Waffle House #1000

This is by far one of the best Waffle Houses that I have had the pleasure of visiting. The staff if friendly and will remember you. This isn’t limited to jus the wait staff, even the cooks take the time to know notice who orders which meals. I’m usually stopping in here on second and third shift during the week. I’m know for always getting my cup in a Togo cup, being the weird girl who likes chewy bacon, and liking to have my hash-​browns steamed instead of fried. Not every time but I like to rotate through the menu. Its a great place where people bring there kids and even older couples come to have a simple meal. Always happy to come here and have a bite to eat. :)

Never been to a Waffle House before, so I was a bit hesitant before going in. This place did not disappoint! Now, the food was good, not great, but I’m judging this one mainly in the level of service we received…
Our server’s name was Curtella (not sure on the spelling), and she was awesome! Super attentive, constantly checking on us and reassuring us that the things we would ask for would be there very soon… Just overall excellent service with her. I think she refilled my coffee like 5 times without me having to ask. Score! I was not expecting such great service from this place, being unfamiliar with the chain (or the south, in general).
Oh, and coffee to go at no extra charge? Yes please!

This was my 2^nd visit to a Waffle House and it was great. We went without the kids on a Sunday morning and it was a packed house. The service was not super fast, but I did not mind. I loved how my coffee cup stayed full and hot. My waffle came out way before the rest of the food. Our server offered to make me a new one. So nice! How the people on the line remember all of the orders being shouted at them, I have no idea!

Get cheese on everything. Cheese on your hash browns scrambled eggs and waffle. Ignore the sour mop water smell.

Ahhhhh… good olé Waffle House! Nothing like hitting up this place whenever the hell you want! I had to give this location a solid 4 stars because they are always there for me when I need a late night, fat boy moment! I’m reminiscing over the All star special that I always get and it’s always satisfying! Nothing about this place stands out from any of the other Waffle House locations but this is MY Waffle House… there are many like it but this is mine. I’ll continue to frequent… Pecan Waffle, cheese eggs, raisin toast with apple butter, sausage, & plenty of syrup… yeah I think I need to visit again after writing this review… good ol Waffle House… it just makes my soul happy!

Don’t get me wrong — I know breakfast spots are hoppin’ on Sat am’s. But holy s**t, I felt like I was put on the back burner because I had a to-​go order. I also paid upon ordering, which no one else did. So not only did I HAVE to wait for my food, I had to wait behind people who still needed to pay for their orders. I saw dine-​in customers that came in after me, get their food before me. Not to mention there were 5 people standing around staring at each other while to-​go people built up in one line.
Not going back unless I have time to sit around and wait.

Ok my review was better than this (not to say that my review was all that great to begin with). The food was ok but the service tonight man oh man it was the worst. I ask for one thing & get something else make a request & that’s ignored & they do what they want. All this & I have to pay for it :(
I’m going to avoid this one for awhile & please don’t get «hyniece» as your waitress. With a name like that I should have known she’d be crap.

This used to be my go to WH since it’s basically the first one (across the street from the origonal site and museum) but when I went yesterday the service was super slow and the place was a mess with standing water on the floor.
I love WH and I don’t expect them the be spotless, but this place was a real mess and none of the staff seemed to care.

This Waffle House has changed allot in the past years, and if you haven’t been there in the past 6 months, I’m warning you, don’t bother EVER coming back here again. Yes, it’s gone that far down hill.
In the last month I’ve experienced some of the worst possible service here. Here are a few:
HAIR IN FOOD
OVER PRICING EVEN THOUGH THE MENU IS STILL ON THE TABLE
BRINGING OUT THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ORDERED
RUDE SERVICE
DIRTY TABLES
SLOW SERVICE
AND BEING COMPLETELY IGNORED BY THE WAITRESSES
Honestly last night takes the cake, though they are always rude and slow.
–First the waitress makes us wait to take our order, because she’s out smoking.
–Second when she brings over my water she spills it all over me, I swear she must be a magician because magic must have been involved to push the glass over in the manner she preformed. I start cleaning up the water with napkins and my dress is already soaked. My mother and I our so exhausted that we just laugh and don’t get mad at her. We tell her everything is okay… but guess what she’s not sorry for spilling the water but pissed off at our laughter… the nerve
–It took the cook over 30 minutes to make my omelet… the restaurant was almost empty. so I just sat there drinking my nasty coffee (thank god she didn’t spill that on me) Finally when my food comes out, it;s mediocre just like always.
— I ask our waitress for some water at this point, in a new glass because it spilled on the floor (her fault) and the only thing in it is the ice that I cleaned off the seat. She looks at me for 30 seconds like I’m speaking German.
–The waitress ignores us for the rest of the experience and goes outside to smoke, she’s gone for 25+ minutes and we never see her again. So all the customers start complaining and pitching fits.
— NOW HERE’S THE WORST PART! My mom asks the cook or whatever she is, for some water, (at this point ²⁄₂ waitresses are outside smoking or whatever) and the cook just wobbles by and says «Eh…I’ll get around to it» She doesn’t get us water and goes outside with the waitresses. Now the only people in the restaurant are the customers and the workers stay outside for 10 minutes.
We shouldn’t have paid for our food at all, but we did, at least we didn’t tip, not like the waitress was inside anyways.

