Morg's - Going to morgs - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

Small little breakfast and lunch cafe where the old carpenter's used To be. The omelet is quite large and you get a huge portion of hash Browns. The waitresses are very attentive often stopping by to fill up your coffee within a few minutes. They also have pies made from scratch read more

So good! best hasbrowns ever you can tell that they must shred them themselves. omelette was very good too. pancake was massive and delicious. service was amazing as well! will be back read more

We were told this is a place you have to try while in town. I have to say the food is good, the portions are huge, prices are good but the staff isn't as welcoming. It was our first time coming so we weren't exactly sure how the seating worked. The staff didn't greet people upon walking in so I guess that's just the way it works here. We seated ourselves once a table opened. The bus boy and the waitress were both friendly. We will try it again. read more

Awesome service and great tasting food with oversized portions. I had the half order of biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs with cheese. When it came I dumped the cheesy eggs on top of the biscuit and gravy. The gravy was savory goodness with plenty of sausage. The only thing that was meh was the processed cheese on the eggs. What is it with Iowa and the freaking processed cheese? My husband had huge pancake and I mean huge! It was fluffy and perfectly cooked. He's a hearty eater and barely got through half of it. It came with 3 sausage links and eggs. Prices were very reasonable! Cooked by ladies that looked to be moms. Can't beat it read more

Morg's is one of those nostalgic places that I can't pass up whenever I go home and they didn't disappoint this time either. I had the 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburger with fries. They are known for their massive pancakes so make sure you try those if you're a first timer! The service is always great and they now take credit/debit cards. read more

Love the atmosphere! Everyone is always friendly and food is never a let down. It's a small place so expect a wait on a busy weekend morning but you won't be disappointed. read more

This is one of our favorite places for breakfast. Our grandson loves their pancakes since they are the BEST in town!! My husband and I love all of the delicious breakfast choices on the menu. If you have a chance also try their delicious lunch specials too. read more

If you like old fashioned "Greasy Spoon" restaurants. You'll love Morg's! Food is great every time.

Our breakfast was fantastic, and the atmosphere is a little like stepping back in time. A great experience overall and would definitely recommend to those who love an old fashioned diner atmosphere. read more

Heavy heaping of food and delicious. Recommend if you want more home cooked food. Better than chain restaurants.

Amazing breakfasts. Super vintage atmosphere love it!! Can't go wrong, unless you're super stuffy/ and to high of expectations. read more

My favorite place to go for a Saturday morning breakfast! Denver Omelette is so yummy!

Morgs! Loved my two visits to this little eatery in the heart of Waterloo. I went on a Monday and a Wednesday morning, and both times the place was near capacity - and for good reason. The staff is accommodating, the portions are humongous, and the place just oozes Midwest charm. Tight booths are an issue for the bigger boned, and if you eat here a lot, you will likely become squishier in the midsection. I'm certain I'll be back the next time my travels take me to Waterloo. Hopefully they'll have wrapped up all the street work by then. read more

Two eggs, country fried steak, hash browns, and toast. Fantastic! And enough to feed a family. Ok, I'm exaggerating. But only a little. Come hungry and be prepared to loosen your belt. read more

I asked if I could kiss the cook at the end of my meal. A great small diner with stools to watch the magic happen. Service was lovely, and the food was not just your regular omelet breakfast. If there is a wait, you should wait. If I ever find myself in this town again, this would be an absolute must. I wish I hadn't found it on my way out of town or I would have eaten there more than once! YUM. read more

Morg's - Veggie omelet with hash browns & all the fixins (peppers, onions, cheese) with raisin toast. - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

They have excellent food. It is like a 60's diner! I always get hash browns, bacon, toast, and scrambled eggs, which is a combo of some sort. The portions are excellent size, so come hungry. I think the prices are a little high for this establishment. However, service is generally pretty good. There is a counter and besides that, there is only about 10 booths so there might be a wait at sometimes. It is also worth nothing that they close at 1 on the weekdays. I am giving it 4 out of 5 because they are cash only, so they do not accept credit and debit cards, and I think that is really inconvenient because I, like most people, never carry cash, just my credit card. read more

Morg's - Egg combo! Very go portions, also comes with a giant pancake! - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

Going on 11 years of coming here. I still feel it is the best breakfast place in the Cedar Valley. Price is right, service is always awesome, and they are simply just darn good. All that keeps it at a 5 Stars. Value + Service + Atmosphere = Rating. read more

Morg's - French Toast for the masses - Diners Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

Small, greasy/spoon style, lost in the 50's (not the fake ones) diner. Stick to breakfast and you will be happy. The pancakes are as huge as every review says and I know they are made in small batches. (Home made) the hash browns are also shredded here. They also make their syrup the way some mom's used to with brown sugar. It is generally busy on the weekends and there's not much for waiting area. ... And I would not recommend bringing a large party (over 6) and sitting together. Prices are incredibly reasonable and portions are quite large. I have become a regular and the waitstaff treats even the new visitors like family. I would recommend this as a must/stop if you are in town and a breakfast lover. Make sure to get a pancake. read more

Love the pancakes service was pleasant food came out fast overall great experience well worth the prices!

