I went at 12 am which is when I think Waffle House tastes its best. It was rather full as it had been Valentine's day. It took about 10 minutes to get a table. In my experience, the service at Waffle House has always been incredible. The staff is always very friendly. The food was rather quick given how full it was. It was about another 8 minute wait for two dishes. I only got a pecan waffle as I wasn't too hungry. The butter and the syrup make the waffle a 10/10. It was cooked to perfection. It wasn't too chewy or crispy. It is such a reliable place since they are open 24/7. No matter what time of day I have gone, I have always had a great experience. They had 2000s songs playing in the background which I thought was a bit nostalgic. It was at the right volume so you didn't have to yell to the person across from you. If you do go at night, be aware that it can get a little loud especially on weekends because that is when all teenagers decide to go. read more

Yelp! Waffle House was a treat. Bae and I stopped in for a quick breakfast after a doctor's appointment. Our server was so sweet and on point. I hate I can't remember her name, I think Maya or Mia. Either way, thanks for your help. Bae got the AllStar breakfast with sausage, eggs, hash browns and waffle. I got the sausage grit bowl and a waffle. Grits were cold to me, so I sent it back. But, she made it good and brought anew grit bowl, YUM! Y'all already know I'll be back. read more

I understand this is the south but we are in the 21st century. The lady taking orders was a racist plain and simple. We waited, which is fine but when it was our turn we weren't addressed as she took multiple orders from the people behind us although we were standing in the same line. This took place on June 17th around 1 am and she was an extremely rude and ignorant white lady so if you don't want that with your breakfast. Don't go when she is working!!!!! read more

There were only two people running this entire location. They handled it like pro's! Cool under pressure, tentative to the numerous tables and the food was delicious! Those two ladies need raises. read more

Waffle House is a Southern classic. My dad used to take me almost every week before Sunday school as a kid. Today I decided to take my friend to try it for the first time today. It did not disappoint. She and I loved the hashbrowns, waffles, and egg and cheese biscuit. It was nostalgic and reasonably priced. Our server was very friendly and eager to give us the best experience possible. She made sure our drinks were filled, our food came out fast, and checked to see if we needed anything. This location was also very clean and had a health rating of 96! read more

Waffle House - Diners Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

Food was great but when you order AND PAY and the items are not there... this is an issue. Can't even call to tell them they messed up.

Was open, clean, well cooked and managed. 5 stars. 10/10. Pretty epic 4am meal and no problems here. Going to go more often.

Visited this location on June 28th with my boyfriend after being ignored at the other Waffle House in Vestavia Hills. There was someone who greeted us as soon as we walked in. We were seated quickly and our order was taken shortly after we were seated. The food was great. We will visit again. read more

Great place for breakfast Good food and service Amazing how the cook can remember all the orders yelled at them read more

My children and I enjoyed this waffle House to the max! It was very busy at 815 on a Saturday morning. Even still, we were greeted with sweet names like honey and sweetie and baby and immediately told about an open booth. Savannah was our server and she was an AMAZING communicator. She got our orders in fast and our food out fast. She is amazing in every way. I will come back to this WH if I'm ever close by again. The food was really good too. Savannah suggested custom waffles for my son, with peanut butter and chocolate chips and he loved them. Just a wonderful experience all around. read more

Waffle House - Coffee - Diners Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

I really want to write a good review about this place. But, the waiter/cook (older man, probably around 50) who was using the fountain unit repetitively to refill his Pepto Bismol bottle to drink out of really, really grossed me out. I don't have much to say other than it's unbelievable that someone believes this is acceptable sanitation. read more

This Waffle House has the most friendly staff. Very much like Cheers where everyone knows your name. The food is great and always quick. Na-Kayla is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! read more

Waffle House - Chocolate chip waffle and Peanut butter waffle. Both equally as good so choose your favorite! - Diners Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

If I could give a negative rating for this restaurant I would. I ordered a cheese steak hash brown bowl and when I received it it had everything on it including chili diced ham mushrooms tomatoes. I took it back in I pointed out to the menu what goes on it even told him what I wanted on it and the second time I got it it had tomatoes mushrooms diced ham and some foreign piece of trash. And on top of that they often put gravy on top of it. Obviously they were all being smart asses. I would not eat there right now with the crew and idiots that are running this joint. read more

Waffle House - An incorrectly made hash brown cheesesteak bowl the second time - Diners Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

Homewood Waffle House wouldn't seat anyone so I headed here. Staff was friendly and when someone other than my waitress saw that I was disappointed that the cheese on my hashbrowns wasn't melted, she insisted on re-cooking them. Happy camper after that! read more

Take out order was completely wrong. Yes, my hubby should have checked it. Jalapeños on hash browns? Didn't even know that was an option. Nothing was correct. Refused to remake correct food. Never again. read more

