Waffle House #1007

Fuck them. Waited an hour and they wouldn’t serve us.

My parents wanted cheap breakfast. So here we were. A dirty diner. I haven’t been to a Waffle House in years, and now I remember why. Not only is their food cheap and low grade, but they don’t even offer standard breakfast items like french toast or pancakes – only their thin, soggy waffles. My eggs weren’t bad, as long as I didn’t watch them being made. Ick.

So its Sunday at 1:35AM and after working for over 18 hours I’m driving home and decide to call this location and make a to go order. I go on maps and type waffle house and this location comes up with a phone number and address, I make the call and the lady who answers asks me if i know which location I’m calling. I respond yes the one on roswell road and she says «yeah there are 3 on roswell road» so i tell her yes I’m obviously calling the right because i pulled the phone number from my GPS. The lady responds «DON’T BE A SMART ASS»… How can anyone with any sense of technology and costumer service or even some common sense tell a costumer to not be a smart ass 20 seconds into the call. Obviously i went off on her and she said «Well now you ain’t gettin not no food no mo» and hanged the phone on me.

Tay and Karen were the best. Had never been to Atlanta and they recommended the best things on the menu. Clean and very friendly, definitely would recommend!

I tend to have Waffle House after a long night of drinking and sometimes for a cheap fast lunch while at work. This location is awful for many different reasons. I don’t expect for my Waffle Houses to be a fine dining experience but I still have decent expectations. The staff that I have encountered at this location make it seem like as if I am a burden to them. My last and final trip to this location was today.
We came in for a late lunch around 3:30 and it took easily 10 minutes to just get a drink. There were no more than 3 others in the restaurant. Our waitress was emotionally cold towards us and never once cracked a smile. She seemed as if an she was an unhappy lost zombie. It took 35 minutes to get my food. 35 minutes to get food at a Waffle House where there are only 5 people present is pretty darn insane. My order was wrong and that was the last straw. I left and will never be going back to that location.
This review is for this location. I love Waffle House and would recommend the cheap and decently fresh food to anyone. Just don’t go to this Roswell road location. They are truly terrible.

If you are in the Buckhead area, this is the waffle house to go to. The staff is friendly and the service is always quick. The place is packed on the weekend mornings so either get there early or just wait and go get brunch. You can’t go wrong with the breakfast all-​star special.

I actually really like Waffle Houses in general. It’s dirt cheap, their food is reasonably fresh, and it’s possible to eat somewhat healthily if you order carefully.
This location was crowded in typical after-​church in Buckhead hour, even though it was post-​early service that we arrived. The hour made the people watching truly excellent — a combination of Buckhead Betty types with precocious children, hungover 20 somethings, and well, us. Though there was a short wait, they had an employee greeting people at the door, providing the wait time, and offering complimentary coffee they had on a hot plate by the «waiting area» (some chairs by the windows).
While the cleanliness and food preparation at this location did not come close to my favorite WaHos in Atlanta (the ones on the GT and GSU campuses), it was perfectly serviceable. I even learned a new cheapskate tip from my +1: don’t order peppers and onions on your hasbrowns, because you can get salsa as a condiment FOR FREE which is basically the same thing, saving yourself $.80. Boom.

I’ll admit it. I am a fan of Waffle House.
I know what I’m going to get when I walk through the doors. There are no illusions or expectations of anything else. It’s uncomplicated. There’s ample selection. It’s filling. It’s clean (enough) — don’t look too closely.
The staff is there to get a job done — that’s to get you fed and on your way. Lingering isn’t encouraged and is unnecessary. If you’re a regular. They’ll ask if you’d like.. . «xxxxx» If not, ordering is simple: your drink order first and if you know what you want to eat tell ‘em them and get the process going.
Now watch as your server calls your meal request into the cook and line staff. The flat top is buzzing with activity and your server is right in their. Gathering your drink. Plating your order, prepping a waffle, refilling drinks. It’s fun to walk and learn. Hint the jelly packets cue up the toast orders (whole wheat = wheat toast; apple = raisin toast).
Their iced tea is the real reason I keep coming back for more. Ask for a to-​go cup when you order and a refill on your way out the door.
I’m a basic gal here: two eggs scrambled, hash browns and toast. If I’m there with hubby we split a waffle.
If I’ve had a serious workout (in the past week ;-)) I order a waffle w/​two scrambled eggs.
It’s really simple. yummy and gets me back on the road, home from the gym or. .. .

Though I have never experienced stellar service here and I have never felt that their food surpassed that which was served at other Waffle House locations, I just cannot rate this location less than two stars. I mean, when you go into a Waffle House you can expect to be ignored (or seemingly ignored), your order to be a little confused at times and your food to be fairly lackluster. This being said, the conveniently-​accessible location on the Buckhead end of Roswell Road is no exception to the rule. I have never been in here when the place was empty, so it seems like they stay steadily busy, but I wish their staffing would reflect this so that my father and I would not feel ignored for as long as ten minutes when we are hungry and trying to place an order. We have definitely had to relocate to attract and grab the attention of the staff and recently even had to leave early because some particularly annoying and super loud music began playing on the jukebox. You see, my father is 71 and claims that he cannot hear like he used to and I refuse to lose my hearing on account of over-​loud, rudely-​blasting Taylor Swift bops… so we had to go.
I ordered a burger and hash browns for breakfast the last time my dad drove up to the area for some business and my dad, as always, ordered a ham and cheese omelet. Just like every visit, I relied on cheese, tabasco, salsa and copious amounts of salt to perfect my potatoes and I had to ask for a bottle of salsa, since none was in the caddy on our table. Instead of rummaging through their own stash of condiments and extras, our waitress just walked to the guests next to us, reached over them and took the salsa right from their table without asking or even a word. I was shocked and a little embarrassed. Anyhow, I may be back if I have to go but I hope that my visits will remain few and far between. Despite the fact that most of the staff is friendly and nice, it just seems like something is missing and it really takes away from my time there.