Didn’t get to eat…
I work 5 minutes away from this Waffle House and take a one hour lunch. Two co-​workers and I came for lunch. We waited 45 minutes for our food and had to leave hungry because our order still wasn’t done!
The store was not particularly crowded and we received not even an apology when we left, even though the sound of our stomachs rumbling must have been deafening.

Always busy great service.

It’s a Waffle House, they have the standard Waffle House menu and décor. It is the Waffle House closest to Downtown Decatur. I enjoy Waffle House, hence the four stars. This Waffle House is located steps from the original Waffle House which is now the Waffle House Museum (which can be viewed by appointment only, I have yet to make an appointment). My favorite memory from this particular Waffle House is when a local homeless man came in and pulled out five crisp dollar bills and put them in the jukebox and played every single song on there by Johnny Cash. It was about 3 a.m. and Folsom Prison seemed oddly appropriate.

I am someone who appreciates Waffle House for what it is; a greasy 24-​hour glorious mecca for delicious waffles, truckers, late-​night drunkards, and freaks from all walks of life. I love it first thing in the morning, or in the middle of the night. Sober, or in an altered state. With a group of friends, or alone at the counter. If you don’t have this understanding of Waffle House, then chances are you won’t ever appreciate it.
This particular one is closest to my house, and I’ve been averaging one visit a month over the last few months. Every time, I’ve had exceptional service, and the food is just as inviting as the hundred times before, at a few dozen different Waffle Houses I’ve called my own.
For a true Waffle House experience with a friendly staff, make a visit to this great Decatur location!

How I love Waffle House! When it’s not busy in this location, they sometimes turn the music up, making a delicious experience even more fun. Friendly service, and even with all my oddball requests (one slice of cheese not two in my eggs, dry toast, and can you put, like, half the amount of oil in the hash browns?) I never get evil looks from any of the employees.

IT TAKES EXPERIENCE TO APPRECIATE THE WAFFLE HOUSE, to notice differences in perfection, variations among meals and what is truly good from what is claimed to be excellent by under-​achieving foodies who give bad food a bad name simply because they don’t know any better.
Myself being an under-​achieving know-​it-​all, going to Waffle House is difficult. Enjoying one during the day is impossible and never an option, but dining there in the dead of night is the best and only time to attend these yellow shacks of butter-​infused-​bacon-​waffle goodness. At 1:30 a.m. after writing all day with a brief disruption of beer, beef, and more writing, I sit here thinking, counting the minutes and contemplate waking up my girlfriend and dragging her to a 3 a.m. meal.
Sure it’s always an option when you’re coming home from the bars or a night out at MJQ, but really — and I mean this with the seriousness of a bitter twenty-​something… go somewhere else. Waffle House is best for the serious, for those who work overnight, or their shift starts at 4 a.m.
The better ones, the ones just off highway exits or in bad neighborhoods, those are the ones you want and that no group looking to soak up their alcohol bloodstreams should choose as their after hours food spot.
Sitting at the counter, eating my perfectly balanced plate of a greasy sandwich variation with absolutely perfect hash browns and bitter coffee puts me in a mood not happy to see them. Sitting there with the 3^rd shift of every job filling the seats and booths is comforting — even if I am only an occasional weekend visitor.
The food is excellent. It’s what you should expect and if you expect anything different from the food or the service, then you’re not there for the same reason as the rest of us at 3 a.m. Find a great location and the food rivals any breakfast spot, seriously. It’s not for everyone. It’s not for the happy-​customer-​service-​oriented diners who want to be treated ‘right’ — and that is exactly why I like it.
