Been a few years since I've been here. Just as great as I remember
Amazing food, great service and a fun atmosphere
It’s an average appearance as you come in, followed by a really poor personal interaction with the employee. We asked for suggestions while in town everywhere we stopped, and all of the suggestions were great, but this one was not on that list and now see why. We only stopped in here for the waffles and they were good but not good enough to suggest this establishment over the others in town. Revival & Babbs were awesome and highly recommended.
I wanted to love it here. The menu boasts of gluten free and vegan options, as a person with allergies, that was really appealing. We ordered our food, found the least sticky table we could find, and were brought the wrong order no less than three times. Eventually the order that most closely resembled our came. We had ordered a savory waffle, asked for no cheese (allergies), someone clearly didn’t read the ticket, scraped off the cheese then proceeded to flip over the waffle in the hopes that we wouldn’t see it. Overall, a disappointing experience, with dry, unexciting food that does not make up for the rest of the restaurant’s downfalls.
Ordered the loaded potato waffle dairy free, and they brought us someone else's order two times before finally bringing us the correct waffle. However, they considered flipping the cheese covered side to face the bottom of the plate dairy free. Do not recommend.
Had a great breakfast here today. Their monthly special raspberry lemon waffle was excellent. The lemon was in a nice and sweet loose (vegan) gelatin and the fresh raspberries went nicely with it. The woman got to my order in a timely manner despite there being a few patrons ahead of me. She was kind and had a good attitude. Was nice of them to allow me to bring my coffee in as well since I made some at home.
Yummy waffles, good location downtown. Awesome menu variety
Was super excited to come here and eat and left really disappointed. We did go on a Saturday and there was a good amount of people there but we waited over an HOUR to get one waffle each for my friend and I. I work in the food industry, a pastry chef, and I am just appalled at having to wait that long for a WAFFLE! A waffle doesn’t take an hour to make it takes literally 5 minutes tops. Not to mention when I received my waffle, I got the fat Albert, the bananas were super thin and only 4 pieces, like 1/4 of an inch all together. My friend had to wait an additional 10 minutes just to receive her waffle as well. So what you are getting is an hour wait time for a single waffle that comes drizzled with a sauce and topped with zero bananas. All of which should be prepped ahead of time so it doesn’t take that long to wait for a waffle you easily could’ve made at home. Won’t be eating here again.
Ordered two waffles. Took one hour to get them. Would not recommend as workers have little to no sense of urgency.
I never usually write reviews but I don’t want this to happen to another guest at this establishment. We had a male server with a red bandana and long brown hair today and our food took a very long time which is usually okay but when the food arrived it wasn’t what we ordered it was a waffle flight not a latte flight which wasn’t a huge deal at all and we politely asked for what we ordered. He sighed extra loud and grabbed the plate of food and we heard him immediately toss it and start banging stuff around in the back it seemed like he was so angry and it was honestly scary it was just us two girls and one girl by herself and she looked over at us confused and concerned. My friend is pregnant & it made us super nervous because we were the only people in there and only women. He ended up bringing us what we ordered and said he hoped we would enjoy it. We left as soon as we could.

It was OK. We showed up, there was no line and the place was about 3/4ths full. We placed our order, left a tip, and waited an hour for our food. However, there were no clean forks. We asked, an employee said they would bring us some. 15 minutes go by, no forks. We decided to iust eat with knives. $20 for a waffle and a coffee, no utensils, and bus your own dishes. Absolute gimmick
I door dashed this morning and omg it was amazing. Best waffles I have ever had.
Stopped in for a great breakfast based on what some friends told me. This place was very good. The food was quite good. The place is large open and clean. The service was a very good considering there was only one person to help us.
We stopped for breakfast there were five of us total. We had a large variety of items. The flight waffle, naughty waffle, The fat Andrew, a s'mores waffle, the Dakota luau, a one bad pig. Plus we got coffees drinks and a flight of drinks.
Everything was made exactly as we ordered. Everything was quite delicious. The coffees were good as well. This was quite impressive to me considering there was one young gal running the entire place. It did take us a little while to get our food but considering there was only one server I was not surprised.
I overall recommend this location as long as you have time to wait. Everything was exceptionally good in spite of the fact there was only one server.
This place has become one of my favorite spots in the past year when I travel for business !They have done so much to expand with live music, open mic and more! I love the quiet atmosphere, quick service and cute and friendly staff! All for such a great price! I stop by anytime I'm in Fargo and reccomend you do the same.
Waffle was fine, however, the coffee was absolutely disgusting. The beans tasted burnt in my drink and those of my friends. We asked if there was anything the staff could do and the staff seemed completely clueless as to their customer service policies and what to do in this situation.
