I have never been to Waffle House and actually enjoyed their food but I came in tonight with a couple friends and Gabbie literally was one of the most outstanding servers I have ever had. I'm a server and at 4am it's rough, all the drunk people and everything else you gotta deal with but she was completely phenomenal. Had my friends and I continuously laughing and smiling, refilling our coffees and so much more. Definitely coming back for her hard work and service! read more

Hadn't been the House in a very long time...was craving some potatoes and they're the place for some seriously good greasy fried potatoes! Ordered sausage egg and cheese sandwich, would have preferred the egg over medium but my fault for not asking. Really just looking for something to order aside the potatoes. The sausage was excellent. Potatoes scattered(not in the ring) smothered(with onion) and peppered (jalapenos) well (extra crispy) were just what I was looking for. Head server was so patient and kind to the staff of mostly newbies running around the place she really was something special. Sunday morning rush and she was a cool cucumber telling everyone were to be and what to do so that it all ran smoothly. And of course it's always fun to watch the cooks handle the griddle with flair. Looking for a good n' greasy, clean, truck stop breakfast with friendly staff this is your place. read more

Server Jackie needs an attitude adjustment. Slow, angry, surly, doesn't smile. Sad. I asked for hash browns extra crispy she just refused to tell the cook to do that. Needless to say, they weren't extra crispy. Food is inconsistent. Sometimes the all the way hash browns are great, sometimes they're soupy! Second night in a row Jackie is horrific. Go find something you enjoy doing. Serving is not one of them obv... read more

Waffle House - Hash browns all the way. Excellent and cheap. - Diners Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We come to this Waffle House all the time and have the same server tonight we came there and will never be back again. The staff failed to kick out a group of young aggressive men that were trying to create and issue with my table. We had to leave in order to solve the problem. It's on the staff to kick out any unruly parties and they failed to do that. We will never be back. read more

Dude actually pulled waffle out with a spatula, way undercooked. Also, this is not the place for steak and eggs. Completely disappointing and at $30 for breakfast I won't be going back... read more

My husband and I come here on our late nights to see Gabbie. She is a great server and we always have so much fun with her - she makes our night every time we stop by. Her personality is infectious and the whole atmosphere is elevated whenever she is around. Highly recommend this location based on this beautiful person. read more

Hmmm...not sure what to say. While sitting at the table, something seemed wrong. Smell like poop but there's no way it would. When I asked my kids if they smelled something, they said the same thing. Noticed the Trash can right by the table. It is fortunate to see 24/7 restaurant but how this place pass health inspection is a huge question. Not sure what but something is making me go bathroom couple of hours after eating there. read more

15 months ago, I had the best waffle ever! Yesterday, we returned to the same place and we were quickly reminded as to why we love their food! Everything was delicious! Simple yet sooo good!! Love the thin, crispy waffles served at this Waffle House. (Tried to duplicate the waffles at home but mine usually come out thick!) The waffles, bacon, eggs, hash browns and grilled chicken were all tasty! In fact, we also had the same chef, Cody! The server, Shay, was very polite and gracious toward us too. We were very pleased with the food and service! In fact, we left a 40% tip because we were so appreciative! read more

Excellent service at this location! I would highly recommend. The staff is all super nice and welcoming and the food is great as well.

My son loves waffles and we go to this place every otj Sunday. it is closest to us and customer service better than the Mesa one. There are quite a bit of workers to get things cooked, serve and clean. Waffle house is kind of fast food store and in such small place it is hard to keep everything perfect. Food is very tasty, big portion and very law price. You will be getting more than what you pay for. However, i would suggest owner to get a dedicated washing worker or a commercial washing machine to be used Weekends. read more

I had scrambled eggs with cheese. I had hash browns with mushrooms. Take note that that there were hardly ANY mushrooms. I had white toast with butter and some mixed berry jelly. And a glass of water with lemon. Not bad. But I could have made it myself better. My waitress, Daniella was very high spirited. I liked her customer service. I also liked the welcome from the staff as I walked in. read more

Hats off to the chef, Thomas. What a great guy back there. In a great mood always and makes some really damn good food. Best Waffle House to come too ! read more

