    Mixed Berry Waffle with Sausage and Eggs
    Gino W.

    While visiting family in Rochester, my niece mentioned The Waffle Factory as an option for breakfast. It's a house that has been converted into a restaurant. Because of COVID, there was outside seating. I was okay with that. The ordering was swift, but the breakfast took some time to arrive. At least I knew it wasn't microwaved and ready in under 5 minutes. Plus, the texture was not microwaved tough. I had the banana and caramel waffle with scrambled eggs. The waffle came topped with a heaping of bananas and a caramel drizzle, but underneath that the waffle had been drizzled with a glaze that reminded me of cinnamon role glaze. A friend had mixed berry waffle that didn't require syrup because of the cinnamon role glaze. My niece had the moon cakes that were topped with what looked like chocolate and Nutella. I get the hype. I do. Whenever I get back to Rochester, The Waffle Factory will definitely be an option for breakfast.

    Absolutely amazing waffles! Very unique waffle experience with a much thicker doughy batter that's delicious. Also, they have fresh squeezed orange juice! You have to try it out!

    Really delicious waffles at a cute spot in Webster! The waffles with fruit are usually loaded with fruit which I really appreciate. It is quite small inside and sometimes difficult to find a seat.

    2 stars for online ordering, 6 stars for the food. Grubhub, Venemo and PayPal didn't work as payment options and I'm petty sure AMX is not acceptable seeing as I couldn't place my order with that being my primary payment. Very frustrating and annoying process that took me 20 minutes longer then it should have. The walfels were PHENOMENAL! Light think and fluffy exactly how you would want it. Bacon was perfectly cooked and we were surprised with a sausage pattie even tho the website said they were unavailable (not a complaint). The over easy egg was excellent! Decadent tasting food and a must have!

    I ordered a Sausage Benedict waffle and it came out with bacon. I told a worker about the error and they quickly fixed it. Unfortunately the meal was still not great. Sooooo much hollandaise sauce on top it was like I got a bowl of soup, yolk was broken, and the sweet waffle didn't pair well with the rest of the food. Whipped ice coffee and the vibe of the place was great though.

    12. Apple Pie Waffle
    Brenda O.

    This place is awesome! This is the second time I've been here. The first time I ordered the cinnamon roll waffle (Delicious) and this time I got the apple pie waffle. Omg! So Good! The waffle was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It's was topped with warm apple pie filling and buttery graham cracker cookie pieces . I got a side of vanilla ice cream, it had real vanilla bean in it. I ate the ice cream with each bite I took and it was Amazing. My daughter got the Strawtella waffle with raspberries added, it was a waffle with fresh strawberries and raspberries on it then Nutella drizzled all over it. I can't wait to go back!

    This place is awesome. I ordered the below and was not disappointed. The Waffles have caramelized crisp edges and they are thick enough to pile on other flavors without getting soggy. The Home fries are crispy potato wedgies that are soft in the middle and covered in herbs. The moon pie is HUGE and thick, it's more than enough for two people. The Bacon is cooked perfectly, crispy but bendy.

    BBQ pulled pork waffle w/ an egg
    Sarah S.

    Came again and did takeout. Everything was flawless and delicious. I got the route 250 this time and even though it looked a bit plain at first, it was far from it. The cheese, plus the flavor of the waffle.... I live so close that I'm going to to be coming here way too often. And I'm going to get super fat. :( My boyfriend is 6'4" and does not fill easily. He got the pulled pork, which had so much meat that it filled him right up. Honestly, I'm just looking for excuses to come here again whenever I'm free.

    Sooo many waffle combinations to choose from ! Both my faves together on a Belgian waffle Def will be back next time I'm in town

    Benedict, Nutella and banana
    Marissa N.

    I wouldn't recommend the waffles with the savory toppings cause of the inherent sweetness of the waffle. Small location with tight quarters. It was difficult to walk through to the bathroom. If you want sweet on top of sweet and a drink of sweet it's the place to be.

    Let me just start off by saying how amazed I am by the variety....literally there are over 50 different versions to eat your waffle. It was so hard for me to choose! And it's the cutest little spot ever. I got the RASBOREO'S which had generous amounts of raspberries, strawberries, and Oreos on top of a Belgian waffle (which btw was a great size). I added vanilla ice cream and to me, that was such an amazing combo ($10 total, $2 from the ice cream). Pictures don't do it justice, but that waffle was pretty big! It didn't taste too sweet or play-dough like, which I get from some waffle spots unfortunately. But they are definitely doing it right here! My sister got a side of BACON for an additional $2.99. We did not expect anymore than 3 pieces because it be like that these days lol but we actually got a fair amount with a lot of meat (again, pics do not do it justice!). They have a crazy selection of shakes too that are pretty sweet so I recommend sharing. Doesn't feel like a complete visit without getting one to try! BOTTOM LINE is that this place is good and fairly priced for the amount you're getting. I love the set up here where you pay first, then get seated once there's a table open. It makes it so much more efficient! It's not too big but holds plentiful of tables. I went close to an hour after they opened, which beat the crowd and I only waited an overall 10 minutes after ordering!

    Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
    Samantha C.

    45 minutes to get a waffle, very small and uncomfortable quarters, loud teenagers. I was really excited to come here thinking that maybe they'd made some improvements since the last time I came right after they opened. I'm sorry to say nothing has changed. But the food is good. The waffles are very sweet and filling and they have a variety of sweet and savory toppings to choose from. I got the Benedict waffle. The hollandaise is delicious and homemade and eggs were cooked perfectly. The ham is very thinly sliced and would be nice if it was a bit meatier. The fresh squeeze orange juice is great. I'd like to try different waffles but I won't stuff myself into that crammed building. Good thing they're on Grubhub! Probably why our order took 45 minutes.

    Can we bring our own wine?

    No you can't. But you can buy drinks there! I'm not too sure if they have alcohol there. From when I was there I didn't see anything alcohol related

    Gluten free options?

    Sorry Norm. I don't know

    Are you able to get any besides waffles here? Going here with friends for a dinner in a couple of weeks and I don't eat waffles lol?

    Hi, we do have eggs bacon and sausage, omelettes . We make authentic brioche dough waffles. Very different than diner waffle's...

    This is my second time trying Mama Lor's since we have moved to the area, I've been underwhelmed…read moreboth times. I have ordered two different omelettes on two different occasions now: an egg white with spinach and mushroom and a meat lovers. Both were quite overcooked and the meat lovers seemed like a thin sheet of egg that they filled with toppings later on like a crepe. Additionally the meat lovers side of rye toast was obviously burnt but still served to me, I just ate around it for a few bites and gave up. My husband ordered fish and chips the first time - I thought the batter was tasty and enjoyed it though I think the filleting of the actual fish could have been a lot cleaner. This item is the only reason my review is not a one star, I thought it tasted good. The second time he ordered clam chowder and a salad that had chicken, fruit, nuts. The salad was fine nothing wrong but not a stand out either it seemed similar to something I'd get as a salad kit from the store. The clam chowder though was awful, so thick and gelatinous it seemed like it was canned which is already a red flag but one of those canned soups that you're supposed to add water to and like they forgot to do that part. On top of being weirdly thick it was also cold you can tell they didn't heat it thoroughly whether that was in a microwave or not though I can't really tell. I truly don't understand the hype or reviews for this restaurant given we've tried multiple items and for the most part fell flat with the sole exception of the fried fish. I was disappointed given the expectation from other reviews and unfortunately we won't be back for a third try.

    I went in with reasonable expectations, this is perfectly acceptable, edible, I'd eat here again…read morefood. There's lots of parking. I was actually surprised how large it is inside. I met a friend I haven't seen in probably nearly 17 years for lunch on a Friday. We never felt rushed or pressured to hurry up. I didn't notice much of a wait but it was nearly always full. A good indication of quality. When you first walk in there's a dessert case and they all looked tasty. I knew I was in a good place. They serve breakfast all the time. Score. I had a Swiss cheese omelet I requested it well done because I don't like it runny or slimy-it still was and that's really why I didn't give a 5. I didn't want to be a pain and send it back so I dealt with it. I ate the whole thing, I just wish it hasnt been undercooked. I got the breakfast potatoes. They are exactly perfect the way I like them, some bits nice and crispy and other bits soft but cooked through. (I'm going to come here again because of the potatoes). I had a grilled hard roll and coffee. They offer flavored creamers which I like. My friend got ham and two eggs but added a third with toast. She liked her food as well. I got two slices of rainbow cake to go. Let me tell you-it was fantastic. My mom and I both liked it a lot except this is going to be oddly specific, the blue and green layers, the frosting on the back of them has something EXTREMELY crunchy in the frosting. It felt like those little hard decoration balls and they were very unpleasant. My mother also commented about something crunchy in the frosting so she didn't care for it either. Another reason I didn't go full 5 on my review. The frosting on the other layers up was fine. It was really tasty. The cake was moist and not dried out. I noticed it was pretty popular. The service was good. It was really busy and we tried to flag our server down a few times and she didn't see me and that's okay we were there for two hours and she had a large section and like I said we weren't exactly campers but we were catching up and we weren't her priority and this is perfectly acceptable. Both my friend and I having been in the food industry for over 20 years completely understood. Our needs were never not met. We had what we needed and didn't have to wait long on refills on drinks ever. We will meet again there since we both had a very positive first time experience.,
