It's not often that I eat breakfast. However it's Christmas Day and I'm craving a waffle. Placing an order at Waffle House can be challenging for me, with so many options, I decided on a pecan waffle, my family chose peanut butter, and original waffles along with hash browns, eggs with cheese, and chicken sausage. Considering it was a holiday, I placed my order quickly after less than 30 minutes I was out the door. Let's talk about the consistency of the pecan waffle. Fluffy texture, tangy taste from the buttermilk, and filled with pecans. 5/5 Service 5/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Food 5/5 The parking lot is rather small read more

My Sister and I like to come to the Waffle House for a late night bite. I usually order the all star special. The sausage patties are real good. I also get eggs with toast and hash browns. It of course comes with a waffle. The meal usually comes out quick. I also order the iced tea which is pretty good. Overall the food is good. The servers are friendly and helpful. It is definitely an old school type diner place. Waffle House is a nice casual place to eat. They also have dinner options but have not tried those yet. read more

This place deserves NO STARS! I was in a hurry and stopped in for a quick breakfast on Thursday morning. I sat at the bar where there was one other person. There were two people in a booth. There were 4 people working. Everyone IGNORED me. Take my advice, skip this place. They don't need your business. Got to FAT JACKS down the street. You get IMMEDIATE service as soon as you sit down. They smile at you. The food can't be beat. read more

The chocolate chip waffle was delicious! The scrambled eggs were not my favorite. I liked the grits they were warm and creamy. The bacon was tasty and nice and crispy. The service was very good and attentive. We only had a short amount of time and we were in and out in thirty minutes. It was a great experience. read more

Third review and best I could give again was a "2". The workers are friendly. Several of them are real hustlers. They had a great "host" helping with seating, even opening doors. He helped clean tables quickly. I wanted breakfast, friend wanted lunch, which they accommodate well. When I ordered breakfast the server changed my order to incorporate a lower cost deal which I appreciated. After a long wait due to crowd, my meal arrived first and to maintain heat, I began eating right away. Here the issues began. Ketchup container empty and had to wave it in the air to get someone to replace it (though 8 behind counter were waiting for orders). Once replaced the hash browns had cooled off. I'd ordered "mothered" which adds onions and we found almost a teaspoon of onions buried at the bottom (about 5 diced onion chips). Not nearly enough for the meal (not sure of upcharge for this?) Told the waitress but she disappeared. Two eggs cooked perfectly (50c upcharge per egg due to current cost so $12 meal was $13. (One table grumbled loudly it up'd their price $4 for 8 eggs. Two slices of barely toasted toast with one jelly pat delivered. Bacon very undercooked "blubbery", 3 slices. Edible but not tasty. Greasy. They deserved a pat dry. Waffle Houses don't deal with rye bread. The meal was edible and I was hungry. They could do better in the cook department and the puny onions won't bring me back. My friend got a patty melt and the smothered hashbrowns. She lucked into about 2 tsps grilled onions, still puny amount. She had asked for wheat bread instead of Texas Toast so they had remade them but only told her upon bringing them so late--She ate after I had finished. She found it "ok" not great. She had told the server the coffee was not great. The waitress offered to make a fresh pot but friend said she was fine, finished. Waitress said she'd take it off her bill, but did not. $3 cup and her patty melt with hashbrowns was $17.50. Costs were too high for the lower quality. This is the reason it was six years for a return. I do appreciate the friendliness of the servers and the clean table. Food has to improve to a quality finish. Toast the toast, add more onions, keep ketchup filled, get the order right, etc. read more

Public Health Concern... I made all attempts to call the local store and corporate office, no luck. As such, I share, beyond the belligerent, in appropriate language shouted out in front of young children, etc. (Cook - Name starts with B) Needs to understand there are families present when blasting the "F" word. I am not sure about all of a cook's open boils, should be handling food, especially, while sweating and swearing. Health concerns: 1. B (Cook) shakes hands with his gloved hand and continues to prepare food. 2. Cook Picks up a soiled broom, no handwash or glove change and continues to prepare food. 3. Dishwashers (Servers) - piling plate after plate, without being dried.... (Bacteria). read more

You can't miss this Waffle House, it's the biggest one I've ever seen. It's also not yellow, it's more of a burnt umber color. The young lady that waited on us said it used to be an auto supply store and that they use some of the extra space in back for training other stores. Because of it's size, it has more seating and a larger waiting area. The place was really clean and smelled good. They had ads for their "Angus Burgers" in the window, so we decided "What the heck" and ordered some. I had the cheeseburger with bacon and my husband had the double cheeseburger. Both had hash browns on the side, of course. They were just really good, diner style hamburgers. For the price we paid, it was equivalent to fast food joints, but in my opinion, better quality. We were happy with a hot, fresh, fast, and very affordable lunch. read more

Food and service was great and friendly; good value for what you get; brought my family back the next day and they felt the same.

