Our anticipation had been building for a solid two weeks. I was chaperoning three young ballet dancers for a summer intensive program. Everyday we drove by The Waffle House to and from the studio. Every day they described the waffles, the perfectly cooked eggs, and the great prices. Everyday we got up early and danced all day. Ballet is physically taxing and even these young kids were not interested in the usual evening activities I'd planned, just in case. We all returned to our rented housing to sleep and sleep and sleep. Then get up again the next day, drive by the now mythically wonderful Waffle House, and do another 6 to 8 hours of ballet. Finally. FINALLY. On the day of their flight home, we did not have to yank ourselves out of bed and rush to ballet class. We slept nice and late. Till about 10:30. At 11:30 there was a general glance around the room. Finally, someone said it. Waffle House. WAFFLE. HOUSE. Those kids had never moved so fast. I'm sure the waffles are normally very, very good. After two weeks of build up, our waffles were.... Exquisite. Heavenly. God-Made Holy fricka tasty. Do people still say in fleak? Because these waffles were half way around the world before fleak got it's underpants on right way around. I have NEVER seen three people enjoy food so much. I don't think I have enjoyed a hash brown so much. And my wallet hardly made a comment. Usually for that amount of food my poor little credit card would be sqealing in agony, blubbering about all the work hours and late-paid bills needed to cover a feast. Not today. Not at Waffle House. Our exquisite, heavenly God-Made way-past-fleak meal was less than a tenner per very anticipatory stomach. Even with the upgrade to giant hash browns and with chocolate chips added to the waffles. You might not have the same experience. You might not be able to get the build up created by two weeks of ballet and drive by Waffle House sightings. But you might not need it. . . . .
. PS. Our server was amazing. The place was sparkly clean, and we didn't have to wait more than three minutes despite the nearly noon day rush. Thank you,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreEaster morning we headed to this Waffle House. It was 10 of us. As we are entering the older lady that welcomes people in was asking how many we were and I said 10 but she was so hardheaded and after so many times us telling her it was a party of 10, she said well youāll have to wait and told us to back up so many times that we ended at the entrance blocking the doors and people wanted to come in so my dad asked if she was sending us outside and she said yes. Keep in mind there wasnāt people waiting inside so the chairs were empty and the barstools were empty too. We told her 5 of us wouldnāt mind sitting there but she just ignored us and sent us outside. Weāre waiting and she comes out and says āSo how many are y'all really?ā My dad, my brothers and I all said āweāre 10!ā And she had the nerves to say āare you sure cause it looks like 20ā. I found that comment so offensive, yeah weāre Hispanics but after telling her so many times we were a party of 10 and her not paying attention was so aggravating. She then said that 5-6 could come in and sit on the chairs, my brother friend told her heāll just wait outside with my brothers but she forced him to go inside so eventually he did. At that point I was already so frustrated and just wanted to walk out because she was treating us so bad. Two tables were finally free so she said that those were our tables and told two of us to bring a chair because we were going to sit on the end. It was unnecessary for 5 of us on each table when there was 5 barstools available. Our waitress on the other hand was so polite and friendly so thanks to her we felt good and just be able to enjoy our food which...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is one of the best Waffle House in Wilmington. The staff is very kind and and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience. I was there several times for the hurricane and they held it together awesome. The cook with the dreads is awesome and takes the time to explain the Waffle House way of got ng things. The wait staff I'd awesome as well. I even think some are related and really work together nicely. The other day there was an incident where this couple had an issue with their food. Instead of complaining or mentioning the problem up front about missing food, they waited until the end to bitxh about this and that. The food missing was cooked just not delivered. So instead of asking for it right away, they ate what the had and wanted a discount. Who does that, obviously these little boys who were newly in love and instead of being mature , acted as if it was a 5star reastraunt and wanted a compm they made the waitress cry but I'm pretty sure she would have sought Street justice if not at work. I almost said something to those little turd burgurlers, but didn't. Their actions spoke loud and clear. To make a short story long, this place rocks and I will continue to eat there with my daughter and yummy to my tummy!!!...
