Had a family breakfast here last week after my wife found them on a whim and the place looked too interesting not to try. Was deceivingly large inside and a bit non-traditional with the seating and ordering and serving but good for them making the space work. We ordered four different waffles and split them all. All were great, but I think we all enjoyed the one we'd picked the most (s'mores for me). Whipped cream had a very thick texture to it and I really enjoyed it. I think my only knock was we showed up around 9:30 and it was not very busy and it took awhile to get served. Not painfully long, but longer than expected. By the time we left, there were a lot more tables sat and a huge line at the ordering counter, so I can only assume that those people would have waited a very long time for their meals. Would definitely come back in the future. read more

My sister felt like eating pancakes for breakfast today so we went to The Sloppy Waffle this morning - absolutely delicious!! My sister had the apple cobbler liege waffle and I had the yogurt fruit filled pancake. Sophia's service was friendly and quick. The ambience was clean, and cozy. Lucy, the owner, was also very friendly. I look forward to going back! read more

Driving through and looked up the closest breakfast spot and this was it and so happy it was!!! We got the apple cobbler liege waffle, the blueberry pancake and the two egg plate scrambled with cheese, home fries, crispy bacon and homemade bread. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious! The fruit compote was homemade and real fruit, so dang good! The pancake was huge!!! And the bread made in house was especially yummy!! We saw others get the chicken and waffles and the pancake roll and those looked absolutely amazing too and we could hear them raving! It appears to be a women-owned small business so that made my heart especially happy too! A read more

The Sloppy Waffle - Blueberry Pancake, Apple Cobbler Waffles, Two Eggs - Belgian Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

Such a great "hole in the wall" place! The ordering area is small, but they have a back room for dine in that is quite large. You order at the front and they bring your order to you. The food is incredible! Large portions, full of flavor. There's no way you'll leave here unsatisfied. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the full breakfast gives you some of everything. A heaping playe of fried breakfast potatoes, bacon, eggs, toast AND a side of waffle - what could be better!?! read more

Friendly people. Interior was calm. The food missed the mark. Scrambled eggs were good. Some home fries were hot, while others were cold, and undercooked. The waffle felt like wet batter in the center. Minutes after eating I wasn't feeling well. read more

We stopped here as a midway point on our roadtrip and were so happy we did! This place is Amazing!! Everything is homemade, organic and cooked with love! We got the Louie Special, which comes with 2 eggs, homemade toast, home fries, choice of a mini waffle or pancake and choice of bacon or sausage. Everything was spectacular. My boyfriend upgraded to the pumpkin pie waffles for an extra $3 and they were unbelievable! Go here if you can! read more

Couldn't come here and not try the signature Sloppy Waffle dish. The waffle batter is definitely Belgium style, sweet and a little more dense than regular waffles. The chicken sandwich was on the sweeter side since the batter is sweetened. The food was delicious and coffee was on point. The ONLY downfall is brunch cost $37 for a chicken sandwich, a breakfast plate and two drinks. *Menu prices are WRONG, so there was an additional $10 unexpected due to the discrepancy. read more

Best waffle I've ever had and nice cozy dinning area. I think it's overprice because all this cost about 30$ but I will be coming back.

I've been coming here for years. The atmosphere is cool. The owners and employees are awesome and friendly. The food is amazing and delicious. So many cool options and def a treat if you have kids. They do accept credit cards now but also give a discount if you pay with cash. They give a military and first responder discount as well. read more

I am so sad to be writing this review. I LOVED coming here years ago and just went for the first time in a few years, and to say that everything was deeply disappointing would be an understatement. All elements of service or coziness are gone. The stoneware mugs have been replaced by paper to-go cups. The plates are plastic. The silverware is brought in parchment sleeves. All sauces are in tiny disposable containers. The coffee billed as imported from Puerto Rico was truly delicious in years past- the coffee I just had there today ranks substantially below McDonald's coffee. The scrambled eggs were rubbery on the verge of inedible. The waffles were deflated, flat, and bland. The home fries came out cold and unseasoned, in chunks large enough to be a quartered potato. The ambiance was always sort of bare-bones, but there was a warmth to the place that is gone. It felt like a food court experience, as if everything is prepared to go. This place has gone wayyy downhill, and I'm so upset by the contrast with how great it once was. I definitely won't be back. read more

