Waffle House

I’ll give it two stars only because two employees made me smile. This place is full of people who seem to not care. I guess you can’t expect much out of a waffle house right? Well the lady that took my order was a funny character and made me smile and another worker also joked with me. That’s things that I do like. But other than that all the other employees acted hateful to each other which as a customer sitting there looks bad. I can hear and see what you guys are doing keep that to yourselves work is not the place for it. One girl answered her phone while at work. And whats worse is a guy came in with a name tag that said District manager on it. I don’t know if he really was or not but he walked past all the bull crap going on and said nothing. He laughed and joked and quite honestly didn’t give the manager impression. If that’s how the district manager is then its really no surprise that the other workers didn’t care. Hmm I always thought waffle house had better standards than that. Well all in all I guess it was an ok trip only because of those two employees that made me smile.

The absolute WORST experience I have ever had at a restaurant. First time in North Carolina and came in with 4 friends. The dude helping everyone told us he had to help everyone before us… even though there was only 2 people before us. Then came up and asked for our order in the worst way. Had an attitude and mumbled, asked him to clarify what he had said… points to the menu in a rude way repeating himself. Brought our food out one by one, item by item over the course of 7 – 8 minutes (not even going to go into how hard it was for a brotha to get strawberry jelly). I found a HAIR in my waffle! I went up calmly, showed the cook, and asked if I could get another waffle and I was met with, «well what color is it?»…I have a buzzed head btw. Didn’t apologize and brought me a new waffle, very rudely. When it came to paying my friend knowing I was pissed tried to take care of it, and they tried arguing saying I still needed to pay for my meal, even after the hair. They were all sooooo rude to him, and then complained that we didn’t leave a tip. Why the hell would we leave a tip after this service!!! Never again am I going to the Waffle House, but at least I have a good story. One star y’all.

As soon as I sat down I was told it would be 10 – 15 minutes before anyone would be able to «get to me.» I don’t understand why, as there were 2 tables with their food already, one waiting for service and us, with 2 servers and one cook on staff. As the server said this to me the cook walked past me and sat down at a table. This is the 3^rd time in a row I’ve had awful service and attitude from Waffle House. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere.

It’s been ages since I’ve been to a Waffle House. Honestly, this may have been the first time I’ve been to one in the daylight hours. It was busy for breakfast, but we found a seat quickly. Service was a bit slow to start, but ran smoothly after. I ordered the bacon cheesesteak breakfast sandwich, and it was delicious. Super friendly staff!
I’m only giving it 3 stars due to the small space and the slight confusion about where to pay at the end of our meal.

This is a great little late night spot to eat. The food is good and fast. There are a few employees who move way too slow but other than that, it’s fine. There is a lady named Melista who works here Wednesdays-​Sundays from 9pm-​7am and she is by far the best employee on staff! Incredibly friendly and a very hard worker. Unfortunately she is moving out of town at the end of August. Come during one of her shifts before then and you will get great service for sure!

FOOD: I wish they would stop burning my food. My waffles were burned and under cooked on the inside, we asked for them to remake it and got basically the same thing, burnt and uncooked. Coffee is on point!
Prices: Decent
I couldn’t give a higher rating because their sanitary problem. I think they are raising a family of flies as pets. I once went when it wasn’t busy and that’s when I noticed how filthy their equipment was. I was glad that they didn’t cross contaminate though.
I’ve had better and I don’t plan on vising this location again.
Service was quick and very friendly.

My dad went to a Waffle House with two of his coworkers yesterday morning
after a late night shift at work. My dad’s coworkers are African American
and he is Caucasian. The cook was African American. When the waitress put
in the orders, the cook made my dads coworkers food and when the waitress
asked about my fathers food he said «I AINT COOKING THAT WHITE MANS FOOD!»
Then the waitress had to cook the food for my father. He is having a hard
time dealing with this emotionally. He is a very sweet man and loved by all
who know him. This is outrageous and I we all know if the roles had been reversed this would already be on the news. We are seeking council for this and we will see this to the end. This can not continue to happen. #nowhitesatwafflehouse
Store location 4435 NC55 Durham NC

Standard waffle house with standard waffle house characters late night.
Get your hash browns like the Bloodhound Gang likes them… smothered and covered.

The food is great for the price, but the service is terrible. I ordered an iced tea with my waffles, and even though I bothered them three times for it, they never served it to me. I wound up leaving without it.

