I found Wonder while staying at Reston Rehab with my husband. Love the different options of food they offer. I have had both delivery and pickup. The delivery was quick both times and food was always hot. Pick up was super quick and easy as well. So far my favorite is Streetbirds deluxe chicken sandwich and onion rings. I would love it they put one of these out in Gainesville, Va.

Had a really wonderful experience with my family this weekend. After reading previous reviews, I was really starting to grow concerned that a new business was getting unfairly criticized, so I decided to see for myself. And now I’m convinced that’s exactly what’s happening.
We ate in and ordered from two different menus (out of what looked like half a dozen different options), which is such a brilliant concept especially if you’re like us and everyone wants different things, which can get stressful. The food was on time, hot, and delicious. Lovely ambience, clean bathrooms, and genuinely friendly, caring staff (which can be hard to find these days). You can even tell from the way they’ve responded with such grace to some of the nasty reviews.
They were busy with takeout even at an off hour, which is a good sign (we were eating around 2 p.m.). I’m not only looking forward to coming back, I really want to spread the word because I’m concerned a new business has been treated unfairly in the reviews. This place definitely deserves five stars all the way around. And judging by the many positive reviews, I’m not the only one who feels that way. Kudos to them for what they’re doing, it’s not easy starting a new business. But don’t take my word for it. Give it a go for yourself.

We enjoyed the food. It was served quickly. The eating space is clean and bright. I was grateful to find great variety that included vegetarian and gluten-free options. Staff was very friendly. We forgot to order for ketchup but we were able to ask for it. We will definitely go back. I am not a great fan of Old Bay spice, but it was great on the fries. The tzaziki sauce was fresh and great. The souvlaki beef was tender and went together well on the salad. We will be back!

Seriously great concept. HORRIBLE EXECUTION. I ordered twice from them. Didn’t see the value after either order. Get a 40% off offer so I say, let’s try the Detroit pizza my friend said was good. I order. 20 minutes later, it’s on its way. Amazing. I watch the driver drive around my condo for 5 minutes. He calls. I can’t find your building. I tell him how to find my building, he hangs up on me. No, ok, let me try to find you now. No, ok, I’m on my way. No thank you for providing directions. Just hangs up on me. 10 minutes later I call back. He is beyond rude as I try to explain yet again how to find my unit (ps, never had another delivery drive have issues finding me with ANY delivery service). He is beyond rude again. And HANGS UP ON ME AGAIN. Another ten minutes I get a notification my order arrives. ITS REFRIGERATOR COLD. Again, great concept. HORRIBLE EXECUTION! don’t bother replying or offering me another discount to try again. In the words of Mr wonderful, you’re dead to me. Kindness can concur a lot. Hanging up on customers, rude and turns them off. Good bye wonder!

We have ordered twice from different vendors here and everything has been great. We almost didn’t order due to the negatives reviews but we glad we gave this place a try. Maybe the bad reviews are from when they just opened and things were not very organized or on point, which is understandable. These are the vendors that we tried so far:
Tejas BBQ - brisket was amazing! Even my mother in law who is from Tennessee was impressed 5/5
Walnut Lane - the short rib was incredible. Tasty, tender, and great portion. A bit expensive, but truly delicious. Best thing we have had from Wonder so far. 5/5
Streetbird - ordered 3 chicken sandwiches and they were ok. Nothing impressive about them. Definitely better then a McDonald sandwich but nothing compared to the OG and greatest Wooboi chicken sandwiches. 3/5
Fred’s meat - the burger tasted good but didn’t look like the photo on the site. It was much smaller and not so flashy. Still, it was good. 3/5
Wing trip - good wings if you like them saucy and breaded. Good flavor and tender. 4/5
Despite the negative reviews, you should give this place a try. The concept is really interesting and the food is good. So don’t stay hungry and curious and give it a try.

The curry is sooooooo flavorful and spices are complex. The pastrami sandwich is very different from deli style. The meat was so tender and the thick cuts just melt in your mouth.
Inside was very clean. Music was a bit too loud though. Other than that no complaints

Do NOT order this for delivery. I’ve never been in store so I’m not sure if they do this at the store too but the amount of meat for the price is lacking. The first time I ordered was really good portions. Tonight was not it. You would think you get way more for near $40+ for two meals. I’m highly disappointed. Whoever’s working tonight needs to be reevaluated or taken off the line.

The food options are incredible. The dining room design was my main issue. There is no buffer from the outside so going on a really cold day and dining in meant every time something came in or out the dining room was flooded with chilling air! The amazing food got comd very quickly as a result which detreacted from what could have been an amazing experience.

Based on their marketing we were expecting celebrity chef quality food. It was more like below average delivery with celebrity chef prices. Much of the food tasted frozen or prepackaged. Nothing seemed fresh. They call it a food hall but it was nothing more than an undersized, underwhelming dining area. Only a few kiosks to order food in house. One of those did not work at all. The staff was helpful but they were pulling double duty cooking in the back. This place was a huge disappointment.
