I came for breakfast and the server was nice and very polite. Quick service but the food was terrible. The waffles were too sweet, cold the eggs I got added with cheese and onions it tasted like the oil was old. The sausage tasted old too I took one bite and didn't touch it again. It made me sick to my stomach for hours. I wouldn't recommend unless you have an iron stomach. But the service was nice. read more

So check this out. This place is amazing! I come here often for the food & drinks because the truth is I can't get enough. Every time I enter I am quickly greeted/helped by Julio & the rest of the crew. Julio is absolutely incredible, I don't even know what waiting feels like because he always on top of it! read more

I will say the food was good. The quality of the food was nice, but the service was horrible because they were understaffed. read more

Coffee cup was beyond dirty but was told the cup was clean, the server said it was clean and that it was normal looking. Does that look right to you?? Would you drink out of this or continue with ordering? I had to cancel our order. Yes, I'm OCD and seeing this grossed me out! Disappointed with service and the fact that the drinks are was dirty! Would explain why there was hardly anyone else there, that should have been a straight up hint for us. read more

This is by far one of the worst places to eat. Food was mediocre at best, portions are too small and they don't even have fried chicken! What kind of chicken and waffles place don't have fried chicken? LOL. Will never come back and I won't recommend anyone to eat here. read more

I enjoy the chicken and waffles. I haven't been here in a few months but I will go this week. The staff are always friendly. The chicken could be better but I enjoyed it. read more

Well, ...it is Palmdale, so. I feel I could end this review there, but let's go the distance. Waffle Kitchen is located on the east side of Palmdale, where gas stations are the only culinary competition. Waffle Kitchen is easy to find, and because there is a shopping plaza on every corner in Palmdale, there is ample parking. Prior to Waffle Kitchen, this restaurant was a Chili's but due to the unsavory characters and hostile environment of east Palmdale, ...Chili's got out of Dodge. Thanks to the previous tenants, Waffle Kitchen is a modern restaurant. The exterior is welcoming, and the interior is comfortable. Like most businesses in America, founded upon slavery, Waffle Kitchen is struggling to balance its workforce and customer service. Luckily for my family and me, we came in early, so our server only had our table and one other. Our server was effective, working hard enough to not get fired, and I don't blame them. Most people do not know the difference between effective and efficient. Effective is getting the job done, while efficiency measures how WELL the job is done. Waffle Kitchen, judging by the name alone, swagger-jacking Waffle House, does not do the job WELL, and that is reflected in a number of other reviews... but again, ...it is Palmdale. The menu looks identical to Primo Burgers across the street, and do not be miss led by the name, waffles do not receive any extra attention or fan fair. My father ordered the ham and cheese omelet, my son ordered the pancakes, and I ordered the French Toast... ...the omelet had a slice of cheese on top, but Waffle Kitchen was effective, not efficient, as they did deliver our food hottish, relatively flavorful, and in a timely manner. The prices are competitive. Waffle Kitchen is a missed opportunity, as so many businesses are in America. If this company were a cooperative business, the service from the front host to the kitchen... would care and take pride in their craft, as every aspect of the business would be THEIR business. But, ...then again, it is Palmdale. I gave this restaurant 4 stars because all considered... it is good, but far from great. I'd be hard pressed to recommend Waffle Kitchen, but that could be said for virtually any business in Palmdale. I am grateful for the dining experience, and for that, thank you to the staff and management. With love, Rojo read more

Waffle Kitchen - Breakfast with champions - Waffles Near Me - Palmdale, California

Not many people present but slow service to order and all downhill after that. Took a while to get my cold food. It seemed that it sat back in kitchen for a while. I then get food but no fork. It took a bit to flag a waitress to get a fork. My order was missing a extra item which I ordered. Coffee refills nowhere to be seen. Waitresses were running around like they were really busy yet other tables were not getting helped either. Maybe them TO GO orders were keeping everyone busy?? Bad experience. read more

Not a bad vibe. It used to be a Chili's, but that failed, so it became the Waffle House. Seems like a dive for locals. The crowd is a little iffy. The menu is somewhat varied, but the dishes are nothing special. I once ordered a skillet, and had to cut up the bacon myself. I recently ordered a meat lovers pizza, and it seemed very cheaply prepared and overly salty. Servers seemed okay. Place and restrooms seemed clean, although a lot of scratched graffiti in men's restroom. So, overall, not bad, but not great place. read more

