Y'all really can't step your game up, it's honestly sad that this place has gotten worse over time. My waffles made me sick and I barely ate 1/4 of it. If y'all can eat at this place and not feel sick afterwards go ahead and get the vaccine. read more

I don't get why people love this place, the home style potatoes were burnt and not seasoned, the pancakes were huge and hot but not the best, the bacon tasted old, I just wasn't impressed with any of it read more

This place is a true diner. Big portions and cheap prices. The decor reminds me of places from when I was a kid. The service is ok. They do check if you need coffee quite often and the coffee is good. The food is basic and ok and you get a ton of it. It's pretty good if your hungry and don't want to spend alot. read more

My family and I really enjoy this place. We've been here 3 times now in the last 6 months and service and food have stayed consistent. Service is very attentive, even when the wait appears to be long; we are seated in a timely manner, never have to wait for refills and food comes out fast. I love getting the country omelette because it is a huge portion. I can only eat about 1/3 of it, then i save the rest for later. It's just as good the second time around :) read more

Good food and great service. The waiter was very attentive and prompt. I will definitely be going back.

There should be a zero star option. We went in at 12:45 on a Wednesday. They weren't too busy, maybe 5 tables seated. We sat there waiting to order until 1:10 at which point we got up and left. read more

The SERVICE is worth 6 stars! Even when the place is packed on a weekend mid-morning, you get great service! Sometimes, you get better service when it's busy because it seems as though the management schedules the appropriate number or more servers than needed when they expect a crowd. I love that the servers all seem to enjoy their job & are all helpful even if they're not "your server" at the moment. My favorite waffle is the cherry-almond, but I ask for added chocolate drizzle over it. Sadly, I can't eat a breakfast of bacon, eggs & hash browns AND my waffle so I have to choose one or the other. If I go with the traditional breakfast, I ALWAYS go for the biscuits & gravy, extra crispy hash browns & over easy eggs. In 3 years of coming here I've never had a bad meal or bad service or an empty coffee cup! read more

Waffle Cafe - OMG! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manteca, California

Went here for breakfast this morning, stood by register and even though there were two waitresses neither acknowledged me so after continually waiting I turned around and left. Drove to Manley Moose but they were closed so I ended up at the Black Bear restaurant and had a fantastic breakfast! Great service great food and a fantastic waffle! I'll be back next time I'm in town but I'll never go back to the waffle cafe. read more

I took my class here on a field trip. I am a teacher of about 20 special needs students. The staff were extremely accommodating and made sure that my students were comfortable and had everything that they needed. They rearranged the tables so we could all sit together. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. The food was delicious and they got all all the orders correct. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Went here hoping it would be good, totally became my new fav place! Service was very fast , food was hot my waitress was on top of it!!

Wanted to try this place ever since my last bicycle ride through Manteca back in the Summer. Today was the day to try it out. 3 1/2 Stars. Waffle Combo (**** $6.95) Their Plain Waffle served with two Eggs, and your choice of four Bacon Strips, four Sausage Links, or Ham. A Golden Brown, six inch square Waffle, slightly crisp accompanied by two small glasses of warmed Syrup with a dab of Butter on top. I liked it that Waffle House divided the Waffle from the Eggs and Sausage Links... unlike Denny's and some other restaurants that assume Syrupy-Sweet Eggs are a delicacy. Pretty hefty, chubby Sausage Links. Note to Waffle House: Recounted to the wait-staff my experience at Table 260 in Elk Grove ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/table-260-elk-grove ), where their Waffles are enhanced by Warm Syrup AND melted Butter. Just a suggestion! full order Biscuits & Gravy (** 1/2 $4.45) Two Biscuits smothered in a Pork Sausage based White Gravy. I knew beforehand that the single Waffle was not enough. The waitress described the White Gravy as containing bits of Pork Sausage... it might have at one time or another, but not today. Not enough Gravy for the two Biscuits. Coffee (*** $1.79) Unlimited Refills. Service (*** 1/2) I got the impression that the management of Waffle House during peak hours emphasize to their wait-staff to "turn" the seats as quickly as possible. But PLEASE! Not when the seating is a third of capacity! And not when there is only an hour and half till closing! After emphasizing to them that I was going to take my time perusing their menu... the wait-staff turned off the "rush-them-out" 'tude. Once the ground rulers were established, the waitresses became more amenable and conversant. My Coffee cup was never empty. Waffle House is a ten-year-old restaurant in Manteca that is part of a chain that extends as far North as Rancho Cordova, CA. Formerly a Happy Steak franchise, the interior seating are ALL booths... not one individual seat in sight! All the bench seating is of tufted brown naugahyde. A very airy, bright atmosphere... almost seamless windows on South, East walls. Wait-Staff are kinda uniformed in Crimson knee-length bibs... Cute. Initially, I thought the Waffle House in Manteca was a part of a chain of Waffle House restaurants in the Phoenix, Las Vegas area ( http://www.wafflehouse.com/ ), recognized by their Scrabble-type of lettering in their signage... But, I guess, the Waffle House chain in California is totally distinct from the one's East of California. I usually NEVER mention the unmentionable "restroom"... but today I have to. If you have to use it at Waffle House... get there early because when I went in, I turned right around immediately! It had not been attended to, it seemed like, for the whole day! Quite a few people, I guess, had an adverse reaction to the Waffle House cuisine... You really don't want me to describe it! read more

