The food here was excellent I loved it so much. The waffles and the hashbrowns have captured my heart. China was my waitress and she was so kind and helped me out when I had a personal issue and her service was amazing. I loved everything about this waffle house and it's so much better than ihop. The music selection was entertaining and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks again China you're a lifesaver ! read more

Waffle House is the place for a consistent breakfast experience. The service is fair, but fast. There is no ambiance, except for what one might expect a Waffle House to look like. Eat the food, it's good! read more

Would not recommend this waffle house to my worst enemy. To start, they gave us our water in dirty cups. then when we received the first half of our cold food, we couldn't eat it because we had no utensils. after waiting about 10 minutes for our waitress who continuously ignored us, despite making eye contact whenever we called for her, we had to get up and grab our own plastic utensils from the front of the restaurant. when we finally recieved the second half of our food, our waffles, they were not whole. like they were literally missing chunks. it tasted fine tho. 2/10 read more

Waffle House - Dumfries - waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dumfries, Virginia

1. My online order was more than 45 minutes late: it hadn't been put in when I arrived after the scheduled pick up time, I was told it would be a 15 minute wait, then 15 minutes passed and my order still had not been started, I was told it would be another 15 minute wait..... 2. After receiving my order 35 minutes after expected, it had to be sent back twice, once for an incorrect order and then again for missing food. 3. While I was waiting, I watched 2 out of 4 of the waitresses on their phone not acknowledging people as they walked in and waited to be seated. Watched other groups sitting at tables waiting for their orders to be taken. Watched 3 groups of people decide not to wait and walk out. Also watched the cooks place raw bacon on the grill and then with the same gloves grab cooked food to put on plates. When expressing my frustration I received nothing more than a sorry. This is the closest Waffle House to me and for years I've driven the 30 miles since the service and experience used to be worth it, but the last couple times I came I noticed new faces and a decline in service. I'm very very sad that today's experience was enough to not come back to this location. I would recommend others to pass this location and go a further distance to another Waffle House, I'll be doing the same. read more

This is the closest location in the DMV. It's small but they really get you in and out. Downside is that it gets so crowded on the weekends and every time we come we almost always have a wait to be seated. Good thing is that it isn't a typically long wait. read more

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

I absolutely love waffle house so I definitely would give it five out of five. There was actually no problems I just had to remind our waiter a few times about something and she let me know that it was absolutely no bother, and she gave me the southern hospitality that you would expect. Our food was amazing. I absolutely love the waffles there. It was actually really busy when we went so I can understand why the service wasn't the best but the waiter and I exchanged laughs and I continued to have an amazing time. The ambience was that of a quick turnaround restaurant so I was appeased . read more

Sat in the restaurant for 20 minutes and no one took my order. They should completely get rid of this Waffle House because it's giving the brand a bad name, and that's saying a lot. By far, the worst waffle I have ever been to. read more

I had a decent experience at this Waffle House. My experience was more or less on par with other Waffle Houses (primarily in Hampton Roads, VA), which has been good, that I have visited over the years. Our waitress, Tammy, was pretty good with taking our orders and following up with us. Our food came out pretty fast, and it was everything that we expected. I wonder if this is a super popular Waffle House location in the Dumfries area. When we arrived around 11 am on a weekday, we were a bit surprised that pretty much all of the seats were occupied. Fortunately, for us, we managed to grab the last booth so we did not have to wait for seat. During our next road trip, we hope to visit this location again...especially since it's the closest one to us (even though it's about 30 miles away). read more

This is always a staple whenever we travel down the southern coast. This is basically fast food comfort food. There is limited seating but we were able to get a few seats at the counter which is totally fine with me. Service was excellent and our orders came out with minutes. It was borderline amazing. And the food wasn't just sitting around pre-made; I watched them prepare everything. Everything is fresh, waffles are very good and the price point can't be beat. Just remember to get some onions, peppers (which are jalapeño... my kid found out the hard way) or cheese and you have an excellent breakfast during your drive. read more

This was actually a second visit to this particular Waffle House; we were disappointed that the indoor dining doesn't open until 6 AM, considering it's open for 24 hours. I'm thinking it's because the chain is trying to avoid all the craziness that occurs during certain hours! Waffle House offers breakfast plates, hashbrown bowls, waffles, biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, Texas melts, sandwiches, burgers, and eve lunch/dinner options. We ordered: +the Two Egg Breakfast - eggs with toast, jelly, and a side of hashbrowns or grits; the hubs opted for scrambled eggs with hashbrowns +built-your-own hashbrowns - I had it 'smothered' (sauteed with onions) and 'double covered'(with melted cheese), adding in jalapenos; the cheese was a bit coagulated, and both the onions and the diced jalapenos were just super minimal; edges of the hashbrowns were crispy, but could have been more crispy overall, as I did request this to be extra crispy There is a separate order and a pick-up window; orders took about 15 minutes, and the staff is pretty good in recognizing you/your vehicle if you're waiting for your order. Don't forget to request ketchup and/or hot sauce; these come in individual packs. Plenty of parking. +order and pick-up windows available +indoor dining doesn't begin until 6 AM +parking available read more

Please go to this place if you love breakfast!!! I ordered two eggs and sausage sandwich. The sandwich was flavorful!

