My friend took me to the Portland location back in 2019. I loved the atmosphere of the place the moment we sat down to look at the menu. We ordered some coffee, and my friend highly recommended getting the Goat in the Headlights, so I did. Never, and I mean never, have I tasted a dish with a perfect clash of sweet and savory. It was so delicious! The eggs, avocado, basil, and cheese complemented the waffle so well. The wait time for the staff to check on us took a while, but they made up for it with kindness. I hope to go back one day. read more

I want to think maybe this was an off day service wise, maybe they were short staffed. Our food came out at all different times and twice when we went to fill up our coffee they were out and had to make more. The food was okay. Ambience was pretty average. read more

Off The Waffle - Chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

We have been coming here for years. We usually end up here once a week or so for the GOAT in the Headlights, which we love. But for the first time today we went rogue and tried Chef Angels new chicken and waffles. Amazing!! Perfectly seasoned, crunchy fried chicken on top of the always fabulous homemade waffles. The spiced maple syrup adds just the right amount of kick and together they make a perfect bite. And of course, the coffee is to die for Thank you Chef read more

Off The Waffle - Delish - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The waffle was good, but it was quite small for the price. It also took a while to come out. The lady at the till was sweet though! Seating was nice and cozy. Also, the place is kind of self serve, grab your own napkins, silverware, water, and buss your own table. No complaints there, just worth noting if you're planning to visit! Yummy waffles. read more

Very unique and great tasting waffles. Service is usually a little slow but all the waffles are made to order and so worth the wait. An excellent breakfast stop in Eugene read more

Loved the waffles. Loved the self-serve coffee. The staff was pleasant. Food came out quick. Eggs were done perfectly. It was game day in Eugene so seats started filling up quick. It's in downtown Eugene, so you get to deal with downtown Eugene problems. read more

Food was great as usual but the wait really wasn't worth it. I was told they it would take 30 min (which feels long for a waffle, egg and a couple slices of bacon) but it ended up being 55 min. Def won't be back unless it's a call ahead for to go. read more

Off The Waffle - The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Off the Waffle is a great spot for Liege style waffles! Many varieties to choose from! Sweet or savory!

The food here is always phenomenal. They have lots of different options to choose from and they're all great. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they have an adequate amount of workers. One order can take as long as 45 minutes even when the place isn't very busy. Once it seemed like the chef was the only person working- running back and forth from the register to the kitchen. The workers are plenty nice I just wish they'd hire more. Kinda feel bad for them. read more

Visited their booth at Country Fair recently. The waffles here are absolutely my favorite. They don't even really need syrup because they are made with a slightly sweet batter that caramelizes on the outside when cooked. It gives it a nice crispy, mildly sweet outer shell. My favorite thing to order is The Prophecy. It's a crispy Belgium waffle topped with a fried egg and two pieces of thick bacon. I like to order the syrup on the side and dip my bacon in it. I usually don't trust places to make a good fried egg but the ones here are always consistently good. read more

The food is great, but please turn Door Dash orders off when you're busy. The customers in the restaurant should be the top priority. A 45-50 minute wait for food is waaaay too long. read more

Great vibe in the place, it is cozy like you could sit the alone or with friends for hours. Good music playing in the background. Service was super friendly but kind of slow the day I went. But the food was great! Got the self fufiling prophecy and it was the perfect balance of sweet and savory with the waffle and the bacon and egg combo. read more

Love love this place! I come here every time I'm in Eugene. I like to get a savory and sweet waffle and split it with whoever I'm with.

They do not have enough staff to operate properly. As I type this Saturday morning, every single table in the restaurant has people sitting -- and literally no one has any food in front of them. We have been waiting for easily more than 30 minutes. People who were here before us are waiting. We used to come to Off the Waffle, both locations, a fair amount. But then we read concerning comments by former staff about the lack of hygiene in the kitchens and bad treatment by the owner. But today Glenwood a few doors down had a long wait. So we came here. By now we would have been finishing up at Glenwood. This is ridiculous. As I finish -- no food anywhere.

