This was my first time ever at a Waffle House and I am SO HAPPY that I came to this one! They were absolutely amazing and wonderful here! As soon as I walked in and sat myself, I was promptly greeted. Not even seconds by and many of them asked if I needed to her served. Talk about good customer service! Everyone was friendly, the team had such an amazing vibe and energy between them that exuded into the dining area! Overall, everyone was happy and just working together. The dynamics of this team and establishment was exquisite! I don't think I've ever been to a diner like waffle House and the experience was great here. Ordering from a simple menu, how the server just tells the cook right there, and just seeing your food being made in front of you. Amazing. I've been always told to come here after a few too many drinks so I've always stayed away since that was the notion of it, but this establishment proved that wrong. I would totally enjoy coming here for breakfast everyday! The food was amazing, delicious and an amazing value. Honesty, if you're looking for a good breakfast with a happy team and customer service, it's here. Great customer service, great employees equals amazing and nurturing food! read more

I'm a disabled veteran (wheelchair bound) and enjoyed the food at the Waffle House until they added 20% to my order simply because it was to go (I sent my son to pick it up and the up charge disappointed me greatly. 20% more just because I wanted it to go because I can wheel through the doors to dine-in.

I love Waffle House! It is the perfect place for all the dinner basic goodness. This Thomasville Road location has the best customer service. The staff is super kind and always have a smile on their face. They are pleasant on the phone for take out and in-person. Today, I was placing a To Go order and my phone went out. So I jumped in the car and drive over to this location to place my To Go order in-person. When I walk in, the amazing waitress asks if I was the Hashbrown bowl order. I was so happy. She put in the order even with my phone cutting her off. That was so sweet. She was kind in conversation. Now let's talk food, the bacon egg and cheese Hashbrown bowl was made perfectly. The Hashbrowns and bacon were crunchy. The chesse was cheesy. The scrambled egg was just right. Thank you for always having great customer service no matter which staff member you come in contact and for the reliable yummy food. read more

I was surprised to find a Waffle House on here with such a high rating. I've been to many Waffle Houses, but this was probably the best experience I've ever had. The waitress (Stephanie) was attentive and accommodated splitting checks for our large group. Our order was taken immediately and the food came out quickly. Mike made our food as requested, and Stephanie even double checked that we were happy with the food. 10/10, 5 stars, excellent service. This Waffle House even has weekly specials! We aren't local, but we will be back. read more

Honestly have not had a noteworthy experience at a Waffle House in my life until today. Such excellent attitudes and respect in the workplace. I honestly was taken back by this work environment. I have to rate this Waffle House 5 stars because the management is doing something right. JSLADE our waitress had an inspiring positive attitude and was such a kind lady! She provided 5 star service that most 5 star restaurants in Tallahassee couldn't achieve. If you ever go to Waffle House in Tallahassee AVOID the Tennessee st one at all costs and make the drive to Thomasville because you won't be disappointed! The food came out quicker than I could take a sip of my drink! Great job here and I hope this management could help save all restaurants in Tallahassee. read more

There are times when you want good diner food for breakfast: fresh eggs cooked properly, crispy hash browns, coffee. Sadly, there aren't any traditional diners here, but the Waffle House isn't a bad alternative. They were hopping when we went on New Year's Day. We were quickly seated at the counter, so I had a chance to watch them cook. And I have to tell you, the kitchen team ran like a well oiled machine. The manager was expediting, and everyone else was on top of their game at their particular station. The food was coming out with amazing speed considering everything is cooked to order. The fact that they use real eggs for everything, and not "eggs" from a carton is not only a we one find, but says a lot about how they care about doing breakfast food right. The omelet was light and fluffy (helped by the fact that they use a blender to whip up the fresh eggs) and perfectly cooked. The toast was actually toasted, which is something that you almost never see. And the hash browns were crispy and tasty, and can be had in a multitude of ways (mine were scattered, smothered, capped and covered). Is it fine dining? No. But it is dining that is quite fine (and only a food snob would have trouble appreciating good diner food). And the service was quick and attentive. Waffle House is now high in our rotation of breakfast stops. read more

What's not to like about this place? It's good old fashioned diner food prepared at a lightning fast pace. I've never had bad service here or a bad meal. I usually get the All-Star Special: eggs, toast, bacon or sausage, homefries or grits and a waffle on the side. This is great food after a night of perilous drinking, but it's tasty on a Saturday morning too. read more

Well, what can be said about Waffle House, that hasn't already been said in your favorite country song. Breakfast is hard to screw up, and their waffles are great. People tend to go for one of two reasons, either they are drunk or they feel that they need some grease to lubricate their digestive track. Whatever reason, once I walk out the door, I always wish I would have thought a little harder about my decision to dine there. So, if you really want to get a snapshot of the population, and you need to lubricate your intestines, stop in to your local WF. They will not disappoint. Hey, you might get lucky like we did, and have flies buzzing around your table. Yum! read more

