We went after the Nine Inch Nails concert for late night food, not expecting anything fabulous. Our waitress was so nice! She cooked the food too, and it was all very fast! I wish I had asked her name, but it was just now, like midnight on 5/6. She has locs. That was a better than expected experience and the food was perfect. The service was great. Wow Waffle House, you get 5 stars. There were no fights. This is a safe location.

During a recent stopover on our way to NC, my fiancé and I had the pleasure of dining at Waffle House #2325. While the food was certainly enjoyable, it was the outstanding service provided by our waitress, Dinah, that truly made our experience stand out. Despite being busy with multiple tables, Dinah took the time to engage in genuine conversation with us, sharing stories about her dog Gemma and listening intently as we shared about our own pet, Jax. Her kindness, warmth, and attentiveness were a breath of fresh air, especially on a day when we were feeling overwhelmed with our move. Dinah's exceptional service not only improved our meal but also lifted our spirits, reminding us that sometimes it's the people serving the food who can have the most profound impact on our well-being. Don't get me wrong, waffles are good for the soul but so is human connection. We are grateful for her hospitality and would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to Dinah for turning a challenging day into a positive one.

The cook/chef Ronald and the server Austin were two of the most professional, and hard working team members I’ve encountered in a long time. Austin was stacked with tables and Ronald was whipping out food and even helping where he could with the tables. This is a dynamic duo and they deserve recognition for their great teamwork! Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!

All I can say is this location has amazing staff and cooks. Whenever we are traveling, the Waffle House is our staple breakfast stop. This location is by far the best! My blueberry waffles and over-medium eggs were cooked to perfection!

We dropped in on this Waffle House location along Hwy 210 late at night after traveling. We had 2 All Star Specials. The eggs, the waffle, the hash browns, and bacon were made according to our specific requests. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Watching the cook you can tell he took great pride in his work. The atmosphere was pretty chill and clean. The prices at Waffle House have definitely risen, but considering we had just returned from California the price was comparatively reasonable. The restrooms were clean. The parking was adequate. Overall I would say this Waffle House location is above average in the chain. We will return.
