It seems like forever since I've been in a while the house. So when it was suggested, I thought to myself, it was a grand idea! The waffle House by the airport is seeming like the only one left in Albuquerque. If there's another one, I'm not aware of where it is. Once we walked in the place is busy and clean with the staff being very friendly and informative. Food was obviously very good and we enjoyed every morsel! read more

Waffle House - Diners Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Solid three stars for friendly service staff and quick airport service but the food was lacking. The waffle was flat and thin and syrupy was grossly sticky and not a quality Maple Syrup that I am inclined! The egg was powder and the fried chicken wings were darkly fried from the very hot temperature with burnt oil from repeated cooking with fallen batters in the old used oil. The restaurant was open and airy but smelled strangely oily probably secondary oil smoke from burnt, over-fried cooking oil that may not be the healthiest choice. Overall, three stars for the great service, fast cooked chicken wings and reasonably priced in this lovely clean airport that I love to travel into. read more

Every time I go, I'm impressed with the professionalism of the staffers - from the hosts to the servers to the cooks. Not just professionalism - _friendly_ professionalism, all while multitasking at 100 mph. (An aside: if you ever get a job application from someone who's worked at a Waffle House for any length of time - that's pretty much as good a reference as an Eagle Scout badge. These folks are PROS.) And, it's a good thing, too - because Waffle House is wildly popular . . . and we all know there's a diverse clientele, some of whom may have issues. It's busy; you may have to wait. But don't sweat that: they turn tables like an Indy pit crew changes tires and there are plenty of seats for you to sit and wait, maybe read that book that's going to expire on Libby in a couple days. The room - well, it's a diner. You probably know what it is. Not especially comfortable (especially if you get a low counter seat) but this one is always clean - drippingly, just-cleaned, clean. (For the most part: you have a fair chance of getting a somewhat sticky laminated menu - bring hand sanitizer to clean up, because the traffic to the bathrooms is always pretty constant and seems urgent.) The food is - well, better than most diners in town. And reasonably portioned for the price. Not sophisticated (gloppy, a little too on the sweet side), but - by gum - your over-medium eggs are going to be the most spot-on, perfect over-medium eggs you've gotten at a restaurant since you ate at that snooty breakfast place in the Wynn in Vegas. And it'll all taste good. And it won't make you regret having eaten it. I have a heck of a time finding people willing to go to Waffle House with me, but I always enjoy my visits to this one. read more

Coming from the Pacific NW, Waffle House isn't something we get to have. After landing on Christmas eve at the airport, we took a short drive to this Waffle House location. Upon entering, we can see the staff being extremely busy, fortunately there was one table left, which took a bit to get cleaned. It's quite fun for the kids to see the food being made, they got a kick out of the whole vibe. Service was really slow, but we knew this being one of the few restaurants open on Christmas eve, this was what we expected. All the food we had was solid, the steak cheese Texas toast and bacon chicken Texas toast were both tastier than expected. The service was more of a 2*, staff was just swamped so not their fault, one customer seems to have taken it personally and took off while slamming the door. Food overall was a 4*, and we are thankful for the staff working hard on Christmas eve. read more

Apparently the quintessential Waffle House experience happens around 3:00 AM after the bars close. Since I don't stay up that late anymore, I had to settle for the regular daytime brunch experience. We both had the All-Star special - two eggs, bacon or sausage, grits or hash browns, and a waffle. My husband enjoyed the peanut butter chips topping his waffle, and his grits were very good. I went for the plain waffle, which was pretty tasty. While I didn't get my hash browns smothered or covered, they were great on their own. Jasmine served us with a smile without hovering. read more

First time Waffle House experience! This is definitely a step above going to a Dennys after a night of bar hopping. Everything was so yummy and the prices were more than fair. One of the employees, Ty, was also so sweet and kept checking in on us. Whenever we're back in New Mexico, we're coming back here! *note: this reviewer from California read more

