Stopped in on our way through town. We had a great breakfast. Yummy, good size portion and friendly service. If you are worried about masks and distancing they are on it. Staff is wearing masks and tables are distanced. Thank you for a yummy breakfast. read more

Don't eat here unless you want to wait outside in 100+ degree heat. Rude service not accommodating at all.

Their food is really good! They're reasonably priced and they have great customer service! Definitely love their French toast :)

Absolutely the best customer service I've had at any restaurant. My coffee cup never went empty. I had 3 staff waiting on me to make sure my every need was met. So great to see that customers are appreciated and well taken care. Best service in Merced County for sure read more

We normally love this place but today's customer service was sub par at best. They had 2 bussers but there was at least 6 open tables unbussed and a bunch of people were waiting. One of the bussers took 10 minutes to finish one table!!! One of the waitresses talked to a customer at her table for 15 minutes while people were waiting. Our waitresses Cory is ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL, efficient, and friendly. Probably just a bad day. The food is always great. read more

One hungry morning, after visiting my family in the area my little family and I looked for a good place to have breakfast. We were looking for something generic, like Denny's, but we stumbled upon this place. We've always wanted to try eating here, but didn't know they had one in this town. We thought, "what a perfect opportunity to try their food." Upon walking in, the decoration looked outdated - I think they were going for the "country" look, lots of pinks, greens, and white lattice. It didn't really bother me much; at least it was clean. We were promptly seated and served. I had the Jeb's Morning Breakfast: scrambled eggs, country fried pork, country potatoes, and biscuit with gravy. The food was bland. Their biscuits were good (needed a little salt), but order the gravy on the side. When you order it together, the biscuit is served drenched in gravy. It made the biscuit soggy. The country fried pork was a little tough. It needed salt and pepper. The potatoes were a bit greasy and again needed some salt. All in all, skip this joint... You're better off going to Denny's for their Grand Slam - good ol' American breakfast. read more

Stopped in just before the 2PM closing. The special menu had a Fajita Salad and my craving was a salad (I know, at a breakfast place). Well the chef nailed this dish and I will return as it was done great with salsa and a side of 2 small tortillas! The waitress was very kind and personable! I think more people should give higher stars even when its not a touted spot. This food rocked! read more

This is the best breakfast in town!!! (I ought to know, as my mom wants to go regularly) The food is always delicious and the service is phenomenal!! I am super picky about my eggs and they are scrambled to perfection every time. We love Corie who is the manager and all the other servers. You can't go wrong for anything you order here. Love this place!!!! read more

Best price performer in Merced for breakfast. Lot's of specials before 10am. Great coffee and fresh locally prepared ingredients. Can't go wrong here for good reliable basics with a smile. read more

My first time here and it was not disappointed! Friendly service and the food was beyond delicious! I also noticed the restaurant have Crepes which make me excited! After my food came, the service gave me my check which is good also because you can pay up front whenever you're ready to leave. It was quiet and clam, the staff return to my tables several times of I needed refilled or anything. Great service, great foods, great standard. Sadly, it only open nine hours I believe? Would love and recommended everyone to dine here. read more

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

See all

Worse customer service here, was seated fairly quickly and ordered food. We were served out food really quick, within 5 minutes. I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was so hard the knife wouldn't even cut through the chicken, within 2 minutes of receiving my food I was given my check, couldn't even enjoy the food on top of feeling rushed. When I got up to pay up fron the waitress ran to the register as if I was going to walk out without paying. Horrible service and food will not be returning. read more

Much better than other places. Portion is great. Service is the best probably in Merced. Will gladely come back

This is the place to come...if you want some terrible food. I asked for a straw, as I sensed the cups would not be clean enough. Much to my surprise... I ordered a pespi, and there was an open sugar packet in there. Sure enough, I had foreshadowed it. Next, our meals arrived and at first I was relieved, as I hoped it would make up for it, but once again I was disappointed... I ordered a waffle-wich and I could see butter dripping from it. Much worse was the taste. If you like eating spoonfuls of butter, then you'll definitely enjoy this. I feel 5 pounds heavier after one bite. The hashbrowns were so oily my mouth felt slimey. read more

I don't even want to give you a star. I want my $12 back so I could get something better and cheaper at McDonalds! Food is cold. It took forever. Ham and eggs are on top of potatoes, that seemed to be mushed in a ball. And there is 0 sauce on this Benedict. Seriously, take more pride in your work. read more

Country Waffles - Are you joking me with this to go order!?!? This is an eggs Benedict... where is the sauce? This is very disappointing! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Merced, California

