We had a great experiance all of the food was delicious, a los better than in vasco. Service there was great everyone was nice and also made jokes for the family. The ambiance was warm and inviting it was also very lively. read more

I'm not a big breakfast person but my son and I stopped in here to kill some time recently. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and I think I'm addicted now. It was so delicious. I usually stop eating when I'm full but I couldn't put my fork down. It came with an option of fruit and I had low expectations. Often you get some mushy thawed out honeydew melon but they delivered real fresh fruit! It was a great balance to my decadent sweet treat. It came with eggs too but that was way too much food for me. Good value, great food, excellent service. read more

Country Waffles - View while sitting - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livermore, California

Great waffles i recommend the strawberry one. The manager is super friendly and so is the staff.

I met my family of six for breakfast, the service was friendly and good given how busy it was, the ambiance is casual and clean. Our meals varied but basic breakfast items were pleasant, tasted good. The portions were reasonable given it's a restaurant chain but I would return. read more

The service was quick and they would check on us frequently. It did smell like something had burnt so it was a bit bothersome for a bit. I ordered the border plate and I was really underwhelmed. It wasn't special and it tasted really bland. It was a bit of a let down because I enjoyed my breakfast last time I came. My friend ordered an omelet, but it had so many chiles in the middle that had no flavor as well. The parking here is easy, but their bathrooms were extremely dirty. read more

Country Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livermore, California

Visit the country waffles for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It had been a while since last visit. Restaurant staff (Alma and Luz) were top-notch - being very patient yet very attentive. Ordered the senior breakfast, which is a filling meal. Bacon cooked crisp and flavorful with eggs prepared as requested and hashbrowns cooked, but not overly crunchy. Biscuit was soft and flavorful. Breakfast partner had the regular linguiça breakfast and was happy with the amount of food and taste. Lots of activity during breakfast; all if not most customers seem to be content. Country Waffles is always a good place to go for a simple flavorful breakfast. read more

The chicken was greasy and had no flavor. One of the servers kept walking in back of our table running into my chair instead of walking around the other side where there was plenty of room. read more

I just had the most delightful tasting breakfast @ Country Waffles, Holmes St, Livermore. It was a special entree for the day, very Moist & savory, it was grilled salmon flank, (onions, chopped tomatoes, jalapenos ) type salsa,& light spices, all on an egg omelette. It came w/fried potatoes, & rye toast. Well done Natalie , you came up w/ the tastiest meal I've had all year... So THANKS, for this Happy Mother's Day special, it was phenomenal ! read more

This review for the location on Holmes in Livermore, CA. Had breakfast here with friends on 7/12/24. Our friends live near here and come often for breakfast...the staff all know them and even order for them! We all enjoyed our breakfasts. The wait staff were all courteous and attentive, service was excellent, all orders were ready in a timely manner. What more could you ask for? read more

This place is such a disappointment, after several tries ordering breakfast from here . The service is bland also, I walked in the restaurant for a take out order and waiting for the cashier a manager made eye contact with me and said nothing looking the other way, then silently stared the cashier working the register down. ' get to your post' type of stare. The cashier had a dry tone and seemed somewhat confused when I said, ' pick up, for......' I waited about 5 min. and what a waste of money and time. Right away I could tell the only thing made on the spot were the scrambled eggs' which had heat coming off them. The waffle presentation very dry and crispy looking with no heat coming from it, just cold.One bite just disgusting and the waffle tasted like corndog batter, the texture very dried out crispy & crumbly. Not even was the syrup helpful to soften the texture of the dry pumice stone textured crumbling waffle. I absolutely wouldn't feed this to a dog!, I could NOT eat or enjoy the breakfast entirely. This place really should stop taking short cuts in the kitchen! Terrible, terrible service all around. This place blew it with me, after 3 tries only getting the same result with the food, this place is ' cancelled'. Country' what, Country' who?????? read more

First timer. Place was packed but our food still came out quickly. The hostess, server, and bus service were around frequently to pour coffee and what not (very good service). I ordered a sausage patty with eggs and hash browns and a half waffle. All very good but not dissimilar from other good diners. The ambience was awesome. Bustling with families (it was Sunday around brunch) and lots of employees. We had a positive experience and I'd visit again. read more

