So I came to this Waffle House because the one that was down the street by I-20 for whatever reason didn't have any staff on hand or available or the guy was asleep and wasn't taking anybody's orders. The atmosphere was decent, the servers and cooks were very nice towards me when placing my order to go. I normally get a Grit Bowl every time I go to a Waffle House, and the consistency is always different but very enjoyable so with that being said dislocation was spot on and I would definitely go back again.

The team at this location is super friendly and the location has a walk-up order window, which I have not experienced before and thought was pretty nice to offer as an option. I gave the food 3 stars because this is the second time I have ordered a breakfast sandwich and the fried egg was overcooked, which of course takes away from being able to actually taste your food.

First time in Georgia from NY and I said I have to try Waffle House. Every one was very attentive and nice. Asia was my waitress she was very nice and definitely recommended since it’s my first time to try the waffles as well and baby it didn’t disappoint. When I mean they were in there cooking it up. They were cooking! The food tastes so amazing! Definitely worth it!

The cheesesteak hasbrown bowl with eggs added was very good! My only regret, I forgot to mention, to prepare my hashbrowns crispy. I also had a waffle, which was super moist and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was very friendly and made suggestions.

This was my first time at the Waffle House on Thornton Rd. by the Qucktrip. The food was fresh, tasted delicious, and cooked well. The service was excellent! We laughed with the crew the entire time, they were very attentive and fun to talk to.

The store was clean inside and out. The parking lot was well lit and we felt safe. We were greeted when we walked through the door and our order was promptly taken. The tables and menus were not sticky and the music wasn't too loud. All three team members looked to be happy to be there. Our food was piping hot (the grits were not lumpy at that time of the evening, yay) and all of the necessary extras (condiments, utensils etc) were in the bag. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I will visit this location again.
