To those people that live in the south, "Waffle House" is a household name. They are EVERYWHERE. And with well over 2,000 locations, primarily situated in the southeastern part of the United States, this no-frills, greasy spoon, cholesterol induced comfort food has been filling up Americans since the 1950's. The location I am focusing on is located on Sycamore View Rd. in the east part of Memphis just a mile from Highway 40. Since I was flying in from out of town, my hotel was in close proximity to this particular Waffle House. I came here on the evening of Friday, September 24th 2021 at around 10:00pm and was starving. Since the dining area was closed for the evening, I went to the walk-up window and placed my order. I ended up going with a breakfast platter that consisted of two scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, white toast (that included jelly), and of course their famous single waffle. Prices here are affordable beyond recognition; my whopping platter with a soda only cost me about $10 for everything. All my food was ready within a very quick 5 minutes. Once I took the quite drive back to my hotel, I immediately was flabbergasted just how much food they give you here. Everything was piping hot and ready to be consumed. The eggs were cooked perfectly while the toast had a pretty hefty amount of salted butter prior to my spreading the sweet jelly over it. Bacon was greasy as expected as I assumed this stuff was cooked in lard. Hash browns were crispy on the outside with a soft texture on the inside. The waffle was fluffy and sweet and with their own house syrup, that only compliments to the added sweetness. This place is true southern comfort food at its finest. I can only imagine the amount of calories, sodium, and cholesterol I consumed on this platter as it is not the type of food to be eaten every day (or in my case, at night). But for the price, portions, and overall taste of this classic American staple, I was definitely not disappointed. My rating for the Sycamore View Rd. "Waffle House" in Memphis, TN is a solid four-stars. read more

So this is not for the healthy. This is just straight delicious ness. And it's freshly cooked right in front of you!! My favorite meal. The ham and cheese omelet with the hash browns smothered covered diced and peppered. If you know you know!! Then the pecan pancake to make your breakfast masterpiece complete. Now it's a lot of food so make it two meals and then you get to enjoy it twice. Service is fast and efficient. The ambience is diner style with a Juke box. Not many seats so you may have to take it to go. Oh and now they serve the simply juices. read more

Waffle House food slaps leaving a bad review because it's not really a 24/7 sit down meal. They do Togo only at night and on top of that charge a 20% gratuity. 10% for doing a Togo meal and 10% for something else. It's just this location that I've seen so probs won't ever come back to this one. read more

Service was really good, for the first time I've been here, employees are really respectful and always attentive if we needed any refills, or how our food was! read more

Every time I show up to try dining here, they aren't open for dine-in.... midnight, 7 AM, 8PM... doesn't matter. This place fails at being a Waffle House. read more

There is nothing fancy about Waffle House. It is the proverbial greasy spoon diner that has spread throughout the South a d I believe their customers would not change a thing about Waffle House. My biggest reason for coming to Waffle House is their home fries, which o must add various toppings. I usually went with their patty melt, though this last time I went with a breakfast. Waffle House is a great place to either begin a day or end a night. Either way, you won't go away hungry. read more

absolutely bussin, food demolished. loved the ambiance here the music selection is an A+. great service they are so real for this. read more

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CARRY OUT ORDER!!! Tried to call an order in, no one answered the phone. So husband went there, ordered, and waited. When he got to the car he realized that they had left out his waffle. He went back in and got it. When I opened my food, it was incorrect. He had ordered a plain omelet for me. No meat, no cheese, just egg. It had more cheese than egg. And what egg there was was saturated in oil. Tried to call them again, big surprise, no answer. Husband offered to take the cheese omelet back and get me what was ordered. It wasn't even worth it so I just threw it away. Waste of my money and waste of his time. read more

The service was pleasant and food was tasty. I found it distasteful when one of the employees was disrespecting the cook due to the customer food not being prepared in front of others. It's much more appropriate to pull them aside to have that converse. read more

My road trip crew and I were very excited for this stop, and it did not disappoint. All of us ordered the waffles and devoured them in record time. The hashbrowns were so good that I saved every last one in a take-out box for later, and we also found the bacon to be remarkable. The people working were great cooks and sweet as hell. I can safely say, they worked hard to make this waffle house a waffle home. read more

