Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
An average alone would undersell where this place is now. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
The split is 8 positive to 2 negative across 11 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. What nobody raises here is serving size — it goes unmentioned across all 11 reviews. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 8 of 11.
The kitchen graded a B (89/100) on 1 high-priority and 3 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. That result dates from January 27, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 48% of the Volusia County restaurants we grade. With only 11 reviews on file, individual visits carry a lot of weight in every figure above. What the inspector actually wrote up: nonfood-contact surfaces clean and insects/rodents/pests.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

Yo and Nancy were excellent hostess and the food was great!

One of the best restaurant experiences we have had in a long time. I am so thankful for the fantastic service offered here. We came a little after midnight and stayed for about an hour. This was my first Waffle House experience and I can’t wait to come back soon. 🧇🏠

What’s the point of being open 24 hours if we can’t dine in? Arrived at 11:31, didn’t know they closed the inside at 11:30. Just go to the one on Nova, don’t waste your time. (There’s also a mandatory 20% fee for takeout orders, but you can only do takeout)
