Ate a late breakfast here outside. The weather was very pleasant. The hostess was prompt and courteous. The waiter was attentive and stopped by frequently. The food was delicious. The presentation was spot on. While the cost was moderate, the portions were big. They could do as some do for dinner with petite versions at a lower cost. read more

Excellent spot for a different kind of breakfast. I had the mega berry waffles with vanilla bean syrup and it was so good I thought I was eating dessert. Hubby was happy with the breakfast tacos, especially liking the purple potatoes. The young man serving us was very pleasant and on top of it! Greeted very nicely as well. Thanks for the hospitality we will be back! read more

Let me start by saying that the food was absolutely amazing...I had the omelette and half waffle combo...tasted great well seasoned, nice portion size, etc...the only issue we had was the amount of time it took for us to be served...there must have been an issue in the kitchen because we sat for well over an hour after being seated and given our drinks...our waitress took drink orders and served the but was also very apologetic, even she couldn't understand what the issue was...once served the food for my entire family was great, we were given a discount (much appreciated) but again it took entirely too long...will try the one downtown next time and will go back overall read more

Very good soft waffles and eggs were very good too, coff is good in a small mug . Good atmosphere

The funky monkey is my favorite waffle! Perfect for if your feeling dessert for breakfast with the chocolate, peanut butter and banana combo. Love that it's also on special every Fridays. They have so many waffle varieties, they don't have too many other options other than omelettes. They also have gluten-free and dairy free waffle available to substitute. read more

Id like to update my prior review...the food is still great; we actually went back the next day. I ran into the GB fan again and he was actually pretty cool. My apologies for my impolite comments in my earlier review. read more

Wife and I were in Pittsburgh looking for a house to buy. We decided to stop in at Waffles Inccaffeinated do to the great Yelp reviews. I had 3 eggs over easy with bacon and home fries and white toast. Th eggs were cooked perfect and the bacon delicious, I did not like the home fries at all they were a combo of a bunch of different potatoes and not what I would consider home fries at all. The service was excellent and the waitress gave us fast and friendly service. I do not think I would go back again for eggs, But the waffles looked really good and might go back to try them. I thought the prices to be on the expensive side more than most places as breakfast for two was 30.00 with tip?? read more

It was pretty good I really liked my waffle. The latte was kinda plain tho it would be cooler if there was a design on it and if it was already a little sweeter I had to add so much sugar. I would go back but it was pretty expensive. read more

Worst service ever.... If you have an extra 1.5 hours to kill...this is your place. Watched people leave after an hour...order Fosters waffle and came out with one teaspoon of ice cream. My wife asked isn't this supposed to have ice cream and the waitress said it did...keep trying to give them a chance but same every time. read more

The food is really good here. I've been twice where I have eaten the Funky Monkey and Chicken and Waffle. The waffles are good perfectly and are never dry or chewy like some places that overcook them. Lots of good flavors and a fun concept. My only issue is that it's sometimes super busy and I've had to decide on an alternate place to dine. read more

This review is in regards to TAKE OUT and CUSTOMER SERVICE .... HORRIBLE!!!! First strike, take out is offered as an option on their website but this establishment as well as the fifth ave establishment will not answer their phones. They tell you to leave your name and phone number for take out. I don't know why because they will never call you back to actually get your take out order. I drove to the restaurant, went in, was not greeted, had to find someone and ask about take out, then wait in my car for 30 min. I come back in, again not greeted by the host or manager or whoever he was. I tell him I'm here for a take out order, he tells me I'm not doing take out right now. (If only people would listen). I said, my order was already placed. So now, we have to find who actually took my order. Horrible service. Horrible set up. Very confusing as to where to even go to get seated or place an order. This establishment should invest on ONE person to answer phones and take to go orders since TAKE OUT is offered on your website. Or, better yet, make take out orders available online. I won't be back, more so because of the horrible treatment to me as a paying customer. Word of mouth is EVERYTHING read more

The food is okay, Kinda pricey for the portions 20$ for half of a waffle and 2 tiny pieces of chicken strips. Should at least get a whole waffle for that price. read more

