    First time here. Place is clean. Busy so service takes awhile. We were seated almost right away but took about 5-10 minutes to get menus. Then another 5-10 minutes to place our order. Power kept going in and out about 3-5 times. Waiter was kind and the waitress that brought me the rest of my food. I got my entree maybe 10 minutes before my son, and had to ask for my fruit and toast twice because it wasn't brought with meal, got it after I was almost done with entree so 15 minutes. Waiter never came back except with check. Food was delicious. Fruit cup was fresh. Outdoor seating is nice but too and quieter than inside.

    Went 9am on a Sunday and got seated outside without issues but oh wow did a line surely start after! I heard it was 50 min wait by the time we were getting our food. Super friendly service, and dogs are allowed on the patio which is nice for fellow dog lovers Enjoyed the meat & potatoes skillet, super crispy and warm waffles. Very big portions.

    My oh my oh my OHHH MYYY!! Hands down, all hands down, one of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to. My family and I opted to sit outside and we were seated immediately on a Sunday morning. I cannot recall the name of our server unfortunately, but everyone that helped at our table were absolutely fantastic. Some of the best customer service I've experienced. I ordered the eggs benedict, while my sister ordered a smoothie and pancake on the side. I don't typically finish all my breakfast in one sitting, but I devoured my meal, plus the pancake, plus some cups of warm coffee and I would do it again too!! We already have plans to come back ASAP!

    You KNOW this is my third review in as many months but I just can't get over what a great time I've had here!! I took my sisters here for a fun breakfast and we had such a great time! We were greeted immediately, served immediately and treated like princesses! The inside is so chic and welcoming, and we sat at the tables in the middle, but there is also a patio for when the weather cooperates! We ordered different dishes and had to share of course and from the skillet to the waffles to the chile quilles the food was delicious and served with flare! As long as the food and the service stays this way we will continue to return!

    Waffle Place in Fresno is a refreshing experience compared to so many breakfast places. The food is 5 stars for sure, with huge portions, the place itself is bright and cheery. It Is spotlessly clean, well decorated and has a nice seating arrangement. The service was tops. I mentioned to my wife as we were enjoying all the above, that I could not see 1 thing that would deny a five star rating. Trying this wonderful restaurant will certainly bring you back for more

    I wanted to try this place years ago and never did till now. The staff is awesome! Super friendly and nice. They have a big menu selection with fresh squeezed juice, breakfast/lunch, and "healthier" options. I went with the k juice (carrot and orange) and it was bit thick, still good though. I ordered the French toast combo. It comes with a lot of food for a good price and taste. The atmosphere is nice. Music is playing and if it's someone's bday in your party, the staff sings happy birthday and customers join too. It's a bit small but they do have some outside sitting. They have another location in NW Fresno too!

    I was really diggin the energy of this place. Very relaxed setting. Immediately was greeted upon arrival and our waiter was great! The food was amazing and they have a very wide menu. I highly recommend visiting this place!

    Well, this is THE chicken place this side of Humboldt, TN, with all due respect to my Grandmother …read more The fried chicken is breaded, but not too much, fried all the way to the bone, but not burnt, & flavorful. In a word, delicious. The Mac N Cheese is baked & hot & tasty. My wife really liked the Collards & enjoyed her chicken thighs. Servers are very attentive. This place is really small & the ambiance is Dayton, OH funk (think Roger & Lakeside) which made this former Gem City resident happy. They only have a few tables so most of their business seems to be take out. Everything is cooled to order so there is a wait, but it is well worth it. I will be back to try the catfish. 5-stars

I'm not too close to Fresno but would recommend this to anyone who is in the area. I would make it a point to come back again if I were in the area for sure! My husband got the chicken and waffles while I ordered one of their specials of the day - rib tips. I got mashed potatoes and macaroni on the side (they were delicious but definitely regretted not trying other sides). The rib tips were perfect, smokey and tender. The fried chicken was sooo crispy and juicy. I do prefer crispier waffles, but it still went well with the very crispy chicken. The portions are plentiful, I had enough for a second meal.

Made it 1 week in advance and they were set and ready for us! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the food came out before the other half of the table even finished ordering I'm not kidding! The fried chicken combo (3 piece) was phenomenal! I got Mac n cheese with yams and cornbread and then added on a chili for extra $ Everything was piping hot so it was very fresh. The chicken was juicy as all hell and that flavor oh my gosh! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The yams were so sweet and flavorful all the way through, and the Mac n cheese had a nice crust with the perfect creamy texture to it! The cornbread was as good as any and the chili beans had the perfect kick! I do prefer a more soupy meat based chili myself but no complaints here! A lot of my coworkers had the fried fish and were RAVING about it! The type of fish they use really shows in the taste and quality! The spicy fried fish was good as well and the sea food gumbo was also delicious all according to the table! Prices are to be expected, it's not your cheapest option but babe it's the yummiest so get on over there! The inside is cute and cozy and they accommodated our party size nicely. They had some good music playing in the kitchen too which we appreciated! Nonetheless DONT MISS THIS PLACE! Please come support and give them your business!

    Country Waffles is one of those Fresno institutions that I have a soft spot for even when it's not…read moreperfect. the waffles are genuinely good. crispy, fluffy, the strawberry ones are dangerous. and for the price you really cannot complain, this is one of the more affordable sit down breakfast spots in town and the portions reflect that in a good way. where it gets complicated is the service. some mornings its smooth and friendly and you wonder what all the fuss in the other reviews is about. other mornings it feels understaffed and chaotic and you're watching your coffee sit empty for 15 minutes. I've had both experiences at this same location. closes at 1:30pm so you have to plan around that, no lazy afternoon brunch window here. the food itself though, when it comes out right, is comfort breakfast done simply and well. nothing trendy or overthought, just waffles and eggs and hash browns the way they've always been. I keep coming back which probably says enough. just go on a weekday if you can, skip the weekend rush, and order the waffles. that part never lets me down.

    Let me start off by saying the food wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It for sure wasn't worth 18 and…read moresome change. I got a chicken wrap that was almost all lettuce . The wrap was grilled but only on one part so it was cold on all the other sides. It wasn't bad but for the price I expect more chicken and bacon. It came with fries which were not cooked all of the way through. My server also dropped my check off with my food and never came back which was weird. I had to flag her down for a box and to actually take my card with the check she left with my food. That is weird service. The place seemed clean enough but the staff was not friendly. For the price you either have to have good food or good service and this place didn't have either.

    Very late review, 2 months late…read more I went with my niece and a couple friends one Saturday morning. No reservation so we waited a good amount of time but it wasn't so long that it was unbearable. Very cute waiting area. I didn't expect it to look as... modern? as it did? I'm not sure what I expected it to look like but it was nice inside. Staff was suuuper friendly. Every single one we spoke to. Considering how busy they were (constant flow of traffic/customers)... I appreciate that they can still smile and make you feel welcomed. I ordered the OG French Toast, my niece got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich on a Croissant. I can't remember what my friends ordered. Portions are very good. We could have easily split a plate (my niece and I) and be okay. Classic American breakfast. Everything was good/satisfying. We all enjoyed our meals. I also got their Brown Butter Iced Coffee-- saw one of the guys that worked there drinking one behind the counter and asked what it was, lol. I can't say it was the best coffee drink I've ever had but it was still pretty good. Not strong though. Though I've written a raving review, when it comes down to the food, it's not the best breakfast I've had around Fresno. It would not be a first choice for me personally but I also wouldn't mind coming back if my friends wanted to. Plus, there's so much more to try on their menu so it's not fair to judge overall food off one visit. For now, they are a solid 4.