Just OK at best, I'll give me another try In about Year. Staff was friendly The food tasted like it came out of the microwave

This is a great place. Staff is friendly and remembers you by name and order. Family comes here all the time. Corey is the nicest person ever. She goes above and beyond to make sure your happy. I recommend 100%!!! read more

Consistently good food and service. The staff tries to please. Sometimes crowded and a waiting list is necessary. A homey, country kitchen atmosphere part of the charm. read more

We took a chance and tried a new place for us to have breakfast. WE LOVE it. It's not huge but the food was great. Atmosphere you can't beat for a breakfast place. We have been several times and it has become our 'go to' place. The staff is so friendly and so helpful. They are even recognizing us now. A good cup of coffee and even the daily specials make for a good way to make your day. read more

Country waffles serves breakfast and lunch only...overall good experience. Server was quick to get our drinks as well as give us enough time to order. It was our first time there so we ask for extra time just to over look the menu. We order two All-American plate and one Eggs & Bacon plate. My sister order her AA with country potatoes and egg over easy with 4 links and 1/2 waffle; I order the same thing but with scramble well eggs and hash brown, the nephew order the E&B with pancakes. My sister loved her plate except that the country potatoes were burnt; I mean you could literally see the black potatoes skins. My plate; I ask for well scramble eggs and it was just regular scramble meaning it was still gooey in the center no light browning on the outer, so I'm a bit disappointed. If the cook didn't get it right the first time I don't like to have them remake it (that's just my theory). Hash brown was alright could've been a bit more brown or crisper on the top. My nephew and I just basically ate the top part of the hash brown. The sausage links were good!! Pancake was good per my nephew! I would have to say I love their waffles; super crunchy and it does not get soggy with the syrup!!! Overall though there were some bad parts to this dining experience I honestly would give it a try again--we did go 30 min before closing (still no excuse to serving not up to par food). The menu had a good selection of food that's why we would go again. The server heard me when I said "well scramble" bc it was written on the order slip so it was the cook who did not make my order right. I honestly love their waffle though!! Price:$$ Decoration: Old fashion but could be bc of the theme of the restaurant Service: 4 Food:3 read more

not only is this place adorable, the staff is SO NICE!! the waitress took all of our substitutions and even gave us separate totals to make things easier. they are very friendly and personable. and the food is great!!! highly recommend. read more

Amazing food! The staff is always welcoming when we come in. Great place for breakfast!

Great food and staff is great. Nate is always nice and helpful....we visit from bay area and we always eat breakfast here. Love eating at a place where you are treated like family!!! read more

After reading the reviews on here we decided to give Country Waffles a try and we are glad we did. Excellent breakfast at very low prices, great service, clean restaurant. We will come back again~ read more

First time here, clean, relaxing, good traditional breakfast. Waitress is attentive and beautiful. The atmosphere is calm and soothing. I wouldn't mind coming here again. I ordered the Rancher Skillet and its a reasonable size portion for almost $10.. I would bring my friends and family here for breakfast if they ever can wake up early read more

I was visiting family in Merced and we were looking for a place for breakfast. The Yelp reviews were all over the place making it difficult to decide. We ended up choosing Country Waffles. I was very pleased. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food came out in a timely fashion. I had the Eggs Benedict. They were quite tasty with fresh ingredients. The other members of my party were also happy with their selections. For the money, this is well worth the visit. read more

I have eaten here a few times as I live in Merced. I have noticed that the service and cleanliness has gone down hill. Next time you visit this place, take a look at the corners of the floor, the cracks in the seat cushions and the blinds. The blinds should contain enough food splash to make a meal. I think the cleanliness is a lot to be desired and has me really questioning the kitches and food handling. read more

Be careful if you an over sized woman sitting with a sexy man in Cori's section. She will insult you. She told my husband " Be careful, if you push it towards her, she will eat it". Jealousy will get you no where sweetie... expect fired when I call the owners. Food.... We both had Denver Omelets or should I say bell pepper omelets. We couldn't even taste the eggs, onion or ham over all the peppers. Watch the country potatoes... they weren't black from cooking, it was rotten. We will never return. read more

The prices are reasonable and the food was delicious! The waiter I had was curtious and friendly and our food came out pretty quickly... What more can you ask for... The Deco inside is out dated to me but it brings it all together and makes it what they are... I guess it's like eating at grandma's... I Will continue to come here. read more

