Me and my husband visited the Waffle House in Stone Mountain Ga on 4737 Redan road @approximately 1:15 am on Friday mornings 05/07/21 before entering we were approached by a car with an Waffle house employee in it stating that this Waffle house was closed. No reason was mentioned why.

This is bad customer service skills and Waffle house is 24 hours so why are they saying they closed.. This needs to be addressed please because now we have to drive out the way to get something to eat when I know they were open they just didn't want to serve any one.

When I walked in place my to go order my server was very annoyed by me she rolled her eyes at me then to get home and find that I have a hair in my food I don't want them to remake my food I don't feel comfortable with that. The food was terrible and very poorly made.

This very bad for me considering waffle house is my favourite restaurant to eat at. The service was terrible and so was the food. I did not eat the food and I dont plan on it.

I was at Walker Waffle house. A waitress was so high, according to her, she shoots up heroin when she comes in but she has someone named Butter or Butters that will never allow her to be fired. She fell over and spilled silverware everywhere, couldn't finish a sentence, and several customers were walking out or videoing her.

Its real sad when your help is talking like that and can't even stand up and bragging about being fired 20 times and that it's okay to shoot up at work.

C.. Been in there 2 times this week both times dirty floor a mess table half wiped off. Cook can only take one person's order at a time. Meaning he can't work on multiple orders for the same table. One guy working there is completely lost. Needs to be gone.

The last time there only 5 customers in there and it took 10 minutes to get a tea.. This one needs some corporate attention.

I have visited the Waffle House on Tara Blvd in Jonesboro Georgia. 8765 Tara Blvd multiples times and it’s the same story. Particularly on May 2nd 2021 @ 7:30. They were not open because there were no cooks available. This has happened on several occasions.

It isn’t good business practice and doesn’t serve the reputation of Waffle House well. Thank you. com

Absolutely Horrible, food, service, dirty restaurant! Odered my eggs, 4 times, still could not get Right! Then I was told they do not do over hard eggs, REALLY? That was with manager cooking! Then I got charged separately for each item, rather than removing eggs. What is up? We won't be back!

This manager, is the worst ever, an got rid of all the good employees. I don't appreciate being charged more than the actual breakfast! Ask Black Bear, what my reviews did yo them, it wasn't good! I would give 0 stars, but no option for that.

Huber Heights Ohio branch on Brandt Pike refuses to take call in orders, or to accept yo go orders in person between midnight and 5 am. Several times a month we try to place to go orders for the people on third shift at our hospital.

There are never more than 4 or 5 people inside. And they turn customers away saying they are to backed up on orders. Really??

Walked into the Waffle House in Vandalia, Ohio there were three tables of patrons already in there. As soon as I walked in I was told they were NOT taking any orders at this time. So I drove on down the road to next Waffle House location I knew of, just to find it completely closed. Just don't understand!!

I live across the street from Waffle House @ 6133 Fairburn Rd, Douglasville, GA 30134 and this morning at about 2:30am I decided to grab an early breakfast. I went into the Waffle House and was greeted with the statement that there was a 7 hour wait for service.

But because I was tired and hungry I decided to ignore the probable poor attempt at humor and grabbed one of the open seats at the front counter. Some more guests came in and taken some of the other seats next to me.

My problem is that I never once was asked was I ready to order meanwhile some other guests put in their order directly to the cook in essence jumping the line while I was waiting patiently to be served. At 2:44am I decided that rather than wait I'll go try the other Waffle House @ 2111 Hwy 92, Douglasville, GA 30135…

I had been waiting I know a good 30 minutes and had not be acknowledged ,2 men just walked in and Lillian waved her arm in the air and told them they could have the both. They said it was too go.

And she replied that's ok I got it. The rudeness to not even look at me. And they order and after it the door meanwhile I'm still standing waiting. They were busy but that is not an excuse when us customers are where you get your tips.

She needs a class in ethnicsv and morals of waitressing

A buddy and I decided to go eat at the waffle house on 665 in grove city Ohio tonight. When we got out of our trucks a lady dressed in a waffle house uniform got out of another vehicle in the parking lot blocked the door and said this is take out only tonight because I have a headache and

I've already called my manager and she said that it didn't matter as long as we kept the restaurant open. She was very hateful and rude and I said then we will go somewhere else. We got back in out truck and she got back in the vehicle she was in and we left.