First of all I wanted to say that Marlene was a good attentive waitress. That's the only nice thing I have to say about this place. I went here years ago and there were ants in the windows and it was dirty. I don't have any idea why I gave them another chance but I really wanted a waffle so me and my daughter stopped by. I don't know if all waffle houses are set up the same inside but this one has an open kitchen area right next to the seating. There was around 15 employees running around, bumping into each other, almost dropping food, talking loudly. Complaining about work, co-workers arguing and noticeably not getting along. They were SO LOUD. It was so horribly it became funny because I always try to find the food in all situations. The tables were small. The hash browns and eggs were good but the waffle was burnt and it was SO nasty I had to spit it out. The bacon was burnt. The coffee wasn't hot or fresh. They had apple butter which was the only plus I experienced. Everything was dirty. And the waffle was like an eggo type waffle, except an eggo would have tasted better. read more

Visited on a Saturday morning, this place was busy, as is customary for a breakfast place this time of day. They sat us within minutes of walking in, staff was friendly, food was good. But what stood out to my husband and myself was that this Place although busy ran like a well oiled machine the staff was so nice to each other and they helped each other out. The hostess was busy, someone else sat guests. They also acknowledged every guest that walked in, when they walked in. Will definitely visit again. Also this establishment was very clean. Great job. read more

We had eight people and they wouldnt let us sit at two tables, even though they only had 2 customers in the entire place. Their largest open table could only fit 4 people. read more

I haven't been to a waffle house in years but my cousin wanted to go. All I could remember is they had the best grits. When we walked in we were greeted right away. I didn't know what to get so i got the basic breakfast it's a great bargain for the amount of food I got. Everything was good and served hot. Everyone who worked there was in a great mood and super friendly. read more

Horrible service right off the bat. Put your name in and the greeter seats others that came after you and give some bs excuse about it, be prepared to grab your own extra chair or high chair if you need it because he'll tell you to grab it yourself. go to pay and just get eyed down by the cashier without any greeting and just grabs at your payment. The only thing giving this place any stars is the waitress who actually interacts with you and your family. read more

Friendly Service and Good Breakfast Foods I've been visiting Waffle House locations across he country in and off for going on 20 years. Affordable prices and friendly staff with actual sweet tea makes it a decent stop when you need a bite. I always order the All American which is a feast that leaves you stuffed... Stop by and grab a bite... read more

Lauren was fucking AMAZING! Her service was second to none. We're from Cali so our experience couldn't have been any better. 5 stars!!!

We waited 45 minutes to be seated and were on a list but the seater kept giving our seats to someone else. We finally said fuck it and left. This place is trash and the service is 100% awful. Don't go here. I hope corporate sees this review and does something about this place. Like replace the staff with people who know what they're doing. read more

We were from out of town after 2 long days competing in track meets under the Arizona sun, and just wanted to feed the kids before a long ride home. We were greeted with disgusting rudeness, completely absent of even a "hello," demanding that we all leave and refusing to take a single order with claims that us "expecting to place orders was a ridiculous proposition." We offered to order in waves to accommodate being overwhelmed with orders, when in reality, it's not exactly like there's monstrous prep going into cooking breakfast food. Not sure if it was a manager, but whoever it is, buddy with the "Princess" shirt who was devoid of anything royal, at all, was rude, unnecessary, and outright disrespectful to our athletes, and coaches. Just an ugly person in the general sense of how he treated patrons. By far, the worst experience our team had while in Arizona and unfitting for how WH would be represent to their customers. read more

Oh my word! I wanted to give this 0 stars but that wouldn't be fair to the one person that was actually working. Sabrina our server was basically non existent. The restaurant was extremely busy and the gentleman that was on the grill was the only one that was working. He got our drinks, menus, and silverware all while trying to keep up with orders. He regularly changed his gloves and was making sure people were practicing social distancing. Sabrina who was working with him wasn't even able to call out the orders! My hats off to the guy for holding down the place, but that was one of the worst experiences we have had here. Oh, and she got our order wrong and brought the food with no syrup so it got cold...06/11/2020 at 10pm read more

Service was so friendly and the food was ready so quick! We stopped in for breakfast and it was delicious. Couldn't be more happy with our experience! 11/10 would visit this location again! read more

