This is the second time I've been to this location. We were served by Sam both times. The first time she seemed a little standoffish. I shrugged it off thinking she had a bad day. We just went again today and experienced the same rude behavior. She's very nice but makes a few rude comments when you ask her for something that she wasn't planning on hearing. For instance I asked for some jam after some time and she responded with "I know how to do my job". I think she has a specific way of doing things and when they're not done in an order she gets a bit irritated. I didn't want to write this but she really has been rude to us for no reason. We've been respectful to her. Food is like any other waffle house. read more

We were traveling back from vacation when we decided to stop for something to eat. It's been a while since we were at a Waffle House so we decided to give it a try. The place was very busy and the wait was long. You could see everyone was working hard to keep the food moving and customers happy. Our waitress was very friendly and was able to answer our questions and make suggestions. (+1 Star for Service) Our food came promptly and hot. The food is reasonably priced. (+1 Star for quality, +1 Star for Value.) read more

Good hearty breakfast. Quick service. 1950s ambiance got me feeling nostalgic. I'd go back just for their grits & crispy bacon. Sometimes a dish of scrambled eggs. So good to eat breakfast at the Waffle House with my daughters when we get hungry at 2 am. read more

Although the staff is very understanding friendly and polite, this whole establishment is a mess... earlier this month a friend and I decided to eat at this establishment because we missed waffle house, huge mistake. The place was empty, there were many workers yet, all the tables were dirty, floors were sticky, sugar thrown everywhere, anything you could think of honestly. We went to the one table that was not dirty and sat down and ordered. As we got our food, we were exited to eat but then suddenly we found mold in our toast a few minutes into eating... There is no quality control in this store and even worse, mid eating a waffle, I saw 2 cockroaches walking around on the walls, I had to remain calm to not freak my friend and myself out. This waffle house is not what it used to be and seeing on the way out that there was pest control fumigating outside the establishment, I cant help but think how a place like this is open for business with a possible cockroach infestation. You can safely say that I will never be back. read more

Disgusting location. It's soo dirty and looks like they haven't wiped the floor in a brick! Food was cold. Waitress was rude and didn't want my friend to actually see the physical menu because of covid reasons. She wanted to scan the paperless menu, but my friends phone was having issues. I say skip this place! read more

Was left standing for 10 minutes waiting to be seated. There was only 4 people at two different tables in the entire restaurant. After being told we could sit at the bar (remember only two tables occupied) we waited another 10 minutes and no one even took a drink order. We got up and left and no one ever even spoke to us. And I tip really well at places like this. And we really love Waffle House. read more

Honestly my first time ever here and it's literally says online open 24 hours 7 days a week and 365 days a year and this shit was closed! How is it close it's only 9:44. We went trying to get in and the one guy and two girls working there said it was closed and just laughed and giggled! This is unacceptable and then another car pulled in and we just stayed to see what they would do and they were like kids. Two of them ran out the back door and into their cars giggling all the time while do so and the other worker got down underneath the counter and the group of friends that was trying to get in were just confused. It's just ridiculous. I can't say anything about the food but I can most definitely say something about the workers, they're immature for hiding just childish. Grown ass people. read more

I've heard that Waffle House locations are known to be dirty so I came here expecting just that. Boy, sticky tables and dirty floors all around. Our server was a total sweetheart and the food was fantastic so the good outweighs the bad! We ordered a ton of food and it was so cheap and delicious, i would say my favorite part was watching them make all of our food fresh after we ordered! Absolutely awesome place to eat if you can get past the ickiness! read more

I saw 8 people working, 6 of them standing around talking. The restaurant was about 1/3 full, but 100% of the empty tables had dirty dishes on them. There was zero sense of urgency to clean those tables. An employee acknowledged that a table needed to be cleaned off for us, but then she then wandered off and did other things. Employees were eating and drinking while they worked. Ugh. After ten minutes we left without ever getting a clean table. read more

It's a Waffle House. There are some things you come to expect, know and love. Service is good and fairly quick. And the food is dependable. My one complaint with my meal was that the hash browns were not the least bit crispy, but it may have been because we came smack in the middle of breakfast rush, so they were churning out plates really quickly. The one thing my snooty self can't get over is how unsanitary the place feels. Turn over is so quick that tables get a quick wipe down, leaving them wet and a little sticky. Everything feels just a little bit covered in grease. Which, I mean, is what you maybe expect. But, I can't imagine eating here if you really were a germophobe. read more

Waffle House never disappoints when you are craving a late night bfast meal!! Love this place! This time around, I got the hash brown bowl with philly cheese steak meat, grilled onions, and two over easy eggs! One of my foodie pet peeves are over cooked eggs when you ordered over easy...and one of mine were over cooked :( it was still delicious though but definitely would have been better if I had double the runny yokes for my meal. The blueberry waffles are also back now and they are delicioussss!! read more

We got a sausage bowl with an over easy egg and it was perfect. The cheesesteak bowl with extra crispy hash browns was also perfect. It was delivered to our car and we ate it in the parking lot.

