Wow. Been almost 10 years since I went a Waffle House. Recently listened to the Jonas Brothers song and got inspired to make a trip. Found out this location specifically that the founder of Reddit and husband of Serena Williams got inspired at this establishment. Figured what better spot to go. The food here was so much better than I expected. And the service was superb. Would definitely come again. read more

There's nothing as delightful as watching a dialed-in Waffle House crew working in sync, turning out delicious, well-made, well-presented plates -- all served with a generous side of y'all. Stopped in for breakfast and the whole visit was just flat-out great. I ordered the All-Star Special with bacon, grits, and sunny-side-up eggs, and everything came out hot, fresh, and cooked exactly the way I wanted. The bacon was crisp, the eggs were perfect, and the grits were smooth and buttery the way only a good Southern breakfast joint can pull off. All the waffle was second to none! My drink of choice: a half-sweet/half-unsweet iced tea, which hit that perfect balance. Cold, refreshing, not syrupy, not bitter. Just right with plenty of refills without an ask. What made the meal even better was the crew. You can tell when a Waffle House team is in sync, and this group had that rhythm -- calling orders, plating food, checking on guests, and keeping the place spotless. Friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. If you want a classic Waffle House experience done right, this spot delivers. I'll absolutely be back. Go Wahoos, Go Waffles! read more

I really like the ambience, it's a really nice place, I think the only problem, is that you have to be in such a rush, because of how many people there are. Other than that, there's no problems really. The food tastes absolutely amazing, the eggs are really cheesy and the meat has a lot of flavor and the hashbrowns taste really good. Would definitely recommend. My server's name was Casey read more

Used to really like this place, as far as WHs go, but today it was ehh. All new staff, all the joy and happiness left with the old staff. Two people waiting tables and the manager just standing around watching as they struggled to stay caught up. Also, it does not need to be that cold...ever... read more

Waffle House - Charlottesville - The all-star, with double hash browns for my wife to steal. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

The staff was very friendly at this location and provided efficient service. I appreciated the holiday decor and outfits. We got a waffle, side of eggs, and side of hash browns with jalepenos. I appreciated that our sides came with complimentary toast. We got the eggs scrambled and I liked that they did not seem to use too much oil, butter, or filler. Tasted like how I would make scrambled eggs at home ina good way. The hash browns were good but I wish they gave us some more. The toast was standard, a little too soggy but I liked the butter on it and the whipped butter that came on the side with my waffle. The waffle was good but unfortunately a bit undercooked. All in all a decent casual diner experience. read more

This is my first time eating Waffle House ever! The service was really friendly (shout out to Freddy and the team!) it was jam packed and although we had to wait it was worth it. The waffle was hot fresh and slight crispy. The overall winner for me was the cheese grits. Idk what was in them, but man they were the best I've had in a long time. Toast and eggs were standard. But if you have time to dine I recommend this location. read more

Waffle House - Charlottesville - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I honestly love this place, everyone calls me by name and gets happy . The food is always on point and the vibe inside is always fun

Okay- so the 5 star is for judging this by what it is--a Waffle House. I have eaten here twice in the past 2 months due to travel to visit my Hoo. One time at 3 am since that is when I arrived from driving and once at 5pm for breakfast for dinner with my Hoo. Both times I ordered decaf coffee and fresh pots were made for me. Food isn't fancy but it is good. Service was perfect both times. If you expect fancy or something other than good solid food with good service...you will be disappointed. But again, even with tip, our breakfast for dinner was 30 dollars for 2 people--I spent 16 dollars for 3 tacos and 2 drinks at Taco Bell today and it wasn't half as good. read more

Waffle House - Charlottesville - All star minus the waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

My waitress Christen greeted me with a smile and a upbeat manner. It really started my day in a great way!!!!!! read more

This rating is a minus 1 star! Service - my family had issues with this location last year in September and decided we would give it a try since we've been craving Waffle House. This location was completely empty when we pulled up. Should've been a clear indication of what was to come. He started preparing food by digging in the ingredient bucket for my hash browns with his bare right hand and left hand still had the pen and paper from him taking the order. We saw that and instantly I said "I'm not hungry" to my family. Ambience - With an empty restaurant I would've expected a cleaner store. The food prep area and floor had shredded hash browns all over the counter and floor. There was lettuce and tomatoes laying on the bare food prep counter. There was no one in the restaurant so we didn't understand why the fixings were was exposed on the prep counter. Food- after experiencing what we did, it was apparent that we would be in for the same poor experience my family had in September 2022. So there are no pictures of food. End result- we told the gentlemen, we changed our minds about eating there. read more

Waffle House - Charlottesville - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I'm not from the part of the country where there are Waffle Houses, so this was my first visit. The food was delicious, I got hash browns, eggs, and toast. However, the poor cook was seriously overworked. He was working by himself and didn't have anyone else to cook. He had to turn away people who wanted to sit down and eat because he could only cook for so many people at once. Because he was so overworked, I didn't make a big deal about the fact that some of our food never arrived. We ordered a couple of things that we never got. We needed to get going, so we left without them and without asking for our money back for items we didn't get. Next time I would like to try an actual waffle. That was one of the things we didn't get that we ordered. read more

