"Atlanta’s hometown diner turns into a hungry and hilarious mashup of people from every walk of life the later in the evening it gets, when folks are looking to soak up booze with all things smothered and covered. But, really, the people watching at Waffle House is good any time of day." - Eater Staff

How could you not love waffle house. !?!The staff is friendly, outgoing, and patient fries are delicious especially with hamburgers and hamburgers r just have that crispyness from the grill.

Good was good. Service was good. Took two points off for ridiculous temperature. It is freezing in this place. It blew our food cold in a couple of minutes. Bring a coat... lol

We have to work on service here. I did not go into this expecting A-1 level service. I'm aware of what waffle house is and what they do. We were greeted quickly and told to take the one open seat. Server is friendly enough and brought drinks quickly. We ordered a waffle with sausage and a cheesesteak melt( hash brown bowl) the waffle arrives by itself. Which is off since it's half of one persons order. It arrives with no silverware. 5-7 minutes later we finally get someone's attention and silver ware is brought. We are now ten minutes with half an order and then my food comes. I'm not sure what the issue was with getting two pieces of sausage and why half an order is even brought out but this is a clear service failure. We ended up ordering a SECOND waffle which made it to the table around the same time the sausage finally appeared We never received a bill. We finally just left the table and went to the cash register and had THAT person get our bill so we can pay. Service failure yet again. Place was clean enough. The food was as expected. They just have to do better on the service side of things

Forgot to post the waffle and breakfast we ordered. Just got to town and wanted something to go. Food was prepared FAST and cooked well. Server was friendly. Restaurant was clean inside and out.

This waffle house is very nice. The staff are always friendly and efficient and keep your drinks full. The food is always cooked well and comes out fast. Biscuit breakfast sandwich is delicious and only $3. The only reason 4 stars, not 5 is that sometimes the cleanliness of the overall restaurant leaves something to be desired, but never had a problem with the utensils/plates. I'm not sure why some of the reviews are so low. If you adjust your expectations appropriately, it's pretty good!

Honestly I've always heard Waffle House isn't that great as far as service and time goes but I had an amazing first & second experience. The service here was so fast, we didn't have to wait at all. It was fresh & yummy. We had two different servers both times and both girls were so friendly, attentive, and just had great attitudes. They were personable and I loved that. Our first experience was so good we went back for a second time. I just wish they had more options to choose from on the menu. I'm not a fan of hash browns or grits so I wish they had French fries or another side.

Yelp
0 stars if I could. It took 45 minutes to receive 2 waffles. Was told twice that it would be another 7-10 minute wait. Great food, horrible service.

R and I came here for breakfast this morning at around 8:30 am. So far, this Waffle House location gets my award for "Worst Overall Customer Service." The employees who interacted with us seemed like they really didn't want to be bothered by any customers, which is a pity since customer service is a major part of their jobs. The parking lot here provided more than enough spaces for customers. I honestly like the layout inside of this location because the Take Out area is separated from all of the other areas where customers dining in sit. Customer seating is at the tall counter, and in booths along the windows and the kitchen area. This place needs to be cleaned much better. We went to a booth that was allegedly clean, but I had to wipe away all of the food pieces that were on the bench seat. We sat at the table for a few minutes while employees just looked at us and ignored us, even though there were maybe 7 total customers. Finally, a glum looking server came to our table and placed a couple of wet and dirty menus on the table and walked away after we told her we wanted glasses of water. While she was gone, I took the time to wipe our very wet table dry using a few napkins. When she came back with our glasses, she asked us, "Will this be on one check or two?" "Uh ... just one." We then ordered: Hash brown bowl with sausage, scrambled eggs and gravy for me, and hash brown bowl with bacon, over easy eggs and jalapeño for R. Didn't take too long for the food to be served - the cook was pretty quick and efficient. After placing our food on the table, our server then asked if we needed anything. Right after we said no, she immediately placed the check on the table, and left, never to be seen at our table again. No employees came to our table after that, even though we hadn't even started eating! Our food was as expected, although I didn't care for the gravy since it was too thin and lacked flavor. About 10 minutes later, I noticed an employee emptying the gravy from the warmer and replacing it with "fresh" gravy. Hmmm ... I was obviously given "old" gravy. That explains the watery gravy ... After we finished our meal, I waited at the nearest register at the counter so that I could pay ... and waited while employees ignored me. One of the employees looked at me then went back to doing whatever she was doing under the counter without saying a word to me. After more moments of being ignored, that same employee walked past me and said, "Come to THIS register" which was the Take Out register. She had a condescending attitude, like she was doing me a favor. During the payment transaction, I tried using the credit card contactless function on the point-of-sale (it had what looks like a sideways wifi icon on it), and it didn't work. The employee taking my payment told me, "Well, it works a lot better if you push your card into the machine!" Hey, how was I supposed to know that your machine won't take contactless transactions? I'll pass on coming back to this location. Customers aren't appreciated.

this sucked...the place had only two other small group there's it took them 30mins to come and take my order then took another 30 for two waffles. go to other locations. I'm a huge fan of Waffle House and the employees but this had none of that. the employees were also rude and so unattentive.

