    First off, I wish Waffle house would open in CA!! I was so excited to dine in at Waffle House for the first time. Literally the best service at a casual dining restaurant that I have ever been to. The server was very kind, quick to take our order, checked in several times to drop off syrup, jams, and told us not to rush. I asked if we could purchase a Waffle House coffee mug and she told us they do not sell merchandise in store..only on Amazon or on their website. FYI - Like many restaurants now with the nationwide egg shortage, they added a temporary egg surcharge of $0.50 per egg. We ordered the Breakfast Meal ($7.50 - 2 eggs, toast, hashbrowns) and the All star Special ($13.25 - 2 eggs, waffles, bacon & tomatoes). The breakfast came out fast and was delicious especially the soft, warm, waffles!! The butter melted quickly on the waffles and the syrup was perfect. I'm loving Waffle House and please open in CA!!!

    On our way to El Paso, the family got hungry, so we decided to stop by Waffle House. I honestly expected a standard experience, but I was pleasantly surprised--it was fantastic! The staff was incredibly friendly, and our waiter was genuinely kind to my son, which made us feel so welcome. The restaurant had that classic old-school diner feel, bringing back a lot of nostalgia. And the food? Absolutely delicious. My wife and I shared a waffle, but we also got a burger and a breakfast plate on the side. Safe to say, anytime I'm passing through El Paso, I'll be making a stop here again!

    My very first Waffle House experience! We don't have any in the PNW so when we were visiting Tucson for the first time - thought it would be a great idea. It reminded me of a Denny's (which is common in PNW). The atmosphere was very neat, service was good and pricing was reasonable. This location was convenient as it was close to the freeway. Highly recommend giving it a shot

    Waffle House is the better chili in tucson. Full and thick no juice. Go there and try it.

    Freddie the Greeter! This place has him! He even has his own YouTube channel. Great service, great food. They should do something about the pesky flies around. We had sides of hash browns, bacon and, of course, a waffle. You don't leave this place hungry. A classic!

    House Rules.  I wonder what happened in order for these rules to be made, lol

    Our first time visiting a Waffle House, and by mere luck we're at Freddy the Greeter's location! A Tucson ICON! I can see why his name gets around. He is a character and a friendly man overall :) A great start to my Waffle House experience. By the way, he did mention he's only here on weekends. We ordered the Sausage Egg and Cheese on Texas Toast and the Bacon Texas Cheesesteak Melt, each with a side of hasbrowns. I also got a cup of chili. I will say, the fact that I can add all these toppings to my hasbrowns was a game changer!! Mushrooms, jalapeños, onion, and chili! DEE-LISH. 5/5 stars for my first time at Waffle House.

    Stopped here on our way back from El Paso to Lancaster. We had been driving for hours and I got a grumble on my stomach. I wanted to sit down and have some coffee so I found this gem on Yelp. I am sure glad I did. When we walked in we were greeted by the most friendly waiters. She took our order and brought our drinks fast. We were able to see our food being prepared and it came out in a great time. We inhaled that good food and then hit the road. Shout out to the server for giving us a coffee to go.

    My husband and I went to this location for the first time together (and his first time since college) on a Sunday morning. It was busy with a wait, but the greeter and host, Freddie, was so kind and made sure to seat us as soon as a spot opened up. Our waitress, Willow, was also friendly and fast. We enjoyed sitting at the classic counter and watching the chefs at work. My sandwich was delicious, and the peppered and covered hashbrowns were everything I hoped they'd be. My husband enjoyed his All Star Special, and we shared the chocolate chip waffle for "dessert". We will definitely be back to this location!

There's a separate building you can buy local retail, as well as a café where I ordered a dirty Horchata (not realizing it had coffee lol), a sandwich with fries, and one of the baked desserts (a brownie with something I can't remember lol).

This time ordered the Simply Eggy Breakfast. The marmalade was unique and the eggs were perfectly poached. The portions are standard, so there will likely be no leftovers. For the portions though, I would say the price is a little on the higher end. To finish my friend got a tahini brownie on the way out and we found it to be very pleasant and not overly sweet. I would love to try their coffees and teas!

This is…read moreone of their two Tucson locations--the Campbell Avenue spot, with the other on Grant Road. It's a very casual place staffed by kind and welcoming students, and the food is genuinely good. The Smoked Salmon Beni stood out in the reviews, and it did not disappoint when I finally got to try it. I'll be attaching a photo, but it tasted every bit as good as it looked. I also noticed the shaved steak sandwich on the menu and in several Yelp photos, so I'll definitely have to come back and try that next. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

    These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.

I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy.

(well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food.

Pancakes, german pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict(s) monte cristo, omelets, croque madame, country chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy, chilaquiles con pollo, avocado toast, savory crepe, and even a breakfast pizza. Oh and they offer a few skillet options too-southwest, loaded baked potato, and sausage and peppers skillet. So many options!! I can't speak too much for lunch but I did see burgers on the menu. Not too helpful in that arena sorry. The eggs Benedict with ham was awesome. Side of potatoes with a bit of all seasoning and a side salad with awesome light dressing comes with it. The dutch baby was also great. A german pancake served savory with sausage. Huge portion. Come check this place out and make sure if you don't want to wait you call in advance when driving there and ask to get on their "wait list" you may not be able to get a reservation but you can do this.
