Clean, smaller gas station. Friendly service. Bathrooms need attention. Decent variety of goods. Gas was average in price. Close to freeway.

Love Wawa handmade drinks!! However I dont understand how hard it is to clean and keep clean of the bathrooms. Working in the restaurant business were told that the way the restaurant and bathrooms look tell alot to the customers about the restaurant. Same applies here, no one who really needs to use the restroom wants to walk in a restroom and find it disgusting 😒 😑

Adrelle, who was the cashier was such a joy!! She had a wonderful personality and a a joyful bright spirit. Hard to find personality like that now a days! Definitely made my night better just in the brief time I spoke with her!!

Very helpful professional staff. Close to I-75 so easy on and off for fuel. Freshly made sandwiches, soups, smoothies and coffee. Difficult to maneuver around pumps if busy.

The overnight staff leaves a lot to be desired with regard to their customer service skills. I used to frequently stop in after work and more often than not was met with poor attitudes and abrasive interactions. I guess Ill have to find another place to spend my money.

Worst wawa you could go to! They need more attentive employees, every beverage I have had made in this wawa location is AWFUL, one iced coffee tasted like it was blended with food, the other was suppose to be foamed and instead they filled it only half way no foam and very dull in taste. They only have 2 people working the food area and people waiting an unnecessary long time for one item. RIDICULOUS!! needs corp attention.

If I could put 0 I would. The air machine malfunctioned and drained the air out of my tire and gave me a flat. The employees are useless. Thanks for the great day Wawa!

This has to be the worst wawa I have been to. I have spoken so highly about their coffee and foods ( especially their rice bowls ( university parkway no longer carry rice bowls😔😔😔😔) and burgers and now I find this place with no staffing and no food throughout the night..but if u drive a mile away to Venice or Nokomis or right around Sarasota you will get food. Something has to be wrong at this location... they never have staff. Also, during day time if you order a burger, there are no fries. The soda machine always reads not available for whatever drink you may desire. To ask a questions to the grumpy lady in the kitchen area is a task..she looks at you like why are you here at this time. No mobile ordering, no curbside, etc.. The airport, post offices and hospitals, as well as truckers are functioning around the clock and we all work weird hours and u can never get a drink or food at this location. Its right off i75, perfect location but no food or beverage...even the coffee canisters ( for which wawa built its name on) empty empty.

I watched this place being built and was pleased when it was. I like their coffee; I always use one of their refillable 20oz cups. They ran out, they replaced it immediately. I like that you can customise a sandwich in there. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. I wish there was more vegetarian food. Recommended.

I will usually only review a place if it has well above or below expectations. This Wawa is the bottom of the barrel of any Wawa I have ever been to. I live near here and refuse to stop in anymore because their beverage section is constantly out of stock. They havent restocked the cooler in a week so I will stop wasting my time coming here anymore.

The staff is friendly. The bathroom was clean. And everything ran pretty smooth when I was there. This location had a clean “make your own coffee” area to add your sweetener and other ingredients in order to customize your coffee. Not overwhelmingly busy when I went.

Review №15

This WaWa is always busy, but the location is the best! If you go around 6:30am-9:00am it is always filled with Lawn Trucks refueling before the day so it makes it a little more difficult to get gas.

Review №16

This is probably the worst Wawa that Ive been in when it come to staff and customer service. Also this location has been randomly closed after 10 or 11 many times before but lately its been closed 3 time this week that Ive personally seen with all of the lights as if they were open to find out that everythings locked. Now today their entire drink cooler might be 15% stocked since 10am and is still empty at 7:30pm. Come to find out 5 employees quit within a week, if that doesnt show you how bad Mgt is then I dont know what will.

They did not have more than half of their menu items today when I went! No meatball subs, no pasta sides— nothing. Just a few other subs. Super disappointing.

Ordered a buffalo chicken sub from this location and realized that none of the sauces I had ordered were on the sub. I politely asked the server inside for more sauce and was disappointed with the lack of ability shown by the staff to realize the common mistake and provide suitable customer service. I was glared at and received no verbal communication that I would be able to get the sauce that I had paid for. I’d rate this location two stars based on costumer service.

