I walked into the Waffle House on 7/18/22 at 12:30 a.m. and asked if they were open because the employee was alone, cleaning and no one was at the restaurant. Places have been changing hours so I thought maybe it was closing or closed. The lady rudely said to me, "You walked in didn't you?" in a condescending tone and rolled her eyes. In fact, I cannot...

My wife and I went to our neighborhood Waffle House on Saturday. When we walked in we were the only customers in the dining room. We sat down and the staff had the music so loud on the juke box you couldn't hear each other talk and the employees had to scream at each other to hear each other talk. The music stayed like this through our whole meal.

Waffle House food and service

on July 3,2022 we went around 11:30 pm to the store in Easley,SC. Upon arrival at the store no tables were cleaned so we sat down where someone else had been sitting and about 35 minutes into us sitting down I caught a waitress as she was going by and got her to clean table off. then she just cleared the plates and glasses and never wiped it down. So we waited around another 35 minutes before we got to order. 2 of us orderered the allstar breakfast and never received our waffles and our eggs were ordered srambled well and both of them had cheese on them, couldn't eat those either. We have been going to wafflehouse for years but this was the worst experience ever, they were letting some of the people leave with food in boxes and not having to pay that were sitting at the booth. we also never got any refills or some of our food. it was terrible customer service and waiting and we spent about 2 hours with everthing going on in there. Part of the staff didn't ack like they wanted or cared to do anything. It will be a while before me and my family decide to go there again, their were 4 of us. My email is [protected]@yahoo.com and my phone number is [protected] if you could contact me and what can be done about this ordeal that we had to go through, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you, Judy Norris

Waffle House I still have not received my full refund!

$10.25 was taken off my debt card and I only originally charged $6.05. After calling Ms. Gladys at the restaurant explaining to her that I won't be in the area anytime soon to get the money out back on my card she hung up on me. As of right now I have been over charged and nothing being done to correct the problem. This issue originally took place Thursday morning 30th June. Also this is the 2nd email that I submitted in reference to this.

Desired outcome: I need the rest of my money refunded now! I'm a truck driver I won't be in Richmond Hill, Ga anytime soon.

Waffle House Added HAM to 2 Veggie Omelettes - 2X in a WEEK, Hung up on me 3x BEFORE I Spoke, This KAYLA Talked to me EXTREMELY RUDE At Store 1195, Seneca SC

I work for undercover for FED. AGENCY assigned to Narcotics at Greenville Sheriff Dept. Before that, Army for 7 years and became injured vet. So I’ve ate at Waffle Houses in MANY states n cities. But I NEVER got 2 of 3 orders WRONG in 1 week until now. But when a Staff Member, KAYLA at #1195 DISRESPECTS ME FOR THEIR MISTAKE! Not gonna do that with me! I ordered 3 to-go plates of DOUBLE VEGETABLES, CHEESE, NO MEAT - DOUBLE OMELETTES, with sides on 3 days. First one was great. Last 2 had HAM IN OMELETTES - A LOT, but not many vegetables. I let the first one go. Then on 01JULY2022 at 10:20-30 am approx, I got the SECOND two hammed-up same way. So I called and they HUNG UP- 3 TIMES - before I spoke! Then straight to machine. I called 02JULY2022 at about 9 am, spoke to unknown, and she said “WE CAN FIX YOU ANOTHER ORDER” - which is good. But once I arrived at #1195, KAYLA met me with a frown, NO APOLOGY FOR THEIR ERRORS, THEN KAYLA RUDELY TOLD ME: "CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU GO BECAUSE I WONT REPLACE ANOTHER ONE." How do you check mine and another Officers' Omelette at counter for HAM? Why not "We're sorry for the mix up and let me know if there's any problem?" The food was prepared wrong TWICE in one week at Seneca by THEM, got hung up on 3 times, BUT KAYLA RUDE IN TONE & CONTENT, NO APOLOGY, THEN SHE I TOLD ME TO CHECK 2 EGG OMELETTES BECAUSE SHE WONT REPLACE IT AGAIN! THAT DID IT! My partner is from CA. I introduced her to Waffle House. She is MAD! I am MAD too! We eat in GVL. 3-4X week!

SSG. G

Desired outcome: UPPER MANAGEMENT SPEAK TO KAYLA AT STORE 1195 REGARDING HER TONE AND VERBAL CONTENT OF HER MESSAGE; APOLOGY FROM KAYLA FOR HER WORDS WHEN THIS WAS A RESTAURANT ERROR - NOT ME, NOT MY PARTNER ON FORCE.

