Ok, lowkey I think I love Waffle House?! And the deal is such a steal! I randomly came here for dinner and got the All-Star Special: bacon, eggs, a waffle, toast, and hashbrowns. All this for under $15?! The waffle was really fluffy, but I especially loved the hashbrowns. My waitress told me to add cheese and onions and I'm so glad she did because they tasted SOO good! I also loved that I got an actual plate of bacon instead of just a sad strip or two. I also added a side of cheesy grits for $4.50, but they were just ok. I would skip them next time and stick with the All-Star Special. My waitress was soooo nice. It definitely feels like a neighborhood spot with lots of regulars, since the waitresses were greeting customers by their first names. It's not a very big diner, so it feels cozy and intimate. I'll definitely be back for another All-Star Special! read more

We stopped there on our way to an Orioles baseball game. It was pretty busy on a Saturday morning, but we quickly got a spot at the counter. I had my usual senior citizens, pecan waffle with bacon and iced tea. Everything was great as usual. Love me a pecan waffle! Hubby had loaded hashbrowns with two eggs on top! He gobbled it right up! We love that you can count on Waffle House for consistent food. It's always fun to sit at the counter and watch how the workers do their thing! Just wish we had waffle houses in our state! read more

What can I say about Waffle House that hasn't been said by countless others? Waffle House is a familiar sight down here in the southeastern United States. It's bright yellow neon sign has drawn in countless people across the generations to enjoy their food and perhaps even the old school diner vibe of the place. My favorite item at Waffle House is by far their hash browns and it really sets them apart. This particular location is just off the highway and was across the street from my hotel. I would definitely recommend here. read more

Waffle House - Diners Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Visiting Florida for vacation and stopped by the iconic Waffle House for the first time. The restaurant was clean. The place was packed on a Saturday, but we were able to get seated fairly quickly. We ordered the two egg breakfast with sausage and a pecan waffle. The food was solid. The waffle texture was similar to a pancake. The service was great and the staff were friendly. If I were to visit the South again and craving American diner food I would definitely return to WH. read more

The food, the staff, the customers and the place itself are a cultural phenomenon one must experience to understand. I love it.

Good food fast Waffle House restaurants have been serving up good food fast for a long time, my visit today for breakfast definitely fit that slogan. This Waffle House is always open, very convenient for travelers along I-75 and for anyone hungry. I stopped in just after 6, there were only a few customers. I sat at the counter and liked watching food being cooked and delivered, including my own. I ordered their All-Star Special, lots of good food that started being dropped off in just a few minutes. This was a substantial breakfast to get my day started. read more

You know what you are getting when you come here. Always greeted when you come in. Best comfort food around. Ordered the eggs n cheese with diced ham and onions, grits, raisin toast. Had to order their signature waffle as well. Never disappoints. Staff is super friendly and Ms Donna took our order today. She is a regular like we are and the prices are still reasonable compared to other breakfast chains. Nothing fancy but good food made by good people. read more

I rate eateries based on my expectations -- is it clean? Are the staff friendly? Is it a good value? Only then, do I consider the food itself. Waffle House meets my expectations of a Waffle House! The eggs are small, the bacon is deliciously paper-thin, and the pancakes are too sweet. Exactly what I need at 2:00 am in the rain! read more

This was my first Waffle House experience and I absolutely loved it. We sat at the counter and I was able to watch the orchestra of orders coming in and being prepared. It was truly impressive. I knew ahead of time that everyone has their own favorite way to top their hash browns. I went plain and loved them! So buttery and crisp. Huge fan. I feel like I'm the only person who hasn't been to a Waffle House before... the space itself is a time capsule. No frills, just breakfast. In and out, so efficient. read more

Eveyone is so welcoming and friendly that works here. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and decent meal.

Had a cup of coffee and a order of toast ( 2 pieces of bread ) Coffee $ 3.00 , toast $ 4.00 and tip $ 2.00 total $ 9.00 . Ridiculous especially the toast , won't be back . read more

It's Waffle House, what's not to love? I mean if you don't love other Waffle House locations then this isn't the place for you, but we have so few Waffle Houses around I wouldn't give anything less than 5 stars as we wanna keep this place available locally. Staff are so nice here. We always enjoy a visit and the food is consistently good. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times have thoroughly enjoyed it. Last week we got to meet Ms Donna and she was lovely. I have been in the evening and in the morning, both visits provided hot, quality food and pleasant company. read more

Friendliest group of folks out there, really. :) Debbie and Helene are super. Multiple employees always greet customers upon entry. Sit where you want. It's busy and bustling, so not a place to come for a quiet, intimate conversation ;) Standard WH menu that comes out blazing fast and accurate. Coffee is sufficient. Waffles tasty as ever. No real vegan options, few vegetarian, but enough. Only critique here - the entry door squeaks every time it's opening REALLY LOUDLY such that it startles every single time. Ha! Perhaps next visit I'll bring WD-40. We shall see. read more

Waffle House - a coffee cup on a table - Diners Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The Waffle House has always been my favorite option for comfort food for breakfast. The grits are always creamy and taste great. The sage sausage has the best flavor. The waffles are great and come in different flavors. Recently I noticed they even had a healthy choice menu that includes grilled chicken. The service is always great as you a greeted with a smile. There is never an issue when you want to modify a menu item. Your food arrives in a timely manner. The manager is usually in close proximity if you require assistance. The prices are reasonable and haven't increased in a few years. There is also a value menu available with prices starting at $2. This is one of my favorite breakfast spots. read more

Let me start by saying I NEVER have any high expectations when I decide to grab breakfast at a Waffle House location. However, the least of my expectations is to be able to sit at a table and not have spilled milk on the seats. When I brought the issue to the attention of the waitress, her response was "It's clean, I just wiped it down ". I had to literally ask her to clean the milk off the seating area. Of course she couldn't reach so I had to grab the dirty rag and wipe the milk off myself then hand it back to her (I guess walking around the counter to see what I was referring to was not an option for the waitress). I placed my order, which was a very simple order (2 eggs over medium, side of white toast and waffle). She completely missed my toast and looked at me as if it were something new I was now adding to my order. Needless to say, the experience at this location was horrible in addition to the flies and disgusting food preparations area (see photos). I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone unless you are partaking in some medical/penicillin trial and want really put it to the test. The owner(s) of this location should be cited for the unsanitary conditions they are serving the public food. read more

My favorite late night spot. Pecan waffle is always on point and staff very friendly.

