It's the 4th of July, 2021. The fireworks and celebrations in Nashville are the biggest ever. Over 100,000 attend by some estimates. As the crowds disperse at about 11:30pm, I decide to get my Waffle House fix on my way home to Pegram. My first stop is this Charlotte Pike location off I-40. Whoops, they are only offering carry out even though they are listed as open 24 hours. No problem, I decide to move on to the next location in Bellevue. This time, I am greeted in the parking lot by a frazzled looking young man who gives me the hand-slash across the neck greeting. This is his way of letting me know they are closed. He says "they didn't assign enough staff to keep the restaurant open". Not sure who "they" are, guessing it's the owners or someone further up chain. Ok I get it, people are no longer happy to work for starvation wages after getting unemployment + $300 extra a week bonus compliments of the Covid relief act. So, who's at fault here? The Government who spoiled workers by giving relief in a crisis, or the employer who could offer a living wage and benefits to bring folks back to work. I'm thinking the latter to be honest. Come on.... Think the cost of keeping one of these low-wage jobs. Transportation, uniforms, child care (a great number of these workers are single moms), health insurance, and of course the roof over your head. No wonder folks are inclined to stay home, when often their wages won't cover the expenses of just showing up to work!! The upshot is restaurants are closing, cutting menus, cutting hours, cutting services, instead of addressing the pay issue. I am sure the additional cost to offer living wages and benefits might at best add 10% cost to their operations. So which is better, closing, or making a modest price increase to the menu? All I know is the next time I hear a Manager whine about how "NO ONE WANTS to WORK", I am going to cite a small Ice cream shop in the south who, after increasing their offered minimum wage to $15 an hour, got over 1000 applications. It's not that folks don't want to work, they just want survival wages for their services!! read more

I ordered online i waited 20 minutes to pick up then i get inside & wait another 15 minutes in store for them to tell me they aren't doing to go order because they are so busy & then they refuse to give me a refund tell me call corporate i call corporate & then they tell me the store has to give me the refund so nobody wants to make my order that's over 35 minutes late & nobody wants to give me a refund. Terrible customer service & I'll never be back to a Waffle House again good thing crackle barrels right across the street maybe you'll get some decent service & respect. read more

Red haired girls, wolf, spiders, and brown recluse..... oh my! You're gonna want to read this one before you go there! First, I can tell you that I ordered a big breakfast with country steak bacon on the side four eggs hashbrowns well done it comes with toast and one waffle. I had to ask three times for my waffle my waitress never even brought it to cook gave it to me. I never received my bacon. It's OK because when I brought it up to the person that rung me out, I wasn't charged for it. But the worst thing is that the girl with red hair she will tell you all about wolf, spiders, and other spiders and how much she likes them as friends. I was listening to her conversation with the cook where she told him she saved a wolf spider outback that came into the building. I think she had it in a glass somewhere inside the building in the back of the restaurant. You're never gonna believe the next part. Just as she gets done telling that story I look over to my left sitting at the bar directly behind Customer side of where the sink is. She's washing dishes and a spider comes running at me 2 feet away across the countertop literally jumps off the countertop aggressively towards me. I jumped out of my seat. The spider narrowly misses me and falls on my seat. I'm now standing up. I can't even believe what has happened. I tell her a spider just tried to attack me at your counter. My food was literally just put on the countertop and she immediately starts saying don't kill it don't kill it. She comes around the counter and says oh that's a venomous spider! Disgusting absolutely unbelievable. She calls to her gray haired friend. The only other customer in the restaurant and ask him can you please help me take care of this very little spider. He gets up out of his seat. He comes over and just as he's about to step on it. She says don't kill it. Maybe we can take it outside. He tells her I'm going to kill it and steps on it. If she's already talking about a spider, she has hidden in the back and then a spider is crawling across the countertop and jumps at me, literally trying to attack me.(brown recluse.) this place has huge problems. She never apologized for it like I said she forgot half of my food. She was the worst Customer Service ever just know you're in for a very serious adventure and not the kind you would expect at a normal restaurant. Something you might pull out of your own imagination. However, it actually happened. I give this place less than any stars like zero stars.! come on Waffle House do better absolutely never going there again! By the way, the food was all burnt. My country steak was burnt to oblivion. I asked for my hashbrowns to be medium well done and they were burnt. My eggs were all right you can't really screw up eggs at an egg restaurant. When she did finally put the waffle on, she forgot about it like I said in the beginning of this so she burnt it. She left it in there and the cook asked me if I needed anything else because she was in La La Land about spiders so he took it out of the waffle machine and gave it to me, but it was hard as a rock. She shouldn't be working there. She has no clue what she's doing. It might've been the end of her shift. She might've been tired, but you have to give 100% until your shift is over to every single customer that's called Customer Service these days. Seriously try better. Try Moore. Try anything. Maybe start by cleaning the place up a little bit so there's not spiders everywhere! read more

