We came during brunch rush so it was pretty crowded and busy, but not too loud. Amazingly, we were able to find seats at the counter. Brittney helped us out and was kind all throughout, even apologizing when things were running a bit slow or when a coworker accidentally messed up on one of the orders, even though we knew it was busy and were doing okay! We were honestly served pretty quickly, and were ready to wait but only had to wait just a bit. I got my signature ham, sunny side up eggs, & cheese hash brown bowl and even added biscuits and gravy this time. Although I loved my bowl as usual, I wasn't the biggest fan of the biscuits and gravy -- it tasted slightly stale and a bit flavorless so not my favorite. Nevertheless I'm still happy with this Waffle House and they surpassingly got everyone in and out pretty quick before the next little rush! We'll most likely come back again :) read more

Madison was amazing and the costumer service was amazing. Pancakes ate. Madison deserves a raise

Waffle House, Havelock N.C. Saturday right before lunch and it was very busy. I was seated right away, coffee was excellent (it always is). Establishment was clean and the staff courteous. I had a breakfast sandwich on Texas toast. A+ food was excellent. read more

Waffle House - Excellent Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

Did not feel welcomed here. We waited to be seated, and no one acknowledged us. My mother went to ask a lady, about seating and she completely ignored her. She asked the lady again about seating and she had a attitude. When we got seated, she took our order and still had a attitude. When more people walked in they were welcomed by the staff. Will NOT come back. read more

Food good but the service was great our waiter Jessica, was very attentive to our drinks and talking with her is always a treat. She's is doing a great job read more

Never been to one, heard lots of good things. But none of the other things you should know.... Me and a group of seasoned patrons tried out the Waffle House here in Havelock. As soon as we walked in we were punched in the face with a bad odor. Was it bad food? Neglected plumbing? A rotting rodent? I was starting to have doubts but we were all starving and just worked a long hard day... I sat in a booth and looking out the window we could see on the outside ledge of said window was the fecal matter of some animal, very dirty. The floor was sticky the kitchen area was a wreck. Lost my appetite and won't be back. Clean up!!!!! No management or pride I could see anywhere!!! So disappointed, not sure I will try another Waffle House anywhere else. Turned me off of this place. read more

The service was quick and the food was delicious. They are like a well oiled machine. Definitely one of the best Waffle House experiences I've had. read more

I'm only in NC for the weekend and I've never been to a Waffle House, so this was a must! I wasn't disappointed in my two visits at all! The staff was super friendly. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. It's very affordable as well. Love! read more

Went at 2 pm march eight 2022....Waitress messed up the order....How hard is a waffle and two eggs sunny side up? Coffee tasted like it was made with tea added. Tables need to be bussed and cleaned. The place was not busy the employees were just lazy....This is the first time this has happened here. Usually clean and responsive establishment. Too bad even Waffle House is sliding downhill...... read more

Went for an early breakfast and the staff was very friendly and the food was good. Had scrambled eggs with bacon, grits and toast. My husband had the same minus the grits. The coffee was tasty as well. read more

This is the worst Waffle House that I have been to. Do not order food to go, you get tiny portions and it's cold. Do not eat here.

Chocolate chip waffles are awsome I love them, I could eat chocolate chip waffles for breakfast lunch and dinner

Never going back to this location and don't think I want to try another one either. This place was dirty. The silverware and tables were dirty. The food came out slow and hanging off of the plate. The employees just go on and on about their personal lives. The best thing: The Blueberry Waffle. YUM WAIT. I guess this is a great place if maybe you've been there forever and you're used to that sort of service. Me? Check please! read more

Food was good and fast. No complaints here. Haven't had Waffle House in years and today they did not disappoint.

