The Waffle House

After 30 years, I finally returned to The Waffle House in Ramsgate, South Africa—and it did not disappoint. This iconic coastal gem has stood the test of time, offering an unforgettable experience that blends nostalgia with culinary delight. The moment you step in, the warm, friendly atmosphere welcomes you, with views of the serene lagoon setting the perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. The waffles? Absolutely amazing. Light, crisp, and golden, each bite is a testament to the care and quality that have made this spot a local legend. The variety on offer is impressive—from sweet classics with fresh fruit and cream, to savoury options featuring ingredients like chicken mayo, bacon, or even curry mince. There truly is something for everyone. What stood out just as much as the food was the attentiveness of the staff—quick service with a smile, and a clear sense of pride in what they do. After three decades, The Waffle House is still delivering excellence. Whether you’re a first-timer or returning after years like me, it’s a must-visit if you’re in Ramsgate. The blend of tradition, flavour, and charm makes this more than a meal—it’s an experience.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly! The atmosphere is peaceful and the food delicious. The potions will seem small at first until you try finish it and concede to the need of a takeaway bag. Definitely pop into the deli they have and pick yourself up some frozen waffles and their sauces! I had the chilli con carne waffle for breakfast so it was awesome to be able to still have a sweet waffle from here when I returned home.

The Waffle House offers an impressive variety of both sweet and savory waffles—definitely something different and fun to try. The quality is good and the portion sizes are fair, but the pricing feels a bit steep for the average diner. R186 for chicken ala king topping just doesn't feel justified. It’s a nice treat now and then, especially if you’re looking to try something unique, but not somewhere I'd go regularly just based on cost. Still, worth a visit if you're in the mood to indulge or passing through as we were.

Based in a serene and picturesque spot with the tastiest waffles and friendly staff. Will definitely visit again to try the savory options.

The Banoffee remains the waffle that steals the show. Staff were all super friendly & quick to serve. Was an absolute pleasure sitting next to the fireplace whilst enjoying the scenery and coffee.

A visit to the Waffle House in Ramsgate is mandatory if you are in town. Offering a mouth-watering menu of sweet and savoury waffles (as well as other treats), this is definitely the place to go for anyone with a sweet tooth. The milkshakes were a big hit with our group. Staff are friendly and attentive. The quality of the food is excellent, and the portion sizes are good. Prices vary, but in general, menu items seem to be moderately priced. The Waffle House is great for a treat after a day on the beach, but just be wary that you might have to queue on busy days during the holiday season. We were lucky enough to visit when it was relatively quiet. Well worth the visit! The Waffle House also has a deli and takeaway section where you can purchase various items, including fresh organic produce, prepared meals, frozen waffles, and other products.

The service is great. The waiters are very helpful and makes suggestions on the specialty dishes of the day. BUT. TO PAY R40 for a coca cola or any softdrink. Is daylight robbery. I will definitely never ever drink something at the waffle house. They charged us R160 for 4 drinks. I think they should rethink the drink prices.

Absolutely amazing, beautiful environment, great ambiance, not to mention the amazing food that is outstanding and has been consistently so for decades - a must do - try the Belgian choc chip waffle with chocolate mouse