After dropping my friend off at the airport around 5:15 am we decided it was finally time for me to try Waffle House. I find it to be a fabled spot, and I know it is meant to be eaten late night, but I figured early morning would be equally thrilling. We arrived and there were a few folks dining, and about 4 workers who were all very very nice. Coffee was good, hash browns were excellent smothered and covered (I love their onions!), bacon was a bit undercooked and the waffle was mid. My biggest issue is that so many places are switching from real butter to whipped spread, which I can't eat with my soy allergy but alas it is a me problem. Overall it was a good authentic Waffle House experience I'd say. I'd go back for the hash browns and I can see how after a night of drinking it would hit the spot! read more

Warmly welcomed by numerous staff. We chose our seat and server appeared immediately to take our drink order - coffee. We both had a traditional waffle with bacon and 1 scrambled egg on the side. Would have liked the waffle cooked a bit longer but otherwise everything was very tasty and service was exceptional. Modest prices but higher than previous visit to another location. Restaurant was very clean. Parking lot as sufficient for the size of the restaurant., read more

Looks like kind of a hole in the wall but not like that at all. I was seated at the counter and was totally entertained by the cooks. The staff just calls out the order and they prepare it without looking at any ticket. And they handle several orders at once. The food is very good and reasonably priced. I had plenty to eat. read more

Leon was our server and of all the waffle houses I've been to Leon shined like no other. Table cloth service at a waffle house. Who would have thought. He was friendly, intelligent, eager to take care of us. Very intuitive as to our needs.he really made our visit here one to remember. I hope he one day runs his own restaurant. He has the ability to go far. If ever I'm in town again I hope to find out Leon is running his own restaurant. read more

OMG takes me back to the good ol days growing up in NC. The food is great and Roy is an amazing cook! We will be back when he is lol my only complaint is the waffle! I've only been to this location once but my waffle was terrible compared to back in the day when I was a waitress in NC. They used to be huge and perfectly cooked . Idk maybe that one was just off but I'll definitely be back to find out because the rest of the food was AMAZING! Cheese eggs, bacon, sausage egg and cheese biscuit ... hash browns were good just Need to be cooked harder. Like I said we only went to this one once but it was good enough to bring us back! read more

My husband & I came after dropping our son off at the airport. Neither of us had ever been here & thought it was a good time to try it out. Waitress was very nice & efficient. Restaurant itself was greasy feeling & dirty. Food was ok, pretty tasteless, waffle was more like a pancake with squares, syrup was very low quality. Almost immediately after leaving, I was nauseous for the rest of the day so it was a one and done for us read more

Never been to a Waffle House but saw a lot of them while driving on road trip. We decided to stop for breakfast before hopping back on the road. Was not pleased with my meal. Service was great tho. read more