Waffle House - people sitting at the counter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Good Food, Fast Service and Great Price!!! My type of place!!! My husband and I opted to cross the parking lot of our hotel in Memphis and go to the Waffle House for breakfast. We haven't graced their doors before in Nashville and it has been awhile since we even sat down in a Waffle House anywhere..so why not?? We went in and grabbed a booth at the end and was immediately greeted by our server to get our drink orders. I opted for my usual Unsweetened tea with lemon (no lime here) and Tony ordered Black Coffee HOT and Strong!!! While looking over the menu, I grabbed my android so I could figure out the points for my meal choice. I opted for the BLT with out mayo and got the mayo on the side and no fries. Tony opted for a couple Blueberry Waffles and a large Glass of cold milk with maple syrup. We both agreed it was a very good meal and it was only $13 with taxes. Can't beat that with a stick!!!! and the food was really good, the service was fast and friendly..would definitely eat here again!!! Highly recommend to all in the Memphis area or anywhere!!! read more

Service terrible. Older lady very rude laughing at me. Flipped me the bird when I left. Charged 2 people $1.00 each for water. When I asked her about it she got nasty. Very unprofessional. Will never go back there. Water is complimentary anywhere else. She says they just started charging for water. There is nothing posted anywhere about the up charge for water. Not on menu either. Waffle house has lost my business permanently. Post the changes at front door. In addition,she solicited a tip when I went to pay. If I was not charged surprisingly for water and treated rudely they would have gotten a tip. I always tip 20 percent any time I eat out. read more

My husband and I stopped at this location while on a trip to Arkansas. I was shocked at the filth and dirt EVERYWHERE on the floors, walls, etc. I really can't see how they would pass a health inspection! Grease was smeared on the walls and while we were eating they carried a big bucket of grease and set it by the office door. There was also some kind of employee problem going on right in front of us and you could tell things were getting heated. Our waitress was very apologetic because they couldn't get our order right and had to go back several times to remake our meal. My bacon was burnt and my waffle was so thin that it almost broke into pieces. I have never had an experience like this before and think management needs to close this location and CLEAN EVERYTHING and get new staff! We won't be back. YUCK!! read more

I'm here on Saturday night Sunday morning at 1:20 am just got off work n their closed garbage ass Memphis people

A recommended spot? Lord help Memphis. Want a salad? Good luck. They ran out of lettuce by 8pm. Decent # browns and the typical greasy burger. It's a Waffle House. Why would Yelp allow this to be listed a recommended spot? There's a McDonalds a block down. And a Ruby Tuesday 2 blocks down. A far better choice. read more

Look we all know th e food at the waffle house is what it is.... completely uninspired fare... but it certainly isn't bad... who doesn't love breakfast for dinner? I haven't been to all that many Waffle Houses, they are all pretty much the same, indifferent waitstaff, and dirty as heck floors, counters, dishes, silverware and pretty much any other surface. Now this particular WH has to have the absolute worst "servers" in the damned world... Ya'll are making just over 2 bux an hour plus tips... at least freaking pretend to care if you have a customer. And stop the constant, and I do mean constant fighting with each other as to who has what table. If this store is corporate owned, they should be ashamed... if it is franchised, the owner needs to pull his head out and see his damned store... this place is a car wreck at best. read more

First of all, when you choose a Waffle House, you don't expect certain things. You don't expect a super clean place. You don't expect to have a 4-star meal. You don't expect to get the cleanest glasses. Having said that, this place is no exception. The service was nice. The young man who seemed to be the manager was very friendly. The food was typical for the location, and we had a decent meal. There was a lot of traffic and the location seemed to be popular with the locals. read more

We had a call in order, and they were incredibly polite on the phone. So polite. They even repeated the order back to us. That's incredibly unusual based on my previous (i.e. extensive) Waffle House dining experiences. The food was delicious. We have been to MANY Waffle House locations, and this may be my favorite yet. read more

Nice people but the food was not worth the money, waffle was EXTREMLY thin and burnt as hell, toast wasn't even toasted it was just warmed with globs of butter still cold, and eggs were a 3 out of 10 read more

Its waffle house food is good service was good prices cant be beat. Never the unexpected. Coffee is always hot eggs are always warm. Familiar and consistent. read more

Yummy! This place has the tastiest waffles in town. There staff is very nice and quick. But there service is not the best, we ordered over medium and got scrambled, but they were very quick to fix it. But over all it was a very good experience and fast tasty breakfast. read more

I kind of like this chain. It's not popular enough to where it sucks, but every time I've gone it hits the spot. I ate at this particular hut, during a cross-country drive from Virginia Beach to Riverside, Ca. I hadn't eaten anything substantial for 12 hours. I ordered the All-Star and chose a waffle over the biscuit and gravy. Actually I ordered a second waffle because waffles are better in pairs. I think I finished my entire meal in less than 3 minutes. I didn't think I was capable of eating like a wild animal, but I guess long drives and not stopping for food can bring out the animal in anyone. The after dinner cig was phenomenal! You can smoke inside here. All in all, it was just what I needed before heading for bed. It's hard to go wrong at a breakfast place. 4am at the Waffle House... read more

