Waffle House in Athens

“Maybe the best waffle house I've eaten at and I've eaten here all my life. Last weekend there was a line out the door and a waiting list. Never seen at a waho before. Ordered a crispy hash brown and even tho it was crowded, they took the time to make it crispy. Here now at midnight and it was just as good.“

“Anthony Bourdain famously said, Waffle House is “… a place of safety and nourishment.“ “… its warm, yellow glow, a beacon of hope and salvation…“
I agree!
This location does not disappoint.
Highly recommended“

“You must experience the Waffle House when one is available for you. Last year while we were visiting Athens, we tried stopping at a local Waffle House but it was closed for dine in. The following day we got take out from the Waffle House. To be honest, it wasn't all that good. Maybe cause it was take out, it got cold on the way home or it just wasn't prepared right. Or maybe the food would have tasted better if we had eaten it there.

This Waffle House is right across the street from where we are staying for our trip. We wanted an easy breakfast to hold us over till we had lunch. So we stopped in to get some goodies.

The venue isn't the cleanest, it looks run down. Your basic greasy spoon. Walking in, you kinda expect it to look the way it does. We were instantly greeted and was told to pick a table. We sat next to the big windows at a booth. I would have loved to sit at the breakfast bar to get the whole experience but my father in law wanted a booth. Menus were already on the table so we checked out what kind of goodies they had.

Our sweet waitress got drinks started for us. After drinks were dropped off, food orders were taken. I got an egg with a side of chicken sausage patties. My husband and father in law shared a waffle breakfast that came with eggs, toast, bacon and grits.

My egg was fried perfectly. The yolk was still kinda jammy which was perfect for my toast. The chicken sausage was different. It was kinda hard and a little dry. The flavor was there but the texture was tough. The waffle was so good! We loaded that baby up with butter and syrup. I like how thin it is. The waffle was the best combination of sweet and savory.

Being from Idaho, I only got to watch crazy videos about the Waffle House on Tik Tok. I'm happy I got to experience a meal here. The staff was super friendly. From the wait staff to the chefs, they all thanked us for coming in. I know it's not the cleanest or most expensive breakfast joint I have been to but they whipped up a good meal and a friendly face served it. Hopefully I can get one more waffle in before we head home.“

“Waffle House, where do I even begin? Not to glaze too hard, but this illustrious establishment stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, redefining the very essence of high-class dining. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in an ambiance of unpretentious sophistication, almost comparable to warm familiar wrapping of Isaac’s arm around my waist. where the sizzle of golden hash browns and the aroma of perfectly seared steaks ressembling Weston’ own rippling muscles create an atmosphere rivaled only by the most exclusive of dining experiences.

Each dish is a masterstroke (like Pierce) of gastronomic artistry—the eggs, delicately scrambled to ethereal perfection; the waffles, a sublime symphony of crispness and fluff; the bacon, rendered to an exquisite balance of crunch and succulence akin to the taste of Luke. And let us not forget the pièce de résistance: the scattered, smothered, and covered hash browns, an opulent tribute to the heights of culinary innovation.

At Waffle House, the dining experience transcends mere sustenance—it is a celebration of flavor, a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship of the American diner tradition. It is, without question, the upper echelon of fine dining, available to those discerning enough to appreciate its brilliance at any hour of the day or night.“

“We came here after a game day & it was the best Waffle House experience I’ve ever had! The food was amazing & came out fast. The service was what made this experience exceptional. I’m genuinely sitting here wondering how all these employees are so positive & happy towards each other & the customers. Amazing WAHO experience! They are killing it!!“

“Our waitress (Natalie? I think?) is always the best! She listens to what you want, makes suggestions, and brings you exactly what you ordered! She works like a dog, too! Always helping others, clearing tables, or washing dishes. I'm sure she is not paid near her worth to Waffle House! And I pray I have her name right. I'm sure she could really use all the shout outs she can get!“

“Always enjoy stopping in for a fast breakfast or lunch and today was no different.The food is always spot on .. today the waitress was not!Sat at the counter and found her (couldn't read her name on the check) and when she put our sandwiches down, that was the last time we saw her! I wanted a second cup of coffee and had to ask a different waitress because ours was nowhere to be found!This experience will not stop us from eating at other Waffle Houses.“

“Wow. Definitely hit this one on a perfect night. Super clean, amazing service and the food was god-tier. Whomever was cooking on this particular Tuesday night absolutely crushed it. Our little group of 3 ate every last bite and raved about the meal the entire time. Phenomenal - great job Athens WH!“
