Stopped by this gem because I was craving a good breakfast. Well, what can I say. We were referred to the right place. I ordered the Encino's Egg White Frittata. This was delicious!! The eggs were light, and fluffy. The veggies were tender , and vibrant, not too mushy, and lastly the cheese on top was a little gooey, stretchy, and blistered. This frittata was perfect. I didn't try my table mates dishes but I'm sure they were delicious. Both plates were empty when we left. I will definitely be back to try a different dish in the future.
The food portions are HUGE and well worth the price and wait! Great diner for large families as it seems they don't require reservations for large parties. You SHOULD expect a wait, especially on the weekend. The wait is anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on when you line up. I arrived at 9:30AM on Father's Day and waited about 70 minutes to be seated at 10:40AM. The front of house did estimate about an hour wait and she was right. The Yelp waitlist isn't super accurate as people do leave the queue, I was 18th in line when I was seated. The staff are doing their best to get the food and customers in and out. They are quick and the food comes out fast and hot! I'm shocked that they were still able to check up on their tables and be friendly while fielding so many orders and customers! Speaks to their great customer service. Ronnie's Scrumptious Breakfast - 5/5, deliciously made homestyle potatoes they were piping HOT. The bacon and cheese cooked in and over medium egg were delicious!! I loved the tomato salsa that came with the food. Eggs Benedict waffles - 5/5, WOW the hollandaise sauce is on the thinner side and has a nice tang to it which makes it less heavy and easier to eat! Perfectly poached eggs and PLENTY of waffle real estate Cup of chili - 5/5, love that they top with red onion and cheese. Sweet, savory homemade chili, what's not to like!
Best waffles in town, been going here since we moved to Encino many years ago. However I haven't been back in a few years as my kids got older and prefer to sleep in than go out for breakfast. However the past holiday weekend my youngest woke up early so I told him we will go to the waffle place. Got there before 9am so we were seated right away. We sat inside and we both ordered an omelette with the waffles as the side. Service was fast but the only thing is that the eggs are overcooked. On the photo you can see the edges were brown on my order (Californian). The servings are huge so we only ate half of the omelettes we ordered and finished off the waffles. I had the Californian and my son had Denver. The Californian is a folded omelette while Denver flat. I prefer my son's omelette than mine. Next time I'll just have the waffles! Oh and they put jam and salsa that's really good to put on anything - even the waffles.
Visited More Than Waffles Saturday before Mother's Day for brunch. Was originally excited to try their food as their menu is extensive and had many options available from classic breakfast plates, Mexican twists and of course, waffles! While two kind waiters originally came to our group to just offer coffee and water, a hostess randomly came up to our group and rudely said "well, your group has been here for 40 minutes now and still haven't ordered and we need the tables". First and foremost, our group had not been there for 40 minutes yet, and if we had been, that would have showed how delayed their service was. Secondly, the hostess came off very rude and aggressive, she could have asked if we were just ready to order. Finally, we had been waiting for someone to take our order the entire time! We kindly advised we had been waiting to order. She ruined the vibes for the entire group, and we did not feel welcome for the rest of the experience. The waiters were extremely kind, just not whoever the hostess was on 5/9/26. Waffles came out first, would have made more sense to have them after the main meal. Eggs Benedict were very traditional, seasoned well but nothing to rave for. They definitely have a different take on chilaquiles, not what I was expecting but decently seasoned. Food is around 6.5-7/10. Well seasoned, flavorful but not unique. Not coming back to this location to due the experience unfortunately.
A very busy Saturday before Mother's Day. I love the WaitList they use through Yelp. I have been here before and waited over an hour to be seated. I was with my daughter and 2 granddaughters, celebrating Mother's Day. The patio area is very pretty, with the water fountain and umbrellas. The inside was like a cozy home decor. Very comfortable seating, It was very loud. I ordered the french toast waffle with fresh strawberries, kiwi and berries. I declined the whip cream and nuts and didn't use the melted butter and syrup that came with it. My waffle was delicious, with mounds of fruit, although mine was delivered about 10 minutes after everyone else, and it wasn't a french toast waffle. My daughter had the traditional eggs benedict with potatoes, which she enjoyed. My pregnant granddaughter had eggs benedict, but removed one of the english muffins and added avocado. She was very happy. My youngest granddaughter also had the eggs benedict, but with fruit. We all left full. The service was very good, in spite of the busy day.
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.
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!
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.
Met my buddy here. We both came from 20-30 minutes away. Parking lot is tight and spaces are scarce. Great outdoor environment. 15 minute wait at 10:30am Saturday. Patio table by the fountain. Most the tables are for 4, so ample room. Wonderful server. Had this oddly-looking, wonderfully delicious ham and eggs crepe with their handmade side sauces (sweet jelly and chili salsa. Fantastic!!! Five stars! BUT...I'm not sure if I would have liked eating inside as much much as I did eating on the patio.
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.
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 quality is 10/10. Fresh, hot, and tasty. Food is flavorful. We did take about 45-50 min to get seated when we were initially told 30 but I would still come again. It seems popular amongst families. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and has a vintage "grandma's house" theme going on. Don't really have any complaints!

