"No, don't get stressed, it's gon' get figured out Oh, deep conversation at the Waffle House" (Jonas Brothers) There are no Waffle Houses anywhere near Connecticut, so by default whenever we've enjoyed a meal at this iconic chain it had to be somewhere on vacation. On our trip to Mackinaw Island, Michigan, we were thrilled to see a few Waffle Houses popping up along the way. So, when it was time for lunch today, we were more than happy to eat at the Painesville, OH Waffle House just off I-90. We had a freaking blast! The place was neat and clean, the staff was lovely, the food was excellent and dirt cheap. Both of us had lunch for a grand total of $13.13 before tip. A waffle was $4.50, a big cup of chili was an unbelievable $2.50, and a coffee and Diet Coke were $2.75 and $2.50. My chili was excellent- loaded with ground beef, beans, veggies and tomatoey chilified goodness. What a freaking bargain for $2.50. Life is best when you savor the simple joys. Waffle House is a prime example. read more

The grilled chicken sandwich is very respectable sandwich and you can garnish with lettuce tomato mayo and pickles if you like. The staff is all about courtesy quickness and hard work. This is about as American as it gets ! Hard working Americans doing hard work quickly with a lot of smiles. Cant tip them enough for their work ethic. ! read more

Had the Grilled Chicken Bacon sandwich with crispy hash browns with added onion!! Very good!!! Sausage & Egg sandwich with the same hash browns also very good!!! Tina was are server & she was very friendly & helpful!!! Our booth had a few crumbs, but nothing obnoxious!!! For $22 it was way better than Mary's Diner!!! Recommend to try!!! read more

If you're regular at the waffle house, you know what to expect. If you let the waitress know how you like your hashbrowns and your eggs, you won't be disappointed. I've been to waffle houses from Ohio all through the south east It may not be the best, but it's always reassuring when you come inside to sit down at the bar you'll get good cup of coffee and how are you doing honey from a kindly waitress. Well, at least down south you will. read more

Service was worst I've ever seen. Order was wrong and waitress insisted she had it correct and was not going to have it remade. When we approached her we were told to step off the floor. While we paid for our uneaten meals, the manager/supervisor heard every word, and did nothing. We were regulars, easily, 2-3 times a week to the point most of the staff knows our order. We will not be back. read more

Outside and inside it looks like your run-of-the-mill Waffle House. Which isn't a bad thing because you always know what you're going to get here. There was one girl working the tables for the whole restaurant! She was moving as fast as she could! And she was pleasant, even though she was super super busy. Sometimes in a very stressful situation, people lose their good manners - but she greeted people and continued to be pleasant although she was ultra busy! I hope people tipped her well The food came out fast and hot and actually well seasoned. I got biscuits and gravy and my husband got eggs and bacon. But like I said, it's not fancy or exotic - just good ol' all American breakfast food. We will go back read more

The restaurant is always clean & inviting every time we visit. I have always enjoyed friendly service from the staff. The food is better than a fast food restaurant but if you're looking for a Denny's style breakfast you won't find it here. read more

Waffle House - Painesville - All star breakfast - Diners Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

The diner from Georgia that made it real real real real real big and branched out all over the south and is slowly but surely making its way north and east. I'm still envious that Michigan doesn't have one of these gastronomic institutions. The alter ego of HiHOP. The better one if as far as I'm concerned. We ordered the t-bone steak combo, one for each. I ended up with the short end of the stick since for some reason, that day we walked in, was the day they only had one t-bone steak left. So, no big deal,,, fiance' get's the better cut. I'll just settle for the sirloin. Which if cooked properly, as it was, medium rare is still a pretty good cut of meat. hashbrowns with mushrooms and texas toast for the win. Pair that up with a hot cup of coffee and I am a very happy camper. The place was really nice and orderly. We seem to have walked in right before their dinner rush, so It was very empty. We did get primo seats at the bar as well. Plus, we were pretty much the only customers at the time, so we did get their full undivided attention. I had a great meal here, specially the fact that we were driving back to Detroit from Pennsylvania. Yes,, long drives can definitely work up an appetite. Thank you so much Waffle House. You guys rock!!! read more

Its a beautiful day so I'm out on the motorcycle for about 4 hours and its time to get something to eat; unfortunately its Easter Sunday so not that many places are open. Fortunately I remember that there is a Waffle House at I-90 and Route 44. I may lose some of my foodie cred, but even though I generally don't like chain restaurants, I do have a soft spot for the Waffle House. This trip I ordered a waffle and a medium hashbrowns scattered and capped (with mushrooms added. The waffle is a large disc, fairly thin with a good slightly sweet flavor. The waffle has a softer outside, but the inside is fluffy and perfect to soak up the syrup. The hashbrowns are exactly what they should be, crisped up on the grill with good potato taste, but not too greasy. There are plenty of jokes about Waffle Houses, but I have found that they are good road food, the food is good, service is friendly and fast, your order is cooked fresh and served quickly; prices are good and most of the time the restaurants are clean. You can count on the Waffle House to give good, decent food at a reasonable price. read more

Waffle House hits as hard as a ex husband. You never think you'll go back till its 4am and your needing a pick me up.

