Always the best breakfast in town with the best service as well! Make sure you're hungry!

This tiny diner is fantastic. You wait in line, then seat yourself at the next possible table (they also have a few counter stools). There's an open counter with the grill behind, and the guy cooking was super busy when we were there on a Saturday for brunch. They serve all day breakfast and diner food, and it's exactly what you would hope for and expect from such a place. Huge portions, great food, great service. read more

Got up early on Saturday and just beat the rush. This is the cutest diner and the food is very good. The pancakes are not just as big as a plate, they are as big as a oval platter. The syrup comes out hot. One of the few places that provides enough butter as well. The star of the show was the corn beef hash fried crispy and just delicious. Definitely come here. Service was excellent with lots of water and coffee refills. I made a mistake ordering and they were so friendly and accommodating. read more

Driving through northern Iowa this morning and used Yelp to find a good breakfast stop. The diner is small but clean and obviously very popular! Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. We enjoyed eggs 2 ways, grits, chicken fried steak, toast and a REAL sausage patty! read more

Stopped here just passing through. Locally owned joint with a long history. Food was good. Cool booth setup and nice staff.

The big pancake is great and made me full in 1 minute and I left so happy and later on my day was amazing

Large portions so be careful of what you order. Pancakes are as big as plate. Great food. Great waitresses

Decided to do breakfast here today and the food that we received today was horrible and when I expressed my concern to the server, she did not offer to remake our omelette and I truly believe because I said my wife and I are going to share our brunch. They gave us less. This is so unfair. We spend money here all the time as well as other people in our community and family members as well but to be treated as if we are not valued as customers doesn't sit well with me. I am honest I am of good report in the community. I am a minister and I work hard for my money. Morg's will not get my business again or at least for a very long time. read more

Went in early for breakfast. Jane, our waitress a riot. We had the best time talking and laughing. Morg's is the local hangout. It was owned for years by a gentleman who when he hit in his 80's he sold Morg's to his employee's. Our breakfast, Eggs, bacon toast were on point. The local coffee they serve wasn't my favorite. However a very nice breakfast spot and the local flavor is free.I'd stop back into Morg's if passing through again. Hello Jane read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp and we have to agree that the positive reviews were right on. The restaurant was filled with people. We sat at the bar, engaged in conversation with the employees and other diners. We ordered pancakes, eggs and bacon. Warning! The pancakes are HUGE! Everything was better than delicious. It's a great find and we highly recommend Morg's. Thanks for a great and memorable dining experience. read more

I like trying local restaurants with character and this seemed like a great choice. The atmosphere was perfect. Because of covid, the counter was replaced with a couple of two seater tables instead of counter stools, which is where we sat. Diners are usually quick in and quick out. We got there right at noon and we waited about 10 min for a table. The parking lot was full and we learned that if it was full, all tables are taken. Not sure what was going on but it took at least 45 min to get our food. We ordered one piece of French toast, hashbrowns, and a bacon cheese burger. There are prob only 12 tables on the whole place. It took waaaayyyyy too long. We could see the grill area from our table so truly not sure why it took so long. Food was good. The hashbrowns were HUGE and nice and crispy. Our waitress was friendly. Atmosphere was awesome so gave a little higher rating but I hope they figure out the cooking times soon. read more

Crazy big portions. I had a really good omelette and the hash browns were great too. Quick and friendly service. Great job! read more

I wish I had a bigger stomach to try everything. Chicken fried steak was great. Best hashbrowns I have ever eaten and I usually pass on them at other restaurants. Get the cheesy hashbrowns. I do not get out this way much, but will be back for sure when in area. read more

When you come to morgs be sure to come hungry. Big potions of great food, and a look at how a lunch place looked in the 60s . The place still looks the same. The plates come loaded and the price is right. The pancakes look like a hubcap and are light and fluffy. A Waterloo institution that hopefully will be here for years to come. read more

Friendly personnel...quaint 1960's diner atmosphere. Food was served hot, but had lacked any distinctive flavor. Pretty bland overall. More institutional type food (seemed to be right out of a food service provider's freezer bag) than we expected - and the pricing was significantly higher than a typical diner. Not a bad experience, but nothing that would make us want to return. read more

Ok! If you are hungry??? Go to Morgs. I do not know the history, but have a feeling it is a staple of the downtown Waterloo. It is a one or two rows of tables and chairs and the kitchen. Pretty much something out of a western/farming diner in a movie. Oh yes it could be in a National Lampoon Vacation movie as well. Anyhow I had an omelette and hasbrowns. Pretty much took up my half of my table. The breakfast was delicious and the service ws good. This is a hopping little place full up on a Wednesday morning around 7am. Great Job. i will be back! read more

