American Waffle House has great brunch/lunch. Fresh coffee, the best waffle with real Vanilla Ice cream added a little bottle of pure maple syrup -worth a few dollars more, quesadilla breakfast that I tried today made by Cook Hugo was perfect, comes with sour cream and salsa cups,so good and really good service and friendly helpful wait service. read more

Real small town cozy vibe. The food is affordable. They have a large discounted menu for seniors and kids. The food is real comfort old school diner. They have the best french toast and waffles. You have to order the fried chicken. It's so good! The prices are extremely fair for the portions. They have their own little free parking lot in the back. The service is always great. read more

6/20/26. Similar to an old school diner with classic breakfast and lunch fare. I chose the hungry man special ($21.99) bc it had a bit of everything. I was told it's owned by someone local, so I'm happy to support this place. Food was good, coffee was hot, and service by Gloria was perfect! read more

Average Breakfast, Disappointing Food Quality & Hidden Fees My recent breakfast experience at American Waffle House in Seaford, NY, was average at best. Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations, especially for a restaurant with "Waffle" in its name. The eggs were small and undercooked, while the waffle itself was nothing special--just an average waffle that lacked anything memorable. The bacon and sausage appeared to have been precooked and simply reheated rather than freshly prepared. The omelet was equally disappointing, lacking flavor and seasoning. Service was acceptable, but nothing particularly stood out. What bothered me most was discovering an unexpected "service charge" only after reviewing my receipt. At no point was this additional charge clearly brought to my attention. There was no obvious disclosure explaining the fee or whether it was associated with using a credit card instead of cash. New York State law requires businesses imposing credit card surcharges to clearly disclose their pricing upfront. Customers should know the full cost before ordering, not discover additional charges after the transaction is completed. Regardless of the amount, it's the principle. Transparency should be a basic part of doing business. Overall, three stars. Mediocre breakfast food, adequate service, and an unexpected charge discovered on my receipt made for a disappointing experience. With so many breakfast options on Long Island, I expected better quality, fresher preparation, and more straightforward pricing. read more

American Waffle House - Service fee - American Near Me - Seaford, New York

Very hardy, traditional American breakfast menu. Service was friendly but a little erratic. We had a large table - 10 people - and the first people to get served were nearly done with their meal before the last ones got served. The inside was clean and simple - exactly what you'd expect a "Waffle House" to look like. However the food was delicious, the waffles were light, the eggs cooked perfectly, and we all left with full bellies and a smile on our faces. read more

Better than any overpriced diner. Exceptional service and food quality for breakfast.

My first time coming here and I'll definitely be back. Retro old school diner and they capture the vibe nicely. There's parking in the back and there are two entrances as well. The furniture and the pics all add to the retro feel and they have tables and booths. The menu has breakfast, lunch and dinner options and you can order anything on the menu at anytime. I had breakfast even though it was evening. The pancakes and waffles were good. So was their chocolate milkshake. Food came out quickly and our server was very cool. I'll definitely be back. read more

We went today for the first time with some friends. It was a little crowded for the holiday weekend but the food was good and the staff was very pleasant. We ordered nuggets and fries for the kiddo, and a Ruben sandwich and chicken avocado panini for the wife and I. Everything was very good and the prices were normal diner type prices. We would definitely go back, I like places like this. read more

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. read more

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. read more

nice quick breakfast when in a rush I actually bought a couple of their coffee mugs as a souvenir while on a road trip

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! read more

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! read more

I really hate to do this as this was one of my favorite breakfast places. I understand all about inflation and cost of doing business today....but, $27.86 is a bit ridiculous for an omelette and a coffee. Not only that but the bill had an additional $3.00 added on top with no explanation. It was taken off the bill. Later on, I noticed $1.11 " admin fee" added to my debit card charge. Add that all together and my total including tip was $28.97. FOR an OMELETTE! I can do much better ANYWHERE else. read more

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. read more

We were in the area and came here for a late breakfast. Cute looking place. Our son was upset we came here first before going to get ice cream so he was being super dramatic but no one seemed to mind his laying on the floor lol. Pancakes came out and he was up in the booth. Service was great. Food was good. Only thing was there was a hair in my omelet but these things happen. If you go out to eat constantly you just need to realize these things can happen. It's gross but I'm not gonna rant or wasn't gonna make a scene about it. Only taking off a star due to that. Good prices and hopefully that was a one time, rare thing! My hubs spotted it before me and it was after I almost finished my omelet. Our son ate his pancakes like they were going out of style so that was a good thing. I'd go back here since it was good food and it was a cool looking place. read more

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! read more

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. read more

When we couldn't get in anywhere else we decided to try American Waffle House! Old-school looking diner-type setup. Cashier to pay on the way out, old looking menus, retro looking booths. As we were being seated I saw a sign for Oreo waffles. On Yelp I saw a review of the funky hashbrowns. I was immediately sold on both. It took a bit for our waitress to come to us but we let that slide since she was incredibly sweet. The Oreo waffle was amazing and I ate the whole thing. No fancy syrups from what I saw. Plain ol' maple on the table and that's what you get. We split the funky hashbrowns which were potatoes, onions, ham, and cheese. It wasn't very appetizing by the looks of it but it tasted incredible. Somehow all the flavors come together and holy moly it was good. We were bummed we were too full to finish it. My SO had the french toast which he said was delicious. It came with eggs and sausage, all of which he said were very good. Prices are fair. The portion can range from medium to large but no doubt you'll leave full. They have a full lunch/dinner menu too but I have a feeling this is a place people go when they want breakfast at any time of day (it is served all-day, after all). Really solid place that we can't wait to visit again. read more