The Waffle House is the ultimate destination for satisfying your cravings. Nowhere else can you find a place that effortlessly fulfills your longing for heavenly scrambled eggs infused with the fiery kick of jalapeños, all wrapped up in a fluffy and delightful batter. It's a breakfast experience that's simply irresistible.

Francheska M.

Yelp
the food was absolutely amazing. our server was so sweet and attentive. i love how you could tell how close everyone was, always joking around and unafraid to ask questions. they support their customers and check in the make sure they enjoy their time in the restaurant. i love how they were always smiling like they were happy to be there. you could tell in their cooking they love what they do. this was by far the best waffle house i've ever been to.

If I could give no stars I would. I generally do not review places but this place has been consistently shitty for the last 2 years. They are extremely racist. Only allow black folks after 3 am. Their security guy wouldn't let us in to PICK UP Only, our order but everyone black after us was allowed in for some reason or other. This is completely unacceptable. This store is consistently not good. It's not a one time instance but a 7-8 time instance.

While visiting Atlanta a few months ago, our hotel was kind enough to bring us here in their house car when we told them that we wanted to eat at "Waffle House" since we don't have these in SoCal. Apparently, this is a common request because several other tourists were being dropped off, also. We were a little apprehensive because of the mixed reviews, but...WOW!!! The food was pretty good, there was no wait, & the service was great! The gentleman who waited on our table was so nice that he even gave us some cute "Waffle House" hats, took pictures with us, & "went the extra mile" to make sure we had everything we needed & enjoyed ourselves. Great "Waffle House" in the Buckhead area!

I had one of those kinda nights that can only be salvaged by Waffle House. Fortunately our group made it in before the late night rush and had counter seating. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with hash browns and diced tomatoes. Everything came out perfectly. Those with waffles and eggs said nothing was burned or under cooked. Service was also lovely and bathrooms clean!

Nate F.

Yelp
You know what it is. That late night 3 AM drunk/high fix you need. Nice greasy breakfast food, ratchet enough environment, good music playing. It's just right.

My sister and I had brunch at this Waffle House today and while the food was OK, I couldn't understand why the cashier was not wearing a mask. She was but it was below her mouth. Majority of the time it was under her mouth; a complete health and safety hazard. All the other staff members were wearing a mask's except for her (servers, cooks etc.). We waited in the car because there were too many people sitting inside already so we ate in the car rather than dining in. Also, while we waited for our to-go orders we noticed a large group of workers go in for lunch and all but 2 of them worse a mask. We are still in the middle of a pandemic and most establishments have a clear note on the door stating that masks are required. Why does Waffle House not have have this? (At least for this location). Why is it ok for workers and guests to not wear a mask to keep themselves and others safe?

I and in with my family and was told to keep it down or get out I have never experienced this at any Waffle House I have visited! I will never got to this location! I was not not greeted or approached, not ok! U will not have to worried about my business!

I eat at this Waffle house about once a month and I have never had anything but a great experience... And this morning was no exception... Enjoyed the Grand Slam breakfast and substituted biscuits and gravy for the waffle... Service was excellent and the the staff was very friendly.

Stopped in to get some breakfast for supper they screamed at me we're closed it had an attitude does anybody have anything nice to say anymore are we just rude to everybody around us I'm 700 miles from home and this is the way I'm received at your restaurant I'll never come back to this one rude and disrespectful and hateful what is this world come to will not ever eat here

Jake H.

Yelp
Disgustingly rude staff. Corporate WH should be ashamed of themselves for this location. We walked in and lady looked at us for 5 minutes like we had ten heads. We said "table for 2" she ignores us. Then proceeds to tell us the grill is off for 30 min. Doesn't apologize or anything. Avoid this location.

Keith W.

Yelp
The cook at 1:50a should respect people that have been waiting in line instead of trying to pick up women. Line cutting isn't ok - especially when a person says they aren't feeling well.