This was my first time there and just know, you order and pay up front then sit down. We got seated but no one told us to order up front so we sat for way too long waiting for a server to come by. The young man apologized and was very kind about it. I ordered their staple, chicken and waffles. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and it was so good!! Highly recommend going there! read more

Went to sloppy waffles for breakfast for the 1st time and was highly disappointed, the food was disgusting, plain disgusting, the chicken and waffles taste like it just came out the freezer and slapped the batter on, the eggs taste fake, the presentation was also very disappointing, I eat out a lot, this is the worst food I have had in a very long time, the servers was very nice and attentive, and for the price point the ambiance was not appealing at all even though I understand the concept. read more

I have been wanting to go to this spot for years and finally went, and it was totally worth it! I got the spicy chicken and waffles. They make their own bread and use it for the chicken, it has a great flavor and doesn't feel too greasy or heavy. The waffle was just the right amount of food too, not over bearing or anything. The eggs were cooked perfect and had good flavor and the hot sauce was a great addition. Everyone here is super nice and makes you feel like you are having a family breakfast. The way the spot is decorated like a house. You feel welcome and invited in. read more

The Sloppy Waffle - Sloppy Hot Chicken and Waffles - Belgian Near Me - Newington, Connecticut

Came here on a Friday morning for brunch and almost left due to the entrance being hidden around the side of the building - their front door was locked which threw us off, but someone was nice enough to tell us where the real door was. We were seated quite quickly and the staff was super friendly and nice. The inside was very quaint a felt pretty homey - there were a few other parties there as well, but it didn't feel too too busy. We placed our orders at the front and our food didn't take too long to come out. The chicken and waffles was pretty large for its price which I thought made it a good deal. It tasted yummy as well! The chicken was probably the best part - the waffle was a little underwhelming due to it being a little soggy. The lemon pie waffle was delicious taste wise, but in size it felt a little disappointing. Overall, a very solid brunch spot with good options and diversity in their menu with a taste to match. Their staff made for a nice experience. Thanks Sloppy Waffle! read more

If you're looking for a casual dining breakfast with a side of extra sweetness then you want to come to this location. They offer delicious waffles that come with a variety of flavored toppings. When I went I got something I thought would be more on the simpler side but you'll want to ask for extra syrup. The waffles are thick so you need enough syrup to coat it nicely. read more

Some people gravitate to sweet breakfast items. I generally prefer savory. Today, I was in the mood for something different and ordered a S'mores Belgian Liege waffle at Sloppy Waffle ("SW"). I hadn't been to SW for years. Service was friendly today, but the ordering and food delivery system seemed convoluted. I planned to eat outside and I walked inside to order at the register, but I was given a menu and a table outside. I was told to come back inside when I knew what I wanted. I did that and the food was later brought to my table. I don't need a full sit down experience. But, even if I could have just selected a table after I ordered, which is what happens at places like Hartford Baking Co. or Riley's Hot Dogs, that would have streamlined the process. In any event, although I prefer savory breakfast items, I have to respect the S'mores waffle's full court press of stylish sweets. The waffle was topped with graham cracker crumbs, a whipped cream topping (that may have had marshmallow flavor) and chocolate squiggles. Every layer worked. 5 Stars for the waffle, but I'm giving 4 Stars overall for the awkward service setup. read more

The Sloppy Waffle gets good local reviews, and I guess I'm a bit perplexed. The waffles are good, don't get me wrong. I guess I just wasn't expecting to be seated, and then told to place my order at the counter. It's as if everything is made to-go in spite of the fact that they do have tables for indoor eating. Coffee is self-serve in paper cups and the waffles arrived on paper plates. The Bananas Foster was a tiny thing served in a paper box with five thin slices of banana, while the chicken and waffles was more substantial (but so was the price). The value here is lacking, I'm afraid. At least I can say I tried it. read more

I've been a patron of this restaurant since it opened for one reason- consistently excellent waffles and bacon. That changed about 4 years ago with COVID. And although I wanted to return, recent health issues have prevented me from doing so. I had 2 hips replaced about 2-3 years ago and am currently dealing with spinal stenosis. On a trip back from the VA on Friday, I decided to stop by and try to walk in. I made it about 2/3 of the way in the rain when the pain set in, and I started to walk like Tim Conway playing the old dentist on the Carol Burnett show. The owner saw me from inside, waddling in the rain like a duck on ice, and very kindly helped me into the restaurant, where she helped me to my seat and got me some paper towels to help me dry off and some hot tea to warm me up. I had a fantastic breakfast and when I left, the owner's husband, who doubles as a cook, took one of the umbrellas from an outside table, walked me to my car, and then brought my to go order out to me. I have relatives that don't treat me as well. I can't say enough good things about the food, or the people who work there. I've never seen a customer treated less than politely there and I've never had a bad breakfast there. Please go and support this restaurant so they can expand their hours of operation (they are currently only open Thursday- Sunday). You won't regret the strawberry waffles, they are very good. read more

