Wawa

What’s not to like about WaWa? Well lit. Nice updated architecture with stone finish. Good market offerings for snacks and beverages. Never had a problem with my credit card number being stolen. The pretzel desserts are good and the customize your own sandwich computer ordering experience is very techie. It’s all good.

I like this Wawa for the shear convenience and pricing. Located along a somewhat busy strip of N. Dale Mabry in Tampa, it is convenient to where I live and travel. Plus, what bad is there to say about a gas station that has food and drink available for the time-​pinched traveler?
There are always available spots in the gasoline bays at this location and I never have to wait long for a pump when I’m in a rush. There is also a complimentary air fill station in addition to the standard paper towels (always stocked) and squeegee with window washing fluid containers.
The convenience store itself has some great and varied items, everything from hot or cold breakfast and snacks like fresh fruit to malt beverages, beer, and specialty coffee drinks. I like their touch screen ordering system for their food and drink service area. I’ve never had a bad item here. I have also wanted to modify my item and I speak to the food service workers directly without issue.
The staff are friendly and accommodating and want to help with and from my experience are willing to provide a great customer experience. I like this location, like most other Wawas I have been to.

Love the touch screen ordering. Hoagies are the best around! Taste of Philly here in Tampa!

I wish I had a Wawa close to me. I love their cream cheese pretzels. Ahhh they are just delicious. Today I tried the Italian panini and it was very tasty. I would definitely get it again, but also would love to try a few other sandwiches on their menu.
I have had a few of their mochas and lattes and they are just as tasty as Starbucks, but cheaper.
Any employee that I have encountered at any Wawa has been very pleasant. 5 stars from me!

Yes yes yes! Best in town. MTO system for food I usually get a buffalo chicken quesadillas, smart water, or just whatever I need. So much better than Pittsburgh’s Getgo, and Sheetz combined. Love this place !

They advertise the Turkey ranch pepper jack pretzel melt but it is never ever available for lunch time. Quite annoying

Best coffee, place, pastry and people there. Everything is good. I love to stop in Wawa and have a cup of coffee and eat sweet pastry.

This is a great place for one-​stop shopping! Fill up the tank. Order an amazing sandwich on their cute little automated machine that makes you feel like you’re behind the counter taking orders, so you’d better be nicer next time you special order at McDonald’s! And then, don’t forget to fill your tires because it’s FREE! Hard to find that in town and even harder to find one that is always in working order! So, be gentle on it and fill’er’p!
Have to add this tip: I didn’t try it, but as I was getting into my car the kids next to us were begging for a shake from WaWa. I asked the mom and she said they’re WAY better than steak n shake or wendy’s. Just their opinion, but I’m trying it the next time and thought I’d pass that along!

Love love love this place! The gas is cheap and the good items are legit. It is conveniently location near my house and is easy to get in and out of if you aren’t going during rush hour traffic as Dale Mabry gets crazy.
They have all kinds of great snack as well as hot and cold food. Everything I have tried has been good for the price you pay. Go for the quesadilla, stuffed pretzels and WaWa teas!

This is a great place to get gas, a quick snack or coffee in the morning. The staff members are usually very friendly; much more approachable than other gas stations I’ve been to. The inside and clean and well kept and they have tons of different coffee flakes and creamers. My favorite coffee is the hazelnut.
I saw some reviews mentioning homeless people confronting customers… I’ve been to this WaWa tons of times and have never had this happen.
Overall, great place and I love that you can fill your tires with air for free.

