1 waffle, to go, please
Kyle H.

New age spin on the old school greasy spoon diner. Plenty of people who came in were definitely locals and regulars, which have it that old diner vibe. Nice enough though for us city slickers who might turn a nose at a torn vinyl seat. Their waffle selection was fairly unique and ranged outside the standard regular and blueberry. I got the apple pie waffles which were a real treat. Everyone in my family ate all their food, which is a rarity. And for that alone, 5 stars.

What In The Waffle?  Our Belgian waffle with bacon inside, topped with sausage gravy and two sunny side up eggs.

Service was good. Food is good and the waffle is very good. I tried a dish I had nvr heard of but it was well worth the try.

I wish I lived closer or I would totally come back! They had an extensive menu and the food was good. Just waited a bit long for the food.

This place was great It seems like a little bit of a whole I. The wall but the restraint was warm and comfortable. The food was amazing. I personally had the honey butter waffle and it was delicious l. I also enjoyed their orange juice that seemed freshly squeezed. The iced tea was definitely old or the brewer needs cleaned but other than that, all of our food was great. Our waitress was kind and attentive but seemed stressed. I would definitely go again because the food was wonderful!

Honey butter waffle
Nick S.

Nice little place to grab a great tasting breakfast. Set right away and had excellent service. The waffles and eggs were cooked perfectly. Very reasonably priced.

Chicken and Waffle
Bill C.

The food tasted good. Our server was friendly and personable. The outdoor seating was comfortable. However, the prices were a bit random. Between $8 and $12 for just a waffle seems kind of crazy. Our friend got the Honey Butter waffle. It was as described: a waffle with a portion of butter with honey, and nothing else. On the other hand, I got the chicken wings and waffle and it was as described: waffle, chicken wings. But mine was only a few dollars more. Great price for the wings but terrible price for just the waffle. The waffles were good but they were not amazing. I've had waffles pretty much as good at a hotel "make-your-own" waffle station.

Bacon
Susan P.

It's a chain. But a fine one. Waffles are hot and fresh and come in an infinite number of varieties. I had the honey butter version and it arrived with just the right amount of honey butter and a dusting of powdered sugar. Grab the meat sides, they are a bargain not usually seen in breakfast joints. My 90 year old mom accompanied me on this visit and her Belgian waffle disappeared slathered in syrup, warm at that. Our service was as pristine with quick seating and explanations for each specialty creation.

Chicken and Waffle

Nice place for a diner style breakfast. Service was very friendly and took our orders very quickly. Also love the giant waffle on the ceiling. All the food came out very quick and was very hot. The Chicken N' Waffle was awesome, the waffle was sweet, fluffy on the inside, and a little crisp on the outside, perfect for soaking up maple syrup. The chicken wings were cooked perfectly, juicy and tender on the inside, fell right off the bone, had a crispy breading on the outside, and were savory and salty to balance the waffle and maple syrup.

It has been awhile since eating at a Wally Waffle. Long overdue for sure! We were on a bike ride through town and needed some energy. Everything was perfect and as I remembered. Pancakes were moist and delicious. Went with the sausage and ham for proteins and hit the spot. If you haven't been here before, check it out!

Butter waffles and crispy chicken wings powder sugar.

This place is open until 2pm and it's very good. The staff were really friendly and the place not bad. Everything sounds so good on the menu and I seen some customers food next to us the bacon was perfectly crispy... the grits were delicious too the texture of the grits were perfect. Well done Everyone!

Better Day Waffle & bacon

I was in Akron for a business meeting & always looking for local restaurants to try. Wally waffle did not disappoint. The variety of waffles they offer are most excellent. I got the waffle called better day & let me tell you it started my day just right. It was made with oat bran muffin batter & filled with apples, raisins, pecans, coconut, pineapple, & carrot. Then topped with a whole sliced banana. On top of delicious food the service & staff were top notch. My coffee cup was never empty the entire time I was there, food was out in a timely manner. Definitely will be going back the next time I'm in town.

The famous Wally Waffle
Ryane S.

Wally Waffles has always been one of my hometown favorites. I live out of town now so whenever I've in town I make sure it's in my list of stops to make. They have mastered a busy environment from all the hungry people and consistently provide amazing service. I'm truly never disappointed. The pecan waffle is my go to, this buttermilk waffle with yummy pecans always hits the spot.