Ehhhhhh... The service was nice and the staff are friendly at least. Food was ok, but did not feel like I got my money's worth. I inhaled my order of chicken and waffles and still felt unsatisfied. By all means the food was not bad, though I wonder the demographic when by default.. the chicken and waffles comes with... honey mustard?? like.. not some honey dijon or something.. but honey mustard.. It is apparent why after you take a bite into their pretty flavorless fried chicken... I am used to some well seasoned fried chicken on waffles served with syrup and hot sauce... but everything started a bit bland.. so drowned my waffle in syrup and butter.. and tried to kick up the chicken with some hot sauce... yea.. didn't help too much.. used the honey mustard.. and while not the flavor I was looking for.. it made it at least more palatable. Yea... just not feeling it here. Maybe I'll just stick with the waffles and drown it in butter and syrup. read more

Always my go to breakfast date spot with my husband. Service is always good and quick and the food is always on point. I get the waffle and hash browns with bacon and my husband gets a skillet. We always leave full and happy. read more

Seriously I don't understand why people gave this place bad reviews. My experience here was pleasant. Service: very attentive and friendly staff. A lady kept on coming back to our table to offer coffee refills. It was impressive. Food: I ordered the Hog Skillet, which was two eggs scrambled with diced ham and bacon on a bed of country potatoes, topped with cheese, tomatoes and green onions. It was heavenly. The cheese was stringy as you forked into your meal. The country potatoes were amazing; crispy, well browned, and served still in their skins. Delicious. I also ordered a side of two toasts to go with that. Super yummers. Price: mine was $10.50 and I left that place stuffed!!! Also, Yelp offered 7% cash back. It was totally a deal! I would go back and try their other stuff. read more

Country Waffles - Hog Skillet: 2 eggs scrambled w/ diced ham & bacon on country potatoes, topped w/ cheese, tomatoes & green onions - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livermore, California

Nice service, but a little slow. Waffle was great but took a while to make. Eggs Benedict was bad. Ham burnt, sauce was thick and almost chunky. See pic. Farmers Scramble was ok, but mostly green peppers (uncooked). Coffee was ok. I would go again and just get waffles. It's in the title. Makes sense. read more

Country Waffles - Eggs Benedict, kinda - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livermore, California

Visited this franchise location last Sunday for lunch and ordered a combo with sausage, eggs, hash browns, and a half order of waffles. The sausage served to me was seriously undercooked, and when I pointed it out to the server, she said thanks for letting me know but did not replace the order of sausage, or even offer any substitute. Additionally, the eggs and hash browns were not impressive, and did not live up to the franchise standard. The only thing that tasted decent was the Waffles. Overall, it was a pretty frustrating and unrewarding visit. I can't say I'll ever return to this Franchise location unless there is significant evidence that they turn it around read more

Besides their name giving it away, you know a breakfast place is doing right when there are limited hours and lines out the door for Sunday brunch. Country waffles is a no-frills breakfast restaurant that serves American breakfast comfort food like pancakes, omelets, and benedicts. I recommend it because the food is fast and fresh, the staff are very attentive and quick, and the line moves quickly during the usual weekend rushes. They serve lots of a la carte breakfast items and also have a seniors menu. More about the food, I'd say my favorite thing when I get breakfast is pancakes. So, when I ordered a meat lover's omelet (I will not get into the Omelet vs. Omelette debate), I was happy to find out that the monstrous delight came with pancakes--very filling indeed. The omelet was full of bacon, ham, and sausage and was very good. I was able to try the cinnamon roll French toast too which was tasty but could have used a third piece of French toast; however, it was served with potatoes, eggs, and bacon. Not that I needed any more food, but we also ordered the biscuits. I can never pass up a good biscuit and I attribute this to growing up and thriving off of the biscuits at Bob Evan's in Ohio. Anyway, I'd definitely order these again. Overall, this was a worthy breakfast establishment in a nice area. I will be back! read more