I wasn't a fan of this place, you order at the counter when you walk in and pay and tip before getting your food. They do bring your food out to your table but thats it. The food was fine there was nothing special about it, I probably wouldn't go back. read more

The waffle was DELICIOUS!! It was my first time trying a liege waffle and it was very yummy. I also like the flavor combination for this specific menu item. Cute location downtown. I will say, the service was subpar. When we arrived, there were 2 cashiers who did not greet us or say anything to us. We were waiting to order and they were just standing there randomly wiping the counter and talking to each other. We thought they might be waiting on something but nope! They just didn't want to be interrupted I guess. We finally ordered and sat down and the male cashier was making tik toks or taking "selfies" of himself (at the register!!!) the whole time we waited on our waffles. read more

Right when I walked I was great with a warm welcome. Great personality and that's what you need when it's early in the morning. I got the BMB it's the perfect amount of sweet and savory, it's topped with bacon and fresh basil and havarti cheese. I also a large glass of their fresh orange juice, a must try and coffee. read more

Off the Waffle bought some butter, but they said "this butter's bitter" "If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter." but they said "bozos won't know better" So they used the bitter butter and charged $60 bucks for bad breakfast. read more

There really is little to no point in placing an order online for pickup at this location. I recommend not going to this location at all, for that matter. On three separate occasions I have arrived shortly before the time of the order, been told it would take 15 minutes, proceeded to wait around 3 times that, all while being told it was almost ready. Meanwhile, I am watching people with orders I have confirmed had a later pickup than mine walk out the door (including orders that were substantially larger than mine). Lying to a customer's face when they can tell you are lying is just not a great way to run a business. The real kicker was when they realized they messed up and offered me a *free orange juice*, which at that point was more insulting than anything else. That cup of juice cost the business pennies and that is the gesture when they make a mistake? Jokes on me for always leaving a good tip, I guess. They truly do not have a good system to make sure they are actually providing adequate service to their customers, at all. It seems clear to me at this point that the issue is as much the way the business is run as it was the employees themselves, as this issue has happened repeatedly and I have witnessed it happen to others while I have waited. Ultimately, I will not be returning to this location and will be advising others not to do so. Go to the location in South Eugene where you can get the same great waffles, but with actually acceptable customer service that makes you feel like they *want* your business. read more

Such a great place for a fun twist on waffles- sweet and savory. So glad they're thriving in downtown Eugene. Shout out for supporting Centennial Elementary's fundraising with gift card donations. read more

Just finished a cold waffle at Off The Waffle they assured me it had just come off the griddle. Like I can't tell a fresh waffle from a reheated waffle. Not coming back here again. read more

If I'm being honest I absolutely love the food here. This used to be one of my favorite brunch spots in town and the liege waffles are probably some of the best you can get locally. The syrup is super flavorful & rich, the fruit used is always extremely fresh and the bacon and eggs are really top tier quality. But as much as I enjoy the food here, the overall decline in customer service in addition to pricing makes it hard to justify returning as often as I'd like. I've been here about nine times now and I typically spend $20 before tip for a single waffle (with Nutella, strawberries and bananas + one egg and two strips of bacon). This doesn't include any beverages, which places it as one of the more pricey breakfasts to get in town. I never mind paying for quality food and an awesome experience. However when you're paying those prices in an establishment where you're ordering at a counter, seating yourself, bussing your own table, and dealing with extremely long wait times all while the employees act like you're an inconvenience for being there seems ridiculous. This is definitely a place you go to enjoy the good food every now and then and not so much a place you'll become a regular at. read more

Off The Waffle - The BMB - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Overall, if you're in the mood to eat waffles and want something different about the batter, Off The Waffle offers a pretty decent selection of options. For the waffles here, the batter contains a certain type of sugar that gives it a distinct taste. Having tried the original liege waffle in Belgium, this place comes close to serving a "real" liege waffle. To really savor the distinct taste of the liege waffle, I highly recommend eating this waffle plain or with a hint of butter or little syrup. That way, you can really see the difference between the liege waffle vs normal waffle. Tried the liege waffle itself and it was pretty sweet. Didn't need much of the syrup or butter at all. I also paired my sweet waffle with a side of braised pork belly and this was so so delicious! Meat was tender and juicy and had the right amount of savoriness to balance out the sweet waffle. If you prefer toppings on your waffle, there are savory/in the middle/sweets options. My friends who had the savory option didn't taste much of the waffle for its sweetness, so keep in mind that the waffle taste can be drowned out by various toppings. Things to note: Plenty of tables in the shop. Water/utensils/etc are self served and overall, it's a pleasant place to have breakfast/brunch. read more

Only go if you have lots of time. They said our food would take 20 minutes, 45 minutes later still no food. They prioritize online orders.

