It's definitely a dive, looking from outside and in like a beaten up Denny's or IHOP, but having been here several times now, I can say it's totally what you want it to be. The menu is extensive enough to cover anyone's tastes. We've only been for breakfast/brunch, so this review only covers those options. I love all the topping options. My standing favorite is the banana peanut butter waffle (I sub in two 'cakes for the waffle). Yum. Waffles can be ordered as a half or whole, topped with strawberries, blueberries, apples, etc, and any of these can be done as 'cakes as well. They'll let you add eggs and sausage/bacon to anything which is a nice touch too. Not as much food as ordering full sides, which I really like. Service has been really good, other than one time when I think it was a fluke, and the staff is really nice and kind to my kids. They have a huge back room to accommodate large parties. We've never had a long wait, but I presume it's possible on a post-Church morning for a big party. read more

Where do I start with this place....it's amazing in general. I've left a review before but I had to leave another. My husband and I love this place. We try to go out to breakfast twice a month. Today we were going to try a new place, we pulled into the parking lot and said to each other "want to just go to Country Waffles instead!?" We always have great customer service, our coffee cups are never empty and the food is just, so good so why even go anywhere else. ‍ We come from Cottonwood to eat breakfast here. The staff and owner do a smack up job and our waitress Karina, in particular, is spectacular! You will not regret making a stop here. We always get the chicken fried steak and the southern fried chic-wich. Thanks for always being cheerful and awesome guys! read more

I'm at home here,if u haven't been here,your missing out, and the staff,my girls are just wonderful,and oh yeah,my compliments to the chef. Love u all from the fountaine family. read more

My husband introduced me to this restaurant a couple of years ago and I fell in love with it. This is one place that I know I will get delicious food and amazing customer service. Our glasses are never empty and we never go without. While we eat our breakfast, we see everyone running their tail off but always smiling and happy to help. We travel from Cottonwood to this restaurant just to have breakfast. We love it here. If you want great food and a very pleasant experience we definitely recommend you give this place a shot! We also just found out they will now be open for dinner soon! Thumbs up guys! read more

This place has delicious crepes! Perfect every time! The biscuits are great! Taste homemade and fresh. Hash browns are crispy and tasty! Karina is an amazing waitress, so sweet, friendly, and efficient! Crystal is an absolute sweetheart too. She's often the one who greets us and instantly makes you feel welcome. Come for the food stay for the service! Great job ladies! read more

I got pancakes and a side of scrambled eggs. The eggs were rubbery, cold, with strange discolored bits, but the pancake was ok. They were accommodating for kids (I had two little ones with me). The kids smiley face pancake bits are made with fruit, not whipped cream so be prepared for possible disappointment! The decaf coffee was awful, regular was ok. As others have noted, the decor is appalling. I think there are better brunch options in Redding - although judging from the number of people waiting for a table when we left at 11 on Sunday, apparently not everyone agrees! read more

I would have given this place more stars except for the fact that we could hear several times that the servers had to send food back to the kitchen for corrections. Hard to enjoy your meal when 'these eggs should be scrambled' or 'I'm missing a side of bacon here' etc is being shouted throughout. read more

Smells like a nursing home! Stained, filthy upholstery! Had to reorder my eggs three times and they still didn't get them right!

There food is delicious and best costumer service They help you right away and everyone is nice and friendly And the chicken is unique the best read more

I drive by this place pretty much everyday and it's always packed, so I decided to finally stop by to try it. The workers were all very nice and the service was fast. The reason for only 4 stars was because I found it to be a little pricy. The food was okay, nothing special. read more

Kind of a dive in that it looks really old. The staff were all very friendly and the atmosphere felt like grandma decorated. The hash browns were greasy and was the only thing we didn't like but you can order country potatoes anyways. Would consider going back next time we are in the area. read more

This spot is ok. From the reviews I read I expected a little bit better food. There is a nice atmosphere here and it was really nice and waiters were friendly. Just the food was ok waffles were dry and a little hard, and I feel the waffles were a bit pricey for just toppings which made it different from a plain waffle. read more

