So, hear me out: their buffalo chicken with biscuit is to die for. I'll be coming back just because of this particular dish. The hash brown was very tasty too. Place is very cute and the outdoor is relaxing. Very chill, quite beautiful town. Their tenderloin sandwich is good. But the winner here is the buffalo chicken. Service was friendly and checked on us regularly. read more

Fun place! Our waitress was fantastic! Very accommodating. We arrived soon after opening on a Sunday morning. 11 of us with no reservation. She took care of us. Food was inventive and good. Mass quantities. Would definitely go again. read more

Over rated! Breakfast was average at best. Waited over 30 minutes for food after ordering. Way over priced. Biscuits are so dry could barely eat them. Grits were best part of our breakfast. Ordered a desert that we never got. Will not be back. read more

I stopped here on business trip. I am always looking for the best breakfast and this hit the spot. Very unique food and absolutely delicious. Staff was friendly and order came quick. If I am ever in Burlington again you bet I'll be back. read more

FANTASTIC! The crab and cheese omelet was yummy, as was the mimosa. Quick and friendly service even when it was busy. Sat outside on a beautiful day watching the shoppers go by. We will go back! read more

Great food. I've only been there one time, but I would go back in a heartbeat. Service was good, coffee was good. What more could you ask for? read more

Our food took an hour and a half to get to us, sever only came to the table twice, and different server had to ask us if we wanted a refill.

Probably the coolest spot in Burlington. They have live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The menu is huge and there's a lot that can be veganized. The waitress was vegan as well so she she was very helpful. Great service and experience all around read more

We had never eaten here before and decided to try out them out. It was AMAZING!!! The food was absolutely amazing! I am a bit picky about the food I eat at any restaurant but I will have to say everything was perfect. I even gave the cook a tip and I have only done that once before ! read more

4. That's right 4 jalapeño poppers. 4. For your nine dollar order you will get 4 sad poppers and last nights ranch. Remember you only get 4. Choose wisely who will get to eat them. You may only get one of them if the rest of your huge party also like them. If you would like them as an appetizer I would suggest getting at least 5 orders which is only 50 bucks. Pretty good deal if you are wanting to impress the ladies. read more

Been to Burlington on trips about 10 times and where to find quality food is always a concern. Unfortunately, Burlington is a bit of a food desert. We usually only eat a 2 places there where we know we can get a good meal. But I am thrilled to say I've added a 3rd place to our list! Wake n Bake served up one of the most delicious cheeseburgers I've ever had and as a pilot I've tried my fair share. We ate dinner at a pretty expensive restaurant there in Burlington but honestly, the burger at Wake n Bake was way better! It will be the first thing I get when I go back! read more

We come here whenever we're visiting family. In the past it's been a great restaurant for breakfast or lunch. This time not so much. How could you undercook hash browns? Eggs over easy well done? Ridiculous! The wait staff is on point and polite. Sadly, It's a place we won't go back to again. read more

Cool atmosphere , awesome service. Food is a bit odd for me. Some really enjoy this style, it wasn't for me. That being said, I give it a 3 out of 5 based solely on the awesome staff. The food, some love it and rave about it. To me, I personally find it mediocre. I've tried it only 3 times and would go again but not my first choice. read more

Food was very good and worth the wait. Waited a while for the food to come but it was Mother's Day. Service was very good. Definitely a good place for breakfast. You can done inside or out. Stop if your in the area read more

Good and service was excellent. We were from out of town and enjoyed the atmosphere and food.

I went to Wake n Bake after a lovely Sunday mass, and it was wonderful. I ordered the higher standard and it definitely raised my standards for a brunch place. Service was immaculate. They are kind, open minded, and on top of everything you ask for. Amanda was my server and she was by far a huge help. I definitely recommend! read more

This was my first time coming here and I had a great experience. The food was awesome and the prices are even more awesome! The waitress was nice as well. read more

I would have to say that the Wake n Bake is the hottest place in Burlington. I cannot believe they turned a garage into a bar/ restaurant! It's modern, its home style, it's the perfect place to have a good time with some good food. I'll have to keep coming back to try the rest of the breakfast menu and the dinner menu. You can't just stop at just one of their fresh potato donuts! And their Sidecar coffee really hits the spot. Follow on Facebook to stay up to date with their daily events! read more

Delicious food and excellent customer service! Atmosphere is excellent as well! First time visiting- I'll be back!

Cool looking place, sweet servers, I saw a bit of food touching without gloves on which unsettled me a bit, and we went in as soon as they opened and they were out of two things I asked for so that was disappointing. What I got was really good though! read more

Delicious chicken and waffles and a great burger too. Love this place, glad we found it. Be back soon.

