    Finally got over to Smashed Waffle! What a cute place and on such a quaint downtown Greenville street. The menu is right by the door and very clear. I knew I was ordering a six pack and ordering was very easy. The employee was very helpful and friendly and fast! The waffles were served hot and fresh - so yummy! They were all delicious. We chose dessert-type waffles but they also offer savory! Parking is hit or miss, I was fortunate to find a spot right down the street. Definitely worth stopping in!

    I'm in love with the concept and this cute little eatery! Son was over the moon about his Happy Go Cluckey. Being indecisive, we built our own half dozen. Two Pumpkin Spice, two Quilted Pigs, a Cereal Thriller and a Hot Stuff. The Quilted Pig had me looking and sounding three types of crazy! You know something is g-o-o-d when you simultaneously do the happy dance and hum! Waffle exterior slightly crispy with warm, soft interior, smh and wiping a tear! Suggestion for the owner(s), waffles with fresh fruit toppings, yum!

    This place is amazing!!! Their waffles are so good and definitely worth the money, make sure to try these out if you're nearby.

    I've been coming to greensville lately and always try to find new spots to eat. I can say by FAR this is the BEST place i've been in the city for breakfast. The staff is courteous and energetic and the food is phenomenal. Their signature syrup is amazing and the hash browns are perfectly seasoned and you don't need ketchup.

    Mer with a few friends in Greenville, NC and they recommend that I try this place. I enjoyed Smash Waffles. The restaurant is located near the East Carolina University Campus. Great location to be. They have indoor seating and place looks clean which is great! Their health score is about 97-98. The staff were very friendly and the man who took our order displayed great customer service. He was patient as we looked through the menu. He recommended for us to get the half a dozen waffle tray which includes their famous five waffles and the waffle of the week. I was leaning towards the healthier option; Swisskey. Egg white + turkey sausage + Swiss. I also had their Insane Lattes; Full Moon. White chocolate + chocolate. Literally this place is waffle phenomenal. They don't use regular waffle batter but use a special dough that they hand roll everyday. Talking with the staff, I learned they went to Belgium to learn how to master the Belgium waffle technique. Aside from the waffle platter, we got an ice cream sandwhich waffle that was amazing (campfire style) and my girlfriend got the Chatty Patty which is a breakfast style waffle sandwhich with a sausage patty, ham and cheddar cheese. There's literally something here for everyone and you can have every meal here - they even have a chicken breast waffle combination. Drink wise they serve specialty made lattes, their coffee comes from a nitro draft and they also do a cool hot shot challenge (you get to keep the shot glass). I really enjoyed my visit here, it's a fun place to come here with the family or with friends!

    Nice place for a quick breakfast sandwich. Small cafe' with three tables for seating 15 and a high top bar to seat 6. Lucky I was the only person when I first arrived so I received my sandwich quickly. The customers who came in after me didn't have to wait long either. I'm sure if there would have been a crowd the lone cashier acting as preparer would have fallen behind. I'm sure this is more of a college student cafe' as all the tables have outlets for charging electronics. I'm glad school is not in session.

    We were visiting Greenville for a minor medical procedure and after we got done with it, we wanted to have a quick bite to eat. I got this recommendation from Yelp for the Smashed Waffle Company so we decided to give it a try. Located in a gentrified neighborhood, this restaurant focuses on creating absolutely delicious waffles. We tried both the waffle sandwiches (chicken) and also took some dessert waffles home. The food is hot and fresh and nice prepared. I enjoyed the spicy kick in the chicken waffles that bit but was not overpowering. The homemade sauces to accompany the sandwiches are awesome so you can adjust the taste to your liking. Coffee is excellent here too. We enjoyed the dessert waffles after we got home. Definitely a must stop for our future visits to Greenvile.

    Mehhhhhh. Cute spot, quick service, but both waffles I had- both a dessert waffle and the egg and cheese breakfasty one were both very bland in taste. The menu looks so good and they have a good amount of combinations for the waffle sammiches, unfortunately I wasn't impressed or full. What I loved most was the friendly atmosphere, I came here later in the evening before closing with two of my best friends and my godbabies and there was plenty of seating for two car seats and everyone- employees and patrons were so sweet and friendly!

    We came here on a whim and don't regret it at all. I had 3 of the sweet six (The OG, Sweet Sin, Cereal Thriller) and I loved them. I have a moderate sweet tooth and they were definitely satisfying my friend had the Chatty Patty and he enjoyed that. His daughter had the Cowabunga and she ate two! If a kid eats it, you know it's good lol. Can't wait to get back to Greenville to have some more

    Chicken Lil's

    If you are hungry order more than you normally would - like 2 chicken lils- but my son loved them and thought they were delicious! The fruity pebbles one was super sweet - but the BFF breakfast sandwich was yummy

    I'm honestly surprised that Starlight Cafe still operates the way it does. The menu has been the…read moresame for years -- and not in a "classic staples" kind of way. It just feels stagnant and uninspired. Nothing new, nothing seasonal, nothing exciting. If you've been once, you've basically seen it all. The food itself was bland and boring. Dishes lacked seasoning and creativity, and nothing stood out as memorable. For the prices they charge, you expect at least some depth of flavor, but everything felt flat. Service was also slow, even though it wasn't especially busy. We waited far too long for basic things, and the staff didn't seem particularly attentive or professional. There was a noticeable lack of urgency and overall polish. Overall, it feels like a place that hasn't evolved in years -- same menu, same energy, same issues. Unfortunately, it just doesn't live up to expectations.

We ended our amazing dinner sharing an incredible white chocolate bread pudding. The place is kitschy & cool, taking full advantage of a busy storefront display. The service was perfect, not too invasive or pushy, just the right amount of southern hospitality and menu knowledge (we got the steak sauce on the side and the amazing dessert as suggested!). We look forward to returning.

We ordered the trifecta (waffle, eggs, bacon), kids pancake (cc pancake, sausage, fruit, OJ), kids eggs and sausage and an extra side of fruit. It was delivered quick and everything (aside from that 1 sausage that looks slightly overcooked) was fresh and hot!! I'll start with the positive- that OJ was so fresh, I wish I had known how good it was going to be because I would've ordered 3 more!! The bacon was cooked perfectly, the pancake was huge, cooked well and had a great pancake/ choc chip ratio, the eggs were still soft and the waffle was soft and very tasty! Whatever the berry compote was that came with the waffle, was amazing!!! Seriously, so good. The downside- I can't review the fruit at all... because it was completely missing. The fruit side with the kids meal and the full extra fruit side i ordered were both absent. A bummer as our kids do love their fruit, but DoorDash made it right which I appreciate. Can't speak to service or atmosphere of the restaurant itself since we didn't dine in. Overall, this place was great, and we will 100% be eating it again! Knocking 1 star off just since the fruit to the kids meal and the extra side of it was missing, but I'll update my review next time we eat!

Think Waffle House energy, but local and without the franchise feel. You could tell people actually come there because they enjoy the food. Now as a coffee enthusiast, I'll be honest, the only hiccup for me was the coffee selection. It's straight black coffee only. Not a deal breaker, just don't walk in expecting a latte menu. I ordered the pork chop breakfast (and if you're judging pork... respectfully keep scrolling ). It came with grits, toast, and eggs. The pork chop was good, eggs were cooked right, toast hit the spot, and the grits just needed a little salt. Overall? It's not where you go for an aesthetic brunch with edible flowers and $18 pancakes. It's where you go when you want a GOOD breakfast that feels familiar, filling, and real. And honestly, there's something refreshing about that. Would definitely go back. Greenville needs places like this.