Waffle House - This is what a brown recluse looks like so that you don't have to go to that restaurant to find out! - Diners Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This was my first time coming to Waffle House and the food was so delicious and amazing. The staff and service were incredible. The food came out quick didn't have to wait long. I would definitely recommend coming here to eat. read more

See all

Waffle House #320 was a great experience today. Even though they were crazy busy with the new year crowd, the team did the best they could. The food was delicious and never disappoints. Everything came out promptly and accurately. Casual ambiance, waited about 15 mins to get a table and order. Was in and out within an hour. The staff was a bit too busy today, but that wouldn't deter me from coming back. read more

Came here for some late dinner but won't be back. We are very patient and also work in service industry. We sat for 20 minutes unacknowledged, watching as the server had to cook with her snail of a manager. They completely ignored guests, 2 groups walked out because they hadn't been greeted and they were there longer than us. We waited for 20 minutes and also left. Waffle House needs to Hire better and staff better, because at least $200 in sales walked out the door in 15 minutes. read more

Look, its a Waffle House and as someone from Georgia who grew up with this fine southern delicacy, it pains me to give them less than 5 stars! However, this location just hasn't earned them stars yet... I have been to this WH location a few times now with the first couple of visits being your standard Waffle House visits. Our latest visit brought some unexpected attitude as a side to our Texas Bacon Cheesesteaks. My aunt ordered the two egg plate with her eggs over easy. The first trip out had her eggs as clearly medium with no runny yolks, so she asked politely to have her eggs remade. A few minutes later a new set of eggs came back out cooked the exact same way...at this point she was irritated and asked can she just have a hamburger if the eggs cannot be cooked to order. The waitress picked up her plate and made some snide comment about eggs and my Aunt being needy. To this I asked for someone else to take over our table. We came for a simple meal, it was wrong twice and instead of resolution we got attitude. Overall, not the best Waffle House experience for either of us. I mean, if Waffle House can't cook eggs of all things right, then we gots an issue! read more

The first shift waitresses and cooks are loud mouth talking and laughing and some are rude your trying to enjoy a meal and they give you a headache yak yak yaking thankfully I moved away from Dickerson Rd area read more

I just went to waffle house next to Walmart.And i'm pretty sure the cook's name was Steven and he gave us excellent service. He was extremely friendly to me and the rest of my family and the food tasted awesome. I am telling all my friends about this because we had such a wonderful experience there and the cook. On third shift is amazing.I am definitely going to be a regular customer just because of that particular cook.The food was so good that I wanted to review this and give him five stars if I could give him six stars I would read more

I just went to waffle House and I had such a wonderful experience my waitresses name was Tabitha Ward and she was so polite and very helpful I had such an awesome experience that I wanted to come on here and give her a good review read more

I love this location!! The cook is very quick with food and always cooked well. The sever Tabitha is great! Always respectful and quick, constantly checking on you making sure youre all set. Always clean tables floors and female bathroom! read more

Tasty... affordable.... fast... friendly... it was great! Our waitress was attentive... bonus: we got a hat!! (Yes a hat..it was fun)

When we first arrived, the waiter gave us PLASTIC forks and knives because apparently it's too hard to do some dishes?? Smh. All the employees were standing around doing nothing. The food didn't taste fresh at all- and the coffee was WAYYY too hot. Do better. read more

THE. NEGLIGENCE!!!!!!! Every time we come to this place they don't give a rat's a55 about customer service or actually serving a customer!!! It makes NO SENSE!!!! I don't get it!! We're literally the only ones in here and they could give a crap about actually serving us!! They're watching videos and everything else up in here with an empty restaurant and act like serving us is an inconvenience! I'm sorry that I actually want food from an open restaurant! I cannot!! Like what do you have to do? Nothing but work here for the shift that you agreed to!?! Who doesn't want to make money?! I'm over it. Do yourself a favor and drive two exits down to the exit 199 Waffle House. It may be out of the way but at least you'll get decent service. Oh and apparently this location is only to-go at night btw so don't plan on eating in house. #LeSigh #UGGHHHHHH read more