This is beyond disrespectful conduct of any kind of astablishment. If you don't want to work don't but being closed because one worker has a headache is unbelievable. I have never heard of such a thing. It is absolutely no way to run a business.

Came into Waffle House, no one said “Welcome to Waffle House”. There were several dirty booths, 2 servers sitting down eating. then I walked out! Came back later, with a friend, waited 10 minutes for a clean booth, had to ask for silverware and straws.

There was garbage all over the floor, everywhere, no Orange juice, and was told they would be closing at 2pm, making us feel rushed to eat our meal!

3rd time at this store that I have heard arguing with customers very mean and loud. I go there to enjoy a meal not a picture show. Today it had to do with a veteran who asked about a military discount. All hell broke loose.

Jake at store 1740 was very loud and disrespectful of this customer. This is not the 1st time I am there 3 to 4 times a week. Jake is very loud and obnoxious bully, and could care less about his patrons.

I for one do not have to be in unwelcome situations. Thank you.

Store was empty yet we were not greeted or sat. We waited 15 minutes to get sat. After we got sat we waited 20 minutes for someone to drop menus off to us. After that, 5 minutes for someone to take our drink order.

Again, the store was completely empty.

I came in to your location on 2680 Georgetown rd NW Cleveland TN 37311. Walked in there is people eating and I'm in line the people working there told me I should go somewhere else because they have no cook.

Asked what about the person you have cooking they said they would not take our order. People behind us got upset as well because they wouldn't take our order bit would take others. This to me looked like a racist act I don't appreciate this at all I travel and have gone too many Waffle houses and I can tell you with this experience I will no longer do so.

I will post about this horrible experience it's unacceptable. And will file something against this it's unfair. I came into this location today April 22, 2021 7:02pm

located at 2395 Pocahontas Trail, Quentin VA 23141. On April 20, 2021 at 9:30 PM. I was on my way back to NYC and stopped at that Wafle House for food and hot tea. Honestly, as a Black woman, I was a little uneasy going in because there were no people of color in the restaurant. And with the George Floyd verdict fresh off the press, I was a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I went went into the restaurant. I had a Black male friend with me as well.

As soon as I walked in, it got a bit tense. No one greeted me. (Why is that important? The night before me and that same male friend went to a Waffle House in Spotsylvania just the night before. As soon as we walked in, the two white women who were working greeted us)

I ignored the subpar customer service because I was hungry. I then looked for…

You have really knocked down the waffle house name and service by playing the loudest black music in every waffle house we have visited. It sounds like a bunch of animals screaming and hollering to the top of their lungs and you can not understand any of the junk.

It is so loud I can not even think about enjoying my meal.

Also it is damaging our ears. What happened to the good soft clean music you could understand and enjoy eating a meal with a person. I had to scream to the server to bring us things we needed the music was so loud they could not understand us.

We can not sit down and enjoy our meal and have a conversation with each other. I even ask if the music can be turned down but they could not do that. I think your company is racist and discriminating against whites because all…

I went to the Waffle House on the Eastern Bypass in Richmond, KY. The cashier, who had just finished handling money and talking on the phone, walked over to my order and pick the bacon up with her bare hands.

She had not washed her hands while we were in the restaurant waiting on our to go order. I don't know how the food was cooked or tasted because I asked for a refund because of her touching the food with dirty hands.

I am also a little ticked that I had tipped when I paid and did not receive the tip back as part of my refund. I tipped for service that was not good and for food that I did get.

Overall, a very disappointing experience. I will probably start going to the Waffle House on the other side of town if I want to eat there.

Clarksville TN area. Hwy 41A . The food loses appeal when cook mere feet away distracts customer with show and tell trousers waist line below butt cheeks . For real ?The fad is a deal breaker .

Owners need to check what they place between the customer and cash drawer to make client impression.

It’s understandable that the world has suffered three this pandemic but it makes no sense that the waffle houses off I-85 south in Georgia are mistreating the customers they are taking advantage of whatever rule has been passed down for there manages to shut down and clean to abusing it.

