I had very high expectations for brunch at this spot, and they were exceeded! Waffles are inventive and executed perfectly. The eggs benedict waffle with pulled pork is insane...so are the breakfast potatoes! We wanted to try more on the menu but were so stuffed..will def. be going back! read more

What happened? My husband and I ate here a few months ago and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly one of the best brunches we've had- the huevos rancheros was what did it. It was so good. So we went back this am and brought 2 friends and it was...not good at all. The huevos rancheros was totally bland and flavorless. 2 of us ordered chip beef hash which was supposed to come out with sunny side up eggs but they were scrambled, and my friend ordered her eggs soft boiled, and they came out scrambled. Don't really care about that- we are flexible- but just want it to taste good!! Very sad, as we were super excited to have them open in our n'hood. Maybe it was just a bad day. I should give 2 stars but I feel bad doing that and will give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just a very bad day. read more

I live in the building next door to waffles and was so excited when it opened. They offered the residents in our building a discount which was so cool. But you only get the discount from 7-11 am Mon-Thurs when like everyone else in America, I am at work. I thought I wouldn't have to walk down to Yolk to get a great brunch, but I was wrong. For $10 you get one medium sized waffle. That's it. Sides are extra. Absolutely no chance you will take leftovers home. The three times I have been there my waffles tasted good (sweet more than savory, even the chicken waffle), but they have never been hot. Either served lukewarm or cold. I ordered the chipped beef and hash once and unfortunately had to send it back. It too was cold and required a bit of salt and pepper. The hot chocolate flights are awesome though! I will not return to Waffles as I feel my money goes much further for better food at both Yolk and Bongo Room down the street even if I have to wait 45 minutes vs the 30 minutes to be seated at waffles. read more

Food is so-so (came back a second time because friends wanted to try it). Green tea waffles were dry and cold when they got to our table. Definitely not worth the 45 min wait. Word of advice - make sure the host gets your info right when you put your name in. If you don't get a text right away, it didn't work. Apparently the technology doesn't always work...or the morons typing your info in don't know how to use the system. They "lost" our names this morning and we had to wait twice as long for very average food. If you're looking for something in the south loop area, better to spend your time and money at Yolk, Eleven City, or the Bongo Room! read more

My friend and I ventured to this cafe after purchasing a deal on Groupon. I arrived a few moments before she did, but the waiter made sure to stop by and check on me. The fresh squeezed OJ held me over while I waited. Once my friend settled in at the table, the waiter came by to answer any questions and make recommendations about items on the menu. We tried a spinach and ham omelet, potatoes and the braised short rib with cheddar waffles. All of it was to die for! We agreed that we'll be heading back soon and have already recommended it to a few friends and family members. read more

I created a Yelp account to write this review. After receiving my order of 2 mini waffles on a small plate, I asked for a larger one. As I was sitting at the bar, I could see the plate the woman wanted to hand to me. It was dirty. No big deal, I asked for a different one. But, the new plate had something on it and she wiped it off with her hand. Her hand! I said "I mean, really" and she looked rather sheepish because she knew what she had done and still tried to hand me that same plate. Finally, she cleaned a completely new plate in front of me. Not to mention the waffles my friends and I had were sub-par. Oh, and the big "W" hanging above the bar was falling and we had to move over in case it fell. As a last hurrah, we didn't get any water until we asked for it towards the end of our meal--lo and behold there was a lipstick stain on my glass. read more

I've never eaten here and probably won't ever. I was going to buy a groupon, but came to check here first. After reading all the reviews and taking them with a grain of salt, I wouldn't even eat here if it was free. I don't see any feedback from anyone in a management position, apologeeze or even any reasons why this place sounds horrid. I can't see them lasting, unless they change. I worked in a restaurant for 17 yrs., from order taker to General Manager. This would never happen, even on a bad night. read more

