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.

Had to visit before a Jonas Brothers concert... if you know you know... and we absolutely love their waffles! So fluffy and light! My friend ordered the Chicken & Waffle. Chicken was so crispy and paired well with the waffle. Appreciated that it was a thick piece of chicken. I ordered the Wake N Waffle, which the hash browns had a crispy outside and a soft inside. Didnt like the chicken apple sausage as much, was a bit dry and over-burnt. The "choose one of our classic waffles" got me fooled because when they asked which waffles I wanted with it, I thought it meant any. It said below it "upgrade to a sweet sensation waffle for only $4" so when you look at the menu, read which ones are The Classics and the Sweet Sensations. For drinks, I ordered the Brown Sugar Cardamom Latte. Subtly sweet and smooth creamy coffee is the best way to describe it. Overall, will come back again. There were a ton of people here when we arrived at 1 pm on a Friday, but there were a couple seats available for us on the spot and we only waited less than a minute to get a seat. Service was patient, sweet, and quick as we got our food in about 15 minutes and they assisted us every 5 minutes when we were still undecisive about what we wanted. read more
Our 1st visit to Waffle Stop. We ordered the Ranchero steak & eggs & the Wee Waffle which comes with 1 egg, and choice of meat. I chose chicken apple sausage patty. Both orders we asked for basted eggs. Not sure if they know how to baste eggs, because the bottom side was really really fried and my sausage patty looked like someone took a bite out of it. I mentioned it to the server, and he just kind of chuckled and brushed it off. My waffle choice was the pearl sugar waffle. It was really dry, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to be because I've never had that type before, the flavor was good. Steak was too chewy for me, but husband said it was ok, but would not order it again. Restaurant was clean and inviting, staff was nice. Had to ask for a coffee to refilled. We are going to return and order something different. Lots to choose from. I'm hoping to give more stars next time. read more

Stop here for all waffles. Finally made it in and was sorry I took so long. The Food, The Service, The Atmosphere here are incredible. We came in and were greeted immediately and seated. The place was jumping so we wondered if the service would be slow, but it wasn't. The wait staff took our drink order and returned quickly for our orders. Waffles of course, we each chose our sides and trust me. The Wee waffle really isn't Wee. The Chicken apple sausage and scrambled egg was perfectly cooked and the big Belgium Waffle was perfection. Served with real butter (not whipped or fake) and maple syrup this meal will fill you up. Childs play you say? Try the Wake n Waffle, 2 eggs, hash browns and bacon and a waffle. That actually filled my SO up. Plus he says the hash browns were perfectly crispy with tender insides. I snatched a bite of bacon and it was crispy and tasty. Definitely will return and you should head in. Service: Outstanding Cleanliness: Outstanding Restrooms: Non gender neutral but oh so clean! read more

Perfect brunch spot! They have fresh squeezed orange juice which make for amazinggg mimosas! It's also fantastic on its own. It's a waffle lovers heaven!! I loved my classic buttermilk waffle but the other flavors looked equally amazing. The staff was great. There can be quite a wait so be sure to check on that before going. read more

Thanks Kayla for visiting. To shorten wait times we offer a waitlist…
I think this place is pretty rad! It definitely gets busy, but if you're there solo or with one other person, you can sit at the bar (so long as there are seats available). I went by myself, so I sat at the bar. I had ordered a cardamom latte and the turkey bacado sandwich. The server misunderstood what I was looking for and gave me the brown sugar cardamom latte. As I expected, it was a little too sweet for my liking. The sandwich was delicious, though I would've appreciated it if the waffle were a bit more toasted. Good food, good vibes, and great location. read more

Went to check out Waffle Stop on the recommendation from my daughter, she and her hubby live this place! We are not locals, but they are, so we headed out to grab some breakfast on Sunday morning. We found parking on a side street and was happy to see that we could immediately get a table. They have a good-sized menu with a lot of choices. Being the name is Waffle Stop, I had to get some kind of waffle, so I got the hot chicken and waffle. The other items ordered are pictured. The portions here are pretty generous, most notable, and the oatmeal with fruits is huge! The chicken and waffle looked good, but the presentation was kind of plain. It was only topped with powdered sugar but came with 2 freshly fried chicken beats, which was very tasty! The hot honey was not spicy at all, almost no spice what so ever. The waffle itself was ok. It was a bit firm, almost like a cookie. I'm pretty sure that this is just their version of waffle that i never had before. Oh, they have very good coffee's, the French press was excellent, as was the one with brown sugar and cardamom. read more