Waffle House - Coloring on the shift but apparently WE were inconveniencing HER by trying to get food at the restaurant!! - Diners Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Been here 5 times in the past three months during business hours, four of the times their door is locked and their employees inside just stare at me like I'm an idiot for trying to come in. Seriously, turn off your damn lights if you don't want customers. 5/16/21 8:00 PM most recent. Why say your open if you're just going to watch potential customers come to a locked door. Never trying this place again. read more

I would actually give this place negative stars if I could. The place was absolutely filthy. The waffle irons were all overflowing with batter. It was even dripping on the floor. The coffee was awful. The bacon was inedible. The people working could not have cared LESS. read more

Very clean an pleasant place to eat .. my waitress was a young male that was polite an on top of his work ..

Went in and there were like 7-10 people inside. I was told it would be 30 minutes before they would take my order "unless you tip up front". F*** that. read more

The place was empty, except for two other patrons. We sat ourselves (unfortunately) by the grill...and were disgusted by the mess. The spatula wipe cloth looked as though it was used to change my cars oil...no that's inaccurate. My used motor oil is cleaner. Food on the floor, food on the side of the grill. To be fair, the cook was busy wiping down surfaces as we ordered, but I groaned internally when that filthy rag was used once again before touching our food. Maybe it was the visual, but my Philly hash brown bowl tasted greasy, without any crunch at all. My partner's meal was ok, and our waitress was prompt, and checked on us twice. Good thing I wasn't the Health Inspector. Oh yes, the mess was still there as we were leaving. read more

Waffle House - Greasy floor, disgusting spatula cleaning cloth, food scraps everywhere - Diners Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My husband made me try this place because I had never been to a Waffle House. The service was great. The girls danced around and talked to all the customers. The food was good and the price is right. Overall a good experience. read more

I just went for breakfast, the kind of regular breakfast and was great! The coffee is good tho

Took way too long to order... My waiter was bitter older gentleman. We waited 20 minutes for our food, and after we got our food we finally got our drinks we ordered 30 minutes prior. The cooks there were fantastic. They really got their stuff done. Honestly they were the only ones I saw doing their work. Most of the other waiters were doing great work but mine at least, was not pushing orders and honestly backing up the entire staff. Not only that, our orders were not fulfilled completely, and I was overcharged; If I were to give the cooks a rating 4.5/5 (cause they actually got our food out) if I were to give our waiter a rating: luckyhegotatip/5 read more

Great food service was amazing I went to one in Alabama and it scared me this one they are super nice and they are really chill people

I Love this Waffle House Sooo Much! There are certain employees, (3rd Shift) That make this restaurant the Best in The Bizz! Fo Sho. They always do their best to stay positive and upbeat. And I know how difficult that is, especially in the last year or so! Anyways, I can't say enuf bout this location. Keep Rockin' Y'all! We'll make it to the Big League One Day, & Life will Be Better, I Promise! C.C.C. 6/23/21. !!!!!! 1 read more

By far one of the best Waffle House's I have ever been to. Food was on point. Our waitress was great, and then there was Christy, she was spectacular. Christ was full of love and light and LAUGHTER. Thabks for the rememberable breakfast. read more

Food was great, cook was great....our server, Rhonda was a straight up smartass, rude individual who needs to find another job besides working with the public. Will not return. read more

This Waffle House is closed all the time. 9/10 times I come here the door is locked and the workers and just standing around with the lights on and say "we're closed". I'm starting to think they just don't want to work. Other locations are not like this, so try and go to those. read more

After 5+ years of reading yelp reviews on the west coast, east coast, and the south, one thing becomes apparent to me: people review food with way too much emotion. I notice that most 1 star reviews receive 1 star because of ONE poor experience with ONE silly server or employee. Does an entire business deserve 1 out of 5 stars due to ONE idiot who'd probably be employed there only temporarily? That's why it's nearly impossible to find actual 1 star reviews on Yelp based on the food alone. If the food or quality-to-cost ratio is poor, the establishment would not survive more than a year or two. The VAST majority of 1 star reviews on Yelp consist entirely of emotionally-charged opinions reflecting ONE awful experience with ONE employee who will probably be long gone from the establishment within 2 months. To me, Waffle House deserves 3 or 4 out of 5 stars because it is what it is: easy to eat, simple breakfast food available 24/7. If you can't live with that, try finding a better affordable place to eat at 4am in Nashville. ;-) But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's totally justifiable to give 1 star reviews based on one awful experience that has nothing to do with the food. But I leave that debate to the higher beings at Yelp to sort out. :-D read more

