Tasty Waffle Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Jon P.

    Arrived at 10:45 and was seated after a two minute wait. Hostess was cheerful and pleasant. Had hot coffee and water within seconds of sitting down. The menu is enormous! Really unique breakfast selections like an Irish Breakfast burrito catch my eye. It takes me about five minutes to fully peruse the massive menu before I decide to try a breakfast classic; country fried steak and eggs over easy with seasoned hash browns, raisin bread and "crispy" bacon. The waitress is pleasant and attentive but seemed a bit rushed. Which makes sense as the restaurant is packed. Food arrived at the table in under five minutes and the portions were huge! Food- The chop steak was really hot and juicy: A Eggs over easy we're slightly undercooked and a bit chilly: C Seasoned Hashbrowns were crispy and delicious : A Bacon was tasty but not overly crispy: B Raisin Bread was heavenly!: A +++ I will return here and look forward to trying more of the unique menu items!

    2nd visit today, super speedy service! Very impressed with food delivery. Decided to try something new. Would definitely recommend the gyro skillet

    My husband and I love this place! Every time we go, we try a different waffle, pancake, or French toast, and we are never disappointed. The breakfast food here is just delicious. But go for breakfast before 9am on weekends or on a weekday; unless you're okay with waiting to get a table. The service is pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I give it 5 stars because we've eaten here at least 10 times in the past 9 months and we're always happy with the cost, portion, and taste of the food. This place will make you hate Denny's and IHop. Seriously!

    We stayed in town overnight on a trip and just happened across this restaurant. The food was incredibly good, great portion sizes and the best part is that they offer a number of gluten free options. I would definitely stop here again if in the area!

    This is my new favorite breakfast place. The food is good, the portions are amazing and the prices even better. I just only wish they were a little more centrally located than they are. They are tucked away on the far end of Weber road. Typically I wouldn't go past the Walmart. The "home fries" are delish. I love that they have that southern flair going on. They cook the hashbrowns aka home fries with onions and bell peppers. Yum! And when you ask for cheese in your eggs, you get cheese in your eggs! Most places the cheese is barely visible. I have been to this place two days in a row and will probably go back tomorrow. They stay open later than most brunch places but I wish they stayed open at least until 6pm. The waffles would be better considering they have waffle in their name. The waffles are lighter not hearty. Here I can eat the waffle and my meal. Most places I could only eat half of the waffle. The flavor is pretty light. Not too far off in flavor from Eggo waffles except thicker. Definitely will keep coming here as long as they keep their prices low and their portions big. This and their home fries is what sets them apart from other brunch places in the area.

    Our favorite place for breakfast! Fast and friendly service. A great variety on the menu. I always get something different every time. It's nice and clean and we will keep coming back!

    I was headed out of town with my sister and once we were on 55 South, we decided that we better grab something to eat. I had done a recent update on my iPhone so the map wasn't working right and sent us way too far north out of the way, but since everything sounded so good, we spent some extra time on the road looking for it. I'm so glad we did! We had the sweetest waitress! A pregnant woman who was hustling the whole time. And the food was pretty good. Actually the beef barley soup was to die for!!! I shared some with my sissy, but I enjoyed every bite! My French dip sandwich was pretty good too. And I skipped the fries. Don't feel too bad for me since I swapped them out for a side of hash browns with spices, onions and peppers. The prices were reasonable and the restaurant is clean. And that soup....I'd make the trip just for that soup

    My sister and I are headed down to Quincy for a visit with our baby brother at school and we decided to find something for breakfast on our way down. My sister's iPhone update messed up her maps, so after a lovely scenic tour of the area, we finally found this restaurant which is SOUTH OF I-55, just so you know. It's located in a small strip mall and is just a cute place. At first glance, I noticed the restaurant is clean and pretty busy for a Friday morning. They have their specials up on a board in the lobby area which is not listed in the menu, so make sure you take a look at the specials on the board. Stephanie was our server and she was excellent. She was pregnant and obviously works hard for her family. The menu is quite long. Many options for breakfast and lunch! Typically, my sister would be the one to order breakfast and I would order lunch but on this particular occasion, we switched it up. I think it was the beef barley soup that sold her on lunch. That, and I really wanted breakfast but also wanted to taste the soup, so she chose lunch so I could taste the soup. What a great sister I have! The breakfast was yummy. Nothing really great or memorable about it except I really enjoyed their pancakes. I not typically a big fan of anyone's pancakes except my mother's but that day, I ate more of my pancakes than I think I have ever before in any restaurant. My sister got a French dip sandwich and changed the fries to their seasoned breakfast potatoes and beef barley soup. The soup was...well, lets just say, I would drive all the way back here from Schaumburg for that soup alone! It was wonderful and that's an understatement. She seemed pleased with her sandwich of choice and the potatoes, while she liked them, they didn't do much for me. The pricing is perfectly acceptable. The staff was friendly. My only complaint about service was that we sat with dirty dishes on our table for the entire length of our visit. I would have liked to have seen the dishes cleared before the check was presented or at least before we left but this did not happen. I will be back. I don't know when because I practically am never in the area, but it's on my list to visit again next time I'm down that way!