I been going to this place since it opened up. I go here because its local and it's down the block feom my house. Im very disapointed I ordered a MiCheleada and the bartender said no he was not making that. Then my husband asked for a large beer and the waitress said I'll see what I have and I'll bring you whatever I have with an attitude. isn't it supposed to be what customers order and not what they want to serve and what they want to bring out and what they want to make at the bar. I am so so disapointed I wont be coming back to this place, it it said it to me because I live in the community and I support the community and the people that work there are Hispanic and you would think that everybody supports everybody in this community. I'm also Hispanic so I'm very very disappointed in their actions. read more

I love having drinks at the bar in a weekend evening. It's really a nice spot , The only complaint I have is the regretton music they play all night. Kinda gets tiring. I really wish they switched the music once in a while . Other than that, I like the place. read more

I've been here a couple of times. It's always empty. I wonder why? I just came in for a Bud Light. The two times I came in for it, it did not taste like bud light. It was sour and disgusting. I let it go the first time and I thought they would have fixed the problem but they haven't. Maybe I'm exaggerating but; $12 for a Modelo? Really. read more

Recently went here with my family on Saturday. Let me start off by saying Wow! The food was absolutely amazing and i loved the service and the workers attitude. The ambiance was so nice i felt like i was at home with family. Overall 10/10 Would definitely come again! read more

Food is way to overpriced has no seasoning not that good for the price service is okay

Well where to start. First off the service is HORRIBLE. Like no joke, the place was pretty empty too, so I would have understood if they were packed and I know in this day that businesses are under staffed. But there was no body really in there. So we waited about 10 minutes before anyone came over to take our order. When she did, she was RUDE and snappy. We then waited 30 minutes for our COLD food. I was very upset over this, they really didn't want to take the food back to fix it. Sorry when I am paying money to eat out I expect the food to at least be done and not cold. I I did lodge a formal complaint with the manager, because we waited after we were done and the plates were taken away we had to wait 30 more minutes for the check. We will not be going back. the food i not even that goo. read more

This is my second time here--30 days ago. The first time the food was enjoyable. Sadly, the Cafe's Best Burger was far from good. The sesame bun was not fresh; it completely fell apart, and the burger was dry and overcooked. A significant difference from the first visit. read more

I'm going to start off with a positive... The service is great. The food is usually pretty good too. Portions are small. Pretty expensive here also. The music selection that is played here is AWFUL!!!!! I feel like I'm in a club ....very very raunchy music, inappropriate for a restaurant environment. FAMILIES COME IN HERE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WITH CHILDREN! read more

Waffle Kitchen - Waffles Benedict - Waffles Near Me - Palmdale, California

I have been at this location a few times. My review of this please it's going to be very honest the food sucks. The wings are OK, but their service is horrible. They take forever to serve you and constantly have to hunt down the waiter to get back if you need anything else. Overall a one star shouldn't even be there, and also beware that if your bill it's over $100 they will automatically implement a 20% gratuity even if their service sucks!!! read more

If youre okay with at a table with foul unedited music playing over your family this dining room is for you. Please do something about those interrogation lights over the tables. This review is for management. Staff service is wonderful, everybody, servers, cooks and bartenders. Nice food, nice price but fix your atmosphere. read more

Well, the service was alright. However the food was not worth it, 20 dollars for two small waffles with a piece of chicken which wasn't even fully covered to sauce in the middle, and the had browns on the side were horrendous, no flavor whatsoever even when I put some salt on it. Finally, the pancakes were also intact overpriced and tasted terrible, the texture was like rubber. Not a nice experience, don't recommend. In 2023 we can't afford shoddy places such as this. read more

