Stopped here on my way back to NY, on a Sunday late morning, wasn’t busy at all surprisingly! My waitress was very attentive and nice. Food was hot and fresh! Not one complaint. Definitely was one of the cleanest waffle houses I’ve ever been too. I had a great experience.

My husband and I enjoy coming to this Waffle House at night. We always get an amazing service, fresh hot food, and a clean establishment. The night crew here is the best! Highly recommend coming here, especially at night. The two gentlemen that cook during this time work super hard and can definitely cook.

Wonderful service, by a nice young man. Prompt and pleasent, making sure my food was hot when I recieved it and was the way ordered. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food ⭐⭐⭐ Atmosphere (Wasn't impressed with other employees loud voices, inappropriate conversations, and language) This young man didn't seem too impressed by it either. However he continued his job with a smile and excellence. Amazing job, Kodin. Keep up the great work. If my travels bring me back to your area, I'll be sure to come back. Happy New Year!

I’ve been stopping by Waffle House the past few days, and honestly, it’s been worth very penny. The food is always served hot and fresh, just like in the photos from Thursday melt and hashbrowns, to Chocolate-Chip Waffles on Friday, and the pork chop plate on Saturday. The Staff is Super Friendly, attentive and they make you feel welcome the moment you sit down. The Prices are great for the amount of food you get, and the quality stays consistent every time.

Sweet sweet Alicia. A welcoming smile and a busy hand. Jumping from dishes to ice to tables. Shea, noticeably new, right on her heels like she's the one to learn from. Yes ma'am she is! Food was good, conversation was good and it was nice having someone smile when the manager seemed to forget how. Thankful the hotels pancakes machine was broken and we got to have such a great morning with these two!

I just had my first visit here, and I was really impressed! Our server, Angel, was incredibly helpful and informative, making our experience even better. I ordered the waffles, two eggs, grits, toast, and chicken sausage, and it was all absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work! I’ll definitely be back!
