Waffle House — Restaurant in Roanoke Rapids

I was in this area for the first time. Waffle house is my go-to anywhere I go. First off, the junkies greeted us at the door. They greeted us, but the employees didn't. Gloomy lighting should have walked out, but it's my spot The server male was great! (UNTIL) The silverware which he was just wiping off when we walked in was still dirty. plastic ware, please The server was quick with drink orders and food orders. my nephew wasn't ready he gave us a few and came back. Now to the UNTIL! He starts bringing food and tells us one waffle we are waiting on a waffle. 2 waffle makers down cool. 9 mins later, I received a lukewarm waffle. *cool eggs ONLY THING HOT! The grits were ABSOLUTELY FRIDGE COLD, with a piece of cheese slapped on top. It was brought to his attention, he walked away, it was brought to his attention again he said the steamer table was down and they didn't know and walked off again. We did order nephews, another meal , growing atheletic King Now I'm ill No offer to replace the grits with something else, nothing. I digressed Here's the part that made me get ready to shake the table. didn't, I had my nephew, I had to lead by example he's 14 the server goes to the cook and say and I quote mother ears kick in I don't know why people go to places and complain, it's embarrassing.... Mister, sir, first and second and third. If I'm spending my hard earned money on what I want, I expect it to be right as he would himself. When we ordered the last meal, grits were with it also, then I asked if we could get something to replace the cold grits he said, hash browns cool. Nephew, satisfied, TT is too! So I go to pay, thinking somewhere in the mix of the cold grits and his smart remark he would offer a discount on the 2 meals or something NOPE! $60 Later, a smart comment, cold grits, 1 refill for 1 person, no replacement side, dirty silverware, and poor hospitality.... I will go get swings from sheetz next trip. -2 out 5 I don't recommend don't go! To leave and see, it was another one a block up the road. The...

This is just a terrible place. We went there early morning and there were only two other clients sitting at one table. Still, we waited a while because the waitress didn't feel like or didn't want to serve us. A cook had to tell her.

We placed our order, waffles and eggs/bacon, and waited a long time. You see, a cook and our waitress were on bad terms so they chose to make us, the customers, pay for it. The waitress then finally came to see us and exposed the situation, telling us that if need be, she would call the manager. Now, in case some of you think I am fabulating. I am not. This is a true story.

So after a while, the waitress nonchalantly started to make the waffle. A cook finished it and it was sitting there for a while until the waitress finally decided to bring it over. Of course, the eggs weren't ready; in fact, they were still in their shells.

So my wife was served an undercooked waffle and I was waiting for my eggs. Finally, another cook started working on my eggs and the waitress brought them to me; also undercooked, pretty disgusting.

At some point, another waiter sitting at a table yelled at the clients of the other table, asking them if everything was okay. I tell you, super service.

This place was so terrible that I looked around thinking I might be on...

I haven’t been to a Waffle House in over 5 years and was pleasantly surprised to see our server wearing a button promoting Hootie & the Blowfish’s new album. However, when I brought up Darius Rucker and his band’s impressive breakout album Cracked Rearview our server was oblivious to their iconic country-tinged rock sound. She had never heard “I Only a Wanna Be With You”! Heck, even Miami Dolphin’s QB Dan Marino appeared in that song’s music video - it’s a classic of the 90s!

I really think Waffle House should incorporate some Hootie knowledge into their training for employees if they are going to be promoting the new album. I mean, come on, a cursory knowledge of at least the band’s basic discography isn’t too much to expect since they only released five albums prior to this year (and let’s be honest, the two from the 2000s are forgettable even for diehard Blowfishers).

So while the waffles were deliciously crisp, the coffee smooth and pipping hot, and the hashbrowns has the perfectly amount of jalapeños mixed in, I have no choice but to dock one star from my review of this breakfast visit. I just wanted to have a conversation about Hootie with my server at the Waffle House and in that regard, I was sorely disappointed. You can...