Im upset because they took a tip off my debit card without my authorization. I gave them a cash tip and they still took a tip without my permission from my debit card. I even drew a line through that part of the receipt. That is sneaky and deceitful. I will never order anything else from Waffle House. Thieves read more

You can never go wrong with waffle house. Its breakfast anytime day or night it just puts other breakfast spots to pure shame. I love the Grits, Waffles, Hashbrowns, Sausage, or Bacon OMG you must try the Pecan Waffles. The food here is very much southern breakfast at its finest. If you ever crave a egg come here it will be cooked right the first time. We stop at this location after the club or church and we always leave happy. I love to stop in and get good service from people who really care. read more

Yum! I was here for breakfast on my birthday and endulged in a big breakfast of waffles, eggs, sausage and grits. Yum. My friend and I were served by a really pretty blond waitress. Everyone was so friendly. I had some questions on where to go in Memphis and all the waitresses gathered around and offered some opinions. Southern hospitality!! I didn't notice the jukebox in the back...if I did I would have played a couple of tunes. read more

Service was mediocre at best. Our server was ditzy and couldn't remember to bring us any of the things that we ask for, although we did not ask for that many items. It took us a good 15 minutes before someone came over and greeted us. and we couldn't even get them to take our money to pay our bill even though they were not that busy so we left the money on the counter yelled at her and walked out the door. read more

There's a sort of charm about the Waffle House chain. It's always open. There are characters galore who pass through there. It's your All-American diner/greasy spoon. You can't pass through Memphis without getting your hashbrowns chopped, smothered, slaughtered (I made that up), and served up hot to fill your belly. You can get hash browns served with a variety of toppings -- and I implore you to try them: scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, topped & diced (onions, cheese, ham, chili and diced tomatoes). Hearing the server repeat it is worth the trip in itself. I don't know why, but it's giggle-inducing. They also serve the usual diner food -- burgers, chop steak, patty melts, and omelettes. And don't forget your shot of creamer with your meal when you're done. According to my Cookeville cousins, 'It's a tradition.' It may just be a Cookeville thing, so don't take my word for it. read more

Decent morning place for breakfast. Service was great never short on coffee (albeit a very diluted tasting coffee, but never an empty cup), the breakfast food was good (eggs, sausage, hash browns) and their waffles tasted good but looked deflated from what I would have expected to be their specialty. read more

I'm only giving it one star bc I have to give them a star to rate it. This facility is probably the WOSRT Waffle House I've ever encountered in Memphis. The staff is extremely rude and never spoke when we walked in. About the time we were going to leave the waiter walked up and seemed fairly nice. We ordered our food and waited. During our wait we observed the crew interacting like 16 year olds in high school. Quite a few of the women did not have WF hats or head attire on. When the food arrived it was descent. The hash browns were not made to request and for the price of the steak I was very disappointed in the size. Then upon trying to check out I was skipped twice by customers called up by the cashier attendant. Very very poor service. I will NEVER return to this facility. read more

Friendly customer service and great food! My only complaint is it was overcrowded but that can be a good thing depending oh who you ask read more

I didn't even know that Waffle House had other kinds of toast besides white bread, until Jonah asked my preference (he's the best). Probably the best Waffle House I've visited in a while. Food was good, although I didn't get my hash browns cooked in a ring (petty mention), I still enjoyed my visit. Definitely recommending this location over others. Did I mention that damn Jonah? THE BEST read more

Had the nicest young man as our waiter. The best service my family and I have had in a long time his name was Brian. Food was excellent and place was very clean. read more

Waffle House - Two hard working employees doing an excellent job preparing a meal - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Walked in to dine. No clean tables. Service was lacking. Servers and cooks are more interested in holding conversations with each other than taking care of guest. We sat down and then had our table cleaned bc it was still dirty when we sat down but the hostess demanded that we just sit anywhere a table is open. The server slung dirt and crumbs all in our laps and thought it was okay. Food was not up to the standard I normally receive. My omelet was half the portion I normally receive and tasted awful. This area is very nice but the Waffle House makes it look trashy especially with the poor service received. I would not recommend. read more

WOW,,,this is the cleanest chain restaurant I have ever been in. The service was great and of course its the same menu,,,

I've been to this location multiple of times, and every time the service is very slow..... The food is pretty good, but due to the frustration of the bad service it is not worth it. read more