Stopped in for Sunday morning breakfast. When we arrived we had to wait 10 minutes or so for a table. (good sign!) Because the kitchen and dining room are attached with no walls in between, sometimes cleanliness is an issue with Waffle Houses. This one is VERY clean! The service was superb and the food was excellent. Next time I'm in Sarasota, I will eat breakfast here. The whole time I was there, I watched the interaction of the staff with each other and the customers. Everyone was having fun and seemed to be happy to be at work...ie; they care. Super yummy food! Nicely done, keep up the good work. read more

I stopped for some lunch on my way to Buffalo. Service was good and food was okay. Ordered sausage, egg and cheese hashbrown bowl and sweet ice tea. The hashbrowns were oily and were plain (had to add more salt), didn't like it that much. Price was decent for the amount of food. Service was nice and the place looked clean. read more

They say open 24 hours, but both times we've come at 2am it's closed . Need to update their website

I was so excited to go to waffle house but I waited about 45 minutes or so before anyone greeted me. We sat at the low bar top and every server just walked past us and didn't take our order until we got someone's attention and asked if we could have our order taken. I would never come back here read more

So delicious! The server/cooks were amazing and as nice as could be, even with the Covid short staff. It was a little more expensive than we expected, but after tasting it we had no problem with that! We cannot wait to go back :) read more

Stopped here for a quick dinner driving back home from Florida. I haven't been to a Waffle House in about 2 years. The place is semi clean (waitress was sweeping after we arrived), located a short distance from the freeway. Wasn't busy. Food was served to my parents, 2 steak melts with hash browns. They enjoyed theirs. Mine came about 5 minutes later. A Texas toast chicken melt and I got grits as my side. Sandwich was surprisingly good. Hot and melty with bacon and grilled onions on top of grilled Texas toast. My grits were good after I added butter and salt. You know, the good stuff. Overall it was decent. Nothing to write home about. It's a nice Waffle House with good quick food for a good price. 3 dinners 2 pops for 31$ not including tip. Can't complain too much. Their breakfast looks good. Maple Pecan or blueberry waffles hrmmmm sounds yummo. I'll be back read more

Really good food here enjoyed the eggs and toast and my friends got waffles. It's been well over 8 years since going here im due to return.

The Waffle House is always good!! But then I love waffles! I reviewed this one only because it's where I drive to pick up my sister when she's coming to visit from Erie PA. It's like halfway between Medina, OH, where I live, and Erie. My brother-in-law brings her there for the "drop-off"!! : )) Everyone probably knows about Waffle House. They are all the same. Friendly staff that say hello to you when you come in the door and the famous large plate-sized waffle. Of course there's other good breakfast items too. Try the scattered potatos! Mmmm. Not much real healthy here : )) Casual and cheap. read more

This Waffle House is straight up rude!!!! There is a server named Zach, who is awful, and our server was Jennifer. She was alright, nothing special. Didn't really talk to ya, didn't care about us or how our food was. The steak was horrible, not editable. My friend got the hash browns with chilli, again was not edible but the server didn't care. My friend pulled out his card and Zach came over and asked if that was his daddy's card, and kept questioning us if we were coming from a bar, but clearly were not. This place is horrible. Absolutely horrible service. Watch out !! Not worth the $10 anyways. read more

It's a cheap diner, what do you expect? Didn't expect service to be so horrible. Like, sorry our group of 10 ruined your fun of sitting around doing nothing on a Sunday. Guess they were used to no one coming in at all, and it was quite an inconvenience for them. Jon especially. Yeah, obviously 10 people is a little difficult for seating, and a large party can be a bit overwhelming... but god damn it Jon you could have been A LOT better...or the very least put in some effort. Jon, and then the cook, and some other server. Would have at least expected the other server to help him out and cover half of the group instead of awkwardly mopping under our booths and feet. Personally got a BLT and some hashbrowns. Doesn't a BLT come with mayo?!?! It's to be expecting right? Right! Well I didn't get any, let alone the drinks we all ordered, so Jon had to he reminded. Is that standard operating procedure? To not get ANY drink at all until you get your food? If I hadn't said anything I probly would have been charged for a drink I NEVER got, wouldn't have been happy about that. Anyways, the nonexistent mayo for a BLT came in the form of Heinz squeeze packets. It was an ok BLT for the most part. People's burgers seemed from frozen and thawed at some point during the day...no thanks. Liked the hashbrowns with the grilled onions though, was gonna get more, but, Jon probly would have forgot that to. Other than shit service I really didn't expect, oh and Jon texting on his phone...yes Jon you were that noticeable behind the register!! How about focusing on the needs of your damn 3 tables you selfishly got all for yourself instead of poorly sneaking a text!....sorry, I digress...my respect to the cook though, handled everything like a pro and everything was accurate and came out pretty timely. If anyone deserves whatever tip was given its the cook. If Jon had any self respect he would give ALL of it to the cook and get NOTHING. Ass. Glad it's too far away from me to worry about coming to again, because its really not worth the trip on a Sunday afternoon. read more

