    Brunch burger with waffle which
    Cimone S.

    Daughters and I took on another opportunity to patronize a new spot here in the city we went with the waffle bus and I'm sooooo glad we did !!! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious the stormy sauce on the brunch burger was delicious. You place your own order there are about 3 kiosks and can substitute any burger bun with a waffle which is what I did . My daughters both decided on sweet waffle sandwiches equally enjoyed their dishes !! We are already planning our return

    As this was my first time ordering you guys from Grubhub I wasn't expecting it to be as good as in person, but when I received my food it was cold and I noticed that there was a dead roach on the food container. I am completely disgusted and disappointed because I like you guys . The bag was SEALED so it did not come from the deliver drivers car or anywhere else .

    I always make sure to stop by this specific waffle bus when I'm coming into town from Austin. I really wish we had one here but 3 hours away is also fine. My order is always the hot chicken thunder fries with extra sauce. If I feel the sweet tooth creep up, I get the milk and cereal ice cream (cinnamon toast crunch) COME TO AUSTIN, TX WAFFLE BUS!!

    Service was prompt. I am vegan, and I can say the waffle fries are good. My flexitarian. Friend enjoyed the chicken sandwich A good option in the neighbourhood. There is plenty of parking easy in and out

    Those Hot Chicken Thunder Fries will make your day. I usually get the regular but the spicy ones are amazing!!!

    Food was delicious 10/10! I ordered the smash burger, fries and drink lunch combo with no onions, and my lunch date ordered the same but added an over easy egg and bacon to it. Let's just say we smashed our burgers lol. Service... well, it's self-service (I.e., you place your order via kiosk and they call you by name to pick up your food). Not much going on there. Ambiance overall was cool. My boyfriend really liked the decor and thought they were in a good location. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch date with my man at The Waffle Bus.

    FIRST REVIEW OF 2024!!! YAYY THINGS HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUT...I enjoyed The Waffle Bus! It's a very casual chill laid back spot to eat. The waffle bus is in a shared parking lot! Parking can be a little slim but still easy! There are plenty of options on the menu! Ordering is silent! In a funny way! You don't order with an employee it's just on the screen! It's less human reaction let's just say! Food is pretty good! The syrup with the waffles was light, sweet & yummy! The wings were at a perfect crisp! I wish I had more but my meal only came with 4 wings! Not to sure if they have like a 6 piece. I'll definitely return! I wouldn't say this place fully pulled me in but it's worth returning to.

    What a great experience! I saw Keith Lee review this place and this was on my bucket list for Houston. I decided to try the MacDaddy Biscuit. I didn't want the Mac n cheese but I was glad that they offered an option to put it on the side. They really should have just done a regular yellow cheese, it was not good at all and very disappointing. The very reason why I do not choose to order mac & cheese from restaurants. I also ordered the breakfast burger, but I chose to get that on a biscuit as well, I am so glad that I chose to make that customization because it made it feel more like breakfast. The onions were a nice touch the burger, a little bit of a sweet taste to it overall it was very scrumptious. I definitely recommend my only qualm was that the Patty was thin. Lastly, I ordered the small waffle fries. The waffle fries were just generic salted season fry. Nothing extraordinary in my opinion although they did come out really hot and fresh overall, I definitely recommend waffle bus the food was really delicious and I love all the customizations that they allow.

    HOUSTON, TX 77008 / CHICKEN, BRUNCH / 12-09-23 / TAKEOUT +The chicken quality is above par; very little to no cooked blood, which is great! +Pricing is great for what you get. +Made-to-order fresh. -Keith Lee approves. -The batter wasn't for me; too thick and dense. This goes for the chicken AND waffles. What we ordered: 1 wing and waffles $11.99 1 blueberry waffle $6.99 Total: $20.55 post-tax