Dear Yelpers, I have many fond memories in the waffle houses around our dear valley. Why? because I went to college, and I wasn't always under the influence of strictly oxygen if you know what I mean. The place is what it is. Hightened sensory perception makes it "burn a little brighter" perhaps , but its A FRIGGIN WAFFLE HOUSE! Most Sincerely, Dr. Obvious. read more

What can I say. I looooove Waffle House. I wish they had one in Southern California. The coffee, the hash browns, the bacon, the chocolate pie and yes of course the amazing waffles. The service is always on point too. The first time I had Waffle House my boyfriend drove me six hours just to try it and I just fell in love. Now whenever I'm in Arizona or any state that has it I'm sure to make a stop before coming back home read more

Waffle House - Texas bacon melt. Hash browns with cheese and jalapeños - Diners Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Waffle House has a certain cold, institutional weirdness about it. Combined with a folksiness that seems unforced but so strangely out of place, it just adds to the weirdness. It's like an episode of Hee-Haw directed by David Lynch. Waffle House--and not just in terms of interior appearance-- is weird in a Mentos-commercial sort of way. It's an odd blend of shapes and textures that make you think it was somehow cooked up in lab by space aliens based on things they observed about our culture remotely, quickly prototyped in a large hanger, then deployed to our planet overnight in part of a program to observe and study our behavior. The menus have the odd appearance of a parts catalog for a Pakistani-made bazooka. Odd, drop-shadowed fonts that just seem . . . wrong in some way. The graphic designers for this place must just love their jobs. But then the food pictured is all Southern-style good-ol' boy trucker grub. Including grits. This is the weirdest one can make waffles, eggs and grits look without really trying at it. The servers for the most part are friendly and efficient, though some of them speak in accents that probably haven't been commonly heard since around the time of the Civil War. I think there are still closed-off little mountain enclaves where people go from adolescence to military service to indentured labor at Waffle House. That's just the way of it. The food seems ample, but it really doesn't satisfy. Shove a plate full of the oddly-textured waffles slathered in butter substitute into your mouth and you'll be hungry for lunch two hours later. It's not cheap, either. So why does it exist? Setting aside for a moment the alien-conspiracy theory, I think Waffle House offers a minimal level of edible items around the clock. They are usually clean and located near highways. And that's about it. read more

I love that you always get greeted every time you enter the restaurant (actually at any Waffle House location)! The food is consistent and always delicious. Staff is friendly and hospitable. read more

Maybe my standards are low, but I have always loved this place. The company I work for used to hold training classes in Mesa, and I always tried to make it here at least once for each visit. WH is big in the south, and I think AZ is the furthest western location of any WH. Most are just like any fast food, but you get to see the cook, and they have waitresses who step lively between their various chores. The last time I was there , the group of co-workers I was with was amazed at the price we paid. I think the most expensive thing was a NY steak for 10 bucks. If you like a "hangover" style meal (breakfast anytime, greasy-but-good burgers, etc.) this is the place. And there's thousands of variations to the basic menu. Grits, hash browns, chili, greasy/good burgers. And folks that look like they should be servin' them to you. God, I wish there was one close by, but my health is better for the fact there isn't. read more

Very nice gentleman named Gabbie . Besides him acting a lil weird at times he overall has good service. Thank you

While it was busy when me and my boyfriend where here, the assistant manager or shift lead made contact with us and told us to sit anywhere we wanted that was available. Which was a good sign because I know some places won't even acknowledge you. Anyway, apart from the prompt service and attention, the food is pretty good. You can see the cooks preparing and cooking your food. And the dialogue isn't too bad either. Lots of personality! Overall, I would definitely hit this and other waffle houses if I'm in the area. read more

Bad service and food tonight from the swing shift crew! Sad, but this will be my first negative review on Yelp. Waffle House #1208 (480) 833-0005 1831 SOUTH COUNTRY CLUB MESA, AZ 85210 My wife and I are regular customers at this Waffle House on Country Club Dr. On Wednesday night, we brought our whole family to eat. The location was not busy. There were 2 other customers in the restaurant & 3 crew members working - 2 servers and a cook. The food took twice as long to arrive as usual. The waffles were burnt, there were eggshells in the eggs, the toast was cold, and food items were forgotten. When we received the bill, the amount was $15 more than usual, yet we had not ordered anything different from previous visits. We observed that possibly this was because they had itemized every single food item instead of grouping into meal specials as regularly advertised on the permanent menus. I had to leave early with a few of our children. My wife stayed behind to pay for the bill. After my wife requested they re-calculate the ticket, the servers were surprisingly rude. They said that their manager told them that they were not allowed to combine items into the meal deals and they refused to accomodate our request. My wife was more upset about their poor attitude in their reaction rather than the actual initial concern of being overcharged. The staff's unprofessional and rude interaction (combined with the longer-than-normal wait times and poor quality food) was the main reason why my wife was so upset when she left the restaurant. This is by no means the average experience that we have had as regular customers. We understand that employees are human and can have bad days too. But feedback is essential for companies and management to see experiences from a customer's viewpoint and identify areas of potential improvement. read more