This is the last time that Waffles will get any of my money. I've tried two different locations. The first time I was unhappy, I just chalked it up to bad luck. The second time, the food was mediocre; at best. The final straw was me sending an out-of-town relative there to celebrate her birthday. I gave them a Groupon for the meal. Unfortunately, they couldn't pull up the Groupon on their phone. The restaurant made no effort to accommodate. I wound up having to pay for the meal on my credit card and I am still stuck with a useless Groupon ! And to make matters worse, the service was poor. But then, it always is. I will never patronize them again. read more

Waffles are decent but we tried the chicken and waffles with bacon but the fried chicken tasted really badly and burnt. Horrible taste. My first and last time read more

It was a beautiful morning to sit outside on a Wednesday morning so after a visit to the doctor, I walked across the street to Chicago Waffles. Just a few people sitting outside so I walked in and asked if I could sit outside. I was told yes and told the server that I wanted an iced coffee. I took a menu and took one of the many open tables. After almost 10 minutes, he came out and gave me some water and asked if I was ready to order. I asked where my iced coffee was and he said that it would be right up. I ordered and my coffee showed up shortly. I ordered a ham and bacon omelette with well done potatoes and an english muffin. They arrived shortly. The muffin was no longer warm and only lightly toasted. The omelette was the major reason for the poor review. Raw in the middle. I get that some people like a their eggs softer but this was just not cooked. I thought to eat the edges and found that the bacon was not cooked either. The roasted red potatoes were delicious. My waiter came by and asked if all was ok and I had enough potatoes so didn't want any more eggs so said yes. I then asked for the check. After 10 minutes, he came back out to just stand outside and I asked once again for my check. This time, not nearly so happy. His excuse was that he hadn't heard me. Even so, I was obviously finished and long since time to deliver the check. Great menu, beautiful location, crummy cook and service. read more

I thought the waffles were decent but did not appreciate them trying to pass off orange juice from concentrate as fresh squeezed. Also didn't care for the techno dance music playing in the middle of the day. It will probably attract crowds on weekends but only for lack of options. read more

Chicago Waffles on 14th and Michigan will never ever go there again, ever. My experience was horrible. 1. I had to ask for my water 3 times. 2. I had to get my own eating utensils from another table (yes I asked for some) 3. I asked for syrup and I had to go get it after they didn't bring it. 4. When my friend went to pay the cashier never acknowledged her. 5. After she ran her credit card she tossed it back at her. 6. When my friend made her aware that the service was poor, she laughed at her. read more

I met my friend at Waffles a few months ago. Memorial Day weekend I think it was. My friend recently moved to the neighborhood. It was a very busy holiday weekend so the staff seemed over worked and understaffed. (TOTALLY understandable..). We placed our order and the waitress wrote it down on a note pad. OMG I LOVED it!! Everyone who worked their was Eastern EUROPEAN!! It reminded me of my favorite diner in Lakeview!! .. We watched customers sit down, place their orders, have their orders delivered, eat, and leave.. My friend finally said "I'm very hungry and now I"m pressed for time. I have an appointment at doggy day care in .. well, 30 minutes now.. we've been waiting 45 minutes so I'm going to ask about our order." The lovely waitress flipped through her list of orders in her note pad and then brought out fruit for us to eat. I could totally tell she was embarrassed. She then put in our order. It took 20 minutes for our food to arrive. :( We asked for a box and the check.. I ate a little bit of my food and it was GREAT!! The FOOD was excellent!! .. My friend boxed up our food as I went to pay for it at the register. That took a bit of time.. I completely understood. I liked the place and the wait staff. It was probably the busiest day they've ever had.. so it made perfect sense to me. The FOOD WAS fabulous. I thought it was very kind that we were provided with fruit, to compensate for the wait and our order that was misplaced. .. It happens. I liked the place very much. I appreciated the wait staff, cooks, check out lady, and really everything about the place. Again, the food was outstanding!! Over all I like the place. I'll definitely return. It's the best brunch place in the south loop. I was pleasantly surprised. read more

