If there's one thing America can count on, it's that Waffle House will always have hot coffee, crispy bacon, and a booth ready for you no matter what time you walk in. The Sanford location did not disappoint. Coffee came out in that iconic heavy Waffle House mug--the kind that just feels right in your hands. Breakfast was exactly what you hope for: waffles cooked to that perfect golden crisp (the chocolate chip waffle was the star), bacon with just the right sizzle, and hashbrowns that stayed crunchy all the way through my meal. Eggs were cooked well, toast was buttery, and everything came out fast. Service was friendly and efficient, even during a busy morning rush. The team here keeps things moving without losing that classic Waffle House charm. If you want a no-frills, consistently good breakfast in Sanford--with strong coffee, hot food, and comfort you can taste--this Waffle House is a solid stop.

Racism at its finest
Brittney M.

I've never seen this level of blatant racism. I was told to order at the to go window but there were 3 white customers allowed in the establishment AND served. After I was directed to the window. My mind is blown!

2 egg breakfast with toast and hash browns smothered/covered/peppered. Yum!

Placed a to go order on a Sunday around 11am. This place was POPPIN (popular/packed). Despite that, my order was prepared timely and correct! The food was hot and exactly what I was expecting. If you've never been to a Waffle House, it's a casual diner, used to be open 24/7 but I would check that before going at an odd hour. I hadn't been to a Waffle House in years before this visit but I'll definitely circle back soon

So much food, Gustavo ate all!
Gustavo K.

Hello, it is I, Gustavo! I am here to bring you my first yelp review, or as I call it, y help? (Get it?). But yes. Where to begin? I drive very late at night on occasion, to avoid the night yelling of my wife of course. This one particular cold and not so stormy night, I find myself in the pits of despair. Head pounding, heart beating, I dig my fingernails into my velvet steering wheel cover (which is the height of luxury in my country). As my symptoms stack up by the minute, I notice a new opposition! A dreaded shooting pain in my side! Yeeeouch. As the all-consuming hunger begins to chase me, my need for consumption rises. Then I see it, approaching in the distance. The yellow beacon of hope, like a city on a hill, a glowing sign that brings promises of the new world, a house made of waffles! I park my '97 Corolla out front and walk up to the establishment. Just as I reach for the handle, a masked man jumps from the bushes to ambush me! Oh the excitement, I love a good challenge. I fight off the assailant in the nick of time and enter the palace. This place has jukebox style music, very classy. I am told by lady waitress who is also chef and manager to "sit wherever." Oh am I a sucker for a sense of control. I choose to sit in the high top bar counter. I order and watch in awestruck amazement as drunken multipurpose worker lady cracks eggs with one hand and smokes cigarette with other. Just like father! Wow! It is at this moment that I remember that I failed to mention I eat enough to feed small village, very important in the coming events (picture below.) Plate after plate, I shovel the grease and gristle into my mouth hole, loving every minute of it. In a raspy southern charm voice of another patron, I hear "slow down bud" which invigorates me to eat even faster. After all this food, I expect hefty bill that make my wife yell real loud, but instead I am greeted by bill that just says $22.57! What a deal and what a journey. Wife will only yell a little, so I will return. 5/5. -Gustavo

I was visiting Orlando for a few days, and on our last day, we decided to stop by the Market…read moreRestaurant on our way to the airport. I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, personable, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and had that comforting, home-cooked quality that's sometimes hard to find when dining out. I ordered the cheese omelet with toast and grits, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. The grits were cooked perfectly, with a smooth, buttery consistency, and the omelet was just as enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful way to wrap up our trip to Orlando.