Good quality "at home" type cooking. Friendly, courteous and attentive wait staff. The only downside was the rudeness of the hostess at checkout. Thankfully the rest of the staff helped make up for her clear short comings at customer service and a simple smile. Perhaps it was a bad day for her. Sadly she is what's preventing another star as I remember similar issue on our previous visit with the hostess. read more

I usually go to Country Waffles about twice a week sometimes more and I enjoy every meal. Today my employer and I went in for breakfast/lunch. Meaning he had breakfast and I had lunch. I had never had the broasted chicken before. It was the best chicken I ever had. Juicy and crunchy it was so delicious now I'm wondering why it took me so long??? If you get a chance to go there another of my favorites is the Meatloaf. Yum. The staff and the owner treats everyone like a loved ones. Such a terrific place to go. read more

Food is great and so is the service! Heather was our waitress and just so good to us. Coffee on point, syrup warmed, ham-amazing.

I have nothing but good to say about country waffles I have been there several times over the years and as far as I'm concerned they have one of the best omelettes in the state of California the lady who used to work there is to cook several years ago used to make these five egg baked omelettes that were just incredible I haven't been there in at least two years but now that I have read some of these reviews and my own review I think I'm going to go back and have breakfast they make great waffles but I'm not a big waffles and but man their spinach and sausage omelette are just awesome I guess you could call them an awesomelett!.. don't just leave what you read, go to the restaurant have yourself a meal and make your own decision you won't regret it read more

I usually don't write reviews but I felt that I should today. The food was delicious, fresh, and came out in a quick manner. The waitress who served me and the owner were very friendly and helpful throughout the experience. With all the challenges that places like this face during this time, I was also impressed with how clean and organized everything was. I just want to say thank you to the waitress, owner, and kitchen staff for doing their best and making this a great experience. Thank you. read more

This is my favorite place to eat. Michael has totally redone the restaurant interior during some of the Covoid closures. The staff is very friendly and efficient with frequent coffee runs to keep cups hot and full. Charlene, Jennifer, Wendy and Crystal are always happy to see you and eager to help with your order and comfort. Food is always hot and have never had a bad or less than delicious meal. Michael keeps the place spotless and takes great pride in his establishment. It shows in every aspect of his business. I look forward to going there often and enjoying a great meal. Highly recommend Country Waffle!!!!!!!! read more

I haven't been here in years, so decided to give it a try, since I was in the area. It was almost lunchtime but I decided on their chicken fried steak breakfast. It came with three eggs and the choice of hash browns or country fried potatoes. I chose the hash browns, which were perfect. The chicken fried steak was flavorful and tender enough to cut with my fork. To my surprise, half a waffle came with it too. The service was excellent on this weekday. The next time, I'll take my wife as they had several omelette options she would like. read more

My husband and I went there for our first American waffle! It definitely set the bar high. We had the pecan, banana and caramel waffle, I would easily go back just so I can have it again. The staff were very friendly and the service was great! read more

Country Waffles - Breakfast burrito and pecan, banana and caramel waffle! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redding, California

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Their biscuits and gravy with bacon and milk. I go 19 miles for it. The people are always so helpful and friendly and you don't have to wait for your server as they all help out each other. You can also buy just the biscuits to go. It is noisy when it is about 3/4s full so I try to go before or after the rush. Not always successful since anyone who has been there comes back. The food all taste home made, and is served hot and right away. Everyone that works there deserves a raise including the cooks. I am a senior and get my order off the senior menu, but it is plenty and less expensive then the one for the younger set. Less then $8.00 read more

Wow...horrible service. We had to listen to the waitress go on and on about all her family members' dramas for our entire meal as she sat in the booth right next to us. The decor made me want to hang myself. The food was flavored with dust. Our waitress was seething with self-loathing under her cherry facade. It's the first time I've never left a tip in my four decades of life. Please spare yourself and go elsewhere. read more