Waffle Stop is THE PLACE for all things breakfast. These cooks really excel in excellence - unwavering quality time and time again. It's always exceptional when quality remains consistent no matter how many times you go. As the name suggests... waffles... you really should order their waffles. I'm not a waffle person, but my goodness I love them here. So soft and favorable! They really have mastered the perfect batter! My usual order is the wake n waffle combo with the bacon cookie butter waffle paired with a brown sugar cardamom latte. I know this may sound overly sweet (most places add way too much sugar) but this order is well balanced -- not too sweet. That is really key to enjoying every bite. Their bacon never has fat and cooked to perfection... their sausage is delicious as well... they give you warmed maple syrup... fresh squeezed orange juice is always a special treat too... Fact is they really pay attention to the little details that really elevate the breakfast experience. From their inviting cozy dining with beautiful interior designed branding, to great customer service, best chefs and a very affordable price point.... What more could you ask for?! read more

Cute little breakfast place on Proctor in Tacoma. They make their food right after you order so you know it's hot and fresh! I ordered the chicken and waffles which came with cinnamon whipped butter and maple syrup. I thought it was going to to be their classic waffle but it's the small grid waffle. I thought the batter was good but a little too hard/ crunchy. Chicken had a lot crunch too but not much seasoning. I kind of got sick of it lol. I'd come back and try their other dishes though! read more

My 22 yo and I fell in love hard with this place. If we lived locally it would be a regular spot for us. We showed up around 11 on a busy Saturday morning. Thankfully with it just being the two of us we were seated at the counter immediately. The wait time didn't seem to be long for others. Order fresh squeezed orange juice (so good!), freshly brewed ice tea and two different waffles, both excellent. It's such a comfortable, positive environment with friendly staff. read more

Um, holy yum Batman! I was so excited to try the food that was presented to me that I forgot to take a picture! Haha! I had the Luscious Lemon Blueberry Waffle, Pumpkin-spiced Latte, and a side of bacon. So so good! Not to mention, my server was on point... I never had to wait one single time. My food came out in about 3 minutes, which was amazing! I sat at the bar near the kitchen and it was really cool because not only was the food out of this world, but it was very clear that everyone who works here really loves being here. The kitchen was alive with smiles and encouraging words, the wait staff was supporting each other and all around lots of laughter and happiness. It made my dining experience that much better! Next time I'm in Tacoma, I'm definitely coming back! Nice job, Waffle Stop! read more

Thanks for Stopping in this morning. We do love breakfast and it’s…
Perfect. Absolutely everything. Just Perfect! They were busy busy busy when we got there, but these folks have it DOWN, so we were seated right away, and everything was SO "well oiled machine" from there! But, on to the food... Miki had the Verry Berrry waffle and I had the California Scramble (without whip). Her berries were fresh and tasty, the liege waffle perfect, she loved it! My scramble though was ... a work of high art. Not only were the eggs just absolutely perfect (WHO even bothers to do eggs right in a scramble these days?!) fluffy wuffy just medium, not overcooked or dry at all and... OH MY GAWD ... where can I buy this Beecher's Premium cheddar? WOW! Sorry, Tillamook, you are a distant runner up to this one! Lots of fresh avocado, nice chunks of chicken... just what I needed. I could not finish, though I tried so hard I thought I might burst... my mouth was still hungry but my stomach just would not have it. I love the fact that this is staffed mainly by college students, but also that they appear to be happy, well trained and working together so well, because, as someone who worked their way though college at fast food joints, I can speak to the lifelong value of not only the lessons learned there, but that the friendships made are some of the most treasured over a lifetime. It makes me feel so good about the place and I look forward to coming back! read more

