    Chocolate Chip Waffles

    Great place to go. Very old school vibe with classic fare. Waffles were fresh and tasted great. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Well worth the drive and I will definitely be going back.

    Delicious #3: waffle with bacon and eggs over easy.

    My wife, a new immigrant, was even more taken with my this place than I. The music and the decor take you back to your childhood, whether you grew up in the 50's, 60's or 70's. Just the items on the table; such a simple touch; make this American Waffle House a special place to have a nicely-cooked diner breakfast. The service is very good and you can enjoy breakfast anytime; as well as lunch or dinner. The waffles, naturally, are a great option, but everything they make is tasty fresh and served rapidly.

    Generous portions!!! We ordered 5 silver pancakes and received a few more pancakes! Thank you! We ordered 2 eggs with hash brown and toast and received extra toast! Thank you so much! The chicken and waffles are absolutely delicious! Flavorful chicken and good textured waffles, just cooked perfectly! Add butter and you're in food heaven! We loved our lunch dine-in! The baby girl cannot wait to go back for another great lunch experience!

    If you want a monster sized breakfast for your monster sized appetite, the waffles and pancakes here are calling your name. Not to be confused with the Waffle House chain known throughout the South, this is the American Waffle House! ::wave the red, white & blue:: If the giant US flag doesn't fill you in, then park your keister in a red diner booth to experience a real American breakfast. There's on-street parking in front and plenty of spaces in the fully reconstructed municipal lot in the back makes driving here super convenient. Grab a red vinyl booth along the walls or the tables in the middle can be parked together to handle large groups of 10-16. The menu is a 3 section gatefold with full pages for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's even a children and seniors section if you want more reasonably sized, economical eats. But AWH is famous for their BIG Breakfasts. You can order the Hungry Man's Special, where you'll get a pancake stacked on top of a Belgian waffle and the sides are 2 eggs (cooked your way), bacon, sausage and hash brown patty. If that's not enough for you, then get an order of their exclusive Funky Hash Browns, grill top chopped-up concoction of hash browns, ham & cheese. Or get a side of corned beef hash, which you can get extra crispy well done. There are also smaller breakfast combos if you're not ravenously hangry. The Chicken & Waffles are a local favorite also. You get 4pcs of a crispy fried 1/2 chicken and a whole Belgian Waffle. The waffle was freshly made, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My chicken last time was dry and seemed freezer burned, though. When the bones are black, you know that it's been in the freezer for a while. I really want to come back next time and try out their burgers. Our server both times was Bridget and she is a gem!

    Sat us right down for a party of 6. Very cute vibe inside, retro diner! Menu had a lot of options for all. Especially breakfast. There is no avocados unfortunately. The kitchen messed up our omelette orders forgetting to put bacon in and forgot to provide hash browns with my BLT order. They corrected it. The waffle was very good too.

    We dined in for breakfast for the first time today and we were greeted and seated quickly. Upon walking in you could feel the hometown vibe of this restaurant. The inside is decorated with classic American paintings, red booths and a big American flag over the front door. I had the French toast with bananas and Nutella, which was absolutely delicious. I've only ever had dry French toast at diners but this was anything but dry. It was perfect. Our table also ordered a waffle with bacon and eggs. The eggs were cooked just right and the bacon was crispy. Overall, this breakfast spot was a hit not only for the good food and Americana decor, but the service was just above and beyond. Our server was great and kept offering coffee when we got low, we were really taken care of. I would recommend this for breakfast but also saw they have a huge menu for lunch/dinner too, plus they are open late!

    A nostalgic style diner, I just breakfast they have lunch and dinner too, they're open early and late for seven days, plenty of free parking in the rear of the building, inside, set up like a traditional 50's style diner, Big comfortable booths, Great staff service was very good, the food is outstanding, fresh, very tasty, good quality and fair prices, I enjoyed the hungry man, special, monte Cristo sandwich was delicious, very diverse menu, something on there for everybody

    I'm the kind of person who gets jealous when I see the owner of a diner chatting it up with the regulars. What do they have that I don't? Consistency, I guess. My husband has been coming here from years and had been dying to go back since we moved to Seaford. We finally went and I was super impressed with the cleanliness and commitment to social distancing during the Covid era. The waitress was a pleasure and the food was omg delish! Like, SO delish. Cut to- I spy the owner hamming it up with some guests. Everyone was laughing at his jokes and genuinely having a great time. Cue my jealousy. But then... just as we're about to leave... the owner notices us and strikes up a conversation (I don't even remember now what it was about. I was just on such a high from finally being recognized). It dawned on me that the patrons he was previously chatting with were probably not even "regulars". The owner is just so welcoming and nice to everyone that he makes you feel like you belong. Great food, quintessential diner ambiance, and a strong focus on genuine hospitality is what makes this place amazing. If you haven't gone, go! We will be back.