Waffle House is pretty comfortable just being Waffle House. ************************************************************** My Grandpa and I came here for breakfast last week. The place was crowded with happy people and there were 5 people patiently waiting for tables to open up. The service was super-friendly and we had some nice conversation with our waitress as well as another regular. This particular Waffle House was very clean so things have definitely changed since the review someone left in 2008. The first time I ate at Waffle House was at 2am on a road trip to Nashville with a friend. I remember watching a lady with teeth missing cooking my waffle with a cigarette in her mouth. Now things have come a little ways since then. They no longer allow smoking in-house from workers or customers. I personally didn't mind having something that would keep all the self-righteous non-smokers out but as it stands I make the case that Waffle House has enough qualities of its own to keep out people who don't jive with its attitude. A lot of people knock Waffle House. I am pretty adamant about my love for the place and many people respond with an equally adamant dislike. They complain that it's dirty, the food is greasy, or that it's kind of loud. To which I respond, "And...?" Waffle House is pretty comfortable just being Waffle House. It's a place with booths that bring you closer together to the people you're eating with. There's no separation between customers and workers so that you can hear what the workers are talking about and they can hear what you're talking about. You can see your food cooking. You can hear your food cooking. The workers are usually engaged in conversation and sometimes downright enjoying themselves. They usually don't mind you joining in either. Occasionally they're in a tired or bad mood because it's 6am and they've been working since midnight. Okay, I would be too. There's a jukebox in every Waffle House so you can put a dollar in and choose some tunes to play. This is actually kind of fun at 2am on a road trip. Watch out for the Waffle House songs which I think have an old-time charm to them. The workers have heard them so many times they might moan in agony as they hear one start. This is what Waffle House is. People who are all about this, LOVE Waffle House. People who don't stay away. Sounds fine to me. It's nothing new though. People who are themselves end up with people who like them and people who don't. That's how people end up with real friends who like them for who they are. Waffle House has a ton of REAL friends who simply love Waffle House for who and what it is. *I always get a chocolate chip waffle and a coke with cherry syrup. My grandpa gets a waffle with over-easy eggs on top. Everyone who goes here regularly seems to have their own go-to meal. read more

We hit up the Waffle House on a Sunday morning, so it was super busy with that "after church crowd." The joint was jumping, but we snagged the last two spaces at the bar. (Many others ordered take-out.) There were many very cool breakfast plates to choose from and the prices weren"t bad at all. My waffles had an exciting fruit topping and our food was tasty. PS. Yummy hot cocoa! xoxo read more

Servers are nice food was good until I found 2 pieces of hair in my sandwhich. Yuck!!!!Didn't bother finishing the rest of my food or sending it back. Only reason it's getting 2 stars because our server was a sweetheart. read more

We called trying to place an order for about an hour they never picked up, when we got there it wasn't busy at all and they took forever to take our order and then the cook finally came in from the back and started cooking, I told them about the phone situation and nobody apologized or said why they wouldn't answer, wouldn't recommend this place at all, save your time and drive 10 extra minutes to the next Waffle House, you'll probably save time. read more

YUEERRR, yo this place be BUSSIN Nathaniel hands down the best cook to ever step foot in Waffle House PERIODT.

My husband and i are regulars at the waffle house, very comfortable, good reasonable priced food. The person who serves us at the bar is always very nice and generous. read more

Waffle House - All Star Breakfast wit my husband - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Havelock, North Carolina

I gave this location a 1 star only because I couldn't go lower ‼. Food sat in pass so long it was on ice cold, had to have them remake part of meal. Drinks weren't refilled, shoot it wasn't even offered. Regulars however were greeted & served right away. Had to ask numerous times for basic items, that's when & if I could get someone's attention. Last but certainly not least let me add there were only 4 tables ( including counter ) to be served read more

Good food, friendly staff, fast service, and very affordable. The only negative I have for the place is it's cleanliness, or lack thereof. If the place was cleaner, it would be a much more appealing place to dine in. Thankfully they offer takeout. read more

The food is AMAZING, the service is TERRIBLE! The servicers there are always awful. We have to ask for refills on our drinks, then get ugly looks when we do like we interrupted there conversation. Today I had a waitress who was very ditsy, she came while we were in the middle of eating our food, left our check ( no big deal) but then asked if we wanted to go boxes, and took the syrup before we had even started on our waffles! I just got up and grabbed another syrup. When we had to wave down someone for a refill, they were all on the other side talking to each other, ignoring customers. Once we got their attention we got this shocked look like they didn't know what a refill was. The food always tastes good, but I would love to actually give a tip to the cook instead of the waiter who does an awful job. read more

