Maybe it was a bad day? I love Waffle House but this one wasn't too good. Nothing was terrible but it wasn't too good. Wife wanted crispy bacon and it was a mix of "raw" and crispy. Service was good and we got our food quickly. We didn't love the ambiance: music was loud and, in general, it was loud. read more

Waited 20 mins for take out and then I hear the waiter put in our order after sitting for 20 Mins.... got our order and the eggs were completely raw and not even cooked to the slightest bit. Mad people working but no one doing anything read more

Fast and friendly service with the staple of morning breakfast foods. The atmosphere was part organized chaos and part fine turned machine. The end product was a great breakfast at a reasonable price. I wish there were more of these places on the east coast. read more

The Food was really good there but last time I went there... I got severe food poisoning... Still good food though.

This was the first time I have been to Waffle House and this was an amazing experience. The service was very good. The restaurant was very clean. And the food was absolutely delicious. The food was also very affordable. The atmosphere of the restaurant also adds to the vibe of the restaurant. Overall I definitely recommend this Waffle House. read more

Some folk don't find the Waffle House all that good but I tell you to give it a try. The food is hot and hot coffee always good tasting and served , in fact the coffee is better here than some barista's. make. (Now that's a compliment of highest). You never know who you will meet in the restaurant! My friend from PA said she had the best burger ever there but I've always stuck to breakfast because when you want A hearty breakfast WAFFEL HOUSE name says it all!! Our local police like to eat there too, they were on seen before the crime took place, so don't think of robbing them. read more

Ms Mary was very fun and polite with great service and great food!!! Courtney and christina were excellent as well

The waitresses were so great with kids who were a little off the wall. A lot of hours in the car! The food was just the way I like it and they cut my kids waffles up to look like butterflies! It was clean-especially the bathrooms. read more

The place was very clean and the service was fast and friendly. I would advise trying their breakfast steak bowl it was very delicious

My first waffle house experience! Went late at night and the service was slow, however it was very understandable. There was a lot of people and only one chef and one waiter working and the waiter was very friendly and trying her best. Food was fine, a bit oily for my taste but I think that is your standard waffle house. My gf thought it was the best waffle house she's been to so this experience was pretty good! read more

Waffle House - Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dandridge, Tennessee

We love Waffle House in general, but when you walk into one like this one, where the food is warm & tasty, but, the welcoming smiles are warmer and the service is on point, it reminds me of why we love going to Waffle House. Our server was so professional and attentive, from right when we walked into the door, to when we walked out. She really wowed us by taking care of every single thing from refills, to taking orders for sides we wanted to add and making sure we were well fed and had everything right on the order for a relaxed and satisfying dining experience. Waffle House is a true American dining experience and a great reminder of the Southern Hospitality. We love our breakfast and love Waffle House! Thanks guys for the truly American tradition. read more

Just get rid of the cockroaches. They try and are mostly all pleasant and willing to talk for a sec before getting the orders out to tables.

We stopped here for breakfast on 4/19. Our server must have been brand new. She couldn't answer any questions and when we asked for the larger menu she gave us an inventory sheet. I had an omelet and it was ok, I just hate how the square "cheese" isn't really cheese. Toast was dry, sausage gravy was thick and gummy. Not one of my favorite visits. read more

Good food but has gotten very pricey. I understand prices have gone up but $34 for 2 omelets?? Ridiculous! read more

Always a good breakfast with excellent fast service. You will never have to wait for another cup of coffee because the servers are always checking on you. I always get the everyday breakfast; scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast and crispy bacon. The waffles are good too sweet and yummy! read more

The food was exactly what you expect from Waffle House - quick and delicious. The service is what made this visit so great! Jon, our server, was so incredibly kind and quick to help our party of 6, including small children. There's a working juke box and the kids enjoyed picking songs, and the dining room was quiet and clean. Definite 5 stars for us! read more

One of the better breakfasts I've had at Waffle House. The hash browns were among the best. The meal was good all around and the service was exemplary. 10/10 would stop here again. read more

Wow!!!! BEST Waffle House experience EVER! Thank you to Heather and her crew this evening for serving up outstanding service in an impeccably clean environment. The food was served hot and delicious. The hospitality and genuine care for our experience as guests could not have been nicer nor better. This is the ONLY Waffle House I ever want to eat at! I will come back to this location whenever I'm in the eastern part of the Volunteer state! Thank you for such an excellent experience! read more

The best Waffle House period. I have eaten at several and all the others are either not clean, the food sucks, or the service is bad, BUT not this one. It is clean, the staff is friendly and the food is always on point. read more

Very good. Food was tasty, the restaurant was clean, and our waitress (Brandy) was very attentive and seemed genuinely to enjoy her job.

As a vegetarian, I have trouble eating at most places like this. But, my grandkids love it. We've been there about have a dozen times in the last year. They always love their food. The staff is always friendly. Although I just drink coffee, it is a fun upbeat place to be. It is clean and well run. We've never had to wait for a table although they seem to do a good business. read more

Great clean place with very friendly staff! We went there Christmas morning and the atmosphere was awesome. Everyone was in a great mood and the food was delicious. I can highly recommend this place for breakfast. 5stars!! read more

Waffle House - a woman sitting at a table with breakfast items - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dandridge, Tennessee

