I'm complaining about services at one of your locations
Hi my name is Theare. I recently visited one of your location on Tara Boulevard and Old Dixie in Jonesboro Georgia. The time was about 2am or so and when I pulled up the doors was locked to the location. However I see a worker on the inside talking to someone at a window on the side of the building. I go on the side of the building and I see they have it...
Read full review of Waffle HouseMistaken identity
On April 6,2023 myself and 3 other ladies drove to the Waffle House to eat breakfast around 11am. No tables were cleaned so we sat in the chairs by the door. After 30 minutes or more of waiting the manager came over to us to tell us 1 or 2 people in our party was told not to come back to Waffle House again which wasn't true. The manager then told us he could not serve us and we had to leave. We got up and left. One lady with us is disabled and she is having a hard time dealing with this Incident. As well as the other ladies in the group. We were disrespected and humiliated by all this. None of us have ever been asked to leave any establishment.
Desired outcome: A verbal and written apology
Service
Today 04/09/2033, I went to order a Togo coffee and ask the manager to ask his server, Jae/Jay, if she could please not return to my restaurant next door, Buffalo Wild Wings. The server, Jae, who was very rude to begin when she was in my restaurant, proceeded to yell across the restaurant call me a “[censored]” though there were no words exchanged between her and I at the time. After leaving the restaurant, the UM was notified of what had happened.
Desired outcome: Considering I was a server at waffle house for the past 12 years, she needs to be terminated as a server that type of behavior and name-calling should not be tolerated.
Patty melt
Upon first walking into the restaurant every table was just about full of dirty dishes. One other table beside ours was occupied. We ordered our food I ordered a patty melt plate and an ice tea. Their other person ordered a hamburger and root beer. My toast bacon and burgers were burnt. I sent them back. I got my order back it was done so I could eat. We never got asked to get our drinks refilled or if our food was good.

I am parent of employee that works at store.. My daughter is a minor and was sent home seven days on suspension.. No paper work was giving nor really reason. I will definitely be in touch with head office. Store manager wouldn't give reason nor speak with me and called district manager to store to speak with me and he had little to any knowledge what was going on. Employees that was there in store was very rude and could tell they new more than my child did about her suspension.. My child is a minor and plenty days are left in store after hours and should not. Plus plenty unlawful actives are taking place at location
Desired outcome: Waiting to speak to head office

Waffle House meal
Arrived on March 28 at the Florissant location and first and foremost, one employee asked another are we accepting sit in orders? The employee resolved back very loudly HELL NO.. Oh my.. (clutching my pearls) I politely spoke up and said I’m only sitting here waiting to order. I don’t plan to eat inside. Meanwhile when u call WH, they don’t answer and the...

My wife and I both were working for wake house on Louisville KY, and at the time of being hired we're comments...( Only became ginger's because my child support order wasn't resubmitted even the company we've from franchise to corporate...

And I still have the text messages between us... Even I finally got a text from district he said we were fired for the suspected drug use and asked if we would address to a drug test... We said of course... After no reply I asked him what was up where should we go for this... Then he says we were fired for walking out... No we were told to leave by the authorities...

