First things first. Been here once before, liked it, but never went again because I didn't know if it was all that. I've come back with new eyes and a more prepared stomach. I just needed a lil something. My girl going to stockpot and I went over. Dudes quick and to the point, food only takes about 10 minutes, I jammed a bit while inside but frfr it was a lil dead in there cuz it was a lil later but I ain't mad, more time for me to get my order! I would say if you haven't had them before? Today is the day to get up and try it. If you have? You need to be reviewing too cuz this spot too good not to have it bustling all the time! I digress tho, more time for me to get my food and leave satisfied. read more

I have wanted to try Granby Waffle Shop for a while, especially once I found out it was the sister shop to Richmond's Capitol Waffle Shop. I also won gift certificates for Selden Market, and they were burning a hole in my mind. So early on Sunday morning, my partner and I trek from VA Beach to Downtown Norfolk. After a few phone calls to their owner, I could use my gift certificate. We ordered the classic chicken and waffle for my partner (without Captain Crunch or powdered sugar), and since I was in the mood for sweet and savory - I ordered the Grandma waffle. The Grandma waffle is a full-size waffle featuring scrambled eggs, breaded chicken, strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. To drink, my partner grabbed a coffee, and since I firmly believed in brunch, I grabbed a mimosa. Our drinks were the second best part of our dining experience (the first was the customer service). The waffles were lackluster. The chicken and waffle only feature the equivalent of one chicken tender split into four pieces. I wished I had photo evidence, but my partner said, 'Nope, don't photograph this. ' My waffle was better. The strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar helped compensate for the lack of sweetness in the waffle. My waffle was also filler since I had more toppings, but another chicken tender would be friendly. read more

This waffle shop opened up in Selden Market years ago and Sophia and I finally had the chance to stop by. It's part of the Virginia company Capitol Waffle Shop which has locations in the Richmond area and Harrisonburg. Not only can you select sweet waffle items, but also savory ones as well. We came in when they were nearly empty with an hour left of operations. Would this 1st visit result in happiness or one of disappointment? The business itself looks fantastic. There is bar-type seating next to the counter and in the back a good amount of tables. Each table have disposable forks and knives available and a few have waffle syrup. And the walls are covered with pictures and quotes. If you don't want any soda, they do offer complimentary water and cups for you. Thumbs up from me. After a minute of looking over the menu, we were ready. I selected the Buffalo Chicken Waffle which consisted of lightly fried chicken bites, buffalo sauce, ranch and crushed Doritos nacho cheese chips. It did take a minute to get used to this concoction, but in the end it was really good. The waffle itself was baked perfectly and most importantly, did not become soft nor soggy from the toppings. Very important. I would've liked a bit more drizzle of buffalo sauce and ranch, but this right here worked from the first bite to the last. Sophia ordered the chorizo egg and queso waffle and enjoyed it as well. That could be an item to order the next time we stop by.. It took too long for us to give them a try, but I'm glad we finally had the chance. Truly a hidden gem in the Norfolk area. We'll be back again soon :) read more

Wednesday 8/14/2024 Came across this spot a few years ago while I was watching Mr.chimetime on TikTok so I had to see what's up. It located in the selden market and has customizable waffles that can be savory or sweet. I made a takeout order and got the one sweet waffle $11.49, bacon cordon waffle $12.05, and full size house captain crunch chicken & waffles $10.99. - One sweet waffle * This SWEET (diabetes) waffle comes with blueberries, strawberries, Oreo toppings, m&ms, and chocolate syrup. * The waffle was pretty intimidating and SWEET (of course) but all in all, it was solid to me. I know kids and lovers of sweets would be all over this waffle. - Bacon cordon waffle * This SAVORY waffle comes with bacon, fried chicken bites, onions, melted cheese, and more cheese. * This was a pretty good waffle and it was easily my favorite of the 3. - House captain crunch chicken & waffles * This is just a plain waffle with captain crunch seasoning/crumbs & fried "chicken" bites but it was a huge disappointment. * Waffle was decent but everything else sucked: the "chicken" and captain crunch seasoning/crumbs were both awful. * The "chicken" didn't taste like real chicken but instead tasted like low quality freezer chicken nuggets from the store. Overall, it wasn't as good as I expected but it was still a cool experience and I like the idea & concept. I would recommend this spot for those who LOVE waffles. read more

