What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 12 reviews more than any other: front-of-house. Where the staff comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.5, so it reads as a strength. How long an order takes follows at 42% of reviews, where ratings average 4.8.

Whether food comes out hot shows up in 25% of reviews as well, averaging 3.7. Of the 12 rated reviews, 11 sit at four stars or better and 1 at two or below. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 9 of 12.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (98/100), with 2 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That result dates from February 2, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 85% of graded kitchens in Osceola County. What the inspector actually wrote up: cross-contamination and floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Our first time going to a Waffle House. We went to one down the street and turn around and left after it was way too loud and uninviting with music blaring. I drove a few miles down the road and found this one and was pleasantly surprised, the manager was excellent, went over the menu in depth with a few recommendations and talked with the kids. Food was excellent can't wait to go back next time we visit from Detroit

    Everything was absolutely amazing and the man who took our order was the sweetest, my little girl who is very shy felt so comfortable sitting down to eat there. 100 ⭐ and the price was realllly good! In the economy right now it's hard to eat out but they make it affordable ❤️

    Great food and excellent service! Jeff, Linda, and the entire team were a pleasure to be around. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We received our food in record time, and everything was delicious. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—we will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Better to call ahead. You will wait a while for your food as everything is cooked fresh upon order. For management: We were not let down as the food was delicious and my son loved enjoyed it as well. When are you guys going to open up shop in Northern California? We would love you guys out here, definitely!

    Thus is absolutely the best WH in Orlando area. Zack took order, cooked & entertained(very professional). I wish all Waffle House's were this clean. We had chicken sandwich 🥪 😋 & Patty melt with HASHBROWNS(possibly the best we've ever had). I never had to ask for a coffee ☕️ refill. We still had some room left and shared a double Waffle 🧇(The waffles are off the chain!) I highly recommend this WH location.

    The music was so loud you couldn't hear each other talking, ask the waitress if they could turn it down, so they did, one of the waitresses kicked the chair up under the counter. Then the music was turned back up. I order eggs over medium and the white to my eggs was still runny not cooked, so they brought me scrambled eggs, my hash browns and toast was cold, first cup of coffee was cold. My sister had a pecan waffle she said ws good. Would not recommend and would not go back. Waitress was ok.