The Famous Morg's: Staying downtown, the Waterloo locals recommended the gigantic pancakes at Morg's. Knowing it's always best to listen to local folks about great food, I paid it a visit the next day. It's a small American diner like any other small American diner with one awesome difference: the giant pancakes rock. For me, all I needed was one pancake and I couldn't even finish it. (Neither could my friend.) Even during a crowded lunch rush, they got us seated almost immediately. Though there was a short wait for service, they got us our food in a timely way, and it was a fun outing. Yup, listen to the locals. This little hole-in-the-wall Downtown Waterloo diner is famous in the area. This is the place to go for breakfast or brunch, folks. Check it out. I told a stranger I ran into about Morg's, and he instantly knew all about it, having gone may times over the years. He said it's famous! They just need a bigger place to fit all the people, but that would take away from its mid-Century charm! (It's perfect the way it is.) read more

Everything here is fantastic I highly recommend it. Friendly place and excellent service

Great old time diner with amazing service and HUGE pancakes? Food was great, we will definitely be back!

If I recall, the business has been in operation since 1960. The establishment is dated, small and is packed for breakfast - get there early. Limited parking beside building , street parking available too. The food was good, just what I was hoping/ expecting. The serving size (hash browns) was more than expected. Staff very friendly and hustle. I did think my dish was priced on the high side. Check menu prices. I was in town for work and would revisit for breakfast. read more

Morg's - 2 Eggs, Country Fried Steak and Hashbrowns - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

I came in having high expectations. But it was a bit disappointing. The pancakes were great and all BUT the food was DRENCHED in oil. Almost like eating soup hash brown. It could have been better if food was prepared with a bit of care. Other than that service was great. People were friendly. Place was pretty clean. But I dont think i'll come back unless I want heart problems. read more

I've been eating here since the 70s. I always came here with my Grandparents. Nobody can make food taste as good as Morg's can. I will eat here till my dying day. If I only had 1 meal to eat before I die it would be a pancake and link sausage from here. read more

Haven't been in years due to moving and Saturday was the perfect flash back! Hot beef was ON POINT and huge

Amazing all around. These hash browns are something like I've never seen. Nearly plate sized. Eggs sunnyside up! Yum read more

Fantastic! Wonderful! A small wait for a table, but completely worth the wait. Busy, traditional Americana style diner with delicious, prepared-from-scratch food, and attentive service. Pancakes the size of small dogs - perfectly made sausage gravy, and crispy, golden hash browns made on a flat top griddle with butter - And everything is very reasonably priced - This is a road-trip destination for my daughter and I - we ride 90 miles for this! read more

This is a good place for breakfast! The coffee is good, the portions are massive! And the service very friendly. It is a small place, with limited cooking space. So things do move slowly. However, know that going in and you won't be disappointed! read more

I think Morf's has been around since the 50's, and should be around another hundred years at least. We all had eggs and bacon, some had the amazing sausages. Patty or links, links rock! Of course you need to order a pancake for the table... Servers are all sweet people, and love plainly their jobs... read more

The food is always good and hot. This diner has been around for a long time and we frequently eat here as it is a great restaurant that is home cooked meals right in front of the customers. Has a 50's style vibe with jukebox at the table. Great restaurant. read more

Everytime I am here the staff is friendly and the food is great I like the smaller places not the chain restaurants and I like my breakfast food always the best thanks for all y'all do read more

Love this place my favorite go to for brunch. I always order the biscuits and gravy with the grits. The pancakes (CAKES) are really good too. They are the size of your plate and served with the special homemade syrup that perfectly soaks into every single bite of your Cake Highly Recommend them any day of the week read more

Hands down, the best breakfast in the entire world. I am such a big fan of this place, it has been ran by the same family for a very long time. If you go on Saturdays or Sundays you will end up waiting a long time to be seated, but once their amazing food arrives, I will make it worth the wait. Massive portions, awesome greasy spoon place. Omellettes to die for, pancakes the size of truck tires (mild exaggeration) and friendly staff! Must check it out. Bring quarters to play music! read more

The food is rock star and the place has history. You better come hungry because the portions are plentiful and delicious. The prices are reasonable and to be expected with the quality of food. The coffee is... well, ok, but the food more than makes up for it. By far the best breakfast in the Cedar Valley and the service is always super friendly but not overdone. read more

Always look forward to breakfast at Morg's!!! Homemade hash browns absolutely amazing! Fabulous HUGE pancakes. And if course the superb omelette.. ... you really can't go wrong. Not much seating, so be prepared to wait in line. Have always wanted to have lunch there, but keep going back for breakfast/brunch. read more
