My mom and I stopped here and were thoroughly pleased with the atmosphere ( it has a very Scandi vibe), staff/service, and the food. My mom requires sugar free and they offer options she was able to eat, which was awesome. I ordered a Mess Haul and it was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable.We will definitely return and would highly recommend them! read more

Since we didn't eat anything in the morning, we opted to get a late breakfast/brunch at the Waffle Stop in north Tacoma since we weren't too far from the area. There were three of us dining in together today and we decided to order the Garlic Parmesan Fries to share! These were absolutely delicious and served on such a large platter. Perfect item to share. I ordered the Cookie Butter Chai Latte and Split Decision Sampler (pearl sugar and southern waffle, two eggs and choice of bacon or pork sausage). My boyfriend ordered the Bergamot London Fog. I didn't take a picture of the food he ordered, but it was one of the specialty eggs entrees. I was a little underwhelmed by my entree choice, however it was still good. I didn't want to be too stuffed, so it was a good choice overall. The service was great. Super friendly and energetic staff working, which made it a great experience. We were quite fortunate to arrive at a time where it wasn't too busy where we had a long wait to be seated! read more

Service- fanflippintastic! We didn't have a wait time and got seated right away. The waffles!!! The pearl sugar is a solid choice if you've never had. I have had them before and was concerned to have toppings on top cause of the sweetness but the lemon blueberry was magical. Too bad I didn't take a pic but it's scrumptious. Oj and coffee were good. Fun restaurant and would go again with no hesitation. read more

From the service to the food! This place was amazing! I got just the classic waffles and egg breakfast. I'm generally not someone who does all the fancy, but even these were to die for! Our neighboring table had the Dubai waffles and he was gushing over the taste! Bacon was cooked perfectly.. I even watched one of the waiters notice that the whip cream melted a little and without asking he brought her a whole new plate of whip cream! Super sweet! Thank you for making my 45 min drive with it! I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was great - I got the combo plate which includes a meat, eggs how you want, hash browns, and a waffle (upgraded to a fancy waffle). The very berry medley waffle was amazing! Great flavor, not too coated to berry/berry sauce so it was not mushy. Apple sausage patty's tasted homemade and were great. My original coffee, a dirty chai, was... not good. Had to sub for a drip coffee. Service was terrible, had to ask for everything including condiments, water and even silverware as we sat there trying to flag someone down to be able to eat our food. Restaurant was not full and yet the waitress wouldn't even look at us, give us time to ask for anything, and was taking selfies behind the counter. My husband got the southern waffle, super dry regular waffle, confused why it was "southern". read more

Waffle Stop - VERRY BERRY MEDLEY - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Looking in an older part of Tacoma for breakfast and i found this place. Totally worth my time. Starting off parking was easy and it was FREE. Walking into the establishment it was well lit and the decor was simple but efficient. I was seated promptly and the menu and a glass of water so their after. It was a two sided menu, with a good variety for breakfast and lunch items too. I ordered breakfast. The service was consistent as my server did check on me and asked if I had any questions about the menu. I asked one and they were very polite explaining it. After my order showed up, I proceeded to eat it all. The combination of the eggs, tomatoes, bacon and cheese was equally satisfying and balanced. It was topped with Avocado slices ( slightly brown, but still good). The sourdough toast appeared to be from a freshly made loaf ( served with soft butter and raspberry jam) and the hash browns were cooked lightly. Overall this place will do well in this part of town. Yes, I would return again. Good service, good selection and great prices too!! read more

PERFECTLY MADE WAFFLES!!! Service was very busy going on a Sunday afternoon. We had to wait a few minutes for a table but once we were seated, we weren't forgotten. They checked in a good amount of times. The atmosphere doesn't give off old diner vibes but one that's bright, clean and cheerful. ALSO so thankful they were able to accommodate my son's allergies! They cooked his meal on a separate pan to avoid cross contamination. 10/10! read more