While staying across the street from this particular Waffle House I stopped in for breakfast one morning on my way to work. I was the only one in there, around 6AM and was served immediately. The staff was talkative and friendly. One particular lady, I think her name was Loretta, was very friendly and helpful and nice. The food I got was good. I wanted chili on my hash browns, but they didn't have any when I visited. Overall, I've got no complaints - it was good and I'd return. read more

My favorite thing to get there is a chocolate chip waffle just plain. It's amazing. It's the best waffle I ever tried

Went there around 6pm. There was only 1 other customer eating. Sat at a booth and waited....and waited. Finally someone came over and took our drink order, and never brought drinks over to us. We waited while she was looking at her phone and told the other worker she was fixing to leave. She then plugged her phone to charge and still nothing. I assume the other worker was coming to take our order but nope she walked by and never seen her again. We waited about 5 minutes and decided to leave. Thats when she made eye contact like where are yall coming...really. I dont understand lazy people. read more

Love the vibe of this place. They were super busy when we arrived so we had to bus our own table but otherwise service with a smile. Surprisingly food came quickly and waffles did not disappoint. A few of us had the bowls and they were delish as well. Not great for large groups unless you don't mind sitting apart and they don't take reservations. read more

There at 3am. Quiet, clean, great service and food. Since we had just left the ED and were very hungry, this hit the spot

They are open 24 hours, but they only offer ToGo service after 10:30. When passing through town late at night on a long drive, I don't want to eat sunnyside eggs and hashbrowns from a Styrofoam tray while sitting in my car. I need to walk around, sit at a table, and relax a little while. The outside signage says "Open 24 hours." If it had "ToGo service only after 10:30," we wouldn't have wasted our time stopping. read more

Half of the restaurant was closed off due to short staffing. I saw a bug (possibly a roach) but the server flung it across toward the kitchen area. I have no idea where it landed and neither did the server. We took our orders and proceeded to hold the pen and pad along with food in his bare hands, no gloves and didn't wash his hands. At this point we decided to leave. read more

First let me start my saying there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the food. The young man that was cooking was focused and fast. Food came out exactly as ordered. But some of the other staff was questionable. The waitress Quail and the assistant cook (not sure of her name but she had braids) laughed and screamed and disrupted the meals of the patrons throughout the service. It's like they were at home in their personal kitchen. Let's just say we wanted to know what was so funny....even the cook looked annoyed. read more

Refused to make my food cause it was too big an order despite having supplies, very rude too, made an excuse in order to not make me waffles. read more

We stop in every Saturday morning for breakfast on our way out to do the weekly grocery shopping. Food is quick and well prepared, if you get lucky enough to get Quail she will always take great care of you! read more

Unless the staff at this Waffle House gets some training in customer service their average yelp rating of 3 stars will continue to decrease. My experience there was very unprofessional and with slow service, inattention to the fact that our food was not prepared, lack of a thank you for tip that I actually should not have provided, no apology for the fact that my wife's food was not even prepared until another staff person had to inform her. It was my worst experience ever in a Waffle House. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Waffle House for around 20 years and never filed a complaint until now. On Sunday, 10/30/2022, is the last day I will EVER go to the Waffle House on 495 Premier Circle, Charlottesville, VA 22901. The reason is due to a blatant lie the manager said to a server about me. The manager said that I ordered an omelette and walked out while it was being made. This NEVER happened. The only time I ever walked out of a Waffle House without my order was on September 30th, yes they were busy and understaffed, when the server didn't take my order and I was waiting 45-60 minute to place a takeout order. The server kept saying it would be a few but she never took my order but kept taking the orders of other patrons that was eating in house. I recommend the manage get her facts straight before she complains to a server about a customer. read more

Quail was my server, she was great! Food was awesome! Definitely recommend to anyone!! She played with a small child from another table while remaining professional! Awesome job! read more

Staff waste too much time talking. Service could be a lot better. Food is ok but not consistent one visit it was good the next it was disappointing. read more

Great, standard Waffle House fare. However, their hours are inconsistent and I don't know how I can know them ahead of time. If itms Covid I'd understand, but this has been a problem at this one and the old location near 5th St. for. while, hope it turns around for you guys! Good luck. read more

On thanksgiving day of all days we came across the rudest staff you could imagine. As soon as we stepped in the very rude and nasty lady at front was cursing under her tongue about people showing up. This lady reeked of foul body odor and explained to her fellow employer she wouldn't be opening up another section for our large group including a newborn. We were told to sit at booth by front door. Well the booth was disgusting with many meals worth of gunk stuck to table. 3 staff watched as we cleaned our own table then tryed to take our order smelling like dirty socks. This place is rude and I can't imagine enough soap to wash the people clean read more