We sat at the counter in favor of waiting in line and I was not sorry. The stools are comfortable and you get to watch the waffles come out of the kitchen and get all dressed up right in front of you. I had been looking forward to going just because they have leige waffles as well as brussels (are these the same as belgian waffles? I figure they must be - they seem to be the same and Brussels is in Belgium, after all...) - and I feel like most places only have Belgian waffles, which is why I rarely get them. Nothing against them, I'm just tired of them. Leige waffles are the kind that are denser and not as thick, and I LOVE them. I got the waffle benedict, which used these waffles as the starch and then had pork, poached egg and hollandaise atop it. It was quite good, although I found the pork to be lacking a little in flavor, perhaps could've been remedied just by a bit of salt. Benjamin K.R. got the short rib waffle, which he didn't seem to like as much as mine, but I really liked it. We should've gone dutch on those two items, but oh well. My mother got a scramble, and their breakfast potatoes are the bomb. Too many places seem to shy away from deep frying their potatoes, and I think this concept is ill advised. Everyone likes their breakfast potatoes better when they're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside (I mean...right? I don't want to put words into anyone's mouth.) and deep frying them is the perfect way to accomplish that. The sweet dish we got to share (red velvet waffle) was definitely the highlight. Strawberry creme anglaise, is that what that delicious concoction to the side was? I don't even care what it was, it was to die for. The space itself seemed a little cramped, but they must be busy constantly, considering that we came before 11am (so before prime brunchtime) on a Saturday (not a Sunday) and there was still a line out the door. Our service was nothing special but also nothing bad. She was obviously busy, so there were no frills, no "I'm so-and-so and I'll be taking care of you", which is absolutely fine by me. But she gave us several walk-bys and definitely kept our coffees full, and that's all that matters to me. I definitely have nothing against going back, but I do hate the South Loop. What a congested parking nightmare. Waffles needs to take a page out of Yolk's book and open locations in other neighborhood (although Streeterville and River North aren't much different than the South Loop, but oh well). read more

I see that other people have encountered the same problem. We were halfway through our meal and still had a second round of cocktails on the table when the place that never takes reservations had the hostess put a "Reservations" sign on our table and a few minutes later returned to tell us that the party reserving our table was here and we needed to leave. We were dining with a friend with an arm in a sling, who obviously needed more time to eat, and informed we had to leave while there were drinks and half eaten plates of food we were still working on! The food is decent, but if you are going to serve cocktails, then you better let people sit and enjoy them. Really bad customer service that day. Definetely will take my brunch dollars elsewhere. read more

Why did I let my husband talk me into giving this place another chance? Well because we live across the street and were short on time b/c he had to go to work. I order the plain and simple; bacon, eggs, toast and potatoes $7.95. I tell our server I'd like my eggs scrambled with some onion or something in there (I don't really like eggs I eat them because they are good for me) and I don't want toast or potatoes just fruit. My husband orders as well and the server doesn't write anything down. We remarked about how she didn't write anything down and about the fact that we had a lot of changes. The person I later found out was the owner, plops our food down on the table without even asking if we need anything.....ummm my bacon? We have to flag down the server. She brings the bacon. Fine, no biggie. After we paid the bill we realized it seemed way to high. Then we realize that we were over charged. I was charged for an omelette meal ($9.95) with a side of bacon ($3.95) Still not a big deal. When we go and talk to the owner and my husband explains what happened to him, he just keeps saying to me, "We don't put onions in the plain and simple. That's why she thought you ordered the omelette." That's why she thought I ordered the omelette when I said the plain and simple? Why didn't she just tell me I couldn't have onions in the eggs with that meal instead of morphing it into I ordered the omelette? Then he calls the server over. She helpfully brings a menu over and shows it to me pointing out the omelette section and says, "see you can only have onions with the omelette" and then she says, "we don't put onions in the plain and simple." ??????????????????????????????? What? Then I turn back to the owner in amazement and he again repeats, "we don't put onions in the plain and simple." Whoa, those are some serious customer service skills you have buddy. Now, I'm laughing and just eager to stop the hemorrhage of time I am wasting in this place, desperate to get out and never return. So I say, "You know what, don't worry about it." And walk out with no response from the owner or his server who doesn't write down your order and then tells YOU in no uncertain terms what you ordered as if she....HAD IT WRITTEN DOWN. I wish this story was over. My husband was very upset and so took his valuable time to call them on his way to work and THEN, after having to explain for what was probably the fourth time, apparently, the owner said he wants us to have a good experience so if we come back he will give us 50% off. Are you kidding? I won't be back. The time I am using to write this is the last time I will waste on waffles. A place that has served me overpriced, average food and $8 hot chocolate flights that were luke warm and not tasty - at best. And by the way, Yolk puts onion in my scramble whenever I ask them to and it has never been a problem. read more