Got the sausage gravy and megaberry waffles (half of each). The looks and sounds of "gravy" waffles are not that appetizing but the taste was great. It's a great breakfast option where the gravy allows the waffle to not taste dry. The megaberry waffles is more of a dessert but was still good. I preferred the gravy waffles for it's uniqueness, taste, and because it was my breakfast. Our server was friendly and was ready to refill coffee once we were finished. At the end, we went up to pay for our meal when one of the staffers said "it's fine." We told her we had not paid yet and she said she understood and let us go. We were pretty mind-blown for getting a free breakfast. We left a tip but it was still extremely generous of them. For that, even if the food was mediocre I would come back just for that customer service. Definitely recommend! read more

I was a regular at this place when I lived in Pittsburgh over 6 years ago. It was the perfect place to go in the morning after a long night out or after a brutal night shift. I was happy to see that it was still running strong during my recent trip to Pittsburgh and knew I had to go. Everything was as quality as it was before. The menu looked to be about the same as I remember from years ago. I went with what I would call the restaurants signature dish - the Breakfast Magic. Bacon, eggs, cheddar cheese baked into and accompanying a perfectly savory waffle. The waffle was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Add the maple syrup for a perfect sweet/savory combo. I ate the entire thing, wanting more when I was done. My girlfriend got the veggie omelette, one of many non-waffle items they have to offer if you're not feeling a waffle. It was a huge, stuffed omelette, and she ate every bite. Waffles INCaffeinated was, in my opinion, one of the first trendy, contemporary American type restaurants in Pittsburgh. Now with the restaurant scene booming, it's good to see that they've help their own. read more

Waffles Inc. is a solid brunch option right along the main drag in Southside. It's almost always packed so it's highly recommended that you check in through Yelp's waitlist to get your place in line. There are also a few warnings posted that food will take a bit longer than comparable places, so it's not ideal for a quick in-and-out meal. Plan accordingly. The specialization here is, as expected, waffles, but they do offer traditional breakfasts, omelette, french toast, etc. as well as sooner build-your-own options. The food is generally good and sometimes amazing, though the chicken and waffles (at least the plate I had on my last visit) was a whiff. The chicken was too hard/crunchy and not all that satisfying. Other options, like the Megaberry, Funky Monkey, and Breakfast Magic have been better. What drops the score is the service, which can vary from visit to visit. On my last visit, we didn't see our server between the time we ordered and the time our food came out (and remember, they dutifully point out their long wait times for food) so we sat with empty drinks for quite awhile. This place would be more of a 3.5 if I could do half-stars. It's a potentially strong frequent brunch option but a little too inconsistent from visit to visit. I'm sure I'll be back to it eventually, but might wait a while before the next visit. read more

I was in town for my bodybuilding competition so what sold me was the Funky Monkey because it was everything I was craving (bananas and chocolate) but after going I came across their omelette menu! No one mentioned how great their omelets are! My favorite is the vegetarian delight. I added spinach and green peppers to it, SOOO GOOD with the goat cheese. My boyfriend and I both got it except he replaced the goat cheese with mozzarella, he LOVED his. Oh and the side of potatoes are the bomb read more

Couldn't think of a better place to celebrate National Bacon Day then to hit up a breakfast spot. Waffles Incaffeinated is one of our favorites but we have only been to the one in Wexford until today. I was surprised it wasn't busier since we arrived at prime breakfast time on a Sunday, nevertheless we were happy to get a table immediately. Don't forget free street parking on Sundays, nice perk! We ordered the Country Benedict and the B.L.T.(#nationalbaconday win!). My husband said the benedict was great, although he did say the amount of scallions was a little excessive lol. My BLT was perfect. A good amount of bacon, tomatoes, mixed greens and avocado with mayo. I also had the option of adding an egg to it for an extra charge. It came with a side of chips, would have preferred something different for a breakfast meal, but they are fresh and taste good so it wasn't all bad. Definitely love this place overall, and this was the first time we tried something other than waffles! Glad to know that waffles aren't the only items they excel at. read more

