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!!
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!
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!
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!
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. He made the visit most memorable. Loved our server Christi too. Traveled all the way from Boston and would do it again.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
We headed for breakfast based on the great reviews and we were very delighted! The meal was super yummy!!! We had bacon avocado scramble and a strawberry cheesecake waffle! It was quick and delicious and the service was kind. Cherise was our server and she rocks! She was prompt and attentive and kind!!! read more

I eat here frequently, with my husband, all my friends, family members. I love that it is a small family owned business and everyone there hustles so hard. The food is phenomenal and everyone is so nice and accommodating. Everything on the menu is wonderful, even the non waffle items at 5 stars. I'd recommend adding yourself to their waitlist as it can get very busy weekend mornings. read more

Service was quick and efficient. Waitress answered questions and made recommendations. Didn't have to wait long since there were only two of us. I had the avo scramble with hashbrowns nd toast. Hubby had the pearl waffle with eggs and bacon. Everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back to try more options! read more
Line/waitlist is forever long. You will be waiting. It is noisy and busy. Not all the servers are super pleasant. But! It's worth it! If you're looking for a dang good waffle for a dang good breakfast, this is it. We had the chicken and waffles, with super crunchy and flavorful fried chicken, and a delicious sugar waffle with Nutella and strawberries. Both were wonderful options and I'll be back whenever I'm in Tacoma. read more

What a great breakfast place! I'd pick waffles over pancakes any day, and this place sure delivered! We ordered the luscious lemon blueberry waffles, the chicken & waffles, and a just a regular buttermilk waffle for our kids. Everything was delicious and filling! The blueberry lemon waffle was a bit sweet, but I guess that's to be expected with lemon curd. Nonetheless very tasty, and I would order it again. We came as a family on a Friday morning and our wait was told to be 20 min but was actually 45, so beware when coming on weekends, you may have to wait a bit due to limited seating. I'm hopeful that it's a little less busy on weekdays and that with Covid restrictions lifting more tables will be available next time. A must visit! read more

Lemon Curd Blueberry Waffle 5/5 Mini Mess Haul 3.5/5 Nutella Strawberry Banana Waffle (buttermilk) 5/5 Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Waffle 4.5/5 Bacon 5/5 Eggs 4/5 Hash browns 5/5 Everything was really tasty and filling. The restaurant was really nice inside and the food wait was not too long. The service was good, but the servers were very busy. Overall a great breakfast/brunch place! read more
Huge portion for the prices and quality ingredients. Nothing is frozen and is made on premises. The maple syrup tastes real and comes warmed in a decanter. Service was fast and friendly. I recommend the pearl sugar waffle (3 types of waffles to choose from). It's sweeter than the others and the yeast gives it a donut flavor. Really good. They make their sausage on-site with ground chicken into patties and also have smoked bacon. Atmosphere is warm, clean and comfortable. Mostly breakfast items, but they also serve sandwiches for lunch. I'll be back!! read more

I'll start by saying that I'm glad the Waffle Stop has survived the surreal nightmare that was 2020 and is still with us. Truly. The few times I've been there for in-house dining, the staff and service was great. I have no beef with the place as a whole. My issue is with one particular menu item; the "Nashville Hot" chicken and waffle. Calling this Nashville Hot is like calling a hotdog and a crawfish Steak and Lobster. It's absurd. The only thing this chicken has in common with Nashville Hot chicken is that they're both chicken. That's it... and I'm being generous with that. I mean it. That's IT. Nashville Hot is a very specific thing. There's no wide interpretation. You don't order Nashville Hot chicken, and expect to get a bowl of chicken carbonara. You don't order a Wagyu steak, and expect a hamburger. You don't book a room at the Copacabana Palace and expect to stay in a Hostel. You don't buy an airline ticket and expect to be seated in a trebuchet. I dunno, maybe you do... I don't. Words mean something. I mean, look; why pretend? If you want to cater to the crowd that would order Nashville Hot in the first place, then GO ALL IN. If you're gonna do it, DO IT. Commit. Make it so killer that people who've had Nashville Hot will judge all other NH by yours. Or DON'T... The people who don't like heat won't order it anyway, so why dumb it down? If you must, then call it something else, because it's NOT Nashville Hot. Call it, I dunno, maybe Tacoma Hot, or Not Really Hot, or maybe just Red Chicken & Waffles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The waffle part of this order was the dukes! Got no complaints there. Amazing, actually. They would be incredible with blueberries and french vanilla ice cream. They'd also be incredible with Nashville Hot chicken. read more

