Decided to come here recently as we happened to be in the neighborhood. We check in online and stopped in just to verify that we were on the list. We were assured that there was about a 25 minute wait although the text we received estimated about 40 minutes. It was a nice day so we walked around and checked out some of the shops in the area. Our wait was more than the estimated 20, and 40 minutes but we were finally seated at the counter. We started with Elderflower Mimosas, which were just okay. I decided on the Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffle, and my friend opted for the Fried Chicken and Egg Bowl. It didn't take too long for the food to come out. It was hot and fresh. The chicken was nicely breaded and crisp, but being Nashville Hot Chicken it didn't have flavor or heat that I would expect for it to have. It was actually pretty bland. Even the "habanero hot sauce" that came with it was not packing a punch of heat, or habanero flavor. The ranch was good, but not great. The waffle was good. I think if I were to order Chicken and Waffles again, I would go with the Original. My friend enjoyed her choice, to me the gravy consistency looked a little off--like grainy. I am sure it was sitting in a warmer for quite some time which could have contributed to the offish appearance. They do offer a Military/Police discount (on food only) and have a loyalty program as well. We would return to try more of the menu. read more

Stop here for all waffles. Finally made it in and was sorry I took so long. The Food, The Service, The Atmosphere here are incredible. We came in and were greeted immediately and seated. The place was jumping so we wondered if the service would be slow, but it wasn't. The wait staff took our drink order and returned quickly for our orders. Waffles of course, we each chose our sides and trust me. The Wee waffle really isn't Wee. The Chicken apple sausage and scrambled egg was perfectly cooked and the big Belgium Waffle was perfection. Served with real butter (not whipped or fake) and maple syrup this meal will fill you up. Childs play you say? Try the Wake n Waffle, 2 eggs, hash browns and bacon and a waffle. That actually filled my SO up. Plus he says the hash browns were perfectly crispy with tender insides. I snatched a bite of bacon and it was crispy and tasty. Definitely will return and you should head in. Service: Outstanding Cleanliness: Outstanding Restrooms: Non gender neutral but oh so clean! read more

Had to visit before a Jonas Brothers concert... if you know you know... and we absolutely love their waffles! So fluffy and light! My friend ordered the Chicken & Waffle. Chicken was so crispy and paired well with the waffle. Appreciated that it was a thick piece of chicken. I ordered the Wake N Waffle, which the hash browns had a crispy outside and a soft inside. Didnt like the chicken apple sausage as much, was a bit dry and over-burnt. The "choose one of our classic waffles" got me fooled because when they asked which waffles I wanted with it, I thought it meant any. It said below it "upgrade to a sweet sensation waffle for only $4" so when you look at the menu, read which ones are The Classics and the Sweet Sensations. For drinks, I ordered the Brown Sugar Cardamom Latte. Subtly sweet and smooth creamy coffee is the best way to describe it. Overall, will come back again. There were a ton of people here when we arrived at 1 pm on a Friday, but there were a couple seats available for us on the spot and we only waited less than a minute to get a seat. Service was patient, sweet, and quick as we got our food in about 15 minutes and they assisted us every 5 minutes when we were still undecisive about what we wanted. read more

Our 1st visit to Waffle Stop. We ordered the Ranchero steak & eggs & the Wee Waffle which comes with 1 egg, and choice of meat. I chose chicken apple sausage patty. Both orders we asked for basted eggs. Not sure if they know how to baste eggs, because the bottom side was really really fried and my sausage patty looked like someone took a bite out of it. I mentioned it to the server, and he just kind of chuckled and brushed it off. My waffle choice was the pearl sugar waffle. It was really dry, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to be because I've never had that type before, the flavor was good. Steak was too chewy for me, but husband said it was ok, but would not order it again. Restaurant was clean and inviting, staff was nice. Had to ask for a coffee to refilled. We are going to return and order something different. Lots to choose from. I'm hoping to give more stars next time. read more

Waffle Stop - FRIED CHICKEN & EGG BOWL - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Service and atmosphere was very welcoming. Our Waitress was very patient with our granddaughter as she was distracted by all the colorful pencils she received to draw with on the menu, but she finally figured it out. Our coffee was good and refilled often. Grrkid got a divine hot cocoa which she wanted more but we had to limit. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich which was very tasty though I wish it was spicier. The waffle fries that came with it were awesome with the Comeback Sauce. Grandma had the Chicken and Waffles which was huge and she had to share with us. Grrkid had the children's Strawberry Waffles which she is still talking about almost 11 hours later. I highly recommend this place. Plenty of street parking around and walked away full and happy. read more

This place was so good. I just left a bad review at a place I just ate in Maryland that suxjed. That this one came up as places I been and I need to go back to the Washington/ oregan area. You guys cook better. The service was great, the place was cute. Plates were sharable. read more

