| - Lured in by seductive reviews and copious, drool-inducing food porn, my expectations were set high for Waffles Incaffeinated. We arrived just before 10 on a Saturday morning and were seated in about 2 minutes in a packed house. We must have timed it jusssssst right because a wait formed after us with guests lining the sidewalk to wait for waffly bliss.
On deck - coffee, an order of sweet potato waffle fries with the marshmallow dip, a Souther' and the special.
Coffee was on point. Very good coffee, hot, and frequently refilled by our attentive waitress.
Waffle Fries - fries were standard, it was the dip we were looking forward to! Unfortunately, the dip came served to us pretty cold, and the marshmallow had set so that it was almost impossible to dip. The dip was delicious, but serving temperature is key on this one. Cold marshmallow = high viscosity.
Waffles - both entrees were good. I really liked the Souther', which had plenty of jalapenos tucked IN to the waffle. I'm not used to having my mouth tingle while eating waffles, which was great. Sadly, the waffles were a little cold for both my wife's entree and my own. They were slammed - I get it - but I shouldn't see the cheese only half-melted and cooled enough to re-harden when the plates are being dropped at the table.
We enjoyed WI and we'll go back, and I hope the cold entrees and app were just a fluke. If that's the case, we'll be in 4-star territory on our way to 5.