Great service & great food! Portions are huge. Refills are always being filled and coffee always being topped off to keep warm! Your food is brought to you very quick! Very comfortable place to have Breakfast or lunch with your family and or friends! read more

Love this place. The food portions are great and the staff is friendly. I love having breakfast here because they have great hashbrowns and make the eggs exactly how I like them. read more

So. Theres not a lot of choice in Manteca. The pickings being slim, it's a good (not great) choice. The service is fast, reasonably priced, but the promise from other reviews for a waffle sandwich are non existent. The cherries were sour. The toast was day old. Overall, I'd probably pick something quick and fresher like Jamba Juice, but if you like greasy spoons you'll most likely be satisfied. read more

Love love this spot! Its def a hidden gem. Large portion size delicious food, always great service. I order the usual; bacon pecan waffle, and Joes special. The waffle Is cooked with chunks of bacon and then topped with more bacon and whole pecans!! The best in town read more

Service was okay , prices are a little high though .I'm not really a waffle person but I decided to try one to see if they lived up to the name and they most definitely did the waffles were absolutely amazing . Will definitely be coming back for more waffles read more

This place was delicious!!! We went to get breakfast during a long break in my daughter's soccer tournament down the street. There were a TON of people waiting, but the wait time was pretty quick! We were seated and promptly had our drink orders in. I ordered the chocolate chip waffle combo and my daughter ordered the strawberry waffle. They were served so quickly and arrived hot and loaded with whipped cream, strawberries and chocolate! It was delicious!! The bacon was thick cut and perfectly cooked as well as my eggs. This place was definitely a gem we will be returning to! read more

The kids love it here so many delicious waffles!!! Not overly sweet like you would expect them to be great flavor!!! However the iced coffee in my opinion is not the best...everything else is %100 thanks Waffle House!! read more

You'll never go to Denny's for breakfast ever again. The food are amazingly huge and flavorful. Exterior are kind of all fashion though, Like back in 70's. But other than that. Its awesome place to eat read more

This place is amazing, we have taken Family here and been here a few times our self. Every time we come the service is amazing, they bend over backwards for you. If the wait looks long don't worry they usually seat you fairly quickly. All the staff is extremely friendly and the food is amazing. We try to come here every Sunday to enjoy a nice delicious breakfast. GREAT QUALITY, GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE ! read more

Food is decent. Not the best. Ordered Joe's omelette with country potatoes and a pancake but I think they gave me hash brown instead? Pancake was super dry and the hash brown tasted like it came out of a box or frozen. Service was poor, I felt like i was a burden to the waitresses. I worked as a waitress in a high speed Japanese BBQ restaurant for about 4 years, so I know what good costumer service looks like on both ends and this place was not it :/ read more

Only 2 stars because service is good. This place lacks in many ways. Place is very run down and grimy. Fold out costco chairs at the tables. The menu is horrible. No kids menu at all. Have to pay 9.95 just to get kids bacon and pancake. It ordered ala cart it would be $12+. Pancakes have zero flavor no wonder why thy give way to much better. Waffles are some of the worst... for a waffle shop this is too bad. Bacon is very cheap like its walmart bar s crap for 1.99 pound. Buscuit and gravy would be better at Carls jr. Not much more to say just wont be returning ever. read more

Really delicious...really big plates....really full stomach First time eating here it's really good love the hash browns and the French toast. the pancakes are the size of the plates the only thing would be the table size too small need to have enough space but thats the only down fall read more

I went there for an early lunch and I have to say the food was pretty good! The service was great! Waitress was very attentive and on top of it! Food was pretty good. I ordered a chicken sandwich which was delicious. The lettuce was soggy so I had to remove it. My child ordered a turkey sandwich which wasn't very good. They put so much mayo on it the bread was super soggy. Over all a decent place to eat. read more

This is still my go to place for breakfast here locally. Tried the chicken waffle a bit disappointed about the chicken - one of those frozen ready to fry chicken strips - if only they have fresh chicken - battered and deep fry it will be perfect. This is still my fav place to have breakfast read more

Waffle Cafe - First time they serve Chicken Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Manteca, California

