If you like an old fashioned (not real "old fashioned" but the type of restaurant your Dad liked when you were a kid) with fresh, tasty, quick food and never ending coffee fountain then this place will take you back in time but in a good way. You can sink into the floral pattern cushy booths and enjoy a real breakfast cafe experience full of the hustle and bustle of Chico's working class grabbing a bite at a good value. They've got some really great sausage patties, eggs are always cooked perfectly, and if you're the type that likes something sweet for breakfast then they can't be beat. Try the tooty fruity or the peanut butter and banana waffles! Yum, but instant insulin coma. read more

The first impression is everything. The smell of mold and sewage was overwhelming. I opted out of ordering. The friends in my party tried the food. They were not impressed. We felt rushed. It was 30 min near closing time when we arrived. The waitress came to take our order but had not provided us with menus. The food did come out quickly. Will not be back read more

Country Waffles - Inside decor - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chico, California

Took our drink order right away, we found what we wanted closed our menus and then proceeded to sit there for 15 minutes watching our waitress take orders for people who came after us and continued to not even acknowledge us and walk past us. We ended up, going to pay for drinks and they didnt even ask why. read more

This a great breakfast spot for anyone. They have done an amazing job at having tables ready when I call ahead for my family when they come and visit. They are really nice and are quick to greet you. They have a variety of options including lunch. Definitely worth trying this place out! read more

The worst service in Chico CA. We received our food with a hair, in it and the waitress smiled and offered to get us another plate. . The waitress then proceeded to bring back a dirty plate with cold food on it the second time. Then they all kind of sat in a circle, just smiling and thinking the whole situation was funny. The manager wouldn't come out and talk to us. Don't waste your money. read more

Country Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chico, California

Lots of staff working owner cooking, everyone was nice and the food and service was good. The food came out fast too. Pancakes are great!

I eat there all the time but now after finding a hair in my food for the fourth time in 3 years, no more !!!

I called ahead a couple of days ahead of time and set up a fixed menu for 20 people coming in on a Saturday Morning. Everything was ready when the people arrived at 8:30AM. Service was spot on and the food was exactly as requested. My guests were very happy with Country Waffles. read more

The food was decent. The bench seat that I sat in was so broken down I felt like I was going to fall through! The menu did not feature waffles! They had no combination plates that included waffles that interested either of us! The men's restroom was so disgusting I am considering contacting the health department! Won't be going back EVER! If the restroom was that filthy, what does the Kitchen look like? read more

Yeah, this place is really nasty. Bathroom has black mold growing out of the cracks in the walls, leaky fixtures, no way I'm going to trust that this place is managed properly or that the food is sanitary. read more

Don't order the Benedict's. Wife ordered traditional and I had the Santa Barbara. All 4 poached eggs were hard.

We Fell In Love With This Resturant, The Food Was Delicious, Fresh & Hot, Service Was Very Professional & With A Smile, The Ambiance Was Very Homey and Inviting, Will Return Soon. read more

Food was great and service was great. They were fast for being so busy. I will go again on a less busy day.

I would like to start out by saying sorry to the staff, I came as part as a pack for cub scouts and there were about 25-30 of us so right off the bat that's a big thanks to them for setting that up. There omelettes were amazing and the service was fantastic the ambience was great over all 6 out of 5!!!!!!!! read more

This place has gotten very busy in the last couple of months. I asked the server if maybe they needed a third cook to handle the crowd and she said it is very hard to find restaurant workers these days. We waited an hour for our food and it was very good. The other breakfast places we frequent are just as busy so maybe it is just a sign of the times. read more

This place is the best if you need a fast good breakfast with the family. It's kid friendly and they have coloring pages and crayons that my kids love. The service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is cozy and I love it. read more

The food was delicious and service was fairly quick. The server was impatient and always in a rush though! Girl gave me anxiety; slow down, this is not a test! read more

Don't go here, the staff don't even want you to go here they're rude and take 20+ minutes to bring you the check, not sure if they needed to go get some more printer ink at staples or if they're just so caught up in thinking of more ways to make the food disgusting. Anyways, just go to Farmers Skillet or Cozy it's way better read more

We use to eat there regular .this will be are last time .Told the waitresses and they just laughed it off and said the owner didn't want to fix anything I believe the heath department would right them up or close it read more

Excellent crepes. Best in Chico and I've tried lots of different places. Good size portions of food. Very nice waitstaff. Reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back. read more