I stopped here on my way back home to MD. Super clean location and the staff were extremely friendly at 4am. I ordered a breakfast burrito and a Cold Brew iced coffee. Absolute must stop if youre traveling along I-75

Review №27

First time I’ve ever gotten pretty garbage food from a Wawa. Got a breakfast bowl and they forgot the bacon and were very careless with adding the tomato and onions because I opened my bowl to an omelette with a shallow pool of liquid sitting in it topped with one tomato slice and a ton of onions. Really disgusting, waste of money

As of Friday, July 24th 2020, this location is temporarily closed due to an associate testing positive for Covid19. Check if they are open before coming by to shop. Gas pumps are taped off as well. No services are available at this time.

Not really a great Wawa the gas was a bit more expensive compared to other locations in the area. Gotten coffee from this location it was fine. Employees are a bit slow here especially scanning lotto tickets and seems not to know what theyre doing most of the time.

The gas station chain that puts the rest to shame. Free air machines to inflate your car tyres. Decent foods for a convenience store / gas station. A very enticing variety. The staff was very friendly and helpful

Review №36

These places have absolutely no hot food unless you dont mind waiting for them to make it. Its called made to order but they have nothing that is ready for you to Grab & Go. and I dont care where I am. There is always a huge line of people and one register open. I dont think Ive ever been in one anywhere where there wasnt a giant line and one register open.

Ni
Review №37

Make sure you check your food before you leave, because you’re likely to get a tortilla filled primarily with grease and spinach instead of eggs and bacon like you actually ordered. And that’s if you have the time to wait 20 minutes for your food.

Br
Review №38

Its Its pointless to have items on display that you are out of.Its inconvenient for customers and causes confusion at the register.If youre going to display items they should be stocked items available for sale.Side note sandwiches are sloppy and either squeezed when rolled, or just tossed together to get it out the door.For all the hype the quality at this location is awful.

Review №39

Over 15 minutes for a food order. Watched the manager take temperatures instead of helping the employee make items (not that there were many, she was just moving slow). Pass this wawa up for something better.

This is by far one of the worst run Wawa’s I have been to...and I’ve been to Wawa’s from Pennsylvania down to Florida and everywhere in between.In my one stop here ;the bathroom was out of soap and toilet seat covers. Not to mention it was a mess.the coffee station was out of hazelnut creamer completely and was also messy with trash all over the countertop.There was also trash all over the ground near the gas station pumps.

Review №41

Maybe it’s my fault for not digging through my bag to ensure everything is there but this is the third time out of 5 visits they have forgotten the bbq sauce! And tell the food server with the massive hickies all over her neck it’s tacky as h*$#, no one cares that you got some last night.

Love that the Samsung/Apple Pay works at the pumps. Theres a lot of place that have it but are not working. But this one does. Well, at least at pump 12.

Review №47

Went in just to get a gallon of milk. Walked up to the counter and then greeted the lady at the register. She then proceeded to eat some ice cream she had placed on the counter and ignored my greetings. She then scans the milk and told me $4.29. I gave her a $5 dollar bill and she told me have a great day without giving me my change. I walked out without saying anything because of how shocked I was that she even had a job with work ethics like that. Never going back until she is dealt with.

Do you seriously only have two people on the payroll to run this place? doesnt matter what time of day every time I go in there the line is to the back of the store with one cashier and one person making food..stopped buying anything but gas smh

Review №53

Good gas prices, BUT, * If you purchase inside the store be prepared, the clerk asked me for my security code on the back of my credit card. NEVER, EVER, ANYWHERE, have I been asked to do this. Especially while being surrounded by other customers w cell phones out and the usual mouth breather standing all too uncomfortably close behind me. I asked didnt the chip work? he replied Yes, but our system needs your sec code as well. I declined the purchase.In todays times with Credit, Credit Card & Information issues, why does Wawa require to put a customer in a vulnerable position with such info in a public setting?

Review №56

Site sells over priced items, as an example today regular fuel is 2.43 a gallon when just 7 miles away at their WAWA on Lorraine and Rt70 they sell it for 2.19 same fuel! How can one sell so cheap and another not do the same? Im boycotting Wawa as they are not fair in pricing. Contacting WAWA they gave erroneous excuses. Plus their gasolines are lower end fuel that may not be good long term for engine.

The management sucks. Waited nearly 20 minutes to get a sandwich; while employees just talked. On top of that had to wait another 20 minutes in line while the supervisor sat there just looking instead of helpin the cashier