Wow the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. The Cook "Chris" (longer brown hair middle aged white dude) was beyond rude he completely messed up my order and didn't listen to the waitress(long brown hair kinda short) when she told him my order, she then told him it was a problem and he proceeded to be rude to me and tell me just to throw it out, they threw my food away and didn't offer to remake the wrong items, another waitress that wasn't ours asked if she should ask if I want something else and then the cook told her not to worry about it. They still charged us for the eggs we never got and there was dirty stuff in his water, run, run away from this place read more

I've been here a few times, and for the most part, yuck. First time I go in, I sit at the counter. The glass I got had more waffle batter in and around it than milk, most of the servers were out back or doing whatever, and while I was trying to eat, a employee started doing the dishes, splattering water on me and my food. I paid and walked out after that. read more

Wishy washy some cooks are on point some make me wish i went to McDonald's ..food get left out waffles look like pancakes...flavor is always great!!. read more

Ate here for breakfast/lunch on a friday and it was pretty empty. The employee's were very upbeat and friendly. The food came out pretty fast and was of a good quality. We left stuffed. Lots of delicious items to choose from here. read more

This location is always crowded, dirty, and food doesn't seem as good as other Waffle House locations. Once I was with a friend and we both decided to grab some late night grub- the place was PACKED with the rowdiest group of people who were clearly high/drunk. They were making the rest of the patrons uncomfortable but were not asked to leave. Hello, management? I avoid this location and prefer the New Bern location off Hwy 70. read more

It's been years since we ate at a Waffle House and they didn't disappoint. Our server was fantastic. I wanted crispy bacon and when the cook gave him my plate he asked her to put it back on the grill cuz it was supposed to be crispy. What great attention to detail and a very pleasant young man. His name was Joe read more

I am guessing this place has gotten better over the years. My family and I love this place. The food is fast and has always hit the spot. The employees are always nice and like to strike up conversations with the kiddos. I give it a thumbs up for short-order breakfast. read more

We always stop by on the way home after spending a weekend at the beach. Saw the parking lot almost full, which is a good sign. But seeing a restaurant grade a B-88 on May 2017. We gave it a try. The cooks wore gloves, server prompt & polite. Food was ok. We had raisin toast, the apple butter tasted mediciney. Need another brand. read more

My family and I have always enjoyed Waffle Houses wherever we travel to, but sadly this one in the town we live in was terrible. When we tried it (the only time we tried it), the sanitation was bad, the service was bad, and the food was wasn't great. Also, one of the workers was 'cleaning' the floor with a hose and water squirted from the floor onto the grill where food was cooking. absolutely disgusting! read more

I don't know if there is a point in giving this place another bad review, but what the heck, just incase someone is listening. I haven't been to a waffle house in about three years and I didn't want to go then, but it wasn't as bad as this one. I ordered a grilled cheese and hashbrowns with onions and a fountain drink. First, I am not a large portion eater, I can go to Wendy's get the dollar menu chicken sandwich and value fry and not even finish the fry and be full, when I was done eating I was still so hungry, I even ate some of my wife's waffle and a strip of bacon. I get a grilled cheese at sonic and a small fry and I'm good for 4 hours. The waffle houses grilled cheese looked really pitiful and like someone sat on it before serving it. I have also never seen hashbrowns come in sizes, I just ordered hashbrowns, didn't say a size, and the portion was so small. My wife got the all star breakfast and it looked pitiful, for starters it's called the waffle house and this is the biggest best waffle they can produce? It fit and was served on a desert plate not a normal dinner plate. The eggs were small ,heck everything was small. My wife didn't get her coffee until she ate half of her food then had to get up and ask for it. Our waitress only came to the table to take our order and slap the check on the table and ran off never ask if we needed anything else, how our food was, or do we need a refill. They have this deal 15 meals for 5 dollars each, on a small separate menu, one of those items is a bacon grilled cheese and a side of hashbrowns and a beverage, I was charged $4.25 for my grilled cheese then $.45 for onions in the hashbrowns then $1.80 for a drink, what the heck did I order? does anyone else see a problem with that? Minus the bacon add the onions and it's the same thing. And there crappy coffee cost $1.80. Let's just say the waitress lost her tip to bad math and lack of service. Stay in school kids.