We stopped by this famous restaurant (not a franchise, but privately owned, btw) on the way from NJ to Chattanooga, TN. That photo from Vance F. was exactly our view from where we were sitting...in the corner booth. We usually get stuck in corner areas because we have young kids...boys in particular...4 of them. So the whole "nobody puts baby in a corner" never applies to us. Anyway, she was the same waitress that worked there. And I will never forget the experience that we had there as a true testament to southern hospitality. A man sitting at the counter, in the same exact spot in that same aforementioned picture, ordered a bowl of grits. He complained that his portion was small. That same waitress says, "Calm down. Do you need a hug?" The man did a 180 and immediately his sour face turned into smiles and laughter. It totally threw him off and me too. That just doesn't ever happen in NJ. So that started us out with a comfortable, better mood. The mood got even better after we ordered and received our food in a timely manner. We ordered the waffles, of course, country ham, bacon, eggs and grits (can't go to the south without ordering grits!) We all pretty much shared everything. They gave sizable portions. The country ham slice still had the bone in and it was so tasty, not too salty, and perfectly cooked with the added bonus of some crunchiness in the outer parts of the ham. That was the best thing that we had because we don't usually have that in NJ. The waffles were good as expected. Everything else was as good as breakfast foods can get. Next time we drive to the south, we'll definitely make it a tradition to stop by Waffle House. Any one will do. Just as long as we can savor that country ham. That was hamtastic! read more

While generally a fan of Waffle House anyway, this one was likely the most friendly and welcoming of any of the many we have dined at. Morning breakfast shift and you could tell there was true teamwork and team spirit in action at this location. Our server was Jon. He was quick, polite, and eager to please. The order was on our table in a flash. Jon explained that he'd relocated to Dandridge from Illinois. We think Dandridge is lucky to have you and Illinois is the loser in that equation. Keep up the great work. You might just end up owning a few Waffle Houses if you keep at it :) Whether you want 'em Capped, Smothered, Covered, or the myriad of other choices the crew can shout out, go see Jon! read more

The best waffle house I've ever eaten in. Usually waffle house is a last resort thing. Well, im from FL so... this place is the exception to the rule. When im here in TN i come here regularly for meals. Its clean and the help is courteous. Much unlike the filthy conditions and angry help you get in the Florida waffle houses. And as a plus i wasn't worried about getting shot in the parking lot. . read more

Exceptional service and food employees were amazing they were deep cleaning the whole place when I came in and still had amazing attitudes at 1am read more

Passed through for breakfast and loved this place! Our server was great and attentive and the staff was super friendly! Will definitely come back! read more

Stopped here after a long drive. We ordered OJ and it was bad then tried to order hot chocolate and they were out. The waitress did try to accommodate that but she overall was not friendly and seemed to throw our food down when it came. Then as we were leaving just was just overall rude to the other employee working there about having to clean the nasty oj machine read more

Everyone has a bad day, apparently even Waffle House. The real measure is not whether a bad day occasionally comes to pass, but how the "team" handles it. On this particular bad day, the food didn't make the cut and the staff failed to handle it properly. We will not be returning. How can you "mess up" grits? Well, to start with you can serve them under-cooked. Being served under-cooked grits at a Waffle House is like being served a cup of melted ice cream at Baskin Robins. There's just no excuse. It can lead to such disappointment, it almost should be a capital crime. Many people, including me, don't go to Waffle Houses up and down the East Coast for their waffles (I don't particularly like waffles). We go there for the grits which have been, until now, predictably good. Okay, the grits were bad. What could make things worse? The failure of the "team" to express even the slightest understanding of the importance of doing grits right. This from a Waffle House? From a Waffle House in the South? Come on. I didn't expect these young people to fall over themselves to express personal grief over the abject failure, but the least they could do is say something to the effect that the Sun didn't rise that morning so they missed the boat and forgot to note the cooking time. Nope. Not even "Oh, my Gawd, Bless that short order cook's heart. He needs to go back to grit cook'n 101." Seriously guys. Mistakes happen. Most of us are not looking for anything other than acknowledgement and an apology for not getting it right. When customers leave wondering if the staff would prefer not even be POLITELY told about shortcomings, someone should get some retraining or a new job. Train the staff to express empathy. :-( read more

I never thought I would see the day that I would even step foot inside a Waffle House, let alone eat their food. I know that's a little harsh, but Waffle Houses in FL don't have a great rap. We evacuated here from Hurricane Irma and since this little diner had 5 star reviews on the food and outstanding customer service, we decided to give it a try. The reviews were nothing short of the truth, folks. This place is great! And honestly, I doubt any little cheap diner will ever live up to it. The food was good and the service was excellent. Stop off on exit 417! read more

Absolutely perfect service. Very friendly. There was actually effort in the food. It was so good. Friend and I were visiting from Charlotte and I was blown away with how good a Waffle House in the middle of nowhere was. read more

Good food always consistent. And be ready for home style breakfast along with ol fashion yelling. A bit loud for me this early in the am. But, I get it.... this is their stick and it seems to work well. The cook doesn't get a second breath.... Everybody's nice! One exception..... one gal unknown name but appears from her voice is from waaaaay up north..... she reminds me of the Gunny Sgt on Full Metal Jacket.... her orders are brass and even customers get a bit of it back. It's actually fun to watch. She's very nice and greets everybody walking in. Come here for some good Waffles or eggs... mine were perfect. Attten hut! read more

This definitely deserves 5 Stars. Exceptionally clean, friendly and fast, good food. Say what you want about Waffle House, but it was great! It's a great place to stop when on the road! read more

Fast service, but overall not one of the better Waffle Houses I've been in. I ordered Waffle, bacon, and hashbrowns.

A five star Waffle House? You bet! Everything was perfectly cooked by Randy just as promised by our server Nikki. You never know what to expect at the Waffle House, but I am happy to report that on our visit everything was delicious and the service was top notch. When my husband ordered a steak Nikki asked "how'd you like that cooked?" My response was jokingly, "Waffle House steaks come well done". Nikki replied "with randy cooking it will be whatever temp you'd like it". She was correct! Randy can indeed cook a medium Waffle House steak. Thanks for an awesome meal and service. read more

They never fail to amaze me. The staff is great and funny. Love this place.
