The restaurant was very clean and had such a cozy, welcoming vibe, making it the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a great breakfast. I ordered the Lumberjack, and everything came out great. The eggs were cooked perfectly and placed on top of the mashed potatoes--not cooked together--but honestly, it still worked really well and tasted amazing. One thing I really liked is that you can sub the biscuit for French toast or pancakes. I chose the French toast, but the Lumberjack is so much food that it was honestly hard to even get to it . Everything was delicious, and I'd give this place a 10 out of 10--I'll definitely be back. Shoutout to our waitress Sienna, who was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, recommended a bunch of great options, and made deciding easy. She checked on us often and even brought out a new syrup they make for us to try, which was so good. This place will definitely be seeing more of me!

Is this place for real? Bill was $50.00…read more Server was Sarah. She was fine. But I asked her how the "smash burger" was - she over sold it needless to say. But good for her for getting a sale. Here is what we got; $14.00 Waffles - not fully cooked and straight out of a box- not fresh- hard parts throughout from freezer burn. 2 slices of bacon (this was fine) "smash burger" is NOT A SMASH BURGER AT ALL. Patty's are also frozen from a box and a traditional smash burger is paper thin- not 1/2 thick. And it was not fresh- definitely a frozen patty. Fries were not crispy. $50.00 bill for boxed freezer burn food. Save your money - go somewhere else!

I ordered the poblano burger with tots. The burger patties are hand made and the sauces are as well. On my burger, the mago chili jam was a fantastic compliment to the roasted poblano chili. The brioche burger buns were extremely soft and pillowy. I don't know what they season the tots with, but it's so dang good! The server brought one of the chefs specialities- cheesy grits. Oh. My. Goodness. This was warm, cheesy, delight whipped up in a bowl. Order it, it's delicious!

This was by far the best waffle I have ever had -- and I say that as someone who travels often,…read moreboth internationally and across the States. Crisp Waffles completely exceeded my expectations. The waffles were fresh, hot, soft, and moist on the inside. Todi, the owner, was warm and personable. She even explained the difference between authentic Belgian waffles and the versions we're used to in the U.S., which made the visit even more special. My favorite was the Strawberry Extreme. I swapped syrup for a drizzle of hot honey, and with the Nutella on top, it was sweet, balanced, and unforgettable. I also tried the waffle sandwich and the chicken and waffles, both of which were outstanding. If you're ever in St. Pete or the Bay Area and want a homey, comforting breakfast -- sweet or savory --Crisp Waffles is the place. They also offer açai bowls, smoothies, ice cream, and more. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and relaxing, which impressed me just as much as the food. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm craving a truly exceptional waffle.

The counter service is always friendly, and they patiently waited while I picked out the Aloha Beaches Bowl from their selection of four acai bowls. You never feel rushed to order quickly here, and it's always pretty quiet and chill inside, with a few people sprinkled throughout working on their laptops. I should add here that I'm a big fan of acai bowls, and I've tried so many throughout the Tampa Bay Area and beyond over the past few years. And while the Aloha Beaches Bowl didn't disappoint - the fruit was fresh and the frozen acai was just the right texture - the price for the size of the bowl was a bit high compared to what you can get at other yummy acai spots like Grain & Berry or Soho Juice Co., where you have many more options available.

Exceptional Service from Teek…read more It has been a long time since I've had a waitress as outstanding as Teek. From the moment she greeted our table, she brought genuine warmth, professionalism, and an effortless sense of hospitality. She struck that perfect balance of being attentive without ever hovering, and she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. What truly set her apart was the way she made every interaction feel personal. Her menu knowledge, her timing, and her upbeat energy elevated the entire experience. Even while managing multiple tables, she made us feel like we were her top priority. Service like this is rare. Teek is a standout -- the kind of person who turns a simple meal into a memorable one. Any restaurant would be lucky to have her, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

We enjoyed the Fried Chicken and Waffles, which were generous enough for two. The ambiance was lively with many happy diners.

Owners/Brewers Jordan Copher, Tyler Sankey, and Nick Streeter really made something special here off Cass Street. Chef Nathan Hardin's menu is quite delicious too! We had the Spicy Pimento to start: Spreadable Cheese using Habanero Cheddar served with Fried Saltines. We also had the Classic Boi and Deluxe Boi double with Waffle Fries. The smash burger is unreal! Great flavor, cheesy, awesome sauce, solid skirt... everything you could want in a double smashie! Beers: - Encore Light Lager 4.5% - Markle's Sparkle Grapefruit Sour 4.5% There is a beautiful patio out to the side of the building and out front. You can belly up at the bar or dine and drink inside too! They offer event space rentals and catering as well! Breakfast and coffee start being served at 8am!

Overall, I'm very happy that this place is at Armature Works…read more I like to try to eat healthy when I'm out and about and also eat high protein, I found my options at Armature Works is kind of limited based on these two criteria. I'm glad Graze exists, because I feel like they have quite a few options that meet what I'm looking for. This time I got a kale Caesar with blackened Ahi tuna on it. The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans. What would have made this five stars is if it had less sauce, so next time I might ask for the dressing on the side so I can control putting it on myself. I appreciate that they text you when your order is ready so you can walk around, I was able to go back to my table and sit with the family until my order was ready. Some of the stalls do not open until 11 AM, but Graze opens before that, probably because they have breakfast options. If you're looking for a healthy place at Armature Works, I would highly recommend here.

I also tried the yams and collard greens, which were also good. I got the peach cobbler to go, and I wasn't a fan.