I was hoping I would have to never leave a negative review on a restaurant during these struggling times, however, no matter how busy things are, quality control is a must. I ordered the Grilled Monte Cristo with a sub order of fruit. As you can see in the pictures, not only they got my sub order wrong but also my Monte Cristo was burnt. I am disappointed because I really do enjoy the food here but this is just...really unacceptable. Now, I have a 21.00+ meal gone to waste. read more

Yelp has pretty much taught me how to hand pick places, and boy were they right about this one! We went in on a weekday around 11. The place wasn't full, but people trickled in and out while we were there. The service was on point. We had one of the twins, and he came by the perfect amount. He spotted when something was wrong with our order and we didn't catch it. He kept our drinks refilled and was kind and helpful for newbies not knowing what they were doing. Now. The. Food. It was amazing. I had the very berry waffle and the chicken and waffle fries. I couldn't stop eating. The berry waffle was sweet, crunchy and that perfect about of berry tart. The chicken and waffle fries were covered in cheese, chicken and bacon. It was more than my friend and I could even begin to finish, so those came home and my kid dug into them as soon as he got his hands on the box. The home made ranch is something of my dreams. So. Good. We will be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Stood at the entrance while workers walked around me for a few minutes. They need a host because I understand they're busy. My daughter's waffle was so hard. I got parm/garlic waffles. They were so greasy & bland. Seasoning wouldn't hurt. The picture shows how plain they are. read more
Super fun place as long as you can get around the long wait on weekends. I stopped in with a friend around 9am on a Sunday morning and we walked the neighborhood while waiting to be called via a text from the restaurant. It was approx. 30 min which isn't too bad at all. They have QR code's on each table so that the menu can be accessed digitally, which i love. They have a creative menu and great customer service right out of the gate. I ordered the wake n waffle with the very berry medley waffle. The waffle is obviously unique and tasted really good, the rest of the breakfast: eggs, sausage, and hash browns was decent too. They have an excellent hot sauce if you are like me and put hot sauce on your hash browns. :) I would suggest getting a Waffle to share between two people as they are super sweet and shareable in size. Overall this place is super cute, I will definitely be coming back with the family in the near future. read more

This place was super busy on a Saturday morning at 930/10. We put our name in and walked through the nearby farmers market and they called our number faster than expected. Their COVID preparedness was good. There was a mask on every staff member and the booths were spaced apart. The decor and design was really cute and charming. However, the food was less than stellar. The portions were decent and it came out hot but it was pretty average. I did get a waffle on the side with no whip cause they load towers of cream on them. All in all a cute brunch or breakfast place and I'd go back. :) read more

Everything was delicious! It's hard to find a breakfast spot in WA and this one is it. The waffles are amazing...soft, crunchy, bursting with flavor. I got the split decision and my husband got chicken and waffles with a homemade country gravy that's to die for. The place is small inside, but they pack the place full. It didn't take too long between ordering and getting our food. The service was excellent, too. The only downside about this place is the very long wait. It was 40 min for a table for two. We were there at 10:30, so maybe if we got there earlier there'd be less of a wait. We checked out the farmers market nearby (took all of 5 min). read more

