Ohhh my, what a pleasant surprise! I wish I could have taken pictures; however,it tasted too good. I really could not stop! The flavor of the Chilaquiles was AMAZING! Spicy to perfection, (try them before you add hot sauce) you just can't stop eating them. If you like something on the sweeter side, Tres Leche waffles and French toast are great. Did I say the chilaquiles were amazing? What can I say, I like savory. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Happy eating! read more

If you're dining in, just come in and pick your seat. They have a few two-person tables & several four-person booths. They serve breakfast and lunch all day long. Get ready cause they have a lot of great options including a few Mexican dishes. Im a traditional girly so I stuck with the basic Waffle Platter (1 Belgian Waffle, 2 Eggs, & Bacon/Sausage). Ultimately, the service was cool, food was fine, and prices weren't too bad. I'd come back. Side notes: They have high chairs. 15% discount with valid college ID. (7am-3pm). Sanitation rating is 98.5. read more

Always a pleasant surprise when you go back to a restaurant and everything is as good as your memory of the first visit! Love finding local neighborhood gems. This is a small family restaurant that does a nice amount of business. The interior is small as far as seating with maybe a dozen booths. Folks did both: eat in and also ordered items to go. Bring a creature of habit got French toast with 3 chicken wings. All food is cooked to order so allow at least 15-20 minutes. Dem wings was on point! Brown, well seasoned and hot!. French toast was dipped in cinnamon just like Grandma made them. Everyone is friendly and attentive to everyone. Didn't mind the wait at all. Menu is an early Mexican lunch, and breakfast platters, french toast, waffles, omelets with breakfast sides. Will try sone other items my next visit! read more

Food is amazing and the service is great! The only thing I hate is that it's such a small location and it's forever packed. I also wished it was open every day. Nevertheless, it does not change my opinion on why it deserves a five star review! read more

The food is always good, my food was hot and very tasty, Service is Excellent, Place is clean and you know in a convenient location

Breakfast was fresh and I enjoyed my blueberry waffle and the hibiscus tea was delicious! Service was a little slow but not bad! Ambiance is ok read more

The service was good. The place is clean and was pretty much empty when I walked in to place a to go order. It took about 15 minutes to get my breakfast order. The prices were reasonable. The food was blah! I got a veggie omelette with bacon. The vegetables were over cooked and then skimmed me on the cheddar cheese. Nothing was seasoned. So if you're eating to live it's an ok place to eat. If you want to taste your food skip it read more

Early waffle was such a cute atmosphere. Very comfortable mom and pop style family restaurant. It is fairly small in there but we didn't have to wait for a seat. The staff was super friendly. And my food was delicious! I got 3 wings and when I say they were seasoned to perfection! Even the actual meat was seasoned not just the skin. I also had the 2 egg breakfast with hash browns and they were also good. My mom got the waffle and she really enjoyed it. She said it was good and fluffy. We definitely enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back. read more

Stopped here after church to grab some brunch. We dined in and were able to sit ourselves. The waitress came over within 5 mins of us sitting. Our orders were taken quickly and wait for food was not long at all. It's a cozy, mom and pop restaurant with a good southern food menu. The food was cooked to order and everything had flavor. Chicken tenders were seasoned to perfection. Would recommend to others and would def visit again. read more

There aren't many non fast food breakfast spots on this side of town. Those that do exist tend to be an arm and a leg. So it was nice to drop in here. If you're looking for fast, hot and pretty good diner food that's not too pricy, I'd send you here. Gives Waffle House without the possible chaos. It actually reminds me a little of the coney island restaurants that are on every corner in Detroit. I see that they also offer lunch and dinner. I'd love to come back to see how their burger compares to coney's. read more

Definitely a welcome environment. My breakfast was quite filling before my father hit the road back to Maryland. The service was top notch.