We enjoyed our original waffles with custom toppings! They were well made and quick to be served. We visited mid-morning on a Saturday and had no wait. Prices were reasonable. The GWS is connected to both the Slover Library and Selden Market, which made for some fun adventures after we ate. We will be back with family & friends next time! read more

We were the only customers in the place at the time we ordered. 30 minutes later they had not even delivered our coffee. I would like to comment on the food except it hasn't arrived yet. Update: Food finally arrived! Bacon was black (so at least it was crisp) scrambled eggs were crumbly, sausage patty was a bit larger than a quarter but not by much. Save your money and time elsewhere. read more

This restaurant definitely offers something different! I opted for the bacon cordon waffle and the flavor combos are interesting. The waffle was a bit sweeter than I expected, but cooked great, as was the breaded chicken. The toppings were a bit over the top IMO but combined it was a good bite for lunch. The shop itself was clean and the staff were very friendly. read more

This was a fun place to stop in Norfolk. They have a large variety of savory and sweet waffles. We tried a wizza, a pizza waffle, a Buffalo chicken waffle and a waffle with bacon eggs and cheese. The bacon egg and cheese was our favorite. They do have some outdoor seating as well as indoor. Order at the counter and pick up your meal. read more

This place smells heavenly even from the entrance. Service on this day left something to be desired - better service. The person who took our order didn't have any life to him - didn't greet us, didn't smile - it was clear he didn't want to be working . I started our ordering the bowl with scrambled egg but told him I changed my mind and ordered half chicken and waffle. My friend did too but ended up paying for the scrambled egg on a waffle. Good thing was the fast and great service gotten from the manager regarding my friend's refund! The waffle was good, the chicken wasn't breaded like traditional chicken and waffle, more akin to nuggets! Maybe next time would be a better experience over-all. read more

The waffles and bacon had a weird fermented flavor. The bacon was seasoned with parsley.

Love the gentleman at the counter! He was very pleasant and helpful with the menu. I tried the V and GF waffle and it was delicious, nice texture, with the maple syrup. Hubby ordered the regular waffle and he really enjoyed it! Great experience! read more

Have you ever walked into a business and just knew immediately that you made a great decision? Well that's how I felt the moment I walked into Granby Waffle Shop, mostly thanks to the amazing energy of Melvin and India! Before I even placed my order, I felt like I was talking to old friends. They were so sweet, positive and funny. And they were so helpful walking me through the robust menu, filled with so many savory and sweet options. I'm not a huge waffle person and hang more on the savory side of the street, so they showed me which menu items may be of interest and then also explained that I could customize anything. I was also happy to see you can order half of a waffle, which is the perfect amount I would want without having to then be wasteful. The food was pretty good, but it was the service that made me so happy I stopped by. Businesses like this really reflect how much an interaction with a great business can really set the tone and mood for so many people, each and everyday. Thank you Melvin, India and the rest of the good folks that work here! I'll definitely return whenever I'm in town! read more

At first the line intimated me, but the line moves very quickly!! The team that works there is very friendly and very helpful. The Granby Waffle shop has counter service. They do not offer table service. The counter service is quick and seamless. While you order is being prepared you have time to find a table there is plenty of seating inside or if the weather is nice you can sit outside. I ordered The Martha with no blueberries. The waffle did not disappoint! It was fresh, hot and fluffy on the inside had a the right amount of crisp on the outside. It was very good. I would definitely visit again!! read more

If you're in the mood for waffles, this is the place for you. An entire establishment with just that-- waffles. It's not so much a "restaurant" style as much as it gave "coffee shop" vibes. I don't recommend large family gatherings as it's a kind of small place. The location can be found inside of the Selden Market off Granby street closer to Plume Street. It's a cute place with funny sayings on the walls. The cashier didn't seem too informed of what GWS offered, however the owner/ manager on staff was extremely helpful. Once you order, you wait for your drink to be made. Upon receiving your beverage, you can find seating and they will bring the food to you. The owner/ manager was extremely funny when shouting your name. He always seem to sing a fun tune with delivery of your food. We ordered the whole chicken and waffles (which comes with captain crunch), Piggy egg waffle, lemonade, and Granby mimosa. The chicken for the chicken and waffles could have been a little more crisper. They mentioned it was oven baked, but maybe having an air Fryer would make it even better. I also optMy boyfriend really enjoyed the piggy egg-- I'm surprised I was able to get a photo. The cutest thing was the mini waffle on the edge of the mimosa. Super cute and innovative. The waffles are extremely good! Why give 4/5 stars? The chicken. The lack of knowledge of the menu. I suggest maybe have the cashier up-sale items. We never were offered to add sides to our orders. Other than that, I would I return. read more

