Waffle House

No way this is less than 5 stars. Waffle, bacon, hash browns, eggs and toast for $ 6.89 and friendly service. Bomb.

New workers they went through the trouble of making me fresh gravy and very inviting.

Gross. We’ve eaten at this location once and walked out a second time. The first time we took our nieces for a late breakfast a few weeks back. We crammed into a booth and were waited on immediately. We all got pancakes, eggs, and bacon. All of our food was meh. Basically we could have made this food at home and it would have tasted the same… except we wouldn’t have spent $ 40. I will say that the lady that waited on us was friendly and attentive. I will also say that it is disgusting to sit where you can see the cook space and watch them slosh buckets of soapy water onto the floor to clean. There just has to be a better way. I can’t see how this place is truly sanitary.
The second time it was just my husband and myself and we were wanting pancakes. The Original Pancake House is about twenty minutes from this location so we decided to give WH another go figuring that at least it will be cheaper than the last visit with only two of us. So we walk in and find a booth to sit in. As we are walking our shoes are literally sticking to the floor. Then when we sit down it immediately smells like smoke. Turns out we were in the smoking section. Hi, the whole restaurant is smaller than a McDonald’s and it is all open. How can you have designated smoking section? THE ENTIRE PLACE IS A SMOKING SECTION. So we left and drove to The Original Pancake House.
I get that this place is supposed to be a dive but this was just gross.

If only I could give this FILTHY NASTY place 0 stars. Yes, I know it is Waffle House. My daughter and I were 2 of the three customers in the restaurant on a Tuesday night. My daughter was so excited to get to go to Waffle House. The place was disgusting!!! I felt so dirty and wouldn’t even let my daughter use the restroom. It looked like a Friday or Saturday night with a drunken crowd had just happened which, would have given them an excuse why it was so filthy. The waitress had zero clue what she was doing. Did not even know what a sausage egg and cheese grits bowl was. Obviously it’s a bowl of sausage egg and cheese on top of grits. The coffee was cold and tasteless. Had to ask for a new cup from a different pot. Had to ask for cream. Had to ask for sugar. Never offered to refill. The syrup dispenser was so sticky I had to use a napkin to hold handle. Bacon literally dripping in grease. Had to let it soak on napkins. Grits swimming in butter. Poured it out before letting my daughter eat hers. Not sure if it is smoking or not but my clothes and hair stink just from being in there for ab 30 – 45 mins – couldn’t get out fast enough! Wanted to leave without eating but, my daughter was excited-​bc the only other one I have taken her to is NOT this gross. It’s right outside of Westlake, Roanoke and Southlake for goodness sakes. You would think it would at least be clean! NEVER WILL I GO BACK!!!

Total lack of mgmt. I ate breakfast at 5 am. Cook was lost and waitress was all over him. The night manager fell asleep at the table. Then waitress and cook got in big argument. That was the best part of this dining experience. Food was dripping in grease and not worth the 10 bucks i paid. Skip this place

I’ve eaten at this location several times. Keep in mind it has the atmosphere of a «greasy spoon» but it’s never been greasy when I was there. I’ve had the breakfasts with raisin toast & my all-​time favorite, hash browns scattered all the way (but no jalapeños please).
The food has always been superb and the staff friendly. Sure, there’s the younger set as wait staff, mostly but not all, and they’ve been very polite and friendly too. I would suggest to management that ANY staff with extreme facial piercings be made to take them out while they’re on duty (septum, lip).
I used to smoke (almost 1 year tobacco free) yet smoking on the other side has not bothered me. As a BIG plus, they do allow vaping (please, fellow vapers, NO CLOUD CHASING. We want to keep this PRIVILEGE).
Overall, I give 5 stars because the Waffle House is what it is. No apologies. Clean, friendly and awesome food!

Food is cheap. They have a million little up charges that made my meal for one over $ 10. Great if middle of night and no other place open. Service very unprofessional and not clean. I gave 2 stars just bc the hours they are open.

Great experience! I love Waffle House and I appreciate one that operates well.

Came in early to get some breakfast on my day off. The lady who prepared my food never even put gloves on. Not to mention, if it is a factor for most people LIKE ME, they still allow smoking in here. It smells like an old run down diner with that kind of smell — someone even smoking next to me with me coughing about it.
Will update once I eat the food. 2 egg breakfast with toast, bacon and hashbrowns.
Greasy. Very greasy. Somewhat burned hashbrowns. Nothing was seasoned. While I waited, they cleaned dirty jelly packets and PUT THEM BACK to be used. But wow dirty. Adding pictures.

I’m realistic. It’s Waffle House. It is what it is. But this location is FILTHY. The salt shaker had syrup on it. Every single table needed a wipe-​down… And they weren’t busy.
And then there was Kenzie, our waitress. She almost willfully ignored our beverages, and even though we were one of only three parties in the entire place, didn’t seem to care. At all.

