Horrible service Saturday around 12:30. Entered Waffle House where there were only about two small families already being served. No greetings from staff of about six. I took a seat and after waiting for at least ten minutes without any service being offered, I asked the women gathered at the counter if they were open for business. At that time two more groups of customers walked in and were promptly waited on. Last time visiting this sorry establishment.

I eat here probably twice a month. Simple food, great wait staff, great price. One day I’ll order something besides my usual cheese eggs bacon and scattered smothered covered :)

Its a waffle house, they are all pretty much the same. This one always seems pretty clean with ok service. Its winning attribute is that its in front of a strip club so the people watching is pretty awesome.

I love breakfast. I really like THIS Waffle House. It has an interesting clientele. Good people watching. The parking lot is scary at night but I used to go there during the night sometimes. I always have breakfast. Eggs, grits… hash browns scattered, smothered and covered. I do not particularly care for Waffle House coffee. I am a big coffee drinker. I don’t like theirs but I drink it. I tried drinking a hot chocolate a few months back but that was not right. The place is looking a little seedy but it still works for me. I am glad Columbus is all no smoking now. I hated the second hand smoke but it was part of the Waffle House experience.

This is my regular stop when I’m looking for a WH. I either get a waffle, bacon, and eggs, or eggs and homefries. The best time NOT to come is the wee hours of the morning. Then you’ll find the waitresses and cooks outside with a cigarette. Other than that, it’s pretty good. Note: this was cut and pasted from another waffle house — wrong address. Note 2: I was told that this WH was the busiest in the country.

Ah, this is a Waffle House of legends. If you aren’t a fan of diners or Americana, you will hate this place. But I feel like most people already know whether or not they enjoy Waffle House. But in case you aren’t: It’s open 24-hours, serves breakfast food, sandwiches, burgers and even steaks, its a bit greasy, a bit shady and the coffee is fantastically unpretentious. The kind of coffee brewed for people who build shit and don’t just provide tech-support from their cubicle. Back when I was in high school, I used to come here as a late-night hangout as I had no desire to pretend like I was cool enough to hang out on OSU campus. I always preferred Waffle House to the other chain 24-hour joint, Steak ‘N Shake, because well… Steak ‘N Shake was always a bit too tame for me. And really, the food sucks. Who wants fries the diameter of a spaghetti noodle? As far as Waffle Houses go, this one takes the cake. Located of a highway? Check. A staff that varies from overly-friendly to sassy to completely disinterested? Check. Shifty-eyed patrons? Check. Located in front of a strip club the size of a three-car garage? Double-check! Rumor has it(I found this out from a friend whose friend used to either work there or frequented it with a zealous consistency) that they actually used to run a prostitution ring in this Waffle House in conjunction with the strip club out back(Red Fox, I believe?). I mean, you aren’t gonna get a shady diner more legit than that, kids! At least not outside of Detroit. The Waffle House by the Polaris area might be more suitable for families and the faint-of-heart, but it just seems out of place. It’s located in a nice area with the colossal Polaris Fashion Place on one side and the huge Polaris strip mall on the other. Where are the truckers? Nowhere.

I’ve a new found respect for the staff at all Waffle Houses, mostly the ones with a lot of intoxicated individuals, WOW! Yes this review is about The Waffle House(off of 161). Last night, this morning, as my party of eight stumble and slide inside the double doors of this establishment we are greeted by the non-so overly friendly security detail who seated us in two boot. The seating service as prompt, and even in my state of mind I noticed the crowds of not only my fellow revelers but other of more questionable character. To jump to the quick of the matter, I have a respect for the wait staff and only respect, everything other service provided last night, except the security detail was terrible. I stress T-Jay’s or Kroger.