Arrived around 12:30am after a long day just wanted some quick good food. Arrived not knowing that between the hours of 9pm & 5am you could not sit inside it was takeout only. Ordered two eggs with grits & sausage and a order of biscuits & gravy. Was a little busy so took a little bit for food to be ready didn't mind the wait. While inside the other customers in front of me were complaining about the wrong orders being given to them. Made me kind of nervous that my order would be messed up. Food finally came up I double checked & everything was right. Now on to the food part. Eggs toast & grits were great. Side of sausage was ice cold and a little hard like it had been sitting around. Biscuits & gravy wasn't bad biscuits were a littler overpowered by a butter taste and only one piece of sausage in the gravy. Server who took my order was very nice and made sure my order was right definitely appreciate that

This WaHo is the best!! They have never failed to serve me their special after a long night out!! The staff is super friendly and the place is always packed.

I just waited inside for over 20 minutes waiting to place my to-go order and watched as they helped people who placed orders over the phone (which I tried to do but was hung up on). Very bad service. It was not that busy.

Dina J.

Nice retro experience. Who doesn't love a nice waffle worth syrup washed down with black coffee. Love slitting at the counter. Very reasonably priced as well.

This has probably been the best service I've EVER received from a Waffle House. I ordered over the phone while at work and went to pick up the food. I was given a 15 minute window and when I arrived my food was ready and waiting at the counter. This was a plus because I literally work 5 mins away and didn't want to waste my lunch break waiting on food. I ordered the all star which is an all time favorite at Waffle House. It includes bacon, eggs, toast, grits and a waffle or you can substitute for hash browns. Be sure to ask for a soft waffle or it may be crispy. I almost never expect 2/2 at any waffle house due to them always being so crowded. I will definitely be back to this Waffle House. I have been here before and usually they get something wrong on my order and I never do a review. The service and food were both great this time so I wanted to make sure I reviewed their service and food. If you are like me and would possibly eat breakfast for a million meals, then indulge in waffle house.

Sigh. I had eaten at a Waffle House in Ft Walton Beach and had the best breakfast and service. This one in Atlanta is terrible. I asked for soft scrambled eggs and they were the opposite. My waffle, well, it was a morphed bubble when it was brought to my table. Very disappointed but, I guess it is a waffle House.

Christina A.

Yelp
It's a waffle house. I came here at 3 am after hitting up the Buckhead bars and it was PACKED. The food was standard, but the service was exceptional. They could churn people through FAST! Definitely a waffle house, but a good waffle house.

Courtney W.

Yelp
I normally stay away from reviewing popular chains because no matter how yummy or gross they are, people will continue to come. I haven't been to WF in yearssss so I'm not sure what changed. We arrived about midnight and long story short, everything was amazing. Our server Erica was fun, friendly and very attentive. We ordered everything from waffles, grits, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, toast, coffee, hot chocolate and sweet tea - everything was GOOD! I loved watching the men cook in old fashioned pans and getting all our orders correct. This food hit the spot! So much so that we returned the following day around 2am for more. Kudos again to Erica, she was amazing.

Waffle house is always on point. Waffle and grilled chicken breast for me and waffle and bacon for my little guest.

Want breakfast almost anytime? Come here! Environment: 7/10 a bit chaotic and dirty. There are limited seats that get fill up quick, especially during breakfast time, but that is to be expected. At the end of the day, when it is busy and slightly dirty, it means they're doing something right. However don't come here for a romantic ambiance, your lady won't be pleased... Food quality: 6/10 good choices. I had the steak and eggs, no toast with a side of bacon. My partner had waffles and hash-browns. A few choices that are made quickly and theoretically easily- what could go wrong, right? Well apparently...the details. My scrambled eggs were made well (9/10), my steak looked really good (8/10), and my hash-browns looked good (9/10). My bacon came a few minutes later and were the best part of the meal (10/10). Where is the 1-2% that is lacking you ask?? The food came out cold! Cold steak, lukewarm eggs and semi-warm hash-browns. I like my steak at least warm if not sizzling with deliciousness all up in my mouth when I bite into it. But hey, it isn't a steak house...so I cannot really complain; I just wish it was a but better and this I believe could be improved by the chefs. Other than that, bacon was the best- hot and crispy (like burnt- which tasted great). I believe the waffles and hash my partner got was great though- so for a first time eater- the safe choice is waffles and hash-browns! I don't think you can go wrong there. Customer service: 10/10 without a doubt our waiter was hospitable, quick and easy going. He's probably the one with the coolest name there and they call him Shorty. You were awesome! Quickness: 9/10 pretty quick even with all the people which is great. We had almost no wait time. That's all for now. Keepin it real from NYC to ATL, @NewYorkOHolic

3AM Drunk chronicles at Waffle House... waited a long time to be seated... security guard actually sat us, at a dirty table, which we were fine with since Waffle House is usually quick about cleaning things up. Until Dottie came around and said to us, "who sits at a dirty table?" Totally disrespected us, and walked away. With that being said, we still waited a few minutes and she never came back to clean up nor take our orders. She wasn't even doing shit but talking to her coworkers. Shame on you for no customer service qualities at all.

