Mimi ChanelSeptember 18, 2013The simple breakfast yummy! The petite granola waffles w/ yogurt is perfect. One down side to a great concept. Chalk for writing on the table. Need wet wipes to wipe off the chalk so I can eat.
Todd WhiteNovember 2, 2014With a name like Waffles they are known for exactly that and do them perfect. They even have a waffle sampler where you can try 4 very different flavors side by side and all are amazing
John HankusApril 22, 2015Try a wonut and intelligensia coffee. Breakfast sandwiches are the best deal on the menu since you get two decent size egg on waffle sandwiches. The hostess isn't accurate when stating wait times.
Reuben LewyMay 4, 2014If you like Eggs Benedict, come try their Waffles Benedict. What a nice dish served with a greens salad! Also the Yogurt Parfait, Delightful! Great staff and Service too!
One of the best brunch places in Lakeview. Been going there for years and they keep getting better. Friendly and happy wait staff as well.
Cameron CylkowskiAugust 13, 2013Amazing food! Great concept, you can write on the tables with chalk. Huge portions. The staff is fantastic and the fresh squeezed Orange juice is a must.
Caitlin SalzbergSeptember 22, 2015The Mexican chocolate wonut was amazing! Also cheddar waffles and short rib was delicious!
Matt MonroeJanuary 22, 2013Such a great concept AND all the waffles are available gluten-free! Nice touch that the water comes w/o ice too--perfect for these single digit days!
Oceanna CliffordOctober 19, 2014If you like Benedicts the Waffle Egg Benedict very good. Dont forget to take a wonut home for dessert they are really good.
Great people, good food. Could eat my Sunday morning brunches here everyday. Good hangover food. Plus intelligentsia coffee. You can't go wrong.
BigTab R.N.August 10, 2013When you ask for granulated sugar, they bring it to you in a shot glass. Not a canister or container. A shot glass O.o
Very yummy! Try the red velvet waffles. You wont be sorry! :)
Stephanie SmithOctober 9, 2013Yummy waffle creations. Try the Ham and Cheese Waffle, Red Velvet Waffle, or Waffle Flights.
Stephanie MattosDecember 25, 2013If you thought your waffles were good, you haven't been to Waffles. If you leave disappointed, it's your own fault, because the menu is flawless.
FelipeMarch 23, 2013Steak Torta might just be the best in the city. Everything is expensive though. They play Indie music at least.
Nicole LitterioApril 19, 2015Oreo wonut was amazing, but the red velvet just okay. Waited for brunch seating and was seated at a round table with a random other couple. Awkward brunch, slow service...waited forever for a fork etc
Dillon ChenFebruary 14, 2015The Ham and Cheese Waffles are the creamy stuff of dreams. Ham right inside the waffles.
I like the waffle egg sandwiches and the server suggested dipping in syrup and that was a great tip.
Agnes MahungJuly 27, 2014Had a waffle sandwich, vanilla shake, and the steak torts. It's all so yummy!
AndreaDecember 15, 2012Avoid sitting at the table right next to the door at all costs! The place is busy so you'll be punched in the face with blasts of cold air every other minute. Good food. Service is kind of slow tho...
Jamie WilliamsonMay 31, 2013This place is staffed by cute cubs. Perfect for a waffle place in boys town.
Stacey LaskinMay 8, 2013Waffles are the greatest, coffee is potent, awkward service is part of the charm.
Tee ZeeApril 26, 2014Valiant effort, but this place is a little bit gimmicky. I cleaned my plate but I predict this place won't make it in the long run.
Gökhan KayaJanuary 3, 2014Waffle flight was a good start, tea pot was huge, you can buy one and drink together
Michael RankApril 26, 2014Don't believe online reservation system on their website. They only take reservations for 6 or more.
James DelnortFebruary 19, 2013Waffle was burnt. Did the Chef or food server check the food before sending it out? Didn't check back at my table in a timely manner. Haven't been back since.
Allison SJanuary 8, 2013The service was terrible and a little overpriced for what you get. Food was good but I would expect potatoes as a side not mixed greens.
Jill KonkelOctober 12, 2013Decor could be better. Kind of sterile. Food above average, but as are prices.
J. Terrell AllenJuly 6, 2013I really wanted to like this place, but the customer service and the attitude of the workers are sh***y. Don't waste your time and money on this place.
