    We had to try The Waffle House while in Lexington and we were not disappointed. When we walked in the entire crew welcomed us and everyone actually said Hi! Welcome to Waffle House. The food was SO GOOD!!! The food was inexpensive, fast, and really good. Definite comfort food and the waffles were fantastic. Our waitress Beatrice was friendly and attentive, thank you!! Doyle came by to chat and he was also great. The manager was professional, friendly and gorgeous. Not that it matters, but she was. Thanks everyone for a great first experience!

    I eat at Waffle House a fair amount, and which location I patronize depends on where I happen to be. I had heard this new location on Winchester Road was opening soon, and I had also heard that it was corporately-owned, as opposed to being a franchise store. It is now the nearest Waffle House to my home, though. All of this is merely background to illuminate my mixed thoughts on this Waffle House. It's new. The parking lot has fresh lines and bright paint. Noticably so. That newness extends indoors as well, where the entire restaurant still seems unused. It's not, of course. There was a decent-sized crowd when we stopped in for a Friday morning breakfast. But the tables didn't have a trace of stickiness, and that surprised me. In an older Waffle House, no matter how much they clean, the syrup stickiness lingers in the crevices of the table. Let's address the food first. I have a usual order, no matter the time of day: a grilled cheese, hash browns and a Coke. This trip, I noticed that there's a $6 meal deal that's a bacon grilled cheese with hash browns and a drink. So I went for that. I asked for my hash browns crispy (or "well.") My wife's order varies more than mine, but she always wants her hash browns crispy, but she wants them potato chip crispy. Whether a Waffle House can get an order of crispy hash browns cooked correctly varies a lot by location and the phase of the moon. Sometimes the top is nice and crispy, but there are still nearly raw potatoes underneath. Sometimes it's a nearly burnt potato chip. Well, this Waffle House can do crispy hash browns the right way. They were cooked perfectly. Crispy all the way through without being overdone. Bravo. It remains to be seen whether they can do this consistently, but it's this achievement that earns them the four stars of this review. Now, the service. It was good. I really shouldn't complain. But I will. Waffle House is a diner and friendly wait staff with southern charm is de rigueur. But it almost seems they'd had a corporate training on how to provide that and something was lost in translation. Here's what I mean: it is typical in the south for a waitress to call you "honey" or "hon." Folks from the north might find that weird, but around here, it's acceptably charming. You may get variations. It could be "babe," "baby," or even "pumpkin" if the waitress can pull those off. "Sweetheart" or "sweetie" would certainly work. Our waitress kept calling my wife or me "my love." It was just weird. It is too affectionate of a pet name. Too familiar. And so it just came off a little forced. She even said it like she was remembering from her training to tack it on to the end of a sentence. Not natural at all. There were a couple other confusing service moments. One was when my wife requested Splenda and creamer for her coffee. The waitress clarified that she would bring those separately. She meant that my wife would have to put them in her own coffee... which is so obviously how that works that we were confused and thought she meant she would have to make separate trips to our table to bring the Splenda, then the creamer, as if they were components of a bomb that couldn't be placed in close proximity. Oh, and after we paid, she forgot to hand my wife her credit card back, and had to run out to our car and catch us to give it back. Now, I want to be clear: our waitress was a nice young lady who was clearly trying her best to provide pleasant and efficient service. She did a great job of that. But between over-explaining obvious things and calling us "my love" repeatedly, it just came off kind of strange in a memorable way. I hope this is just corporate-store, newly-trained growing pains. I can stand a weird pet name, though, if it means the Waffle House is clean and my food is cooked perfectly. So I'll be returning to this location.

    For most, a Waffle House is a Waffle House, but the crew and chefs make this one special. Today's all-girl staff took care of the business serving up a seriously tasty cheesesteak omelet and crispy hash browns to order. Spotlessly clean, this Waffle House is above-the-bar for food, service, and most of all friendliness. Listening to the chatter makes me feel like I'm in my grandma's kitchen on the farm.

    Guys working didn't have a clue! One person was there when I went in and both worked on that order before even taking my order.

    When I was a student at UK, this was the place for students. They have many good alternatives and…read morethey are offered until late, including burgers, loaded fries, and breakfast favorites. I always get the Mega HO Burger, which is a 3/4 lb Triple Burger with all the dressings. All their burgers are made with fresh daily ground beef. My second favorite is the Philly Steak Sandwich, with swiss, mushrooms, peppers oniongs, lettuce sna dhte house sauce. My wife always got the special fried chicken sandwich, which comes with hanarneo cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, tommatoe and mayo. We either get the crinkle-cut fries or the tots as sides. In addition to being roomy and tidy, the interior had several vintage games. This place is excellent for both big and small parties (particularly after a late night). The service has always been friendly and timely. Overall the prices were a little too pricey for a place like this on a college student's budget but the food was delicious and the amounts were substantial. I would still suggest it and will probably come back. There is a rumor, however, that this place may be closing in the near future.

    Fantastic grub spot…read more Solid options ranging from breakfast staples to burgers and loaded fries, all available into the late hours. The interior was clean, spacious, and even had some classic games. Great for groups large or small (especially after a late night). Service was friendly and prompt. Food tasted great and portions were quite generous, though prices were a tad on the higher end for a spot like this. Would still recommend and will likely be returning.