I was super excited to bring my wife and son to this small luncheonette style restaurant. I had come once before with my son and it was exceptional. This time, however, was quite different. I am all about supporting small business and love quaint spots. To start, my pregnant wife needed the bathroom and come to find, there was no toilet paper or any paper in the bathroom. She ordered the egg sandwich and specified that she cannot have any runny eggs in the dish since she is pregnant. We later found out, after being served runny eggs, that she was charged extra for her specific cook-type on the egg, plus an extra egg that was never requested. My son got the chocolate chip pancakes which the first-time around came with a small side of whipped cream. When we asked for that same small side, we received a decent portion, but were charged $3 for some whipped cream. It was my son's birthday and the waitress did bring my son a small ice cream with candle, that was nice...but all of these little disappointments unfortunately took over. Add a credit card fee for the cherry on top. $50 before tip for breakfast with an egg sandwich, a kids meal, and an omelette. read more

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. read more

Good place for fussy kids. Food is ordinary at best. Staff is friendly and nothing special Not exspensive

Just went for the first time yesterday morning with the fam. Street parking right in front and no line to get in. Super quick service, like so fast! Our waitress was extremely sweet and also very attentive. We didn't get waffles (definitely next time) but the pancakes, egg sandwich, and fresh fruit were all excellent! We were in and out and with a toddler that's definitely appreciated. She even brought his cereal out first to get him started. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ok ok another biased review by yours truly. This place used to be on Sunrise Hwy in Massapequa by White Castles waaay back in the day. It closed and I was devastated! Nowhere else served Chicken & Waffles at that time let alone grits & pecan waffles. This was unheard of at the time. Fast forward to a snowy day in December when Food Boo Justin P calls up to say he's hungry and wanted the infamous Chicken and Waffles from Big Daddy's. Ummmm Jus you do know it's only 10 o'clock! So I suggest trying this spot out which I suspect but I'm not sure is the reincarnation of the Sunrise Hwy spot. Clang clang clang bells & whistles ring out loud. Yes! Yes! This is it! Same tiny tasty fried chicken. Same fluffy well cooked waffle. But low & behold the same dag gone funky hash browns from when my son was in elementary school! Jackpot! Cindy our waitress was THE BEST from our first introduction. Sooo you have nice juicy breasts?! Justin likes that. I like thick thighs myself. And the jokes rolled on. Yup! I will definitely be back. And yeah me and dark haired dude discussed snazzing up the menu a bit!! Stay tuned! 1-1-2018 read more

Had the chicken and waffles and I must say, I am impressed how something so simple can be so good. The chicken skin was crunchy, the meat wasn't dry and the waffle was buttery and yummy.

We are new to the neighborhood and we're looking for our new breakfast spot.... We found it! Stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday and loved everything we ordered. My husband had the Belgium Waffle Special and throughly enjoyed it. He said the sausage had a great flavor. He liked that the chocolate chips and pecans were even throughout the whole waffle. I had a corned beef & cheese omelet and the serving was huge! We shared the funky hash browns (potatoes, ham, onions & cheese) loved the crunch and sweetness from the onions and the salt from the cheese and ham. Highly recommend them! Our waitress, Bridget, was a delight, quick and attentive. We didn't wait long for a thing! The other staff was very friendly & refilled our tea and water quickly. We will most definitely be back! read more

When we were seated for dinner, we were the only customers in the restaurant, which was a little off-putting. The food was good. The service not so much. I ordered a diet coke and the server (only one) gave me a regular, trying to pass it off as diet. I ordered egg white omelet and probably got regular eggs. He said they were egg whites, so maybe they were egg beaters. Tasted good. Got the bill and wasn't charged extra for eggs whites, so he probably never wrote egg whites. It's a cute place that's clean and the food is good and well priced, however the service we got wasn't good. read more

This place exceeded my expectations and I'm so happy about it. Diners in the area have become increasingly expensive and I try and avoid them at all costs. This place had an old school diner feel with old school prices to match! You walk through the front and make your way to the register to be seated. We arrived a little after 1pm on a Saturday and the place was basically empty. We were seated quickly and got our drink ordered taken and filled instantly. The menu is precise with good options and great prices. To be honest I knew what I was ordering when I walked through door. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of hash browns while my honey ordered pork chop and scambled eggs with grits and rye toast. The chicken and waffles was delicious. It was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had and the portion was large for the $11 price tag. The waffle was fluffy and sweet and it was just perfect. My fiancé loved his meal. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and the eggs were delicious too. He thought the toast was especially good and the grits were tasty. The hot sauce was a good addition. 2 meals plus a side came to $28. Such a steal. Service was great, food came out quickly, and it was hot and fresh. read more

Looked like a win when we sat down ,great service,waitress was excellent but the food was below average. My omelette was thin and overly salty and my hash brown wasn't even up to McDonald's standards.
