Wow, Waba Grill! Arrived at 10 A.M. to meet-up with someone. Very clean outside and inside upon entry. Outside eating area was clean, as in all tables and seats were clean. Inside seating, tables, soda bar, and order counter were clean. Clean!Staff was very friendly, all while busy prepping for the lunch crowd.I ordered a steak soft taco (yes, at 10 A.M. ?). Excellent, even better at 10 A.M. ?The Waba soda bar deserves a round of applause. Nice to see flavors not found at other...
