“First Watch without a doubt is never a disappointment when it comes to food, but at the Crestview hills, Ky, 41071 location, the server went above and beyond to make sure my meal was perfect. Had the shrimp & grits that were excellent. Also because I was feeling very hungry had the million dollar potatoes, 2 eggs over medium, a plate of bacon, and a lavender lemonade for a drink. Troy if you are reading this, you are an amazing server and definitely have the gift of being a people person. Thank you for taking care of me after my long shift at work.“

“The food, atmosphere, service, and ambience at Mt Lookout were top notch! The HOE‘s team members, Julie, Mitch, Bri, and Murph, were extremely hospitable and friendly. We were seated and served in less than 30 minutes. I recommend the Fried green tomato BELT sandwich with sweet tots (with the maple aoli), or the Chorizo Burger. The grill chefs cooked them to perfection. Then pair these tasty sandwiches with a Murphy special, a pomegranate - mango martini or a cold beer! It’s a match made in heaven. We‘re definitely going back soon.“

“Best Waffle House around.“

“Today, 11.02.2021, a friend and l were in search of good breakfast food. Before dropping her off, we stopped at the Waffle House on Delhi Pike. The employees at this establishment were some of the warmest and friendliest group of people l have met since COVID. Fast service, our waiter Dante explained how we were able to mix and match the breakfast we had chosen. With the turn of our head, our meals were before us. The grits were freshly made, the toast was to a perfection with butter melted, everything about the meals were on point. The staff keep the restaurant clean. On their idle time they were cleaning the grill and washing down the floor, no one was standing around on their phones. I give the Waffle House ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Service was super fast, and the food was amazing!“

“I was just here yesterday with my two kids, you have the friendliest staff out there! Food was great, service was amazing! Thank you!“

“Went to get brunch today, the cashier , Shay , was extremely polite, helpful, and suggestive in meal pairings. In today's culture of bad customer service, Shay was / is the example of what great, not good,GREAT customer service is supposed to be like. when you visit Maple Street Biscuit Company on HoustonRd,...i hope you get the chance to be greeted/ served by Shay !!“

“The food was good as always. My complaint is that it was a very cold and windy day. When I checked in, I asked for a table that would be warm. When seated, my group was placed by the large front windows and near the door. That meant that every time the front door opened, a cold breeze blew to our table. You also lose a lot of radiant heat by large windows. It was not busy that day and we could have easily been sat at a table in the back of the restaurant. I was with a group and did not want to make a fuss, but my request was totally ignored.“

“Love Waffle House!!! I am a worker and I love my job!!“

“Been a regular customer here for three years. Went today with my daughters for a mommy daughters date. One of the servers Jimmy has always shown kindness to us. He decided to pay for our meal. This made our day so special. This is why i love this waffle house. Can’t wait for next time. Thank you Jimmy ❤️“

“Only issue I have with Waffle House is it's a little too expensive. The food is good but we got biscuits and gravy, steak n hash browns, & a waffle with cho chips. Oh of course 2 pops & a coffee and it was $57 to feed 3 ppl. I mean that's a bit ridiculous & 1 of the 3 ppl is only 7 yrs old. Can't really blame the restaurant tho, the cost of everything is gone up & I'm sure they're feeling the burn too & passing it down to customers.“