Beware, from 830pm-600am they only have TO GO service. You CANNOT sit in! The 'waitress' didn't come to the pickup window after I knocked thrice. I witnessed a man walked up to the pickup window and she didn't respond to him either. By the time I pulled off, he was waiting at the order window and she still hadn't turned around. Unless it's before 830pm, DO NOT seek out this location. read more

This Waffle House is located on Route 234 in Dumfries, VA - right off I-95. It's the closest Waffle House to where I live - the next closet Waffle Houses to Haymarket are Fredericksburg, VA and Charles Town, WV... I stopped in for a late breakfast. As others have noted - this is not the cleanest place. I sat at the counter area - on the left hand side - which is lower than the rest of the counter seats. I ordered coffee, plus a Sausage, egg, and cheese bowl over hash browns, and a side of bacon. The food took about 15 minutes to come up - the bowl came up first. BUT - the bowl they delivered to me was not what I ordered. The bowl I was given had bacon in it - not the sausage I ordered. But I was so hungry - that I did not want to wait another 15 minutes for them to correctly remake my order. The hash browns on top were crispy - but the potatoes farther down were a little on the gummy side - they needed to be crispier. I asked for hot sauce and ketchup - the only hot sauce they have is Tabasco sauce - so I added some of that, salt and pepper, and ketchup to the bowl. Overall, a tasty bowl, even made incorrectly. They had music playing through the overhead speakers - that was turned up so loud - I had to speak very loudly to my server. I then asked if they could reduce the volume. I was told apologetically - that they could not turn it down - as no one could find the remote. I almost left - it was really loud. Eventually someone managed to turn the music off about halfway through my meal. I was done eating the bowl by the time the side of bacon arrived. Service was average. Paid with Apple Pay, tipped in cash. #WaffleHouse read more

This is the closest Waffle House location to Washington DC. This has always been my go-to location for the convenience. However, the quality of the food, the cleanliness, and the customer service can be hit or miss depending on who's working that shift. Wait times can be elevated, tables can be sticky, and servers can be unintentive and rude. However, my most recent visit was for a to-go order, which took a bit, but it wasn't too bad. The food was typical. I always expect more from this location, as I'm sure they're making money from all of the people who are traveling on the interstate, as well as those who are from the Washington DC area looking for that Waffle House, the traditional Waffle House experience. read more

Clean & Friendly. I stop at this particular Waffle House every two weeks when I come to visit my grand kids. There is normally a long line and a packed house. But I never wait too long for my carry out order. The staff is so friendly and "Twist" is an absolute joy to interact with. I've never had to return anything, EVERYTHING has been perfect for me each time I go. The food is good the grits are seasoned perfectly. This Waffle House reminds me why I miss them so much when I moved more north! read more

Waffle House - Dumfries - Outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dumfries, Virginia

Well, apparently after 8:30pm, I shudnt try to eat here. 8:30pm-6am is To Go Only. Someone was at the window, and 2 other persons were inside whn I drove up; however, the one disappeared as I walked up to the window. I stared at the menu in the window for several minutes and I am ready to order. Subsequently, no one was present to whom I cud give my order. I counted down 5 more seconds and walked away. I opened Yelp and, to my surprise, 4 more ppl came out of the bk in uniform. I have rarely been so disappointed and ashamed to attempt to quench hunger & thirst only to be silently ignored. The ultimate rejection in life is when you dont know why. Thanks Waffle House, 17137 Dumfries Rd in Dumfries off of I-95. Message received. O. R. read more

What could improve? Hairnets, sanitation, more training. We sat and watched one of the cooks sweep food off the counter with his hands, with the same gloves "he never once changed in our time there" he resumed to cooking & touching all over the food, touched someone's to-go orders with those same gloves. Food quality: The grits had chunks the size of golf balls. When returning it's like they had attitudes. Meat was undercooked had to send that back. How do you serve undercooked porkchops? Pork bacon, chicken sausage all good on grills at same time. They had one young cook "guy with braces" who could definitely use a raise. He was tentative to everything. Kept his gloves changed, cleaned..they definitely need more like him there. Then you have the girls with no hair nets, rubbing through there hair, not washing there hands or putting gloves on before touching plates. read more

It's not 24 hours! You can only dine in from 6AM to 8PM. Take out only the other hours.