I normally don't write reviews but I just had to let everyone know NOT TO COME HERE. Food isn't the same, very inconsistent! Service... well, WHAT service??! Note to owner/manager: please train servers, bussers THE PROPER WAY!!! Not that hard if you know what you're doing (obviously YOU dont). There are plenty of breakfast/lunch places nearby to spend your money, just not here. read more

Not long after receiving our food we were informed that our table would be needed for a reservation. Waffles does not accept reservations for parties under 10 (confirmed this fact with staff later). Our table only sat 4 and no tables around us were told that they had to rush their meal. While we were still waiting for part of our order the hostess informed us that the "reservation party" had arrived and we would have to leave. I have now attempted to speak with management regarding the incident two days in a row and have been given the run-around. I hate to think that this was about skin color, but... read more

Food was creative and really good! Waffles unlike any I have had before! Food is great, service is great, I can see myself becoming a regular there! read more

I was wavering between a 3 and 4 star rating, but I opted for the higher rating because of the originality of this spot's menu. I'm not usually a big fan of waffles for brunch (I'm more of a French toast gal, if I'm opting for a bread-based product), but I figured, "when in Rome" and all that. My nephew and I decided to split the Waffles Benedict, and the Mexican Chocolate Waffles (that might not be the actual name). Perfect blend of savory and sweet tastes!! The Waffles Benedict was topped with pork shoulder, a poached egg, and a touch of hollandaise sauce. Sounds it a bit odd, but it was definitely working! And the Mexican Chocolate Waffle was the perfect finish to our meal, featuring a rich dark chocolate flavor with just a hint of orange. Yum-mee!! As some of the other reviews noted...the portions seem small when served, but I think that's just our American tendency to think bigger is always better when it comes to food. I was perfectly full when we finished. Any more food would have put me over the comfort edge, and detracted from the perfection of the tastes. This neighborhood can always use more brunch spots...you know we love our brunch in Chicago...so this new spot is a welcome addition to the South Loop!! I'll be back! read more

Womp, womp, this place was a big disappointment. I wanted to try it after salivating over the numerous pictures of waffle flights and other delectable items. We came here on a Tuesday morning, so it was pretty slow. Service was pretty average, the menu was ok, waffles served were BURNT, chewy, and BORRRRING! The table was sticky, plates were chipped...I could go on but I won't. I'll just tell you that it's nothing special and not to waste your time here like I did. read more

Went here on a Sunday at noon and was seated outside with no wait. We ordered the bacon chicken waffles, a side of potatoes and the mexican nachos (can't think of the name offhand). Waffles were awesome. We will definitely be back for those. Chicken tenders on the waffles were flavorless and dry so I would just order one of the plain waffles next time. I thought the nachos were pretty good. Boyfriend didn't like them but I think there is no such think as bad mexican, ever. Kind of reminded me of something basic at an all inclusive resort in Mexico if you know what I mean. Anyway..wasn't worth $44 for breakfast but the waffle itself was good! Hope this review helps. read more

Delicious, spotlessly clean and great service! The potatoes w onions were so scrumptious- I'd go back just for those! The waffles were light and flavorful! Tables were comfortably spaced. read more

