Went here recently after a workout class and enjoyed myself! I really enjoyed the fish I got, which was blueberry cheesecake waffles with a side of bacon. It was pretty crowded in here, but it was a Sunday, so that's to be expected. Despite that, I didn't feel like we had to wait very long for anything. Any time we had was welcomed to catch up! We were seated immediately. It's a cute, comfy place that isn't too expensive. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in the area. read more

Chicago Waffles - Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Never again. I wanted to love this place, but alas the food is medium and the service is aggressively bad. Do your self a favor and avoid. The Pancake House is a block away. Less than a mile away is PQM and Breakfast Club in opposite directions. I brought my wife and young daughter there. We were placed at the heart of the restaurant. I earnestly feel that the staff was playing a game of who can bump the chair the most. If it were one, two, or even five times I would chalk it up to servers hustling to get people their food. But it didn't stop at 5. After we hit 10 times that a server had run into my chair, I literally had to move furniture behind it. And this was after I had put my backpack on the back of a chair so there was no way that it was them. Simply not seeing me. I will never again go back to this location of waffles so long as I live. Quite frankly, do yourself the service joining me. read more

Great breakfast options and a full bar. Pancakes, bacon, eggs and potatoes were spot on! A very cute diner feel. Exceptional service - friendly and responsive. Frequent coffee refills. I will be back again and again! read more

Had such a great brunch at Chicago Waffles. The staff was amazing and so friendly. We got the Fiesta Avo Toast, Mediterranean Shakshuka, Fresh Garden Skillet, Casa Chilaquiles, Dubai Chocolate Crepes, Waffle Flight, and Pancakes. Everything was really good. My favorites were the Chilaquiles, the Skillet, the Avocado Toast, and the Waffle Flight. The chocolate one was especially good. There are a few locations around the city and it's such a great spot for brunch. Definitely recommend. read more

I was very excited to try this place for brunch with friends, but overall it did not meet my expectations. Good: service was prompt, they were always checking on our glasses of water and coffee. They were never left empty. And the coffee was delicious. Not good: my matcha waffle was deceiving to say the least. It didn't taste like matcha at all. It just tasted like plain waffle batter... What was more disappointing was the overwhelming, off-putting artificial green color. It was more like Green Lantern 's green, and it's everything Matcha is NOT. It's an insult to matcha lovers. I would have enjoyed a plain waffle. They also charge a 3% credit card fee, and the server would not give us separate checks. Overall it was not worth the wait. read more

I loveeee their homemade vanilla whipped cream + their chilaquiles! Get half red sauce and half green sauce! Also, they just opened a new location in Lincoln Square that's so cute with plenty of outdoor dining. The vegan burrito is a great addition to the menu (featuring just egg and soy chorizo!) The server recommended their matcha (raspberry and lavender) and both of them were delicious! read more

We arrived at 12:05p and had a 10 minute wait for a party of 6. We were sat quickly and the server arrived promptly to take our drink & food order. Sadly after getting our drinks and food orders in, we didn't see our server for quite some time after. Other servers brought the drinks and then our server randomly brought us a bottle of prosecco on the house. About 40 minutes went by after placing the order and we began to question where our food was. The food came out at 1:20p and here's an overview of the items we had. Lemon blueberry Waffle - was a 7/10 the blueberry cream cheese topping was light and fluffy, along with the whipped cinnamon cream. The waffle itself was a bit dry and didn't have much flavor. The breakfast tacos - were a 6/10 they were very filling but didn't come with the cilantro and were a bit thrown together The espresso martini was a 7.5/10 it was a on the creamy side, a good pour and not overly bitter. The mango martini was a 7/10 it was well mixed and not overly sweet. The breakfast sampler was a 5/10 the toast and bacon were overly burnt. read more

Very nice and clean. There were just a few people which surprised me because it's was lunch time. I was greeted right away with a menu and water. The waitress came with a menu. I decided to ordered after looking at their menu online. I ordered the "flight" and it was good accept the green waffle, it was tasteless. Even though it took longer that usual time wise it was worth it. I would definitely go back and try something new. read more

Yummmm is all I have to say! I went in on a Saturday morning and made a reservation on Yelp, but it wasn't necessary. I saw many parties come in and get seated within 5-10 minutes. However, that's not to say that a reservation could be helpful, since you can't predict how busy they'd be. The service was great. We were given waters and what we wanted to drink within minutes of seating. I had the berry smoothie which tasted sweet and fresh. The food was definitely the star of the show. The steak and eggs were DELICIOUS and my steak was cooked perfectly medium. They even had some cute instagram-able spots to sit and capture photos. I can't wait to come back! read more

We have been here before and had a good meal. We went again the other day and had a different experience! The service was very slow. It was a Saturday morning and the staff apologized and thanked us for our patience, so that wasn't a big issue. All of the food was very good except for my waffles. With the restaurant name, Waffles, that is sort of a disappointment! My waffles had very little flavor so the toppings helped but the texture was the issue. My waffles were very tough and hard to cut, definitely no soft and fluffy like they should be. read more

I want to give a huge shoutout to Erica, the restaurant manager at Waffles in the West Loop. In a world where great customer service can sometimes feel rare, she reminded me that it still truly exists. This morning, I left the house without eating anything I was starving and running on empty. I was on a serious time crunch and needed to be at work in just 20 minutes, but I still wanted to grab something real to eat. When I called Waffles, I mentioned my situation, and Erica immediately stepped in with such care and professionalism. She didn't just take my order; she made sure I was taken care of from start to finish. She coordinated with the kitchen, checked in to make sure everything was moving quickly, and somehow managed to get me my food in record time all while keeping that warm, genuine smile. And the food, My veggie skillet with fresh fruit was absolutely delicious exactly what my body needed. You could taste the freshness and the love that went into it. Erica truly went above and beyond for me that morning. She probably doesn't even realize how much she helped me out not just by getting me fed and out the door on time, but by starting my day with kindness and compassion. It's moments like that which really stick with you. Thank you, Erica, for your amazing service and for reminding me that there are still people who care deeply about what they do and the customers they serve. Waffles in the West Loop is lucky to have you read more