Can't believe we haven't found this quaint 'lil restaurant before now. This is definitely going to…read morebe a regular spot for us. Had to get bloodwork done at 6:30am, so afterwards we were close to here and craving breakfast, so it was a no-brainer to stop in here. Having been born and raised in Mississippi, I am always on the hunt for some good southern homestyle cooking and I for sure found it here. First, everything about the outside and inside of the restaurant reminded me of all the lil mom and pop restaurants I was raised going to. Great nostalgia for me. Now was the food going to live up to what the place looked like?? YES! So I went in craving breakfast and then what did my little eye spy on the menu? An open-faced roast beef sandwich and they service breakfast and lunch all day? Well, yes, please and thank you! Forget brekkie, I went straight for that open-faced roast beef with fried and all of it covered in gravy. OH MY! I'm talking this is the kinda food that (as we say in the Deep South) makes you wanna slap your momma! The bread was piled high with fresh roast beef. The fries were steak fries which are my favorite. The gravy topping everything was just the chef's kiss to set everything off! So many things I want to try on the menu, but I think it's going to be a while before I order anything other than that open-faced roast beef! Hubby had scrambled eggs, toast, hash (his fav brekkie food and he asked for it crispy - they delivered), and breakfast potatoes. He said everything was great and that it's the best hash he's had. I have never been a fan of hash, but I always try it. This has I would definitely eat. It was good. Can't say I'd order it myself because I'm just not a fan, but if this is the breakfast that was served to me, I definitely wouldn't turn my nose up at it. Anyway, two big thumbs up from hubby. Wheelchair friendly. Clean restrooms. Great service from our attentive and sweet server. Food came out very fast. I also much mention the Diet Coke. You know how some are just better from certain fountains? Yes, this was one of those cold fountain Coke's that was just so good. It really hit different. I ordered water as per usual because I try to not drink soda too much, especially while I eat, but hubby mentioned how good it was so, of course I had to try it. He was right. Very good indeed. If you are in the area, don't miss out on this lil restaurant. You will not be disappointed! The only negative thing I can say is they are only open until 3pm on weekdays and only until 2pm on the weekends. Guess that's a good complaint though. LOL Sure wish they were open for dinner too b/c we'd really be eating here a lot!!

Picked up dinner from Christo's on a Saturday night, and everything we ordered was a hit…read more We went with a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza, pepperoni bread, and lemon pepper wings. The pizza was definitely the star of the meal. It had a crispy bottom with a light, fluffy crust, giving it a really nice texture from the first bite to the last. One thing that stood out was the sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the top. It's a simple touch, but it added another layer of flavor that made the pizza stand out from your typical pepperoni pizza. This was my first time trying the pepperoni bread, and it didn't disappoint. It had plenty of filling, great flavor, and paired really well with the pizza. It's something I'd order again without hesitation. The lemon pepper wings were another favorite. They had a crispy outside, were seasoned well, and the lemon pepper flavor came through without being overpowering. Overall, we were really happy with everything we ordered. The pizza, pepperoni bread, and wings all lived up to expectations. Next time, I'll probably branch out and try a few more items from the menu. Food: 5 out of 5 Service: 5 out of 5 (Takeout) Value: 5 out of 5 Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

A delightful experience!…read more As part of my quest to pair coffee houses, with bike trails, I popped into Caffe Di Riverwalk, following a 28 mile ride around Lake Monroe. That was a great decision, on my part. The staff was pleasant, the ambiance was charming, the Eggy Bagel I had was great, but the star of the show was the caramel latte they created for me. I believe the phrase my youngest daughter would use, is "Amazeballs". I'm not exactly sure what metrics are involved in reaching amazeballs status, but I do know it is several rungs above amazing. I'll be back!

It is very much the type of environment that calls for a sit down-even if a brief one. I noticed most folk sat in with their coffees/food/pastries. The service was friendly but sadly the espresso and steamed milk machines were broken during my visit meaning many coffee items were unavailable. Major bummer as I am an iced latte lover so I settled for a cold brew which was decent. I definitely would have preferred a latte so hopefully next time I'm in Sanford, all systems are go. I also ordered the breakfast croissant sandwich and requested the turkey option instead of regular bacon. I would have assumed the "turkey" option meant turkey bacon. To my surprise it was actually deli sliced turkey. While it wasn't overall unpleasant, I would have preferred turkey bacon given it is a breakfast sandwich. Would have given it that crispy element. But as stated, it was nice and a good size for the price tag. I didn't have room for any pasty, cake or pie but looking forward to trying next time as they all looked really yummy on the display case! If you are looking for a coffee or quick cafe stop in Sanford, this is a notch above the chains and worthy of a stop!
