Waffle House

Friday night November 13. 2015:
After a great night out with friends we decided to cap the evening with a meal at (what used to be) our favorite little after hours grub-​hub, Waffle House # 206 at Cooper St and Arkansas in Arlington.
The restaurant was not crowded on this now early Saturday morning and we were able to find a seat as soon as we walked in. The server was reasonably quick to arrive to take our order and took my friends orders first. After getting the order from my GF and myself we were served our drinks and conversed while waiting.
My friends orders arrived quickly and they began to enjoy their food.
My GF and I waited patiently and got drink refills while waiting for our food, which all orders were pretty similar. My friends and I each ordered the steak and eggs breakfast and my GF ordered sausage and eggs.
My friends were nearly finished with their meal before we were finally served ours. I noticed the steak was not at the table yet and assumed it would be following very soon. I noticed my hashbrowns were not to my order, missing mushrooms, but said nothing at that time. By now my friends were presented their check and I still had not gotten my steak for my meal. They noticed their bill was about $ 40.00 and were questioning the server about the charges for 2 steak and egg meals and 2 teas. I mentioned I was nearly finished with my meal and still had not seen my steak. I also mentioned the missing mushrooms and asked them to ensure they were not on my check. At this point the server left and another server came to the table asking what was the issue. As we were explaining things, She got rude and the tone quickly escalated to an argument and the server became more agitated. That is when she threatened to call the police on us all and accused us of not paying what we owed, which was not the case as we were all still seated and simply asking about the long list of individual charges on the bills along with food we did not receive. My friends and I decided it was no longer worth the time to continue this and we simply all paid our bills as shown since it was now obvious that we were not getting anywhere trying to reason with the staff. As we were exiting the server met us outside and continued to argue and called the police from her cell. We gave our statements to the officers and afterward we were met outside by one of the cooks who apologized to us for the entire issue.
Needless to say, we will no longer go to Waffle House if this is the way they decide to settle a question about a check.

Me and my family generally end up here after a late night movie. The people are very friendly and the food is perfect for a late night meal. Sometimes though, the waffles are served broken and look bad. But still, the yummy syrup makes up for it.

Stopped in for a quick mothers day breakfast. The service and food were great. This has always been my wifes favorite breakfast place.

I have eaten at multiple WHs in DFW area with same results: Good food but horrible service. Walked out of this location for last time today. Will not frequent any WHs any more.

Not the best Waffle House experience that I’ve had but probably the most comicable. I steped in because I was in the mood for a waffle while I wait for my phone to be repaired and boy was I in for a treat. I understand this is a waffle house so my expectations aren’t high going in. However… When I hear the type of profanity I heard being spread around by the crew, while kids are around, I was a bit surprised. I can understand (a bit) if this was the late night crew but were talking about 3 o’clock in the day… Totally unacceptable.
I never saw a manager present…

Worst experience so far in Texas (just moved from Mt). Sat and waited for 15 minutes and Noone even came and took out order. wasn’t even busy.

I’m not a big fan of waffles. But the only thing that I come to waffles house for is to have their hash browns all the way. Those are pretty good to me with all their ingredients.
This particular waffles house usually has nice people working there. It’s nice to go in there

I like Waffle House in general. This location was meh. My waffle was burnt (I mean if you can’t do a waffle right at waffle house, what’s the point amirite?) My friend ordered a chocolate chip waffle, and hers took longer than mine. I thought it was because they cook the chocolate chips with the batter, but no. The chocolate chips were just sprinkled on top, though. She said it was still good. It wasn’t burnt so it was probably better than mine.
The service was very friendly! The woman forgot our coffee for a while, but everything else was good. This is the only thing keeping this review from a one.
My friend and I were stared at by fellow patrons for a good while after we walked in. This made me uncomfortable.
Luckily I was only in Arlington to see friends, so I probably won’t return.