My daughter and I had just gotten back to Arkansas after a long plane ride. We’ve been going to the Rebsaman Road restaurant in Little Rock, AR because the food has always been good especially when the older lady is there. Well,upon entering the restaurant all three of the employees were in a heated argument. The two young ladies were cursing at the male co-worker I think his name is Ken as well as an annoying customer. The tables were dirty, they did not attempt to clean the tables. One young lady by the name of Kenyatta looked at my daughter and me and kept walking. There was another young lady that had the nastiest facial expression that said, I'm not taking any orders and walked outside cursing as well. Now, the two young ladies were cooking because the cook Ken said I’m not cooking [censored]. I've never heard the F-word and the B-word said many times, especially in a restaurant. The waitresses had to cook because Ken burned all of the food they threw away so much food. Ken the cook sat down and played music on his phone. Then he tells the ladies that he wasn't going to clean any of the tables and he held true to that. Now, mind you, my daughter and I had just made it back from Florida, and all we wanted was to sit down and eat. We were there for 1.5 hours and they were telling customers that they weren't taking any more orders because they were swamped. This is so unsatisfactory and just awful that we all had to listen to this, the one lady told a customer that she’d bash a customer in the face with a skillet if he didn't shut the f*** up! I love this restaurant but I'm going to tell my family and friends to never visit the restaurant. This was so unsatisfactory the entire crew needs to be retrained or fired. I really want to speak to someone concerning this matter, I’d be typing all night.

Group of friends and I went to a waffle house in myrtle beach, sc (711 frontage rd e, myrtle beach, sc 29577). We sat down to eat and our server was "mandy" but did not know the name nor paid much attention while looking at the menu till after the fact. So as mandy came back to the table with the drinks, who was taking forever to even come take our order...

Waffle House Thorn Rd, Lake Charles, [protected]@ 6/21/22, 9:15 pm

I placed my order and watched as the manager/ cook processed (cooked) one order, a hamburger, only one hamburger, and then after 15-minutes of waiting, my waiter called my order. I asked the waiter why he was just then calling my order. The cook snidely said, "he calls them (the orders) out,” as soon I; can cook them”. There was a very small number of customers in the restaurant, and apparently only one customer before me, as this cook had to cook the one hamburger BEFORE he could start my order, as we had words, I asked to speak to the manager, and he confessed/ revealed himself as "the manager” and invited me to “take my waffle and leave”. I am disappointed that a cook that is only capable of cooking one meal at time, should be elevated to the level of Manager. I left at the “cook/ manager’s” insistence.

This is the first bad experience that I’ve had at a Waffle House since ya’ll have moved into my neighborhood. I think that Waffle House may want to rethink this “Manager’s” position,

Desired outcome: Fire this incompetent manager / cook.

Waffle House Service at Clairmont and 85

I went to the location at clairmont and I85. I was getting it to go and you have a waiter he said his name was Perk. I know you have cameras so you can see. I went in at about 7:40 or so for a to order to go. I was with a friend the server came up on the phone and would not get his pad to take my order I had 4 meals and wanted him to write it down and refused. He kept being on his phone and would not put it down for nothing. He was rude and I left because of him. The cook did nothing to help. I go there a lot and it is the first time I saw him there your regular staff is good. My name is Gwen and phone number is [protected]. I will be put a google review of the least I can. Unless I hear something by the end of the week

Waffle House food and customer service complaint

Went to dine at the waffle house on North Monroe, Tallahassee Fl. (05/25/2022) We ordered a meal with bacon. We had to send the bacon back three times and the bacon came back burnt each time. I didn't get my waffle until i was done eating. At this time, we are very frustrated. I ask that the manager come over to the table to speak with us and she refused and said call cooperate. Are you serious right now! Excuse me do what?

Desired outcome: Because of how she handled the situation, I would like for the store manager to be reprimanded. She did not and would not apologize.

Waffle House Breakfast

Yesterday, (5-23), I went to unit 412 - 2264 Cheshire Bridge Rd Atlanta.

\I ordered an old fashion Fiesta omelet - light pepper. When the server brought the food, I did not recognize it as what I had ordered, the server said the cook was new.

I sent it back and I believe I was pun ished for doing so.

Some thirty minutes after finishing my meal, I began to have serious G I problems.

My stomach became distended, It felt as though my stomach was not working.

I began to have substantial burping and later substantial flatulence.