Filthy. Absolutely the dirtiest restaurant ever. Tables dirty, food on floor, flies. We left.

Sondra is an amazing cook. I've seen her in action several times over psst few months. She puts out hot food that looks and tastes good. She has also diffused confrontation between drunks and keeps a smile on the whole time. read more

This is by far one of the worst waffle houses thus far. I know that waffle house isn't a 5 star restaurant. But this one needs to be closed. It's the newest one in the city and the only one on the south side. But you'll be better off going to the north side. They are not allowing to go orders due to being short staffed. Its approximately 8-10 staff members working. That's the most staff I've ever seen at a waffle house. On another visit, I was told they are short staff so they are closing. Just close this location. Jeesh. The south side folks thought they were winning with a waffle house being closer. Absolutely not. I read more

Avoid like the plague. Service is horrible, unless you are someone they want to serve. If you are not that person, you will sit there and wait, while everybody else gets served. Horrible service!! read more

This place do not follow CDC protocols and they don't let us take our food to go. There was a place where we could have seated but they said no. All of the booths were used and it had messy tables. Overall customer service was trash, we were waiting in front and the cashier didn't notice us until a few minutes. This place is not good and do not recommend!!!! read more

Food was not the greatest. Service was slow and took for ever to wait on table to take our order. Not what I expected out of a new location in Lakeland. Will not be going back. read more

This has to be the nicest waffle house I have ever been to. Not only was it clean, the staff was young and happy! Not what America has come to expect from this chain. As with most waffle houses, the food was good, cheap, and served quickly. I cannot stress enough how different this location is, even when you pull into the parking lot you can tell that this one is not the normal off-the-highway diner, this one is great. Will definitely be back. read more

When I went there the place was spotless. The help was clean and the food was excellent. Service was quick and exact. I can't speak for every employee but The chef and wait person I had were excellent. read more

At first glance, my vehicle climbing into the parking lot, it seemed an eternity beckons to deliver our feast. The treasure for the bill. Waffle House delivers the usual spectacular meal service and eclectic patrons. iTunes jukebox rocks tunes and some are just 1 credit. read more

Worst experience ever. This was the first and last time I will ever go to a Waffle House restaurant. To start off, as soon as we entered the few booths available had old plates no one removed, until we sat down then some one came around to pick them up after I commented to my wife that the booths all had plates on them and looked dirty. It was not a busy morning, only a few customers, yet no seemed worried about cleaning our or the other booths. Needles to say, after waiting 15 minutes to atleast have coffee or tea offered to us we left without ordering anything after another group arrived and got quick service and we didnt even know who our waitress was. Yet alot of the staff was either just standing around or looking busy doing nothing. We left to IHOP and ate there instead, big difference in how we were treated. read more

This is a brand new Waffle House, and it's a shame how bad they are doing. I wanted to call and place an order, but they phone kept going to voicemail (which hangs up on you and tells you to come in or call back) I kept calling and it kept hanging up on me. I called IHop (which is busier) and they placed my order right away. I will be eating there tonight read more

It's been over 30 years since I'd been to a Waffle House & it will be another 30 before I go back. This one is in a great location and being new it's clean. The service wasn't good we had to ask for everything more then once. We both had waffles blueberry and pecan and they are nothing special just average. read more

Food was good and staff friendly. However the the servers were Not wearing gloves but Did wear masks.

I went to The Waffle House on 2313 South Florida avenue. I had biscuits and gravy and hash browns. The biscuits and gravy were delicious!! The hash browns for cooked to perfection. Oh I also had a slice of chocolate cream pie, it was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be eating there again!!! read more

Food fair, prices ok, music blaring way too loud. The staff is courteous, fairly quick service. Probably won't return because of loud music.

Service is on point and the food is great! Our server was super patient with our very intoxicated friend. She also found my phone and was awesome enough to hold on to it till I could get it. She deserves a damn raise. read more

I ate there. the food was not great, I had; "all-star special" scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast, waffle plus, ham. also the chili. the chili I didn't like at all. just something about it. the eggs, ham, and hash browns were overcooked. the waffle was undercooked. the server was nice but not attentive. she took the order, the cook brought main the food. the server brought the chili. the cook brought my meal in the pieces. first the eggs, HB, then toast, ham and last the waffle. the server didn't come back to check on us. i got up and ask for the check. also, I asked for a copy of the check and they don't give you one. but, you can take a picture of it with your cell phone. how stupid is this setup? 2018 and a restaurant can't make/print you a copy of the check. I think the place needs to be closed down. fixed! then have a grand reopening with new people. "people go to IHOP down the road. the food/service is so much better." read more