I really want to love Waffle House. I like the idea: it’s open, it’s warm and inviting. You get your comfort food in a laid-​back place for a low price. What’s better than that?
The good:
I’ve had good experiences at this particular Waffle House. I’ve received exceptional service, and I’ve met some really nice people. My wife and I visit whenever we have our cars serviced at nearby Chambers Automotive.
One visit a few months back stands out: it was fairly cold (winter!) and we amble in. The waitress greets us warmly, we were seated, and I was pretty much immediately given a cup of coffee. I love coffee. We looked over the menus, and I asked my wife — who isn’t a native English speaker — to practice her English and order.
It, uh, kind of worked: we had a slight miscommunication on the order and ended up getting more food than we bargained for at a higher price than we had budgeted. My wife was upset, and — this is the stand-​out part — our server went *absolutely* out of her way to fix the situation and, more importantly, make my wife feel comfortable. She was just awesome, and I wish I remembered her name so that I could give her a shout-​out here. She took a really kind, human approach to the mix-​up and turned everything around for us.
The bad:
I actually visited this morning. Again, I was looking for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat while my car was having a routine oil change. A lot of the other reviews here have pointed out that your experience at Waffle House really depends on when you go in. I have to agree with that. Today, my server seemed as if she was single-​handedly taking care of me and the rest of the restaurant, while one other worker cooked frantically and looked for back-​up. That wasn’t a big deal; everyone has staffing problems now and then. I just kind of drank my coffee and worked on a few things.
Then… well, I saw the cockroach. It was a small one, a baby, but it had invaded the sovereign territory of my coffee cup. That space is sacred. I waited until it moved to the wall and then stomped it. And, you know, that was fine: worse things have happened in the history of the world than a cockroach. I happily started to dig into my hash browns when I noticed the hair.
I… no, Waffle House. No. Not one right after the other. My wife would have freaked, and I’m happy she wasn’t present. While, yes, it is possible that the cockroach was a once-​in-​a-​lifetime thing and that the hair was mine, lost valiantly in my fight with the cockroach, that just isn’t all that probable. The hair was way deep in the hash browns.
I don’t want to guess at what happened, and I don’t want this review to be base conjecture. There was a cockroach, and there was a hair. Neither made my food taste better.
I want to love Waffle House. I do. Meet me halfway, guys?

Especially good this day! Hot breakfast fast to the table at a great price. The grits were excellent!
I love a good Waffle House!

Oh Waffle House… most civilians have probably been inside one of your thousand locations more than once, and there’s a reason for that. You’re consistent! Quick service, hot food and coffee, full plates, random flavored jelly for your toast, and the faint smell of cigarette smoke mixed in with that sweet maple scent.
When you’re out and about anytime after 11pm and feeling serious hunger, your restaurant options become seriously limited… unless you’re looking for 24 hour fast-​fried-​food. But when you’re up late driving in the dark, you often crave something more akin to an ordinary home cooked meal, and that’s where Waffle House grants your wish.
Some Waffle Houses are often described as «scary», but I’d say this particular location is only faintly shoddy depending what time you stroll in. You never know whose going to be sitting at the counter at 2:30 am. A totally creepy vagabond is just as likely to visit as some adorable couple who yearned for waffles after a night of dancing. I don’t know. I’ve never felt uncomfortable here, just the opposite. It’s so nice to get your diner fix and order hot hash-​browns; smothered, covered, diced, and capped!

I’ve eaten at waffle house since I moved to America and it’s been a part of my life in the south. The usually warm personalities of the staff has been their trademark. This is not the case at this one.
I can understand that having a new wait staff yields hiccups in service, but the manager had to do everyone’s job including the cook’s. I thought it’d be common sense working as a server you’d want to make sure the customer is taken care of, but even the customer next to me was ignored.
The cook was really unprofessional and Even hostile to the other employees; this is the most unusual waffle house I’ve ever been to.
The food on the other hand — was just as expected. Good. I’m just glad they didn’t screw up my order like they did to the old man next to me who just wanted a BLT.

Went there for Mother’s Day. Waited for 30 minutes, which I really did not mind. After we were seated in a booth, waited another 15 minutes, our waitress was fairly busy. We never got any drinks, menus, nothing. My husband asked the cook (who was just standing there doing nothing, if he would please take our order or get us something to drink. The cook said he was not allowed to do that, so we just got up and went to Razzoos Cajun Café, where I had a superb Mother’s Day feast! No more waffle house! I am so done with them!

Not my favorite waffle house but its central so its usually the most convenient. They have alot of turnover so you get new servers every time you go. Make sure you are clear when you order so you don’t have to send anything back.

I like this place because you can roll out of bed and go dressed in whatever attire you feel like, and you won’t feel under dressed: work clothes, gardening clothes, hell, even PJ’s. Nobody would care. They’re all very laid back. Excellent waffles, of course, and decent coffee with as many quick refills as you want. D likes the eggs. My favorite thing to get here is the Country Ham. I don’t even really like ham, but this? This I loooove. I can’t think of any other slice of ham that I like better. It almost has a bacon taste. Deeeeelicioussssss.

They changed cooks and the food got better.
also looks like the got some new wait staff and the service is a little better.

The first time I ate here it was excellent, but yesterday, no. Omelette was OK but too much cheese and not enough tomato and other stuff that was supposed to be in it. And very small. I like a huge omelette packed with all kinds of goodies. The grits were awful. Little chunks in them and not tasty. Not feeling satisfied, I ordered some hash browns, which were good. A relatively minor quibble: the menu doesn’t give you enough information, e.g. what is included with omelettes. Finally (and this may sound mean), my waitress was so ugly it affected my appetite.
