Here is a bold statement: I hate Waffle House. Why? Everything, and I mean everything smacks of the sickening artificial butter flavor of partially hydrogenated trans fats (margarine!). The eggs swim in it, the potatoes swim in it, the waffles swim in it...and if that weren't enough they give you portion cups of the stuff on the side. Also, these places are absolutely filthy. I feel like I need a shower and a dose of antibacterial hand cleaner after leaving here. I know its cheap, I know its open 24 hours, I know it is a Southern institutuon, but face it folks it ain't too good. I'd much rather IHOP it if I'm in the mood for breakfast chains.

Waffle House has always treated drunk/hungover me very, very well. "What can I get ya' tonight hun?" My usual order please. "And what's that?" Uh... That's how it always is. Oh, what's my usual? It changes :P All time favorite is the chocolate chip pecan waffles. Mmmm. I love how it's old fashioned and they yell out the orders to the cooks. I don't think they've ever made a mistake on my order. Props to you waffle house! You always make me smile and 5 pounds heavier.

This is the most poorly run Waffle House I have ever been to and I have given it the benefit of the doubt since I live down the street. I just got back from dinner which I never received as I finally had to leave after a 30 minute wait. I paid my bill but had enough as the restaurant was almost totally empty. The problem is that the staff does not care, the manager does not care, and the cook certainly didn't care as I sat in front of him waiting for my meal. This Waffle House needs a total house clean from top to bottom. Get a staff, managers, and cooks that actually care about doing their job right. I love Waffle House but this one doesn't deserve the name on the side of the building.

I love Waffle House. I tend to go to WH after I hit the bars. Its great Hang over food. Service has been great every where I go in Ga ,SC or FL. .Well I have been to this location 3 times. I can tell you the last two times( sober) weren't very pleasant. If you do order food there is a separate register for togo due to there high volume of sales. Once you paid the to-go order you are dead to the server. The server will yonder around the restaurant or go out back and smoke. They believe its is up to you to keep up if the meal completed or not. Then will give you an nasty attitude if you asked them if the meal is done,don't tip well or not at all. Call in orders are also not consistent. Made the server show me the sales slip and its completely different what i recalled on the phone. Well It lets just say I walked out . The server had the balls to call me out . Lets just say good service is may issue to the Employees at this location.

The only reason why I give them one star is because the food is good. Outside of that this place has horrible service and it's been this way on COUNTLESS occasions. There is an older woman named Gloria that works here that has such a horrible attitude every time I've came to this location. There is no reason why you should stand right In front of me for a few minutes, but simply won't greet me (as I'm waiting to place a takeout order) because you're too busy. Regardless of how busy you are, you should always greet your guests and acknowledge them. Point blank. I used to be a restaurant manager, so I know what great costumer service is and this place needs A LOT of work.

Although I don't care for the sticky floors and "ambiance" of waffle house, this is my lazy go to weekend breakfast spot. I usually get 1 strawberry waffle and hash browns. I think I have trust issues because I always cook my turkey bacon and eggs at home. :-) Please be sure to clearly spell out your order as I have had sausage in with my hash browns despite never having ordered this and the fact that I only eat kosher. Nonetheless, I really enjoy this waffle house.

I had a pretty terrible dining experience at this Waffle House. We came during the middle of the day. The restaurant wasn't very busy. Just our party of three and a couple other tables. I thought Waffle House prided itself on having some of the friendliest servers, but our server wouldn't give us the time of day. She was too preoccupied with her friend who was walking back and forth from his pickup truck outside. It was old, beat up, and it looked like he lived out of the thing. I think he eventually went into the restroom to take a shower. He alone gave this place a sketchy/unsafe vibe. I ordered the Meat Lovers Pork Chop Dinner which comes with pork chops, house salad, hash browns, and Texas toast. You can get two pork chops for about $8 and three for $10. I ordered three. I should've ordered none. When our server finally got around to it, my (frozen) pork chops were cooked to order, half-heartedly. The house salad wasn't fresh. Instead, the green leaves of lettuce were soft and soggy. I felt sorry for them. The slices of tomato were the same. Very unappetizing. When the pork chops hit the table, I should've run. Just looking at them, I could already tell they weren't going to be very good. They were thin, scrawny, and greasy slices of pork. The meat was hard, tough, and ridiculously chewy. Like the chops, the hash browns were uber greasy. The buttered toast was OK (fortunately, it's not hard to mess that one up). I didn't feel too good about myself after eating this stuff. Aside from poor food and service, the restaurant was dirty. The only silver lining was the other server seemed like an absolute sweetheart. Too bad we didn't get her instead. Perhaps chalk all this up to a bad day, but this bad day was enough to make me stay away from this Waffle House quite possibly for good.

OKAY FEB 2,2009 WAS MY FIRST TIME EATING AT "WAFFLE HOUSE" I am 18 years old and never ate at a waffle house. So i live close to this one, and was hungry and didn't feel like cooking. So My bestie & I hop in the car and was like let's try waffle house. I was scared at first because I always thought they serve waffles only LOL. Well When I went in and sat down, my life change at that moment. IT WAS SO FUN, FILLED WITH LOVE AND THE BEST SERVER EVER. The food was great and DID I MENTION CHEAP... This is the best waffle house, I went to other ones after this date, but didn't have great service like this one. I love the cooks, waiters & the place.!!! thanks alot!

