When I make a list of favorites, whether they are restaurants, hotels or anything else, I separate them into chain and non-chain categories. And on the restaurant side, there are several chains I like just fine but often avoid if there are non-chain choices because I know the experience in the former will not be new. But the one principal advantage that chains offer is that you know what to expect when you walk in. There's not a chain where that's more true than Waffle House. The vast majority of Waffle Houses look exactly the same and offer the same menu. But I generally like Waffle House because they say what they do and do what they say. They offer basic diner fare that emphasizes breakfast at very affordable prices. And they make no pretense that if you're looking for what most people would consider healthy options, you're in the wrong place. Frying is the name of the game and green, whether its intentional or unfortunately unintentional, is the minority food color. There are a couple of vegetables in the pantry to make a stray salad, but the namesake waffle batter occupies the chief monarchical position here with it's princely companions of moderately-priced meats and potatoes. Having made the case about institutional continuity being particularly well maintained with this chain, this particular Waffle House stood out to me in a bit of a subtle way. While it was only moderately busy during our visit and the staff was not overly challenged in this respect, I still discerned that the service was particularly good. Our server was friendly, timely and unobtrusive while maintaining efficiency. I also listened a bit to what was happening with the workers. You can't help it in a Waffle House because you're up close and personal with the operations. There are not many walls in the building design. The manager struck me as being well organized and treated his staff as professionals, while maintaining expectations commensurate with good customer service. Granted, this is a prime facie observation during just a 45-minute visit, but it made a positive impression. This elevated my rating of this location from a 3-star to a 4-star which, with just one or two exceptions, is the highest rating I give a chain. One major feature of Waffle Houses is the ability to get in, get out and get on with your life when you need to. Their highway exit locations are persuasive evidence of this. That was certainly the case here. There were no delays in our dining experience. The other feature we expected, i.e., high value, was also part of our experience. Pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon and coffee were the features of our orders. The food was up to our expectations and we basically got out of there after spending about $11 per person, give or take, with food, drink, tax and tip included. This particular Waffle House is close to some of our relatives, so I am sure we will be back. After all, why not? When you need a quick meal on your way in or out of town, it's a great option. read more

There is actually nothing good to say about this experience! We walked in to dirty floors and counters as well as a very chilly dining room. We both ordered the Philly Steak Bowls which had a little steak, a little cheese and onion, and a lot of hash browns and each one was approximately $10 each. While service was decent, they were definitely understaffed. The menu is not as varied as it was years ago and we will probably never return. read more

Breakfast and watch them make it with basic ingredients. Good coffee and sweet tea. Good grits. Service is good could smile more.

Place looks like a dirty circus and the music is up loud and employees refuse to turn it down. The cooks just stand there looking at you like you're stupid The waitresses look like clowns and the ceilings are dirty. Another worker showed up looking like they just crawled out of bed and showed up for work read more

I had the best dinner breakfast ever! The very kind lady offered suggestions on the hash browns , excellent! I like peanut butter on my waffles, Ding ding she suggested peanut butter chips. My only regret is not catching her name, a true asset to the location. Thank you ! read more

Brandt Pike. Super loud music and plate stacking. I literally had to plug my ears several times bc the noise was hurting them. No smothered (cheese) on my hash browns, toast in sandwich not toasted. My husband didn't even get his waffle. We asked to take it home after they brought the bill before the waffle. Very disappointing experience at this location. read more

Waffle House - Toasted Texas cheese. - Diners Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

My youngest brother and I were having some brother time we decided to stop in a Waffle House on our way to his house. We stopped at two that were closed possibly due to the Scamdemic. Then we found this one. As it turned out this one was packed. I'm guessing partly because the other two were closed but most likely because a lot of pot smoking concert attendees had the munchies. My brother put a couple dollars in the jukebox. He played a wide variety of music. The crowd REALLY enjoyed his selections. They were singing , dancing, giving Thumbs upand high fives. Our waitress was an older woman probably near my age. I'm having trouble recalling her name but I'm sure it will come to me. My brother had steak and eggs. He said the steak was cooked just right. I had bacon and eggs over easy with hashbrowns and toast. All were good . My bacon and eggs were cooked just right. I would have preferred more bacon but didn't want to pay extra. My toast was just right. My brother had grits instead of potatoes. He said they were well prepared. It was a fun way to end our evening. I'll definitely stop by this location next to I visit family in Dayton. If you stop in this Waffle House tell them George from San Diego said hello... read more

