“I love Waffle House! Going to a Waffle House anywhere feels like going to the ones in my hometown. This one is just like the others. Misty kept my coffee flowing and didn't make fun of me for asking for 5 creamers for each cup. If Jeff is cooking, you can count on getting a perfectly prepared meal. I ordered the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Hashbrown Bowl. It was delicious! The beauty of eating at a Waffle House is the similarity to every other Waffle House. This location is highly recommended!“

“We are in Columbus for a softbtball tournament. We stopped in for breakfast on Saturday, 7/6/24, before heading to the Berliner Sports Complex. Jenni was out waitress and she was ABSOLUTELY amazing. By far the best waitress we have EVER had. Food was great, service was the best ever ♥️♥️“

“Understaffed, no supervision and a lack of proper training keep this potential hit spot way down. The singular cook actually cared but was not really trained and easily overwhelmed in spite of it being a slow night.

The solo waitress has similar issues and the place was needlessly cluttered from prior customers but could have been fixed in just a few minutes. Time she clearly had while we were there. In spite of this she eventually came around and made a decent effort.

I blame management based on what I observed. These two younger folks under good management and with solid, quality training could be really good at their jobs. They seem unguided and burned out. It would be nice if someone with the franchise read this and addressed it properly. With their potential, waffle house should try to keep them and develop them before they lose them.

Sad state of the times.“

“It is always nice to have a place to meet up with a long-time friend or friends. My friend and I recently had breakfast together at Waffle House. Our server was very friendly and checked on us often. We received our food exactly as we ordered it. Waffle House has a variety of food choices at affordable prices. The coffee is also a great choice.“

“Despite appearing as if they were maybe an employee short, the grill cooks were on their A-game. Our food was awesome.

Our waitress was a sweet young lady on the last few days of her pregnancy. Her service was very quick and friendly despite being as busy as she was. You'd think she was walking around with a backpack coffee dispenser, with as well as she kept everybody's cups warm on a Saturday morning.

Great location and staff, I'll be returning next time I come to Columbus.“

“Came in with a family of 4. There was 3 empty booths but all 3 had dirty dishes on them. There were 7 employees behind the counter. All seemed to be busy doing something but 7 people seemed like a lot of employees for there to be 3 dirty tables. After standing for about 3 min we just went to the bar and sat. Our waitress “Danny” (is what her name tag said) was in training so we were patient. She stayed busy the whole time and seemed to be a hard worker. She came to check on us twice. Food was good all but the bacon. It was cooked hard and had a burnt taste. I like my bacon medium. Eggs were cooked perfectly.

Update…… after I made this review the cook who was a white man (i couldn’t get his name) exchanged some words with another employee who was a black lady. It appears that she was raking plates off into the trash and he came to throw something away and invaded her space. She called him out on being rude and told him to have some manners. He told her this is not grandmas kitchen. She kept insisting that he have manners. And he kept saying things back. Finally another employee said that’s enough and they moved on. All this happed right in front of my kids.“

“If the greater Columbus area were to employ an official welcoming committee, I would recommend this specific Waffle House for the job. Spotlessly clean, excellent service, and delicious food; the team is a genuine pleasure to observe, friendly and efficient, attentive to every need. If you have read Bukowski's "Nirvana," you get the picture.“

“Keep in mind, I decided to go to Waffle House, and these are ratings are compared against other waffle houses, not First Watch. The food was decent, hash browns were a little dry, but all together it hit the spot for a quick lunch between errands.

Atmosphere for Colunbus Eastside/airport was actually quite pleasant, and the entire staff was courteous and fun. No fights broke out, and I left with a full belly, caffeine buzz, and all 4 tires intact on my car. I call that a good day😉“

“We were in town to check out the university and stopped in for a quick breakfast. It was busy but they were able turn over a table for us within minutes of the people leaving. The waiter was friendly and her service was great. The selection is limited but well made. The cooks shirt said "rock star grill operator". I would agree“