Came by for a late night snack with my boys! Woah was this a surprise. So delicious, clean and fast fresh food. The chocolate chip, peanut butter are to die for. Actually melts in your mouth! The wise one helped us out and she gave us great suggestions. So good, bring the whole fam. Affordable too read more

Waffle House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

We love this Waffle House! The service is always good, the food is good and it's kept very clean.

As most WH's I've been to, this one holds the standard well. Busy Sunday mid day, got two counter seats quickly. The food came up hot and fast, and the waitress was friendly without attitude. This is exactly why Waffle House is the main exception I usually take for my "No Chain" rule when traveling. read more

Delicious pecan waffles are so addictive. Friendly service. The restaurants could look nicer with renovation.

Walked in with two other people and it was fairly crowded. The server who was seating ignored us the first time we tried to get her attention and then tried to walk past us the second time we asked how long it would be for three. She gave us a side eye and told us we could look around at the crowd of people and figure it out for ourselves, so we left ‍ no reason to give business to an establishment that's rude to customers read more

Never in a million years would I visit this restaurant. I went with a bunch of people who 'frequented' this place because they raved about the hashbrowns. They obviously haven't really tasted REAL food. The restaurant is filthy and the menu is terrible. It was one of those 'dark' periods of my life that I even step foot in there. The food was greasy and mediocre. I rather go to the original pancake house than this shithole. People who worked there were nice so I give them that. Plus it's all the way up Fingerboard near Urbana. read more

What a waste of time! Lazy staff that don't seem to care! Decided to stop here on the way through, and it started out fine. They looked pretty full, but we found a seat and a kind woman greeted us and talked to our children. After that, though... We were never served, not once in over 15 minutes. Multiple staff walked by us, even looked directly at us while we looked around for someone. We were even seated right next to the back office they all had to go in and out of! Not a single person asked if we needed anything or if we'd been served. They even ignored us as we got up, obviously never having eaten, and left. Worse, the place was half empty by the time we left, despite seeing almost a dozen staff hanging around! Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. We went to a different Waffle House, were greeted, and a server acknowledged us and took out order... all in less than 5 minutes. Forget this place; I've received better service from a McDonald's at 2 a.m. read more

Heather and Tanya did a great job. We had pancakes, eggs, and hash browns. Just what we needed.

When it comes to Waffle House, we usually grab our breakfast to go, and sit in the comfortable haze of 7am mornings, steamy waffles and cozy pajamas. Today it was suggested we actually dine-in, but I had no worries - I've had the take-out, so what's the big deal? The big deal is that while at home, I don't have to actually SEE my food being cooked by people who aren't washing their hands. Or watch my waitress make her personal meal, steadily munching away on a piece of bacon the entire time. I don't have to imagine who previously used my cup, as a piece of orange pulp floats up from the bottom of my Coca-cola. I don't have to cringe at the sticky syrup-coated syrup container that's obviously never gotten a thorough cleaning. Or wipe the table down myself b/c the staff couldn't be arsed to do it despite the fact that the place was empty. I could go on about the 'eh' hash browns, the high school cafeteria-grade burger, and the grease soaked bacon, but those issues were secondary compared to the general feeling of "ew" I got from this place. Sometimes, it just doesn't pay to see 'behind the curtain'. My Waffle House mornings at home are forever ruined. read more

So we were stuck in traffic and stopped to get a quick bite . My first impression was that the place was empty ,a lot of crew members and there are several tables that haven't been cleaned . Place looked very dirty . I am seriously concerned about the sanitation . read more

Have been here a few times during the pandemic, always gotten to go and been happy with the service and the food. Even when I'm only in there to order and pick up food, almost all the customers come in and greet the employees by their names, they're very well liked and always friendly. Food is always done quickly, fresh and no complaints. Would definitely recommend this location read more

The drive from out of state for waffles was disappointing. Today, only 1 of 4 waffles were cooked properly. Equipment needs repair; and/or the crew needs training. read more

For a Sunday brunch, this place was on the ball! While there was a wait, it was only 10 minutes for a group of four. All the wait staff was courteous and kind. They fulfilled our request of getting the waffles first and my crispy bacon. I would definitely visit this location for breakfast again! Of course I strongly recommend the waffles. The grits were lumpy and delicious too! read more

