Waffle House — Restaurant in Davie

5 stars because not able to rate with half stars: 4.5 and by using the "buying myself a gift" rationale. I rated it high using this line of thinking: waffle house "WH" is open 24hrs a day and during those hours when 99% of other places to eat are closed aka graveyard shift, WH is your only choice for those aiming to spend $ (Yelp's system of rating how pricey a place is from $ (cheap) to $$$ (moderate/average) to $$$$$ (5$ yes, you guessed it, stupid high expensive). Cracking your wallet open to $$ range would allow us to consider the other 2 franchises also 24hr: Dennys and IHOP but back to our "poor college kid budget target of $ priced eats... Sorry about the wordy tangents. I'll wrap ot up faster with good ol' bullet points:

1. Within a "$" budget and open 24hrs. WH meets both goals perfectly, 5stars

2. Food taste/quality: They are a 24hr breakfast place though their menu does have some meats and lunch options. Its really hard to mess up scrambled eggs and toast. WH does a great job. Food is ALWAYS good and fast. Maybe its that the kitchen/grill is out in the dining area so we the customers can watch them cook and prep our food. Perhaps the novelty of seeing the blurring speed of the cook whisking my eggs in a bowl that makes the time waiting for my order feel like it goes faster. And remember, if for some reason you are unhappy with your dish, don't eat it all then complain to your waiter when its time to pay. You should tell the waiter immediately after the 1st bite. Give them a chance to make it right. Those few haters who give them 1 or 2 stars because they got your royal highness order wrong or the chili tasted funny - tell them and they'll either replace item or remove it from your bill. Point is they ALWAYS make it right. So i dont understand those who eat something nasty and suffer in silence then complain about their meal without even giving WH or any other vendor a chance to fix it. Judge Judy says "If you ate the steak then you have to pay for it " 5stars Staff- remember these are min wage people who are DENNYs and IHOP rejects. In the hierarchy of restaurants, waiters aka servers rely on tips since their hourly pay is low. Min wage if they're lucky though usually its around $3hr + [tips/# of servers per shift] As a former server i did and didn't like their rule of pooling tips: All servers had to put all our tips from the shift into a jar and then we'd add it all up and divide it equally among us 3-4 servers AND the cook. Yes, we had to share our tips with the cook. This system was done so us servers wouldn't fight over tables. After being a server for a while you can tell in 3 seconds if your customer is going to tip and how much. Yes while there are always exceptions to our stereotyping rules, we were pretty spot on. Sharing tips from all tables is how management got us to give all tables equal service and stop us servers from racing to reach new customers we labeled as good tippers aka "good table" Service at this low paying job: 5stars

Location, parking availability, overall fit and finish of the building, all fair to decent. HALF a star deducted because of the single occupant bathrooms- only 2 bathrooms: a male and female room with single toilet fixtures in each. Its not enough - NEVER enough during prime time/ rush hours, especially if an occupant is suffering from gastric distress and may be there a while.

In summary this place is cheap but quality (aka great value) pure food made it front of you. Just note, if you're in dire need of a bathroom, try a gas station first or whatever is closest. Don't go out of your way to a WH just for a bathroom but if you do, grab a yummy sweet tea and a loades topped capped hash browns. Yum.

P.S. No paper or trees were harmes in the writing of this...

Waffle House is a chain of restaurants that serve breakfast around the clock. The first Waffle House was conceived by founder Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner who met when Rogers purchased a house from Forkner. The two men decided to go into business together.

The first Waffle House opened on Labor Day weekend in 1955 in Avondale Estates. Georgia. Rogers wanted to create a restaurant where you could get food quickly while still having table service 24 hours, seven days a week. The name Waffle House was chosen because waffles were the most popular and profitable item on the menu.

By the fourth restaurant in 1960, they began franchising Waffle Houses. In the 1970's the company sold off the first Waffle House restaurant. They purchased it back in 2007, restored it, and turned it into a company museum.

Today Waffle House has 2,100 locates in 25 mainly southern states. If you have ever taken a southern road trip or needed breakfast in the middle of the night after partying, you likely have dined at a Waffle House.

After dropping my dog off at the vet for surgery I was looking for somewhere in the area where I could eat my feelings away. I stumbled on the perfect place, Waffle House. I equate the Waffle House with comfort and nostalgia. No matter which one you step into, they all look the same. I always order the pecan waffle, hash brown, and bacon. After all the years I have been eating at Waffle House I couldn't tell you one other thing on the menu. The staff had some pop music turned on and they were singing along while cheerfully greeting everyone. It was the perfect antidote to my anxiety. They had the pipping hot food on the table in minutes and I was able to tuck into my favorite waffle right away. After I ate I started feeling better. Sunny pulled through his surgery and has been recovering nicely ever since. I am sure everyone in the south has a Waffle House story tied to a crazy night or a road trip. It's not gourmet,...

I just had a religious experience at Waffle House. I swear to God, I walked in a broken woman and left believing in humanity again. The host? An absolute general in the battlefield of waffle-craving chaos. He managed a mob of hungry degenerates with the precision of a seasoned air traffic controller—except instead of planes, it was drunk people, truckers, and families making questionable decisions at 8 AM. Flawless execution.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The bacon? CRISPY. Like, so crispy it had crunch-to-texture ratio engineers should study. The hashbrowns? Perfection. Not a single sad, soggy strand of potato in sight. The waffle? Somehow both crispy and fluffy, like if a cloud did CrossFit. I took one bite and had to sit there and reflect on my life choices. Have I ever been this happy before? Unclear.

The atmosphere? Immaculate. The music was a perfect mix of “I could cry to this” and “let’s fight in the parking lot.” The whole place was clean, which—if you’ve been to a Waffle House, you know—is about as rare as seeing a shooting star.

But the staff? Oh my God. These people worked harder than I ever have at anything. They were sweating, multitasking, reading minds, and somehow still being nice. Like, I asked for a side of butter, and my server said, “Of course, honey!” HONEY. I almost cried.

I didn’t want to leave. I literally considered throwing my birthday party at this Waffle House. Like, imagine getting a cake, blowing out the candles, and then IMMEDIATELY housing a triple order of hashbrowns. Name something better. You can’t.

11/10. Would...
