“Awesome food the staff was friendly food comes out hot“

“We have been to several First Watch restaurants and have received outstanding service. This one is just as good if not better. They were extremely busy but we still had excellent service. The Eggs Benedict was wonderful and my husband enjoyed his just as much. We always have to get a loaf of bread to take with us. It's outstanding toasted.“

“corned beef hash is yummy.“

“We have been coming for a long time! It has definitely been through its ups and downs. (The loss of the thin potatoes were devastating). But they recently got a new cook and holy cow it was a game changer. This has been the highest high the food has been in a long time. If you haven’t been in awhile now’s the time!“

“I came into the restaurant late at night to finish a homework assignment. Bianca took great care of me--allowed me to sit where I could plug my laptop, and kept my coffee cup full without bothering me too much! She was kind with a positive attitude even though she was juggling a number of tables. I will absolutely make this a regular study space--thanks Bianca!!“

“Went to waffle house a few nights ago maybe more and was shocked to see the cook being screamed at and crying . She is to skilled to be working there I believe her name is tomisia .she needs more restaurant worthy pants but she's third shift only one at waffle house with white teeth and skills to run the grill best tbone I ever had I watched her pay for a little boys food who mother brought him in saying she couldn't feed him just to get lectured by an employee that was leaving seemed to be high and not just on weed . I think her name was kacy some of the employees drink have bad teeth and are on heroin . If you're gonna go to this waffle house make sure you do it on first or third shift.. only problem is the blonde on third shift has a nasty attitude and an extremely horrible vocabulary nothing but c*** and b**** all night long she called different customers the b word or the cook the cword all night the cook and several customers asked her to stop and it just continued . Not a good look for waffle house . But over all first shift manager Doug first shift servers Taylor and Marissa and third shift cooks Larry and tomisia needs to be praised for what they do if not for them y'all wouldn't have no business.“

“Visited today for the first time and had a fantastic experience. Great service and atmosphere. We got the huevos divorciados and the Mexi Breakfast Tacos. Honestly the tacos were a very safe and vanilla choice and I regret it. It was fine, just not the flavor I was looking for. The huevos divorciados on the other hand…I wanted to lick the plate. So many incredible, traditionally and nontraditional breakfast items as well as cocktails, and a delectable selection of desserts brought in fresh from Chicago. Highly recommend!!! I know⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Todo deliciosos �� buen lugar para desayunar“

“Love this place. This particular one has the best food and service!“

“First time visiting for breakfast. Good, but not great. Husband got a Chorizo Skillet, I got Biscuit & Gravy Combo. Pretty sure the potatoes and gravy were purchased from a restaurant supply, not made on site. We spent almost $50 for 2 meals and 1 coffee (with tip for excellent service). We will try it again with different meal selections. Value? To be determined next time.“

“Enjoyed breakfast with my husband today. My tea was off, but not uncommon with differences in water. When I finished it, I realized my glass was full of dried food. My husband was upset that I didn’t say anything, but there were alot of people around and I’m not the type to say anything.“

“Classic IHOP!!
Service is a bit slow but more time to enjoy the food and the company you're with
Best place to walk back all the carbs you lost at the gym

Parking: The IHOP is close to the VASA gym so there are days that it's slightly more difficult to find parking but it's usually pretty empty“