No money shortages good cost brought down...I love wake house it's been like a give and to be out on the do not rehire list bring my heart.
Desired outcome: I would love our jobs back
Being banned
This happened about three months ago. My husband was trying to get the attention of a waitress at our local Waffle House to get a cup of coffee. It was not busy. He asked a few times and she didn’t say anything so he asked a little louder. She told him he didn’t need to be rude and he said you didn’t need to be a b****. Yes he was way out of line. He realized this and told the manager he would like to apologize and he said not now because she was upset. The manager talked to the other people that were there to get their story and it was the same as my husbands. He said it but said it in a normal voice and was not threatening. The manager said that after talking to everyone he would just not have her serve him. Ok. That seemed fair. A week later my husband apologized to her in person and she basically told him she doesn’t want to hear it. A week later he was banned from our local Waffle House we have been frequenting for 10 years with no issues. People from corporate are the ones that banned him. They said they were going to investigate. The other manager already did that. Corporate people have not said a work in over three months. We just think it is a bit over the top to ban him from one issue he admired he was wrong and apologized for after never having a problem before.
Desired outcome: Ban being lifted
Service
Monday, March 20, 2023, My wife and stopped at the Waffle House in Greenville, Al at 9:00 pm. We were not greeted or acknowledged in any way upon entering. We sat in a booth while employees chatted with each other and one appeared to be washing dishes. After 10 minutes without being acknowledged, we left.
Will not return to this location again. We have never had this problem at any other Waffle House we choose to eat at.
Rude and maltreatment
I visited the Waffle House by the Airport at about 8:30am on 3/12/23 I proceeded to place my order the employee Kat was very rude to me she gave me a really rude look like I had [censored] on my face then I proceeded to ask for someone else to take my order well this lady that was cooking all of a sudden turned around and said no, so I said I want to speak to the manager she says I am the manager I said I didn’t want the other lady to take my order and the manager said you don’t have to eat here all rude like, her name was Jenny well I notice a man standing beside me giving an interview and asked her who he was she say the area manager he turned around and asked what was going on I told him that they were being rude to me so he told the other young lady who was really nice to take my order she was a black lady very very nice but Kat and Jenny were very very rude and I felt discriminated against I live in that area and everytime I go in there those two are the only ones that have a very rude attitude so from this point on I won’t be eating at that particular Wafflehouse if they are in there someone really needs to address there attitudes thank u.
Desired outcome: The area manager was very nice in handling the situation thank God he was there.
Eggs way overcooked, meats way overcooked, hash browns burnt
I called into it to go order. When I arrived, there were two managers cooking on the grill. They already had my meal bagged up and ready to go. When I got home to eat my meal with my wife, we saw, and realized that our eggs were way over cooked we asked for over easy and over medium and got extra well done the hashbrowns were so thin and burnt. I couldn’t even hardly eat them and the meats were so cooked that they were crumbling as he tried to eat them. I am very very disappointed in this restaurant the manager should know how to cook that is really embarrassing that a manager cannot even cook a decent meal. Instead she was more worried about talking on her earbud to whoever it was she was talking to her assistant was all for cooking, and did the same thing. Did not care about the quality of the food. I will request my money back because I will not pay for something in this day and age as nasty as this food is I hope you don’t go to store 201 because that’s where it happened. Also, there was no silverware or napkins in the bag with the food. the employees were very friendly and everything appeared to be good until I looked at the food. I will never step foot in that store again. You can contact me via telephone at [protected]. My name is Marty Moss. I can’t get over how your managers would cook food like this I would be embarrassed to take credit for this kind of cooking, embarrassing, embarrassing embarrassing to the company. Then when I tried to call them to tell them, I was just satisfied they conveniently transferred me through to voicemail so that they did not have to talk to me. I am so upset right now you cannot even begin to imagine how I’m feeling they both need to be fired because if they can’t cook, they don’t need to be in the restaurant business.
Desired outcome: I expect a full refund of $33 and a replacement of the food I figure that’s the least you can do and I would like it from a different store. Not from store 201.
Service Chester sc
This is not the first time. But we go to come in and they say we have to wait for shift change. Have to sit in car for 15 minutes while we wait to come in date is 3/4/23 was 9:15 said will reopen 9:30, it’s just a inconvenience more that anything we could come sit down and get out drinks at least. It took 12 minutes to get our drinks so we could have at least been able to come in and get our drinks.
Desired outcome: They need to let people come in just crap to have to site outside
The whole store
So I went her to fi d out the waitress closed the dining room at 7pm. The waitress had a bucket in the counter so she could make tips for online order tips. Unknowingly they automatically add 20%.