Racist middle aged woman who was (by the far end right side when you enter near the windows took our order around 10am) the rudest person you can imagine. I can't believe they have someone like that working there. The white older couple sitting next to us she was very attentive and sweet to. But when it came to my family she did not stop by once and when we asked her she ignored us. Not to mention it was my nephews birthday & he couldn't even enjoy his breakfast. If my family ever plans to go back we won't ever because of that server. It tells you a lot about the owner if they employ a person with so much hate like that. My boyfriend was tall and had tattoos everywhere, so she was quick to judge. read more

Feels grimy. Like a really old outdated diner with a thick layer of grease all over - which is one of those things I can get past if the food is good. I love diners. But negative. It was ok at best. The big deal killer for me was the nasty margarine they used. When I asked for real butter they acted as if they had never heard of such a thing. Super gross slimy margarine too - like out of a vat. The waffle was significantly less than delightful. The service was ok. Probably won't go back unless forced. read more

Once in a while, you find a family restaurant that combines exceptional service, consistently delicious food, a clean environment, friendly and respectable staff. This restaurant has been a part of this community for a number of years, and they possessed all of the factors that would turn you into a regular customer. It WAS the place to go to get affordable quality food quickly and excellent service. I was there a few weeks ago, deciding that a few mishaps with service and lacking waiting staff could be forgiving. After all, the place has been there a really long time. My boyfriend and I were immediately seated. I thought that was a great start. Then we ordered our drinks.....then the waiting began. We had to ask when we would expect them. By then we were ready to order and did. My waffle was overcooked to the point of it being black on the bottom, and my boyfriend's biscuits and gravy could be comparable to hockey pucks. What's more, the gravy was cold. We were going go send it back...we watched our waitress hang out behind the desk with other coworkers laughing a joking, and even flirting with the men in the booth behind is. Pretty much everything but her job. The only thing that was done diligently was the check delivered within five minutes of getting our food. That's tacky and just disrespectful, especially when she passed on the checks to another girl who was washing dishes in the back. I was furious, and still hungry. By the time we left, we tactfully expressed how horrible their service had been. I refuse to leave a tip when expected to endure that! Our waitress apologized and of all things blamed it on the new girl that have us our check. Unbelievable. I'm halfway tempted to call Restaurant Impossible because they seriously need to clean up their act. More and more people are refusing to return, myself included. I did find out that there was a change in management, things went downhill from there evidently. Just beware that when you go to Country Waffle, management has changed and it seems to be the key reason why so many customers just won't come back (looking for the number to Restaurant Impossible). Las read more

I've been to this place numerous times and it NEVER disappoints. The waffles are amazing. My favorite is the cherry almond. Their omelettes are huge and delicious. You can't go wrong with the country omelette or the denver omelette. And don't get me started about the biscuits and gravy. The gravy is the best I've had. It is thick with chunks of sausage. Whenever I'm in town I will always come here! read more

We have been going here for over 5 years. With that being said in the past year it has gone downhill or maybe my standards have gone up. There has always been a wait there on Sundays or Saturdays, but the last 3 times we have gone we put or name on a list and have sat for over 20 min. With each time had a crappy experience. That would be fine if people after us weren't being seated, like PP said there are only booths available so it had nothing to do with our family of 4. Last time when I went and asked how much longer or wait would be the hostess(who is new haven't seen her b4) goes ohh sorry I marked you off I thought she seated you. You will be the next to go be seated. Ok then no problem right....until 4 other partys were seated again!!! GGRGRGGRGRGGR With that being said when were finally seated took another 15 min for them to come take our drink order. No big deal for a couple but with a family of 4 with 2 toddlers the wait can be painful. When I asked if we could order are food 2 the waitress(again new) said umm yeah but let me come back and I will take that....moves on to another order and still hadn't asked what we wanted for drinks. So we waited again for another 5 before she came back. Took our drink order and food order, she came right back with the drinks. Then right after that the bill.....umm hello did I misss something the food isn't here yet. Waited about the same time for our food so no change there. Food was same as always, greasy but good. Overall though I think we were there almost 2 hours and it wasn't pleasant So with the past 3 time being bad and the last the worst I won't be going back there again. I wish it would go back to where Billy(the manager) walked around talking with the customers and the waitress who had all been there a long time where still there. read more

I love this place! great food, great service we enjoy coming here. I enjoy the French Toast combo so delicious!

This is my regular go-to breakfast place. They open super early, it's not unusual to find me there at 5:30 am, and the food comes quick, in big portions and is reasonably priced. If you're a "foodie" expecting the Yelper trifecta of ambiance, cheap and fabulous food you're going to want to go to one of the other fabulously hip joints in Manteca. If you want good, solid American food at a reasonable price and dint care if you take a time warp back to the 1970's then this is a good choice. They keep your coffee full, in fact, some ask and some don't so if you're not careful you might end up drinking 6 cups of coffee during breakfast! It's interesting to me that Chubby's diner, which is in the same parking lot, has higher average reviews. Whenever I'm here, which is often, there are always people in the Waffle Shop but hardly anyone in Chubby's. go figure. read more