I literally waited for 2 hours just to get my food that I ordered online. I watched as people that came after me get their food, finish, pay, and then leave. At the end I just walked out and went to McDonalds. I live far and had to miss church because I waited so long. Never coming here again. read more

I came in 12-3-2025 around 1:00pm first of all, they leave your food uncovered, just done and sitting on the table too long. I ordered two egg and sausage sandwiches on wheat toast, one of the sandwiches, they forgot to put the egg on it! They thought I didn't see it, I'm very observant, he, the cook, he grabbed egg off of a personal plate and put it on the one missing the eggs! Also, the cook touches too many dirty things, with the same gloves he's picking up food with, without changing them.. very unsanitary.. I believe I just waisted 20 bucks. I paid in cash, because I don't think I'll even eat the food! Very bad experience for an over the road driver, who just wanted something to eat! I don't trust it.. very lazy crew.. thanks read more

We're from FL where there are Waffle Houses everywhere, here in VA, not so much. We drove 30 min for this location and were NOT disappointed! From the service, the smiles, the energy and of course the food, we felt like we were back home!! We will definitely be back! Thank you to everyone there for making this pregnant woman and her hubby happy!! read more

Terrible service ir took an hour for me to get a to go order of 3 ítems. would never go back here again read more

Terrible experience!!! We have frequented this location for years, experiencing good service and food. That was not the case this morning! We were completely ignored and eventually left! There seems to have been a whole sale turnover of staff which probably means new management and previous staff left. We believe that we were likely snubbed because we are caucasian. What a shame. read more

Love this place. Spent my "unique" twenties, going here after the bars shut down. Nothing solves a potential hangover like Waffle House. Was so happy when Anthony Bourdain, spoke so pleasantly about this chain. The employees here continue excellence. This past visit server was phenomenal. Love how the staff sing beautifully, while they cook waffles, hash browns, bacon, and other dishes. Truly a friendly group of ladies, whom made me feel right at home. My only complaint is minor. There aren't a lot of parking spots. Other than that, it's what I remembered it. Good food made in front of you, for a very reasonable cost. This is a true diner environment. Come as you are, and the coffee still is strong and tasty. Enjoyed the meal and time here. Will be returning soon, as definitely was a stroll down memory lane. Definitely go here. read more

My son Troy loves chocolate chip Everything. Especially chocolate chip pancakes at IHOP or any where they're served for that matter. In all this time he's never had chocolate chip waffles. So we stopped in at this waffle house. All waffle houses are pretty much the same for me, however, the team at this waffle house specifically Ms.Lexie our waitress, Uncle Boo grill master and Mr. Tristan, the Manager made this visit great. Ms. Lexie was attentive but still showed great multitasking skills and professionalism, Uncle Boo was a whirl on the grill and Mr. Tristan was a team player ensuring that everything ran smoothly and this teamwork was readily apparent. Needless to say anytime my son needs his next chocolate chip breakfast craving, this waffle house will be our go-to. read more

The one Waffle House to avoid. Slow service, no drink refills, cold food, bad attitudes. Waited almost and hour for drinks. Food came a little while after. Order was somewhat wrong (eggs all came scrambled). Had to ask for condiments (had to get up and approach waitress, Sylvia). Waffles were cold and not served with syrup (grabbed a syrup container off the diner/bar). Other customers were pretty unhappy as well. Odd, as there were no less than 6 employees about. Will not return to this locale. read more

Ambiance, action, thrill, theatre. This is Waffle House has it all. Although I've occasionally (less than 5% of the time) gotten the odd wrong thing in my order, I've never once minded. The people are incredibly hard working, kind, and courteous, and deserve the world. I come here so often that I'm starting to learn the names of the staff, which just goes to show how delicious and affordable their food is. I cannot sing their praises enough! read more

This location is extremely slow for the amount of workers. This is coming from someone who worked food service for four years. They have a lot of people there, but they could be better employed to get things moving faster. They were often standing around, crowding, doing less than they could be. Wait to dine in was 45 minutes so we chose to order to go. Stood in front for 15 mins w/o anyone taking our order. Then ordered online, with a 20 minute wait. The order wasn't ready for an additional 30 minutes after. read more

I got here at 2pm, seated at 210pm, got a menu at 215pm and it is now 249pm and I got my tea and place my order and that's it. Everyone else here at the low bar is still waiting on their food. There are 7 people working in the kitchen. What in the world are they doing back there? Is anyone in charge here? Completely clueless! I got my waffle at 253pm, bacon at 257pm and hash browns finally at 307pm. There were 2 ladies that got seated when I did and they still didn't have ANY food in over an hour. There were at least 4 tables that had plates on them that needed clearing and people were waiting to get seated. When I went to pay, there were only 3 people working in the kitchen. There was no one that appeared to be a manager or in charge anywhere. This Waffle House used to be good with great, fast service. No idea what has happened, but I won't be returning any time in the future. read more
