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

Found this yelping and it was a great find. Did not wait long because I added myself to the waiting list on Yelp. The waffles were crunchy and light like I like them. Coffee was spot on! I really liked that the waitress went out of her way to tell me she would help me take a pic of us, she was very nice and even told us where to sit to get the best background, customer service goes a long way and this place was awesome! read more

Love how light, crispy, and delicious the waffles are! Don't miss the homemade Strawberry jam. Waffles come free with omelets, which are delicious too. Indoors the atmosphere is like grandmas 1970's dining room, which is fine, but i recommend the patio with its gardens and fountains. There's a wait on weekends do make s reservation on Yelp first. read more

I have been going to More Than Waffles for over 12 years now and it is my family's favourite breakfast restaurant. Every time we go it's perfect from the food to the service, it's 10/10 and I would definitely recommend it and I can assure you everything is delicious from the fresh salsa to the homemade strawberry jam. We loved it so much make a booking as it really is beautiful! read more
Do you miss your Grandma's hugs as much as I do? While it may be impossible to recreate that exact feeling, breakfast at More Than Waffles comes pretty darn close to channeling Grandmother love. First of all, there's the decor: flowers and knick-knacks and holiday-themed teddy bears recreate that little-old-lady feeling of warmth and coziness without being too cheezy. Then, there's the service: warm and attentive and prompt. Finally, there's the menu: delicious breakfast classics like your grandmother might have made including waffles and French toast and pancakes and more. The coffee is excellent and bottomless, as all coffee should be. It's the Grandma trifecta of cuteness, caring and cooking. Free parking in the lot. (Your grandmother would love that too.) read more

I love this place! I've been here several times and I've never not once had a bad experience, meal or just anything negative. The servers are so great, they have inside and outside seating. It's always super busy but it's well worth it. The waffles are delicious, the bruschetta sandwich is to die for, and the crepes are sooo good. Pets are cool to hangout under your table in the outdoor sitting area. It's just always a bit of a wait for seats, and it gets full super fast. This place is a hidden gem in the valley and its a must try! read more

Not only did I start drooling when I saw my Caramel Apple Waffle, but it did not disappoint my palate. I purchased a breakfast combo with bacon and eggs over-easy. I was in breakfast heaven. Everything was scrumptious and perfectly cooked to my satisfaction. The house coffee is a medium hazelnut roast, that is delicious. I drink my coffee black, and generally prefer a darker roast, but this coffee was so good that I had 2.5 cups! The service was wonderful. Our waitress kept our glasses full and a genuine smile on her face. Additionally, she had impeccable timing. This dining experience was such a pleasure. read more

OK we see and understand the hype now. My husband and I don't live in the area, but came here to try their Gourmet omelette and the famous LOVE waffle-- it blew our minds. Truly didn't expect the waffle to be crispy, but also soft. The chocolate is so fresh. The whipped cream tasted like it was made from coconut, but I could be wrong. I love omelettes and eat them often so I mean it when I say this one was delish. The staff here is also incredibly kind, patient, and enthusiastic. The owner also is a server, so that tells me good leadership already when the person at the top does the regular labor too. It's a super cute restaurant inside as well so many reasons that led to my 5 stars! read more

OMG! These waffles were delish! I ordered the Walnut Pecan one, and did have vanilla ice cream added. My hubby had the Mighty Meat scramble and I tasted it, that too was delish and portion sizes was great!! And service was great!! I love that we had (I believe it was the manager), comes by and asked how everything is!! There is outdoor dining, as we sat outside. I love the fact that you can go to Yelp and put yourself on the waitlist, as this place is quite busy(I can see why). OH!!! And their coffee...my goodness their coffee is sooooooo Yummy...I learned that they grind the beans fresh and then had the coffee brewed, the flavored the day I went was Vanilla Nut, not sure if this is their regular flavor or if they switch it. Their salsa(made freshly there) and strawberry jam...can I say Chef's Kiss!! Parking is also free!!! Service was also great because, coffee was so yummy that I asked for a To-go cup(I was planning to pour what I had left in my cup, can't let it go to waste), the server brought me a fresh cup of coffee!!! How sweet is that!?! Okay, I'm done now. Thank you:) read more

Hidden gem!!!! Restaurant is located inside a shopping center towards the back(Encino town center). We've been coming here a few years now for breakfast and they NEVER disappoint! I've tried a few different meals here but I have to say my top favorite are the Ultima waffles and the chilaquiles, always on point. I love how fluffy their waffles are and the fruit is very fresh. Food comes out very quickly, nice hot coffee keeps getting refilled as needed and we always get excellent customer service.They also offer a full lunch menu and use a good variety of organic products. I suggest topping your waffles with their homemade jam...Amazing!!! Can't wait to stop by again soon. 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. ??❤️