On a Sunday morning I always think of hash browns I've gone here since I was probably four years old great food and Service

I don't normally rate Waffle Houses however this one has the best staff and the food is solid. Every time I go in, no matter the day or time, the people seem genuinely happy! Whoever is running this store, keep it up!

The food is cool but the service at this location is horrible. The workers have attitudes and aren't pleasant at all. I'd recommend firing them all and getting an entirely new team. You'd think the waffle in Buckhead would have better service...

Caroline S.

All I wanted this morning was a nice warm waffle. After waiting 25 minutes to be seated, we finally sat down. Our waitress barely spoke a word. She was giving my dad an attitude about his order when he asked a question. I finally get my food and there is a hair in my hash browns. Absolutely disgusting.

Hi you have a lot of flies inside. It is hard to enjoy my breakfast when there are flies roaming around and landing on the syrup bottle etc. Please get this under control because when I am hungover and see these animals lurking around I feel very sick

Peter T.

Yelp
This place taste like poop. Save your time and go to another location. Servers are decent here, but the cooks are horrible. I had a waffle which was okay but the Texas cheese steak was so nasty I couldn't eat it. The cheese wasn't even melted in the sandwich or grilled right. I had covered hash brown, I almost had a diarrhea attack. I won't be here anymore, I got sick from a year ago from all the grease.

Tammie L.

Best waffle at Waffle House so far. It didn't need any syrup. The egg was perfectly over easy. The grits were tasty. My Arnold-Palmer was perfectly mixed....and service with a genuine smile. Good spot

Suzette H.

Yelp
Not a good experience. Waited a long time to get seated when there were 4 tables available. Food didn't even seem fully, fully cooked, like the cooks were in a rush to make it. The Waffle was literally white and soggy. This is ridiculous for where the location is at.

Hit this location with a relative during family vacation, because can you even say youve been to the south if you dont visit Waffle House lol. The staff seemed really nice, the food was typical WH fare. We had a nice chat. 4 stars

Teresa S.

I'm from LA and we don't have waffle house in California. When I come down south it's always One of the places on my to do list. I ordered a cheesy eggs and onions scrambled hard , some creamy buttery grits , Bacon toast ,orange juice and I was so excited to see my waffle had the logo smack dab in the middle... I had to take a picture. The customer service was great, the people were nice and the food was everything I remembered. When I went back to this location before my flight my server was nice enough to take this cute picture of me.

Yelp
Overall I'm a Waffle House fan. Seriously. I love the place. There's a good bit of comfort that comes with the familiarity that accompanies every visit here. You can always count on the same food, pretty much cooked the same way, in a restaurant decorated identically the one that you went to last time. Today I had a great breakfast/lunch/brunch served up by Miss Vivian. I've been to this location a few times and it was a capacity crowd filled with post-church goers, tourists, and people from the neighborhood. I am a member of the latter group and even though I skipped church, it certainly seemed like a good fellowship. I had a great conversation with some guys visiting from Alabama and Rami had his first taste of sweet tea. Today was a great day for me. I'll give the weather some credit, but I think it's mostly because my day started here. Thanks Waffle House. I appreciate you.

Clara K.

during our trip to ATL, we kept seeing waffle houses everywhere we went. it was like they were taunting us with visions of waffles smeared with butter and dripping with syrup. on our last day, we stopped by the buckhead location for breakfast after checking out of the hotel. the menu was slightly overwhelming, but we narrowed it down to the hash browns (with cheese, onions, mushrooms and jalapenos), a single waffle, steak and eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy, and a side of bacon. oh and sweet tea. the hash browns were awesome, especially because they're customizable (i'm glad i didn't get everything on it though... i suspect all of the above plus tomatoes plus chili AND sausage gravy may have been overkill). the other dishes were okay. the biscuits and gravy weren't as good as what we had at the flying biscuit, but the waffle was decent as waffles go. i'd go back for the hash browns.

Jennifer W.

Yelp
I received horrible service here it took the waitress 40mn to bring me a straw 2 hours to bring our table food and on top of that the waitress Tosh was rude and nasty, she told us to get up and leave and even walked away from the table while my friend was trying to explain her waffle was burned. I was horrified at the terrible customer service this waitress displayed. No one should be treated how we were treated.