I found this place with Google when visiting from out of town for my son's wedding. Thank goodness for Google! Our server Britney was amazing to our party of 8 and we were all very happy with our food! Seriously incredible omelets! The owner was so nice also! We will be back on return visits, that's a promise! read more

I really wish I could have a good experience at Wake n Bake. I think the restaurant is super cool looking. But, I have been here three times and every time myself and who I was with were forgotten about. Twice while seated outside, once seated inside. Each time my drinks were given to my for free. Which was more than okay. Just becomes frustrating to be at a restaurant for over two hours while they aren't slammed and become forgotten about. The food is just okay. I haven't had anything that has blown my mind, though. The drinks are pretty good, though. read more

Upon initial impression I found the restaurant/bar to be a fun place. The menus have descriptions as the naming is out there in left field. The decor around the restaurant is a fun, funky, modern, psychedelic theme. There are some unwanted political emphasis surrounding some of the decorum, but nowadays exceptions have to be allowed. The grill team is visible through a large server hole in the wall ( the grill team does stare FYI) . Overall if you want something new and your tired of the traditional Midwest theme you should try this place. read more

Delicious chicken and waffles. We were in Burlington for the weekend. Really great biscuits and gravy. Wonderful welcoming staff!

It is Father's Day, there are soccer and baseball tournaments in town, and the place is packed. We almost didn't stop. I am so glad we did. The wait was understandably lengthy but the staff was exceptionally kind and accommodating. We will 100% make this a stop when we return next year! read more

First time - outstanding breakfast and great service! I had a tasty biscuit breakfast sandwich and hubby had a delicious breakfast burrito. Generous portions. We will be back. read more

Had to wait an hour and a half for my food. An hour and a half at 10am on a Saturday at a place that only serves Breakfast. How is it even possible to be that far behind? Was told it would be 40 minutes as I was ordering food and then it turned into much longer than that. I've been thinking about why it took so long for three days now and I still for the life of me can't figure it out. They serve eggs, omelettes and waffles. Nothing that takes that long to cook. What made the situation even worse was looking around the restaurant at everyone also waiting and being ignored by the wait staff. A small "I'm Sorry" would have gone a long way toward making the situation better. I also noticed that two tables that were seated after me got their food before I did, which was also disappointing. Then when my food arrived, it wasn't even hot as it seemed to sit in the window waiting for a server for a few minutes. It was lukewarm at best. It might have made up for the situation a tad bit if my food had been piping hot; but alas, no. Warm or actually, tepid. Also troubling was the fact that I saw one of the owners in the restaurant the entire time and she never once went to any one of the tables of the people waiting so long for their food to at the very least apologize. She definitely never came to mine. She seemed to be concentrating on only talking to people that she knew personally. I guess since I don't know her, I don't count. Disappointing. I really want to like and support local businesses like Wake N Bake but after paying $40 (with tip) for a breakfast that was mediocre and took way too long to get to me, I just don't see myself going back. I even took the time to write the restaurant personally and I still haven't heard back from them which indicates to me that they may not really care. I guess I'll have to find another breakfast place in town that wants business and takes steps to keep people coming in the door. Wake N Bake just doesn't seem like that type of place to me. read more

Really want to give five stars because Burlington needs more creativity and independent places like this to bring it back. Food was awesome. Homemade donuts were great. Coffee was mediocre. The service was overwhelmed and food was slow to come. Our colleagues at the next table over had to wait 30+ and eventually got their food to go. They HAVE to get this figured out or it will kill them. With such yummy food and a great idea they have to make the speed and staffing keep up. Some good strong yummy coffee would be a plus too. A great addition for Burlington. read more

Great breakfast. Excellent Bloody Mary and very clean. If it was closer it would be our go to for me and the wife.

Good food, great ambience, great service... and donuts! Look at the smiles on the faces of the staff. read more

Delicious food and have a long list of donuts to try! The server we had could have been more attentive however you could tell the employees were busy. People after people were coming in the door. Fun atmosphere can be kid and family friendly but also a nice hangout. They have bands that come in and different events they host on designated dates. read more

The service was terrible, if I'd been drinking at the bar probably would've gotten better service.

Really enjoyed this edition the the Burlington Dowtown area. On the corner in a renovated auto repair shop, this place is unique and fun. The menu is one page front and back with great selection inspired from all over the country. I had the Elvis waffle and biscuits and gravy. Fun combination and just good comfort food. I could've had a little more seasoning in the gravy but everything tasted good. The service at the bar was great as well. My coffee cup never went dry. read more

My son and I ate here last Saturday am. Good points for decor, ambiance, service. I ordered an omelet with mushrooms and Swiss from the decent menu. The biscuit was excellent, the omelet..no. It was made with canned rubbery mushrooms. I expected real mushrooms for the price. Disappointed; I should have told the server, my bad. I'll try again. read more

It takes pretty good. I liked my omelet with mushrooms, but we sat outside and I think they forgot about us. It took and hour to get food. The nice pet is I could go shop around while I waited. read more

This was an amazing experience. I think my life will be defined as two separate categories: Before going to Wake n Bake and AFTER going to wake n Bake. It truly sums up the divine thrill of the human experience. Decadence personified. read more

Excellent breakfast. Friendly service. Food was full of flavor. Husband ate entire serving of chicken and waffles. I got a healthier option of breakfast burrito. Really really cute little place. read more

Wake n Bake Breakfast Company - Great experience. Quaint little tire shop turned breakfast/brunch eatery. Super friendly, yummy and fun. Worth the lltrip! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Burlington, Iowa

I decided to go in after a year from not ordering food from this establishment. I must say that the service has gotten much better!! The food was out within 15 minutes, not an hour plus like it was the year before. This time around I ordered a breakfast burrito, and it was delicious. It didn't come with a side dish though, and as big as it is I was still hungry for more food. Coffee is still on point. read more
