I eat here frequently, with my husband, all my friends, family members. I love that it is a small family owned business and everyone there hustles so hard. The food is phenomenal and everyone is so nice and accommodating. Everything on the menu is wonderful, even the non waffle items at 5 stars. I'd recommend adding yourself to their waitlist as it can get very busy weekend mornings. read more

I usually post reviews through Google, but I noticed Yelp is very active through Wafflestop. But I needed to tell whoever I could about my experience today. And how absolutely "WOW'd" I was by my server Kevin. He was an absolute blast. I decided to treat my mom and my daughters to breakfast this morning and seeing we waited for over an hour and a half for the table and even another 30-45 minutes for our food Kevin made that wait feel like Seconds. He kept reassuring us food was being worked on and made us never feel forgotten. At one point which was probably the highlight of our experience was his interaction with my kids. We brought our little uno set in with us and he voluntarily asked to be dealt in a hand and it was really just so much fun and comforting. His engagement with us made us feel so at home and this is exactly why we come back. Wafflestop never lets us down. Thank you Kevin for making Mothers Day very nice, despite the earlier circumstances. We will be back read more

Don't come on holiday or special occasions at tacoma location. Poor seating, poor planning and person at register doesn't know how to tell people correct time. So after waiting an hour and half was told its another hour, completely ruining mothers day brunch! read more

I've been eyeing this place every time I make my way to north end and finally built the courage to try Waffle Stop. Let me tell you that if you want a good and fulfilling breakfast, this is not the place. Definitely overrated. We had ordered the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, which was basically only the batter and not enough chicken, they pour honey over the chicken and the waffle was hard and cold which had to be sent back. The waffle monte cristo was not good at all. I've had monte cristo from about 3 places and this was my bottom. The raspberry they serve tastes like they melted watermelon chamoy(Mexican candy) blehhhh.... & the turkey and ham we're so dry so I did not eat the other half which is the one that I took a pic of. & lastly, the brown sugar cardamom latte was so #*!% I didn't not enjoy that one bit. I couldn't figure out if the taste of burnt coffee was the reason for the nasty after taste or the lady didn't make it right. For the foodie experts- do not waste your time. Too packed and too busy for no reason. read more

STOP HERE at Waffle Stop - soooooo delicious! We got here on a Saturday mid-morning to thankfully not a long line. Waffles were really good. We could taste the sugar pearls embedded in the waffles. Toppings were complimentary to the waffles and didn't overpower and wasn't too sweet either. I'm still thinking about Waffle Stop. Through the rest of our travel eats in Seattle - we all wanted a return trip to Tacoma for more. Two thumbs up for sure! read more

Ate here yesterday with my hubby... we loved it! The area is so cute. The shop fits right in.. I really enjoyed the classic liege waffle, I would literally come just for those! Also... don't even ask for pancakes lol read more

Sunday brunch...first of all...crowded! Long wait time, so be prepared. Though we got lucky, waited 5min since we chose to sit at the Bar. Waffles....eghhhh...nothing much to rave about. Had better, tastier, and fluffier waffles....at home. ; -) What I had was just alright, chose 3 different flavors. It's not a place I would love to hurry and go back to but also not a stop I'll never want to make either. Never say never... maybe for coffee and try something else, perhaps. read more

What a great breakfast place! I'd pick waffles over pancakes any day, and this place sure delivered! We ordered the luscious lemon blueberry waffles, the chicken & waffles, and a just a regular buttermilk waffle for our kids. Everything was delicious and filling! The blueberry lemon waffle was a bit sweet, but I guess that's to be expected with lemon curd. Nonetheless very tasty, and I would order it again. We came as a family on a Friday morning and our wait was told to be 20 min but was actually 45, so beware when coming on weekends, you may have to wait a bit due to limited seating. I'm hopeful that it's a little less busy on weekdays and that with Covid restrictions lifting more tables will be available next time. A must visit! read more

Don't know about the waffles but the eggs, hash browns and coffee are excellent. Amazingly speedy service. It's also nice when all the staff have a friendly attitude. The place was busy at 08:00 on a Friday, a great sign. Having lived in Tacoma for decades (moved away in 2017) it was also fun to watch the patrons enter Knapps which is right across the street. Guess white hair is required to eat there. Next time we go to the Waffle Stop we will try the waffles! read more

Huge portion for the prices and quality ingredients. Nothing is frozen and is made on premises. The maple syrup tastes real and comes warmed in a decanter. Service was fast and friendly. I recommend the pearl sugar waffle (3 types of waffles to choose from). It's sweeter than the others and the yeast gives it a donut flavor. Really good. They make their sausage on-site with ground chicken into patties and also have smoked bacon. Atmosphere is warm, clean and comfortable. Mostly breakfast items, but they also serve sandwiches for lunch. I'll be back!! read more

Stood at the entrance while workers walked around me for a few minutes. They need a host because I understand they're busy. My daughter's waffle was so hard. I got parm/garlic waffles. They were so greasy & bland. Seasoning wouldn't hurt. The picture shows how plain they are. read more