Stopped in here for gas and had to try their Philly cheese steak because of a buddy’s recommendation. I thought putting your order into a computer system with sandwiches in four different categories with no prices listed was not the most user friendly approach, a bit tedious as you switched categories and options, and a little impersonal because you can’t even talk to a human being. They had 2 computers and the girl next to me was having trouble figuring out what to order and a line formed waiting for the machines because the process is kind of lengthy if it’s your first time ordering. I was able to see all the veggies, seasonings, and sauces without asking any questions so that was nice. Then they told me I had to go to a register and pay, then come back to the sandwich makers when I was ready. There were kind of a long line of people buying lotto tickets, cigarettes, and paying for gas in front of me. Then I had to wait for them to call out a long number which I thought was kind of impersonal. Why can’t they ask for a name to make the process more personal like panera or Starbucks and have a register at the sub counter so I don’t have to run around? The Philly sub ended up only being $ 5.60 which is cheaper than subway’s Philly and way better in quality and flavor so I was pleased. The whole process took about 10minutes which wasn’t too bad. I’d say service is non existent because you dont even talk to anyone and the process is a little unorthodox but their subs were good so I’ll be back. Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE this place! In addition to the gas usually being cheapest here, the inside is where its at. They have a LARGE selection of beverages (alcoholic and not), chips, wraps/​sandwiches, and other snacks. Then there is the deli where everything is made to order. The computer screen menu thingy is where you order a variety of sandwiches customized with a selection of breads, meats, sauces, veggies, and cheeses. These always turn out really good. There are also soups, with clam chowder, lobster bisque, and baked potato with bacon and cheese being my favorites. The chicken tortilla is also good too. There are bowls with mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, or both with a meat of your choosing on top. These are ok. There are donuts, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and bowls, with my breakfast favorite being the sausage burrito with the chipotle sauce and avocado. There are just sooooo many good things to choose from here, and there is really no pleasing you if you cannot find something to your liking here. And did I mention all of the coffee choices? To top it all off, the staff is usually pretty friendly and the place is always clean. Somehow we get coupons for various free food items mailed to our house regularly, so it would be a good idea to get that going for you. By far the best convenience store (company) I’ve been to in the US, which I’ve driven across in its entirety twice.

A nice wawa. Service isn’t as good as PA wawas, considering my order doesn’t always come out right.

In less than 18 months, this has gone from my favorite new place on Dale Mabry near 275 to get gas, a fountain beverage and a pretzel or a really good sandwich to an enormous pain in the ass when it comes to dealing with people hovering outside waiting to ask you for money.
This afternoon in broad daylight, a shady man literally followed me to the door of my parked vehicle after I walked out the front door verbally trying to get my attention the entire time.
As soon as I shut the door on him, he immediately wandered over to the nearest lady pumping gas and started harrassing her.
Unfortunately, this currently seems to happen more often than not at this location and Wawa is doing absolutely nothing to take care of the problem.
Until this Wawa decides having loyal customers is worth protecting them and making a concerted effort to rid their parking lot of others who are scaring the hell out of the us, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Sorry, a soft pretzel and a club sandwich simply is not worth an aggressive stranger following me to my car.

Quality subs, ²⁴⁄₇
whhaatt :)

I am still a little confused I am writing a review for food at a gas station, but Wawa swept into the Tampa Bay area promising a gas station like Florida had never seen. They have certainly lived up to that and I’ve come to crave some of their offerings. The top on my list is their frozen mocha cappuccino. The coffee and chocolate flavors are both strong, stopping just short of bitter, and it reminds me of New Orleans style mocha I used to get at a chain that’s since pulled out of Florida (PJs — I miss you!).
I’ve also had a chance to try a few of their food offerings including the chicken quesadilla, the turkey sub, and the club sandwich. All were much better than typical fast food and tasted fresh. I really love the touch screen ordering and the way the menus walk you through all of your options from toasted vs. untoasted, an array of veggie topping options, and condiments. I really appreciate that Wawa clearly indicates when things are an add-​on charge, because while I like splurging, I hate surprises when it comes time to pay. Perhaps the biggest surprise was Wawa’s chili. It’s AWESOME and way better than a certain chain I can name that prides itself on its chili. A great mix of tomato, beef and beans, all in perfect proportion. I can honestly say I’d visit Wawa just to get chili. Keep it Wawa and your quest for market domination should be a breeze!