    Simplified quintessential American dining experience with no frills. It feels like going back to the 90s and it's wonderful to have a place with no electronic distractions.

    I'm a breakfast guy favorite meal,always searching for good breakfast restaurants. Living in Seaford almost 3 years now.Have passed this place on busy Merrick Rd many times,never stopped because didn't realize plenty of parking in back.Last time went to Seaford Cinema in back I was like Oh there's that restaurant! My new go to place.Nice Waitresses and staff,Clean, foods good, reasonably priced. If you like crispy home fries ask here lol.Cant forget I don't like booth seating because most places are tight!Always request a table. Plenty of room for Chuck here lol

    The food was very good and the atmosphere had a really wonderful old school diner feel. I noticed on my check that the waitress had charged me 13.99 for my meal but 12.99 for my fiance. When i tried to bring up the difference in price for the same meal to the old lady at the register she said well you added whipped cream to yours. I tried to inform her that there already was an additional charge on the receipt for the whipped cream and said the two meals should be the same price. She just didnt seem to wrap her head around it and then looked and talked us as if we were stupid and kept insisting one was more expensive because of the additional whip cream. At that point i gave her an incredulous smile and said never mind just charge me for the bill as is. You see, i was bringing to her attention that our waitress had undercharged us for his meal by a dollar. If you want to disrespect your customers making them feel stupid because you insist your correct, then your business just lost money. While i really loved the food don't know if I will be back.

    We found this restaurant on yelp. It was amazing. The food was delicious. Huge mug of coffee and…read morenice pot of tea. The service by Brian B. was exceptional. The restaurant was busy. He was helpful ( wasn't sure what to order) and attentive. His overall attitude was so gracious. I would drive to come here again. Caution we were here on a weekday mid morning. I can not imagine how crowded it must get on weekends Also, there is a parking lot and a rear entry door.

    My friend and I visited for breakfast and were understanding about the 15-minute wait due to…read morereservations. Our actual server was kind and polite throughout the meal, and I appreciate that. However, once we finished eating, our plates were taken away and we were immediately asked to pay the bill, while other customers around us were still seated and talking without being rushed. The treatment felt inconsistent and uncomfortable. Additionally, when I paid using Apple Pay, another server was telling the manager to "check their license" to make sure it matched the Apple Pay due to "fraudulent cards." I have used Apple Pay at many establishments and have never been asked to provide identification in this manner. The interaction felt unnecessary and made me feel singled out. To make matters worse, my chicken was still pink inside. I chose not to complain at the time because I did not want to create an issue, but looking back, the overall experience was disappointing. I hope management reviews how situations like this are handled so all customers feel equally respected and comfortable.

    8/13/25 Mixed review.  The good- We ordered ZUCCHINI STICKS ($10.99), CHICKEN SOUVLAKI PLATTER…read more($26.99) and the BROILED FILET OF SOLE ($20.99).  The zucchini sticks were most likely frozen but they arrived hot and crispy, and they were good! Sauce was no bargain.  Even though the chicken souvlaki platter was offered online it was not on the menu inside, but they made it anyhow.  The seasoning on the chicken was so flavorful, really delish.  The sole was a nice portion and tasty...because it was swimming in butter, just fyi.   Gabby, and Elizabeth who was very new, were our severs. Not as attentive as I expect, but both were super friendly.   The not so good. I was asked if I wanted soup or salad, so I opted for salad.  Then when my entrée arrived it also had a salad.  Had I been told, I would have opted for a vegetable or soup, not 2 salads!!  All of the dishes came out at the same time. Our entrees came out mere minutes after our app.  The restaurant has to be loudest I ever been to. Horrible acoustics. I was looking forward to dessert, and I tasted a few flavors but they didn't do it for me. Def not enough mix ins. Pistachio flavor was lacking.  Honestly, most flavors looked like they were melting, so unappetizing (see pic). Passed on dessert!
