Wawa

WaWa For Fast Food and Quick Service

Since a new WaWa is under construction in Melbourne, Florida, not far from where I live, I decided to check out the eatery elsewhere. I had heard a lot of good things about the company and I was curious.  This was my first visit to a WaWa eatery.  Since there are many located in Orlando, I decided on my next trip to Orlando to visit one.  Yesterday, we were at Orlando Regional Medical Center. We chose the WaWa, Holden Heights, South Orange.  The restaurant was about a five minutes drive away.  We easily found a parking space in their private lot.  

The eatery was busy although it was 2:00pm.  I walked around the selection of food items on display and was impressed not only with the freshness and variety of food, but  how clean the eatery was.  There was a big selection of fountain and refrigerated soft drinks including Caffeine Free Diet Sod and  lemonades.  Off to the other side of the kitchen area were Smoothies, Frozen Cappuccino, Lattes, Hot chocolate, Milkshakes, Furricanes and Coffee.  I perused the menu conveniently posted on a floor stand, quickly deciding on the Chicken Quesadilla, $4.49.  My husband decided on the Meatball Sandwich.  Orders are placed on a touchscreen which was easy to use.  We completed our order without any problem.  I had to chose the two cheeses that I wanted and I added Avocado and Sour Cream, $.25 to my order.   My husband declined an extra slice of cheese but requested that the sandwich be toasted. We took our receipt over to the Pick Up Counter.

There we chatted with two young men who informed us that we could pre-pay for our meal at the register to save time.  We decided to pay afterwards since there were only a couple of people waiting for their orders.  Within minutes our order was ready.  I was surprised to find bottles of wine available for purchase near the register, $11.99.  

My first disappointment was that we had to eat outside.  This is Orlando, mid-day in the summertime and it was in the low 90s at the time. I was not expecting this. We chose one of the empty tables available and ate our meal.  My Chicken Quesadilla was a little too soft for my liking but it tasted good especially with the packet of rich sour cream that I added to it.  It was cut into pieces but still a little messy to eat.  My husband enjoyed his meatball sandwich, which came with a slice of melted cheese. He wished that his meatballs were less soft.  We were both satisfied with the taste of our meals and felt full after finishing eating.

The lunch menu at WaWa is surprisingly varied.  Choose from a variety of Hoagies and Sandwiches, Three kinds of Quesadillas, a variety of Paninis, Deep Dish Focaccia Pizza, several varieties, Chicken Strips and numerous Soups, Sides and Bowls.  There are also prepared ahead of time choices that are always available such as cut up fresh fruit selections,  fresh-looking salads and 5 Wraps - even a Bagel Melt at the register.  Some of the salad choices, $4.49-$4.99 are Chicken Caesar, Turkey BLT, Chef, Garden and Thai Style Chicken Mango.   The Chocolate Chip Cookies, $.99 and Stuffed Pretzels. $1.69 looked tempting.  WaWa is opened for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.  While there, be sure to get gas for your car at a good price.

I have to say I think I had the best burger I've had in 20 years here today Thanksgiving Day. If it wasn't for Nadine. The girl who works the front counter being so obnoxious about me sitting outside and I have 30 minutes to eat and leave. The experience would have been perfect so I told the manager about her attitude and her behavior and he said were you drinking outside and I said no. I had a fountain drink. But anyway it was easily the best burger I've had almost ever! I was really surprised that was my Thanksgiving dinner. And it rocked!

My name is Shannon I was here today around 1800 hours. I had never ordered Food here before. Shannon came around and without me even asking, and she helped me place my order. She is outstanding, friendly and very professional. She definitely should be a Manager of a Wawa. I was very happy with my double Hamburger too. Outstanding Woman that's odd this day to meet a professional smiling face and attitude. Shannon is awesome.

Wawa is wawa everywhere, you can choose you want to be healthy or unhealthy this is your choice and only you can decide your path in this life. It is I like wawa. This place pretty clean.