At random times threw out the night the staff retreats to their cars and participate and their social activities while customers are turned away and not being served this is beginning to get ridiculous it doesn’t matter what time of night it is customers are taking a chance going to either Flat Shoals, Hwy 138 or senoria rd locations somebody needs to address this issues

My daughter and I visited the port Royal road, Spring Hill TN 37174 location. 04/13/21 @ 5:30-6pm. Ordered egg white fiesta omelet with hash browns both “lgt oil”, No butter on toast. Toast had extra butter, veggies where very crunch not cooked-whites not completely cooked.

Also Philly steak & cheese again onions not cooked From the beginning of the visit the server had a very rude attitude did not like the idea of a “somewhat complicated order” although I have Never had anyone at Waffle House have an issue with the request of lgt oil and holding the yolk on an omelet.

I expressed clearly that I was aware the inlet may not come out perfectly in appearance due to the oil but that was completely fine. As she put in our request to the cook he seemed to have the same response until he…

I ordered an all Star meal, double hash browns w/ double mushrooms, double onions, double cheese, double Ham, double tomatoes. so each topping on a double should have been on there 4 * serving oz per order. I also paid for it and did not receive it, which I'm highly pissed about.

We were told that we couldn't eat inside the restaurant, we could only take it to go. The inside of the store literally looked like there was a food fight from one end to the other. Chili, drinks, crackers, hash browns and all varietys of the menu were on the floors, juke box, bar, and EVERY TABLE.

not one clean table what do ever!! When I received my order I left the store and went home... upon arriving home, I opened my bag and discovered my hash browns were not doubled they had jalapenos and because I was not…

We frequently visit Waffle House at night. The last two weeks we have gone by the Riverview Waffle House just to be turned away. Last night we ask what the problem is and were told they were short handed. As a result we went to the Waffle House on Causeway they had five employees and were packed.

Its getting close to us finding another Restaurant to eat at. You are paying six employees to run off patrons. Good Job.

110 Loves Creek Church Rd, Siler City NC 20210418 @1330. Lawd y’all have some issues with this specific location. manger not wearing a mask during a “pandemic”. Obviously exercising his rights while he’s outside the front door smoking and coming inside to sit at the booth watching his employees work.

(sarcasm if you cannot tell) you’ve got an employee grabbing bucket of SCALDING hot water and dumping it on the floor leaving puddles for the other employees to standing while they work. The cook was having to stand in it for I kid you not 20 minutes.

The other employees moral definitely went down after that. As he got done dumping the buckets of SCALDING hot water on the floor he went and changed the Juke book music a couple times laughed with the manager. He went back and got more buckets…

The cook at this location at 0200 am was absolutely disgusting and I will be reporting to the Health Department for Review and Inspection! I spent 45mins watching him not use gloves, have a filthy oven and then watched him place nasty hash Browns from the cutting counter into to-go trays.

I made sure I stoped him and discussed it with him and the shift leader! This Waffle House needs to be better at who they’re hiring as cooks! The county health inspector will be called and notified

Went to the Waffle House in Brevard, NC on the corner of Ashville Hwy and Ecusta. April 16, 2021. The manager was very very rude and unprofessional to the employees in front of the customers. There were at least two employees in training.

The young man that was training these employees seemed to be in training himself. The eggs were disgraceful and should have never been served. A very nice young lady finally waited on us and the service itself was very good.

However the manager called her out and belittled her several times. I'm sure embarrassing her in front of the entire restaurant. I will be surprised if she stays very long after the treatment today by the manager. We hurriedly ate and got up to leave.

The Waffle House in Dublin, ga on hwy 441 south. I work at night shifts on week days and weekends. Every time I go there they say the store is closed. Which is a total lie. Because every single time I go there it’s another excuse.

Then if I do get in the service is horrible. They act like they hate there job. I hope y’all fix this because I’m not the only person being turned away. Multiple people will be trying to get in and they turn everyone away.

Where I work there’s only two places I can eat at 12 in the morning, which is subway and Waffle House. Please do everyone a favor fix it or just close the place.
