I had a very poor experience at the *******************, **** location (#****). I placed a to-go order at 11:14 a.m., but didnt receive it until 11:45 a.m., and only after I inquired about it. I waited inside the entire time, with no acknowledgment of my food. When I asked if my order was ready, one staff member said she didnt know, while another confirmed it was mine. I calmly mentioned that it would have been nice to know my food was ready, but the staff member became irate and falsely accused me of leaving and returning. I wasnt expecting exceptional service from Waffle House, but an apology would have been appreciated instead of being blamed. The manager didnt offer a solution and instead directed me to a hotline, which led me to customer service site. Given the poor experience, I believe some form of compensation (a drink or something!) would have been appropriate, though I dont expect much. The waitress was extremely rude and Im disgusted by the way she treated me and lied on me. Even other customers let the staff know I was waiting on my food the entire time inside, and the waitress continued to try and make a scene being extremely aggressive.Waffle House Response

We arrived at the Waffle House around 3:10/3:15am to place our order. I order a Texas Bacon Cheses Steak Melt Plate. I told the waitress, I wanted my bacon well done, hashbrown golden, not ****, light onions. I noticed a customer who came ************ after me, who sat beside me placed his order received his food before me. I noticed the black lady Waffle worker with a black jacket on gave him the guy sitting next to me some alcohol in a cup, I could smell it. minutes after I place his order and received his food before me. Then I asked the where's our food, then received it minutes later. I noticed my bacon looked uncooked and looked like scrapes. I said it out loud. Once I said that I heard the two staff employees talking about this how the bacon is, that's what we got to give us scrapes and making mockery of me. I was talking to someone saying I got them on record, I will be contacting the corporate office, then employee with the black jacket on said out loud I know that s*** right don't nobody got you ****** up. (It's recorded on my phone) I said I would like to have a refund please, rachet employee with jacket on said I can get it at 7:00am whenever management here b/c I was being combative. ***** jumped in conversation, taking about that's the policy, The same employee who gave customer alcohol and started an altercation with me, using profanity, recorded on my phone. Then I asked for a remake, ***** came up in my face talking about I asked the nicely, while I was sitting at the bar said he don't care about me recording, said I had attitude, said I was being combative, started arguing. The employees were ganging up on me, hollering, out of control, very unprofessional. I will be seeing attorney about this. I want my refund. Hood Rachet EmployeesWaffle House Response

Totally disgusted with the way not only employees are treated, but customers as well! I dropped my girlfriend (employee) at this particular waffle house, at which I've been a regular customer for a few years now, I ordered coffee at first, then later decided to have breakfast, I've never had a problem at this establishment until today. I was there a total of 2 hours when it was brought to my attention by my girlfriend that I was accused of just sitting there taking up a whole section! Umm I used just one seat, so tell me how I took up a whole section!? The result of this bogus ******** not only caused my girlfriend to quit, but I as a paying customer will never eat here again! And believe me, word will get around!Waffle House Response

Waffle House has a policy stating that friends or relatives of an Associate may not be served by said Associate which is explained during the training process. Friends or relatives of our Associates are welcome to dine with us, however they nor anyone else are permitted to loiter in our restaurants as this could interfere with another customer's ability to complete their dining experience in a timely manner as well as the potential interference with the Associate performance of their duties while working.Review from James F

Hello,Well I hate writing about stuff like this but I had no choice. Me and my brother (African American) wanted some late breakfast and we went to ************, ** location off frontage road. We noticed a sign on the door that said no air take out only! Well thats no big deal but as we entered the establishment we couldnt notice but how great it felt in there, so I asked one of the cookers can we stay and he said ask the other guy.Well the other guy proceeds to say no I just cant then I point to a (white) male customer thats just sitting there enjoying his food and then his response was he was already here! So help me understand this if the decision was made because of customer satisfaction or? Then why couldnt we stay?Guess the SOUTH is really the south and its sad it came to this. Not to mention after that whole ordeal me and my brother left and we seen him laughing with the customer like it was a joke.We ended up going down the street to the ******** location where things was good.ThanksWaffle House Response

Unethical practice: charged service fee and to go fee for to go order. Zero service but charges service fee. No sign to inform customer of this. Additionally: asked if want to leave a tip? (Thats on top of those hidden fees)Waffle House Response

Waffle House adopted a 10% Service Charge on all To-Go orders over 25 years ago. The 10% Service Charge is paid directly and entirely to the Servers who handle those To-Go orders. In late 2022, we added a new 10% To-Go Fee on all To-Go orders to help offset rising costs of our To-Go supplies and related items. Signage at each cash register, a sticker at the front door, printed information on each Guest Check and a prominent notice on our printed Dine-In, To-Go and online menus, clearly and plainly disclose the 10% Service Charge and the 10% To-Go Fee for all customers to see before they place a To-Go order. Also, please understand, providing a great dine-in, full service restaurant experience to our customers is the primary focus of our business. We also know that a portion of our customers prefer the convenience of ordering our food To-Go and we appreciate their business. While To-Go business is not our primary focus, we do our best to provide delicious food in high quality packaging which our customers have come to expect. The next time this customer chooses **********************, we invite them to join us for a meal inside our restaurant where we can demonstrate our Hospitality and they can see what has made Waffle House the iconic brand it is today for almost 70 years. We apologize if this customer was unaware of the fees applied to all To-Go orders, if they had not noticed the signage until recently, or if they were unaware that the cash registers automatically prompts the tip question for all transactions.Review from Ashly B

I received the poorest service that I have ever received as a customer at any ******************** at ********************** as a first time customer this December 2023. My food was disgusting and I gave them the opportunity to remake it. Unfortunately it was worse the second time They literally just needed to make a fresh food and not to mention the restaurant was filthy, and the cook was sneezing and coughing in her hand while I was watching her make my food with no gloves and never once washed her hands. I requested a refund at which they told me they will refund me provided me with no receipt as proof, and when I requested the managers contact information, they would not give it to me, when I requested their names they would not tell me their names, when I requested corporate information they would not give me corporate information. I had to call the police to do a report in the parking lot. Never in my life have I been so disgusted at the way that I was treated at a restaurant I will never eat at another Waffle House. IF YOU ARE BLACK. I recommend staying far away from this location on their night shift on Saturdays ************************************************************Waffle House Response