Ignoring the short-staffed issue, this was still a disappointing visit. Once we were seated, we discovered that our table was sticky and had clear rings from soda. In a previous visit, I noticed that the finish on the tables or maybe they're cleaning supply or even the combination of both resulted in stickiness. That previous visit was about 2 years ago and shortly after they opened. I would have thought they could have remedied that within 2 years. The server was quite nice, though and did not seem irritated that we asked for the table to be wiped down. I give them low rating, because the restaurant was practically empty and there were many other tables that they could have seated us at. Also, I found it strange that during increased covid precautions they chose to fill only the adjoining booths. The restaurant has a decent selection of tables and space, especially considering that they did not have many customers. I'm not sure why the four parties of 2-4 people, all had to be in the same row of booths. We ordered our meal, requesting an appetizer of nachos. When the meal was delivered, the nachos arrived at the same time as some of our main dishes. On the first food drop off, we received the nachos, a side of bacon on its own plate, and my husband's omelette. She said was coming back with the other meal - Bacon & Cheddar Waffle. My husband had to call after her to ask if she got that he also ordered one pancake. She irritatedly said, "yeah, that's coming, too". The parties both in front of us and behind us had been seated and already ordered their food before we sat in the booth. Understandably, someone from the booth behind us asked if anything had happened to their food, because they have been waiting longer than us. The tone of voice and response was quite curt and irritable, saying they were working on it. I can understand that things were not running smoothly in the kitchen, because they were obviously short-handed. Her response could have been much friendlier or kinder, though. After talking to that party, she came out with a couple plates for their table, my husband's pancake, and my waffle. She dumped the waffle in front of me and the waffle in front of my husband, even as my husband was politely saying that the waffle was for me. She couldn't be bothered because she was looking for a place to set a plate with syrup and butter for each of us. I tell she was busy and just decided to change the plates, myself. As I reach for the waffle she said be careful that the plate was hot, but made no attempt to actually move the plates, even though her hands were now free. She stood, watching me move it and yes, the plate was quite hot. Then she left to get more food for the table behind us. She dropped off their food and we had to call after her to please bring us silverware. She brought the silverware quickly enough, but the table behind us had to also get her attention to request their silverware. The food itself was okay. I like their waffles because they are very light & airy. The syrup is also nice because it is less sweet than most. However, both of these characteristics worked poorly with my chosen meal. The cheddar\bacon waffle was pretty bland on its own, so I poured on syrup. The end result was that the waffle got soggy, but somehow still lacked flavor. I almost wonder if the syrup was watered down. I do not like supper sweet breakfasts, so I expected to really taste the syrup's addition. I don't understand how, but the waffle still managed to be bland. Bland flavor and mushy texture is about all I got. As for the nachos, we were disappointed that they came out with our breakfast, instead of before. We took a couple chips, but decided to eat our main meals while they were warm. I normally like their nachos, because their chips are thin, crispy, and fresh. However, by the time we finished our breakfast, the chips were soggy and could only be picked up with a fork. We left 3\4 of the nachos and 1\3 of my waffle behind. I am not sure that I want to go back. Yes, the waffle was still thin and airy, the syrup less sweet, and the chips thin, crispy, and fresh. It just wasn't a pleasant experience and I am debating on if I would want to deal with the service, in order to get them again. Also, I could also make a big rant about how long we had to wait, because they were short-handed, but I think the irritable attitude of our server, lack of forethought with seat us close to everyone, at a tables that was not clean, without silverware, and the overall disappointment in my meal alone, were worth a rating of 1. I am restraining myself from going on about the issue of not paying enough to get competent and happy employees. That would be a whole other review! read more

The food at this place was bangin', don't get me wrong. The service, however, is absolutely terrible. We were the only table besides one other and 2 people in the bar area, and the server took FOREVER to come get our drink order. When she finally did, she didn't bring the drinks back until one person in our party went up to the front and asked if we could get them, and then was abruptly dismissed by the bartender. We then waited another 15 minutes for our drinks with barely anyone in the restaurant. It literally made no sense. I almost wanted to just go pour the drinks myself. When the food came, it was on point! The wings were great and someone at our table got the chicken waffle sandwich and said it was the best sandwich ever! This place would have gotten more stars if the staff wasn't so lazy and dismissive. read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful and very spacious. The service was great and the server were welcoming but if you are going there for food, please do yourself a favor and choose a fast food joint instead. Either they need to invest in a different menu to not give out false advertising or a different chef with better ingredients. Very disappointed in the frozen waffles we were served. read more

What was supposed to be a pleasant Brunch on our visit at 11:16am turned out to be quite an experience. Our first surprise was that upon entering and standing in the entrance waiting to be seated, no one came, after a reasonable amount of time, we sat ourselves down and when our server Hannea F. finally saw us, we were told that we should have rung the bell button to get someone's attention, and insisted upon showing us where this doorbell looking button was. We were tired and really did not feel like getting up so soon, but we followed and were able to see the bell button (see photo). We were given our menu and after another fair amount of time had passed received our Coffee and Water. We settled on what is called the Pancake Combo two of them, one with Bacon and one with Sausage, and 1 Hash brown on the side (see photo) The food finally arrived after a lengthy wait and considering that there were only a couple and a party of 3 this seemed odd. To begin with how the food was, I will start by saying the Hash Brown was very greasy and as you can see by the attached photo, not much to look at, difficult to split between two people and have more then a decent mouthful and most assuredly not worth the $5.95 charge. In my humble opinion , the two best things from this so called Brunch was the Coffee, not so much the taste as it was good and hot, and the Pancakes which were very tasty indeed, however, please take a good look at both our receipt in the attached photo and a closer look to where it states in parenthesis (4 cakes) then look at our Pancakes in the photo, does that look like 4 Pancakes to you??? NO...ONLY 3 , now given the fact that we both got the exact same amount of Pancakes tells me that either the register inadvertently made a clerical error or this was an attempt to cheat us as customers and perhaps even charged us more for this lie. When it came time to pay, I looked at the total amount due (see photo) and carefully explained to our server all of the discrepancies we had encountered today, and how ridiculous the price was for what we actually received , but equally important was the poor service and how no tip would be given. But in all fairness I will give a tip ... and here it is.... If you wish to make a little extra for your service , provide better service and it is not my responsibility to bring all these discrepancies' to your Managers attention , it is yours! read more

