Excellent service! Never had to ask the waitress to refill my cup. The food was excellent. Ordered the 3 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, grits, toast, coffee and a Belgian waffle. Came with butter and jelly. Great service, good cook, good food, clean silverware and table. Restroom was clean and soap dispenser worked. Can't ask for more than that! I'll be back if I'm coming through and I do recommend this establishment. It's conveniently located and easy access.

Nov-2019. First time here. A two-sided menu with Breakfast on one side and Lunch/Dinner on the other. Good, fresh coffee! The grilled chicken and baked potato was pretty good. UPDATED REVIEW. Went on 10-2020 ordered waffle, 2 eggs, & bacon. It was delicious. Social distance seating & masks sign. Nice waitress. Fresh coffee. Will return.

My wife and I ate here five years ago and I had been thinking about it ever since!!! This place serves one of the best breakfasts I've ever ate!!! While on a recent visit to Kentucky, my father and I stopped here and it was just as fabulous as I remembered. My father had the #4 (breakfast) and I had the #3 (breakfast) because you can't go to the waffle king and NOT get a waffle. I opted to have the waffle topped with strawberries and cream and wasn't disappointed at all with the decision. The eggs on both orders were cooked to perfection just as we had ordered, the hash browns were golden and perfectly crispy and the bacon was some of the best bacon I've ever eaten. My father's came with biscuits and gravy and that was the only thing I wasn't fond of. The gravy was not near thick enough. A bit watery. Brittany was our server and she was an absolute angel. My father accidentally spilled his coffee and she was there with towels and a fresh cup immediately. She was the definition of a perfect server in every way. The food was brought to us quickly as well. The atmosphere was that of an old fashioned diner and very comfortable to eat in. In conclusion, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant!!! You will not be disappointed be sure to ask for Brittany as your server. I give it 9 out of 10!!!

I have been to Waffle King many times over the years. I wouldn’t say I’ve ever had bad service but todays waitress was exceptionally friendly and attentive to my boyfriend and I. Brandy was very polite and readily available. She greeted us with a smile as soon as we entered and already had took our drink orders by the time we had sat down. She is very good at her job and seems to truly enjoy what she is doing. I don’t normally leave reviews of any kind but she definitely deserves the recognition!! Thank you Brandy for a wonderful experience in our small town! Also, the food was wonderful. I didn’t get a chance to catch the cooks name. However, he did a wonderful job. Him and Brandy seemed to make a great team!

We were driving around on Father's Day, not from this area, and stopped in on a whim. They were packed, but the food and the service was outstanding. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend.

Great cooks! Service isn’t as fast as a fast-food restaurant but is great and friendly. I’ve never entered that someone hasn’t greeted us.