You see them everywhere and with good reason. Have you heard the phrase Waffle House Index (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index)? No? Well read on... "The Waffle House Index is an informal metric used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to determine the effect of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery. The measure is based on the reputation of the Waffle House restaurant chain for staying open during extreme weather and for reopening quickly, albeit sometimes with a limited menu, after very severe weather events such as tornadoes or hurricanes. The term was coined by FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate in May 2011, following the 2011 Joplin tornado; the two Waffle House restaurants in Joplin remained open after the EF5 multiple-vortex tornado struck the city on May 22. According to Fugate, "If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad. That's when you go to work."" Wow! A restaurant that helps saves lives! How can that not get at least 4 stars?!? This WH on the edge of Vestavia has another WH actually just a few blocks away on the Hoover side of the road. I have eaten at both but I prefer this WH. The inside of all WHs look similar. Simple old-time diner look, decorated with old timey photos with booths or you can choose to sit at the "bar" and get an up close in-your-face view of your cook and the kitchen. If you wanted to you could fit most WHs into a large trailer. That's how cramped it could be. Their menu is simple with breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Simple as in a laminated one page double sided menu with pictures. They are usually pretty quick with their food and if you're a very private and discreet person, you won't want to eat here because your server might yell out your order to the short order cook! That's how informal they are at WH. But don't worry, I'm sure what you eat at WH stays at WH. Today the girls got their famous waffles with a side of their famous hash browns. Their chocolate chip waffles don't have the choc chips mixed into the batter. They simply pour the chips onto your waffle when they serve it. Hey isn't that cheating?!? Still tasted great. Sarah noticed that her waffle had the WH logo imprinted on it... cool. Their hashbrowns are always a must-have when we dine here. Simple straightforward shredded potatoes cooked on a hot grill. Matthew ordered their Cheese steak Melt Hashbrown Bowl. It's basically their hashbrowns covered in melted cheese with cheese steak and grilled onions... served in a bowl. If you look at the pic I took, it doesn't look it, but it tasted better than it looks. Remember presentation is not their top priority. We all tasted it and agreed it was good. I felt like a Texas bacon, egg and cheese melt. In other words I was too lazy to order each item separately on a plate. I wanted someone to put it all together for me in between 2 slices of bread then cut into 2 triangles. I enjoyed my sandwich. The fried egg, bacon, and cheese... well it'd be tough to mess that up. We can all agree that WH is not fine dining, but the world will always need WHs. I like to think of them as "good fast food". Consistent, reliable (even in a storm) and always there when you need them. So go eat at Waffle House. They might save your life one day! read more

Waffle House - The building - Diners Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

the best waffle house ever!!!! service is so sweet!! so clean and the food was delicious!

I went to this location earlier today and oh my did I have a reality check with Alabama hospitality! When me and my guest we're greeted at the door we were asked TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE BACK I denied because the counter top was completely clear and the table were the man pointed us to was filthy! It was a young lady on the line on her phone which is completely rude and very unprofessional. The HEALTH score was NOT POSTED! FOOD WAS LEFT ON THE PLATFORM IN FRONT OF GRILL FOR CONTAMINATION I did not eat but my guest did so because they were driving back out of town so out of starvation she had to dine! The two stars were for the waiter named Emily she was very warming in a environment we definitely didn't feel welcomed smh read more

I always smile when I drive up Highway 31 where it crosses under I-65 in Vestavia Hills, because there are two Waffle House restaurants within sight of each other. Of the two, this location on the Vestavia Side has been far better in my experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Otherwise this is your standard, run of the mill Waffle House. When it's busy the kitchen staff manages organized chaos, and when things are slower the staff might hang around your table and join in your breakfast (or dinner...or late night) conversation. A few of my Waffle House ordering tips: 1) Don't be afraid to venture off the breakfast menu and order a burger - you won't regret it. 2) Raisin Toast trumps Plain Toast 3) All Waffle House locations have a juke box with custom Waffle House songs. Try the Waffle House March. read more

My husband and I have eaten here many times and had no complaints. Tonight we went in and we were the only customers. We couldn't find a place to sit because all the tables were dirty. The floor had paper, napkins and food scattered around. There was no coffee made, no syrup jars were filled and the waitress had a sucker in her mouth the entire time.. not sure why Store 664 was such a mess tonight. read more

Stayed next door at hotel got a free breakfast that was delicious and was also treated like family. Overall best meal of my whole week

I ordered the all star breakfast and it was pretty good. I would have liked if my hash browns were cooked a little longer but that's just my personal preference. The waffles were good also. The eggs seemed to have a bit too much seasoning which was rare because this has never happened to me at Waffle House before. OverAll it was a good late night trip. read more