Waffle Houseeeeeeeee Waffle House is the pinnacle of (relatively) quick late night food, and this location is no different. I honestly can't compare to many other waffle houses, but this one is decent and satisfies my hunger in the middle of the night when I'm hungry for some cheap breakfast.

i AM a fan. every once in a blue moon, i crave the All Star Special. Mind you, it's when I'm STARVING and feel like I'm going to waste away (which, will never happen). Blueberry waffles are Gurrrrreat! I get the ham, eggs, and grits with toast. And now, I'm hungry damn it. Anyway, it's usually pretty busy, but Sundays are CRAZINESS at my WaHo. The other things I've had are also good. But I prefer the all star special; and also prefer going there only for that. I'll be back. Obviously.

Have waited over 20 mins just for a drink order .....after we made them aware we had not been helped! But the employees did go over and start music on the jute box and we're dancing with each other behind the counter, which I'm ok with if you actually give service to your customers. Maybe just a Sunday afternoon shift change but there were also several employees sitting around eating 2:15pm? Very disappointed because this location has probably the best cooks in Atlanta. We finally got our drinks after being there 35 mins, so probably won't go back.

It was a lovely day and my tummy was rumbling. After several weeks of holiday cooking, I got sick at the thought of washing more pans and making another mess in the kitchen. Brunch sounded like a nice way to start the year/ PCAT studying and I asked Daniel where he wanted to go. We've been to all the schmancy places (West Egg, Flying Biscuit, Original Pancake House, Thumbs-Up Diner, and many others) but there are times that call for a cheap, delicious breakfast. This was such a day and Waffle House was his choice. The Waffle House at Howell Mill Road is within walking distance to our apartment so off we went. We've been here many times before and it's vastly superior to its sister location on Northside Drive. Not all Waffle Houses are created equally and I got an awful cold after I visited that location. I won't mention what the bathroom looked like...EWWW This one has awesome service and the ladies have always been quick to fill my coffee cup. The food is what you would expect- greasy, large, and filling. I usually order hash browns smothered and covered with a bowl of chili. Dan gets dippy eggs and grits with raisin toast. They also do a great job of getting the crowd in and out the door at prime times like Sunday morning. It's reliable and consistent which can be to find in Atlanta. It will never be fancy or contemporary dining, but it will always be one of my favorites. #Yelp365 - 2/365

This is my 'home' Waffle House. Compared to others I've been to it's about average. The staff isn't always friendly, and they do their best. The food is good, but seems a little more greasy than most. I'll admit that it's not my favorite, just the most convenient.

We came in and it was really busy. But the ladies were real nice and offered us a seat at the bar as soon as we came in. We took the seats at the bar and were taken care of with menus immediately. For how busy it was they did a fantastic job of serving us promptly. Food was top notch, hit the spot. They brought out the wrong toast but brought us out the correct one quickly without us having to say anything. The server was very polite and friendly. Good experience. Health inspection grade is questionable though...

I generally like waffle house, but I would stay away from this specific one. I've been to this waffle house twice and both times I was disappointed. First off, the crowd there late at night is sketchy as hell. The first time I went to this waffle house I was greeted by a girl that said to me and my friends "You went to the wrong waffle house!" as she walked out of the door. Her friend then quickly said "wow your so racist." I ignored the comment and trucked on into the waffle house. It took forever to be seated and served, and when we were finally served I found the food to be much greasier than the average waffle house. Still, I didn't hold this against this store and tried to go eat there on a second occasion. I had a similar experience and decided not to go back. Just to clarify, I'm not saying don't go to any waffle house, just don't go to THIS waffle house.

What can I say? I needed Waffle House this morning. The one at Howell Mill and DeFoor is less than 5 miles away. There you have it. Let's not be mistaken...when you've gone to the Waffle House it's because: a) You've been partying and need to off-set the alcohol with a vat of grease b)You actually LIKE greasy spoon food c)You've not been to the market and your cupboards are bare All of these instances have been the case at one time or another for me but today's reason du jour was Letter C. My buttermilk waffle was fresh from the iron and my hashbrowns were scattered, smothered and covered with perfection. It was all good. The next thing I'm ordering up is a nap. Comfort food on a rainy day (such as this one) hits the spot.

I don't really need to review the Waffle House, rather the guy that was sitting behind us. The seediest of all the Waffle Houses that grace the southland, a strip joint next door, attached to some roach motel with zombies lumbering throughout the parking lot. Resembling Monty Python's Meaning of Life, The Big Guy sits at the table and slobbers, "gimme the bucket", to projectile his food into the bucket as he eats more and more. The Big Guy orders 5 different breakfast meals to allow me ample time to recite the play by play to my breakfast mates. It was a sickening turn of events. The Big Guy was devouring everything, as one breakfast mate turns green and retreats to the seedy parking lot filled with zombies. "Give me the bucket"! The Big Guy tops it off with a cup of sugar with a sprinkling of coffee. A classic finishing moment for The Big Guy.

I had eggs over medium with grits, I asked my server to make sure that the cooks pull the eggs from a fridge rather than the basket above grill. This is common at all waffle house to pre stage eggs like that. I also asked them to get 2 eggs over med well so that the yolk wasn't fully cooked and the egg whites are not undercooked. Darren (cook) them to perfection. I am hard to please at waffle house also my server shantae did great, thanks guys