What just happened??!! First time I've been to an Off the Waffle and this dish was amaZing!! This was a cherish every bite, enjoy the layers of flavors and don't share the dish next time! Who gets the last bite!! This was The BMB - Havarti melted over perfectly cooked bacon, warm maple syrup but not to much and the basil- wow! Staff was great, area clean and I think there was seating inside but we opted for the beautiful outdoors! Will absolutely be back! read more

The waffles are fantastic and the topping combinations work surprisingly well. The staff is great. They talked me through some of the options without making me feel stupid. I appreciated their thoughts. I look forward to my next visit. Also, the wait time wasn't bad at all. They had my order on the table in 5 to 10 minutes. read more

This place is always a treat! My GF attends UO and we almost always get breakfast the day i leave. Despite it being street parking we have never had problems finding close parking. Self serve bottomless coffee and water. Fresh squeezed OJ, and fast service and good seating. They also sell their waffles in packs for you to take home. Now for the 4 stars. I could not give the 5th only because the eggs are listed on the menu as defaulted cooked "sunny side up". But this is unfortunately very inconsistent. I have gotten them cooked differently every time, and not once altered my order. I would still highly recommend this restaurant, just dont be surprised with differently cooked eggs. read more

More like Awful Waffle.. I used to LOVE this place. The food is always amazing, and the service used to be top tier. However, over the past 6+ months, things have increasingly gotten worse. My partner and I just waited 45 minutes for our food to be served (which I would say is a bit long to wait, but I understand weekends are busy). When our food was finally delivered, one of the orders was wrong. We sent the order back, and requested a duplicate of my order. 20 minutes go by and nothing. I go inside to request a time on our order replacement. While I'm waiting for my turn in line, three other people in front of me were also there to complain about the wait time for their orders/replacement orders. One couple had waited one hour for their food, while people who had arrived after them had already eaten and left. Another one was a pick up order. She was told 10 minute wait, and then someone else told her 30 minute wait. They also attempted a handoff of a pickup order to the wrong person. Once I arrived to the front of the line to speak with the cashier, the man asked what I was waiting on. 25 minutes have gone by at this time since we sent the food back. He then tells me that my replacement order STILL was not ready. About 5 minutes later, I receive the food, and the order is AGAIN incorrect. I then request for a refund, as I begin to feel frustrated. The cashier then blames my partner on why the order was wrong. I have worked in food & bev many years of my life, and have never blamed an incorrect order on a customer. I was so frustrated I finally just requested a refund, which I also have never done. The cashier argued with me until I finally showed my anger. I also gave this person some constructive feedback on how to interact with unhappy guests of an establishment, as he continued to blame us on why our order was incorrect. Unfortunately, I won't be returning here. I don't believe that *everything* was the cashier's fault, but more so of a mismanaged restaurant. C'mon, DO BETTER! read more

Good waffles, a little pricey though and came dunked in maple syrup. They also sort of forgot our order and it wasn't even busy at the time. Bacon is thin compared to other places in town. read more

The best waffles I've ever had. If you like waffles go to Off the Waffle!!! They are an incredible texture. A little crunchy on the outside, tender and a bit eggy on the inside. They are not dense. And they are nothing like frozen cardboard waffles. Pearl sugar on the outside mares them sweet enough that I like them with no syrup. Fantastic. Also, great tea. Not regular teas. Something special. read more

I finally visited here few weeks back, after living in Eugene for a long time. I just never got to it, even though pretty much everyone I know, asked me to. But like they say, better late than never! You order the food at the counter, before picking a seat. I got the Wiffle, whereas my boyfriend got the Goat in Headlights and coffee. We waited for 10-15 mins and finally our food was served. It looked so good and tasted even better. I get the hype. If you are really into waffles, you will enjoy this place a lot. Reading their menu, I appreciated their creativity. I enjoyed the food a lot. Waffles tasted delicious and light and what's not to like about Nutella waffles anyways?! It is borderline on expensive side. However, their frozen waffle package might be the way to go for those worried about budget. read more

I wish I could give 5 stars, but we were let down by the long wait for food, and the waffle mocha was terrible. It was thin and tasted awful. We requested them to prepare a new waffle mocha, and it did not come after a lengthy 10-minute wait, and we left frustrated. The waffle flavor was unique and different. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more
