    Mark's BBQ Omelette
    Camille W.

    Totally worth the hype. We had some guests from out of town and we took them here recently. They offer an incredible variety of waffles and breakfast items here. My bf couldn't believe you could get ice cream on your waffles haha. I really enjoyed the bbq omelette. I'd never think to put bbq sauce on an omelette but here I am, savoring every last bite. I wanted to split it into two meals but I couldn't stop eating it. I'd come again in a heartbeat, although I'd try and come during the week as opposed to the weekend because the wait is probably unbearable during most weekends. Ample parking because it's a strip mall. Also if you sit outside, they have plenty of heaters so won't shiver while you eat.

    Wow what a hidden gem!! You don't even know about this spot since it's in the back of the shopping center. This place was crazy busy and packed as expected for a great spot and weekend brunch. We put our names down and waited maybe 15-20 minutes. Beautiful view of the fountain and they have nice seating outside. We got to sit inside where the AC was blasting lol. Food also came out really quick after we ordered! He got some potatoes with egg and I got the chilaquiles with added avocado and tortilla chips on the side so they don't get soggy. Huge portion so there were definitely some leftovers! Super delicious and love how quick the service was. Wish it had the green verde sauce but the salsa was nice and not spicy. Friendly staff both hosts and waitresses. Definitely want to come back and try some of their waffle items! IG: @ammysalamii

    Food is great! 5 stars for food...everything else definitely could use some improvement. Make sure you do the yelp waitlist. Check in with the front when you arrive and be on top of your waitlist. We waited more than an hour, then got a text saying we were taken off. Front of house said we were supposed to check in with them (but never got a text)...party in front had same issue...didn't apologize or anything...waited probably 10 more min then we were sat for party of 3. 3 of us ordered: mushroom omelette $20.95 upgrade to blueberry waffle $7.50 side potatoes $5.95 cali omelette with waffle $21.95 OJ $5.25 Waffle is truly light and crispy, best I've had! Solid omelet. For the most part, staff is friendly, could be a bit more attentive. Older building. Layout of the place could definitely be more optimized...but why change anything when they're so busy haha. Overall, food here is great! Just be mindful of everything up to getting food on the table. Will be back!! Curious to see how the waffle holds up for takeout.

    It's been years since I've been here but the spot is still the same and the food is so great ! We got there around 9 so there was no wait but when we left there were so many people waiting in a Sunday. Got a burrito which was delicious. Their portions are kind of big so it's definitely good to share. Can't wait to come back. It's such a cute place it's gives off a bed and breakfast kind of vibe.

    Santa Fe Benedict
    Rony Q.

    Service and food were all really good and the ambiance was very quaint and fitting! My friends and I ordered The Big G, Ronnie's breakfast bowl, the Sante Fe Benedict, and we also got a lemon lover Belgian waffle to share. Something that stood out right away were that the portions were enormous, especially the Santa Fe Benedict. All the good was delicious and my personal favorite was the waffle, which is rare. Shoutout to our server for being super attentive and hooking us up on the house strawberry jam and salsa!

    This place is a bit tucked away--downstairs behind a large mall off Ventura Boulevard--but free parking helps, and clearly word has gotten out. When I arrived around 10:30 on a Monday morning, it was already packed, especially with families and large groups. The operation runs like a well-oiled machine. Service is attentive and efficient without feeling rushed: coffee cups are constantly refilled, water glasses never empty. The interior is warm and homey, cozy in a way that makes you want to linger. Portions are generous--almost too generous--and after watching waffle after waffle glide past my table, I regretted my choice. I went with the ham and cheese crêpe, which wasn't quite what I'd hoped for. The crêpe itself was a bit soggy and overwhelmed by melted cheddar. That said, the flavors were good, and the breakfast potatoes were excellent. Lesson learned: waffles next time.

    Food was delicious. Our waitress was great. Didn't have to wait to long for our food. Place was clean.

    I'm obsessed with Brunch In Arizona it's extremely challenging to find a dairy free brunch spot unless it's a vegan place Of course California has the answer This spot was buzzing from the moment it opened. As my cousins smiled at me they told me just wait and soon I'd see why this place was the best. When a place is new to me I always get the basics for starters. A basic and plain Belgian waffle When the waffle arrived I smiled ear to ear It was light and fluffy and each square sat waiting to be filled with syrup. Add on the fact that they offer you warmed maple syrup at no extra or added cost. Take a minute to just look at my picture of the waffle with maple syrup. Steady and waiting to be devoured this was the epitome that of perfection. The loaded potatoes quickly became my 2nd favorite at the table. Perfectly balanced between crispy and soft potatoes with the perfect blend of seasoning Can I get 3 of these in az please

    Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Quick search on my car gps for breakfast and found this place nearby, so decided to give it a try. After I parked, I couldn't find the restaurant. After checking outdoor pictures from Yelp, found out it's located inside of the building. I like waffle Benedict, pancakes was very fluffy, but not a big fan of Greek omelette since I m a meat eater. If you want meat, you have to add them in. The highlight was the service, I was about to order few different dishes and she reminded me that their portions are big. So she help me tweak around my order and it came out perfect. Still had leftovers to take home

    Parking: Super easy! Large free parking lot in front of the strip mall Experience: I joined the Yelp waitlist from home for my party of 3 at around 9:20am on a Saturday morning. The estimated time said 10:06-10:26am, so we got there around 10am, but we weren't actually seated till 10:40am. However, once we did get a table, service was extremely (insanely) fast!! The menu was so extensive and everything looked delicious! I got the lemon Belgian waffle and it wasn't my favorite but my friends liked their waffles! I'd definitely come back and just plan for a longer wait.

    Love coming here for brunch! Definitely get on the waitlist on the weekend. I'd say usually, if you join the waitlist at 11am, you may be seated by 1pm so just time it well lol The ham cheese and egg crepe (forgot the name) was delicious and looked pretty unique, I wasn't expecting a burrito looking thing but wow it is huge and they stuff it generously!! I had fruits as a side bc boy, that thing was big, I could only eat half! They always give you two sauces: a spicy one for savory dishes (tasted so bomb with the crepe and honestly any other egg dishes) and some berry marmalade which does so well with their waffle (which I'd also recommend. After all that's what they specialize in, according to their name!). Service is great, especially one in particular who anticipated alllll of our needs ahead of time and was so on top of everything, checked in on us multiple time, she made us feel super special. Can't wait to go back!

    We were searching for a brunch spot and came upon More than Waffles, and boy, am I glad we did. It's a little hidden gem in the Encino Commons Plaza down a flight of stairs. They have in restaurant dining and a spacious patio area. Their food is so good. I ordered their Waffle Benedict with ham and extra hollandaise sauce on the side and my BF ordered their Hash & Eggs with side of Sausage. Everything came out surprisingly fast after ordering and let me tell you...everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The portions were big and the service was great! it's daintily a spot worth coming or putting on your bookmark!! Make sure to add yourself on their waitlist. It will cut on the wait time, which can be pretty long on the weekend.

    June 1, 2025 | Encino | More Than Waffles was a delicious & enchanting find at The Encino Town Center! Fluffy waffles, mouthwatering omelettes & friendly customer service made for a beautiful dining experience from beginning to end! Mediterranean Omelette w/Waffle: The fluffiness & flavor of the Belgian Waffle was everything! The omelette is phenomenal! A delicious combo of feta cheese, tomatoes, garlic, mushroom, basil, mozzarella, and feta cheese! Yes, please! I highly recommend both! You get to choose between a waffle or pancakes when ordering the omelette! Scenery: The sight and soothing sounds of a beautiful waterfall, including gorgeous flowers ! It's a very pretty dining area, which I enjoyed immensely! Note: Portions are huge & easily shareable! Of course, depending upon how hungry you are! Also, this place is very popular, so be prepared to wait a bit! Parking: Free & plentiful! Customer Service: Amy was amazing! She was welcoming, kind, and helpful with the menu! She also checked on us all throughout our meal! Thanks again for helping me decide on a flavorful veggie omelette, your recommendation was on point!! Overall: More Than Waffles is a perfect brunch spot in Encino! I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu sooner than later! Thanks again! I love this place!

I love their drip coffee and that there are free refills. Yay! They have some outlets available if you bring your laptop. I usually come on weekdays because the weekends get super busy! They have indoor and outdoor seating, but I like to be inside and watch the folks in the kitchen do their thing. We started with a blueberry scone and it had great flavor. It did taste a little on the dry side, so depending on how you like your scones can be a good or bad thing. Goes perfectly with the coffee! For my main I got the avocado chicken BLT wrap and it was delicious! I chose to get hash browns on the side, which were tasty but I wish they had a little more crisp on them. My mom ordered a scramble and what came out was an omelette that has been cut up into pieces. My mom brought it to an employee's attention and she offered to have them remake it, which was appreciated! Love that they validate parking if you park in the underground lot. Overall, my experience here is consistently good. Love their food and the casual vibe!

