Classic diner specializing in breakfast items, namely waffles!…read more Sequestered into the industrial part of the city yet sharing space with eateries, shops, and gas stations, Country Waffles is a beacon for those looking to break their morning fast in order to seize the day ahead. Just off of the highway entrance, it's a convenient spot to stop by before heading off to labor (whether it's work or just errands). The parking situation is decent; they share a smaller piece of the lot with some smaller eateries and stores but if need be, the main portion of the lot in front of the Target is typically vacant. Be aware, however, the cell service in this area is miserable and Country Waffles itself doesn't have wifi (and proudly so, to encourage socializing and disconnecting from devices). As you step foot into the restaurant, you'll be greeted by the staff and seated. For individuals, you may be seated at the stools and for small to medium sized parties, you'll have the option for booths and tables. For parties of 6 or more, you may have the option to be seated at their booths where the partition can be removed, creating for an extra long booth. Upon being seated, you'll be given menus for you to peruse. Their menu is quite comprehensive for all things breakfast. Waffles, pancakes, scrambles, omelets, and benedicts are specialties here and I'd wager that it's best not to venture too far from it. As a chain, they do have their local offerings representing the culture of the community and staff. If you're unsure of what to get, don't fret as each meal comes with a side of potatoes and carb which includes your choice of toast, two pancakes, or half a waffle. Hearty, protein rich meals are also available here including a favorite of many, chicken and waffles. If you do end up coming in early, you'll be able to take advantage of their early bird special, but for the rest of us late wakers, the normal menu prices are still decent. Plus, the portions are generous and fair for the prices. A defining factor is their quickness - from order to food served, you're looking at most a 15 minute wait and the food comes out piping hot. Typically they all come at once for your table to feast together. Furthermore, the pancakes and waffles are not too sweet, fluffy on the inside and crispy where they need to be. We ordered a variety of items but my personal dish was the apple garden omelet. The egg whites were light and the ingredients were loaded and cooked well. The hash browns were crispy and lightly seasoned, making it perfect for those being conscious about sodium levels. The half waffle I got with it was crispy, yet soft and supple enough to soak up some maple syrup with each bite. Flavors were great, portions were just right, and textures were on point! The service is fantastic - Nadia helped us on this visit and she was great taking care of us. She made our first time here a great experience! After you finish your meal, consider ringing the bell to let the staff know how much you enjoyed your time here. Overall, Country Waffles is a great breakfast destination for those looking for some classic dishes at great value served by community-centered folks. The food quality is consistent, service is reliable, and prices are affordable. You won't see huge crowds here during peak hours like the big chains and you'll get, in my opinion, better food. If you're looking for an alternative to breakfast and brunch, consider visiting this local kitchen and grab a plate of their namesake waffles!

The staff were all very nice, and were fairly quick with preparing our food. I LOVED the salsa bar, all of their salsas were delicious (and I appreciated that I could help myself to as much as I want). I also got the Guava Pancakes and 100 Chilis Benny (sub bacon for chorizo), and both were delicious. The coffee drinks I got were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The prices are a bit higher, but you get large portions fwiw. Overall this is a great breakfast/brunch spot, and I'd highly recommend it if you're in the area.

And the coulotte steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and just really well done overall. Definitely a great little brunch spot if you're in the area.

Big portion and also came with a small fruit bowl. My friend and I finished our whole plate. The waitress came a few times to check on us. Parking was easy, since they have a parking lot.

I wish zero stars was an option…read more Very disappointed with the service. I ordered breakfast through DoorDash and my order arrived incomplete. When I called the restaurant to speak with a manager, I was told there was no manager available and that I should either "take it up with DoorDash" or come pick up the missing items myself. If I was able to go pick up the order, I wouldn't have paid extra to have it delivered through DoorDash in the first place. Mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability and poor customer service was unacceptable.

We were sat right away, waters placed in front of us and we were asked if we want coffee right away. Within a minute we were sipping on hot coffee that was decent for dinner coffee. For our food: My partner ordered the Eggs Benedict with hash browns. She said it isn't the best she has ever had, it's a close second. They give a thick slice of Canadian back, the sauce was a tad bit salty, but overall really good. I ordered to the eggs, bacon, home potatoes, and Toast: the gave like 5 thick sliced of bacon. My eggs were cooked the way I like them. The home potatoes were so good, crispy and cooked all the way. It was exactly what I was craving. When going to get breakfast at a restaurant, I believe pancakes for the table to share is a must. So we ordered the short stack, which is 2 pancakes. These were the best pancakes I've ever had. Thick and fluffy but light and airy. They melt in your mouth. This is my new go to spot when I get that craving for a restaurant style breakfast.

The restaurant itself is in a nice plaza with plenty of parking, the restaurant is clean and looks like they had bar seating as well. On their special menu they had their strawberry matcha which I'm already a fan of, but this strawberry matcha is my favorite in all the area so far. The avocado toast was also very good, the red onion on top paired well with the avocado and cherry tomato, the fact it came with 2 eggs as well also justifies it as a meal in itself. I also ordered the half order or at this restaurant "fun" size I think Is what it said on the menu, of the tres leches French toast. It's also my favorite French toast because it's not overly sweet like some other tres leches' that I've had, the strawberries tasted very fresh too. The side sausage and bacon were good also however, the side link sausage it's not as greasy or salty as other places which I enjoyed a lot, because although it seems like hearty food it didn't feel heavy at all. Hope that Breeze Cafe stays around, bring everyone here. TLDR; awesome food, great service, try the strawberry matcha, and tres leches French toast