Exactly what you would expect from a Waffle House. $20 breakfast for 2 and you leave stuffed..... How can you beat that This Waffle House was much dirtier than other ones I have been to. All the tables needed to be bussed no one seemed to care we even walked in. Had to ask for a table to be bussed so we could even sit down. Even after that no one wanted to be our server. A young gentleman finally came over and asked if anyone had showed interest in being our server, we said no so he kindly picked us up as his table, and we were not his section. He was great. Quick service and always made sure our drinks were full. We got 2 All Star breakfasts Eggs were delicious - I got eggs over medium he had scrambled Toast was nice and buttery Hashbrowns - covered super cheesy and large portion. Bacon was nice and crispy. Waffle was a little skimpy wasn't very fluffy and was pretty flat. But still good. But it's WH not going to be a 5 star breakfast. Nice and quick. Left full and satisfied. read more

As usual, great diner-type food. Fell in love with these restaurants when I was in the military and every time my travels lets me I stop on for my favorite. Well-done hash browns and a waffle (well done of course. My only suggestion is if u want your waffle well done tell them "crispy". Still the best waffle!! :) read more

Waffle House - Their new dark roast...yum - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Ive given this location a try multiple times before making this review....Who is on the grits? Fire them! Every time I come the grits are TERRIBLE, lumpy and butterless...I'll stick to the waffle houses in the more southern states. This location is where grits come to die. read more

Its always so cold in here and its like summer so no one puts on a jacket so everyone is freezing

Visited our baby niece in Urbana. We've heard nothing short of great reviews from this place so it was definitely on our list to try it out. We ordered a bit of everything. Waffles (super yummy with strawberry jam!), bacon, hash browns smothered, covered & peppered and cheese grits (topped with tabasco!). We went back for a second time before going back home just to taste their goodness one more time. Can't wait to go back! read more

Breakfast is very good, and inexpensive unlike other places, I thought I had more variety on the waffles as it is called Waffles House but you only have 3 flavors. Very friendly staff. read more

Stopped by this roadside diner during our summer vacation. The nationwide chain restaurant would hopefully be a sure thing! The diner is located next to a gas station and is pretty busy. We wandered in for lunch as many travelers were leaving and paying their bill. The place had 3 cooks, 5 servers and 1 bus boy, and was a dirty mess. None of the staff made eye contact with us or made an effort to clear a table for us. We watched as 2 older servers chatted at the counter and were obviously too busy to clear the dishes on the counter or give direction to the younger staff to start clearing tables. Seems these gals were more interested in conversation versus serving customers. As weary travelers, we chose to stick it out. A nice young bus boy cleared the table and we were seated. The male server was polite and helpful. Needless to say, the place is super small, so we had plenty of time to watch the staff that afternoon. There was no sense of teamwork or leadership. Customers wait at the cash register to pay their bill, but none of the staff is in a hurry to accept payment. Seriously lacking in customer service, they don't mention to the customer that someone will be right with them or greet the customer that has been waiting to be recognized as employees walk by ignoring them. Seems the two of the servers have very specific job descriptions that justify their limited responsibilities to just working the counter and chatting. As we sat in the restaurant, we watched in amazement how the unengaged staff needed direction from a supervisor. As a party of 8 walked in, the staff planned to seat the group in the corner, so they could all sit together. Unfortunately, the server assigned to those tables objected because a group of 8 would be too much work for her. She asked if staff would seat them elsewhere. Whoa! Missing out on good tips...too bad. Waffle House, time to spend money on training and supervision read more

I came here to write a review about how dirty this location is, but I see reviews about this very issue go way back, so obviously the workers at this location do not care. Very disappointing. My quick review--avoid this place. Grimy, unclean, dirty. My husband killed THREE ants on the counter. Go to another location. read more

It was okay. Wasn't anything special. The menu never changes. There's really not much to this place. If you want good food go elsewhere. If you want bland and fast go to wafflehouse read more

Waffle House - Open for breakfast on this rainy day - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

for the price you cannot beat waffle house. The food is mainly breakfast fair- sausage, eggs, bacon, hash browns. The atmosphere reflects the price. Down south in Georgia and Louisiana it has a more refined clientele. The food never changes-fattening, high calorie but great if you are on the Atkins diet. I have had a few altercations with the staff over minor things such as coffee tasting like it has a cigar dropped in it- being charged for stuff that wasn't mine. etc. I can't really remember but I have gone to place over the years and it doesn't seem to really change. The coffee used to be out of this world, I wish they would just put cream and milk in their own containers and allow one the freedom to do it yourself as I have wished within Dunkin Donuts. I cannot stand the trash from opening tiny creamer containers- which contain a drop of cream so one has to keep opening these tiny creamers. I don't what else to offer these places why do we make tiny creamer packages to begin with? it must be so much cheaper to use a full bottle of stupid creamer. read more