Cute little spot. Everyone seemed friendly. Had a latte that was super tasty. The only thing that I didn't like was that I ordered the Benny which comes with 2 poached eggs & one of my eggs was cooked all the way through. read more

Their waffles are delicious! Even more delicious is the fact that their gluten free waffles are equally as delicious as the regular ones. I can attest, I've had both! I like to create my own. While I'd LOVE to get the sweet options, I need to focus on getting some sort of nutritious value to it.... So I added blueberries. Simple, yet delicious! I didn't like the side sausage patty I got. It seemed that it came from a frozen pack. I'd like to think ti didn't, but the quality just wasn't there. I LOVE that they are on nowait, so you can put yourself in line virtually. Super helpful, especially on a Saturday/Sunday. Again, so happy to have this GF option. It's been a while since I've had a real waffle and love that they make them! read more

We came to this location after leaving the Wexford location since we were never greeted there. We joined the waitlist on the way and arrived at 11:35. We were sat at 11:55 and ordered. At 12:30 our server stopped by and said our food will be right out. At 12:45 a different server came out and said that they were out of what I ordered nearly an hour ago. I ordered something else with this new server. He came back out a few minutes later and said they were out of that too. We sat for almost an hour and a half and we're never served anything we ordered. I would think that after the order had supposedly been in for 45 minutes, the server would have been aware they were out of what I had ordered? Disappointed in both locations. This has been the third time at the South Side location we have had a bad experience--this is the first review I am leaving because of it. read more

Food was Blah and small eggs Benedict. Staff was very nice and coffee was good. Take out was quick and easy.

Amazing cute little place in South Side that has great waiters and waitresses. It was a busy time when we went but we got to walk around south side. Our meal was amazing and it came out super fast. I highly recommend this place. read more

Oh my god, I have died and gone to breakfast heaven. My twin sister went to visit my older sister in Pittsburgh last summer and found this place. They all loved it, so it was at the top of my list of places to visit while in town. This morning, right before we left, we had breakfast here and the anticipation and wait was well worth it. It was practically empty when we entered. Our waitress and the manager were both very sweet and we were taken great care of. My fiancé ordered the funky monkey with espresso dust and loved it. My brother-in-law and twin both ordered the souther' with avocado and they both finished theirs so my guess is they really liked it! My sister had the fosters and it was so good and she really loved it. As for me, I tweaked the breakfast magic, adding mushrooms inside and avocado on top! Amazing. And paired with the bourbon syrup it was so crazy good! We also ordered some of the sweet potato waffle fries and they were pretty good, too! The coffee was fresh and refilled quickly. I look forward to my next visit! read more

After almost stopping in for weeks, and seeing the intimidating line out the door, we finally made the plunge and were able to quickly get seated. That said, we were here at 830am. While sitting here we've see the line grow out the door. We ordered the mushroom chèvre, a mushroom omelette, and a savory waffle, the breakfast magic--their supposed best seller. You'd think if they've made it so many times they've have the process down pat. The omelette... I have never in my life had so much grease sitting around an omelette, and it was egg whites! The best part of my plate was the home fries, which were multi colored and delicious. The breakfast magic was nothing but. When you see a photo on a menu, when they take time to add a photo to a menu... It's got to look somewhat like that photo!! The waffle wasn't anything special and the egg was kind of sad. and small. Even though drinks were refilled quickly, the kitchen must have been very backed up because it took almost an hour to get our breakfast. I understand waiting at other places, but this is breakfast... More likely than not you should be in and out. I had to add more money to our car meter twice while we were here. Also, there is only one bathroom but there has been a line almost the whole time we've been here. Most importantly, WAY too loud for a breakfast spot -- acoustics are terrible and bounce the noise, and because the tables are so close together you hear other people's conversations word-for-word. Generally, staff is friendly and quick to refill the small coffee cups. The waitress upon leaving did offer us a to go cup for our coffee, which was much appreciated and honestly the best part of our visit. This place claims to be a great waffle experience in Pittsburgh, but it's closer to a Waffle House experience than most would like to admit. And you're overcharged for it. read more

