Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Diners who mention cleanliness here rate it low, yet the kitchen graded A. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars. Cleanliness is the next most common subject, in 22% of reviews (averaging 3.0).
The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (7 of 9). Speed of service shows up in 22% of reviews as well, averaging 5.0. The split is 7 positive to 2 negative across 9 rated reviews.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (96/100) with 1 intermediate and 1 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was March 20, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. On health score it sits safer than 63% of the St. Lucie County restaurants we grade. Worth stating plainly: 9 reviews is a small sample, so treat the percentages above as indicative rather than settled. For specifics, the last inspection cited food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and bathrooms.
With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

So I ordered a hashbrown bowl and got no hash browns. Seems like this should have atleast been communicated to me before I found out after I was home .

Amanda is the best waitress ever, if I came in on a friday night and she wasn't here I would feel betrayed. Shes the reason we come here and love coming back!!

I LOVE Waffle House – Super nice people, and great customer service. I like the culture of this place. I feel at home here and enjoy their model. Can’t wait to come here again.

Waffle house breakfast is a sure bet and half the price of Dennys. Nuff said

Clean and comfortable. Staff was top notch and food was splendid! Stopped again, this time on a Saturday morning. Much busier, but staff still on it and took good care of us.

We love WH, only 1 time in the many years of visiting WH's all along the East Coast, have we felt not welcome. We have visited this location many times and it's always been a great experience, along with good food.