I will say as far as Waffle House’s go this one is really pretty good. Not always perfect but it is usually clean. There is a smoking section and it does state that on the door so some people may not like that. My husband does smoke but I have gone without him and sat in the non smoking area and I never noticed any smoke smell. Someone said the ceiling was yellow and I don’t know what they are taking about because the ceiling is actually silver metal type panels. If they are short handed it might take a little longer to get food but any restaurant you go to could have that happen. I really think most people that comment on these things are notorious complainers. You can usually find them complaining on many sites. Most people don’t think to rate a place if it is ok only when its superb or nasty so I thought I would go ahead and post. This place is always packed on Saturday and Sunday mornings so it must be pretty good!!! The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that no place is really perfect.

I stopped here for a quick dinner on the way to the hotel. Not the best in America, but I’ve had worse. The diner was clean when I visited and the waitress was very friendly. I had quick service and the food was decent. My gripes: that the restrooms were dirty and that is a HUGE no no for me. In addition, my grits had a big string of clumps which is a waste. However, if in a pinch, I’d go back. Cheap eats.

I hate dirty places but this one at least makes an attempt to keep clean. Rough around the edges waitstaff but you don’t go for the gals. Not bad, cheap and fairly quick. I’ve had breakfast and lunch and enjoyed each meal.

I love Waffle House, but this location needs improvement. Our waitress could not remember we asked for jelly. Eventually, I asked another waitress who looked at a dirty table for extra jelly. One employee even smoked a cigarette in the restaurant. A sign clearly states on the entrance no smoking is allowed. Obviously the rules did not apply to her. I will dine at Waffle House again but not this location.

Okay place I did see a couple is bugs that kind of grossed me out

Cheap good and quick

As a kid, eating breakfast before school each day consisted of 3 major places to choose from: The Donut Palace, Waffle House, or Denny’s. Now, when I was just a wee tater tot, I did not take into consideration important things to keep in mind such as cleanliness of the restaurant, tastiness of the food, general appearance and hygiene of the staff, and other various important things like that when choosing where I wanted to eat that day. Instead, it was all about instant gratification– for my growling, empty stomach. I used to eat at this one place, you know, the place with the huge yellow and black square letters that spell W-​A-​F-​F-​L-​E and then under neath it the same squares spell out H-​O-​U-​S-​E. Congrats on all you spelling bee champs, I’m talking about Waffle House. I used to eat their waffles all the time back in the day… until a recent trip to a nearby Waffle House.
I went to the one right down the street from me (now mind you this is several years later…) and I noticed the huge «Now Hiring Friendly Faces» banner on the window. It struck me as odd and it even made me laugh because the man and the woman wearing perfectly starched blue and white striped aprons, with perfect bleached-​white hats and their even whiter perfect smiles seemed to be false advertising to me. Just by the looks at that sign, it makes it look like they hire dental school graduates. Boy was I wrong. I went inside, waited about 10 minutes, until a emo-​looking girl came to my table and managed to flop down my menu and barely washed silverware. The restaurant reeked of cigarette smoke (since they are all confined to one corner, but the place isn’t very ventilated) and the ceiling probably wouldn’t pass inspection since it was more yellow than a chain smoker’s teeth. The waitress (who I will call Lucy) had more studs in her face than the framework for a new house. I mean she had more piercings in her face than acupuncture and the blackest of hair with horribly bleached tips. (If I ever met her hair stylist, I’d tell her she needs to seek a new profession). The most unattractive woman I’ve ever seen. Half her teeth were rotted out, she reeked of marijuana, and her apron and clothing weren’t that clean. Now I don’t know about you but that doesn’t seem like the kind of people I would want to hire. But let’s not forget that Waffle House isn’t the IHOP of 24-​hour breakfast hot spots, and let’s also keep in mind that they probably have a high turn-​over rate… All I’m saying is, I about lost my appetite when I saw the 4 people working there that day. That was just the waitress. Don’t even get me started on the cooks. They were swearing, and being very careless, as well as they didn’t seem too phased by their lack of proper hygiene either. I was extremely hungry and I met a friend there and I didn’t want to make a scene, so I ordered the Belgian Waffle. F-​ing delicious waffles! However, because the advertisement stated that Waffle House hires «friendly faces» and due to my personal experience that day, gives me good reason to believe just the opposite… So overall, they have the most amazing waffles ever, and even though I would love to see them spare me half the grease on my hash browns, they don’t quite meet or beat my opinion (s) about Denny’s or IHOP. Sorry Waffle House, you burnt my toast (figuratively speaking), and because of that, I’m going to burn as one of your past-​time favorite customers. Thanks for burning me. You should be called Waffle Hell.