    Been back a number of times and have been very happy with each new experience. I get stuck with the specials and never had a waffle before today's "free waffles"for their 8th anniversary. Pumpkin French Toast and Pumpkin Pancakes are fantastic and are seasonal. Friendly staff, cheerful owner and management.

    I've been here multiple times and it gets better every time! Easy to find location and usually get seated relatively quick, even on busy days. My boyfriend and I went here yesterday for breakfast and it was great! Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and patient when we couldn't decide what to get. I ended up having the tropical waffle- delicious and fresh!! Boyfriend got some kind of egg dish.. He liked it but was even more thrilled that they put cheese on his hashbrowns and the toast was buttered and hot. Typically I'm a bit of a coffee snob but Tasty Waffle's coffee is surprisingly good! Both my boyfriend and I were well fed and satisfied for under $30, we will definitely return sometime!

    I ordered a sun dried tomato omelet with hash browns and pancakes. The food was awful. The tomatoes tasted stale and the whole omelet was overcooked. I ordered their seasoned hash browns. Not crisp at all and very salty. Pancakes had no flavor and were served with some really bad butter that tasted like lard. Finally, I don't think a waffle specialty restaurant should serve log cabin syrup. At least offer real maple syrup! Will avoid from now on without a doubt!

  • Moon D.

    Really fresh and good good food. A great choice especially for breakfast. I have not eaten lunch here yet but I'm guessing it's just as good.

    The Chicken fried chicken is just perfect!! Perfecto! You might want to try chopsteak with 2 eggs too.

  • Diana K.

    I have been here multiple times! I love their food and their service has been amazing until recently. I think they are just short staffed but I highly recommend their Chicken and Waffles!

    Went for the first time on Saturday for breakfast and the skillet I ordered was delicious! Friendly staff and unlimited coffee refills. I expected there to be a wait as it was a Saturday morning (9am), but we were seated right away.

  • Mohamed B.

    Love coming here to eat. One of the best things about this place is that you get to order lunch during dinner. It's basically like a much higher quality Denny's. But my favorite. Thing to get is the skirt stake with eggs and obviously coffee. They have a wide range of flavors.

  • Adri R.

    Very good waffle house on weber road. Stopped her on my way to midway airpory. Thought iy was the crispy waffle from shorewood....but it is obviously a different place. I ate health food....so I cant attest for yumminess....but my brother, niece and sister inlaw had amazing pancakes, eggs, buscuits and gravy

  • Nancy S.

    This place is my favorite breakfast/lunch place when I come back to visit. Whatever you order you can't go wrong. The portions are big, service is friendly,prices are great. The staff is always patient with my little guys and teens....never rude. Wish they had dinner hours.

