    Gotta grade Waffle House on a scale for Waffle House. There aren't many 24 hour food institutions left in this world, and particularly for Indianapolis. Service here is quick, fast, and friendly. Tables are in okay condition, though you can tell the crew here can get overwhelmed during peak business as several hotels, the airport, and warehouses are nearby. This location shifts to takeout only from 8:30pm to 5am daily

    Eggs bacon and hash browns.

    Located across the street from the Residence Inn (airport). This is a small restaurant, but excellent communication from your server. Affordable pricing, and delicious breakfast items. I recommend their 2 egg, bacon, hash browns, with toast for $10.59! I recommend adding coffee and upgrading your hash browns with ham and cheese!

    Myranda moved like there were no customers and she was bored. I waited probably 20 minutes to put in my order, which was only that fast because I started stopping people as they went by me to ask to order. She took my order like it was an annoyance. Then, when the food was ready she tried to give me a different table's order. After my meal I saw a new customer sitting and looking around for a long time, also waiting for someone to acknowledge him; meanwhile Myranda ambled back-and-forth past him looking bored but not acknowledging him. The other staff members were hustling as if it were the packed 10am Sunday morning that it was -- especially Lydia who was expediting and moving full speed like all the cooks and everyone else. This was my second visit, the first time was awesome with a server named Jamie. Seems the trick is to come when she's working. The food was solid. The ambience was what you'd expect of a waffle house, kind of lower cost acceptable.

    Flys everywhere

    Flys everywhere, ghetto employees trying to fight each other, empty building (most likely because of the service), it took forever for me to get my food, the mop water smelt horrible when my sister spilled a drink, almost all the seats were dirty so it was hard for me and my family to find somewhere to sit, whole place is just overall bad.

    If you're staying at one of the adjacent hotels and don't have a car, Waffle House is your main choice for breakfast. I'd never been to one, but a former co-worker from the south has use to rave about the place. So today was my first Waffle House experience. I was expecting something like a Dennys. In reality, it's closer to Mel's Diner (the old TV show, I've just dated myself!). The place is tiny. Menu is limited to the basics - eggs, hash browns (or grits), toast, and of course a waffle. Served quickly with a little grease on the plate. By today's standards it's inexpensive. Under $20 for my husband and I. I got 2-eggs/hash/toast; he got the All American (?) which basically included choices from everything in the menu. One OJ. For just under $20 before tip. The staff was very friendly & seemed to be having a great time singing along to whatever songs were playing. Not bad when you just need a quick & easy meal!

    If you're looking for a solid diner spot with awesome waffles, the best shredded hash browns, eggs, etc., this is where you wanna be. Like many restaurants, labor shortages might mean the tables aren't immediately bussed or the wait is a bit longer. If that bugs you, come at an off peak time to likely improve your experience. I've been coming to this location since I was a little kid. The service is always good, usually with a smile, and people here appreciate kind patrons. My usual order is a small orange juice, chocolate chip waffle, and bacon extra crisp. I also enjoy my hash browns scattered, covered, and smothered. YUM! Give it a shot next time you're in the area.

    The hashbrowns -- what its all about.

A work of edible art -- crispy rye hugging tender corned beef like it was saying "don't ever leave me." Spoiler: I didn't. We also tackled a basket of fried glory -- fries, jalapeño poppers, mushrooms, probably some hush puppies sent from heaven. Each bite whispered, "You'll need a nap after this," and I listened. The sauces? Four tiny cups of personality. BBQ sauce with swagger, honey mustard with attitude, ranch that knew its worth, and ketchup just happy to be here.

We started with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, and you can immediately tell they don't cut corners--the OJ tasted bright, fresh, and totally worth it. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The Signature Pancake Platter was unreal--fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that honestly might be some of the best I've had. Adding the soft poached eggs took it to another level (that perfect yolk ), and the hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how they should be. We also ordered the West Coast Omelet with feta, and it was packed with flavor--super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. And yes... we had to add extra pancakes (no regrets), which were just as amazing the second time around. Shoutout to our server JJ, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Everything came out hot, fresh, and quickly, and the portions are more than generous for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry. The benches were the only downside, it is definitely time to replace them! But tables were clean and cute inside.

I had the fried chicken lunch special which comes with mashed potatoes, green beans and toast. The plate was huge. I'm a connoisseur of mashed potatoes and these mashed potatoes were made fresh with bits of red skin and topped with a creamy gravy. The chicken was moist inside with a crispy coating. The green beans were ok. I was too full to try the desserts, but the blueberry shortcake sounded awesome. Another day. Restrooms are clean. A parking lot is available behind the building.