After passing this place time and time again, I finally stepped inside and tried their waffles. It was definitely worth all the wait! We used Yelp to put us in line before we got there so we only ended up waiting 5-10 minutes to get a table. One downside of this place is that it took awhile for the food to come out. I ordered the Country Benedict and got the eggs cooked sunny side up. The combination of the waffle, perfectly cooked fried chicken, runny yolk and gravy was divine. If you separated these components, it would still taste amazing on its own. At first, the waffles did not look like it would fill me up but after I finished half of it, I was getting a bit full. Next time I come back, I plan on trying their dessert waffles! read more

The service got off to a bad start because we had a newer waitress. The was a lot of confusion on our order and there was a huge delay in our food making it to our table. Thank goodness for another waitress named Toy who saw the frustration on my girlfriend's face and decided to assist. She made sure the food make it to our table and she generously took care of the check. Thanks to Toy we will return to this location. read more

Been here 3 times. Food is delish!! However I always go for the veggie omelet, home fries and chicken sausage. I'm personally not a fan of the waffles however it's due to my own personal preference. The Waffles are soft and fluffy. I prefer my waffles with a slight crack to it. The family gets the chicken waffles, comes with breaded chicken tenders that are very tender. The other gets their waffles with multiple fixins mixed inside. Overall good food. Very busy and tight in space on the weekends. read more

Excellent choice and the waffles were amazing . The service was really nice and fast. The outdoor sitting and curbside tables are a bit noisy because of Carson Street. Also I recommend to wash the sidewalk in the end of the day or early am, like they do in Europe. Nice shade and good sitting. Big portions for good price. I will return! read more

I love this place so much! It's better to get there early (within the first hour of opening) because the line starts FAST. They have gluten free waffles which is exactly what I need, but you can't taste a difference. In fact, they taste better than other waffles I've had before I was gluten free. I also suggest getting a side of their sausage if you eat meat because it helps cut through the sweetness with all of the toppings on the waffle. Every time I've been there, the wait staff has been so nice and had gotten our food out so quickly! I seriously recommend this for anyone visiting Pittsburgh! read more

I just had an enlightening experience at Waffles Incaffeinated. Let me tell you all about it. I arrived a little late and found my party already seated at an outside table. I approached them and sat, but something seemed off. All of them had a stunned look on their faces, as if they had just see something very beautiful. I greeted my peers but they were still at a loss for words. I was about to get up to ask management what had happened to my friends, and then I saw it. Our waiter walked outside with the most gorgeous dump truck of an ass I have ever seen. I now understood my friends' pure disbelief. My jaw dropped to the floor. For the rest of the meal, I couldn't even concentrate on my food because of how mesmerized I was with that caboose. I can't say I remember finishing my meal, but I tipped generously and sadly parted ways with Waffles Incaffeinated. Until next time. read more

I was excited to try this place but the food was pretty mediocre. It lacked the flavor that I expected.

If you know Pittsburgh then you know this place is always packed on the weekends. Best advice - use the No Wait feature in Yelp to speed up the waiting process. Good news is it's worth the wait. This is the perfect causal breakfast/brunch spot. Nothing fancy, good food, quick service. We found street parking right outside, but you could also park at one of the South Side Works garages and make the short walk up the street. Start with a tea or coffee while you look over the menu - trust me it can be overwhelming! My beverage of choice is always a chai latte - I order a regular while my boyfriend has his dirty (one shot of espresso). The top half of the menu walks you through the waffle creations. If you're in the mood I promise you can't go wrong with the Banana Fosters. If you're looking for something else (yes I know, it's Waffles Incaffeinated) like omelettes or sausage, they have that too. I settled on the Southwest Omelette - egg whites, sausage, peppers, onions with a side of toast. My boyfriend ordered the BC breakfast. If you can't decide what you want, the BC is perfect - it literally has one of everything on it. We both left full and happy. read more
