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

We got the Waffle Benedict and Waffle with Strawberries and Nutella. The waffle benedict came with smoked salmon and choice between a side of fruit or potatoes. The waffle was light and crispy and it tasted decent, but it wasn't especially noteworthy. The waffle with strawberries and nutella was even less memorable. Definitely was something that you could make at home. Some of the utensils/plates also had old crusted food on them which was a little off-putting. For something that didn't really stand out and could easily be recreated in your kitchen, I felt like it wasn't really worth the high price point for a simple waffle with basic toppings/ingredients. Concept is cute, but I'd save yourself and your wallet the trip. read more

They have a wide menu with many breakfast and brunch options. They offer indoor and outdoor dining and they are located in the plaza. They have an outdoor and roofed free parking lot. They provide a professional and friendly customer service. Joining the waitlist on Yelp in advance on weekends is recommended. read more

Sometimes finding the perfect breakfast spot isn't so easy. Do you go with the obvious choice or try something new? More Than Waffles is my favorite not-so-hidden gem. While they are tucked into the lower level of a busy complex, most locals know about this spot for their delicious waffles and other breakfast favorites. I'd tell you all about the various items, but I've been stuck on the same dish since my first visit here many years ago. I always order their Ika's (crepes). It's a savory crepe dish - the crepes are topped with turkey sausage, basil, scrambled eggs, feta and mozzarella cheese. Each bite is filled with melted cheese, fluffy eggs and silky celebs. It's a perfect blend of ingredients which is why I'm so in love with this dish. It's definitely not your traditional morning go-to. When I want a bit of sweetness, I order their plan waffle and enjoy it with some butter and syrup. The waffle has a light crunch on the outside and it's airy in the middle; light enough to enjoy and it doesn't sit heavy like other dishes. During your next breakfast decision, have more than waffles. read more

We joined the wait list on Yelp and were sat right away. Sue was our server. Service is on on point. Drinks came quick and our order was taken just as fast. I ordered a veggie scramble and it comes with a waffle. Kids ordered a kids meal with eggs and pan cakes and a Nutella waffle. Homemade jam and salsa comes to the table and they are both amazing. Prices are a bit high but the portions are great. Definitely coming back. read more

This place is a gem! Strongly believe they'd get more business if it weren't so hidden (since it's on the last floor under the shopping center) eating outside was nice, sunny and calm. There was basically no wait time bc the drinks and food came so quick. The waiter Sue was very welcoming and very friendly. The Tuscan Benedict was refreshing bc of the tomatoes and their house sauces was amazing, ordered more. Love waffles were great although if you aren't a chocolate person or have a sweet tooth I wouldn't order it bc there's a lot of chocolate. The latte was perfect and their coffee was great, the hazelnut flavor made it unique. The food is definitely worth the price. read more

Thank you for giving us a try, Samantha! It's great to see you…
06/01/2018 Another bookmark revealed. Belgium omelette with a side of waffle instead of toast. Comes with clarified butter for the waffle instead of whipped butter. Belgium omelette is similar to a Denver omelette but no bell peppers. It has bacon, mushroom, tomato, and cheddar cheese. Talk about protein omelette but carbs on the side in the form of my waffle. This waffle seems crunchy on the outside when cutting it with my fork then soft on the inside with that chewy softness. Overall, it's a great waffle that I should have considered ordering another one. Enough about the food, there are lots of patio seating outside. There are still tables inside if you prefer. Patio umbrellas over these tables are helpful too. My coffee gets refilled a lot so I have never seen the bottom of my cup. It seems like one of those neighborhood places where people help each other and strangers. An elderly man and his wife and medical aid get seated at a table. The table next to them help shuffle chairs around to make room for them to reach the table. Service is just as superb. Just goodness all around that I could respect. I'm already dreaming about these waffles. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places in town. Just like the name, they literally have more than just waffles. They have such a diverse menu, there is definitely something for everyone! This is a popular place and everyone I have gone there has been a wait, but they move through the line pretty quickly. They have inside and outside seating as well and you can request one over the another. The potato dishes are one of my favorite. My previous visit I got the Mediterranean one and it was so yummy. This visit I went with one of their breakfast combos that comes with eggs, home fries, bacon, and toast. My guest had the Hash Benedict which she said was delicious as well. They have parking in the front lot, but you can also park in their underground parking which will take you straight to the restaurant. 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. ??❤️