I was not able to eat, only had a bowl of soup around 6pm., again followed by extended belly. Then had trouble burping, ended up patting my stomach as though I was a baby, to try and relieve the extended belly.

This continued through the nigh.

This morning I was only able to eat half a piece of toast, again followed by extended belly etc. etc..

At the time of writing I am still experience the symptoms.

Sincerely.

John R Taylor

Desired outcome: I would like the cooks that were on duty, questioned.

Waffle House The “Cook”

To Whom it may concern,

My husband and I stopped at a Waffle House near our home at about 4:30pm

On May 19,2022. It was :

Waffle House 1420

2080 Litton Lane

Hebron, Ky 41048

Ticket #[protected]

[protected]

There was one other customer in the place besides us. The Waitress was very nice, the cook came out fixed our food, which was good, then he went into the back. The waitress was putting supplies away, the cook was belittling her from the back. He should have been helping her at Doing something like maybe cleaning the place, it was filthy. He was in my opinion he was lazy and inappropriate to behave that way in front of customers or not.

His wrecked car was also parked in the customer parking lot.

The entire thing was disgusting.

Best regards,

Ella Milton

2308 Paragon Mill Drive

Burlington, Ky 41005

[protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: Speak with the red haired rude cook about an attitude adjustment and maybe fire him and give the waitress a raise.

Waffle House Customers turned away

Wh in zebulon, nc seems to be in a downward spiral… I am a regular who has seen multiple times 2/3 of the dining room closed and roped off to prevent use, with 6 staff on duty… when asked, they always say they are training… but watching them shows a different story… frequently, potential customers leave without getting a table since only 3 booths are open and 4 are closed and all counter seats closed off…

On the evening of april 15th about 8 p.M. They actually stopped all new potential customers from coming in stating they had no prep and will not be able to fill orders for an hour or so… I kid you not, I watched at least 25 or more customers at different times stopped and was turned around as they came in the store… I was glad I already was seated in 1 of the 3 booths and already had my order…

On the evening of april 26th, they wouldn’t let anyone in unless they ordered online and took it with them… my group went to mcdonald’s…

This is a corporate store that is on its way to complete failure… the reputation alone for these issues will see to it… how sad, since this town strongly supports decent restaurants with lines around the building… but also this town has so many subdivisions being built and sold out that the population will be tripling or more over the next couple of years…

Hey wh corporate, save your store before it is too late… the business is here and you guys are messing up….

On Thursday, April 7, 2022, I went to to the Waffle House #867 on Fieldstown Rd. in Gardendale Al. I entered and a black male employee sweeping the floor directed me to a table. As soon as I sat down a black female employee told me I couldn't sit there. The BM asked her why, but she never answered. I told them that I would just get my order to go and walked...

Waffle House i went by there a few times from 1am to 3am and they are stating that they are closed

store number 1930 on 43 Ventura Drive in Rocky Mount

I went by around 1245 am on 04/07/22 to get an to go order, people are in the building wiping tables and as i go in the lady stated that they are closed. This has happened on may occasions . How are you closed and people are working in the inside and on the outside walking around. Gas is high and when you call they will not answer the phone. If you are closed i think if you should put a sign on the door or have all lights out or answer the phone when people call to let them know you are closed. And kill the attitude...

Desired outcome: i dont want anything, just want to let you know whats going on

Waffle House Door locked this morning at 8:10AM and couldn't order on phone also.

The newer W/H located on Hwy#14 in Greer, S.C. beside the QT station was not open for service this morning. There were employees in there that saw me come to door and tried to come in, but they ignored me. I tried to call their phone number [protected] and a recording was saying that they aren't taking phone orders but i can come in to order. Is this new location closing down already? I have got to hear the excuse on this!

Desired outcome: Close the new store down if you can't do better than this.

Waffle House Not serving meals at 7:00 am

3-17-22. Store 668 in Forrest City AR not serving at 7:00 am in the store. “ To go only.”

This has been going on for months. The man without teeth who appears to be the manager says he is short staff and cannot serve anyone… not even someone at the counter. I counted 5 employees. One cook one manager and at least 2 servers . The manager could cook or serve too. You will not have a full staff in today’s environment. Open up whatever seats your staff can serve. It appears the staff including the manager does not want to work and make due with the staff he has. There’s a constant stream of cars pulling up and leaving without food. I work in the area and have observed this same situation for months now.

Desired outcome: Talk to manager and open counter or tables as able.
