Waffle House — Restaurant in Gainesville

Service was very good and friendly on a crowded Saturday morning. Someone even decided to celebrate their birthday there and the staff enthusiastically sang happy birthday. It was touching and I couldn't help but smile.

Then I remembered I just paid $23 for breakfast for two at the flippin Waffle House. Is that even possible? My smile quickly faded kind of like stale butter on a greasy griddle.

My breakfast didn't come with hash browns but I said to myself, hey, it's the flippin Waffle House and half the fun of getting hash browns there is ordering them. You know like rattling off smoothly all the cool options like covered, cracked, brittle, spittle whatever. Except when my order arrived they forgot the chili which after I reminded them they quickly added.

After all, my $2,40 hash brown add on was running an extra 50 cents for the cheese, another 50 cents for the jalapenos and another 50 cents for the chili, I figure was due some flippin chili.

So for a ransom of $3.90 I got my hash browns which looked like considerably less food than a Whopper which I'm pretty sure you can get for three bucks. See the picture and decide for yourself.

The bacon showed up late to the show but I have to say, the biggest surprise was the waffle. We had to, because after all. It ain't called the Hash Brown House now is it?

The waffle arrived and we immediately became convinced someone had run over it. Had it not had the telltale diamond grid pattern we might have mistaken it for a pancake or maybe a potholder.

The sausage patties were small as were the scrambled eggs portion, the over eggs were greasy, the biscuit we were unable to even finish eating as it had picked up some serious griddle funk. But outside of that, the food wasn't good.

Oh Waffle House you are a cruel mistress, serving us up amazing food at 2 am after jukin' all night and then delivering such a harsh reality...

today I visited waffle house on Newberry Road which used to be one of my favorites in Gainesville. There was only one other customer inside of the restaurant one cook and one waitress waitress. Who is the nastiest Ugly young lady. She hates on me the entire time! I was going to originally eat inside but her attitude was so 🤮 She actually threw the menu to me and it fell crooked on the table. when I asked for grits and hashbrowns …the way she looked at me was so disturbing. I asked her was it a problem that I had asked for the grits and hashbrowns! her attitude was so nasty I would not even sit in restaurants while my food was made. the only reason I continue to get some food was because I was starving and the Cook was so embarrassed and such a nice gentleman. When I went in to get my food not only did she mess up my order she did not give me my drink and then proceeded to tell me that she did not like people like me! I don’t know if it’s because I look good today I or because I sun bathed today, if it’s because I’m in a good mood today but this lady miserable! She was hiding like anyone with low self esteem behind a jacket so no name I can give. But beware! It’s 5:16pm so she must work day shift. If you a beautiful woman with your own DO NOT EAT HERE. Never thought I’d say this but IHOP Way better. Waffle House you should roll the film and take that trash out...

I came in on a road trip, tired and hungry, all the way from Boston just wanting to get a bite to eat after a 20+ hours drive. I got there at 2AM, which this place is supposedly 24hr so I don't see why this would've been an issue.

I get inside and there was one employee, and 2 people not in any sort of uniform who I assumed were friends of the employee. One of the friends told me to get out condescendingly saying there were "not doing food right now" and seeing that it was 3 people against just me I felt outnumbered and just quietly left.

I'm 99% sure the "no food" was a lie, there was no signage on the door and all the lights were still on, and from reading the recent reviews people seem to have an issue with a particular employee who works late nights who fits the description of who I saw behind the counter. Waffle House definitely fits up to the "trashy" reputation I hear all the time from my friends who live down in this area. Will definitely be my first and least time visiting a waffle house on my journeys.

Perkins is so much more friendly and was lovely to me after my...
