Waffle House

Not too often I get to a Waffle House as they don’t have in the northeast. Just stopped in on way back from DC. They just nailed it! Eggs PERFECT, waffle PERFECT, coffee PERFECT, hash browns PERFECT… You get the idea. Boom I’m out!

If there’s one thing I realized by this point in my life, it’s that I don’t go to Waffle House enough. It’s inexpensive and open ²⁴⁄₇. What more do you want when you’re traveling home late at night? I wish there was one closer to home though.
Anyway, tonight I decided to try the Edgewood Waffle House. The funny thing I noticed about Waffle House is no matter how big the plot of land it sits on, it’s always the same small narrow-​rectangle building. I have to wonder if somewhere out there, there’s a Waffle House on a 100-​acre lot, where you have to travel a mile up a driveway to the same small building. To put things plainly, there weren’t really many tables in the dining area at this Waffle House, although on Sunday night, the crowd was light enough that it wasn’t a problem.
Service was actually surprisingly good. The server was polite and prompt, and knew how to describe the scale of the hash browns we were about to order. I had my hash browns all the way and it was everything I hoped for — a veritable food pile! Certainly, it was a lot more filling than some platters costing two or three times that I’ve had at other restaurants.
In summary, I definitely would return to this Waffle House. Not only was it more than adequate for dinner, it’s also very conveniently close to an I-​95 exit. The only thing I didn’t see tonight was a fight in the parking lot, so I guess I missed out there.

Had a great experience this morning! We were seated quickly. A high chair was brought immediately to my nephew. Our server Ashley was super sweet, kind and very thoughtful. She brought my 2 ½ year old’s nephew’s food immediately, put our hot coffee out of his reach. She came to check on us often. Food was stellar as usual. Thanks Ashley!

Hash browns all the way with no gravy on are magical. Anytime I stop by Waffle House is because I need those in my life!

Wish we had Waffle Houses in the city. Since we don’t, we made the drive out to this location to get our fix. This is your standard, no frills location. The staff is extremely friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in. Our server was great — got our order correct — and had us in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Love love their waffles. I usually don’t get waffles when I go out for breakfast, but hard to pass them up here. They are light and not overly filling and perfectly cooked. Also a big fan of their hash browns smothered and covered! Will be back.

Fast inexpensive and tasty. Super pleasant workers both behind the grill and waiting on the tables. Great grits and perfectly cooked eggs. Simple food done well.

The food is awesome. I had to stop in before I headed back to Philly. You can’t beat the prices or taste.

My First Waffle House experience and it did not disappoint.
In full disclosure, 2 of these stars are for the fight I witnessed in the parking lot. I don’t condone violence but I feel this was part of the experience.
Like many others, this was a stop on the way home from Baltimore.
We waited less than 5 minutes to be seated! The menu is straight forward and CHEAP. I mean like 1950s cheap!!! Moreover, the menu is 95% carbohydrates which is a dream for ratio me. I ordered OJ, a SWEET CREAM waffle, and a side of bacon.
Food came out in about 7 minutes. The waffle was amazing, it was sweet and I loved the texture. They provide pads of margarine and there are bottles of syrup on the table. I may smuggle in some kerrygold butter next time to take it up a notch… why not! I didn’t love the bacon, flavorless and too crisp for my liking. Going forward, I will not order form the 5% portion of the menu. I will order carbs with a side of carbs so possibly a SWEET CREAM waffle with a side of grits or a SWEET CREAM waffle with a side of hash browns if I’m feeling the vibe.
I will definitely be back, to bet on a fight and to eat CARBS!!!

This waffle house is great! We stopped here on our way back to New York from Washington DC and had the all star special & it was delicious. Tasty food at a great price and the service was good as well. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Never a dull moment at the waffle house, Im positive this is not my first time at this location. I tend to not expect much the food is very inexpensive yet very good and the set up is very open. I get the same thing every time, «all star special» ! The best value for the money. This time it was very busy, standing room only but within 10 minutes we were seated and served. You have to get use to the kitchen being right next to the tables and being able to hear all the conversations and joking from the staff. My initial thought was they are doing more socializing than working but then I was just glad that they were having a great time doing their jobs. With the speed at which our food was delivered it was OBVIOUS they were doing more working that chatting. Our server was Brit and she was awesome. She saw the table of four road tripping girls, immediately offered to split the checks and took care of everything. I appreciate her efficiency and effort to give us good service yet keep it moving. I will without question return.

I love the waffle house. This one is small but the food was still good. Lots of staff yelling at one another here though, and a very small counter. Food order was correct and served quickly, and my drink refilled promptly.

Waffle House is a great place… it’s a happy place… it’s a salty yummy place. Food is always consistent – you always know what you are going to get. I love coming to this and every Waffle House.

