Two waitresses
March 23 2024 @ 10:25 got here and was waiting to place an order 2 waitresses Lacey’s and another Ariana both were black!
They just stood there and debated amongst themselves who would take my order but really didn’t want to! This is this best tasting Waffle House with the worst waitresses! I have had trouble with the big one before she got upset because I asked her to give me a top off the top of the stack instead of the one on the bottom where there was clearly dirt!
This is the only Waffle House I come to in Auburn because the food is better here but I have been mistreated by the waitresses here on more than one occasion and it needs to stop! It’s sad when you experience this from people of the same color as you, but they know that anyone else would complain….now I am! Then while she hesitated to take my order she was talking to other customers to meet their needs instead of getting my order!
Desired outcome: Let them know all customers are important not just the white ones my money is green as well and I always leave a tip even though I take it to go!

On all three orders, eggs were extremely overcooked steak was extremely overcooked and dry hash browns were undercooked and greasy and I was completely missing my order of grits. There were approximately four other customers in the establishment and eight employees working which include but are not limited to dish server the line. I witnessed three of the eight employees, standing together conversing in personal conversation while my order was already 25 minutes past its scheduled pick up time. Service was to be desired quality of food was extremely poor and overall experience and wait time very disappointing.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:
- While Waffle House has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 4% of 653 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
- Waffle House protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
- We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Waffle House. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Worst place to work at. Manager Mikell Robinson doesn't give a rats [censored] about his restaurant or his employees. Place is dirty as [censored]. Mild and mildew under the place where you wash the dishes, the tea is never made right, big flakey floaties on top. Customer always complaining how sour it is. Don't ever eat the ham...

Read full review of Waffle HousePoor attitude, rude waitress
My husband and I stopped in at the Waffle House on Winfield Dunn Parkway in Sevierville TN at 5:50pm on [protected] and they had one side of the restaurant shut down. One of the customers that is always there every time we go told us to go ahead and sit where they had chairs crossed so no one could sit there. The lady looked at him really mean. We stood there and the lady never acknowledged us. We needed a seat because the restaurant was full, so we left. We eat there a lot, but we won’t be back. A poor attitude and rudeness is not needed in a Waffle House, and if someone is that miserable, and rude they don’t need to be there. I have been a waitress myself and I know it’s a hard job, but a rude attitude is not going to get you anywhere!

Associate misconduct and mistreatment
I have been a customer of Waffle House for a very long time, and I was saddened when my sister and I where at our (used to be) favorite store (1046 in Pensacola, Florida) at the time and decided we would have to find a new store to frequent due to the actions of 2 of their associates. I have been dwelling on this situation for a few months, and I feel the company should know what is going on in their units, so I decide to report this.
On or about August 12, 2023, my sister and I witnessed 2 associates having a very aggressive argument outside of the store with a man and his dog. One of the associates was grabbing her private parts and screaming at the man to “suck her d — k” and calling this man a “piece of s — t””. The manager made the 2 associates go back inside while stating that her actions were a firing offense, and if she needed to come back into the store.
My sister and I were there last week to see some of our favorite associates (Kim and Nikki) and the associates who were involved in this incident, were still employed and one of them we actually witnessed bullying a server from another shift who was helping out at the time.
After talking to Kim and Nikki about the new situation, they mentioned that this associate has actually been a problem for Kim and Nikki as well.
It’s sad when you love going to a certain store to see your favorites and then having to witness such torment.
After the last incident and see the fill in associate almost in tears, my sister and I felt it was time to say something to someone.
We hope you are listening.
Desired outcome: Someone needs to look into the actions of these associates, and stop them. I just looks bad on the company as a whole.

Bad food. Bugs
We ate at the Waffle House off hwy 65 at exit 46 in TN. The hash browns were too done, the bacon was black in places. My husband never got his waffle. We could see the cook and he over cooked the waffle someone else got. Then as I was paying, I look behind the waitress to the cooking counter and saw a big bug crawling around! That made me sick. The date and time was. 12/29/23 @ 3:30 pm on Friday afternoon. The time before we ate there it was great. But it was around 12 noon.
Desired outcome: Have an inspection of this Waffle House and correct the issue of the bugs. So unsanitary. And teach the cook how to cook food.