Food not good. We went here yesterday with our family of six . We celebrated our daughter's twenty first birthday here. None of liked our food. We spent about a $150.That's including tax and tip. I had the cinnamon roll.French toast , I don't even think it was bread it was terrible I worst french toast i've ever had. My son had the Cobb salad .He said it was covered with blue cheese and wreck the salad because it was so much. My daughter had the waffle with nutella ,strawberries,bananas. She said it was overly sweet a grossed her out to eat. My husband had the peanut butter waffle.He said it was just so much peanut butter it was just overwhelming . My daughter got the soup salad and sandwich she said it was it ew. My son got a chocolate chip waffle.He said it was just okay. If you want to blow a $150 on food that doesn't taste good.I would go here. Also the service was not good at all. We had to ask for water every time.My husband didn't get his coffee.We had to ask for her for it because she was too busy talking to her friends. It felt inconvenient for us to ask her for anything. I would never go back here. The people are not friendly here.There's so many better places to eat at then here dont waste your money. read more

Really good place , food was great and nice service . We went as a family and everyone got something nice to eat . read more

We have been to several country waffles including the Vasco location . This location is horrible the service is really bad , employees don't care and are rude when dealing with customers . I observed how one employee was talking to the customers , it was like she was doing them a favor by taking there orders . She even make a comment to one customer that was not sure what they put on pancakes, she replied what do you think ? Onions ? I will never go there again . I love the food and customer service at the Vasco country waffles . 1000 times better than this location . Safe yourself a trip and don't go here . read more

I'd rate this place a 3.5 rounded to a 4. The restaurant was packed Sunday afternoon and we came just in time to get the last spot before they started doing a waiting list. We got the eggs Benedict and strawberry Nutella waffles. I had no complaints about the food but at the same time, there was nothing special about it. The coffee was extremely runny though and tasted close to hot water. Also, there were limited servers responsible for numerous tables so our waitress wasn't able to check on us as often. Not sure if this is the norm or if someone might have called off last minute. Overall, decent food with a friendly environment. read more

We came here on a recommendation from 3 livermore locals in the downtown music store. The place was packed at 10:55am on Saturday we were told the wait time is 10minutes. And we were seated in 10 minutes. We got some free self served coffee while we waited to be called... Not bad. We ordered the jebs good morning breakfast and the tender crepes with waffles. Food only took 15 minutes. The food was good. The pork chops were a little dry, but tasted great with the apple cinnamon side. The strawberry toppings were made from freshly sliced strawberries, not the frozen kind. The waffles weren't anything special, but they were still good. Noise level was quiet. It was fairly clean. Restrooms were Fairly clean No complaints. Nicely done Country Waffles! read more

I ordered the Senior WakeUp breakfast of scrambled eggs, not hard but not soft. They came hard. I requested a biscuit instead of toast and got wheat toast. We asked for extra napkins because my friends drink spilled, and got only 2 extra napkins, so we had to ask for more. Service was not as good or accurate as the Country Waffles on Vasco at North Front. Very disappointing. I will not be returning. read more

Came here alone a few days ago and had no issues; staff was very friendly and attentive. I returned today with my boyfriend and received dirty looks from the staff throughout our breakfast, including from our server, Jeannie. If you are LGBT and looking to enjoy a nice meal with your significant other without dirty, judgmental looks from the staff, I would suggest eating elsewhere. Country Waffles employs bigots! read more

Got the country Benedict. Best tasting breakfast sausage but the country gravy tasted like raw flour, cooked out a little more and would've been an awesome breakfast. read more

I thought the food had no flavor.. When I saw they served chicken & waffles Benedict I got excited then i tasted it.. oh brother!! The hot chocolate was the best thing I ordered!! read more

Wouldn't recommend the toast. Everyone has their grubby hands on it, I'm sitting her watching people touch menus, then wiping their hands on the back of their pants, touching money, etc and then touching the toast with their bare hands. People in the kitchen are at least wearing gloves and being sanitary, but the front of the house is pretty gross! Everyone is nice and the food is good, but seriously watch the toast process and see how many people are touching gross things then the toast and putting it in peoples plates. Literally just watched a lady take someone's money, then walk and get a drink, wipe her hands on her butt, then get someone's toast and butter it before serving it. Granted she is wearing jeans but seriously not good in my opinion.. read more

