Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
The recurring subject in this corpus is the staff, not the food in general. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 4.5 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
A third strand, how food arrives, appears in 19% of them at 5.0 stars. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (13 of 16). Of the 16 rated reviews, 15 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (90/100) with 1 high-priority and 2 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was March 24, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. Ranked against Lake County, it is safer than 61% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited handwashing.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

Always busy. Great waffles

This Waffle House was way better than I expected. I ordered the waffle and bacon, and everything came out great. The bacon was cooked perfectly — I asked for it well done but not burnt, and they made it exactly right. The waffle was amazing, fresh, and tasted really good. The servers were also very nice and attentive, and the restaurant was extremely clean. It did not feel ghetto or dirty at all. Overall, great food, great service, and a very clean location. Definitely a 5-star Waffle House experience.

Our server Tee was amazing! She was super nice and very sweet with out daughter! Food was excellent and fast. And the price was amazing compared to everything else around disney.
-
The waffle was good as usual, but everything else was horrible. The service horrible and the restaurant needs a deep cleaning. The staff could not get to go orders or inside orders correct. They brought us double of everything and someone elses check. This experience was a disaster. We will not be back. Very exhausting.

Always with a smile and the best attitude to get your food warm and on time! Thanks Star and I’m sorry for not posting this before!! You deserve the best of the best!!