The whole meal
12/3/2023. After attending a gospel concert, I wanted Waffle House. Since I visiting the area, I just chose the one closest to me.
It was just me (68) and my 80 year old almost blind friend.
We were at the 2000 E. Irving Blvd, Irving, TX location.
I have always loved Waffle House... pretty good food for a good price. I was SO disappointed at this location. The grits were lumpy and old tasting, the over-easy eggs were served with yolks broken, so unappealing. The hash browns were greasy and the pumpkin Waffle had lumps of something in it that was not good.
I did not complain as our waiter, Anthony, was a little scary. He rolled his eyes when we ordered water to drink, once he served the food, he never came back.
The other staff were arguing... it was a very unpleasant visit. It seems like a systemic problem with local management.
Very disappointed. We are both on limited income. Sad to spend our money and not enjoy it.

#2294
On 10/31/2024, I walked in to #2294 and sat down. Only second's later the waitress, Lailani, began yelling and shouting at the Cook, Tom. She was on the verge of screaming. She went on and on. Not stopping for a moment. After a short time I spoke up and said 'you can't do this in front of customers.' After that she completely ignored me, refused service. And she continued to yell and shout, on and on.
It was the Cook who took my order. He told her several times to take my order. She refused. After he took my order, he told her several times to write up a check/ticket. She refused. She continued her yelling and shouting. Finally I told the Cook to make the meal to go.
She didn't charge me. Still, no check for records. Offered no apology, only cutting sarcasm. The Cook and waitress were the only employees there.
Yesterday I went in and there she was.
Also,
The waitress, Leilani, should be fired.
Service
I have been to the Waffle House on Carmichael Road in Montgomery, Alabama twice and still have not gotten to eat there. The first time we waited 20 minutes and still had not been served or ask what we wanted. Second time we waited 10 minutes for a table to be cleared so we could sit down. When we finally got seated the cook loudly told the server not to take any more orders. We then got up and left.
Correction:
The date of incident was on 10/31/2023.

My email address is [protected]@yahoo.com
Mondy, my friend, and I stopped at your Waffle House after being at Shans hospital all day for apt's. No one was there but us at the time. This was around 4:00 pm. As we entered the building the sun was shining through the front window. We wanted to sit in the back of the restaurant where we would not be in the sun and was told we could not due to the tables being wet. No place mats on the table not even paper ones. No big deal. I expressed the fact I didn't want to be sitting in the sun. The waitress gave me a very unconserned look. My friend suggested we sit at the bar so no fuss was made. We love eating at Waffle House. After setting down and ordering the waitress took our order and proceed to go sweep and clean the bathroom. She left a pile of trash in the middle of the floor to walk through to get to the bathroom. Another couple came in and requested to set in the back boot where no one was at the time and was refused because she was cleaning. They sat at the high bar. Then another couple came in and requested a booth in back where they were refused as well. They left! There was no reason why they should have been told they couldn't sit there. After eating my friend needed to go the the bathroom and was refused entrance to the bathroom. Waitress said floor was wet. My friend said she needed to go to the bath room and the waitress stepped toward her blocking her way pasted as to physically stop her from going to the bathroom. The cook told her to step around the waitress and go ahead it was about to get heated. I stood up and told her she was being rud we were paying customers and had every right to go to the bathroom. The floor was not wet. The man cooking told her to go ahead and I asked to speak to the manager Heather. She apoliged for the waitresses behaver, said she would talk to her. The manager handled her end very well. She just didn't come as soon as she was called. It took her about 5 or 10 min to get out in front where she have come as soon as she heard what was going on. I asked for coprerates phone number. This young waitress will cost you money in the long run and was very rude to your customers. She should be fired because if she had touched my friend it would be a different outcome today. We spent spent 27.00 dollars but it wouldn't have mattered if we had spent 2.70 cents word of mouth travels far. Have you read your review lately? Our visit is on film at the resturant. I am sure this is a waste of time.
Claimed loss: Two less customer
Desired outcome: Waitress should be fired.
Service
I was sitting at waffle house and the customer to the left and right of me and I were discussing politics. A manager intervened and said if we continue to discuss politics that we would be thrown out due to Waffle House policy. My question-- is that true that I am not allowed to discuss politics --per Waffle House policy and if I do would I be thrown out ?