We stopped here on a trip from Chicago to NH. Our waffles and omelets were very good. The service was not what you would call great. It was extraordinary! Everyone was friendly, as they should be, but they all seemed to take care to make sure we were enjoying our time there and had enough to drink to take with us to continue our road trip. If we take this trip again, we will plan a stop here for a meal. read more

Didn't even get the chance to go in because the 2 men who were working were staring at me through the window and would NOT stop. It was SO uncomfortable to the point where I decided to go somewhere else. Ew. read more

sausage was prepared perfectly. very filling and meaty. perfect stop on way home during road trip. would visit again.

Lots of food for a low price. The service was really good and I ate so much it was almost disgusting. Even left my credit card there and they found it and held it for me (I'm not used to that). I do wish the tables were clean? They seemed a little sticky and had crumbs/water rings on them.... Other than that, I think it was great! read more

Your average diner. Our coffee cup cake dirty with purple lipstick on the cup. The waffles were very dry. Fake chemical butter. Fake syrup. $43 for 5 people. Cheap food. Cheap quality. Wait staff was super nice and friendly but food was inedible. Won't be going back again. read more

I am unusually excited to write this review. Waffle House is a nostalgic thing to most 80's kids but I am from Boston so that also touches a sense of rarity in that we have zero anywhere near us. I ate at them while traveling to Disney or going on family trips down south to Myrtle Beach. I feel like despite them being cheap and everyday fare, they are a treat. That being said it is usually just okay food, lukewarm, and served by someone that would rather be out doing something else. NOT AT THIS WAFFLE HOUSE! This is the most wonderful Waffle House staff on the planet. The gentleman that served us had to leave at the end of our meal (he was amazing BTW) because we came in during shift change and everyone was so nice I could've hugged them. Talk about a smooth shift change. The place was not full since I think it was like 2pm but my family of 6 was given two tables and served piping hot wonderful food and for moms that is a miracle to eat while its hot. They even made a fresh batch of gravy for my husband because the waiter said that he didn't think the last batch was good enough to serve. The quality and kindness shocked me and I wish I was a regular at this location despite living about a thousand miles away. These are the people that make food service still worth it. Go here! Go here every chance you can to support this awesome staff! We will be back at least once a year when we travel to my in laws in Illinois for the holidays! read more

Thank you, Cooks and Servers!!! Another lovely "batch" to keep me complacent 'til midweek. These people are phenomenal when it comes to dishing up a 15 plate order to go. For me. For later. Maybe I will share. read more

Love the Waffle House. My waistline does not. But for once in a while it is just damn good stuff. Luckily it just when I am on the road.

I drove from Buffalo NY for Waffles... Waffle House Waffles. I was back in early summer 2016, I chose this location based on Yelp reviews and being a newer location, I'd been in an older one in N.Carolina, Loved it too. The staff was nice and friendly, the food Awesome we did the eat in breakfast at 8 30 pm, eggs meat toast and WAFFLES with pecans. Everything was great, so great we got an extra round and triple waffles to go... Return trips are planed. read more

I went from Buffalo to Ohio to ride bicycle. On my back, I stopped with a friend to eat something. The food was awesome, but what surprise me more is that I saw the most beautiful I have seen in the last 2 years, her name was Jaclyn. Of curse I didn't even try to say "hi" because i'm too shy. Between the food and that girl, I'm seriously considering driving 2 hours there to eat again :) . read more

Tasty breakfast with big portions at a very reasonable price! The staff are super friendly and made me feel at home.

Arrived on a busy Saturday morning for breakfast with my mom. The group in front of us was seated immediately at the counter. We were told by the host we'd have to wait for a table but it should only be a minute. The table opened up and one of the waitresses told the group at the counter they could take the table (apparently they didn't like the exhaust fan blowing on them) I spoke up telling them we were waiting for a table (the host had disappeared.) Why the waitress was moving people around while there were other waiting to be seated is beyond me. For what it's worth she later apologized saying she should have just let the host do his job. We were seated and given menus. No sooner did the menus hit the table were we asked if we still needed a minute to decide. We were rushed to order drinks immediately. We were asked if we were ready to order 2 more times by a different waitress within a minute. My mom and I ordered the same thing. A waffle and a side of bacon. My waffle came almost immediately. Hers about two minutes later. The bacon arrived when I was almost done eating my not very hot waffle. Again, my bacon arrived about 2 minutes before my mom's. Then it took about 10 min to get a check. The waitress didn't charge us for one of the overpriced waffles for the inconvenience of earlier hence the extra star on my review. As for the food. The waffles weren't nearly as big and thick as I remember, and are overpriced for what they are IMO. (We both got plain waffles) They weren't hot, and had an acrid almost burnt taste to them. The bacon was bacon. Pretty hard to screw that up. I won't be returning that's for sure. Waffle House was better off left as a memory. read more
