The Waffle Spot

So enjoyable on a Monday morning, practically all to ourselves. We have been many times over the years and the food rarely dissapoints. I always enjoy the bacon there. It's baked and smoky taste is a must no matter which breakfast I choose. Obviously known for the waffles, but the bacon... The decor is a little 60"s with music playing from the 80's. Colorful drawings by children of the restaurant mascot, King Waffle, line the ceiling edges around the restaurant. It's generally a longish wait on weekends, so hit them up on a week day for a relaxing meal. Hours are short. 7 to 1pm. Takeout not until 730am. Plenty of parking generally. Menu just one single sheet, not to confuse you like an Ihop. If you have kids, they offer crayons and a game/coloring sheet. They also have a short kids menu. Go, tell them Chris sent you. When they ask who Chris is, tell them you have no idea. Then the first one to laugh, wins.

Waffle spot was great! Service was excellent. Thank you Paula for being so sweet and attentive and also for sharing your stories with us hahah Food was great! I recommend the chilaquiles (they are not spicy but taste really good and the Benedict waffles with a sweet slice of ham on top of a waffle. Oh and did I mention it has a 60s look. Nothing but good things to say about this place. Oh I hear they are know for chicken and waffles but they have been out of chicken for a month now. Still no complaints.

Pros: Food was delicious. I ordered Sweet Potatoe waffles with bacon. Great customer service from server. Cons: We were a party of five and had to wait for a table. My friend's daughter and her husband were on their way from dropping off rental car. Our party waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Once our table was readyWe were told that we couldn't get a table for us all to sit together. About 15-20 mins later, the couple arrived, and they sat at the counter. I was in town for their wedding and I was leaving that day. It was disappointing not to have a meal with the newlyweds.

My friend and I were hungry and wanted to eat breakfast before heading out to TJ. We looked for restaurants in the area and noticed the high ratings and close proximity of the Waffle Spot to our room and decided to try it out. There was no line for waiting and we were seated right away. I had the Banana Nut Waffle and my friend had the Churro waffle plate (side’s definitely enough for two). The food was delicious and the service was excellent! John, our server, was very attentive and extremely personable. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by!

I can't say enough good things about this place! The staff is very kind and personable. The food has big portions and great pairings, even a few unique meals. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming with some good smiles and laughter among the staff! I would definitely recommend anyone to try this place when in San Diego. I had an excellent experience and will be back whenever I'm in town!!
