Munch Munch Waffles & More — Restaurant in Leander

Update (Oct2023) Remember, it’s the little things that can make the difference in a dining experience. After not visiting for over 6 months, I ordered a waffle expecting some changes to the flavor, but not ones that reflected complacency and desensitized palettes. I ordered the classic chicken and waffles and the ‘fall into my pumpkin’ seasonal waffle sadly to find a stiff savoury waffle, over sauced chicken, and pungent salt and sugar levels. Edible, but overwhelming in flavor. Turn the flavor volume a few notches peeps and make a fresh, non-reheated waffle Every time. Also please address your booths’ framing so that we don’t feel the movement of adjoining tables’ patrons.

Good-looking location, friendly staff, and smart seating arrangement. An uplifting song of breakfast and brunch!

Welcoming staff await you with an interesting and concise menu of savory and sweet waffle choices as well as alternative ‘non-waffle’ entrees. Start with the ‘OG’ if you want savory and ‘the mamba’ if you’re looking for something on the sweeter side.

In welcoming relief, I was able to witness the grand opening of their brand-new liberty hill location. With balloons and ribbons flying with inauguration (as well as a raffle!), we were welcomed into a simple yet sophisticated space making its homage to the waffle. With an offer of both traditional and more creative entrée choices, Munch Munch has a streamlined ordering process designed to get you to waffle bliss as quickly and efficiently as possible. The seating variety and design caters to all customers from those on-the-go to patrons who want to stick around for a while.

Overall, if their first day is any sign of their commitment to quality, then the sky is the limit and I cannot wait to watch them succeed.

Room for improvement: The texture of the sweet waffles feels much stiffer and chewy-er than the savory entrees. My guess is that the sweet waffles are ‘colder’ dishes that may be changing the texture of the waffle as they are served. The proper waffle texture is a delicate balance between soft and chewy and will be the detail that sets the standard for loyal return customers.

I will say that, as waffles go, it is a tricky food to champion but definitely worth the challenge. Staff focus and ambition to maintain standards and serve a great waffle consistently will be key, so procure and keep that competitive drive. Because, as far as I know, there isn’t a waffle place worth returning to within a 30 min drive (that includes love & waffles in RR, and that was on TV!), so the seat of the waffle throne is empty and waiting. ...

This was our first time here and had been curious about stopping by since we travel passed it off 29 very frequently.

Two of us walked, there were plenty of open tables, however, we were directed to sit at a 2 top even though we wanted to sit at a 4 top.

I ordered a 'latte' non-seasonal special drink. When I got the drink, it turned out to be a drip coffee with frothy milk. Had I known their version of a latte would have been created from a drip coffee identifying as a latte simply because of the froth, I would have been better off drinking the drip coffee and adding my quantity of cream. I questioned (not to our waiter since he was busy) their version of a 'latte' they only offered more coffee rather than actually charging for a drip coffee, which is what the drink truly was. More coffee does not make a latte. When I made the order, I thought they could actually make a latte because their seasonal menu included other flavorful coffee shop sounding drinks. Definitely not worth the price!

By now, two other customers walked in after us. There were still plenty of tables open and they were able to choose their own table, which turned out to be a 4 top with no conflicts or movements to a 2 top. Unbelievable and unfair!

Once our food came out, the plates did not fit on our 2 top comfortably, so we had to move to a 4 top. The inconvenience could have been avoided from the beginning because there were still plenty of 4 tops available!

Ultimately, the type of atmosphere experienced left an unwelcoming taste...

I stopped here to grab a quick breakfast. Location was more than convenient, we happen to be staying less than 1 mile from this location. When I arrived, I soon realized there are too many options to just walk up and order. After some careful consideration and great recommendations on how to even mix and match options. I kept it simple simple with the rise and shine over an O Europe. I have to say, I now believe the perfect choice of potato for any plate would be the home style fries. Fair warning, these are dangerously delicious!! They come out seasoned to perfection. The height of the meal was the waffle, I prepared myself to indulge in this European style waffle experience. I must say, I am a fan of a waffle that's a little softer than what I had. That being the only thing I can say about this waffle, this waffle didn't disappoint. The flavor was absolutely amazing. The syrup was a perfect blend with the fresh fruit and creme. I will most likely get a different style of waffle next time. This is a start to the discovery of what created a passion for the owners to decided to invest into their love of waffles. I've had nothing but a great experience, I highly recommend you cone by and give it a try!! You just might find yourself a passion for a food like they did. The worst you will get is a new favorite place to come enjoy great food and excellent company.

Explanation for 4 Stars: I want to keep searching for the dish that makes this an all 5 star place...