The hostess was EXTREMELY RUDE. She was mad because my bf & I came in 15 min before they were closing. (We didn't know they close so early in the day). She said we better know what we want to order right away because she wasn't going to wait for us to look into the menu & choose what we want. She rolled her eyes at us so much. She was telling the cook he has to cook something because "people walked in last minute" I've never felt so uncomfortable & unwanted in my life before in ANY restaurant in my 22 years of living. I was like "f*** this to my bf, and I said let's go. I told the waiter I'm sorry but your rude a** hostess made me uncomfortable. Goodbye I don't know how anyone can be so rude with customers ESPECIALLY IN A RESTAURANT. If you CAN'T do your job, then QUIT. read more

I wanted to like Country Waffles- I even wanted to have an adulterous relationship with it, however all I got was a fleeting awkward passing glance from a stranger who I pretty immediately decided I was better off without them screwing up my jammin' life, but upon further reflection it's more that I'm simply just not courageous enough to take all of the shots that I'll probably just miss because I'm a mediocre baller. I had a skillet type of breakfast on one occasion- I cannot be bothered to recall all of the principle ingredients. On another occasion, I had an eggs benedict that I can only describe as poached eggs that have been showered in dog cum. Yellow dog cum. It was a truly subjective experience, and being an honest fellow, I have to admit I kind of enjoyed the interaction between the dish and my larynx, much in a taboo sort of way where you correctly suspect that the majority of the population watches all of the incest section on Pornhub. I added 1 star to 5 stars because of the interesting benedict, but I ultimately subtracted 4 fours for a net total of 2 stars out of 5 because I was crop dusted by a rather pungent maître d'. I take flatulent assault very seriously. read more

Arrived late morning on a Sunday and it was busy as expected. We were able to be seated right away and the host brought us our drinks. However the server seemed to have little to none customer service experience. She came to our table 3 times in total; to take our order, bring us food, and to give us the check. She did not check up or ask us if we needed anything else during the entire visit. Seemed like she wanted us out right away. I would pay $15 or so extra and go somewhere else like MOM's and be treated like an actual person at the least. Food was basic but quick. Would not come again though. read more

Went here for a early lunch and walking In, the place was busy. We got seated within a few minutes.. then I started to notice it was a hot mess.. the wait staff were ignoring people, the table infront of us actually walked out after waiting a while (according to the mad dad with his kids lol). Then when the waitress came to take our order she seemed like it was a inconvenience for her to help us. Not to mention my son just wanted a burger and she then tells me to order him a kids meal Because it's cheaper and would be "affordable" for me.. I'm not caring about the price. Proceeded to run off after. Once we got the food it was okay nothing to brag about. We left quick and decided this isn't a spot to return to. read more

First of all, if I could review with 0 stars, I would. The eggs were still runny, the biscuit was mushy. The restaurant sacrificed serving fully cooked food for speed. My friend and I couldn't even finish because the food was so bad. After spending over $15 each, we left disappointed and hungry. Redeeming quality......hmm.... the cute, friendly and hard working servers. Poor ladies are the face of your restaurant and you're making them look bad. read more

Food was delicious especially the country potatoes! Most places cube their potatoes here they are sliced lengthwise & the seasoning is delicious. Coffee cup was always full, never had to ask!! Great service! Anyone passing through Chico needs to stop here!! read more

The food and service were amazing! We had a waffle with bacon and cheddar cheese in it with apple pie filling on the top!

Everything I've had here is delicious, and the staff is always super nice! I wish they were open for dinner. Last time I was there, I ordered a veggie-burger -- it wasn't on the menu, but I saw regular burgers so thought I would ask! So another option for vegetarians. And then my companion asked if they had tuna salad (which we also didn't see on the menu, but maybe we missed it?) They had that too! (Time to update the menu?) I was here one time on a Sunday morning for brunch, and although it was VERY crowded (we had a short wait -- make sure to sign the list!) it was very well organized -- things went smoothly. Very dependable. read more

Only one star for this place. Merely for the fact that we left hungry still. My boyfriend and I went to this place for New Years Breakfast. I wanted to try the chicken and waffles and he wanted biscuits and gravy. We were seated and got our water and coffee right away. We ordered promptly because we knew what we wanted. The place wasn't too terribly busy and they were more than sufficiently staffed (in the front-only two cooks in the kitchen) but the food took forever to get to us. The breading on the chicken was crispy but the chicken skin and the chicken itself was slimy and not very warm and the waffle was completely cold. The biscuits and gravy were not very warm and the potatoes were not cooked all the way and not very warm either. We only got one refill of coffee and water. The waitress never came back to follow up with us during our stay. Very disappointed in this place and the fact that we paid About $35.00.....was a totally rip off! read more

It's a decent diner. Excellent price on side of eggs and bacon when you buy waffle. I had their pecan carmel (that's how it's spelt) banana waffle. The name was somewhat misleading because I thought it was pecan in caramel coating of sort. It was a really pecan and bananas on top, drizzled with caramel. It could have been elevated if the pecan were roasted or candied. I didn't have a hard time getting the attention of my server for some coffee refills. I'll be back. read more