Service by Sue is amazing. I haven't been here forever and my husband's first time here. I am usually a pancake person but I had to try the waffles. The waffles are light and airy served with melted butter and warm syrup. The poached eggs were prepared just right to the taste. The Denver omelette was delicious and they provided homemade "hot" salsa along with homemade strawberry jam to compliment the waffles.Everything came out warm and ready to enjoy. We had the pleasure to meet the owner Ika and she shared her story of More Than Waffles. Come early this place is popular to many and now to us! We will definitely be back. read more

This is our go to breakfast place. It's always pretty busy on the weekends so best to put your name in and expect to wait around, or you can probably put your name in before you head out to the restaurant as well if you time it right. I always get the triple G because it has a little of everything I want. They always provide fresh jam and salsa for free which are excellent additions to the breakfast. The service is always great here despite it always being busy. My only complaint is it's pretty cramped in the restaurant but it's not that big of a deal read more

Loved this place! I was in the area and came because it had such great reviews. The reviews are right! This is a place that knows how to do breakfast very well! I had the waffle French toast, eggs, and turkey sausage. The food was soo good and the service was extremely friendly and FAST! The inside vibe is like being in a granny's kitchen. There's floral wall paper, and old-fashioned furniture throughout. This is a must try if you want a great breakfast with a smile and the warmth of a hug by someone you love. read more

More than Waffles was pretty busy but it wasn't for me. The omelette was huge but nothing special. For a plate with Waffles in their name, I thought they would be better. The presentation on the Ghirardelli waffle was great but the waffle was pretty average. Glad they were busy but I probably wouldn't return. read more

Oh my gosh, I was never such a fan of waffles before I came here! I came with my friend on a day they seemed somewhat busy. We were seated immediately and asked if we would like to order any drinks. I went with my usual iced mocha order. It was lacking a strong coffee flavor, but it was still nice and I was able to finish all of it, which I take as a good sign. Our waitress was literally out of this world! I believe her name was Su or Susan. She was so kind and attentive the whole time, giving us amazingly thoughtful advice and recommendations. Both my friend and I were amused and in awe of the aura she brought to our dining experience here. We got the home fries/potatoes. My friend ordered an omelet and side waffle, while I ordered a waffle with a bunch of chocolate, ice cream, and whipped cream (I forgot the name) and a side of chili. The food came out fairly quickly and the portions were great for the price! Both my friend and I finished the majority of our food (I did take half the waffle home because it was so much but it was still tasty once I ate it!). The salsa and the strawberry puree that was brought to our table was also very delicious. I especially enjoyed having some of the salsa with the chili because it added an extra kick. It was really great all around and I would 100% come back here. I definitely recommend it as a nice comfortable breakfast spot. read more

they are not lying - these waffles are delicious. they're airy, fluffy, & satisfying all at the same time. my friend and i wanted something savory and sweet so we split the eggs benedict and a nutella banana waffle and it was perfect (a lot of food - we didn't finish but we probably could have if we tried a bit harder & were willing to endure a food coma). the potatos from the eggs benedict really stood out to me - they were cooked and spiced really well. our server was hilarious and very attentive even though they were really busy. i'd recommend putting your name on the list because the wait can get pretty long. read more