Not wash it an start making waffles for someone. Than while sitting their the same waitress scared her head the scratched the inside of her ear guess what she didn't wash her hands again an she started making bacon.there was dirt all over the tables an dirty dishes where customers were waiting their to go.than I was charg3d 65.41on my credit catf am I payed cash
Desired outcome: I want me damn money back I didn't even take my food after that.an I want this girl remand
The whole situation of our eating experience
On 02/20/2023 We stopped at waffle house to grab a bite before heading home. This is what both kids wanted. We sat down as usual, looked around and no other customers were inside, besides the cook, a lady in back, that left before we did. Waitress with a name tag that said Orika (she hid the tag with her hand as I was trying to look at it) I asked when we sat down if I could have a rag for the table, that was filthy and she replied "you need to find another table" We moved to another table and cleaned the best we could and finally she walked up and said I hope you know what you want. I repeated in fact we do, thinking this should be simple for I asked before we went inside, so I would be ready. I asked for a cup of coffee while we waited and said I wanted a coke, a sweet tea, and some chocolate milk. Her reply back to the kids was "I think you meant white milk" I was ok, wow, we have a lady with an attitude or she has problems we just need to overlook. I ordered a hamburger plate with hashbrowns in a ring, and also ordered a waffle for the two girls, a side order of sausage, and a bowl of cheese grits. We received the sausage and nothing else. Later a guy assuming the cook, came out the back and put on a dance show for the girls and cranked the juke box wide open. Still no food. Finally I asked for food and was thrown a bowl of grits and 1 waffle. I asked for cheese for the grits and she threw it like a frisbee and landed on side of bowl. I asked about my meal and the cook said sorry I was in the back (he was very nice thou) This is how my burger came out, I had to ask for pickles and mayo, plus butter for grits for they were hard by then. Well we decided to try to share, knowing still missing waffle and no utensils. By this time they all were at the other end laughing (2 other employee's came in by then). I got up and asked for utensils and the other missing waffle. They said they burnt the 1st one, and cook said he forgot about 2nd one and they tried again. Finally the cook came back over with a piece of something and said that was the best he could do, and apologized. I got up and asked for ticket and told the girls we would stop somewhere else. She finally got up and thru a green pen on counter and said have a good day and laughed. The only reason I tipped her was because I didn't wanted my girls 6, and 10 to think they should not respond to her actions in a bad way. Now please tell me what I did wrong and I will never expect any different. This was 3 innocent people that was there, my granddaughter had just lost her dad and I was trying to show them a good time. Addelyn exact words to me was "Noni, why were you so nice and she was so mean to us" We didn't deserve it and I'm ashamed I paid $40 for it and if I would have known really I would not have got hurt, etc. I would have sent the girls to the car and dealt with it. Thanks for listening, I would want to know if that was my business. I'll pray no one else has to deal with a stop at the waffle house like WE did.
Desired outcome: What would you do? Yes I would love a refund, to take them to another Waffle House for a better experience, but that is not my point.
Service dog refusal
I went to the Waffle House in Jackson TN 24 Casey Jones Lane Jackson, TN 38305 At approximately 3-4 pm with my Service Dog Coco who was wearing his Service Dog vest so he was readily identified as a Service Dog. When I entered hi was told I couldn’t bring a dog in the restaurant by a Black Employee. I told her that he was my Service Dog and she said you...

I live at 122 Nursery Rd, Gaffney, SC. I have a Waffle House in my front yard. My driveway ends at the Waffle House parking lot... This small area is also shared with an entrance to a Subway. Your employees have always been so polite, if there are any folks in the parking lot as I leave to go to my job at the local hospital, I wave and go on! This morning...
Read full review of Waffle HouseThe entire experience from beginning to end
I attempted to call to place an order via telephone but they were not taking phone calls. I drove the 15mins to order. When I walked in, there were THREE employees total working on a Sunday night. My family does "Waffle Sundays" so we have figured out the average busy vs calm time to go. I was pretty annoyed once I arrived because the phone was ringing and they were picking up the phone & hanging it up; they eventually took the whole battery supply out of the phone. A lady (1 of the 3 employees present) asked me what I needed. When I responded "to place an order" she completely lost interest in me. A guy running around making sure orders were complete etc is the one that ended up helping me. It should be noted that there was ONE table; ONE small family at the booth, one couple waiting on a go order, and now me. The female employee was screaming at the guy helping me, saying "STOP RUSHING ME!" and plenty other very unprofessional statements.
The little guy finally came to take my order (we're loyal customers so I already knew what I needed), I started "an all-star (scrambled), bacon, hashbrown. my next order was a chicken hashbrown bowl, He says"we're out of hasbrowns"... which totally ruined it for me but whatever. I end up settling for 2 waffles (that I still somehow paid $5 for even though one was supposed to be free). Start to finish, I was there at least 40 minutes listening to the staff argue. This is an issue that NEEDS to be addressed! The last time we went, they said they didn't have waffles. It's getting worse and worse. Also, I was asked to scan a code for a free waffle and still paid $6 for a waffle (the other was supposed to be free)
Desired outcome: Of course the desired outcome would have been to order and served without issue. What I think may help the situation is a company educational training on customer service and what the company goals are. They clearly are not abiding by that
Additional training or mask up…
Today I visited the Waffle House in Ladson, off of College Park Road. Several signs were posted stating “Cash Only”. One of the servers said the card reader wasn’t working, but there was an ATM next door. My wife was seated as I went next door for cash. Upon my return, I observed several employees behind the counter, but one older lady needs to be...
Read full review of Waffle HouseHash brown bowl
Wednesday January 25th at 11:30 p.m. at the sharonville reading road location, I placed an order for a hash brown bowl with sausage egg and cheese and a slam order and hash browns with it and they were supposed to be smothered and covered and it had a blob of cheese in the middle and they were barely even cooked warm. The hash brown bowl with sausage egg and cheese turned out to be when I got home a bacon egg and cheese and it was supposed to have gravy on it which I paid for extra gravy and there was no gravy on it.
Desired outcome: I would like a refund for a credit that I can use for a different location