This Waffle House is like ALL Waffle Houses - Quick, Cheap and consistently good 'late night' or 'on the road' food. I stopped in for a quick bite of breakfast and some coffee at about 9:00 AM and it was a fairly busy morning for them. Still, I was waited on almost immediately and I had a cup of coffee poured as soon as I turned the cup right side up. That's what W.H. is all about, they don't mess around. I ordered Hashbrowns - Covered, Smothered and Capped (Cheese, Onions and Mushrooms) with a scrambled egg. Time from placing order to gettin' in my belly: 'bout 5 minutes. Satisfaction Level: High. Pricing is cheap, about $10 for 1 scrambled egg, the hash, coffee and a S.E.C sandwich to-go. Waffle House is my go-to place when road-trippin' south. read more

This Place is always busy. Several parties were waiting for tables but we got seated right away at the counter. Staff were friendly, Efficient and calm despite being very busy. Waffles are very tasty but this isn't the joint if you're on any kind of diet. read more

I love supporting small business but the Waffle House on Brandt Pike has the worst customer service. I had already walked in and was seated before everyone else. When I saw people getting served before me I was livid! I just go vacated my seat and told the server ma'am I was here before all the people getting served before me. Her reply was I'm sorry but she still kept serving the other customers. They were having issues with who was serving who. It's sad customer service has significantly depleted with some establishments. Most certainly the worst service ever. Plus every time I go there. Many of the employees were gone with the exception of on cook who is awesome. read more

5 stars for amazing food. Loved the perfectly cooked over easy eggs, cheesy grits, and extra crispy bacon. My fiance says the gravy is better than Bob Evans (plus they charge $3 at Bob Evans and they added the gravy to his hash browns for free here). Our waitress, Roni, kept my coffee cup full!!! They did have a loud waitress named Carla who wore her mask incorrectly under her nose and kept pulling it under her mouth to talk. She should probably just stay home if she can't follow guidelines. read more

Paid for my hash browns to have the works ended up with cold and burnt with cold peppers onions no gravy just straight outta the freeze hash browns. Do Better Cadillac Man and Chevy Blazer Lady. We was the only ones there, Like how do you mess up the only order you had there?? The 30 mins we were there we were the only ppl there AND!!!I gave y'all arse a Tip!!! SHAME ON Y'ALL!!!! read more

They forgot my waffle. There were gnats flying in the store, Not only that but she didn't even try to make it right. Sad.

Server has a bad attitude. She brought half of our order then disappeared. Had to ask other staff for the remainder of our order. Had to ask other staff for a drink refill, had to ask other staff for the check! This server did collect my money though; I asked if she was having a busy day, she said "about average". I would hate to see her on a bad day! read more

In the last 2 wks. have went to different Waffle Houses (2x 202 location & 1x Vandalia). I was lead to believe that Roni, from this Brandt location that the prices have gone up. I always order exactly the same thing ($11.50 total). On May 10th was told by Roni that my order was $12.06, and that prices had gone up. I really liked her but obviously my $2.00 tip wasn't enough for her. read more

Exeptional Waffle House meal today, service was great and the meal was prepared to perfection with little wait although the restaurant was full. As cook Q proclaimed to his chef counterpart Jay "I'm on fire today!" They certainly were. Bacon was ordered extra crispy and was perfect. The over easy eggs looked like an ad for the national egg counsel. And the signature pecan waffle prepared with a perfectly crispy exterior and soft on the inside. The staff was cheerful and efficient, a great Waffle House dining experience enjoyed by all. Thank you Waffle House! read more

I am a pretty big fan of Waffle House that spans over the past 35 years. The best part of this place is that they never got all prefab. You can get the same fresh cooked food as you got 35 years ago! read more

love this place food was great service was awesome no type of waiting for ANYTHING 5 ***** from me loved it

The staff at this waffle house are exceptionally good. Service was quick. For fast food I was surprised how good the eggs and waffle were. The syrup wasn't from a maple tree but that's my only complaint. For a quick stop off the 70 this was a pleasant surprise. read more

I enjoyed the people that worked there and the food was mediocre. I appreciated them.

Over the year's, Waffle House has remained the same. You can always count on being greeted when you walk in; a friendly home style environment; friendly staff; fast food; really reasonable prices. They're always quick to fix any human error in food if it's too done, or not done enough. They are open 365 days a year, even on Christmas! And yes, I have gone here on Christmas morning for breakfast! It was busy but good. read more