I’ve been eating at Waffle House my entire life, and this morning one of the less enjoyable experiences. The waitress was friendly, but didn’t seem to have it all together. Understandable — we all have an off day. Asked for Sprite, got water. Ordered hashbrowns extra crispy, they were soggy. Had to get a new waffle because the one placed in front of me was literally uncooked. And I noticed other customers were having issues with service and food quality as well. I get it, I’m writing a review about Waffle House, but I still feel like you should be able to go into any resaturant and have decent food. This place is close to where I live, but I’ll probably be eating at a different location from now on.

Average all the way around.
Not the best Waffle House I’ve been too, but not the worst.
If you are looking for a simple place with simple cheap food. Come here. If you want something more elegant, go to IHOP or Denny’s.

I only go here for coffee if i have to work an early shift and the Dunkin Donuts isn’t open yet. occasionally i’ll get an order of hasbrowns. Sadly, i feel this doesn’t give me the prowess to properly rate this particular waffle house. but if i had to guess… i’d think it was like all the others.

This place is horrible!!! I would rate it a big fat zero. I came here 5 years ago and I still have nightmares. I ordered the grilled chicken and grits and wish I had not even stepped in the building. I knew something was wrong from the minute I walked in but my friend really wanted to eat here. I only ate half of my meal and as soon as I got to my hotel across the street I headed for the restroom. I had the worst food poisoning ever and I’m surprised I didnt go to the hospital, I had a high fever and spent the whole week in the restroom. What a way to ruin a trip!

Wa-​Ho-​Horrible
Worst Waffle House in town.
37 minutes for our to go order last night/​this morning. And, no, they were not *that* busy; and I’ve seen me some busy at Waffle Houses over the years.
Rudest two lady servers I’ve ever encountered at any location. They were rude to me — and to each other.
They messed up half of our order.
The only thing that was good about this visit was that, if I’d needed it, there were about six cabs in the parking lot outside — possibly waiting to take anyone fleeing in horror.

Judging from the perspective of someone who likes good food and does not eat «just to get full», this place sucked!
Ugh…everything was pre-​packaged and/​or mediocre at best. I suppose this kinda thing flies when you are in the South. This kinda crap would not go over well in California — except for in the malnourished poor ghettos.
TRAGIC…

not sure if this is the same waffle house the cab driver (s) took us to. Well about 14 of us went there… It was super greasy … low quality … gave us stomach aches… felt like shit the next day… but it was perfect 4 am in the morning!!! Yum… perfect to soak up all the booze!!!

I like Waffle House because they rarely clean. By reducing unnecessary overhead, they help keep costs low. Want another example? They tend to not hire employees with teeth. This reduces dental insurance premiums. It is that kind of attention to costs that I can take to the bank in these tough economic times.
I also like their effective utilization of technology. Armed with merely a ball point pen and a pad of paper, my order is taken, often without error at all. In all seriousness, their system of meal fulfillment is remarkable. Next time you go, get a seat at the bar and watch while it happens. Orders are written in some sort of shorthand hieroglyphs. They are then barked out to the cooks who don’t write anything down. They arrange plates and ingredients in such a way to remember what they are cooking. And even though half their employees are knuckle dragging meth addicts, they manage to pull this off with minimal errors. Simply amazing. Whoever came up with this system should be a billionaire. Missing are complicated order processing systems, touch screen point of sale and inventory control software, etc. We’re talking century old technology here. As a matter of fact, they just started taking credit cards a few years ago. They are still working out the kinks with the 1970’s credit card stuff though. If Peggy Sue the waitress is on the phone with her babbydaddy, then you’ll have to wait for your credit card transaction to go through.
I shouldn’t be mean about the employees. They are all nice and friendly folks. Missing a few chromosomes? Yeah probably but who isn’t. If you go, stick to the breakfast items. Everything else pretty much gives me the heebie jeebies. The chocolate pie is very tasty, especially for a dollar. And I’ve only seen a cockroach there once, honest.

I LOVE Wafflehouse!!! Giant waffles, hasbrowns done all the way, country ham, and sweet tea. Now that’s a breakfast! The Brookhaven Waffle House is my personal favorite.

Waffle House is one of the only places you’ll find club goers and real southerners. I’m a transplant who lives in Atlanta, but I’m from another state. This review is especially for all the new residents of Georgia from the northeast and westcoast. Welcome to Atlanta, now go to Waffle House. I’ve had my fair share of experiences at Waffle House from dirty silverware, to customers fighting waiters and waitresses, to the extremely air conditioning being on in the spring, fall and winter to horrible customer service. Yes, some locations can be gutter bucket and awful, but others are pretty decent with good service.
Of course you can’t go to the Waffle House without getting a waffle. If you order eggs, you automatically get grits and toast. If you get a waffle and eggs be careful because the table will be packed in solid. For some reason strange reason unknown to the rest of the world, Waffle House serves everything on large plates. Good Luck if you’re at a booth with 3 or more people because you will fight for table room.
Waffle House is all over the metro area. For information regarding other locations visit