- Opinion Before Visiting: I've been to Waffle House before and knew what to expect: no luxury, but solid diner food with speedy service. I wasn't expecting anything new or mind-blowing, just a dependable meal and hopefully a few surprises in the details. - First Impressions: As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly and seated in under a minute. The interior had the classic, no-frills Waffle House vibe, a bit worn, but welcoming. Coffee and water landed on my table less than a minute after sitting down, which instantly set a good tone. - What I Ordered: Meal: The All-Star Special 2 Over-Easy Eggs 3 Slices of Bacon Hash Browns (Plain) White Toast 1 Plain Waffle w/ Butter and Syrup Drinks: Coffee, Water, Orange Juice - 10-Point Breakdown: 1. Service - 5/5 Attentive and efficient. Coffee and water were at my table in under a minute, and my mid-meal request for orange juice was fulfilled almost instantly. Staff checked on me regularly without hovering, and I felt genuinely appreciated. 2. Cleanliness - 3/5 The interior was very clean, especially the bathroom, which was nearly spotless aside from some mirror graffiti. The outdoor area, however, was rough: overflowing trash cans and litter in the parking lot and walkway. It's a shame, but understandable for the area. 3. Wait Time / Efficiency - 5/5 Lightning fast. I was seated right away, and the food was on my table in under 10 minutes. For a solo diner on a moderately busy day, this was excellent. 4. Friendly Staff - 5/5 The staff was patient with my ordering, checked in multiple times, and were polite and professional the whole visit. When I was only halfway through my coffee, they offered a refill; that's the kind of touch that makes you feel welcome. 5. Food Quality - 4/5 Everything came out steaming hot. The bacon was cooked past soft but not brittle, the eggs were runny and perfect for dipping, and the hash browns had great texture but needed a bit of salt. Toast was only lightly done; could've used more crunch. The waffle was overcooked, but in a way I personally enjoy: crunchy edges with a fluffy center. Coffee was bold but smooth, and paired perfectly with the waffle. 6. Portion Size - 4/5 Very reasonable. Two large eggs, three slices of bacon, four toast halves, a standard waffle, and a quarter-plate's worth of hash browns made for a filling meal that didn't feel excessive. 7. Value for Price - 5/5 Total bill (pre-tip): $13.50, a shockingly low price for how much I got. I genuinely expected it to be closer to $20. Fantastic value for the quantity and quality of food. 8. Menu Variety - 4/5 Waffle House delivers more variety than you might expect from a 24-hour diner. Beyond the expected breakfast staples like eggs, bacon, waffles, and hash browns, there's a full spread of lunch and dinner options including burgers, melts, T-bone steaks, pork chops, grilled chicken, and even chili. Breakfast meats can be swapped out, eggs can be cooked several ways, and you can customize hash browns with over a dozen mix-in options (onions, cheese, jalapeños, ham, mushrooms, etc.). The beverage menu includes multiple juices, sodas, and flavored coffees, and there are both biscuit- and toast-based combos. 9. Accessibility / Parking - 4/5 The parking lot is a reasonable size (35 spaces, 3 of which are handicap accessible), but I found a spot without trouble. Plenty of accessibility with restrooms large enough to accommodate, and enough room in the restaurant to move freely. 10. Healthiness of the Food (Macro Breakdown) - 3/5 Estimated Macros: Calories: ~1,010 Protein: ~30g Carbs: ~92g Fat: ~60g It's a classic high-fat, high-carb diner meal, but it delivers solid protein and can be adjusted (skip toast, switch meats) if you're watching macros. Nutritional transparency isn't provided on-site, so tracking is self-estimated. Final Thoughts & Rating Average Score Across Categories: 4.3 / 5 Final Yelp Rating: 4/5 This visit was exactly what I hoped for, fast, friendly, and filling. While the exterior could use some upkeep, everything inside was handled with care. The food hit the spot, the service was warm and efficient, I left full and satisfied. read more

Twice now I've come here and have not been seated. The last time, I waited over an hour on the seating list while others who arrived after me were seated -- and I never was. I was only one person, so I can't understand why I was skipped. I'm not sure if it's prejudice or poor management, but either way it's unacceptable and needs to be corrected. read more

First time, not what I expected but all good. Pros: old school feel, as the waitress calls you hun:). Food was fine and price matches. See my pics, biscuits and gravy, waffle with peanut butter chips and hash browns with ham and cheese. All fine based on the cost. Cons: if your expectations are not high, it's fine. For some reason I expected big unhealthy portions, but small and cost matches so all good. read more

Waffle House - Waffle with peanut butter chips, sausage and gravy, hashbrowns with ham and cheese. - Diners Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

They've got tons of parking, fast service, and a staff that clearly seems to enjoy their jobs. Rest of it is a bog-standard Waffle House experience. A tad greasy feeling inside (looks greasier than it is, this one is pretty well-kept), food is so-so, even if the hashbrowns still call my name, and pricing is like every other WH, very affordable. For some, Waffle House is nostalgic of something, and honestly, at some locations in the south, I get that feeling. This one I don't, but it's still a Waffle House. read more