First time I ordered the Alicia meal was really good, second time wasn't as great. The rice was super watery which had no flavor. The chicken was dry and I'm very disappointed. I will not come back, because consistency is key to a successful business. read more

Absolutely horrible food. We tried this place 10 months ago, they totally missed the boat on making waffles. You would think they could at least get that right. We came back today with a groupon and I tried the pound cake french toast. It tasted like 3 pieces of soggy cardboard with chocolate syrup. I guess the scrambles are the only good thing on the menu. Unless you have had your tongue amputated I recommend spending your breakfast money on a case of Eggo's if you decide to order the waffles. This place is over priced and we will never return. read more

The food was good but the service was horrible. This was my first time here and was excited to try the waffles. However I was extremely disappointed with the service and lack of concern from the Manager. The waitress completely ignored us and threw our bill on table. I spoke to the Manager and he didnt say anything to her. We were waiting for him to speak to her at least and correct the situation. NOTHING! We asked him what was he going to do and he said he will "talk" to everyone. This was unacceptable and he didn't even bother to give discount, coupon or anything to show sincerity. I will NOT return and will be sure to spread the word and tell others to not support Waffles. Disappointing!!! read more

Dont even think about it seriously. Usually if im going out for breakfast it better be a good breakfast or else I will jus make it at home or go to Denny or ihop if im just trying to put anything in my stomach. But no when I go out that early I want something good and you wont find it here. Food needs salt, pepper, Adobo just anything would help. Def dont order the chilaquiles and please dont think your safe with the waffle sampler. Your not! Plenty of places to go to with better breakfast not far from here. read more

I have to give them 5 stars, all 5 stars go to the food. From presentation to bite- nothing but amazing. I had their Chicago's Beat Waffle, and it was Chicago's Best Waffle. The portion was shareable and a good price for the food they put on the plate. There was no wait for a table on 4th of July. The food did take a long time to come out, but I'm guessing it was coz the kitchen was super busy. So all in all- if you do go here have their waffles! That's what they are known for. read more

Chicago Waffles - Chicago's Best Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really don't understand why this place was voted the best by the Time Out magazine, and I cannot explain the lines outside either. I guess it must be due to the fact that there are not so many breakfast places in the South Loop, otherwise this place would not even get a one star. The food is just not good. I had a french toast, which was flat and sticky inside, poached eggs were tiny and overcooked, the waffles were too dry. The service was OK, nothing spectacular. There was an annoying fire alarm beeping every 30 seconds during the hour that we spent there, and the management did not even attempt to replace a battery. In short, don't waste your money and time. read more

The management and service at Waffles is top notch! I live in River North with plenty of restaurants to choose from but I've now been to Waffles twice in the past 2 weeks. They are launching a new menu and the manager was so thrilled that he gave us a sneak peek at it. Their french toast is to die. I had their Mediterranean Scrambler today which was a Special and it was delicious. read more

Came here for weekend brunch - it was a beautiful day and the patio was empty! (This should have been a sign...) I got the waffles (this is their specialty, right?) and they were awfully unimpressive. Lots of toppings like cream and chocolate but the actual waffles were pretty tasteless. Diner quality food. We had a coupon that they refused to honor. We complained so they finally said they would honor it, but when the bill came it was the wrong amount (coupon not applied correctly). I honestly don't think the manager understood the language of their own coupon. Already in a bad mood about the food and having to complain, we just left without saying anything. There are many better options in the city- we won't be back. read more

Party of 4 here, incredibly impressed with the prices and amount of food we got! Was really fast, was fabulous, was delicious. Friendly service, too. My eggs were scrambled a little less than hard, but everything else was absolutely perfect. I'm a wierdo like that anyway. 10/10 would absolutely come back! read more