It's small and quaint. The loaded hash was delectable. I wish the added cinnamon or vanilla to their waffles. It fell a little flat. They ran out of biscuits and salsa, so I used the jalapeño hotsauce, which was decent. Our sever forgot to place their order, and they waited over an hour for food. Mine came immediately (I was late), which prompted them to ask where their plates were. They also got their eggs mixed around. I thought the food was just "ok"; nothing to write home about. However, I did find the eggs light and fluffy, though. So, it was a win for me! read more

My daughter and I popped in here for an impromptu brunch. The restaurant is small and cozy. Norma, was our waitress she welcomed us in and offered us a table. Norma, was very personable and friendly. My waffle wasn't bad but definitely 5 star presentation, however. My daughter had buffalo wings and fries. They were good. This is a brunch spot that closes at 3 PM. It's a great place to pop in to grab some bites in between meals. Mimosa's would be great but they don't serve alcohol.... yet. read more

Great service. Loved my waffle. Sausage was not a good patty. I wish they had real patties. Western omelette was very tasty. Coffee was pretty bland. They need a better blend. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Its like an old school neighborhood diner, with great service great food, and atmosphere. It was my first time there, since I recently moved to the nearby area. I can tell that most of the patrons were regulars. And typically regulars frequent a spot when it has good food and service. And this definitely checked the boxes. Very nice place for breakfast, lunch , or brunch. read more

Small appearance but the food was really delicious. I would recommend trying it. We had the French toast leches and it was

Visited the Early Waffle on a Sunday morning. This place is rather small. This restaurant has a Mom and Pop feel. The menu is straight to the point. There is nothing over the top or fancy about the restaurant or menu. The staff was friendly and the service was good. I will definitely revisit. read more

It was okay. Middle of the road. We wanted something that was a step up from Waffle House. This was not. I would have preferred Waffle House. The waffle was boring. Just a light plain Belgian waffle. Two small margarine cups and some syrup. The sausage wasn't great. Wasn't bad. Just boring. Eggs were just pain and boring. Hash browns were basic. It all seemed like what I could accomplish with a toaster waffle and a frying pan. I'm not a great cook but this was all just very basic. Service was okay. We asked for a water and chocolate milk. They brought one of us a water. Not both. Not sure why. Just strange. It was more expensive than Waffle House and not as good. read more

Pleasantly pleased with my visit to Charlotte NC after a long day of travel and finishing up business I had in the city I realized it was late and I was very hungry it was late and I had fun so we're still open not really a big fan of chain restaurants want to travel so I decided to look for something local to my surprise I landed on The Early Waffle. So my team and I decided to eat at this location I was very very happy that we did the owner and his family just happened to be at the restaurant it was open late but we had a blast the food was good I loved the Bourbon chicken and waffles forgive me if I didn't get the name of the dish correct. One bit into the food I was hooked hated when it was all gone I wanted more. Fast service you could tell the chef loves what he does, because you could feel it in the taste. Very creative menu items, great place to sit and chill. Clean from top to bottom family friendly safe. I'll be back soon and can't wait to eat there again. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your passion of creating a great dining experience and a safe atmosphere for me and my wallet lol. read more

Customer service was good. Food was not the best. Wings are big steroid wings real fatty and slimly. Wasted $15+ on them unbearable to eat. Waffle was good. Bacon was the thin microwaveable quality bacon. All the products quality are lower tier that is being used but the prices are middle tier to high tier. Would I eat here again probably not. The Product and presentation doesn't match the prices of the menu. read more

The grits needs a lot of work. It tastes like they cooked it with no type of added seasoning at all. No salt, no pepper, no butter, no flavor. The chicken was heavily breaded. The bacon was good and the eggs as well. This is a new restaurant so work on your cooking and I might give you another try. read more

Think Waffle House as far as the ambience but more intimate, better service and food. It is very reasonably priced. I got the French toast special with eggs and bacon, it was only about $10. The food was great, the restaurant itself was very mom and pop. I will return. read more

I usually don't write while I'm eating but for some reason I had to write about this place now. It's a small place but the feel of it is so comfy. It reminds me of someone's kitchen where the food tastes homemade the sound of the tv reminds you of your childhood Saturday morning. The people walking in are your everyday customers so it makes it that much better. With the two of us and all that we ate our bill was only $20!!! The sound of the grill going, CBS morning news, spoons hitting against coffee cups, and every once in a while the door opening is what I like to call a Saturday morning. Try it for yourself if you understand Saturday mornings as a kid and the breakfast made at home. Enjoy!! read more

It was lack luster the food was cold and my order was wrong. I had to request all sorts of stuff.

The food was SO GOOD! I will be back for the jalapeño cheddar grits!!!! The service was great and they are so nice and polite.

I tried them for the first time this morning. I was very pleased that they had options for people who don't eat pork. I ordered a waffle plate with turkey bacon and a side of grits. Those were some of the best cheese eggs I've ever had. The grits we're good and they didn't need any extra salt. The waffle was nice and fluffy my meal was a 8.5/10 overall for takeout, but I know it would be a 10 if I dined in. read more
