“They have some of the best servers and cooks in the Houston County area. We all know Waffle House, in general, has some kind of reputation but I love the workers here. Chelsea, Dezmond, Blake, Lindsey, AJ, and few others make coming here worth it. I’d travel across the entire town just to eat here. They know their customers. They live the meaning of customer service. My only problem with Waffle House is they need to put all the menu items on the website to order since they don’t want us to call in orders anymore. Other than that, I LOVE IT HERE!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Applebee’s.

One thing I have decided, work ethics and proper management are not as important as it once was. Many people are “flying by the seat of their pants” because they have been forced into positions they’ve no idea how to operate because of the lack of staff and support. Saying that, there are exceptions.

The server was great and very considerate. I was grateful she shared that the place was understaffed and there could be a longer wait time. She was very busy running the floor and door, but she was doing her best. I understood the situation and knew she couldn’t handle frequent rounds to the tables.

Oftentimes, that info is not disclosed and the attitudes and actions of the servers are horrible, resulting in “hangry” patrons and empty tables.

I did stay and my meal was served just as quick as any other time. And quite delicious I’d say. I’ll have another late night visit to Applebee’s!“

“We stopped before a long drive heading back home, what we didn't know was a main water line was just repaired overnight and had only been fixed shortly before our arrival at 5 AM. We were a little concerned but staff did a great job and provided us with a good meal.
10/31/25 I couldn't access the Link you sent about the employees that worked the early morning shift but the date was Saturday the 18th in Dothan Alabama and we were there close to 5 AM. I hope this helps.“

Christa is a GREAT server, and Dee can COOK!!!! 👌🏻😍

Update Aug 22, 2025-
The BEST waffle house food tonight EVER!!!!
Not greasy at ALL! WONDERFUL taste! The staff was WONDERFUL as well. They were very professional and kind.
Shoutout to Aidena, Corey, Dylan, Torrence, and Bryanna. 💖🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖

Update 2023:
Jessica was AWESOME!!! 👌
Food was EXCELLENT!
BEST experience I've had at ANY RESTAURANT!!! WOW. 💕
P.S. : we went around 11:00 pm or so at night. The staff was SUPERB! I'm guessing the bad reviews were from the day time staff?

I'd give the nice guy that works there five stars. VERY nice staff and GREAT food. Do wish they told me they had a 20 % fee for carryout. I always leave a big tip regardless, mostly at Christmas! You should let customers know. I spent 87 dollars feeding four people. 😳😳😳😳“

“This restaurant has gone down hill. It’s so scruffy, shabby and everything is worn out. Your feet stick to the floors in the bathroom. The carpet is dirty. The food has used to be delicious but the last two times the food is unrecognizable from a few months ago. Dry fish, dry coleslaw, fish and chips fry. Baked potato hard. It’s such a shame“