Waffles are delicious. Service needs a boost. I ate at Waffles on opening weekend for brunch. Within our group we sampled the Bananas Foster, Red Velvet, Cheddar and Short Rib, Benedict and Albondiagas. They were all really good although the Cheddar and Short Rib stood out as the best. My only complaint is that the kitchen was backed up and we had to wait 30 minutes to place our order. Considering it was opening weekend and they are still working out the kinks, I give them a break and will definitely be returning, for takeout too. BONUS: Choice of cucumber or lemon infused water. read more

3 stars for my experience there, 1 extra star because this place has potential and I'm hoping it lives up to it! The service has a lot of kinks to work out. My friend and I went on Saturday morning and waited about 20 minutes for a table (not bad) and then at least 45 minutes for our food (what the what??). We needed to ask for silverware, napkins, syrup, sweetener for coffee ... clearly the waitstaff and kitchen were overwhelmed. The poor folks next to me ordered the Chicken and Bacon waffles, but the kitchen had run out of chicken, and it was only around 11 am on a Saturday. That said, the food was very good. We got: green tea waffles, liege waffles, side of scrambled eggs, side of turkey sausage. I agree that sides should come with the waffles to make it a better value, but the eggs and sausages were fine. Not the best, but not awful either. The best part: all (yes, ALL, according to the waitress) of the waffles can be made gluten-free! This is very exciting for me as a GF girl. So, instead of the usual "eggs/fruit/no toast" meal I'd get at a waffle/pancake place, I got to enjoy the green tea waffles. Which were delicious. I loved the ginger, and the Chantilly, and the flavor of the waffle itself. I didn't try the liege (my friend isn't GF) but she said it was very good. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely try to make it back to Waffles. Hopefully they'll have gotten the machine running more smoothly by then. read more

Finally, life is coming back into an area that has witnessed a lot of business closings in the last couple of years. The developer of the 1400 S. Michigan building, where Waffles now resides, never poured the concrete in the retail spaces; since 2008, it has been just a depressing view of dirt and beams as you walk by the windows - until now. Wait time: It was the morning of the Chicago Triathlon. We (and many others) waited outside in the seats provided for about a 1/2 hour. Service: While we waited outside, servers came out and offered samples of crumb cake and some other delicious creamy chocolaty baked good, and offered everyone water and coffee if they liked. Nice! We were seated at one of the communal tables and it was fine and not at all cramped. Although our waiter never messed up our order or anything, he was "interesting". We figured he must have been severely hung over based on the look on his face, his general air of "zombieness" and lack of speech! He didn't offer us the cucumber or lemon water, and we had to ask for water refills. Someone else brought the excellent Intelligentsia coffee and made sure of refills. We had to ask for salt and pepper, but received it promptly. It took us about 15 minutes to get our food, which I didn't think was unreasonable, especially considering how busy they were. Food: As excited as I was for this new brunch place to open, I was skeptical. Traditional breakfast/brunch fare is not the focus of the food. I admit I was tempted to play it safe and order either the "Plain and Simple" which is 2 eggs, bacon and toast, or the "choose your own 3 ingredients omelet ", but I resisted, and am definitely glad I did. I tried the Waffle Benedict (liege waffles, roasted pork shoulder, poached eggs and aleppo hollandaise). When the food arrived, I thought it might be a bit pricey ($11.95) for the amount of food received, but I was wrong. It was perfect. I was full, but not "unbutton your pants, need to nap" full. The waffle was somewhat sweet, but not overly so, thank goodness, and the rest savory. Yum, yum and yum!!! My friends were happy with their orders as well: the omelet with fresh ingredients that were chopped to a good size and mixed in well to get ingredients in every bite. The chicken and bacon waffle (while it can never beat the original Roscoe's) was good; the chicken was tender and lots of bacon. And finally, the cheddar and short rib waffle. The braised short rib, scallion and syrup mix was awesome, although the cheddar was a bit absent and the syrup was a bit sparse. Additional syrup was provided promptly upon request. General: Parking is easy. Close to public transportation (#3/#4 bus, and Redline) and it's easy to get to by bike after a lake front ride. Considering Waffles has only been open 12 days, and this is only the 2nd weekend open, I think they are doing a good job of working out the inevitable kinks that take place in any new restaurant trying to figure out its groove. Glad they do have simpler breakfast items to choose from and salad and sandwich options as well, as I know I'm not always in the mood for big breakfast or even breakfast at all. Definitely want to try the Pazanella salad and/or the Cuban sandwich next time I go back. I will go back!!! read more