We love Waffle House! We ordered crispy hash browns, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, white toast. I love how it's not too fancy, just fast service and yummy food. The restaurant was also decorated for Christmas and very festive. This is a repeat stop on every vacation! read more

Had no plans on waddling out of the Waffle House, but I did. Fat n' happy. And, surprised. I wasn't expecting much, but just wanted to step in and see what this place is all about, since they seem to be ubiquitous here in the southern states. Damn, I can't believe I've been deprived all these years; Californians has yet to be blessed with its greasy, glutonous goodness. My god! I never knew hash browns could be so good, and prepared so many ways - scattered, smothered, covered, mothered... as long as they're in my mouth I was happy. They were so greasy, I didn't expect them to be so good. I also had a jalapeno biscuit with egg, bacon, and cheese. Hard to mess up a fried egg and bacon, but that jalapeno biscuit was slap-your-own ass good, and also kind of greasy. Was a little confused by the mayo packet that came with my breakfast. Is that a southern thing? A Waffle House thing? A good thing I should have tried? So damn cheap too. Now I'm thinking maybe it's a good thing I don't have easy access, or I'd be waddling for damn sure. This place will make you appreciate grease, butter, and pork products. Wish I had more room in mah belly to try out a pecan waffle. Damn, went to a Waffle House - no waffle. Oh well, next time I leave Cali. read more

Fast breakfast, nothing fancy, but always a delicious waffle. When in doubt, not in the mood to get dressed up, this spot is the southern diner. No matter what time, late or early, Waffle House is a save spot to catch a cheap eats. The staff has been there a while and get to know you. Hubby loves the grits, I am partial to the home fries loaded with toppings of you choice. The texas toast steak sandwich is a family favorite, too. read more

First Waffle house experience was a success. Came here with my dad and brothers while we were down on vacation. Very happy upbeat atmosphere and the food was great! Coffee stood out to me, very tasty. Waffles were good and eggs were great! read more

I will say this, their service was absolutely great. Miss Kitty was very helpful very sweet and very attentive. The chefs and the other waiters and waitresses were very kind as well. Not to mention the food was amazing I had a T-bone breakfast with eggs over medium and grits. This was the first time that I ate my entire steak at a waffle house. Thank you for your great hospitality and service.. my husband and I will be back when in the area. read more

We had a great experience, awesome food and amazing service. Our server was named Stecher. I had never been treated this well in any Waffle House before. Thumbs up, highly recommended. We will be back for sure! Thanks Stecher! read more

I love their Texas bacon egg and cheese sandwich, but last time we went there were ants on the syrup bottle and table.

Waffle House used to be known for 24 hours dine in. I frequent often and tipped $20 every time regardless of the poor service. Richelle and a gentleman probably 70+ tonight had chairs blocking the entire dine in area claiming the dine in area was closed. I am often here on third shift with two workers but these two lazy workers decided to close down the lobby. Contacted corporate and will not ever visit this location again but thought you should know that Waffle House (at least in Sarasota FL) is not what it used to be. May want to find a respectful location where cashiers and cooks aren't running the place. read more

no air conditioning! food and service has always been great. restaurant is over 90 degrees.

Walked in - not greeting, no one would even make eye contact with me, then once another couple came in they decided to acknowledge I was there. Got my seat, waitress was snippy and never once asked me about my food once it was served or if I needed a refill just left the check. Place was disgustingly dirty. I could see behind the counter and it was bad. Paid my bill and will never return to this location. read more

I had to do an early morning pit stop before my airport run. I walked in got a welcome greeting from everyone and my order was taken right away. I ordered the slam and man was it good. The service was fast with excellent customer service. The manager kept checking on me and even provided me with a free waffle next time I come however, it will have to wait as I live in the dmv area. read more

This is for the servers. They were the sort of old, sassy, I-don't-give-a-_____-about-you-or-anything-else type of servers. It was like something out of a movie . . . and for the time, place, and context, I loved it. That is, when I go to a place like WH, I want a cheap waffle, a glass of OJ, and some cheap hashbrowns (and cheap they were--the mushroom add-on contained mushrooms out of a can, so they were soggy, disgusting things). I don't want someone pretending to be my best friend. Maybe I have a different sense of "service" than others, but I'd rather have someone take my order, give me my food, fill my water, and move on. When I'm pounding waffles before a trip to the beach I don't need to tell you where I'm from or hear about your life story. I don't need you to flatter me. So, ladies at WH in Sarasota FL, thanks for being craggy and curt the morning of March 21, 2015. It was my birthday, I was alone on business, and I was more than happy to read my phone while eating your chocolatey waffle and canned mushrooms during the 10 minutes I was there. read more

The service was unequivocally amazing. I'm from Cali and I've never had service such as Darci. She is an amazingly great waitress, for her alone I'm coming back and telling all my friends, boss, coworker and every person I meet that they need to go and eat at the Waffle House at 5737 Clark road. sarasota Florida. Thank you very much Darci for such great service and friendliness. read more