After reading some reviews, we tracked on their website the waitlist to make sure we didn't have a long wait. We checked in on the waitlist when we were about 10 minutes from the shop as there were two parties already booked on there and said the wait was 15 minutes. We arrived and waited about 5 minutes for them to clear tables. I highly recommend checking in on the waitlist for weekends as when we got there, there were about 5 tables waiting for walk-in. Cute little shop bustling with families and lively conversations. It is a bit loud as it is an open space so take that in mind. We ordered a latte and Bloody Mary to start. Latte was decent and strong. Bloody Mary wasn't so great per hubs, the mixer was sub par per him. #1 son ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich with the waffle fries 9/10, he said the waffle didn't really stand up to all the yumminess they added to it, if it was crisper and sturdy it would have been been 10/10. Taste though was 10/10 and the comeback sauce and ranch were spot on. Hubs had the Ranchero steak and eggs...he enjoyed it, hash browns nice and golden, amazing chimichurri sauce, the fail was dubbing the steak "carne asada" Carne is nice and thin and this was more like steak, thicker cut. It was still delicious it , just call it Steak and eggs as it is not authentic Carne Asada. Flavor was 10/10 though. I had the wake and waffle 8/10, perfect hash browns, my over easy eggs were a little past easy and the pork sausage patties were significantly smaller than seen in some photos. I had the southern cornmeal waffles with the honey cinnamon butter. TLDR, go here and check it out ,decent breakfast and you can find what you like. Great service and cute ambience. read more

My partner found this place while dashing. We came in today for brunch with our wedding officiant. WHAT A JOY! I love that I was able to put myself on the waitlist from home. The wait was about an hour from home. And maybe 15 minutes once we arrived. They do not mess around. People are in and out! Our sever was Mickey and dear God give that girl a raise! She set the tone from the moment we sat down and it just got better and better. The food explains why people are willing to wait as long as needed. Between all of us we had the California scramble, three types of waffles, garlic fries, and friend chicken and eggs. Perfection. Everything was cooked well and full of flavor. It feels like a diner, kind of loud but not frustrating. Definitely will return. Easy five stars here. read more

The food here was great. I got here pretty early so the place was nice and quiet. The customer service was great from the start. From the server to the runner, it was all great. I got the wake n waffle. I upgraded to a pescan waffle. It wasn't what I expected visually but it was still amazing! The pecans are actually baked in with the batter. I also ordered my waffle with a side of the cinnamon butter and let me tell you, best choice ever. read more

Fryers were down today, so no chicken and waffles. I had the south of the border plate. The carnitas are fantastic. Be sure to ask for the habanero salsa on the side, it's a bit on the sweet side but has a nice subtle kick. The waffle was amazing, thick yet not too heavy. Like eating a flaky cloud. Service was great as always! I love this spot! read more

We ate here early on a weekend morning. The place was mostly empty. Service was good and the place was clean and cheery. The only place I've ever eaten liege waffles is from Waffle Love. They also use pearl sugar and the waffles are amazing. We've even ordered their batter to make at home (pearl sugar and all) which made a great Christmas breakfast treat. When I saw these waffles on the menu here, I was really excited. 4/5 - House Made Pork Sausage: Really good 3/5 - Wake N Waffle: Scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and a waffle. Pretty good. 3/5 - Mocha 2/5 - Wee Waffle: Waffle, egg and sausage. Just okay. The problem was the waffle. 1/5 - Very Berry Medley: Pearl sugar liege waffle, strawberries & blackberries in raspberry coulis and whipped cream. There were no eggs or meat to save this dish. The waffle was hard as a rock. It was like a biscuit...a really hard, dry biscuit. All of our dishes would have been improved without the waffles. That's not good when the restaurant has WAFFLE in it's name. There are so many good reviews. No way people can enjoy the biscuit waffles we received, so maybe they don't normally come out that way. I would never go back to double check. They have regular waffles too... If only we had gone that way. The food was 2.6 stars, but I will leave the rating at 2 because the liege waffles were just so bad. 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.