I'd only just heard of Wally's the night before from a family member in this area. In the morning when we were ready to leave our lodging, I checked the join waitlist button on Yelp. We parked right out front. We were seated within 2 minutes of arrival. Our server Stacey exemplified customer service as its best. I had a fabulous Belgian waffle, along with eggs, hash browns and turkey sausage. The coffee was just okay and they didn't have flavored creamer on the table. I didn't ask, so maybe they do upon request. They call their hash browns Wally Potatoes, so I assumed they would be home fries. Hash browns are my favorite and they were perfectly browned. I would come back!

Who doesn't line waffles!?

Got take away this afternoon with my brother and the food was delicious. We ordered French toast,…read moreshrimp and grits and veggie omelette. The veggie omelette was so unique and tasted. It had greens in it instead of spinach and it was so tasty. The French toast bites were also different but in a good way. They were like bite size treats and the flavor wasn't the perfect amount of sweetness and butter, both not to much but extremely tasty, the shrimp and grits were also delicious, buttery, savory and not too much seasoning. When I come back to Akron I look forward to trying more things in the menu. They staff were laid back and the chef was hella pretty. Definitely a gem in Akron if you're craving breakfast food.

I ordered the fish & grits, and every single bite delivered. The grits were creamy and perfectly seasoned, the toast and eggs were spot-on, and the potatoes were cooked just right -- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. It honestly brought a tear to my eye and transported me straight back to breakfast at my grandma's table. But that crispy fish? That was the star of the show, baby!! Golden, perfectly seasoned, fried to perfection -- the kind of bite that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate it. Everything on my plate was delicious, and the service was just as impressive -- warm, welcoming, and attentive without missing a beat. You can taste the love in the food and feel the hospitality in the room. If you're in Akron, do yourself a favor: Go. Go. Go. Support this restaurant! Your taste buds will thank you -- and you'll probably be planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot.

Legendary grilled cheese bar of Akron, complete with little umbrellas on each sandwich. You cannot…read moreeat these tiny umbrellas, but they do somehow make the sandwiches taste amazing, but again do not try to eat these small umbrellas they are inedible. I keep reading these reviews saying the sandwiches are dry. If you are lacking saliva be sure to ask your kind server for some extra sauce like ranch or blue cheese or something. The bartenders are like little fairy people and I don't know where they even found barbacks this good, they are like machine elves keeping the fabric of time weaving along. it's a marvel to witness these normal regular human people do their jobs with expert timing. It's hard to believe they are even real people at all, but perhaps inter dimensional beings sent to earth to teach us more about ourselves and feed us tasty food and bevs. The owner Danny B is a really cool dude and curates a selection of some vintage art films, bob ross, and other incredibly quirky things on the tvs, and the atmosphere is one of the most unique Akron-esque places you could hope to spend your precious time left here on earth. Go have a life changing experience in sleepy old Akron Ohio at this legendary establishment

They have a taco Tuesday thing but it's not a discount it's 3 tacos and you can mix and match from what they make. Which is not really a special in my opinion. The place has a nice patio and inside can fit an about 10 tables of various sizes. And the bar has seating. Cute place. I see it can get crowded on a Friday night or Saturday night. We got the green bean app for the table. They are cooked perfectly with teriyaki glaze and some tempura but not a lot. They have a sauce that has a bit of a kick but not bad. These are good and good to share. Good portion. I ordered the steak and gruyere sandwich and chips. Sandwich was good. Not big but very flavorful and good. Would have liked a bigger banquette for the sandwich. Ok amount of meat. It was good. The chip side was very crunch and good amount. But to me the chips were a bit greasy tasting. Needed more salt and a bit of flavor. It was a ok meal. The friend that suggested the restaurant got the Ohio burger. It was huge. She cut it into 4's and only ate half. It was big! She also got the chips. Again chips were ok just a bit oily tasting and need salt. The dining area is loud. Lots of people in close proximity talking. It's hard to hear and sound is bouncing. That was a bit of a bummer to try and talk over all the noise. Server was good very attentive and helped with suggestions. Bill for 3 sandwiches, including a burger, a water, coke and cider with green beans appetizer was $81. Not including tip.

I can totally see why this place is so popular …read more Made a reservation for Sunday afternoon (saw how yelpers recommended to make a reservation) *note that your card gets charged $25 if you don't show up.