Not sure about all the good reviews. The food was basic. I always wanted to try it, but I have only went there to eat at Stock Pot which is across from them. My son wanted waffles and we were in the area. So we tried it. Now I know why the place is always empty. Food there reminded me of something you would get at an amusement park. Re- heated, soggy, premade, "out of a bag" ingredients. Like, if you are really, really hungry.... It will do. But this was a one and done for us. read more

Piggy Egg Berry Waffle. It was yummy but I was slightly disappointed because it was supposed to come with blueberries and strawberries. They were out of blueberries that day, but failed to let me know. When the waffle came out there were no blueberries. They did offer to put extra strawberries or bananas, but that was after they served it to me. I decided on bananas instead. I will say that they did not mention in the description that the bacon is sweet Won't do that again. I would do that waffle again, just no bacon. Next go 'round I ordered half a waffle with egg and sausage gravy. So darn good Hands to the heavens, it was delicious. read more

Disappointed. I'm in Norfolk from Northern Virginia for the day & I decided to try a local spot for breakfast. I figured can't go wrong with chicken & waffles. Sadly mistaken. The cashier & the girl that brought me my food were nice, restaurant looked clean, but it was chilly inside so I decided to take my food to go. The waffle was a tad overcooked, not too flavorful and if I'm not mistaken, those were definitely bagged chicken nuggets that they served me. epic fail. I gave 3 stars only because the food wasn't absolutely disgusting. But they definitely need to step it up! I went to this restaurant because of the high reviews & I'm confused about what were these previous diners eating!?! Because what I had was NOT IT! For $13, this should NOT have been more than $8, $9 bucks tops! read more

Food was okay I'm not a fan of all my food touching lol !! But the waffle had a great flavor. BYOW 2/5 Buffalo chicken 4/5 ( my son said it had too much sauce and not enough chicken) Country waffle 2/5 ( my pick ) You go up to the counter to order your food and the waitress brings it out. They have a drink station where you get extra napkins and straws. The table has syrup and silverware. So it's pretty much self service. They have a couple of places to sit and wonderful views of downtown Norfolk from the open windows!!! The eating area was very clean and somewhat quiet. Not to much art on the walls just simple and easy. If your into loaded waffles then this is definitely your spot !!! Hope my review helps with your next food decision!! read more

Wonderfully affordable as well!! read more

After a week in the Outer Banks, my family and I stayed the night in downtown Norfolk before flying out the following morning. Before heading for the airport to catch our flight, we stopped at the Granby Waffle Shop for a quick breakfast. Orders are placed at the counter (or through an online ordering system) and prepared in the open kitchen behind. It was busy on a Monday morning holiday, but the wait for our food was only about 15 minutes. I ordered the Captain Crunch chicken & waffles, which come with oven-baked breaded chicken bites, captain crunch, and powdered sugar ($10.99). I would have preferred the chicken to be deep-fried, but this was still really good. You can order this without the Captain Crunch cereal, but I would not recommend doing so. The crushed cereal adds a nice sweetness to the dish that would be missing otherwise. My kids were happy with their house waffles, but you can also build your own waffles from a wide variety of toppings. There are also more than a dozen specialty savory waffles and a handful of dessert waffles. I really liked this unique concept and would recommend checking it out when in the area. read more

Horrible experience. I can only hope they fix themselves before they go out of business. I showed up for lunch on a Sunday afternoon with friends. We had heard great things and were looking forward to trying these waffles. We stood at the counter for about 5-10 minutes and not one of the three visible staff members even acknowledged we were there. One appeared to be cooking, one was slowly making a milkshake, and one was wandering around. We didn't even get a "be right with you" or a "welcome". All we got was silence and no service. Can't recommend this spot. read more

