| - I have a sentimental spot in my heart for Waffle House. Reminds me of my college days. I always like to ask the servers if any rock stars or athletes have been arrested at their location. And who doesn't love their pecan waffles? This location, with an uncharacteristically upscale brick façade, looks promising from the exterior. Plus, it's right off the 101. Once inside, it's a very typical Waffle House, which is actually a good thing if you're like me and willing to embrace the entire Waffle House experience. Seating is cramped and there can be issues if you have more than four people in your party (typical Waffle House). There is also a less than welcoming sign restricting the use of booths to parties of two or more (also typical of Waffle House). But to quote another reviewer, "This is the place to go if you want to be ignored" (not typical of Waffle House).
Actually, it's not quite as simple as just being ignored. I recently visited this location twice in quick succession. One visit, at an off peak evening time, was pleasant. Didn't feel crowded or rushed. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive. Only downside? The young server had no knowledge of celebrity arrests. Oh well. The second visit, during a peak weekday morning time, was thoroughly unpleasant. Flying insects!!! Dirty counters and tables. Begging required for coffee refills?!? Had to wait for the check. Then felt pushed out the door. Greeted by police arresting someone (not a celebrity) in the small parking lot. Hmm.
The food is fine. Solid Waffle House. The service? Very inconsistent. Folks next to me at the counter during the morning visit were offered whip cream, coffee refills... but I had my food shoved at me and never saw my waitress again. Perhaps that can be forgiven. We all have busy times or bad days. Flying insects? Sticky tables? Being pushed out the door? A broken booth in serious need of repair, apparently for quite some time if the sign posted is an indication? Those issues, especially those involving cleanliness, are not specific to one person and cannot be so easily dismissed. I would never return here in the morning, but I might stop by again at an off peak time when they've had time to clean the restaurant and swat flies before I arrive. Waffle House is always more fun at night in my experience and they serve the pecan waffles any time.