I've eaten here twice previously, and yesterday AM was by far the worst experience. Here goes: **No water for about 6-7 minutes after being seated, along with an insincere apology for the wait. (She obviously noticed that we had waited quite some time, if she apologized, right!??!) **Thanks for the apology--but like I said, it means squat when......there's no coffee refill until I finish my entire child's-sized-portion waffle benedict!! I asked for more coffee first chance I could find someone (happened to be the server who brought our food to us), even though my cup had been empty for quite a while. **At least 10 minutes elapsed between the time I asked for more coffee, to actually receiving the freshly picked, roasted, and brewed coffee. **They proceeded to try and rush us out of there, when they were no where to be found when you actually needed service. My plate was taken as soon as I put my fork down from the last bite! **Icing: cashier was rude as hell! For the record, just because tipping is expected on the original amount (before promo certificates are applied), doesn't mean that you need to PHYSICALLY point that out by handing me back to the original receipt and pointing your ugly stubby finger to the original total! Tipping is a statement, first and foremost. If your service sucks balls, and it apparently does quite often at Waffles, as other yelpers have attested, then the tip WILL be indicative of that. But thanks for POINTing out the "expected" tip to me like I just got off the boat--not that Mr. Stubby Fingers did a damn thing for the tip anyways...in fact, no one there really did, for that matter, unless you count clearing the plates away to get you outta there... Here's a tip from me, with my beautifully trimmed middle finger extended towards your door: "Hire more servers for weekends!!!" And with my index finger pointedly tapping at the side of my head so as to gesticulate that you lack a brain, "Last I checked, breakfast spots are exponentially busier on weekends than weekdays. Duh!" read more

This place sucks! The orange juice my boyfriend ordered looked weird. It was a dark orange color that almost looked powered not fresh squeezed. The waffles my waitress recommend were nasty so I exchanged them for eggs &bacon but then there was HAIR IN MY FOOD!! &the manager never even apologized! read more

I went here for the $3.99 deal. Big disappointment! So this deal comes with chicken waffles and bacon. I asked to substitute my bacon for turkey bacon because I'm trying to cut back on my pork consumption. They gave me one piece of turkey bacon (side eye). Then I got to eat my waffle and it has ham piece in the waffle it would have been nice to know that considering I'm trying not to eat pork!!! Also the chicken that you get a 2 small chicken tenders not real piece of chicken like a leg or a wing smh. On top of that I order a smoothie which was nothing but ice and the peach and mango purée smh worst smoothie ever nothing but sugar and disgusting. The food is good but the service bad and not what I expected. read more

My son and I didn't like the food at all (we each had the four-waffle sampler). But, I'll move on since I could tell some patrons obviously liked what they were eating. What I didn't like was the dirtiness: water glasses, tabletops, benches and even the plastic holder for the drinks. The decor is sparse. Service is basic. Prices are a bit high, but it's the South Loop. read more

My Wife and I wanted to try a new place for Breakfast, so off to Chicago Waffles we went. We were seated promptly, that's where the good news ends. My wife had the Chicken and Waffles, I had a Pulled Pork Skillet special. My meal was at our table within 90 seconds (no exaggeration) so obviously, nothing was fresh. My Wife's Chicken and Waffles showed up a minute later. Clearly frozen chicken tenders on top of a waffle. None of the food was hot, again speaks to everything being made ahead of time. There was little to no seasoning on any of the food, cafeteria quality at best. My Wife was hoping to get a side of syrup to add to her waffle, only our Server never checked on us, not once! There were employees standing around doing nothing. No one checked on us. We did not see our Server again until she dropped off the check.