Chicken and waffle is the best thing I had here. I think that is their best seller. Its a waffle topped with chicken and drizzled with maple syrup. Chocolate lover and Bananas Foster are also good. It comes with whipped cream which looks like a scoop of ice cream. Cafe con leche was an ok coffee. As other Yelpers mentioned, they are cash only and there is an ATM inside. There system of ordering is very confusing for the first timers. There is a counter in the front where you order food and take a seat. They bring it to the table. As people in the line try to decide and order, line can grow pretty long. In addition to taking the order, the lady in the counter try to make the coffee at the same time. Whole thing makes the line longer, and the folks standing behind very grumpy, especially the regular customers who look at you like "don't you even know that". Even the lady taking the order gets grumpy in a while. Essentially their ordering system is a psychology experiment, where you can see how ordinary men and women become extremely irritable when you make them stand in a line at a hangry state. I wish they change this ordering system to a regular table service system soon. read more

I really like the waffles here! I usually get bananas foster, and my husband usually gets one with chicken on it. They're delicious, and the side dishes (home fries etc) are also really good. Their ordering and queuing system is so weird. They take you to a table, but you just immediately get back up and stand in line (and the line is always LONG). I'm not clear on why they assign you to a table first. The restaurant often isn't very clean. Floor is often sticky, underneath the tables hasn't been swept, etc. I am definitely not a clean freak or a germophobe, so this isn't something I normally notice about restaurants, but it seems like they don't have enough staff to keep up with what a large place it is (they have three rooms full of seating). read more

They have taken the "service" out of food service...no waitress to take your order .. after being seated we were informed the prices were different then those printed on menu...We had to get up to order our food at the register . Food did come out quick , but the home fries were under cooked, crunchy and chunky . My omelet tasted great , my partners omelet had a funny after taste . Had to get our own coffee which was in a different part of the restaurant.. Lastly price was 38.00 for 2 omelets and two drinks. Just not for us ... not worth the price... read more

I'm shocked with the reviews about the rude service- the reason why I am writing a review to begin with was how nice everyone seemed to be! The woman who greeted us seemed so excited when we told her it was our first time here and told us about the food and how we order. My sister ordered the apple cobbler waffle and I had the classic waffle with home fries. Both were exceptional and so tasty! Price is a little steep for a small waffle but it's pretty good so I give them that! They use home made dough to make the waffles not batter which is pretty interesting! The home fries were delicious as well! Glad to have sloppy waffle in town! Hopefully I don't encounter any rude service (according to other yelp reviews) next time we come because our service this time was great! read more

This is the saddest review I've ever had to write. This used to be one of my favorite places to eat. I moved out of town about 40 minutes away, so I haven't been in some time. Happened to be in the area for a friends appt, and we stopped for breakfast. I was so excited. The service was fine, nothing extraordinary. The guy at the counter was nice. We ordered our food. My 4 year old is obsessed with pancakes, and I had my friend really excited for the food. The food comes out and it does not look appetizing at all. Served on cheap paper plates and paper baskets. My son's pancake was flat, no fluffy texture. He took one bite and that was it he didn't like it. My friend is polite and said "it's fine," but she barely ate any of it. That crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside was no longer there. I got the sloppy waffle and it was not the same. Didn't look nearly as appetizing as it used to and just kind of bland. I don't know if the original owner told it or something but I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it any more. So sad because it used to be so good. read more

First time I've been here in 6 years. On a Sunday afternoon it was crazy busy with so many pick-up orders and a few seated customers that came in while I waited for my own pick-up order. It was impossible to keep up with the amount of orders being placed. The staff did a great job managing it though and made sure not to miss anyone new that walked in when there were so many people inside waiting that it's easy to miss someone. They were very nice and thanked us for our patience. It looked so stressful, I hope the pay is worth it or perhaps they can get a bit of a $bonus$ because, UGH. The food was what I expected based on the great reviews I've heard through word of mouth. Ordered the Sloppy Waffle and it was indeed very sloppy. Waffle was delicious, eggs were perfect (ordered medium). Next time I'll ask for crispier home fries though. I live 5 minutes away, so I can see myself coming more often in the future. I basically finished my food before writing this. I forgot to take a picture. read more