I love me some Waffle House! The only chain I would be more excited to have open a location near me would be White Castle. In the absence of a Waffle House near home, I make it a point to stop here every time I pass through Charlottesville, and it does not disappoint. Somehow they seem to make every Waffle House exactly the same, not just the building, but the staff and the atmosphere. It's not what you would call "high-class", but that's part of the charm. At least one waitress in each location is disgruntled at all times, but the rest will be really friendly. The cooks will be working hard whether there are three tables full or a line out the door waiting. And most importantly, your coffee will be topped off constantly. The food at this location is just like every other Waffle House; hot, tasty, filling, and cheap. I am a big fan of the cheesesteak omelet, but if you are not in the mood for a greasy gut-bomb, the pecan waffle is pretty much unbeatable. And whatever you do, do NOT miss out on the hash browns! read more

Sometimes in town running errands pass by and then start craving the hasbrowns. Good coffee, no lattes or anything fancy. Doesn't bother me a time all. Simple food and has always been a pretty laid back atmosphere. read more

Waffle House - Charlottesville - No frills just good flavor - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Went yesterday for brunch before checking into our hotel. The service was nice and accommodating but the food came out very burnt. We asked for a redo but the same level of burnt food came out a 2nd time. Odd parking lot and would cause a problem if busy in the morning. Wish I could give a better review. read more

First time at a Waffle House, and I will say I was happy with the price of the food and what I got. For $2, I got a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. The biscuit was heated up on the grill on both sides and apparently very buttered because when I started eating the sandwich, the biscuit was super hot and crumbly. Yum. Boyfriend and I shared a large order of homefries. Too much for the both of us. He ordered coffee, two eggs over easy, grits, and wheat toast. For the two of us, it cost $12..62. For the friendly waitress, Loretta, we ended up paying $15.00 for the two of us. Seating is seat yourself, and it can get chaotic and confusing but it works. read more

If I could rate the service a zero I would. My husband and I walked in and waited to be acknowledged by staff and never even got a nod. We sat ourselves at a table by the windows only to be ignored by the staff for about 10 minutes before moving to a dirty kitchen side counter table. We were all but ignored for another 10 minutes by all staff, including the man bussing dirty tables nearby. The server made eye contact but never said a word to us. It was a really frustrating experience and I am exceptionally patient, as is my spouse , so a hello or nod would have helped. It was busy but plenty of empty seating. Plenty of staff working so not sure what the issue was. Save your time and go elsewhere if they are busy. read more

Pretty typical Waffle House. Nothing too special. Service was mehhh. Table was kind of clean. The chocolate chip waffles and scrambled eggs were good. Bacon was not crispy, however, and the hash browns were too soggy. read more

Waffle House - Charlottesville - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This Waffle House gets a negative 1. We visited this Waffle House one night about 10pm. Entered the restaurant to all this fussing back and forth, foul language between this server and cook I suppose. There were no other employees present in the restaurant. He walked out and she goes on to tell us how terrible he is and that he was called in to work and didn't want to be there. She says customers had been walking out all night due to this behavior in the restaurant and I could see why. There was only one other table of 4 customers in the restaurant, which appeared to be college students. Part of the restaurant was closed off with chairs and all the other tables were dirty. She starts to make the tables food and told us she would clean the table we were standing next to once she got a chance. We walked out as well. As we were walking out we see whom I guess is the cook walking back in with his cell phone in his hand. By far this is our worse experience at any Waffle House. I called the next day hoping to speak with a manager to only get a recording which goes nowhere but to hangs up. read more

Came in to WH on a Sunday evening and the place was empty. the four of us sat a booth. The table had been wiped but surface was so streaked that you could feel the dried ridges of the dirt from the rag that used. The waitress was very nice and friendly and handed us menus that were very sticky. So now we all had to wash our hands before we even ordered. Waitress and cook having some personal problems communicating. I don't know why this town has the dirtiest tables in the state. you go accross the state line to North Carolina and I have never gotten a dirtly table or menu. read more

What a disappointing experience. My friend and I were driving down from Philly/NYC to visit our friend at UVA and I urged my friend to stop at a Waffle House. I was going purely off nostalgic instinct because I had a great memory of a waffle house when I was a child. Boy If I could punch my self as a child I would. We walked in to a horribly desolate restaurant with one disgruntled employee. I tried to be over exuberant to get her in a better mood but to no avail. After we ordered which took about 10 minutes because she was so slow, I asked her if we could eat our meals here instead of go. After this, two amazing things proceeded to happen: 1. She said it was impossible to change the order (which it clearly wasn't because she did nothing to prepare it) 2. a TO-GO Tax I don't know about you but I've never heard of a TO GO tax, and for all I know it was just a scam she pulled to put more money in her own pocket. As for the food, it was OK, nothing I couldn't get at another fast food joint. The meat was cheap, the coffee tasted like plastic. Thank god I was super hungry. I'd be willing to hit up another waffle house hoping this was an anomaly. BUt this one, NEVER again read more