I just left a few minutes ago completely disappointed with the service at this place. The gal upfront was incredibly rude. I came there with my four small kids to get breakfast, I checked in at the front and waited for about 20 minutes. After going into check with her, she said you've only waited for an x amount of minutes which hasn't been that long ... wow. I asked why people are seated before after they've just arrived. She answered "we have an online waiting list" .. thank you lol. Why didn't you tell me that upon hand? The attitude and snarkyness ... look I'm kind and understand people have off days. But be professional for goodness sake. I'm so disappointed because the food looked great. read more

Perfect brunch spot! They have fresh squeezed orange juice which make for amazinggg mimosas! It's also fantastic on its own. It's a waffle lovers heaven!! I loved my classic buttermilk waffle but the other flavors looked equally amazing. The staff was great. There can be quite a wait so be sure to check on that before going. read more

I think this place is pretty rad! It definitely gets busy, but if you're there solo or with one other person, you can sit at the bar (so long as there are seats available). I went by myself, so I sat at the bar. I had ordered a cardamom latte and the turkey bacado sandwich. The server misunderstood what I was looking for and gave me the brown sugar cardamom latte. As I expected, it was a little too sweet for my liking. The sandwich was delicious, though I would've appreciated it if the waffle were a bit more toasted. Good food, good vibes, and great location. read more

Cute little breakfast place on Proctor in Tacoma. They make their food right after you order so you know it's hot and fresh! I ordered the chicken and waffles which came with cinnamon whipped butter and maple syrup. I thought it was going to to be their classic waffle but it's the small grid waffle. I thought the batter was good but a little too hard/ crunchy. Chicken had a lot crunch too but not much seasoning. I kind of got sick of it lol. I'd come back and try their other dishes though! read more

Went to check out Waffle Stop on the recommendation from my daughter, she and her hubby live this place! We are not locals, but they are, so we headed out to grab some breakfast on Sunday morning. We found parking on a side street and was happy to see that we could immediately get a table. They have a good-sized menu with a lot of choices. Being the name is Waffle Stop, I had to get some kind of waffle, so I got the hot chicken and waffle. The other items ordered are pictured. The portions here are pretty generous, most notable, and the oatmeal with fruits is huge! The chicken and waffle looked good, but the presentation was kind of plain. It was only topped with powdered sugar but came with 2 freshly fried chicken beats, which was very tasty! The hot honey was not spicy at all, almost no spice what so ever. The waffle itself was ok. It was a bit firm, almost like a cookie. I'm pretty sure that this is just their version of waffle that i never had before. Oh, they have very good coffee's, the French press was excellent, as was the one with brown sugar and cardamom. read more

Um, holy yum Batman! I was so excited to try the food that was presented to me that I forgot to take a picture! Haha! I had the Luscious Lemon Blueberry Waffle, Pumpkin-spiced Latte, and a side of bacon. So so good! Not to mention, my server was on point... I never had to wait one single time. My food came out in about 3 minutes, which was amazing! I sat at the bar near the kitchen and it was really cool because not only was the food out of this world, but it was very clear that everyone who works here really loves being here. The kitchen was alive with smiles and encouraging words, the wait staff was supporting each other and all around lots of laughter and happiness. It made my dining experience that much better! Next time I'm in Tacoma, I'm definitely coming back! Nice job, Waffle Stop! read more

Waffle Stop is THE PLACE for all things breakfast. These cooks really excel in excellence - unwavering quality time and time again. It's always exceptional when quality remains consistent no matter how many times you go. As the name suggests... waffles... you really should order their waffles. I'm not a waffle person, but my goodness I love them here. So soft and favorable! They really have mastered the perfect batter! My usual order is the wake n waffle combo with the bacon cookie butter waffle paired with a brown sugar cardamom latte. I know this may sound overly sweet (most places add way too much sugar) but this order is well balanced -- not too sweet. That is really key to enjoying every bite. Their bacon never has fat and cooked to perfection... their sausage is delicious as well... they give you warmed maple syrup... fresh squeezed orange juice is always a special treat too... Fact is they really pay attention to the little details that really elevate the breakfast experience. From their inviting cozy dining with beautiful interior designed branding, to great customer service, best chefs and a very affordable price point.... What more could you ask for?! read more

My 22 yo and I fell in love hard with this place. If we lived locally it would be a regular spot for us. We showed up around 11 on a busy Saturday morning. Thankfully with it just being the two of us we were seated at the counter immediately. The wait time didn't seem to be long for others. Order fresh squeezed orange juice (so good!), freshly brewed ice tea and two different waffles, both excellent. It's such a comfortable, positive environment with friendly staff. read more

We used to love this place, but the last two times we've been here, the service has been slow and unwelcoming. The last time we were there, the lady (manager? was wearing a black polo) was talking at length to another employee until she finally noticed our food under the heat lamp. She brought it over and acted annoyed when we complained that it was cold. We will give it another try because they've been a family favorite for so long. Will report back. We miss the twins! read more