I have visited Waffle Stop a few times and I swear I thought I left a review but better now then never right? I can say without a doubt that Waffle Stop is a fantastic breakfast spot in Tacoma with a cozy and fun ambiance with the cutest cups and fun decor. That's why finding parking from their opening to closing hours can be pretty difficult as they are just that popular! They also have some of the best service in the city with everyone being professional and have such warm service. My boyfriend and I are suckers for their garlic parmesan waffle fries as well their herbed ranch, we get it literally every time we dine in. The waffles here are all good no matter which kind you get and there are so many different kinds. Their coffee and lemonades are great too, and they always have latte art on your coffee drinks which I love! I've only have had two minor complaints. One was finding an eggshell in my waffle when I brought home leftovers and I couldn't really do anything about that since I was at home. My other issue is that when you order online you get charged a bag fee even if you are ordering a drink and it took some time to get my drink. They were busy though so I wasn't upset as I get how hectic it is for everyone in the restaurant. I didn't receive a bag for my order so I just feel they should fix that in the system or offer the bag since I paid for it. Other than that, they are worth checking out! They also have a great rewards program and you can buy their amazing ranch to bring home or buy their cups! read more

Not my favorite breakfast spot in Tacoma, but pretty good. There's usually a wait to get in and it's very busy. The food is a bit pricey for what it is, but you really can't go wrong on quality. I've ordered takeout a lot, and it's consistently good. read more

OMG this was the most fun experience since I rode the Skydiver at the Carnival. Food was delicious. Saw a Kevin Spacey doppelgänger (Usual Suspects KS) and then there was Cole.

I used to go to waffle stop once a week but was recently diagnosed with celiac and haven't been in a while. I went in today and asked if I could do a gluten free waffle but order it with their summer special toppings (peaches) instead of miso and banana as I'm allergic, and was told no I said okay I'll just get the bacon avocado scramble then to which she asked me what kind of bread I'd like. I dead pan blinked and said, no bread... I'm gluten free I'm not sure if the staff is highly untrained in gluten allergies or what but I'm not sure why I couldn't sub a waffle topping and doubly unsure how you can be wait staff and not understand someone's allergies. Super bummed as I won't be going back now! Posting this for celiacs and gluten allergy peeps! read more

Came here for brunch and this spot did not disappoint! I tried their waffle parm fries which was LOADED. I tried their strawberry banana Nutella waffle. It was so gooood. The texture of the waffle was crunch on the outside and just right in the inside. I will def be back here for more! read more

Food was great. Service could be better. I understand it gets busy though so that's okay. Definitely a loud restaurant!

I wanted to love this breakfast spot. It was my first time here. I got the strawberry Nutella waffles. My waffle was super dry and hard to eat, but my coworkers got the regular waffles and they were better. My iced coffee was just ok nothing amazing. read more

This is a great breakfast spot. They have a lot of different waffle options to chose from. I got the monte cristo which was very good. It is made with the pearl waffle which is excellent. It could you a little more meat given how thick the waffle is but it taste wonderful. Our server was very friendly she helped me decided between two food options and two drink options. And I was very happy with both. The restaurant has lots of seating. read more

Food was delicious however I am only giving it 4 stars due to the fact that three of us ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken & Waffle and not a single one was spicy. They also stated that unless we wanted to wait 25 minutes 2 out of 3 of us would need to get the regular waffle (which tastes perfectly fine so it didn't impact my score). Either way, make reservations ahead of time if coming for brunch as it gets pretty busy. read more

Was honestly super good we got the strawberry cheesecake waffle, the mess hall, a mimosas flight and an espresso martini as well as a raspberry white chocolate coffee, it was all delicious the mess hall was definitely super savory and delicious. The cheesecake waffle was a super pleasant surprise with a scoop of cheesecake on top. Our waitress was very polite and attentive when we needed it. I would definitely come again. read more

The chicken on the Nashville hot chicken and waffles were out of this world good- the breading stayed on and the chicken was perfectly thin and moist. I'm mad that we didn't come sooner on our trip. The waffle was a little tough/over done BUT if you want a bangin waffle, get the buckwheat protein waffle - absolutely delicious and you are doing a good thing for your body! I don't know if they add anything to their OJ but it was nicely sweet so it paired well with the chicken. Also they do have regular or sugar free syrup as I'm not the biggest fan of hot honey. read more

One of our go to spots! Food is always good, won't find a bad thing on the menu. This time we tried their chocolate pistachio waffle and it was good, very rich though. My usual go to is their chicken and waffles, with their habanero salsa is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Service here is always great, staff is super friendly and patient, especially with how busy this place gets in the weekends. Expect a decent wait time but it is definitely worth it read more