One of the best breakfast/brunch spots you're gonna find in the valley. There's a reason why there's always a line out the door. Inside is reminiscent of old Victorian decor (or if you went to Grandma's for breakfast haha). There's both indoor and outdoor seating but the main room is probably my favorite vibe in the whole place. All the servers are sooo nice, and the bus boys who get your drinks going right after you sit down are fast and friendly. I love a good cup of diner coffee and MTW has some of the best. My fave brunch go-to is the waffle combo; it comes with a waffle, your choice of prepared eggs, and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham. My husband loves the omelets, specifically the bacon cheddar omelet; and the Club Sandwich for lunch. There's ample parking, just know that on a weekend you're gonna be in for a wait - but it's worth it because this place is the best!! TIP: join the waitlist on Yelp to get a head start on your place in line! read more

Spotted the restaurant after enjoying a movie in the complex, reviewed the outside posted menu and decided to check out it for the weekend brunch. We used the Yelp wait list option which was very helpful in making reservation. We sat inside, however there is plenty of outside seating with heaters along the patio and view of the fountain. We had an amazing Server, Cat, she was super attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, genuine and detailed oriented which made the visit even more memorable. I had the bbq chicken omelette and my boyfriend had the Mediterranean omelette. The bbq chicken man!!! It was delicious! It was loaded with large chunks of chicken, onions, cilantro, and bbq sauce. This omelet was savory, the egg was cooked soft so there is no nutty burnt egg flavor, so it was just magical moment of yummies. The Mediterranean was fully stuffed spinach, mushroom, feta cheese.. very generous in ingredients. We had a plain waffle and the almond Joy one, to compare. The waffle was cake like which is exceptional compared to other places that make it hard, crunchy and overcooked. They take the art of waffle production seriously, no wonder this place was open since 1975. Plain waffle was not really" plain," it's super delicious dry but it is accompanied with butter, maple syrup or their homemade jam.. coming from Belgium, they know what they are doing!! The almond Joy was rich!! Adding their homemade jam was an additional treat. The first visit was amazing and look forward to many visits to enjoy their other menu options. read more

Ask the Community - More Than Waffles
Do they allow dogs on the patio?
Absolutely! We love having dogs, as long as they are on a leash and friendly
Do you take reservations?
Yes, I reserved via Yelp. When I arrived I just told them I was there. Yelp also keep track on your wait time.
Do you guys make "puppy waffles"?
I don't work there I don't own the place I'm just like you I just ate there once you would have to call them and ask I have no idea good luck
Do you have curbside pickup?
No, they do not have curbside pickup (you have to enter the restaurant).
What are the vegan options? Can't seem to find it on the menu
Do you take reservations? Im having a brunch with a group of friends with maybe 10 or 12? Are you able to give us separate checks to make things easy when paying the bill?
Yes we do! We recommend joining the Yelp waitlist or call us ahead of time. And yes, separate checks are great!
Are the waffles vegan or can be made vegan?
they have a Vegan choice, its very small https://www.yelp.com/menu/more-than-waffles-encino/main-menu
Are small dogs allowed on the patio?
I believe so. There is plenty of outside seating.
How the parking?
They have underground parking underneath the shopping plaza and I've never had an issue finding a spot. You can access it by turning into the shopping plaza on the side further from Balboa Blvd. there is some parking on the road level on an open lot…
Any Vegan options here?
Yes my son is vegan and he has been able to have entrees for him.
We're looking for a place to invite about 20 to 25 people for a brunch. I remember this place from at least 20+ yrs ago and would just love to have our 30th anniversary here. Is there space for this without having to split up guests in sets of four?
Yes just ask for their back room it holds about 50-60 people, I had my son's Birthday there. Happy Anniversary, may you celebrate your 60th there as well. ??❤️