I'm adding my review from several weeks ago because I was pleasantly surprised. I went to this place expecting subpar; the reviews seemed mostly poor. But the place was clean, the staff were all friendly, and the food was tasty. It's nothing fancy, but that's what rocks; it's breakfast in a slightly old fashioned grandma's house type place. I'll definitely be back. Why not give it a try? read more

My girlfriend and I frequent here for breakfast after our morning classes, and the the food is always prompt. The waiters and waitresses are always nice. On my last visit I forgot to leave a tip and felt awful. when I called, the gentleman that waited on us told me not to worry about it, he was very respectful and said I can tip him next time I visit if I would like. I Recommend coming here. the only reason it's not 5 starts is because My girlfriend and I got semi-cold hash browns once. No big deal. read more

After I emailed the BIG WIG to complain here is his answer......(customer servIice) sucks) here is his reply.......""We did an extensive investigation of what is described in your emails, and after doing so, we concluded that resolution, if any, will have to be arranged between you and our franchisee, XXX (name removed per me). Our conclusion was based in large part by the following considerations: XXX( name removed per me) has many years experience in the food business, most of which occurred while she was employed at our company-owned stores. She was an exemplary employee. She became a franchisee in 2012, and has been since then one of our best franchisees, consisting scoring highest in the chain on inspection reports, secret shopper reports and customer comment cards. We place little credibility on web site reports, such as Yelp, because we are constantly approached by media companies who, for a price, offer to load up these sites with laudatory comments. Should you wish to pursue this matter further, we invite you to contact XX (name removed per me) directly. Tom Nast "" THIS ABOVE SHOULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND IF THE ESTABLISHMENT CARES! Seems like they do not put much stock in YELP as they said here above...well they better care! I gave it only 1 star as it was 'open!!!!!!! and not closed only! read more

Been coming here for years! Always great and warm service. And great food. Absolutely love their banana caramel and pecan waffles and their specials! read more

This is a fantastic diner in Merced! The service is amazing. They are professional, friendly, attentive, and the food arrives quick hot and fresh! It's great! read more

The name says it all, but I have yet to try a waffle dish! Next time, I swear. I enjoy the french toast breakfast enough to keep coming back. The cinnamon swirl french toast was not my fave with all the glaze, so I stick with the regular bread (and proceed to douse with syrup, yumm). They have flavored non dairy creamer, which I love, since milk doesn't love me. I never had to wait to get seated and the food comes out quick. I recommend! read more

This might be bias because I love pink but this place is gorgeous! Their country-decor is so inviting. There are beautiful paintings on the wall and faux flowers hanging everywhere. The service was quick and friendly. Our food was served almost instantly after we ordered. The food was AM-MAZ-ING!!!! All of their food is full of flavor. Prepare to have a party in your mouth. read more

Seems like Country Waffles tried a little too hard to give a home-y country feel to their restaurant. Overall the interior feels very dark, cluttered and tacky, only my opinion of course. The food was decent. My girlfriend ordered a meat lovers omelette which had fairly good meat, however there were far too many vegetables in the omelette and the flavor was overwhelmed by the amount of spicy green peppers and wasn't very pleasing (and we love spicy food). The biscuits and gravy was very unimpressive, just one very small biscuit split open and topped with mediocre gravy. My BBQ burger was decent but very very greasy, definitely not the best burgers in town, visit H&W for the best burgers for a local joint. The fries were "meh" as well, tasted like they were bought from the store. I probably won't be back just because I know of too many other great breakfast places around. read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Really good breakfast deals if you go there before 11am. Breakfast specials range from $2.88- $3.88 I believe. Their strawberry crepes are my absolute favorite! They use fresh strawberries not the goopy frozen kind. Suuuper yummy. I recently tried the chile verde omelet and that was pretty good too, chunks of pork in a chile verde sauce served inside and over your omelet. Service is always fantastic, friendly and fast. You never have to wait very long for coffee, as there are several waitresses passing by giving refills. read more

I had the egg Benedict and didn't really like it much looks good maybe next I'll order something different service was great

For me the decor doesn't matter as long as it's a clean place. So yeah the decor is outdated but the food was terrific! They loose a star because the waitress gave us our food and was never to be seen again. Although their bus boy was terrific. He was taking care of us how our waitress should have been. He had a terrific attitude and made the bad service by our waitress tolerable. Wish I got his name so I could give him a shout out. We ordered the peanut butter banana waffles and the chile verde omlet. Both were outstanding!!! Definitly going back! Only thing if your going on a sunday prepare to wait a bit. But it's definitly worth the wait. read more

Food quality has gone downhill badly. The waitress did her best to make things right but the quality just isn't there any more.
