    Wawa is your answer for quality fuel ⛽️ and free air service (2 machines for free air). The mini store inside is very nice. It has 2 PNC bank ATMs which are free from any surcharges if you use PNC card not sure about other bank cards. It has restrooms 🚽 Store has lot of food 🥘 and drinks 🥤 options. It has fruits 🍌 section as well. If you are on the go this place is a easy grab for your and your cars 🚘 hunger. It is also very near to mega Walmart center.

    Wawa has great service, nice product offerings and perfect locations. The gas is generally competitively priced but is more expensive, in general, than Costco. But you don’t need a membership to shop here. The food is also quite nice. I generally grab a sandwich from here for lunch. Since I’m vegetarian I would have liked a better set of choices. They also have Nitrogen for your tires. Apparently Nitrogen is better for your tires compared to normal air. Perhaps because the air is so polluted these days.

    Best coffee bar ever! Hot and made fresh food. Can’t go wrong with a stop here. Pretty busy on a Friday night, so expect a wait for your food.

    Just like a Wawa...quick and friendly customer service. One comment that can be looked upon, no public restrooms available 🧐

    Just had to walk out!! 7/26/23 9:25am Some guy brought his dog in and the girls were gushing over it. And he stood there with a stupid look on his face while they were petting it. I have a dog so I don’t hate them. They just aren’t supposed to be where there is open food and near the counter where people make sandwiches for customers. The door even says no dogs unless they are service animals. If anyone from the health department was here they’d shut this place down. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Hey Melissa if you don't want to work then stay home so someone more attentive can make my sandwich. You gave me a Southwest Chipotle Chicken Panini WITHOUT THE CHICKEN.

    Was not aware employees are allowed to smoke weed at work a and on the clock, I came in today around 7am today to see a two female employees smoking a large joint right in front of the store one employee was dressed like a cat, the other one heavyset girl was in a red wawa shirt, she then proceeded to the center fuel lanes to share the joint with another gas employee in a cowboy hat. Not sure what's going on over there, smoking weed near the pumps, just a bit insane. Watch your cameras front of store and center fuel lanes around 645am to 710am 10/31/23 Maybe News 12 needs to hear about this also. Ray

    UPDATE: Wawas is now peaceful and pleasant. Review has been upgraded to 5 Stars. Woot! I don’t need to be lectured by the cashier about possible environmental damage when I ask for a plastic straw. Or be told by the cashier to drink out of the can like a big boy. The same passion and concern should be expressed to those who buy cigarettes from your establishment. I thought this would stop after you guys remodeled your facility. I guess not.

    Every time I go to this place at night and the shift supervisor guy is around, my order is a disaster in every way imaginable, although I must say when I’m lucky enough to have the blond lady make my order, it is made very well. Unfortunately, I am fed up by now of not getting the food I order, thus the one star. That man should not supervise anything.

    DO NOT BLAME THESE EMPLOYEES. They are mostly fantastic, working with their hands tied. The store manager at this location is largely ineffective, arrogant and rude. More apt to feed into negativity than problem solve. Becomes very childish and engages in recalcitrant behavior with customers and staff alike as I have witnessed personally. Has the vibe of a totalitarian tyrant that behaves like he is Impervious to consequence. Employees here are noted for being hard workers but resentful Being chronically understaffed, while having to contend with shortcuts in supplies because their manager is all about personal bonuses at the expense of customer service and employee relations. Known to play favorites and is not even handed. Always finding EXPIRED milk. So it goes today, September 21, 2023 there are chocolate milks in the refrigerator dated September 18. There is literally always something unavailable that is supposed to be available on the menu. The manager seemingly makes decisions based on his paycheck while carelessly using some very good and nice people like protective shields. This particular store just will not have “something”. The explanation at the store level is that they are forbidden to replenish menu items if it poses a risk of even minimal waste. Unfortunately, there seems to be no concern that it upsets more than just one or two customers on a daily basis. This is frequently attributed to the store manager who has been known to defy policies As a means, to manipulate his numbers to give the impression of performing better than reality would expose I literally spend between $100 and $150 at Wawa daily. Sometimes even more. This is my “home“ store and it has lost that sale many times, just by virtue of not having one item that I was looking for. People should not have to bounce from store to store for individual components of their needs. Once among the best WaWa locations despite its shortfalls, it has rapidly become a mitigated disaster. It’s clear that the manager here is an abject failure, trying to milk, fatter paychecks through the bonus structure at the expense of quality service and performance.