The food was amazing. The portions are big enough for you to be satisfied and not too over stuffed. The steak ranchero was phenomenal everything on the plate had flavor. Def go check it out. The waffles are cooked light, fluffy, and sweet. This is def a breakfast spot to try atleast once. read more
If you love waffles you will love this little spot!! The best waffle I have ever had. The batter was unlike anything I've ever tasted. I don't know what their secret is but I'm here for it. I would recommend arriving early if you don't want to wait. With Covid capacity restrictions, there are less places to be seated in a restaurant that is already fairly small to begin with. The menu had a wide variety! Sweet waffles as well as savory options like chicken and waffles, etc. If you're really hungry, the one waffle may not be enough. Although it was delicious I would recommend getting a side or two to complete your meal. Can't wait to come back and try all of their other delicious flavors! read more

This review highlights Waffle Stop's new dine in experience post quarantine! 1. Hand Sanitizer available at the door 2. Contactless menu option! At each table there is a sticker with a QR code that you may scan on your smartphone's camera and a link will pop up with their menu! Pretty cool. Make sure you can view the breakfast AND lunch menu! I had to download as a PDF to scroll down on their menu. 3. After eating, your server will give your receipt with a QR code to pay online. 4. All the tables are nicely spaced out and is within proper distance. 5. All the employees are wearing masks and gloves 6. There is an employee who is spraying and wiping down all the tables and chairs once people leave. Overall, I'm impressed with Waffle Stop's commitment to keep their staff and customers safe while dining in! Our server was sweet and attentive, and the food was tasty as always :) Update: the last time I came here I was unimpressed with their coffee. This time I got the house vanilla latte and it was much better!! read more
Came here with friends for some brunch on a Sunday and was busy as it would be for the occasion. There was a 15 minute wait which we didn't mind since we went to a couple of shops next door to kill the time. The place itself is nice and clean love the interior. There's a lot of seating but does feel a little tight. The menu was simple and to the point. I ordered the strawberry banana Nutella waffle and it was extremely sweet to my liking. To the point where I had asked for some water. The waffle itself was good but had a crunch to it which turned out to be chunks of sugar within the batter. Overall taste was good, nothing too over the top. Found it to be overrated. Probably will be the first and only time I'll come here unless I'm craving something extremely sweet The service was alright. The person taking our order didn't seem that interested or happy and kinda seemed annoyed when my friend asked them about their tattoo and walked away while explaining it ??? And didn't feel the need to check up on us until they brought the bill. read more

Any vegan options? Red Elm and a few other places make fantastic waffles, but another option would be great!
Toast, with wonderful raspberry jam, delicious hashbrowns. Otherwise there's dairy in the waffles, eggs are eggs. No vegan options for bacon on this planet can compare to real bacon. The Waffle Shop is unlikely to carry tofu cakes or plant-based…
Is there usual a wait for seating?
I've been twice (both on Sunday) depending upon the group size it seems to be 10-20 minute waits
Is there prices? I wanna see some prices before I make that drive.
The price range was $9-$17 from what I saw today. But well worth it. Quality ingredients and taste and portions! We're from Seattle but this is the only place I wanna go for breakfast now even though it's a 30-45 minute drive defending on traffic.
Do you happen to have anything that would work for a vegan for breakfast?
Berry oatmeal with oat or almond milk, toast & raspberry jam, fantastic hashbrowns.
Any updates on a gluten free waffle option?
Nope. They "don't have the freezer space." So their "plans" won't be in effect any time soon it appears.
I see no phone number. Does this mean you don't take reservations? Is there usually a long wait if "no?"
Hello Stacie! I’m sorry our phone number isn’t showing up! Our number is (253) 267-5026. We take reservations for parties of 6 or larger. Usually we do have a wait between 10-30 minutes on the weekend for a party of four. Otherwise, you are safe to…
Any plans to offer gluten free waffles in the near future? :)
Hello Marie! Thank you for asking! Yes, it is something we plan on looking into. It is our most requested item!
Does the Nashville chicken come al carte and in something besides a breast?
According to the servers answer, this is their style of chicken and waffle.