    Normally, I'm never out in this neck of the woods, but I was out here yesterday for my sister-in-law's college graduation ceremony. Had a late brunch here. The hostess was very friendly when we went in, but I found it a little odd when she asked if there were any children in our dining party. Perhaps they purposely put all the guests with kids on one side of the room? We were seated promptly, and our server came by and asked what we'd like to drink. The menu here is crazy big. There were at least a dozen pages, maybe more and each of them crammed full of options. Usually I know what I want within five minutes, but the size of the menu meant we needed more that just five minutes to decide! It's nice to have choices, but I actually found it more of a negative to have so many options to sort through. I wound up going with the bacon waffle. My husband had the club sandwich with waffle fries. There were only two other parties dining when we got there, so our order came out relatively promptly considering there were six of us. My waffle was delicious, a delightful combination of sweet and savory. I'm the kind of person who loves the salty/sweet combination, so whether it's bacon waffles, fleur de sel ice cream or yoghurt dipped pretzels, there's a 99.9% chance I'm going to dig it. My husband wasn't too crazy about his club sandwich - his main issue was the ham. It wasn't the greatest quality, and made the sandwich "just okay". According to him, had they used a better cut of ham it would have made the sandwich a lot more enjoyable. This is the kind of thing I would term a "stupid shortcut". Some businesses use cheaper ingredients so their overall profit is bigger, but it means that customers are getting a substandard product. I'm happy to pay more for better ingredients and walk away feeling satisfied I've gotten a good meal rather than pay less and receive a sub-par item. While our server was prompt, she was weirdly inconsistent. She brought me a soda refill before I'd finished my first drink, but my husband had to ask her twice to get him a refill. She'd clear away some of our used plates but leave others on the table. It wasn't a big deal, it was just weird especially since they weren't that busy. All in all, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back here again. The bacon waffle was tasty and a neat idea, but the fact this place is so far away, combined with all the inconsistencies about this place would encourage me to look elsewhere. TL;dr: Solid breakfast food, lunch items need work. Technically nothing wrong with the place, but inconsistency in quality & service means I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Love this place great for breakfast or lunch. Have been going there for years the staff is very friendly and attentive. You have may long waits on the weekends due the quality of the food but it is worth the wait. Try the French toast with cream cheese and glazed blueberries one of my favorites.

    (5)
  • Alysa T.

    The food was so good and so fresh! Unfortunately the service was not as impressive. Our server checked on us one time during the meal, I finally got up and left after waiting ten minutes for a to go box. This would have made sense if the restaurant was busy but it wasn't. I may go back but only because the food was so good.

  • Andrew E.

    The food and service here was excellent! By far the best burger I've had in a very long time. Our waitress was quick, on point and friendly. The prices are reasonable and definitely warrants another visit in the future. Over all, I'm very satisfied. Would recommend.

  • Gabriela T.

    Everything we tried was mediocre, to be honest. My veggie sandwich was especially nasty. I don't know. I went with a group of people and none of us liked it. Two stars only because the waffle sundae my friend got was decent, but we all ended up sharing it.

  • Samantha H.

    I'm from Nevada and I've eaten here three times...The Tasty Waffle hasn't disappointed me yet!! The waffles are fluffy, light, and delicious. I also particularly like the Florentine Benedict and the Gyro Skillet. Great service and a great atmosphere--this has become my go-to brunch place whenever I visit my family in Illinois. Highly recommend!

    I went on a Sunday after the morning crowd. The tables were really sticky, waitress was nice, but the food was blah and hash browns were burned. I don't think I'll be coming back.

  • Cal E.

    I had an olive burger deluxe a couple days ago but it was the Strawberry Waffle that I really wanted! Today I got my wish. It was special, evem came with whipped butter and hot syrup without having to ask. ROMEOVILLE , the right name for a place that has waffles you'll love.

  • Erin M.

    Great menu, amazing food - I don't live in the area, so it is a nice little treat to visit the Tasty Waffle. I am never disappointed; consistently good food and great service. I crave the Manhattan, which is a variation of a benedict - Two poached eggs on an English muffin with cappocollo, asparagus, sun-dried tomato, feta cheese and hollandaise sauce, mmm!!! I will have to warn you though, the location is a small, but open room, which does not provide a peaceful setting - the noise can be issue, depending on when you dine. However this is not enough of a concern to keep me from coming back

  • Ramone B.

    I woke with a craving for pancakes, and the tasty waffle is where we went!! They were busier than all hell, but we got in and out pretty quick. I went for the skirt steak, eggs, and two pancakes with a plate of fruit. It was all very good. I appreciated the fact that the tasty waffle uses REAL eggs. I hate it when restaurants use powdered mash potatoes, egg mix from a carton, and pre cooked bacon, but yet charge higher prices! If I want cheap nasty breakfast I will go to McDonalds and save my money!! Anyhow I ordered my steak medium and it was perfect. That steak tasted so GOOD with my sunny side up eggs!! The pancakes were good also! They didn't need to be coated with butter or syrup. I will definitely go back! I want to try lunch next time. But that will have to be when I have another splurge day!! Until next time my friends!!!

  • Zach J.

    This place is not bad, I have had the Cuban sandwhich which was ok, but you can't expect much more. The pasta soup I had was really good. I also came here on another occasion and I enjoyed their eggs, sausage, and hash browns it's not too bad in here and the service is really good

  • Angie A.