I had the Bananas Foster waffle. Flavor was good. Waffle was chewy , barely any bananas, and hard to cut especially with plastic ware provided. Don't go starving because it's only a piece of a waffle. Barely a half. Kind of pricey for a piece of waffle. My husband had the blueberry waffle with the tiniest blueberries we've ever seen. We were excited to try something new. The ordering system was a little strange as well!! Sadly, we were disappointed. read more

Good wasn't tasty at all, thought it would be good, poor service, bad tasting food . Don't waste your time

I stopped in here with my friend for some outdoor breakfast and omgosh the coffee that they serve here is incredible. I went with eggs and my friend Adel definitely went with a sloppy waffle. It was pretty good tasting, and I'd definitively be willing to come back, the pricing though was a bit high for what we got. read more

This review is a couple months late because life gets in the way but... The food was pretty good, but the price was a little exorbitant for the amount of food provided. I had gotten a banana foster waffle and it was the tiniest thing, which was so disappointing for how good it was, although I do wish there were more bananas. The weird thing was how ordering and payment was performed. Given that we're in a pandemic, I really don't think it's appropriate to have patrons line up by the coffee carafes and other tables to place an order- not enough social distancing, and people tend to touch everything while they're waiting in line. I also don't think that having buffet style coffee carafes is really in the best interests and safety of the staff and clients... read more

Just not it. Let's start from when you walk in, no employee uniforms so staff just appears messy. When walking in you're escorted through a maze before being told where to sit in one of three crowded dining rooms. Finally as you order it seems the owner of the restaurant takes your order, she was nice but the pricing is where it gets you. My boyfriend and I ordered the spicy Jeff on a waffle which by the menu comes out to 12.99 each, affordable. We also ordered two cappuccinos which were great, priced on the menu for 2.34 each. Once it was time to pay our bill came to 46 dollars.. based off menu prices before tax 30.66 would be the total. When I asked about the pricing the woman just pointed to a note that says they've increased pricing and gave a receipt that was not itemized. 16 dollar increase?! Blows my mind, I enjoy supporting local businesses but this is outrageous. Let's talk about the food quality of my 46 dollar breakfast. The waffle was decent as well as the eggs but the chicken... hard, overcooked, and rubbery was hard to eat. The home fries are extremely overcooked to where they all fall apart with little to no seasoning. If the food was good quality I wouldn't mind spending a few extra bucks but the mess on paper plates was no less than mediocre. read more

Can't say enough goody hints about this place. Parking to the side and rear. The people who work there are so kind. Definitely my new hole-in-the-wall breakfast spot. I came with my siblings and my 10 month old baby. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the waffle, while petite was so filling and loaded with delicious apples and sweet syrup. The cafe con leche is such a treat! read more

Wow, what to say about this place other than the name isn't just a play on words. The chicken and waffle was oily, dense and the wrong flavor. It tasted like Italian breading smothered in a smoked Chipotle seasoning over a thick waffle that was gummy. The homefries were undercooked, mushy and were grasping at the same bad Chipotle seasoning as the chicken. The flavoring was not good and the paper plate it was served on didn't come with the ability to add extra condiments. 10/10 would not recommend. Also, the manager offered zero flexibility in seating despite the restaurant having three extensive rooms and being 75% empty. Who knew finding a table for two would be such a challenge. Not to mention her being unreasonably hard on her staff. read more

Drove the wrong way down the highway because I "knew' where I was going. Found it when I turned around like my passenger told me to! Glad I did find this great little place. The greeting was sincere and the menu was full. I was not full when I went in but am now. The Liege waffle is very different from what I am used to. It's very filling. The single order of a waffle with butter and syrup [no powdered sugar, please] looked mini but ended filling up my dining partner. I ordered the bacon waffle with two poached eggs on toast. What a plateful that was. The eggs were perfect and runny over the excellent toasted bread. The home fries were seasoned to perfection. The waffle covered in bacon and syrup was delicious. Definitely back for the other parts of the menu. read more
