Wawa Sides Menu: Fries, Soups, Mac & Cheese, and Everything Worth Grabbing on the Side

Nobody walks into Wawa just for a side. And yet, somehow, the sides counter is where half the regulars end up spending their extra dollar.

Fries in six different loaded versions. A soup rotation that changes almost daily. A Mac & Cheese lineup with more flavors than some restaurants have entrees. It’s a lot for something that’s technically an afterthought on the menu.

Here’s the full breakdown of Wawa Sides Menu, category by category, with the honest version of what’s worth the calories and what you can skip.

If you’re building a full meal, this pairs naturally with the Wawa hoagies menu or the Wawa breakfast menu. And if you’re after something to drink with it, the Wawa coffee menu and Wawa drinks menu cover that side of the counter.

Fried Sides & Snacks

This is the category people actually crave. Crispy, fast, and built to eat in the car five minutes after ordering.

Item	Price	Calories
Fresh Fries	~$2.49–$2.99	~380–420
Mozzarella Sticks (4 pc)	~$4.29	~410–420
Chicken Strips	~$3.99	~340
Garlic Knots	~$3.99–$4.49	~300–350

Honestly, the mozzarella sticks don’t get enough credit. They’re not on every “best of Wawa” list, but the ratio of crispy shell to actually-melted cheese is better than most fast food versions I’ve had, and they hold their heat longer than the fries do on a long drive.

Loaded Fries

Wawa’s dinner-hours fries lineup (usually available after 4 PM) takes the regular fry order and turns it into something closer to a meal.

Flavor	Price	Calories
Cheese Fries	~$4.49–$4.99	~550–600
Garlic Parmesan Fries	~$4.99–$5.49	~580–630
Chili Cheese Fries	~$5.49–$5.99	~650–720
Bacon Cheese Fries	~$5.49–$5.99	~620–680
Buffalo Chicken Fries	~$5.99–$6.49	~600–660
Cheesesteak Fries	~$6.49–$6.99	~680–750

If you’re only trying one, make it Buffalo Chicken. It’s the one flavor here that actually tastes distinct rather than just “fries plus cheese.”

Wawa Mac & Cheese

Wawa treats Mac & Cheese as its own mini-menu, not just a side dish, and the flavor range backs that up.

Item	Price	Calories
Classic Mac & Cheese	~$3.99	~320
Classic Mac & Cheese	~$5.99	~480
Classic Mac & Cheese	~$7.99	~640
Buffalo Mac & Cheese	~$6.49	~510
Ranch Mac & Cheese	~$8.69	~660
Chipotle Mac & Cheese	~$6.49	~500

The Ranch version is the one I keep going back to. It sounds like a strange add-in for Mac & Cheese, but it cuts through the richness instead of just piling on more of it.

Hot to Go Soups

Soup at a convenience store sounds like a stretch until you actually try it. Wawa brews these fresh, not reheated from a bag, and the rotation genuinely changes by day and by season.

Flavor	Price (Small/Medium/Large)	Calories
Chicken Noodle	~$3.99 / $5.49 / $6.99	~150–320
Broccoli Cheddar	~$4.29 / $5.79 / $7.29	~250–500
Chicken Corn Chowder	~$4.29 / $5.79 / $7.29	~230–460
Tomato Bisque	~$3.99 / $5.49 / $6.99	~180–360
Baked Potato Cheddar & Bacon	~$4.49 / $5.99 / $7.49	~280–560
Lobster Bisque	~$4.99 / $6.49 / $7.99	~250–500

Family-size containers are available at most locations too, which is a detail a lot of people miss since it’s not always on the printed board; worth asking about if you’re feeding more than two people.

Fresh Snacks

The lighter end of the sides menu, for when fries and Mac & Cheese feel like too much.

Item	Price	Calories
Fresh Fruit Cup	~$3.49	~80–120
Greek Yogurt Parfait	~$3.99	~220–280
Mozzarella String Cheese	~$1.29	~80
Caesar Salad with Chicken	~$8.39	~350–420

Dipping Sauces

Easy to forget about, easy to regret forgetting.

Sauce	Price	Notes
Cheddar Cheese Dipping Sauce	~$1.09	Pairs best with the fries or the garlic knots
Marinara	Included with Mozzarella Sticks	Standard, doesn’t disappoint
Ranch	~$0.99–$1.09	The default pairing for Chicken Strips
Honey Mustard	~$0.99–$1.09	Underrated with the Buffalo Chicken Fries, cuts the heat nicely

How to Order Sides at Wawa

Every item above can be ordered at the touchscreen kiosk, through the Wawa app, or via delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats. Soups and Mac & Cheese in particular are worth ordering ahead through the app during lunch rush, since the fresh-made batches can run out at busy locations.