    What a great burger spot! Came here the other weekend for a wedding, and this place did not disappoint. Atmosphere - 4/5 - Located next to Killer Noodle (which we also ate at), it is in a very busy, constructiony area. Inside, very spacious. The only knock is that you must order via a kiosk at the counter (cannot order with a person) Staff - 5/5 - You do not really engage with them other than grabbing your food. However, was friendly when I received my order and gave me my condiments with no issue. What we ordered: I wasn't able to order much, as we just ate Killer Noodle. I saw Chicken and Waffles, and just had to order something haha. Food - Hot Chicken Sandwich - 4.5/5 - Other than the size, but the sandwich itself is delicious. I wish I had gotten it spicier. Strawberry Irish Creme Brulee - 5/5 - Really enjoyed this! I do recommend as it is just a great size and taste. The custard was really good. Overall, I did enjoy this place, and will be back when I visit again.

    Hot Chicken Sandwich (Biscuit)
    Mariah T.

    Our friends invited us to join them for lunch at Waffle Bus. Been on my list to try and I'm glad we finally did. I couldn't decide what I wanted initially lol so many ways to eat that chicken I just couldn't decide. I ended up choosing the Hot Chicken Sandwich on a Biscuit. I couldn't have choose better for my first time. THAT BISCUIT WAS SOOOOO GOOD OH MY GOSH. Lol I love bread y'all, that biscuit was so soft and buttery. I love how big it was too, enough to hold together while taking a bite. Great chicken to biscuit ratio. The hot chicken is seasoned very well with a nice kick, I really enjoyed it. The waffle fries bomb too. It was a fun time, chill environment, great meal. I did try a cereal ice cream shake too, it was just alright. Wasn't really my thing but I'm glad I tried it. I could've done without that part after the biscuit. Maybe next time I'll do the Nutella banana waffle for a sweet after

    I'm glad we have Ike's Love & Sandwiches all the from San Francisco in Houston and wouldn't mind…read morehaving more locations in town. This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

    Here's a polished Google review version that keeps it honest but ends strong:…read more Review: I've been an occasional customer since this place first opened. Honestly, in the beginning it was pretty rough, slow service, incorrect orders, and the sandwiches just weren't as good as what I was used to getting in California. That said, I kept coming back every now and then hoping things would improve, and I'm glad I did. My last few visits have been great. The sandwiches have been fresh and really tasty, and the customer service has been solid. I also spoke with Jose, and he mentioned he's been working hard to turn things around, and it definitely shows. Not sure why they don't have more locations yet, but I hope they expand soon!

I asked our server a couple questions about some of the dishes and was met with Irritation and rudeness and comments like, "of course there is cream in the mashed potatoes, it's mashed potatoes!" I was also told that the green beans were "just fried in a little bit of olive oil", yet they came out on my plate in a brown sauce. Hmm. Our server seemed to be very nice to a couple tables around us but not so much with us. She also appeared to be the only staff person in the restaurant out on the floor. I overheard other people calling her Shandy and it turned out she was the owner! I was appalled! As a female, I'm passionate about supporting other females and women-owned businesses, especially minority women. But I do expect a certain level of professionalism and to be treated with respect. I didn't find that at Shandy's :( My mom provided feedback to the owner after our meal and the owner indicated to my mom that my mom was the only person to ever give her this type of feedback. After reading other reviews, it appears that I am not the only one who has been made to feel this way.

Now, I thought I could just stop by and grab my order in about five minutes... that was not the case. It took well over 30 minutes. However, I do want to recognize the customer service, especially the gentleman in the red shirt who was running the cash wrap. He was very attentive and made sure orders were moving and getting out to customers. When I followed up on my order (about 20+ minutes in), he let me know there were about 9-10 subs ahead of mine due to a lot of online orders. Once I got my food, I thanked him and let him know next time I'll definitely be ordering online. If you're planning to grab lunch and not dine in, I highly recommend ordering ahead to save time. Now, the food... the sub was 10/10 amazing. I got the Jamaican Red Buffalo Chicken. Highly recommend. The only thing I want to point out is there was a guy working with bell peppers who came to the front line and started handling food for customers. He had on gloves and headphones, but when a customer asked him a question, he used his gloved hand to move his headphones, then went right back to handling food without changing gloves. Other than that, I'll definitely be back!!!!
