“Barbecue is actually not that bad. I mean, it’s not amazing, but it’s definitely not terrible. The sausage and brisket are pretty good for the price, and if you’re craving barbecue, it hits the spot. Not bad at all I highly recommend it.“

“Jason was truly amazing. He said he’s a newer server but I COULD NOT tell at all (Super attentive and friendly). Overall the food was excellent as always and this will definitely be bringing me back to this location. I will be coming to sit in Jason’s section every time i’m craving some chili’s.“

“The food here is always great, but today, on Christmas Eve, they went above and beyond! We realized last minute that we didn’t have enough meat for our family gathering. Even though they were closed and working a catering event, they answered the phone and absolutely saved the day. That kind of service is rare. Thank you, Ellis County BBQ! Merry Christmas🎄“

“I have been to literally hundreds of Waffke Houses. When i say this is a really good location. This one is great. Ive been to more waffle houses than I can even begin to comprehend. Drove all over town, everywhere was a long wait. Nobody was at the waffle house tho (i was skeptical) but let me tell you what. Top 5 waffle houses I've been in. Most likely the best in texas anyways. Good food, order was on point (i try to trip em up) great service, i think the lady working was Izzy? Yall seriously need to give her a raise, and this place was cleanest ive seen a waffle house. If your looking for a quick hot meal and this is on your way. GO!!!“

“Without a doubt one of the best places to eat. The lobster crab cakes were very good but the highlight of the meal were the steaks. I had the ribeye the wife had the fillet medallions. Perfectly cook and the flavors were delicious. Will be back.“

“Ate breakfast here this morning food was good, service was slow but the shocker was seeing a "food tax" fee on my bill. No signage at entrance displaying an announcement of this new "fee". Cashier couldn't explain what it was for, why not raise your prices instead of sneaking this onto people's bill? Seems dishonest to me....“

“I have always had great service and never had cold food or my order wrong.“

“Our waitress Erika was amazing. She checked on us often. When we go again we will ask for Erika.“

“Food was awesome and Jaeyden was very attentive and kept our drinks filled“

“The hostess at the door was rude..service was just ok ,but slow...the only saving grace is surprisingly the food was very good..almost turned around and left after the rude lady with an attitude before she sat us..And ordered a couple bottle beers barely drinkable..not where close to cold..“

“The customer service was great, food was very good and it has a very cozy/ relaxing atmosphere.“

“I’ve attended the Daiquiri station a few times and each time, you’re embraced with positivity, my fish has always been fried correctly and the drinks are always A1. But what’s caught my eye, were the activities that are held there. Friday they had a small group of people painting jamming for Jesus if I’m correct and that was awesome to see. People able to eat and embrace each other and they welcomed others to join.“

“While I have no visited this particular business …I surely never will now. You should never how to throw shade in order to progress but to each their own“

“Great food and excellent customer service.“

“The service and food was amazing! Laura, our waitress, helped me with suggestions for dinner and drinks and went up and above. She even brought my daughter some beads not knowing we were here for her birthday shopping. We will definitely be back and sitting in Laura's section again!“

“I'm not here to bash the business but to help this was my first time eating at this location today. customer service was great,they got my food out in great timing . But I would have to say I was disappointed in the food I don't know if the reason for if it was close to closing time..But I must say I had the 10 piece meal the food was Bland not a taste of seasoning. which also every piece of fish had that fatty taste to it which combined with the no seasoning made it not so great. my opinion I will give it a 4 out of 10.but like I said I'm not trying to bash them. I'm all for coming back and eating there hoping today was a bad day..“

“The food is delicious, the shakes are like old fashioned. tasty fries. And the chocolate cake is amazing“

“Hi. Vegetarian here. Server was sweet and attentive. I can’t speak too much about the food other than what I am able to eat from the menu. Cesar salad is pretty good and the fries. I ordered off the kid menu. They were accommodating and friendly.“

“Food was great , love the staff We will be back“

“Food is great! But if you want a to go order & try to call ahead- they will never answer the phone....if the phone even works.“

“First time stopping in while I’m in town for a dance competition and I’m so glad I did! I had the half chicken salad sandwich with a half garden salad and a chai latte😋Everything was fresh and delicious. It’s such a cute spot with plenty of room to sit and relax, and I loved hearing Christian music playing. If I’m ever back in the area, I’d definitely visit again!“

“The management team was great working with me and my party. There were 20+ people in our party and the staff did a great job meeting our needs on the day of my gathering in July 2025. The food was delicious, the music and vibe was on point. i visited this spot over a year ago and didn't have a good experience with food or service but my recent visit reflected a totally different experience as mentioned above. I will definitely visit again and hopefully its cooler so that we. an enjoy their patio area.“

“First time at this restaurant in Mansfield TX. Got us seated as promised give or take a min or two. Server had all the drinks filled and steaks cooked to order. This must sound like avg but I tell you that we have been displeased at many restaurants around our nation from the host, server to the cook or chef. This service was outstanding and our family was able to celebrate my son's graduation from his University without an issue! Thank you once again!“

“Great place to go with family and friends.“

“Came up for an early dinner, and everything was pretty awesome. The Tater Kegs were freaking awesome! Highly recommend those, maybe two orders lol Most of the fries were great. Sadly, mine were mostly overcooked and too hard but the French Dip sandwich was perfect as usual. Thanks for a nice family dinner!“

“The hostess at the door was rude..service was just ok ,but slow...the only saving grace is surprisingly the food was very good..almost turned around and left after the rude lady with an attitude before she sat us..And ordered a couple bottle beers barely drinkable..not where close to cold..“

“If I could give 10 starts I would I have been to this locations several times but tonight I was wowed by the amazing service I received!

We came in late but my server tonight was hands down the best I have had here.
Aidan was my server and we never had to ask for anything because he was so attentive to our table!

Thank you so much for such a lovely night!“

“Much better experience this time.“

“We arrived, and their was a live saxophone player performing. We generally go to Red Robin but wanted to try something local... We ordered their basic hamburger with pepper jack, and it is the best burger my husband and I have ever tried.
We're coming back tomorrow with my in-laws. They even have a vegan burger option which is always appreciated. Plus the service was friendly.“

“Entertaining and positive atmosphere“

“Excellent service and delicious food! Joshua, the chef, did an excellent job and made our first experience at Waffle House a pleasant one!“

“This place is a hidden gem, one of the best fried chicken restaurants I've ever tried and that's a lot!!!! To say !!! Hear me when I'm saying this. Not only the fried chicken is good but they have also a great menu, with many options! No other fried chicken restaurant can match all you get, for the price you pay. So if you are in the area and craving a good fried chicken, no you know!“

“I enjoyed breakfast at the new Waffle House in Cedar Hill today (June 28, 2026). This was my second visit, and I truly love the ambiance. The food is always good, and the cooks and waitstaff have such great attitudes, making every visit enjoyable.

I also want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Irene. She was working incredibly hard, taking names for table seating while also cleaning tables to keep everything running smoothly. Her dedication and friendly attitude did not go unnoticed. Great customer service all around! I'll definitely be back.“

“Love Drafts“

“This is our comfort brunch place. Been to this location many times. There's something about the chefs that work there because the food comes out 10/10 nearly every time. My favorites are their French toast, berry waffles, cinnamon pancakes, and we love their nachos! The rest of staff is great as well.

Also, I believe this location is no longer 24 hours? They close at either 9 or 10 pm (learned that the hard way). Just keep that in mind or call ahead to confirm what time they close that day.“

“My 1st lunch here, "spicy fish & shrimp basket" was off the chain, I will be back tomorrow.. & the next day😋“