Let’s be honest. You’re not going to Waffle House for the amazing service. You’re not going there for the ambiance. You’re there for the hash browns, the low prices and people watching. This location is good for all 3.
The wait staff is adequate: the food comes quick, coffee is always full. I sent an order back and within 3 minutes I had a fresh, hot perfect plate. No worries there.
The people watching is also pretty amazing. There are definitely quite a few regulars at this location and their interactions with the employees alone are entertaining.
I’ll be back.

I wish I could rate a 0. Worst place I’ve ever been to. I’d rather eat out of a dumpster (it would probably be cleaner). Came in the afternoon when there were only 5 tables of people. Still, the one waitress stood at the counter the whole time, was rude, didn’t take one table’s drink orders, and didn’t give us our checks. 3 tables had to stand and wait for the cook to get our tickets and ring us up. The place was filthy. When the cook handed me the check, I noticed his nails were long and dirty. There was trash and grime all over the kitchen. The table was sticky and there was trash left on it too. The food was just gross. Eggs were barely cooked, toast was soggy, waffle tasted over-​processed and undercooked, steak was fatty and greasy and overcooked, hashbrowns were greasy and flavorless, sausage was overcooked and dry. My fiancé and I both felt nauseous after we left. Avoid this place.

I regularly go to this place. People are nice and friendly. The only what bothers me is the cleanliness. The kitchen gets dirty especially in the late night. Other than cleanliness. it is OK place.

Great food, great service. Your typical after hours spot. Our large party was handled swiftly and the few problems we had with our orders were fixed quickly. I will return!

I come a place where IHOP is king after a late night out on the town, but down here in the south I quickly learned that spot belonged to Waffle House. Oddly enough this is only my second time coming to one ever. This location was just like most Waffle Houses small, cramped, and filled with people who needed a late night meal after being out way past my bedtime.
Although the food came out quick and was hot, there’s just something about the waitress shouting out my order that kinda throws me off. But I can’t complain about our waitress she was great! She handled my large party and the other two large parties that came in after us with precision and attention. The prices were great and for all the food we got I see why people flock to the Waffle House after a party. The card machine was down that night so hopefully that has been fixed, but overall I wouldn’t mind coming back here for another round of eggs and grits.

Uuggh, I remember now why I don’t eat at Waffle house despite having 2 of them within a mile of my house. The hashbrowns are so greasy that they leave you feeling ill nearly immediately. To their credit, the price is on par with fast food and their waitstaff are friendly.

Came here THREE times while in NC to visit my parents around Xmas time. The first time I came in, I’d maybe had a couple of drinks and my friends and I may have made a bit of a scene. A friend and I got in a bit of a yelling match with each other in the entrance (I’m pretty sure the entire restaurant stopped what they were doing to listen in on the argument). HOWEVER, we were still seated and received excellent service (even after I made TWO special requests for my All-​Star meal (do yourself a favor: cheese on the grits (they’ll throw a slice of American in the middle) and extra crispy bacon)).
The other two times I came in, I got a peanut butter waffle (it’s a special), that was one of the top 10 waffles I’ve had in my life and a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, which, the cooks at the Waffle House couldn’t mess up if they tried.
It’s also fun to get the hash browns here. If you want extra stuff in them, they have special code words for it. For example, if you ask for smothered you get onions mixed in and covered you get cheese on top (both recommended). My buddy got his peppered (jalepenos) and chucked about four or five of those suckers on my plate (he said he was trying to be nice, but I’m pretty sure he was trying to mess with me). It was surprisingly good.
I had the same waitress all three times I was there. Even though she let out an audible sigh the second and third times I came in, my service was excellent and the bill was very small.

I didn’t have my first WH experience until I was in my mid-20’s and moved here from California. I think the waffles are quite delicious. I like choosing all the fun different toppings I can have on my hashbrowns, but be careful, as I’ve gotten something other than what I ordered more than once. I like sitting at the barstools. The waitresses and cooks are usually very nice. It’s easy to leave a $ 5 tip, which is almost the price of your meal, and just make their day when they’ve gone out of their way to be kind.

Normally, I would not write a review on a chain but since I am not a southerner I have to give my two thumbs up!

Decent food at a decent price.

I love the waffle house. it is always good to eat somewhere where food rules and not the ambiance. You go to waffle house to eat a quick breakfast or lunch and to not be worried about anything. The atmosphere is usually sad but the waitstaff was very friendly and the food was great. I had the ribeye and eggs and it was
steak was a little rare but the eggs were perfect and the biscuit and gravy was terrific. My wife had the waffle house breakfast and could not speak enough good things about the waffle and the toast and eggs. She loved it. We will recommend this to everyone who wants to eat a good breakfast fast and delicious.