My husband and I went here to get brunch with our friends and family on Father's Day, which is also the day after we got married. Melvin and Quan were friendly and very helpful. Quan gave us a warm greeting and congratulations when we told him we just got married. We asked him if they had plant-based/non-dairy whipped cream available to substitute the regular dairy whipped cream on the waffles (I have a dairy allergy) and Quan had non-dairy whipped cream ready for us, which we appreciated. Melvin brought our food out to us and was great as well. The restaurant has ample seating and is very spacious, well lit, and clean. There are a wide variety of flavors and toppings to try on the menu. They also have vegan and gluten-free waffles. I ordered the Martha waffle and a mimosa (the mimosa comes with a cute little waffle wedge on the rim). The food was DELICIOUS, and we definitely plan on going back again. Our family and friends that joined us, also really enjoyed their meals as well! Definitely recommend. read more

This is a cute quick stop for breakfast. When you first enter, you place your order at the counter, once your order is done you pick it up from the other counter and find you a seat. The employees are very nice and friendly & make good suggestions. This place is SOLEY for waffle lovers, if you don't like waffles stay away lol. You can put just about anything on your waffle. Oreos, M&Ms, bananas, chocolate, eggs, bacon, whipped cream, blueberries, you name it , they got it on a waffle. They also have good size mimosas. The place was clean and quite to be right in the middle of downtown norfolk. read more

Over this past year, I feel like this waffle shop has been on a downhill trend. My friend ordered a chicken and waffle, and he got a couple what-looked-like Tyson Chicken Nuggets instead of a full fried chicken breast or fried chicken tenders. The chicken nuggets were pretty cold when it came out because the service was very slow. We ordered our food and we didn't get our food for an hour because they couldn't get the waffle maker to produce waffles as fast as orders were coming in. The batter was just worse than a Hampton Inn waffle batter. My other friend ordered eggs and bacon with his waffles. He only got eggs on his waffles because they ran out of bacon at 11am, and the eggs were not real eggs. They were the drenched powdered eggs, so it looked and tasted grainy. I hardly ever give a one star to a business, but this shop needs it to get better. Parking is street parking or parking garage if you still want to try this place. read more

What a great little place! Who doesn't like waffles? Everyone does, and to be able to have them in very different ways is awesome. I don't think if ever heard of a savory waffle previously, but I now know how good it can be. I ordered the Brunch Waffle, which was really good. The chorizo spice sneaks up on you as you eat it, but never becomes overpowering. Sprinkle some of that syrup on there, and the sweet, savory, and spicy play together really well. My only complaint is the coffee. I had grounds at the bottom of my cup, which is not a nice surprise! But some quality coffee in a place like this would really set it off. The location is inside of a shopping center, right across from the Stockpot. Inside is surprisingly large. We arrived right after opening so it wasn't packed, but the traffic was steady. Definitely recommended. Next time I'll get a $5 mimosa instead of the coffee. read more

We have been saying for months that we need to check out Granby Waffle and I'm so disappointed it took us that long because the food, service and atmosphere was perfect! Located immediately to the side of Slover Library, we sat in the open area with sky lights that give views of the library. The seating area was spacious, clean and had great lighting. The waffles were little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like a good Belgium waffle should be! They had a good flavor and didn't overpower the toppings. I got the chicken and waffles and I barely needed any syrup. The salty/sweet combination was perfect. My husband got the meat lovers waffle with egg, chicken and sausage. He didn't even offer me a bite, he kept it all to himself. And the icing on the cake of this awesome experience was the service! Melvin & (I believe his name was) Thomas were considerate, friendly and funny. They kept us laughing and made the already great experience, wonderful! read more

Ordered online, but received an email that they missed my order, that's fine so I decided to call for an order instead. I call the number and I thought he said "hold on" so I said okay. Then he says "hello you called me?" I said "yes can I order?" He said "uhh no you can order online" (with an attitude clearly) I said "I did, it didn't go through?" And then he goes "oh .... What would you like?" -- at that point, I was annoyed because I was actually excited to try out this place but just from that response, I changed my mind so I told him nevermind and he said okay and hung up. So to whoever answered the phone, thank you for that! Will not be trying this place after all and will spread the word, thank you so much! read more

My first impression of the restaurant was very very pleasant! The person taking my order was ver knowledgeable and friendly! The Country Breakfast Waffle was good but it taste like it was missing something. The chicken was more like chicken nuggets and they were not cooked very done. I could've like some flavored syrup to go along with it. The Chicken Ranch BLT Waffle needed more sauce as it was dry! We also tried the Hash Brown waffle! Now, if they offered the Hash Brown Waffle as a base alternative to the regular waffle that would be AMAZINGGGGGGGG!!! I will come back but I will AVOID the chicken! read more
