    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!

A pet friendly patio is at the back. Menus are pretty big with a variety of preconceived dishes although they seem OK with substitutions. My friend tells me they have a turkey sausage option for those who don't eat pork sausage. Our waitress was very friendly, kept our waters filled and checked in on us often. All our food was well prepared and there were plenty of left overs. My mocha cold brew was full of flavor and not too sweet with lots of that coffee flavor shining through. So glad I ordered that with the optional whipped cream on top! Thanks to our friends information we received a military discount on our order. We won't see our friends for a while and we sat at the table talking. After paying our tab the waitress let us know we could stay to visit and offered to refill our waters if wanted. Very sweet.

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.

The line was really long, so we used the iPad they provide to place our order. We selected a matcha, but the iPad never gave us the option to choose between hot or iced. We assumed it would come iced, which is our mistake for assuming. When our order came out, the matcha was hot. We went inside and politely asked if there is any chance we could get it iced instead since there was no option on the iPad. The owner herself took the drink and remade it, which we appreciated, but her attitude toward us after was unnecessary. She told us that next time we should order directly with them because we just "wasted their cups" and so on. We apologized again and explained that we would have selected iced if the iPad had actually given us that option, but she didn't really acknowledge what we were saying. What made the experience more disappointing is that I work in coffee myself, so I understand what it's like when things get busy. I chose Barista Del Barrio out of all the coffee shops in the area specifically because I'm Latino and wanted to support a Latino-owned business. I even tipped when I placed the order on the iPad, so I was disappointed with how we were treated over something as simple as an ordering-system issue.