I cannot believe the cook got out of his car, walked in, put his Waffle House shirt on, hand santized his hands to cook my food. No sir, WASH YOUR HANDS! Dam read more

Waffle house is franchised so they are not all equal. This one is a good one - fast, tasty, cheap, and the staff is helpful and friendly. Always busy but Ive never waited more that a few minutes for a seat. You can triple your hash browns for like 50 cents and top them with half a dozen items like mushrooms, onions, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, ham, chili (or get it on the side), etc, then take the leftover hash browns home to top with your own egg the next morning for a lazy 2nd breakfast. Give them time to wipe the table/seats before you sit down. Seems clean but i once sent a coffee cup back that had something on it. Coffee (even the decaf) tastes good - bottomless. I hear they do a valentines day candlelight dinner here which sounds fun/funny. read more

Always had a great experience here at this Waffle House while in the area visiting or passing thru. I always order a lightly brown waffle, soft bacon and wheat toast and hot chocolate its delicious. I never had a problem while eating at this Waffle House Restaurant during the morning or late night. Great service all around. read more

With Waffle House, you get exactly what you expect. I really can't think of a more consistent chain in the United States. Granted, that consistency is greasy Hash Browns, Eggs and Waffles. But seriously, where else can you go that you know there will be at least one waitress who has worked there since it opened who will give you that smile and tell you to sit anywhere? The food may not be for you, but you can't beat a winning smile and some down home friendliness. read more

Waffle House is what it is, a roadside greasy spoon serving cheap crappy standard Southern Food 24 hours a day. However, if you are in Nashville and have the late night munchies, you really could find better options, such as Applebees or Athens. Both of those are similarly priced to Waffle House, and have late hours but also with much cleaner, much less cramped stores, and friendlier staff and tastier food. The price difference is a two or three dollars more per meal and depending on your location perhaps 5 extra miles of driving. If that is too great an extra effort, than Waffle House is fine as a place to fill up, but really that is a low bar to set standards. You might as well find a McDonalds. I don't what it is about this Waffle House specifically, but it is somewhat creepy, with nighthawks and random people congregating around midnight on a Friday. read more

Hole-in-the-wall breakfast/late-night 24 hour munchie stop. Fiesta omelet is my fave only bc it's mighty fluffy & pretty tasty...a bit too cheesy and greasy for me though...but satisfies my munchies...aka after a late night/early morning drunk session. Servers are nice.. except for this one blond girl who couldn't even THANK me for giving her a $4 tip on a $10 check. WTF???! Maybe it's because it's a trashy place and therefore harbor trashy attitudes amongst themselve. I don't know...whatever. read more

Had breakfast coming back from Franklin. First time eating out in awhile. Was a very pleasant experience all personnel wearing masks very friendly and courteous. Breakfast was delicious and served quickly. Very clean An all around A+ Will be visiting more often Give them a visit you won't be disappointed read more

4 stars, because when it was open, it was a good comfort food place, and really nice waitresses too. Drove by this evening, and the building is being torn down. I'm not sure about this location, but I have heard of other Waffle Houses (in this metro area) being torn down and new ones being built on site. Fingers crossed this will happen with this one, and there'll be a shiny new WH there in the not-too-distant future. read more

Great experience this am. They were quick, the staff was super friendly, and the food was yummy! I forgot how much I love the WH.

This location has been closed for months.. Can someone please update Yelp so others don't waste their time driving here?

There were four employees behind the counter, the restaurant was empty besides two other tables, and it was 10 minutes before they put their phones down to take our order. We're a big fan of WH but we have never had such poor service. It's time for a turnover for more attentive food servers. read more

I love waffle house, as does my husband. But I'm never going to this one again. I don't know why their server had a problem with my husband or me ( though I have my suspicions), but it took them 20 minutes to get my order, 20 to place it, and then they slopped the plate down in front of me and took it away the second i was done. Clearly, I and my kind were not welcome there. 1 minute to clear my table/give me the check/get me out of there after all that waiting? Thanks a heap. Message received. I'll be emailing corporate about it. read more
