Went to the Waffle Lab recently and it was AMAZING, food was phenomenal(anything with a sweet savory combo is a personal fave). Service was great. 10/10 will return.

weird bouncer who called my real id fake on a power trip and had to be convinced by his bouncer buddy. Pretty funny interaction since I thought he was joking but he had some sand up there or something.

If you’re traveling any distance to visit this place, you’d better call ahead to see if they’re serving food. We made a long trip to Boulder, mainly to visit this place, only to walk in and be told they weren’t serving food. It wasn’t even 8:00 pm when this happened. This is a restaurant, not just a bar. It should be a safe assumption that food is to be served so long as they are open. Oh well, luckily there’s always Insomnia Cookies down the street. Just don’t make the same foolish mistake we did assuming they’d have food.

I have to complain. I’m really sorry, but the Boulder location of Waffle Labs would better have been left a Taco Bell or vape shop or what ever it was before. I brought my son 15 miles for a special breakfast on the strength of the recommendations of the Fort Collins location and could not have been more disappointed. Every table beer glazed at 10 am, clearly no cleaning crew had been in for a LONG time— filth and dirt all over the floor, bar, and tables. Flies everywhere— you’d have done better to leave the doors open. I did not dare go into the bathrooms, and I was prepared for a little “On the Hill” funk. to No napkins in any of the dispensers. Register staff had to rip paper towels off the roll next to the hand sink. “Liege waffles” just soggy misshapen lumps that didn’t really smell of yeast as we’d been ‘advised’ by the menu, just tasted of sour beer. Best thing about the European was the whipped cream. The Flatiron was served cold but blowtorch- charred paper boat is not a good look or smell. No melt on the cheese despite the blackened dots, nothing like an olive oil drizzle or anything to marry the dish to itself, avocado was crunchy hard, pale and actually bitter. We had moved outside because of the smell and the flies yet still unwilling to abandon the 25$ plus tip we’d already dropped, to sit at a picnic table in the patio. The only improvement was the fresh air. We’d have tolerated street dust on the steel street facing standing counter happily, but the Cleanest surface had chewed gum on TOP, so we wasted one of our two paper towels to pinch it off the table. Server was evidently embarrassed, dropped our paper boats and plastic forks on the dirty table (thanks for nothing) and ran. I’m frankly shocked that anybody in the two parties that walked past us could ignore the misery. Probably because we stunned into silence. My kid ate his — sugar can cover a lot of sins— but I ditched after two bites, he ate the bacon and dumped the rest. I have never been angry at food until Waffle Bar ruined what I’d desperately wanted to be a fun breakfast with my teen. I’ve also never been tempted to phone the health board. And no coffee? That might have prevented this review, but there wasn’t even a redeeming stimulant on site to replace the feel good hormones a good waffle should elicit. I’d demand a refund but I can’t bring myself to go within 50 yards if that place. Pity. I like the old-fashioneds at the Sink.

We were in a rush without too many options on a Sunday noon, we ended up eating here only because the place was not packed. And I guess there was a reason. The food was OK - but unprofessional staff, unclean space - and NO COFFEE. At a WAFFLE place. Really?? I wish we could get our tip back. Never going back here again.

Loud very dirty bathrooms disgusting, waffles came out cold and falling apart sub par. Fried chicken and gravy was decent. Will not be back. Lacks overall cleanliness and food quality.

Wednesday is half priced for students = 2 stars. Yep, waffle in the name and they can't even cook that! Ordered the signature waffle and chicken. Waffle was mushy and the chicken was ok. The gravy poured on top seemed to come from a can and was tepid. Service was akin to walking into a McDonalds - all business and no greeting. Music BLARING over the house-speakers were filled with inappropriate stuff (we are no prudes; but I'm not keen on listening to FBombs, female genitalia, and like crass words while I try and have a conversation. Obviously a college joint on the Hill; but we were there at 11am and it was a small crowd. So, read the crowd. Won't go back regardless of the "student discount"...
The waffles are dense and delectable. The ambience is pretty nice. The service is okayish. The only problem I feel is the cost of the items.

The gold standard for chicken and waffles. Every time I try them somewhere else I am ultimately disappointed.

I work at another store on the hill. I ended up getting food poisoning from eating their chicken tenders and gravy. Absolutely not worth going there. Be wary

As a Belgian living in the United States, I’m always on the look out for Liege waffles since they’re so rare. I am delighted to say that they are sold here and that they are delicious. Best liege waffle in thousands of miles in my experience.