Waffle House - Outside. - Diners Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My mother, wife and I ate at this Waffle House on Thursday, May 26, 2022, at 2 PM. This location sits conveniently by the Albuquerque Sunport, and we had a flight to catch to LA after our meal. Upon seating, our waitress immediately took our order. My wife and mother opted to order from the breakfast menu, but I had to have some lunch. I selected the Texas Bacon Cheesesteak Melt plate with hashbrowns. The menu has nice color photos of all the plates, which is super helpful. Wish more establishments would do this! My food came out piping hot and smelling great. The large quantity of hashbrowns were nicely prepared, with a crispy outside and tender potato inside. My melt didn't have very much bacon, and the steak inside was just okay. Overall, my melt disappointed me a bit. My wife and mother enjoyed their breakfasts a lot more than I enjoyed my lunch. I paid $12 for my melt and hashbrown plate. If you visit here, stick with their breakfast. read more

So my wife and my in-laws came to New Mexico to visit family and after a good amount of travel time we got hungry. Our search led us to The Waffle House. Let me just say that it was actually really good. I got a steak bacon melt sandwich with hash browns and it was simple and to the point meal. Of course we got the waffle which was okay. Our server, I think his name was Ty was very cool and attentive and all round a great person and was very quick with refills made our first time very enjoyable. The ambiance was what you would expect from the movies and memes could use an update but who really is complaining. All and all had a great first time. Happy there wasn't any fights or chair throwing. Lol read more

This location matched up with the Yelp reviews they previously had. The procedures to dine in or out were confusing to most and frustrated an elder man so bad he left early and flicked off the staff. He was completely in the wrong but his frustration was understandable since he was waiting outside for 45 minutes with no guidance on what to do to order. I was not happy when I got my food and everything was barely warm, except for the bottom of the hash browns. I was also very displeased with the arguments or disagreements that could be heard between the staff that was working. I am not sure if there were a lot of new staff members or what but there was so much confusion between their current at table orders, phone orders, to go orders AND DoorDash/postmate orders. Why or how would I know about their confusion if it were not for the loud arguments and back and forth discussions. The food was not terrible, but everything else around the meal, even the temperature, warranted this review rating that I gave. read more

So this was my first time attending a Waffle House ever. I was looking forward to it as well. I was disappointed honestly in the food quality, However the service was decent. I had the All star and my SO had the 2 egg breakfast. The food wasn't hot, it was barely warm. We came from out of town as well, so maybe today was just one of those days. However the overall experience was decent, just wouldn't come back. read more

One of the better Waffle House. Clean and efficient. They put the grits in a separate bowl so I appreciate it when they do. Not every Waffle House does that, some just pile it into the plate. Love the raisin bread too. Close enough to the airport that I would stop by for a long layover. read more

Waffle House - Mushroom scrambled eggs. You can ask for whatever toppings they have for hashbrowns as toppings for eggs. - Diners Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was excited to find a WH so far from home. I was directed towards the low counter in a less than 1/2 full restaurant. I'm 6'5" have a fused back and their low chairs and stools hurt my back. I know their weekend policy so always go early and have never had a problem in the 53 years of eating WH in the South. Here the greeter told me she'd just been yelled at by the manager for sitting a single in a booth. She pointed at the manager. I went to explain my issue and point out that the place was still only 1/2 full and was going to tell her that I eat fast and am a good tipper but she interrupted me and just kept telling me the policy without ever looking up from what she was doing. So I left. read more

Don't know why I keep giving this place a chance. No more. $.50 surcharge per egg. No other restaurants in the area are doing that.

Stopped here for a midnight meal after flying in from Los Angeles. The hotel staff recommended for me to eat here. When I had arrived, this diner was full. The cooks and the waitresses are very up beat, extremely busy and calling out the orders. But yet very attentive to each table. The kitchen is open and you can watch the show from your table. I had ordered a bacon cheese burger. The beef was cooked to perfection. It was cooked all the through and it was still juicy. The tomato, pickles lettuce and the bacon were on the side. This was the first time I had ever had hash browns with my burger. The hash was crispy of the outside and soft in the inside. Perfect. read more