Me oh my, Waffle House is my kind of place. I have several friends that swear by it, and I decided it was finally time to try it. Two friends and I stopped by this location just north of Baltimore on the way home from a weekend in Annapolis. It was Sunday afternoon, so we had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated during what I’m guessing is the busiest time of the week.
While we were waiting, I got a bit worried about how hectic it was. There were at least a dozen employees behind the counter, but they totally make it work. I was impressed with how systematic everyone was; we were served within 10 minutes of ordering, and everything was prepared as we had requested.
The setup was pretty interesting. The cooking stations are in the center, with a bar immediately surrounding it, and several tables bordering the outside of the restaurant. As if you aren’t hungry enough, you get to watch (and smell) the food being cooked. It’s like a hibachi for the blue collar breakfast lover.
Overall, it’s a great place to grab a quick (and cheap) breakfast. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and it makes for a very enjoyable meal. The setup keeps the customer-​waitress interaction very easy and convenient, in case you should need anything else for your meal (sugar, creamer, ketchup, etc). I hope all the other Waffle House locations are as great as this one!
Fun Fact: iPhone autocorrects waffle house to Waffle House. As it should.

My food was made with love by Stephanie and I had the best server named Yolanda, she was funny, attentive and friendly. She was the first one to greet me when I walked in. It is worth the 20 minute drive.

So me and my man is on our way to NY for the Labor Day festival. We decided before we left our house in MD that we were stopping at a Waffle House for breakfast on our way up and I’m glad we stopped at this one. We got there we had to wait about 10mins before we were seated but the host was great and very happy. Once we were seated our food was ordered and served within 10mins. They had a lot of help and very well staffed for a holiday. We are stopping on our way home!

Went back Tuesday around 2:00pm. My son and I noticed that it wasn’t that many cars in the parking lot so we chose to stop in. We walked in and waited awhile before we were even greeted. We were told to sit anywhere and could not find ONE clean table! There were only 3 tables full, the rest were just dirty. We seen a staff that we had never seen before. We walked towards the windows and a waitress was cleaning a table and remarks with a big sigh that she’s trying to «get outta there» to another waitress right in front of my son and I. In disbelief, we walked right out of the restaurant. We do not want to eat anywhere that doesn’t even welcome us. Sad and disappointed.

One of the last waffle houses before Pa. Just giving everyone a heads up here in the tri-​state area. If you really have that crazy for Covered and Smothered, this is how far you have to travel.

Again — I’ll side with those that are confused with all the glowing remarks. I wouldn’t normally waste a Unilocal review on a place like this but WOW… just wow. I nearly barfed through the entire meal.
We ate at the counter at around 10am on a Sunday, and it was busy, the place was a wreck — and very crowded. Our food came quickly; I had an omelette, with cheese and ham. The cheese tasted like something out of a can, and there were a scant few ham chunks tossed in, nothing like the picture on the menu. The eggs were whipped into a foam like texture — kind of foam rubbery, not very appealing.
But get this, as we dined, a man was pouring 5 gallon buckets of steaming hot water all over the kitchen floor — he must have poured 2 or 3 at a time — floating all the nasty bits that fell to the kitchen floor, meanwhile the people working there, feet soaking in this slop, up to their pants, soaking their pant legs — it was disgusting, he was squeegeeing this muck all over the place. He must have done it 2 or 3 times — the entire time we were there the kitchen was a dirty disgusting lake of floating debris, with the employees slogging around in it up to their ankles… seemingly oblivious to the entire process.
Man clean the floors when you are not busy… before or after hours — 10am on a Sunday morning — was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in a restaurant.

My first experience EVER at a Waffle House. WOW.
For a small place, they get the job done! We walked in and everyone behind the counter (between 8 and 10, not sure since they kept moving around) said hello. Friday morning at 10:30 and we got the only two open spots at the counter. They had some interesting looking things on the menu, but we both went with the biscuits and sausage gray, adding hashbrowns after spying the «Casa de Waffle» salsa in the condiment tray.
This is one well-​oiled operation. Everyone behind the counter has a job and they seem to do it well. One is making waffles, three guys are at the grill (one on hashbrowns, one on eggs, one on sausage and bacon). Another employee was in charge of the toast. Two taking the orders and one washing dishes. WHEW!
We pretty much had our food before I could take in all the scenery. There was a jukebox playing music a bit louder than my usual preference but hey, I was at The Waffle House! When a disc came on that was apparently defective, the young guy managing the door was told to unplug it. Hmmm, after that… I kinda missed it.
I actually couldn’t finish all my breakfast, it was a lot of food. And cheap!
Interestingly enough, when we left, they were still packed. And as we left the parking lot, we noticed the Denny’s across the street had two cars in it. Me thinks the Waffle House rules in this town!

Five stars for a little diner place? Definitely! The food and the service is always great, at every Waffle House in every state where I have dined there. The hashbrowns are great, I love them covered in cheese with diced tomatoes, mushrooms and chili. The waffle is awesome, it has a malty flavor to it that I haven’t experienced elsewhere. This place is also ridiculously cheap. It would be hard to break $ 10 if you are dining alone. Great food and fast friendly service sums up the whole experience. We will return again and again.