Okay, so I grew up thinking these places were dirty little places to dine. I ate @ this location on New Year's morning thanks to a visiting friend, Jenny from SF. She hearts WH. Anyway, I was surprised at how clean it was, no fancy furniture, but clean booths and tables. There were a lot of people waiting, but they moved people in / out efficiently. Coffee awaited us complete with sweetener/ cream. Yay coffee. This probably helped make the wait seem less. There are a lot of smaller tables/ booths, so not real good for a large group. The kitchen is open to the dining area, so you can see the cooks make your food. We ordered a single waffle and side of bacon. I didn't realize they served lunch/dinner, too. The waffle was just the right side, and they made my bacon crispy like I asked. The cooks actually seemed to be having a good time cooking up a storm of bacon, waffles, eggs, etc. Our food came out fast, hot and delicious. I can officially say I am a fan, and will return to WH for breakfast whenever I get the chance. We got out of there with 2 waffle breakfasts, sides of bacon, and drinks for under $15 for the two of us. read more

Ive been to many Waffle Houses and always had decent service at best, so decent at best service is expected. This visit this morning to this location was terrible. Waited 10 minutes for one of the 8 employees behind the counter to address my drink order. 7 minutes later finally a diet coke shows up. Numerous other customers looked not pleased with the terrible service as well. All tables were filthy. Floor was covered with trash and food scraps like a third world. Patty melt came out burnt. Watched my server coughing in her hands, picked a straw and soggy wet napkin off the nasty dirty floor with her hands and then not wash them. She continued to fold place settings and give her tables refills. I asked for a different server. Disgusting. read more

The staff is very friendly at this location and I appreciate that. The food is hot and fast. All that aside, I won't be going back Waffle House. They don't believe in butter, instead it's a butter spread. What's that about? Oh, now you wanna cut calories. The white bread toast was stale. But this is was took the cake....my bacon was burnt! I could have overlooked the "butter" and the stale bread until you burned my bacon. Oh no you didn't! read more

Good food, great prices. Sadly, no real butter. They do have half and half for coffee. Grits are superior and Texas egg bacon cheese melt is a lip smacker. Atmosphere reminds me of the good 'ol days. Fun place. Servers are exceptional. read more

Wait for 20 min to be seated. When we did get our seat. We had no help just sat there waiting for another 25 min. We didn't even get asked for drinks. Then, we overheard the cashier say they were only accepting CASH, no Cards. One waitress said we have a sign on the door, but as we left the sign was facing inward. So, anyone coming in wouldn't see it. It was only noticeable as we left the place. Bad experience from the get-go. Waited for nothing and no immediate service for a small eating area. We are heading to Golden Corral instead. read more

Came here for dinner! Got their chocolate chip waffles, the waffles had a hair in them. Customer service was horrible! I will never come back!!! If I could give them a zero I would!! Do not recommend read more

Well let's say I Was not very impressed with this place at all ... the food was eh and I mean eh as super bland I went with four people and I tasted all of their food as well. I found that it was not just my food. It was definitely not clean anywhere I looked and the area where they were cooking was a complete disaster. I'm also sure that they were not properly staffed... The food took forever to get to me and I ordered something super simple. The staff was not very friendly but it could be due simply to them being stressed with being short staffed who knows. People were confused as where to be seated and you could tell that they were getting upset because no one was telling them where they could sit much lack of direction and order. Aside from all the tables smelling like they were wiped down with a musty used rag. I won't be returning to this location hopefully there is better waffle houses in the area. But I'm sure other people probably had a better experience depending on the day or time who know. read more
