Love this place! I eaten there multiple times now. I have never been disappointed with food (great job). Service: the servers do their best. I've not seen anyone not giving 100%. On one visit I did have a lengthy wait. It wasn't from lack of trying from the server. Sometimes folks there are circumstances beyond anyone's immediate control. The owner: She is pleasant, but doesn't seem approachable. Maybe it's me, I am a little on the unpolished side ... I will continue to support this establishment and update reviews if anything changes. read more

Nice place for breakfast. Plenty of waffles to choose from! If you are wanting something a little different than the standard Denny's type breakfast, go here. The interior is classic 50's diner style. There is plenty of parking. My grandson wanted to go here after trying the Waffle Experience in Elk Grove (definately worth it if you are in Elk Grove). He is on a waffle kick. The churro waffle did not disappoint. All the taste of a churro and ice cream on top! I forgot what my grandson ordered, I was too busy enjoying my waffles! He had a milkshake with his, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Wish I had taken pictures. I am not one of those people who take pictures of their food, and usually don't think about posting a review until after I've eaten. By then its too late for pictures. Give it a try, its worth it! read more

Lots of choices, (even for seniors with a drink), service is great, food is cooked the way asked. (They made some great improvements) Waffle mix is delicious, but chose corned beef breakfast. read more

When I first walked into this restaurant, I was greeted so kindly and with such genuine enthusiasm. I was invited to sit wherever I liked, and from that moment on, the service was exceptional. My waitress, Diana, was truly outstanding attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She even substituted a mimosa for regular orange juice so I could still enjoy the cotton candy garnish on top "candy cloud", such a thoughtful touch! The restaurant itself is absolutely adorable, decorated with a fun, nostalgic diner vibe. I loved the classic booths, the counter stools, and all the charming photos on the walls. Diana mentioned the decorations in the other room, so of course I had to check them out and take some pictures! Everything was just too cute not to! Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the tres leches specialty waffle with two pieces of bacon, two pieces of sausage, and two over-medium eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The waffle was so flavorful it didn't even need syrup, and the coffee was excellent, smooth, rich, and never bitter. Diana kept my cup full without me even having to ask. She truly seems to love what she does, and it shows in the way she treats her guests. I'm so happy I had the pleasure of being served by Diana today made the entire experience that much better. read more

American Waffle Diner - Breakfast plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Stockton, California

Review #940 Posted on 9.30.25 We came here to eat on Sunday the 28th in between soccer games at the Soccer complex. We got sat immediately after arriving, and got a nice corner booth. The old school diner feel to this place is awesome. It's got a diner countertop in the front of the restaurant, then a dining room area with plenty of tables, a bunch to accommodate different size groups/parties. To touch more on the old school diner feel, they've got that bubble type leather seating, a jukebox (which I think was just decorative, not real, but still cool), photos of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean everywhere, and even a place you can take photos at. The many has a nice selection, you can do breakfast or lunch. Breakfast has a 2 eggs with protein type section, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, etc. We tried a lot. Country fried steak which was good. Ham steak, Omelette, has browns, & we tried the Dubai chocolate waffle too. We'll come back for sure again when in the area for soccer. read more

It's a diner vibe in here with a variety of choices of waffle flavors. If you're into that and sweetness, there will absolutely be an option for you. I am a sucker for chicken and waffles so that is what I opted for that. I asked for berries on the side ($5 more) which came with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. I had 4 very different sized chicken. Same crunchy crispy bite with each. But it was just ok. Service was great. We had reservations and were sat right away. We were checked on and got our food in a decent time. read more

Loved the food, atmosphere, and the service was great and easy. American Waffle Diner welcomed in my family as we were seated. Great breakfast spot! We were served by the waitress Diana, she spoke Spanish and English and served us with the upmost respect and kindness. Thanks Diana! read more

Came here twice and the food was good. The first time I had the stuffed waffle and the second time the chicken and waffle and they were both good. I'm planning to try something new the next time. The only downside was that the table at our booth was a bit wobbly. read more

Fast and friendly service! Enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Platter. Eggs, sausage and bacon were all tasty. French toast was simply two smashed cinnamon rolls. Husband ordered the turkey sausage eggs Benedict. Simple but potatoes were pretty good. Might come back for a fruity pebbles waffle but that's about it. read more

Diana is the major gem at this place. Most diners offer good food and this is no exception. The flavored waffles and omelettes are worth the trip by themselves. But what distinguishes one diner from another is the staff and service. Diana is one of the best I've encountered at any diner. You would be hard-pressed to find better. I've seen her competently handle a rush that would leave another waitress panicked and overwhelmed. Another thing that helps this place is that it has a counter. For many people this can make a difference when eating by themselves. When you're by yourself, it's just pleasant. But sometimes a conversation will start with someone else at the counter. That can be a great addition to a solid meal. read more

OK, first of all let me say that this is the first time we have ever been to this place even though I was told that this place has been here for a while so we decided to try it out this time we had breakfast. I had my usual chicken, fried steak and eggs with the pancake And my wife had an omelette overall I say it's pretty good. Their country potatoes were actually better than the hashbrowns to me and usually for me it's the other way around so that was the difference Service here was excellent. The lady that helped us was very nice. Ambience was very good. I like the 50 style diner look Will be back soon to try out the lunch so I can raise the stars up so if you're in the area, try it out let us know what you think. I will put up a couple of pictures of my plate. read more

American Waffle Diner is one of the best breakfast spots in Stockton! The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. Everything came out hot and tasted homemade. The waffles were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the rest of the breakfast was just as good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The retro diner atmosphere gives the place a unique charm and makes it a fun spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a cozy diner experience, I highly recommend American Waffle Diner. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I would've gave 5 stars but they didn't have the pistachio latte or the tres leches I wanted. The price was to high for me, $40 for a French toast plate with a regular cup of coffee is ridiculous.

I really wanted to love this place, but the service was disappointing. We were seated quickly, which was a great start, but then waited nearly 25 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Not sure if it's because we were sitting on the other side of the restaurant but we didn't see a server in sight for quite awhile. By the time we finally saw a server, they had already taken a table's order that came 15 minutes after us and they were off to the other side before we can even signal them. Food came out fast, which I appreciated but service could have been a lot better. read more

The food was bland and uninspired. I hate cooked bell peppers and always look to make sure none are listed as ingredients in whatever I order. Upon trying the country potatoes (which were undercooked due to size probably) I found a few large pieces of cooked bell peppers which didn't look like they belonged so apparently they mix food while cooking. Biscuits and gravy are no more than heavy biscuits with white gravy heavily peppered don't expect sausage. The omelette was light on eggs, sausage was sliced sausage links not ground sausage like most places have. The hash browns were overcooked to the point just short of burnt, no butter was included for the toast. The best part of the meal was the side of French toast. Since we ordered to go, it's pointless to go and complain but Yelp will do. Not recommended for anyone who likes seasoning in food. read more

Hello, We came by for breakfast on October 18. During our last visit, there was no check-in table, but this time, a lady with long reddish hair and glasses asked us to check in on the tablet, which we did. I noticed a few open tables inside and thought the wait would only be a few minutes, so we decided to stay indoors. A few moments later, the same lady approached us again and told us to wait outside or in our car. The way she said it came across as rather rude. I've been coming to this restaurant for quite some time, and the staff are usually very kind and helpful. I haven't seen this lady before, and I hope she isn't the owner, because that interaction was disappointing. She could have simply said something like, "Please sign in and wait outside, as there are other parties ahead of you." I didn't realize there were others waiting since there were several open tables. Unfortunately, we decided to leave and go somewhere else. I hope she can be more approachable in the future. read more