WaWa-​WEEEEE-​WAAAAA!!! Quick someone call Borat this place is stocked better than the whole country of Kazakhstan.
I heard some rumblings around the work place about how cool this place was, but it was not until I got the down-​low from Steve E. that I started obsessing about checking this place out.
I am a sucker for gas stations with sweet convenience stores. I drive out of my way to hit up a Race Trac, which I always considered the best… then I met WAWA and it made me WAWA-​WEEE-​WAAA all the way home.
Did I die and go to heaven? Don’t stare at the LIGHT! Well that is exactly what I did when I walked in. I was pulled toward the light of the order your own sub screen. I was not even that hungry, but I wanted to play with the computer game looking digital order screen so much that I just decided I might as well fancy myself a Cuban Sandwich. I got a big one expecting to bring it home and share it with my fiancée… WHOOPS!!! I at the whole thing driving down the road and I have the mustard stains on my shirt and jeans to prove it! IT WAS AWESOME. I think Publix puts all subs to shame, but a Cuban is not exactly a sub. Nevertheless, while Wawa is not going to de-​thrown Publix, it will murder Subway 10 times, and that is just before lunch.
Wawa also had some good deals, like Red Bull 2 for $ 4.
Their gas seemed to be priced just slightly lower than everything else around (but maybe I just have pearl color glasses after how much Wawa WOWED me).
Huge selection inside the gas station, very spacious lot with lots and lots of filling stations. Clean inside and out. Prompt and friendly service. I have absolutely no complaints. Wawa is going to become my go-​to gas and convenience. Let’s just say, I’M PUMPED!!!

I realize that it’s tough to get excited about a gas station, but consider this… Wawa is a 24-​hour service station which is extremely well-​lit, super clean, and they prepare freshly-​made deli sandwiches around the clock. This particular Wawa on Dale Mabry Highway is south of I-​275 and north of Kennedy, and you’ll almost always find a Tampa police officer eating their dinner, or sipping a cup of coffee. Which makes it one of the safest places in town should you need to pull over and get some help.
Right now Wawa has their special Hoagiefest pricing deal which means that you can get any of their 10″ sub sandwiches (also known as ‘Hoagies’) for $ 4.79. That includes both hot or cold hoagies, and you can add in a soda and bag of chips and easily be out the door for under $ 10.
I like the fact that the sandwiches are made to order — you push the buttons on a touch-​screen to order your sandwich, and make decisions about size of your sandwich, toasting the bread, adding condiments, double the meat, double the cheese, sauces, etc. These sandwiches are made fresh — 24 hours a day along with soups and salads.
Within the rest of the store you can pick up healthy sides such as fruit cups, side salads, and a variety of potato salad, macaroni salad, soft pretzels, etc. They also carry a wide variety of chips, pastries, and donuts, along with sodas, freshly-​brewed coffees, specialty drinks, and beer.
Gas is affordably priced, plus they have great food around the clock. Wawa is certainly a nice addition to the Tampa Bay area.

Before Wawa the only decent gas station in Tampa was 7-​Eleven.
Wawa is ten times better than any gas station in Tampa. Why you ask? The gas station is so much cleaner than any other gas station I have been to and they offer an excellent selection of food and coffee. The food isn’t gourmet, but they offer healthy snacks that you can’t find at other gas stations such as meat and cheese trays, fruit, and veggies. How many other gas stations sell produce?
Other highlights of the gas station include the huge coffee station with over half a dozen different types of coffee blends, the smoothies, and the made to order sandwiches. (The Meatball Hoagie and the Philly Cheesesteak aren’t the most authentic sandwiches, but they really hit the spot when you have the midnight munchies!)
At the end of the day this is just a gas station, but it is one of the best gas stations I have been to.

First day open and big crowd for lunch. Order any of 20 Hoagies and add your cheese, toppings, spreads, etc and your order is ready immediately. Don’t have to stand in a «subway» line pointing to all the items you want to add. Order ready quickly and very friendly service. Have full line of barista coffee and prices a lot less than Starbuckles.
