Great offerings for fast food and plenty of healthy vegetables; They even gave me picked carrots &peppers. . This location is superior than the other one down the street on western. I do not advise their sauces since they are loaded with preservatives and HFCS. That’s a corporate issue. I carry siracha sauce in car to avoid the corporate poisoning.

Excellent kind service!
Employees take pride in the food quality, presentation, preparation and cleanliness of the store.

Picked up a bite at Waba Grill today. I was so pleasantly surprised, with the care taken to prepare and the presentation. It was so great and delicious. It was almost too pretty to eat… I quickly moved past that😃 and was deliciously and delightfully yummy satisfied.

Melrose and Western location!!!

It’s a horrific 102 degree Sunday out there. It’s about 230 and my unit was beginning to get so warm I decided to go somewhere with AC. Their AC here is ok. Better than many but not icy either. In any case I got a chicken plate $13.57. They grill the chicken well here. Some places don’t. The place isn’t packed at all so service was fast. About 10 minutes. They play K-pop! You can park for free in the adjacent Ralph’s structure! No time limit lol!