    Misleading Signs, Poor Management, and Unhelpful Service I…read morehave visited Claudine's in Encino on Ventura Boulevard many times. However, my girlfriend and I were very disappointed during our most recent visit. The tables have clear signs that read: "ORDER FROM YOUR TABLE!" with a QR code encouraging customers to "SCAN HERE TO START AN ORDER." We followed the instructions exactly. After a table became available, we sat down and tried to order from our seats using the QR code. A manager immediately came over and confrontationally told me I was not allowed to do that. When I pointed out the sign on the table, he became combative and unfriendly, insisting that we had to stand in the long line like everyone else. He came across as being on a power trip. This makes no sense. Allowing customers to order from their tables (as the signs clearly promote) would help relieve the long lines at the cash register and actually benefit the business by improving flow and customer experience. Instead, the policy creates unnecessary frustration and confusion. Even worse, the interaction felt somewhat discriminatory. This kind of treatment is unacceptable and left us feeling unwelcome in what should be a pastry and coffee shop experience. Owners and management: Please either remove the misleading table signs or honor what they say. Train your staff -- especially managers -- on basic politeness and consistency, and ensure all customers are treated fairly. The servers who bring the food are very polite and courteous, the manager not so much. Great food will keep you in business only for so long, however if the management is so hostile and dominant, people will eventually go elsewhere. This experience will keep us from returning.

It was full and the whole parking situation with the metered is a cluster fuck. Not part of the restaurant....lol... Found street parking along Moorpark which was only a little walk to the restaurant. There was a band setting up when we arrived which could also be the reason for a full parking lot. I overheard someone saying that certain days they have live music which is perfect as it's starting to heat up. Nice dining experience with live music. We ended up sitting inside for the ac which I would have love to be outside but it was fine. Breakfast had ended but the lunch menu was quite good. I've alway ordered at the counter each visit which I'm not even sure they have waitress service with order. After ordering, a number is give where it's placed on the table. As there was a couple of us, a few dishes was had. I alway go for the mimosas deal, 3 for the price of 2. Food, the Cobb salad which I forgot to add protein to it but it was still decent. That came with their vinaigrette dressing but a side of ranch was also asked for. The Brie and turkey sandwich with a side of the macaroni salad. Sandwiches were quite tasty with the toasted bread and how everything melted together. The burger which was pretty big in size. Tasty from what I was informed and served with a side of fries. Lastly, the avocado toast with tomatoes. Simple and cheerful. Plus you need an extra side order of streak fries with ranch. Both ketchup and their avocado dip was brought out as well. Food was good, the service was great. Both with the gal at the register and the waitress bringing out the food. It's pet friendly which is also nice to have the little pup with us. Forgot, they also have a nice display case of sweets on hand. And cookies that were massive. Clearly one was had before the meal. Sweets beforehand is always a good idea. Great service, nice drink, live music and a lovely crowd. What a nice way to enjoy lunch on a Tuesday afternoon.

    Cute restaurant! I've driven past it plenty of times before but never stopped in, and finally had…read morelunch here recently. They have a small parking lot out front but it's quite small, I found a parking spot a couple blocks away. It's on a busy street though so beware of fast traffic. They have lots of outdoor seating in the patio, it's mostly shaded and seems like a great spot to come and do work. They also have a big indoor space as well. You order inside and they bring your food out to you. I got the Chinese chicken salad. It came out pretty quickly and had a nice presentation. It was good overall but also not the best I've had in town.

The staff is genuinely kind, the service is effortless, and the energy is all heart. Come hungry, because the portions are big, comforting, and made to satisfy. And the albondigas soup... absolutely unforgettable -- the best this side of the Rio Grande. If you want a place that's welcoming, delicious, and easy to settle into, this is it.

Norm has not chosen to lower the quality as some other deli's have. The menu is extensive and very inviting. Service is always top notch. The wait staff is very accommodating and friendly. They all remember who you are. Since I've been a customer for many years and when I come in for breakfast, they know I need my coffee!!! Thank you Bobby and others. Janet, Sharon and Karen, can't say enough good things about you. Norm, always nice to chat. And this goes to all the staff, friendly and very accommodating. Ambiance? Its busy. And busy is excellent because you know the food is always fresh. The restaurant is clean, bright, and the restrooms are clean. They have enough staff to accommodate the patrons when it's busy. For me, I like a busy restaurant. Keep up the excellent work Norm. You all always make me feel welcome

    I've been coming here for a while now and it's honestly one of my neighborhood favorites, which is…read morewhy this review is a little disappointing to write. I usually order this same meal and genuinely love it, but today just felt like a miss. The toast was extremely thin and hard--almost more like a crisp than bread. I asked if there was another option or even just a different slice, but was told that all the bread was like that, which was surprising since that hasn't been my experience here before. The house-made jam was also off today--it was much more watery than usual and didn't have that same rich texture I'm used to. The potatoes were underwhelming as well--lacking seasoning and slightly burnt. I will say, the server was kind and did bring out a vegan date pastry after I had already received my bill, which I appreciated. It just wasn't something I would typically choose, and nothing was adjusted on the bill. For the price, I just expected more consistency and care, especially from a place I usually really enjoy. I don't mind paying for a good meal, but today it just wasn't up to par. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've had much better experiences here in the past and would love to see them get back to that.