We had such a great experience here. Amazing customer service makes all the difference. The manager was in today and as the waiter was sitting us he came and asked us if we would love to sit in a table booth instead. It was more private and more confortablr than the first table. Servers were walking back and forth asking if we needed more water or coffee. Its nice when your able to ask for something you need like extra napkins without waiting for over 5 minutes until someone walks by. My son and I got Swedish crepes and it was so yummy. We ate it all. I hate ordering and receiving such a big plate that I'm not able to finish it. I hate having to throw food away. Here their portions are just right. Chili was good. The ham grill cheese was a bit dry. read more

Needs a little help with customer service! I realize today was Valentine's Day and they were busy, but that's no excuse. We eat at this place regularly. I tried to call in a to-go order, and they set the receiver down, and I waited, and waited...... Finally I hung up and tried calling again. It rang about 20 times with no answer. I tried again, 20 rings, no answer. I tried a third time and they answered--I told them NOT TO PUT ME ON HOLD AGAIN, and the lady said she had to find a waitress to take my order. REALLY? After about 2 minutes, someone came to the phone to take my order. I explained that my husband was probably already there as it usually takes them only 10 minutes to make our order. The waitress saw him, and told him she'd get our order right out. After handing out 3 to-go orders for others, and sitting for about 20 minutes, my husband just got up and left (steaming mad). It will be a while before we'll try this place again. read more

Not really hungry, but as an early riser, I sometimes wait out store opening times with breakfast, as I did yesterday, at Country Waffles. Best way to sum up the experience is... ur... hummm... not terrible, but not worth returning. My first impression was made as I walked in. Very clean windows, clean entry, and a sign with the prices of coffee drinks. Basic coffee, given a somewhat fancier name, was over $2.50. !!!!!!! Okay. With that gulp aside, I ventured in. Clean. Pleasant greeting. Very cheerful service throughout the meal. Quickly acknowledged. I asked for soda water and was told, "We don't have that." I glanced at the soda machine with its choice of soda water, and asked for plain water. A soda machine without soda water is... well... broken. Somehow, I didn't believe her. But, anyway. There were two menus. One had the breakfast specials and one had everything else. I really didn't want a carb-loaded cholersterfest breakfast, so I took a gander at the other meals. Sandwiches were over $11.50. !!!!! gulp. I decided that I was in the need of a breakfast special. Now, I am a finer diner eater. Breakfast, to me, is something you either do right, or you don't. It is the diner's staple, and if you mess it up, you suck as a diner. For $5.99, you get a basic breakfast w/o meat. For $6.99, you get a basic breakfast with meat. I choose the $6.99 Loved the hash browns. They could have had two or three more minutes on the grill, but they were PDG (pretty damn good, for you acronym challenged.). Eggs-- well, they were just fine. PDH (pretty damn hard) to mess up scrambled eggs. The toast was above ordinary, thick and real sourdough-y. The whole piece was buttered, proving that they did NOT attend the Denny's School of Toast Buttering. (Wherein they teach the cooks to butter the middle 1/3 of the toast, leaving the rest to stand on its own good merits.) And then there was the sausage. Slightly pink in the middle. *sigh*. No, thank you. I know that pigs rarely pass on trichinosis nowadays, to its fond fan base of those who love dead pig flesh, but still, I don't eat raw Charlotte. And, lord knows, don't ever send food back to a kitchen to be cooked again. THEY DO BAD THINGS IN THOSE KITCHENS to the food of those who disobey that rule. All in all, I didn't feel totally ripped off. But I didn't feel like I got a good deal. I would not return. read more

Ordered take out. Absolutely, the worst meal ever ,the photo I posted was supposed to be a French Dip however they forgot my AuJus,severed with soggy french fries. My husband's steak sandwich was absolutely tasteless.We had a coupon for buy two entrées get one free as long as you purchased two drinks they forgot to give me one drink and my total came to $25 and that was supposed to be with one free sandwich what a rip off !!!!!! read more

Country Waffles - French Dip ( Horrible) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chico, California

This place should have a hazard sign posted as you enter!! The men's restroom looked like it was destroyed by a mythological creature. There was pee all over the floor in the stall and feces in the urinal !! Country Waffles employees must all be related to each other. They all appear to be inbred. I heard 4 or 5 conversations that were totally inappropriate. Now let's get to the food. I would rather pay for frozen waffles and sausage for my family. The food tasted freezer burnt and there was a pubic hair on my waffles. This outing felt like we were all on either punked or final destination. STAY AWAY!!!!! read more