Good little reliable brunch spot! Definitely recommend coming earlier on the weekends or making a reservation as just gets packed around 11/12. They have a lot of options on the menu for everyone. The menu is a little bit more pricey, being in west loop and all and the food didn't stand out amazingly but overall a solid pick for brunch read more

GET IN MY MOUTH! This place is INCREDIBLE! The menu is varied and creative-a crowd pleaser for all guests. Although busy during our visit, the service was top notch! Not a coffee cup left even half empty during our time there. The waffles, pancakes, bacon, omg it was off the charts good! I can't wait to go back! read more

I can't speak to the service or ambiance because we ordered takeout through Uber eats (which was delayed). As for the food, we got the red velvet pancakes and the meat lovers skillet. For the red velvet pancakes, I got it without the candied walnuts. I prefer things to not have too many competing tastes, so I personally thought the vanilla frosting and chocolate drizzle were too much. But my boyfriend thought it was really good. As for the meat lovers skillet, my boyfriend said it was good. The favor was good, but he said it was a little heavy on the oil. We have ordered a lot of takeout skillets and this seems to be a recurrent theme across breakfast places. read more

We were so excited to try this place today but won't be returning. I ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken was completely raw inside . The waitress immediately took the chicken, I kept the waffle which was good. The manager came over and apologized and took 20% off the bill. I definitely would've comped the full meal. Yuck! read more

Although the interior is cute, the food is a hit or miss. I think the burgers and fries look anemic. The waffle fries definitely could be fried longer. They probably do have great pancakes and waffles though. Potatoes were bland so thankfully they had hot sauce and salt. Service is also forgetful or absent. It was fine in the beginning but there was a good 20 minutes after we finished eating of just sitting there and not knowing what to do. read more

1. Waffle Benedict Trio - three liege waffles, roasted pulled pork, skirt steak, smoked salmon, three poached eggs, hollandaise sauce; with potatoes, fresh fruit 2. Country fried chicken 3. Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake waffles Waffle Benedict Trio is the best bang for buck. It's a tad pricey but can easily be shared by two people. The ingredients are tasty for the most part. Unfortunately , there's some false advertising. "skirt steak" turned out to be ground beef. Country fried chicken tastes nothing like country fried chicken. Blueberry Lemon cheese cake waffles are regular waffles topped with a less than modest amount of blueberry lemon sauce. No complaints about service. read more

Great breakfast spot that can get busy during the popular brunch hours on the weekend. The staff was super efficient and service was quick. The server ordered our food right away and we ended up getting our food within 15 minutes of being seated! I loved my blueberry lemon waffles and breakfast potatoes.

Ordered breakfast meal with "Skirt Steak" (RARE) eggs poached, potatoes and toast. The steak came CHOPPED and BURNT. the eggs are over medium, no yolk whatsoever. Poached eggs should be JAMMY. This was a huge miss and when I called the restaurant they argued with me about how it comes with chopped steak, even though the ordering platform lists skirt steak. Your error is not my issue and you did not care to make it right. Won't be back. read more

Tasty, although a bit pricy for what you get. It's a good spot if you enjoy waffles. It's pretty typical of a West Loop establishment - bustling and rustic in an upscale way, if that makes sense. You will probably have to wait thirty minutes for food on a weekend. This spot is popping on Saturday and Sunday. Check it out if you're a breakfast food enjoyer! read more

I stopped by after a night at a concert at the Bottom Lounge. The Hotel I was staying at was close by and in walking distance. I try to visit independent establishments when I am out of town as most hotel breakfast are disappointing. However, breakfast at Chicago Waffles was not disappointing! I try to somewhat eat healthy (as I am a personal trainer) but I do love me a good pancake or fried potato. But all within moderation, right? I understand why their potatoes were called "signature"... the onions were soft and the potatoes were crispy. Everything was tasty and perfectly balanced! read more

The waffles were so so good!!!! It was crispy and just perfect. The best waffles i had in a while. I am a big fan of Avocado toast and I typically try it everywhere, here it was topped with burrata cheese and pesto (small portion or avocado) overall it was delicious but I was expecting to get more avocado taste. The sandwich was cooked to the perfection. The service was great and very nice staff with traditional and bit raw ambiance. Definitely recommend it and they have quite intensive menu so more and more reasons to come back here. read more

Big menu choices. I didn't like the omelet that I ordered. Came with several workers during lunchtime. The people are pleasant, nice air conditioning, and looks clean for being a newer restaurant. I am not sure if will try this again since there are more opportunities for food in the area. You can give it a try and see if there is something that 'catches your eye' or better tasting. read more

Took an hour to get a bagel and cream cheese, with the rest of the table's food arriving another 15 minutes later.

Came in for lunch on a thursday, not too busy. I decided to try the short rib and cheddar waffle (the short rib is on top/on the side of the cheddar waffle) rather than my usual chicken and waffle. I do regret that decision as the short rib portion was very small and also kind of weird tasting. However, the waffle was pretty good and so was the banana cream waffle. The service was awesome and the waitress even overhead us getting excited about a certain sauce, and brought us a different dish with the same sauce to try! There's lots to try on the menu and it's a cute little diner, would eat there again! read more
