Update: We still love coming here, many years later!“

“Excellent customer service. Waitress interacted with our group. Best I’ve seen in a very long time. The food was very delicious (as always). Definitely needs to be recognized as a five star Waffle House ❤️🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fantastic food and service. I initially went in to try the gumbo however everything looked so appetizing and I opted for other food.
We started with the shrimp dip and it was fantastic. Then I got the combo platter. It was way too much food and I had to take it to go. But everything was amazing. Can't wait to try more soon.“

“This Waffle House was the best OF the best. Everyone who works there greets you with friendly smiles. My server Yani was on point taking my order but the chef sent my plate that looked as beautiful as a PERFECT breakfast should taste. The place was extremely clean. The manager runs a top tier restaurant. Thank you to this AMAZING WAFFLE HOUSE. 💞“

“We dropped in for lunch Saturday 1/27/2024 our waitress was Hannah. We were greeted with a smile. Hannah took our drink order and returned quickly with our drinks. We placed our order and Hannah repeated it back making suggestions along the way. Hannah returned shortly with pipping hot rolls and cinnamon butter. Hannah checked back on us several times while food was being prepared. The food came and was prepared perfectly. I ordered the large Prime Rib (rare). The Prime Rib was prepared perfectly. The wife had Chicken Fried Sirloin which came out perfectly. The was brought out by a different server and in a moment Hannah came back to check on us. We had so much food we could not come close to eating it all. Hannah provided us with to go containers and small containers for the sides. Hannah by far was the best waitress that has ever served us. We will definitely be back and request Hannah for our waitress.“

“Was given a raw $100 thanksgiving turkey that they made us wait over an hour for even though it was ordered a week in advance. Turkey was dry and soggy after having to finish cooking it. Complete waste of money, definitely cook your own turkey!“

“Ambiente muy lindo para toda la familia y la comida exquisita“

“I go here a few times a week. Their rewards program has helped me out during hard times. Sometimes the orders are missing small things like the butter or more than one syrup (I usually order short or full stack 3 to 5 pancakes). I feel like 2 syrup for short stack and 4 for full stack to be not dry and absorb the syrup and not be overly mushy. About the same for butter (every other pancake). I rated 4 out of 5 on service because sometimes I have a long wait for to go orders. Today I had no wait there. Which was amazing. That cashier is always on point. Occasionally they do offer a coffee for the wait. Which is appreciated. Atmosphere 4 out of 5 because I feel like they should use the garden beds for scenery like pretty flowers or statues. And maybe decor that would give someone reason to start a conversation about it. Give them something to look at while eating.
I normally don't eat in, I sit under the tree in the back parking lot.
They never mess the food order up which is better than 90% of food places which is awesome. The food is always good, they've only not cooked my pancakes right once out of like 20+ times. My pancakes were flat because the pancake iron was hot . They taught me something new. I didn't know that is why they weren't fluffy.
There were workers there who were bullying me as a homeless customer if I say my bag down outside although they seen me coming in to eat a few times a week .
I feel safer ordering food from there now because I don't think they work there anymore. The rest of the employees have treated me with the same respect as any other customer which is appreciated and honesty it's just basic humanity or common courtesy.
I appreciate y'all and your rewards program because it has kept me from starving or just being hungry in general. You're appreciated.“