Took the kids here this past Sunday and even though it was great that we got seated right away, I was so disappointed in the order my 9 year old daughter received. She ordered which I believe to be the smiley face pancake to go along with her typical eggs, bacon and hashbrown breakfast. What she received was a disappointing sad pancake. Her pancake literally had a sad face and my daughter thought it was the rudest thing ever and kept asking why someone would do that. I did not say anything because all of my kids were hungry and i just wanted them to eat so we can continue on with our day. Plus, what would the cooks have done? Scrape off the sad mouth and add a happy mouth, right? But the point is that they did it knowing it is going to a child and the server served it to my daughter! I did take a picture which i will definitely attach to show proof. Also, with this being our second time at this restaurant, I figured this place is called Country Waffles for a reason right? So i ordered the half waffle that went with my breakfast. I have never had such a hard, crunchy waffle. It had no flavor and was just blah! I ate some of my eggs and potatoes before trying the waffle. But there is just no way the waffle could have gotten that hard in such a short time. Something was wrong because even the butter wasn't melted which can only mean the waffle had already been premade for quite some time prior to my order. Definitely not fresh. Yuck! Anyway, we are definitely not coming back. I'm sure there are better breakfast/brunch places around town. I added the sad face pancake with lopsided ears photo which was suppose to be a "smiley face pancake" to the photos :( read more

Country Waffles - How disappointing for a 9 year old to receive! I believe this is called the "smiley face pancake". - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Livermore, California

i came here with three friends after running the hook & ladder race in nearby wente vineyards. fortunately for us, the wait was minimal, 5-10 minutes for a table for 4, which is great during prime brunch hour on a gorgeous, sunny sunday morning. guests who had to wait for a table had access to chairs and coffee on the covered patio. while we were waiting, we perused the menu so that we could order as soon as we were seated since all of us were famished after the race. their menu has the usual eggs, pancakes, omelets, skillets, bacon, fruit and lunch sandwiches and salads. the unique items, in my opinion were the pigs in the blanket (sausage wrapped in thin pancakes) and assorted varieties of waffles. the 4 of us decided to share one order of the plain waffle, since it was by default carved into 4 distinct pieces. this was brought out first, so we dove in and i will say this waffle was really good! the outside was golden brown and crispy, and the inside was pale yellow and soft and chewy...delicious! i actually didn't even need butter and syrup on my waffle as it tasted so good all by itself! a few minutes later, our entrees arrived. two of my friends ordered the 3 pigs in a blanket which came with two eggs, a side of hash browns and toast....a seriously large plate of food fit for a king! my friends ran hard that morning so they earned this ginormous plate of food! another friend and i ordered the fresh garden omelet which consisted of zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, green onions, and bell peppers topped with shredded cheese. i requested mine without cheese and made with egg whites only. for my sides, i requested a fruit cup in lieu of hash browns and biscuits instead of toast. the omelet was really big and filled with lots of veggies; i appreciated that they did not skimp on filling the omelet as some restaurants do. the fruit cup was a nice array of bananas, strawberries, and canteloupe, all freshly cut. the biscuits were a bit disappointing as they weren't "fluffy" with the bumpy texture that i'm used to seeing with a traditional southern biscuit. the taste was just ok, and my friend who also ordered biscuits, and is from texas, agreed, that these biscuits were just ok. i took a to-go box since i couldn't finish my meal, but i had to go to the register myself since my waitress forgot to bring me one. i like they had the small to-go box, so that i could put my fruit in one container and leftover biscuits in another, to prevent the biscuits from getting soggy. since each of our entrees was the same price and we split the waffle 4 ways, splitting up the bill was pretty easy....an even $14 per person, including tax and tip. pretty good considering how much food we got, and definitely less than what we'd expect to pay back in south bay and peninsula. overall, a solid place to sit down with some friends for breakfast or brunch if you're in livermore or the tri-valley area. read more

We come here every year when we travel from southern Cali to visit my father in law. We had a vegetarian sandwich, country waffles, a scramble with hash browns and the country potatoes. All in all - service is great, my father in-law and sister-in-law have been coming here for the past 7 years. The fact that they took care of the vegetarian in the room, care for my 89 year old father in law and embraced our picky eating requests makes it all worth it. Paul- the waiter has been working here since I have been coming. Amazing service.Definitely will keep on coming!!! read more