    Ever since they remodel this place it been worse then before , I recently got a chicken and cheese quesadilla it was sent cold , no sour cream that I paid for , previous time I get a BLT and now it soggy bacon not well done. So I stopped getting it I started getting quesadillas and it the 2nd time they mess this one up !!! It isn’t hard to pay attention and do the right thing. There isn’t any excuses if you have a slip that prints out step by step !!! Stop being lazy

    This Wawa is a good location. The staff is helpful, food is good and coffee is always ready or has a backup pot ready to go. The only dink is their bathroom. I don't know who's job it is to clean it but they are... remiss in their duties(I'm working on using phrases that aren't curse words to express myself and their bathroom is a fxxxkin mess). Other that that it is my local Wawa that I visit regularly.

    For the money I paid for custom ordered salad I would think they would at LEAST put fresh cucumbers in it. THEY DIDN'T. I found out about it when I drove away and threw it away. I will claim the money back. Its what you pay at a dinner what I paid for a soup and salad at wawa! :)

    1 ⭐️ because I waited almost an hour and I was kind enough not to make a scene, and the lady called Jennifer saw that we were waiting for a while, her colleague even said that we had been waiting for a while and she didn't even care, it was because I was wearing my Brazil shirt? Or was it just a coincidence? Several people arrived after us and were attended to. She saw that I was Brazilian and didn't assist me because she didn't want to. It's called Xenophobia for those who don't know. and I went to the other Wawa full of the same and they attended to me in the right order. I'm not being mean, I'm just tired of going through this. Thank You for understanding!

    Why is the bread always SO hard, I could break through my car window with it. It's like chewing on a shoe, I think I might break a tooth! Normally I wouldn't say anything but this is like the 3rd time I've gotten a sandwich that I could barely eat. FIFO, rotate your bread and throw the old stuff away. On a second note the staff has always been very friendly and nice.

    Store # 0983 Old bridge Tpk South River NJ FAILURE TO PROVIDE SAFE FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS, HEALTH CODE VIOLATION, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, AND ZERO COURTESY! SPECIFICALLY: Sales Associate Martin and Manager Jeff. 2 incidents occurred at Store # 0983 Old bridge Tpk, South River NJ in which Sales Associate Martin engaged in a personal conversations with his acquaintance "PETE" upwards of 15 minutes, outside of designated break times, while Sales Associate Martin had the only register open obstructing the register and keypad for making purchases for ALL customers. Both times I had to ask them to move so I could SAFELY make my purchase. Both times they failed to do so and acted as if I was inconveniencing them. I've personally witnessed Sales Associate Martin sitting in and on the cooler to cool down where the premade sandwiches, fruits, and yogurt parfaits are stored while food is in it ON HOT DAYS. Sales Associate Martin is also rude on a daily basis despite any professional courtesy extended to him. Upon bringing this to Manager Jeff's attention he immediately became irate , defensive, and literally walked away from the conversation. Immediately after this interaction they thought I left the store but I stayed and listened as they stood behind the counter and laughed about my concerns, the situation, and myself. Because that's their friend " PETE " When I confronted them both and asked them If it was funny Manager Jeff once again walked away. PART OF BEING A LEADER JEFF, IS TO BE ABLE TO HEAR AND RESOLVE PROBLEMS. AS WELL AS MANAGE YOUR STAFF POSSIBLY LEADING BY EXAMPLE.MANAGER JEFF FAILS AS A LEADER IN ALL THESE AREAS. I'm ALWAYS courteous and respectful to ALL the staff. I even tip the workers at the gas pumps for all their hard work. SO MUCH FOR PEACEFUL AND CIVIL RESOLUTIONS I WILL BE RECORDING ALL MY TRANSACTIONS THERE MOVING FORWARD FOR MY PROTECTION.