I'll start by saying that I'm glad the Waffle Stop has survived the surreal nightmare that was 2020 and is still with us. Truly. The few times I've been there for in-house dining, the staff and service was great. I have no beef with the place as a whole. My issue is with one particular menu item; the "Nashville Hot" chicken and waffle. Calling this Nashville Hot is like calling a hotdog and a crawfish Steak and Lobster. It's absurd. The only thing this chicken has in common with Nashville Hot chicken is that they're both chicken. That's it... and I'm being generous with that. I mean it. That's IT. Nashville Hot is a very specific thing. There's no wide interpretation. You don't order Nashville Hot chicken, and expect to get a bowl of chicken carbonara. You don't order a Wagyu steak, and expect a hamburger. You don't book a room at the Copacabana Palace and expect to stay in a Hostel. You don't buy an airline ticket and expect to be seated in a trebuchet. I dunno, maybe you do... I don't. Words mean something. I mean, look; why pretend? If you want to cater to the crowd that would order Nashville Hot in the first place, then GO ALL IN. If you're gonna do it, DO IT. Commit. Make it so killer that people who've had Nashville Hot will judge all other NH by yours. Or DON'T... The people who don't like heat won't order it anyway, so why dumb it down? If you must, then call it something else, because it's NOT Nashville Hot. Call it, I dunno, maybe Tacoma Hot, or Not Really Hot, or maybe just Red Chicken & Waffles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The waffle part of this order was the dukes! Got no complaints there. Amazing, actually. They would be incredible with blueberries and french vanilla ice cream. They'd also be incredible with Nashville Hot chicken. read more

I was hoping I would have to never leave a negative review on a restaurant during these struggling times, however, no matter how busy things are, quality control is a must. I ordered the Grilled Monte Cristo with a sub order of fruit. As you can see in the pictures, not only they got my sub order wrong but also my Monte Cristo was burnt. I am disappointed because I really do enjoy the food here but this is just...really unacceptable. Now, I have a 21.00+ meal gone to waste. read more

Yelp has pretty much taught me how to hand pick places, and boy were they right about this one! We went in on a weekday around 11. The place wasn't full, but people trickled in and out while we were there. The service was on point. We had one of the twins, and he came by the perfect amount. He spotted when something was wrong with our order and we didn't catch it. He kept our drinks refilled and was kind and helpful for newbies not knowing what they were doing. Now. The. Food. It was amazing. I had the very berry waffle and the chicken and waffle fries. I couldn't stop eating. The berry waffle was sweet, crunchy and that perfect about of berry tart. The chicken and waffle fries were covered in cheese, chicken and bacon. It was more than my friend and I could even begin to finish, so those came home and my kid dug into them as soon as he got his hands on the box. The home made ranch is something of my dreams. So. Good. We will be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Everything was delicious! It's hard to find a breakfast spot in WA and this one is it. The waffles are amazing...soft, crunchy, bursting with flavor. I got the split decision and my husband got chicken and waffles with a homemade country gravy that's to die for. The place is small inside, but they pack the place full. It didn't take too long between ordering and getting our food. The service was excellent, too. The only downside about this place is the very long wait. It was 40 min for a table for two. We were there at 10:30, so maybe if we got there earlier there'd be less of a wait. We checked out the farmers market nearby (took all of 5 min). read more

Super fun place as long as you can get around the long wait on weekends. I stopped in with a friend around 9am on a Sunday morning and we walked the neighborhood while waiting to be called via a text from the restaurant. It was approx. 30 min which isn't too bad at all. They have QR code's on each table so that the menu can be accessed digitally, which i love. They have a creative menu and great customer service right out of the gate. I ordered the wake n waffle with the very berry medley waffle. The waffle is obviously unique and tasted really good, the rest of the breakfast: eggs, sausage, and hash browns was decent too. They have an excellent hot sauce if you are like me and put hot sauce on your hash browns. :) I would suggest getting a Waffle to share between two people as they are super sweet and shareable in size. Overall this place is super cute, I will definitely be coming back with the family in the near future. read more

This place was super busy on a Saturday morning at 930/10. We put our name in and walked through the nearby farmers market and they called our number faster than expected. Their COVID preparedness was good. There was a mask on every staff member and the booths were spaced apart. The decor and design was really cute and charming. However, the food was less than stellar. The portions were decent and it came out hot but it was pretty average. I did get a waffle on the side with no whip cause they load towers of cream on them. All in all a cute brunch or breakfast place and I'd go back. :) read more

This a cute little place , where you can bring your friends and your family or have a little morning brunch date . If you're a Bloody Mary type of person i suggest you try both the spicy and regular just to see where your spice level might be. Definitely try the signature waffles. If you're a huge fan of bacon, then of course this is the right place for you . They make a house sauce that you should try . Customer service is always lovely , i suggest going during the week though because , the weekends get very busy. read more

The food was sooooo good and the service and aesthetic was great as well. Wait was a little long but definitely worth it!

ok. Maybe don't go on a Saturday during the proctor farmers market. That made the place just a bit too popular and we had easily a 35 minute wait. Once we got in, the place was clean and brightly lit. Very colorful atmosphere. Service with smiles. I had the southern waffle that was made partially with corn meal. What a cool take on waffles. There were a lot of options on the menu that I wanted to try, so I'll have to go back. They had seating for just about any sized group, especially with a table that could probably handle 10 folks. I had a cafe au last that was warm and cozy. I plan to return on a less busy day. read more