This Waffle House has good vibes and the food taste great! I ate the bacon , steak and cheese melt. I forgot to order an egg and my server went back right away and fixed my egg with love! My sever , Sam "the wise one" , was fantastic. She was attentive and friendly. Ask for her if you stop by this location! read more

My husband and I had a very interesting discussion about this Waffle House. You see, we're both amazingly huge fans of the Waffle House. To start with, it's usually less busy then IHOP or Pancake House. It has the most amazingly delicious hashbrowns. And it's set up like a greasy spoon, so you can sit at the counter and watch your food being prepared. So you can see how we are fans. But it wasn't until yesterday, that we realized that while we are a fan of Waffle House *food*...we are very rarely fans of Waffle House itself. I know, confusing right? You had to be there. But let me try to break this down. This particular Waffle House is our usual go-to spot. Although it's technically in Frederick, it's more like Urbana - which isn't *that* much closer, but it's right off of 270, and because it's out in the boonies (as opposed to the WHs in Frederick proper), that there is rarely a wait. There are menus at each table and at the counter, so once you find a seat, you can start perusing the offerings - but if you're new to the Waffle House experience, let me make it easy for you: order the hashbrowns. You'll want at least a double...and you will want all of the various toppings - EXCEPT the chili. If you are desirous of other items - by all means, go and order...however, with almost all Waffle Houses (and I've been to a considerable number of them) - and especially this one - the following rules are true: 1) Do not get fancy with your order. Don't ask for 5minute-egg. Don't ask for egg-whites only omelettes. Don't ask if they have turkey bacon. It's not that kind of place. Don't embarrass yourself by asking for such nonsense. 2) If you order the steak and eggs, the server will ask you how you will like the steak done. This is a trick question, because all steak is cooked to well. It'll be tasty - but don't expect it to be rare, or medium or anything less then well. Accept this, and you will be a much happier person. See rule #1 3) Do not ask for your waffle to be extra crispy. You will either get a normal waffle or get one burnt beyond belief. See rule #1. 4) Do not ask for things "on the side". They will look at you funny - and end up forgetting to bring it to you. Again, see rule #1. 5) Don't order the desserts. If you want something sweet - order a waffle. This is WAFFLE HOUSE after all...not Pie House. The desserts have been sitting there since 1987. You don't want it. Trust. So even knowing these rules...even yet, things still go awry. To illustrate: a) All 3 times that I have ordered waffles (I usually skip waffles and go for the hashbrowns), I have never ever gotten my waffle with the rest of my order. I have had to always remind the server that I'm missing a waffle...and once, my waffle came half missing and completely burnt. b) 50% of the time, my hashbrowns will come with cheese - even though I didn't ask for cheese. When I point this out to the server, I get a completely blank stare. c) On this past Sunday, my husband couldn't finish his Papa Joe's pork chop plate and asked for a box. Our server came by with a parchment sheet that one would use to wrap up sandwiches with. Yeah. You read that right. I think the main problem is the High School Musical drama that is going on with the servers. As far as I can tell, the blonde girl with the piercings is *really* into the guy with the dreadlocks, but we think that she and the guy with the brown hair had a thing going on once. Dreadlocks guy is crushing on the girl with the black hair, but she's not interested as anything but friends. Blah blah blah. Lots of giggling and flirting going on...which is probably why our orders are always so screwed up. However, there is a bright ray of light in this place - which is why we always keep coming back (well, that and the yummy food): the guy at the meat grill and egg station. On the weekends, there is a guy at the grill - medium build, brown hair with moustache. He is always hungover on Sunday mornings, but he keeps this place together, cuts through the servers' shenanigans, and slings out food like it's the only thing keeping him alive. He is awesome, amazing, and watching him in action is like watching a ballet. Only with bacon. So yeah, this place is a bit of a hot mess...however, the food is filling, fairly cheap, and will hit the spot as long as you follow the rules. The servers are all completely useless, but the guy at the grill makes it all worthwhile. Try sitting at the counter, and watch the magic happen. And seriously...get the hashbrowns. Just...get them. read more

The food was acceptable. The server was nice and remembered to refill my soft drink, yet that is where the niceness ended from my experience. The server was completely absent mentally otherwise, asking if we needed to see a menu when there were none there and served us our waffle without offering syrup. After waiting several minutes, I finally had to get up to get it myself from the counter and ask more forks. I did ask for no cheese or bacon on my sandwich, which was fulfilled, but then the rest of what should have been on there was not there either - just the bun and meat. I had to ask for lettuce and tomato afterwards. There were only two other tables with customers (due to COVID-19 and being only partially open), but they also were ignored for too long and were visibly getting agitated at being unserved. Don't go here until management changes. read more