Nice bar and so so food not much more to say I would go back to have a few drinks and a small appetizers but that's it

So many options on the menu! Where do I start? When it comes to waffles you think every restaurant offers these tasty treats and don't give it much thought. When you name your restaurant after these delights that's worth a visit. So my breakfast meal of choice the Egg Benedict Waffle. Have to say it was delicious, yes it's a strange combination, but your taste buds will thank you. read more

First off, they do not even deserve 1 star. Horrible, horrible restraunt. The staff is unfriendly, rude and acts like I'm interrupting their day. The food portions are for a 2 year old, I think they counted the potatoes they put on our plate. Not sure why the waitress took our order because all of the food was wrong. Got up and left. I will never come back! They also offer a 10% senior discount but their computer doesn't allow them to apply it. Get some new management, I'm sure people only go there for the bar. read more

How this place is still open, mind baffles me! The waffles are from dollar store I am convinced lol (yes it was that bad) and the tenders were most likely right next to those waffles because it was the worst excuse for chicken lol. My daughter literally threw her food straight in the trash... she is 4... shut this place down and save your selves the "time" you take to make these foods. 0/100 DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Food was decent, tastes homemade and average. Nothing special. Service was eh, was not greeted at door. The server basically said what do you want and we waited a while. read more

I've only ate here twice. I decided to go back because I really enjoyed their waffles but after today I'm NEVER going back. The staff is so disrespectful and unsanitary. It's disgusting. It was around 10am when I went to pick up my food and it was empty no one was there besides 3 employees and their manager. When I got home and took my food out, there was this piece of GUM holding two to-go boxes. Immediately I called to speak to the manager and was told, "he was a little busy if I wanted to leave a message or call back". I said I would wait while I got in my car and drove back. The MANAGER and employee were sitting talking while my phone call had not been answered. He refunded my money and said he would give me a fresh order of food but gave me the same food that was in the boxes. They're disgusting, no one should have to deal with something like that in the FOOD industry! read more

Waffle Kitchen - Waffles Near Me - Palmdale, California

I recently moved to the Palmdale area. Been checking out different restaurants in the area when I stumbled across Waffle Kitchen. I saw a lot of mixed reviews and was unsure if I wanted to try it. I am SO glad that I did!! I stopped in Sunday morning around 8:30AM. Ordered the whole waffle breakfast. The waffles were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection. I asked for the bacon (4 pieces) crisp. Bacon was perfectly crisp. The waffles had such an amazing flavor to them. Next time I think I will ask for them to be topped with fruit. The scrambled eggs were way better than any sit down (not fast food) restaurant. Bacon was applewood smoked and super tasty!! Now let's get to the service. When I walked in there was only 1 table seated. I wondered why the heck is this place so empty on a Sunday morning. There was not anybody up front to greet me. At first I thought it may take some time and then before I knew it this gal appeared from the back and greeted me. I told her that I ordered take out. She asked me my name and told me to hold on a sec. Another gal, super pretty (not that it matters, but!! lol) came out and had my order with her. She was very nice (didn't catch her name) in my communicating with her. I could feel through the containers that the food was piping hot. Smelled really good. She told me next time I should dine in because the food would be fresher. The place I moved into is just under a mile away from the place so i knew that would not be an issue. Overall my experience was excellent. Next time I think I will dine in there. I asked the gal who had my order why it was so empty for a Sunday morning. She told me it is usually busier. I told her if the food was as good as the service that I would post a positive Yelp review. If you are in the East Palmdale area definitely check this place out!! read more

Went to waffle kitchen with the wife for breakfast. The ambiance was very funny, it was a sports themed diner? I think. The chicken club sandwich was pretty good. I could not say the same for my wives "Giant Breakfast" $18 for sub par eggs, smelly hashbrowns, and a sausage that could only be described as tasting like soap. The service was pretty good but only because we were some of the only people inside. I would go again but only for lunch. read more