Very good i got a country style waffles with eggs and hash browns, it was phenomenal service was also good didn't mine me asking for refills and extra stuff, also the decor is beautiful, love the way it looks outside and inside, only thing I will say is that they forgot 2 food items in my order and are avocados were brown but other then that it was delicious. read more

My husband and I ordered breakfast for ourselves and twins. Unfortunately my plate was missing some items. We called and they completely made it right! Remaking our entire order! Thank you so much for the delicious food and remake! 100% recommend! Thank you read more

Perfect. Absolutely everything. Just Perfect! They were busy busy busy when we got there, but these folks have it DOWN, so we were seated right away, and everything was SO "well oiled machine" from there! But, on to the food... Miki had the Verry Berrry waffle and I had the California Scramble (without whip). Her berries were fresh and tasty, the liege waffle perfect, she loved it! My scramble though was ... a work of high art. Not only were the eggs just absolutely perfect (WHO even bothers to do eggs right in a scramble these days?!) fluffy wuffy just medium, not overcooked or dry at all and... OH MY GAWD ... where can I buy this Beecher's Premium cheddar? WOW! Sorry, Tillamook, you are a distant runner up to this one! Lots of fresh avocado, nice chunks of chicken... just what I needed. I could not finish, though I tried so hard I thought I might burst... my mouth was still hungry but my stomach just would not have it. I love the fact that this is staffed mainly by college students, but also that they appear to be happy, well trained and working together so well, because, as someone who worked their way though college at fast food joints, I can speak to the lifelong value of not only the lessons learned there, but that the friendships made are some of the most treasured over a lifetime. It makes me feel so good about the place and I look forward to coming back! read more

For the past few weeks k so I have been eating here on weekends. This place is in the wonderful Proctor District. Saturday is personal favorite with the Proctor Farmer Market going next door. This place is the perfect start to a Saturday morning in Proctor. This place is busy. I often dine alone on weekends. The staff never misses a beat and make the effort to provide the same level of excellence for my experience as the larger tables. I am exploring the menu and have an expanded list of new favorites. Cole and his fantastic staff make this a must for breakfast in Proctor. Highly recommend this place! read more

After reading some reviews, we tracked on their website the waitlist to make sure we didn't have a long wait. We checked in on the waitlist when we were about 10 minutes from the shop as there were two parties already booked on there and said the wait was 15 minutes. We arrived and waited about 5 minutes for them to clear tables. I highly recommend checking in on the waitlist for weekends as when we got there, there were about 5 tables waiting for walk-in. Cute little shop bustling with families and lively conversations. It is a bit loud as it is an open space so take that in mind. We ordered a latte and Bloody Mary to start. Latte was decent and strong. Bloody Mary wasn't so great per hubs, the mixer was sub par per him. #1 son ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich with the waffle fries 9/10, he said the waffle didn't really stand up to all the yumminess they added to it, if it was crisper and sturdy it would have been been 10/10. Taste though was 10/10 and the comeback sauce and ranch were spot on. Hubs had the Ranchero steak and eggs...he enjoyed it, hash browns nice and golden, amazing chimichurri sauce, the fail was dubbing the steak "carne asada" Carne is nice and thin and this was more like steak, thicker cut. It was still delicious it , just call it Steak and eggs as it is not authentic Carne Asada. Flavor was 10/10 though. I had the wake and waffle 8/10, perfect hash browns, my over easy eggs were a little past easy and the pork sausage patties were significantly smaller than seen in some photos. I had the southern cornmeal waffles with the honey cinnamon butter. TLDR, go here and check it out ,decent breakfast and you can find what you like. Great service and cute ambience. read more

My partner found this place while dashing. We came in today for brunch with our wedding officiant. WHAT A JOY! I love that I was able to put myself on the waitlist from home. The wait was about an hour from home. And maybe 15 minutes once we arrived. They do not mess around. People are in and out! Our sever was Mickey and dear God give that girl a raise! She set the tone from the moment we sat down and it just got better and better. The food explains why people are willing to wait as long as needed. Between all of us we had the California scramble, three types of waffles, garlic fries, and friend chicken and eggs. Perfection. Everything was cooked well and full of flavor. It feels like a diner, kind of loud but not frustrating. Definitely will return. Easy five stars here. read more

Came for brunch with my friend and her kid. It was a weekday so we got sat right away. The server was nice and brought us our drinks right away. The fresh squeezed mimosa was delightful and well worth it. I got the pecan waffle and it was amazing. The food took a while to come out but was worth the wait. My friend got the bubble sugar waffle and wasn't a huge fan. The bill was much more than I had expected for what we got. The original pancake house is more worth the money and the wait. read more

Fryers were down today, so no chicken and waffles. I had the south of the border plate. The carnitas are fantastic.