Wafflestop is exactly that. A place to stop for waffles. I got the bacon avocado omelette which looked tiny on an almost empty plate because I opted out of toast and hash browns. Mom got the South of the Border which was a huge plate with all the fixings. I've been here before so I can vouch for the waffles, but couldn't try them this time. Too bad I've changed my ways because otherwise I'd smash that cookie butter chai latte. If you're keto or going low carb like me, skip the hash browns and potato and they'll throw in a strip of bacon. It looks pathetic compared to what you get if you take the hash brown and toast, but it's something? They need more low carb side options. I like how they go the opposite of diners like Dennys, who give you a small cup and it takes you awhile to get a refill, by giving you a big mug of coffee that you probably won't need refills. I didn't at least Weekdays are nice because I'm here at the crunching hour and it's busy, but there are plenty of tables. Forgot about it on weekends. read more

We love this place. Everything we have ordered has always been great, the staff are usually friendly, and overall the atmosphere is what you would expect from a breakfast place. We really enjoy the varieties of waffles and accompaniments. Their coffee is good, and they offer some great espresso options. As some other reviewers mention, there is often a long wait, but it's worth it! read more

Ordered the french press, which had hair in it upon being poured. We were then given dirty coffee cups. We were still charged the full amount and after getting new cups the coffee was wasted and not replaced. We had to ask for water, which also came in dirty glasses, and we had to ask for silverware after our food came. Bad service and pretty unhygienic place. Won't be returning read more

This is the second time I've come here and been served okay food. The first time it was just bland. This time it was burned. I ordered the French toast combo waffle and I'm going to assume it needed to be a little more done than other waffles. I "upgraded" my bacon to maple glazed bacon and it came to me burnt. Not sure how they thought it was acceptable to serve over done food. I ordered the eggs over medium and they were UNDERdone to the point the whites were barely cooked. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Waffle Stop - Burnt bacon. I flipped over the waffle to show how overdone it is. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Service was excellent! Our server was very attentive and on it. But unfortunately that's all. Stake ranchero was ok, if not Chimichuri the dish would have been plain, stake was overcooked and rubbery. Berry waffle was ok, more on a hard side, only one waffle came so imo pretty small to be on its own. I would give it another try but maybe order combination plate instead read more

Pros: nice selection of sweet and savory food for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, good waffle and I love the maple glazed bacon, the restaurant is located in a cute neighborhood Cons: very sugary, not the most healthy food you can choose to fuel your body. Waiting staff is inconsistent. Some are helpful and nice, but a some are the opposite. read more

Fun little place right in the heart of the Procter district. We went during the week about 10:30 so were seated immediately although there were a good number of people eating. Our server was there promptly to take our drink order as well as our food order. Think she was the only one there but she was pretty efficient. Both of us got the wake and waffle which came with our choice of waffle, we got the buttermilk, hash browns, 2 eggs any style and hash browns. I didn't need the hash browns and they were a bit over cooked, but the eggs were well cooked, the bacon crispy and the waffle very tasty. The food came out quickly and no one minded that we sat and visited after paying our bill. Certainly worth the trip, especially given the prices are very affordable. read more

While visiting Tacoma, we decided to give the Waffle Stop a try and glad we did. My wife and I ordered the Mess Haul and Luscious Lemon Blueberry. The Mess Haul is definitely a shareable plate and was my favorite out of the two plates we ordered. This plate was like biscuits and gravy minus the biscuits because they use waffles. The gravy was tasty and had a great amount of bacon. The Luscious Lemon Blueberry was very sweet and the berries were delicious. The pearl waffle was a little dense, but not bad. The waitress was very kind and attentive. This restaurant had a fun vibe and would definitely recommend you try it. read more

I went with a friend and her son and it was a very busy spot especially on a Saturday with the farmers market going on nearby! One thing that I would say was a negative was that we were told 15-30 mins but we waited about 50 minutes and that there were 3 parties in front of us even though on my friends phone it said there were "0 minutes" left. The host mentioned the system isn't the best. It was fine as we killed time looking at the stores around. We got the text that it's "waffle time" which was pretty funny. Our server was attentive and the food came out pretty quickly. It was worth the wait! I got the Wake n waffle with the pearl sugar waffle and the menu was right I didn't need syrup for it because the sweetness was perfect, however I am more a savory person. I would definitely come again! read more