Used to be the place to go, but that's changed. We're longtime return customers and the last two times we came, we were rushed to get adult drinks before the kids drinks and then the kids trickled in and took about 15 minutes total. Another 10 minutes before we had a server come take our order because nobody knew it was their table. Now today, we can't barely sit before she rushed our drinks. Then came and dropped them off and ran off. People got sat next to us after us got their order taken first. I decided to give this place a try again after the last incident and I'll probably not be coming back. Almost all the people left and now this place is just blah!! Sucks when you're a regular of a place and get shat on because people don't know how to do their jobs. read more

This place is the breakfast champion. Imagine it now: Chicken Fried Steak - delicious crispy-on-the-outside, soft and hot on the inside - hashbrowns. A few over-medium eggs and some sourdough toast - oh and throw in a side of deliciously crispy bacon. OR instead of imagining it, just head on over to Country Waffles! Everyone is real nice and the service is always great! Just some really nice ladies doing the darn thing. Always full when I leave - have never tried the waffles though. :/ read more

Decent breakfast/lunch spot off the beaten path in Redding. Dropped by enroute to Oregon and took advantage of their much-heralded breakfast fare. Probably a 5 min. trip off I-5 to get here. That's what we get for being such slavish devotees to Yelp... We ordered a garden omelette, a basic waffle, and blueberry pancakes. All were good quality, reasonable portion size. The blueberry pancakes were probably the best of the bunch. My wife really enjoyed the waffle, though I did not think it was remarkable. Service was quick, friendly and excellent. As some have remarked, the building is a little dated/ugly (pink theme going on here). They are a clear step up from the Denny's caste, but probably below Black Bear Diner, et al. read more

seriously nothing special foodwise, but it seems popular among the locals, and the service was friendly and accommodating.

Coffee good, my order was messed up and instead of re doing it they just handled it and gave it back a cold mess. Gordon Ramsey would be upset read more

Same as the Country Waffles in Chico! Excellent food! Especially the Waffles! Hence the name I guess...Great, fast, friendly service! My favorite breakfast place in town!!! read more

Loved the food, large portions, tasted great. We had breakfast. My stuffed french toast was so good, as well as my bfs skillet along with a tasty huge side of biscuits and gravy. We had a male server, don't know his name but he was great. I will be going back again! Edited to 5 idk why I put 4 stars? Lol read more

We've been there three times now. The service is great. Servers are friendly and attentive. The food, for the most part, was OK. My real complaint is the quality or condition of the oil they use on the griddle for their potatoes. Our last two trips its had a rancid taste to it and really spoiled the quality of the breakfast. I was going to let it slide after the first experience, but it was worse the second. read more

They are pretty old school in the decor but super sweet staff. We were the youngest by about 10 years & I am 60. I appreciated that they put the calorie count for each item. I would suggest 1/2 waffle servings. Way too big. read more

My family and I enjoy coming here. The customer service from the new owner and his staff is outstanding and really outshines almost every restauraunt in Redding. Even when very busy, we have never had to ask for refills on coffee and water due to the attentive staff. The food is very good and the servings are such that we need to request take-out boxes. Do yourself a favor and come in for breakfast. I spoke with the owner today and he stated that they will be opened for dinner as well. I also told him that I very much appreciated his friendliness to his customers since it must be difficult at times trying to please everyone that walks through his doors. If they had more stars, I would rate Country Waffles at least a ten. read more

The place itself was pretty nice with all the decorations and the staff were very friendly. The problem is the food, when first took a bite out of my hillbilly benedict is was all cold with a plain taste to it. read more

when BUBBA recommended the waffle house and held his party there, that was enough for us to give a whirl. been to several now days and when we are in town head straight there. service always a big ole welcome.food good and plenty of it. good coffee and good people make the great eating establishment it is. yes we love golf and waffle house. hope to see you there.thanks Bubba. read more

Very dirty I could only imagine what the kitchen looks like health department definitely needs to pay a visit.

Started out with lipstick on my coffee cup. Waffles tasted weird. Asked for crispy hashbrowns and and they came out liked fried noodles. Last but not least my omelet was cold. Will never go there again. read more