If you're looking for a straight forward diner breakfast, you need to try Waffle House. It is nothing fancy, but the food is good and the servers are super friendly and attentive. I typically get an omelet with home fries and toast. Everything is made to order and they use fresh eggs. I especially like that they actually toast the bread so that it is brown, not that pale tan you get at many restaurants. A couple of times we sat at one of the tables that overlook the kitchen, and were impressed with the speed and efficiency of the kitchen. Another plus is that the service is fast. I don't believe that we have ever waited more than 10 minutes for our food to be served. read more

I'm not one to complain, however our late night dinner last night was something that I'd like to forget. It was around 9:30 when we stopped in for a late dinner. We were the only customers in the restaurant. Our waitress yawned the entire time that we were there. My husband ordered a hamburger (NO CHEESE) on Texas Toast (on the side). He just wanted a grilled hamburger patty basically. I ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad. Our waitress said to "let her see if they had made lettuce" (not salad)! So after walking to the cooler she came back to let me know that "they had not made lettuce". So I ordered a Ham & Cheese Omelet instead. *Back to the hamburger for my husband that he did not want cheese on. The cook took the Texas Toast and put it on the griddle then placed a piece of cheese on each slice. Our waitress had gone to a table behind us, sat down and was looking/playing on her cell phone. So I said, "excuse me sir, no cheese on the T.T. please". He didn't understand me and asked, "no cheese in the omelet?" I finally made him understand that I did want cheese in my "Ham & Cheese Omelet", but did not want cheese on the Texas Toast. Ugh... Needless to say - over all our dinner was not the ususal for Waffle House. read more

It's quick, it's good, and it's cheap. What more do you need? Always a good place to stop for a quick meal any time of day, especially for breakfast. Our service was extremely fast and friendly, and our food was very good, as always. read more

The Lunchbox

When we asked for suggestions on where to grab a delicious fulfilling breakfast in Tallahassee…read morethis place was mentioned 3 times. It was recommended that we ordered for takeout due to its popularity and size, so we did. Upon arrival, the parking lot was jampacked, and there were people on the outside waiting for tables. Our order was ready for pickup pretty quickly. The place is tiny and cute on the inside. The lady at the counter was pleasant and welcoming. The food was hot even after making it back home. The food was tasty and well seasoned. Best of all, the food was inexpensive.

Unfortunately, the service from my waitress was disappointing. Within seconds of my food arriving, she handed me the check. Before I even had a chance to eat, she came back asking if everything was okay and whether she could take the check. I felt rushed throughout the meal and didn't get an opportunity to enjoy my food at my own pace. The food itself was good, but the dining experience was negatively affected by the service.

They've got a great text msg based system to alert you when your table is ready, so you can go to another store or wait in the car without missing out. The food is always solid and they've got plenty of healthy breakfast options. I had a power wrap today with egg whites, spinach, chicken sausage, etc and a side of fruit. Forgot the pictures before it got devoured however. The coffee is just so so in my opinion - somehow a little weak and yet a tad bitter. Otherwise, everything we've had today and on previous visits has been very good and the restaurant is clean. Service was excellent and our server came to check on us plenty of times.

My husband's waffle had a slight bleach taste to it, and both of our scrambled eggs were completely overcooked and bland. The chicken sausage was very bland and disappointing as well. Most definitely will not be back however wanted to write this review for others to be wary. In our honest opinion not worth the wait time OR the price.

I was hungry for eggs Benedict and they offered several. The one with Bradleys smoked sausage caught my attention. I ordered it with home fries. A few minutes passed and my breakfast arrived. Chopped smoked sausage, peppers atop perfectly poached eggs and a toasted English muffin. Crispy hot home fries were good. There's no mistaking the smoky taste and aroma of Bradleys. I loved my breakfast!

This was disgusting! The food was mediocre, as most restaurants in Tallahassee are, but the bacon is baked, making it very crispy, which was the only good thing I can say about the place. They should shut this place down and deep clean everything- replace ceiling tiles, repaint, scrape and refinish the floors, and steam clean textiles. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like! We will not be visiting this restaurant ever again! My hair reeked from it after leaving! Yick!

Happened last year but wanted to share as my complaint sent to corporate was never responded to. I guess the lack of accountability permeates the organization. I went to this dennys a handful of times over the last few years. It is by far the worst dennys I've ever been too. And I've driven the lower 48 in my trucking days so I've been to a lot of dennys. Asked for crispy hash browns. Common request and never been denied anywhere I've eaten. Came out soggy and sent them back. I rarely if ever send food back but they were the polar opposite of crispy. Easily overheard cook yell in an aggressive tone "that's as crispy as he's going to get." I get it, it's a shitty job at a shitty restaurant and it was busy that morning, but that was uncalled for. Server was apologetic. I told her I'll pay for the coffee I drank while I waited for my food but I'm leaving. Watched the server speak with the manager and explain so he could remove the food charge. Manager looked over at me several times while they spoke and never came by my table to discuss. It's obvious he had no interest in addressing it or correcting his cook. They removed it. I paid for the coffee/tip and left.
