Now that Wawa’s rolling out its new dinner options, how do they taste?

Stephanie Farr for The Philadelphia Inquirer says, generally, pretty good, in a Delco kind of way.

She was at the Wawa in Media last Thursday, sampling burgers, fries, pasta, pot roast, rotisserie chicken, and kids’ meals.

Right now, 15 local stores have the burgers, fries and pasta dishes. Another 100 have the rotisserie chicken. They’re all serving kids’ meals.

Farr rated the pot roast and braised chicken ($7.99 each with two sides) and the 1/3-pound Angus burger ($4.99) to be the highlights, despite an Inquirer colleague panning an earlier version of the burger.

She also liked the fettucine Alfredo pasta ($6.99).  The penne marina ($6.99) needed work, with a “pale, puny and tasteless meatball”,  surprising since Wawa’s meatball sandwiches are so popular.

Farr would have also preferred fries that weren’t overdone.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be eating those things at 1 a.m. someday, but probably not while sober,” she wrote.

She appreciated the colorful, cute aspect to the kids’ meals ($3.99 to $5.99) but suggested that Wawa up its prize offering to the kids from Wally Goose trading cars to, instead, maybe stuffed Wallys or Wawa race cars.
