Always good food , good service, and home made desserts to boot. Plus it beats going out of town for affordable breakfast. There's much love in this place and the people who come eat here read more

I enjoy eating here food is good waitress are very friendly and prices are reasonable. They can seat you together for family moving tables together and service is great. And there is wide choice for different foods in other words breakfast lunch and dinner. Food is served fairly fast and refills for drinks. They have clean bathrooms and it is bright and cherry to eat there. read more

Came home for a weekend and ended up picking up breakfast one morning and dining in with my cousins and a couple friends. The ladies (servers and cashiers) were all very friendly and the food was delicious. I will absolutely stop in every time I visit home. I had the fried catfish and a side of grits and chicken and waffles. read more

Overall this is a good place to get a decent breakfast and the staff works hard the issue i have is with check out and how they charge for using a credit/debit card. There's no sign post stating if you use your card and extra fee is charged. I'm not naive to the fact that credit card companies charge for servicing restaurants however I am use to being informed before I pay that a percentage of the meal will be added to the bill if a card is used. Also, if I do use a credit or debit card it would be nice to get an itemized receipt to know what I was charged per item ordered. Again good food and service pricing needs to be more transparent. read more

They've stepped up their social media game, posting appetizing photos intended to bring in the hungry. Our favorites are the: Hamburger Plate: they know how to grill 'em Well and the burger is dressed with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. We get the French fries, which are normally hot and fresh and lightly salted. Waffle w/2 Eggs and Bacon: they know how to cook eggs Well and the waffle is always big and the strawberry topping (think pie filling) without the whipped cream is just right. Bacon is normally pretty lean and cooked to just-crispy. While the food is still constantly good, staff seemed disorganized last time we were in. It's "seat yourself," but no one takes the initiative to tell the obviously first-timers they can take a seat, thereby freeing up the door for the next customer coming in or trying to leave. To be fair, servers are very busy serving customers, but a quick sec on traffic control would keep things moving better. read more

The ability to get breakfast any time of the day and it's always the way you want it!!

Enjoyed the mozzarella sticks and the ham and cheese omlet! There are many food options for breakfast and lunch/dinner!

Service was very attentive, and our first time eating here. The food was great we got the fried pork chops and the grilled pork chops. The salad was not fresh at all we did not even touch it. Will be trying them again when in the neighborhood. read more

If I could give them ZERO STARS I would. Rude beyond measure!! Walked in and was seated for several minutes without a menu to even look over. Flagged a waitress down to only ask for a menu, she yells loudly "I'm coming, gosh!" Meanwhile a gentleman walked in and the same waitress we flagged down to ask for a menu gave the gentleman a menu straight away. Guess you have to be regulars here to be treated with a little respect. I don't mind waiting for my turn but if I'm seated already and don't have a menu and someone walks in and gets a menu and you get nasty with me for asking for a menu... that's a problem!! The old white haired waitress was the rude one!! read more

We had a very nice breakfast here. We're from out of town and the staff was wonderful, and gave you that home feel not the corporate feel. Our waitress, Nicole, was wonderful to talk to and a wonderful server. If you want a family feel of being over a friend's house to have dinner this is the place. It was also very clean with nice decorations but not overdone. read more

Absolutely awesome food and breakfast. Extremely clean restaurant with friendly service. In from out of town and was told to give this place a try and I wasn't disappointed. I honestly believe no matter what you order, you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was fine and also called my date a pig? I ordered light and my girlfriend ordered a bit more because she was hungrier and the server said "making her look like the pig huh" I've also heard stories from others about their service being pretty awful. read more

While visiting my son that is stationed at Fort Polk Louisiana while serving in the US Army, we looked for a place to eat breakfast. After searching I found Waffle Shoppe in nearby Deridder, La. The menu has a large selection of southern country breakfast cooking. I sampled a little bit of everything and even shared a short stack of pancakes with my wife. The taste is very good and the staff is very kind and friendly. I enjoyed everything I ordered and so did my family. I would strongly recommend this place to my family and friends when visiting the area! read more

Waffle Shoppe - Pancakes, eggs, bacon, side of French toast - American Near Me - Deridder, Louisiana

Lots of empty seats, waitress was Polite, the food was good, but they want to charge you for Xtra onions on your Patty melt, frozen chips of onion, tasteless! When I asked server she could've cared less. Place was clean inside. Probably be the last time I visit here, if they are so destitute to have to double charge for onions, they should find other means. read more

Place is disgusting they never heard of hygiene the food taste like dirty dishwater smells it was bad

The coffee tasted burnt, but the mushroom swiss burgers were tasty. The hashbrowns were oddly dry and burnt tasting, but ok if you salted them. The main reason for the low stars was the service. The waitress was rude and literally sighed and rolled her eyes several times when we were giving her our order or asking her questions about the menu. If she doesn't want our business we are more than happy to go somewhere else. The food wasn't all that, definitely not good enough to make up for the antagonistic chaotic atmosphere and less than clean dining area. There are better places. read more

This is a $10 chicken and waffles. You can expect to wait 30 minutes for this................... read more

Best breakfast place in town. Just wish their chairs were made for a resemblance of comfort.

I love the breakfast, and a great selection for breakfast, I love the waffles and pancakes, scrambled eggs hash brown and grits. The biscuits and milk gravy if my favorite. read more

Average wait time for a Sunday after church. Food was average, but not bad. The staff was polite.

