    A Sweet Potato Waffle, "4" Eggs, 3 Turkey Sausage patties
    Warren A.

    Spent $31 here for a sweet potato waffle, 4 eggs, and 3 sausage patties -- and it was not worth it. The sausages were dry and hard, the eggs cost me $12 alone, and they even charged $2 just for the cup of water. For comparison, IHOP does 2 eggs for $2, while here it's $3 per egg. Served on a paper plate with plastic utensils, this definitely isn't a place I'd recommend for breakfast.

    This is really a hidden gem! They offer a variety of waffles but I cannot seem to order anything other that the original waffle and chicken. The chicken is always fried and seasoned perfectly and the waffle... oh my God!! Seems to always be cooked with love. I'm pretty sure the other waffles are just as good but you can never go wrong with the original. Also, don't forget to grab a cup of Kool aid, takes me back to my younger days. As a child, I used to always drink kool aid but now, it's a must when at the Waffle Den. This establishment was dine in prior to covid however, now it is drive thru only due to health risk of the owner/family.

    I mean... where shall I begin? From the moment I pulled up to order, I was greeted warmly by one of the sweetest ladies. She gave excellent customer service and made you feel "home". I gave my order and was impressed by how quickly and thoroughly they delivered my order to me (curbside). Upon arrival to home, I opened my package, it was even better than I expected!!! Yall! It blew me away! The food was so dang delicious that my inner big girl slapped five with Hulk. When I tell you that we are coming back. Honey! It's on... sorry to my gym goals in 2024.

    Honestly, this is maybe one of my best Chicken and waffles I have ever had. And that's saying a lot coming from me. The service was quick and easy. The waffles recipe is legit! They are fluffy, tasty and if I was starting a business I would franchise this whole model. This place is that good!! Oh, and def get the chicken glazed sauce. Thank me later!

    DIRTY...DIRTY...DIRTY!…read more I really wish I would have spent a few more dollars and stayed somewhere else. The hotel is disgustingly dirty to the point of health risk! The lobby seemed fine but once we entered the hallway we could instantly tell the staff, management and owner had given up on cleanliness. The halls were filthy, the carpets were torn and peeling from the floor, and see the pics for other blemishes. As for the room...the hallways were immaculate in comparison to the rooms. We always travel with Clorox wipes and after wiping blood, yuckiness and whatever else the spots, streaks and globs were from the high touch areas we new the room wasn't cleaned! There were half used toiletries in the room and previous guest dirty clothes. And while there weren't many guests, the hotel didn't have a clean room to move us to. Additionally, they didn't have clean towels. We had to use mini-towels. Not a huge deal but neither is doing laundry. The only reason I didn't rate the place 1-star is the front desk staff was pleasant and the place was inexpensive. It is my recommendation that you look for other accommodations. Additionally, if you check my Yelp profile, you'll see I rarely give a bad review. :-)

    Jimmy On Down Today…read morethis ol Chef decided to take a trip to get some breakfast. But not just any breakfast, we were seeking something with an elevated home style food menu, in a dinner like environment. That's what you get at this location. Keep reading. Upon arrival to the Killeen location, I immediately noticed how packed the parking lot was, with many more pulling up as we were. Normally this is where I'd turn around but I was curious to see how long this busy restaurant would seat us. The answer? No time at all. The hostess was warm, funny, and welcoming. She immediately engaged my children and gave them their menus as she led us to our booth. This place was BUSY. I'd expect an extended wait judging by the amount of people, but the team here seemed to not be bothered by the pace. Our waitress quickly surprised me, in the sweetest southern voice, with our drink requests. She was personal and very friendly when taking the children's drink requests. Kids change their minds a thousand times before they land on.....milk lol. No wait, chocolate milk lol. This is a test with any hospitality person, and she passed with flying colors. Extending both grace and patience as the kids finally placed their orders. As we waited for our drinks to arrive, I noticed how well this place was running. Being an open kitchen, you can observe everything from where we were seated. Every one was moving with a purpose. Back of the house was communicating orders, and constantly checking tickets and times. Servers were quickly moving out orders as they came up and keeping everyone's drinks topped off while serving smiles at each interaction. This should be the standard everywhere you go but if you're reading this, you know that's not always the case. Our food arrived rather quickly. Hot and properly prepared. I had the chicken broccoli egg white omelette with sweet peppercorn bacon. Don't knock it til you try it. I didn't think I would like the omelette but it's actually quite delicious. Not a single brown mark on my omelette showed me the cook knows how to control temp. The bacon though is always the star. The sticky sweetness in every bite, followed by a slight aromatic kick of crushed black peppercorn wrapped in the smokiness that is bacon. PERFECT side and app.My only issue was I ordered two sides of sweet peppercorn bacon, and was expecting them to be served as pictured, but because my waitress was on top of her game, she put them in as two sides instead of two appetizers. Saving me a few bucks. I call this excellence in hospitality and serving. If you made it this far you can tell we had an excellent experience on a very busy Saturday morning. Although I prefer to be less crowded places to dine, I absolutely see why this place is packed. Excellent food, excellent location, excellent service. So Jimmy on down and have you some Eggs. You and your family wont be disappointed. Chef J.

Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area and I'm certain we'll have a repeat visit this week. The french toast and chicken and waffles smelled and looked awesome.

This place's latte art caught my attention because that is definitely one of the crafts that distinguishes a coffee place, blurring the line between second and third-wave, in my opinion. I decided to give this place a try as it was more promising than anything I could find in the area. They had a good selection of drinks and standard drinks that you would find in any other coffee shop. I was also surprised to see that they also offered pourover options and had very good equipment, similar to the stuff I have at home in order to make it. This really piqued my interest. Unfortunately, the beans they had to make the pourovers or 4 to 6 months old, so I decided not to go with a pourover. Instead, I got a latte, which they actually did a beautiful job in terms of the latte art which told me that they knew how to properly get milk up to the right temperature and know how to layer the drink properly which gave me some hope. The latte was actually pretty good and I would actually come back for it. The people provided good service and were nice and patient . The ambiance was very basic and empty, with a lukewarm cafeteria-like design which made it feel like a first wave and was not pleasant. Other than that, I would called this a pretty solid hole in the wall that is worth checking out. 3.5/5
