★★★★☆ 4.0 Marc · Feb 2026

The food was great. I sat at the bar so there was no waiting for a Sunday morning. The staff missed the mushrooms (capped) in my hash brown order though. This is the first time that I've had an mistakes in my order at a Waffle House. Normally they're perfect. I can only give three stars for the atmosphere because it was a little bit dirtier than the normal Waffle House experience (broken egg shells on the floor for example). I did enjoy my breakfast though and my waitress was super nice.

Great waffle house experience and came with some first timers! Stopped by on a busy Saturday morning post Jazz Fest and didn't wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. Staff were so friendly and patient and our food was delicious. Hot and fresh, perfectly seasoned, and everything came out just as ordered. No Waffle House where we all live and this was the best treat before heading home!! We even bought a mug, only $5, as a souvenir and reminder of our great time.

Ordered a pecan waffle. Cooked too dark brown and hard on the outside. Iron too hot or just left it in too long.

I went in there yesterday, this lady server came over and never greeted me just ask for what I wanted to drink I told her coffee. She comes back to get my order and I start telling her my order, I like my eggs over easy so I say I want my eggs over easy and she says "we only have over medium" might I ad she's talking to someone that has about a 20 year background in cooking food, serving food and I'm currently a tipped employee( we tip good) i says we'll that's the way i always order them, she didn't say anything do I proceeded with the rest of my order and I ask her to bring the grits out before the rest( it never came) I didn't say anything the whole visit but that was the worst show of customer service I believe I've ever seen. The lady never greeted me it was, we don't serve over easy