I am from DeRidder, been awhile. This building looks like it has been through the ringer a few times. The interior needs a major renovation. The food (photo) was ok, nothing special, the waffle was actually cold. Had to ask for real butter and real cream for the coffee. Service was ok, good attitudes and polite. Remodel time. Maybe Restaurant Rescue? read more

Waffle Shoppe - Waffle with eggs and sausage. - American Near Me - Deridder, Louisiana

Not great. But again small town so options limited. Hash browns were raw. Omelet puffed up for some reason and wwaaaay too browned. Locals keep this place up on stars no doubt read more

Friday morning 0930am packed! Local favorite! The service was prompt, and the waiters and waitresses kind and helpful! The food was out in impeccable time. Hash browns were a little strange, but the eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The grits were okay! Waffles, also okay! It's definitely a small town diner! read more

I visit DeRidder a few times a year, as I have family that live here. We were looking for somewhere to get a quick breakfast bite to eat, and my mom suggested here. She grew up in DeRidder, but has not lived here for over 30 years.. my grandmother could not remember if she had eaten here or not. We ate breakfast on Fat Tuesday, so school was out, it was pretty crowded for a Tuesday morning. The inside could definitely use some updating, but for the location and town, it really didn't phase me. They serve their whole menu all day. I was so tempted to order a patty melt, as it looked delicious, but we were trying to keep it light. I ordered the grits, and a biscuit with cream gravy...mmm! Home cooking at its finest. It was delicious, the grits did need butter, lots more than the 1 packet they brought, and salt, but that could be personal preference. My husband had the egg sandwhich, and he said he reminded him of sandwhiches his dad would make him growing up. He was pleasantly surprised and very happy. My mom had the ham steak - WOW! Definitely order it, it was delicious. Our food came out quickly, and the wait staff were friendly. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot in DeRidder, don't pass up the Waffle Shoppe. read more

The food here is delicious. Their poboys are better then some others places, Their mushroom Swiss burger really good - most place the Swiss is over powering a great balance so you can taste the mushroom and beef. Friendly staff read more

This is the best breakfast in the area. It can get really crowded which will make you wait but it's normally worth it for a giant waffle and some hash browns. The whole menu is reasonably priced. read more

Great home cooking and hot coffee. Very quaint atmosphere, cute posters, very quiet and pleasant. Everything is simple, heavy American food with simple flavors. There is something here for everyone. My boyfriend and I love to come here to sit and talk every now and then. It's very calm and inviting. Some of the wait staff give me odd looks when I go in with my boyfriend, but other than that they seem fairly nice. That would really be my only complaint. All the items on the menu are very affordable, and you can mix and match menu items to make a meal. The menu is also very large, as you can order lunch/dinner and breakfast items at any time of the day. read more

Oh boy the reviews were correct I hate to be harsh but this was not a good experience friendliness sale 1-10 a 2 or 3 I did hear a waitress bragging about tip from a regular so maybe that's who they are friendly too anyways the food I ordered a rib eye and eggs waited 25 min to have the waitress come out with a plate and tell me they made a sirloin instead is that ok well yeah I don't want to wait another 30 min for a steak she corrects bill apologizes which I did appreciate she was very sorry about it after all it's not her fault the food was not very favorable over all this place should be happy no one has opened an I Hop or Denny's in DeRidder. read more

Waffle Shoppe - a plate of breakfast food - American Near Me - Deridder, Louisiana

Walked in right behind a elderly couple and no of the staff acknowledged us. No welcome or it will be a minute to be seated, it was my first time in and will be my last just turned around and walking out read more

Fluffy omelets. NOThing else much to say. The locals stare at you as if to say, "ONLY locals dine here... who are YOU??" My son got sick after eating here but I'm not going to blame the establishment since none of the rest of us did... My major criticism: I ordered a shrimp omelet.. and the waitress had no opinion when i asked for a opinion... She also had nothing to contribute when i asked her if pancakes, french toast, or waffles were best. BTW... a "shrimp omelet" is shrimp in an egg omelet. Nothing else. Not even cheese. read more

It is good eating but sometimes a little to be desired on wait staff. They need some smaller tables for 2 or less.

Place was ok it looks like a old timer dinner place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. the food was plain at best. I don't expect caviar and champagne in this place, but you can feel and taste the cheaper ingredients they are using. I definitely not coming back!!!! read more

I stopped by here and grabbed breakfast one morning. I order the two egg special, which came with toast and hash browns. The eggs were cooked just right and the toast was buttered and good, but nothing special. The hash browns that came with the order however were cold and inedible. Service was good. Overall this place was average. read more

We stopped by here on a recent Road-Trip, spanning east Texas to SW Louisiana. What a nice family place to eat. It was a Saturday and there were lots of whole families eating breakfast so it was crowded. That said, we were seated quickly and had a fine old fashioned breakfast with bacon, sausage, eggs and grits. The waitress was especially friendly and attentive, not surprising for a small town eating place. The food was good and priced right, we'll be back one day. read more

The new building is too loud they need something hung on the walls or something to break the noise

OMG this I place is amazing I got the pancakes and my wife got the French toast, we got more for the road once we ate or portions. We will be back asap! read more