Old school diner. Great food with great service. Usually long line to be seated but it's worth the wait.

I love this place both for the food and the local je ne sais crois : ) Diner Breakfast and lunch

Scratching my head.....trying to figure out how this place has good reviews. We waited for an hour to get our food. During the hour wait, our drinks were never refilled. We watched as they put numerous to go orders in front of our ticket. Once the food arrived, it was fine not great. read more

great coffee along with with excellent service and conversation! The place is spic and span. I didn't get food, but the cheeseburgers looked great!!!! They smelled heavenly! read more

What can I say that hasn't been repeated by a lot of these other reviews? Food = big and delicious Service = attentive and friendly A little diner like out of the movies with awesome food. read more

Best breakfast in the Cedar Valley. I love the Hawaiian omelette and hash browns, and of course the GIANT pancakes.

. I have been going to this restaurant for 40 yrs. Our last visit. Hashbrowns were different for some reason. The bacon was curled up and tasted like fried chicken. They forgot to cook the pancake. So we were done eating when it was brought out. We took it home in box. We normally have breakfast at the cost of $40-45$ for the family. It was $71. I'm afraid this was our last visit. More and more restaurants will be closing as families can afford the inflation. What a shame read more

This local hotspot is just not the spot for me. My husband and I arrived about 10:30 am on a Thursday. Every booth inside was taken as well as every stool at the counter. Not a problem... I'm a very patient person. The downside? There is no method to prioritize who gets to sit next. So my husband I were waiting (in the tiny entryway) and there was a lady ahead of us who was waiting at a 2 person bench. 3 men then came in, squeezed past us and as soon as a group stood up to leave they nabbed the booth. The staff doesn't seat you, they didn't even greet us upon entry. You literally fend for yourself. So we waited longer. The place is small, kind of a dive. No fancy decor, just basic booths and a meal counter. About 5 employees were running around waiting tables or cooking. Once we did sit down (which we literally had to grab a table that was still dirty out of fear of someone else taking it) the waitress came soon to clear the customer before a dirty dishes. The menu has several options. I made a poor choice. I didn't want anything huge (pancakes were bigger than the plate and an inch thick) so I chose "French toast with meat". My husband chose biscuits and gravy and an extra side of 1 scrambled egg. The food came in a reasonable amount of time. This surprised me as they have such a small cooking area. My French toast was non memorable. For $6.60 I got 1 slice of French toast that was way too eggy and 3 pieces of bacon. The 1 pice of French toast was small, limp and not even Texas toast thick. It would probably work as a kids meal. At least the bacon was good. My husband liked his biscuits and gravy and the portion was large. For $25 for 2 breakfast meals and drinks (coke and on) I expected more. The service was nothing special, the atmosphere bland and the food overpriced and ordinary. But as consistently busy as they are they must be doing something right. So they won't miss my business. read more

Locally owned diner. With portions big enough to share. I've only ever been at breakfast time. I've seen they have lunch too. A must try place if you want authentic Waterloo comfort food. read more

Great food ! I still miss carpenters but I'm a little biased my son is a Carpenter! Morgs is what's left of the good short ordered homemade food left downtown read more

Food is delicious & staff are friendly. 4/5 stars because waits are long as the building is small & they only accept cash.

GREAT food. Pricey but worth it. Really need more seating. Sometimes wait is too long. Excellent service. Convenient location. NEED LARGER NEWER FACILITY. 5 Stars. read more

We were passing by this little town and we stopped to have breakfast here. Everyone was super friendly. The pancakes were amazing!! The syrup was just perfect. thanks for the nice experience before our long 12 hour drive! read more

Food was delicious and the service was outstanding! Will definitely be back! Server was very attentive and friendly.

In 2018 I had deployed to Iraq. One of my fellow soldiers was from around the Waterloo area and had brought with him a coffee mug from Morg's. As morale ran low amongst the ranks, we resorted in playing harmless pranks to keep our spirits high. One such series of pranks involved us hiding our friends coffee mug which finally culminated in me paying to mail the mug back to Morg's. I had composed a note explaining the prank and requesting simply that upon receiving the mug Morg's would email me back a picture with it in my email address provided. Seemingly a simple request considering the sacrifice we were making for our country. We received no email back. I have no other choice but to believe that Morg's doesn't support the troops. read more

Morg's may have a bit of a wait depending on when you arrive. But the wait is well worth it. Friendly staff, AMAZING food and prices are fair for all of the food you get. Your food comes to you hot and delicious. Best place for breakfast hands down! read more

Great place to eat I used to eat there alone but I've gotten busy there pancakes are great so are the tenderloin

We were passing through Waterloo around lunch time so I went to Yelp to find a local spot. Morg's came pretty highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Even though it was lunch time I couldn't resist having breakfast food. The hash browns were crispy and top notch. Our waitress was good and the food arrived quickly, despite the fact the place was hoppin' busy. Prices were reasonable and the diner atmosphere was great. Nothing but high praise for this place. read more
