Wonder has opened a restaurant in Franconia.
Wonder, a new kind of food hall that is revolutionizing the food industry by creating the super app for mealtime, has opened a location in Franconia this fall at 7001 Manchester Blvd.
A Wonder location is slated to open in Alexandria's Potomac Yard neighborhood in January, according to the Wonder website. The eatery's other Virginia locations are in Reston and Rosslyn.
So far, the Franconia location has racked up 3 out of 5 stars on Yelp from 16 reviews.
Kate Z. from Alexandria wrote: "Tried this place after receiving a mailer coupon for 50% off. Everything we ordered was fantastic. We ordered a variety of options including the short ribs, cheeseburger pizza, fries, and pecan pie. I was genuinely surprised at the amazing quality of delivery! The service was equally excellent with the food arriving on time and hot!"
Some reviewers noted the spot is more conducive to delivery and pickup; although it offers seating, the dining area is small and features only about 30 seats.

Hours at the Franconia location are 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
The eatery says "We partner with incredible restaurants across the country. From Phoenix to Atlanta, and D.C. to Los Angeles, we bring you a taste of what the nation has to offer, just around the corner." Delivery is free.
Founded by serial entrepreneur Marc Lore, Wonder is "making great food more accessible while pioneering a new category of 'Fast Fine' dining," the company says.
Wonder offers Multi-Restaurant Ordering, a first in the industry where customers can order from upwards of 30 restaurants in a single order, with each item being made-to-order in a sequenced fashion so that they finish simultaneously and can be delivered to the customer together.
The platform features exclusive offerings from the world's best chefs–including Bobby Flay, Marcus Samuelsson and José Andrés–and some of the country's best restaurants–including Maydan, Tejas Barbecue, Di Fara Pizza and Fred's Meat and Bread.
Wonder has plans to reach 90 locations in the United States this year. Leveraging its proprietary technology, Wonder is able to differentiate itself from every other restaurant or food delivery concept by offering exceptionally high-quality food, with order-to-delivery times below 30 minutes.