What a great place for waffles! (No pancakes, don't ask!) First off, the place is immaculate. The kitchen is open to the dining area, and the metro tile is pristine! What about the food? There's a wide variety of the waffle family to choose from, and they are very different. The Buttermilk Waffle may be the most familiar, but the Southern Waffle is a safe choice, and there's nothing wrong with any of the more "adventurous" choices at all! Plus, the sides - eggs, bacon - are also fabulous. So is the vibe. read more

Service was great. We got seated quickly and the hostess was very accommodating to allow our party of 9 that was originally split up to switch to one larger table. Our waitress was prompt and very nice. Place was clean and presentable. All utensils were wrapped up with our napkins. The waitress took our order quickly and was efficient. We ordered the RANCHERO STEAK AND EGGS | CALIFORNIA SCRAMBLE | Sharable CHICKEN WAFFLE FRIES | NUTELLA STRAWBERRY BANANA | NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN & WAFFLE | THE MESS HAUL | KIDS' CHICKEN TENDERS. Everything was good. The waffle fries had a nice balance of crisp on the outside and still soft in the inside. Chicken was nicely prepared. The only complaint I have was I wished my steak came medium rare but the server did communicate they only make it medium well. The chimichurri was not tangy enough and a bit rougher than I make it at home so it didn't elevate the steak as I had hoped to escape the dryness. Overall a decent place to enjoy read more

I wanna give a good review for everyone that was working at the restaurant the cooks the servers waitress and then the coffee shop next-door. Also, they have really good customer service.

Been craving for waffles this past weekend so decided to try this place out. One thing I noticed is that this place gets very busy, so do yourself a favor and place yourself on the waitlist via Google before heading there. By the time we made it to the restaurant, we only had to wait 15 minutes. Once we were seated, we sorta knew what to order after reading some reviews on Yelp. I wanted to try the blueberry honey lemonade so I ordered that. I thought the drink was okay. Couldn't taste any blueberries unfortunately. For the entrees, I decided to get the Nashville hot chicken and waffles while my partner got the wake n waffle with a waffle upgraded to strawberry cheesecake. Both orders were good but the fried chicken was my favorite. They give you two slabs of fried chicken breast coated with spicy breading. Topped that with hot honey syrup. The chicken was very moist and goes so well with the waffle. One thing I wish I got more were the waffles. It sadly only came with one small waffle. The ratio of chicken to waffle does not add up... I tried the strawberry cheesecake waffles and it was so rich and delicious. That one was great for desserts! Overall, the vibe was very bright and lively filled with some cute waffle decors. I will definitely come back again whenever I'm around the area. read more

Lazy rainy Saturday morning, decided to check out somewhere new. Stopped by the Waffle Stop and did not expect the amazing service and food I received. It Friendly staff full of smiles and willing to actually work unlike many other establishments. Food was delicious and with every food I saw the staff delivering made my mouth water. Regretfully, I didn't order waffles (I do enjoy some good ole waffles) and ordered the Bacon Avocado Scramble. Was not disappointed and left wanting more. Maybe I should have ordered a side waffle! read more

Waffle Stop - BACON AVO SCRAMBLE - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We stopped by on a Saturday and it was pretty busy but we were able to get sat right away which was nice. The decorations and ambiance were cute and waffle themed, but a lot of the seating there was half chair half booths which I don't prefer. We ordered the French press to start, which I had never had but was pretty good, but I would recommend asking for extra cream or for some flavored syrup just because it was a little bland. I ordered the Bacon Overboard and my boyfriend ordered the Wake N Waffle with a buttermilk waffle. I was worried that the bacon and waffle combo wouldn't be great together but with the bacon syrup it was amazing. I love bacon so it was one of the best waffles I've ever had. The only reason I took off a star was because the service was a little strange, and there was only one men's and one women's room and there was someone in the women's room the whole time I was dining so it was really inconvenient. Despite that, we are really looking forward to going back to try some of the other menu items. read more
