“I worked for a start-up in 2016. We worked out of the back of Who Dat Cafe until we had an office space. The coffee and pastries were incredible. I think I lived on wedge salads and the French onion soup. The staff was so nice and accommodating to us. Sitting and chatting when the afternoons were slower. I’m gonna stop in this weekend for a mug. Who Dat Cafe will always be special to me.“

“Today is my son's 13th birthday and he's been a hothead/heat seeker for as long as I can remember. For perspective, he finally convinced Santa after 2 years to gift him the One Chip Challenge when he was 7. Today, his special request was to eat the hottest wings we could find, so my hubby found this place online last night. It's a short drive from Metairie, so although he wanted to do the Bayou Beast Challenge, we only had time to get a to-go order with all the other birthday errands we were running. We got a 6 piece of the Bayou Beast flavored wings. The gentleman checking us out was an absolute stand up guy who was equal parts concerned and impressed when he realized the order wasn't for me, but for the short kid standing next to me who told him he didn't want or need a dipping sauce. He even offered him a birthday coke (probably as a piece offering to the gods as an apology for what was going to transpire in my bathroom later🤣). Now to the fun part. I normally do these challenges with him, but today he wanted to fly solo. So I prepped the counter for him as usual with milk, yogurt, wipes etc. When I opened the box? YALL! The smell burned my eyes and instantly gave me PTSD from when I ate Da Bomb wing in the Hot Wings Challenge last year. My newly minted teenager the proceeded to smash all 6 in 5 minutes and did it like a pro without even a sip of water. I managed to get a single bite before they disappeared and I can guarantee you, the bathroom will be your sanctuary. I would not survive more than 2 as a grown adult. Maybe he's a glutton for punishment. Maybe he's a mutant. But what I do know is my dude is determined to beat that challenge and get that shirt and picture on the wall, so we'll be back very soon!“

“Great food and excellent service...wonderful, clean environment....“

“The food was absolutely great. We went two mornings in a row. Both days we had Kela. I’ve been in customer service 25yrs & management for 15. She was wonderful. She remembered our order, was so welcoming, professional & provided all around A+ service!! We will be back on our return visit.“

“The breakfast was on point! The people were both inviting and friendly. I've been to some very fancy places w high ticket items and still got better service and food here than most places I've been in the area. Super impressed. It was my first waffle house experience. We went for a brunch on the fly on my birthday weekend. When I tell you the $32 we spent here was well worth it, I'm not kidding. The food, service and atmosphere were better than the place we went for my bday dinner the next night that was over $130 bill. We actually joked considered leaving said fancy place to go to the waffle House instead. Love this location. 10/10 recommend.“

“Get service. Get prices .“