    Food is phenomenal! Anything you order from the menu I guarantee you won't be disapointed! I've been here a few times already never had a complaint about the service but today was the exception, after waitting for almost 10mins for any waitress to aknowledge us

  • Terri R.

    This place used to be the Crispy Waffle. The partners broke up and the Shorewood location got to keep the name and this location is now the Tasty Waffle. Same menu and same great service as before. We always get the country skillet and my daughter likes the pancakes. They have a wide variety of breads for your toast options. My husband says the coffee is fantastic. The prices are a little more reasonable than Southern Belle. I have never had anything but breakfast here but I do believe I will try lunch here soon.

  • Monica W.

    Best breakfast I ever had, very consistent. Brought my mom, coworker, and brother on separate occasions, every time the come over they want to go back. Great service, they know how to treat customers. Sunday, the wait is out the door but the time goes by fast because they move. Trust me its worth the wait.

    BAD TASTE in my mouth at the previously enjoyable Tasty Waffle. My family and I have eaten here over a period of 4 years at least 3x a month. Today's Mother's Day breakfast was lousy on many, many levels. We got there before it got busy -- plenty of empty tables at 8am. Service started out promising but then deteriorated. We asked our server for 2 different kinds of hot sauce, which she promised to bring on 3 separate occasions and never did bring any. Had to wait for butter, syrup and coffee. We had to flag down various servers for coffee refills because our server would disappear for long periods of time. During the time that we waited 20 minutes for our check, people from the waiting area could have been seated and creating income for the jerk of an owner. When I went to pay our bill, the cashier took it and placed it off to the side while she took a lengthy carry out order from someone from the waiting area. After standing there for 2 minutes while the owner stood next to the cashier surveying his dominion, I decided that I had PLENTY OF TIME to use the ladies room. When I came back to the cashier, I asked her if she was now ready to take my money. She said yes & when I started to explain about the lack of service today, the owner interrupted me by saying in a thick Greek accent "Happy Mother's Day. Now you pay. Good-bye." Well, good-bye to you and your attitude. I have plenty of other good quality restaurants to choose from in my area. Your place just happened to be on the way to visit our mother's grave for Mother's Day. If the owner had taken the time to listen to me about today's service, I would have gone back after awhile. In fact I wrote that on the back of the bill. Now I am NEVER GOING BACK because this guy is great at taking your money but not good at managing a business. GO TO George's, Blueberry Hill Cafe or anywhere they have better food, service and appreciate customer feedback without giving you a nasty attitude.

    The wait wasn't that long, but it was 12:30 when we got there. The server was really nice & the food came out quickly. I had eggs and waffles & the waffles were really good. Only complaint (& this wasn't mine but my friend) that the large OJ isn't large size & it's $3.49/glass. Overall great food & service. Would def go back & would like to try the crepes!!

    Solid breakfast stop when visiting my parents home. I can see why it's their favorite place to go in the morning. It doesn't feel like a chain. Good variations of standard breakfast food and the classics as well.

  • Anna G.

    Love this place. Great service & great food. I love their paninis for lunch & skillets for breakfast. Their stuffed French toast is so good too!!! We like to go here as a family for breakfast & lunch because they always have something for everybody. Nina & Stefanie are great waitresses! My dad would probably say the only thing that would make this place better is a dessert menu.

    I gotta be honest. Being from just outside Dallas, I wasn't expecting to be impressed by food in Crest Hill, Romeoville, or any of the other small neighboring towns (that I might add are wonderfully refreshing in contrast to the hustle and bustle of Big D). If I had a gem like this place within 5 miles of my house, I'd need to renew my gym membership. I ordered the banana nut waffles, which were outstanding. The waffle itself had wonderful flavor, and there was no shortage of pecans sprinkled throughout. With some banana slices on top and a hefty dollop of whipped cream, there's not much room for improvement. Add a side of two perfectly scrambled eggs (not runny, but not overdone), and dare I say I'm a bit impressed. The depth of the menu is surprising. Everything from pancakes, waffles, and French toast to benedicts, scrambles, and even a sprinkling of healthy fare. My local friend swears by the Florentine benedict, which says a lot for a place with "waffle" right in the name... I'd expected the waffles to be great and everything else to be just average, but turns out they have more than just good waffles! PS - they do not take Amex

    Unexpected stars: waffle fries, sandwiches, and their soups. These are all utterly fantastic, which was quite unexpected. Breakfast is good. Not life transforming, but really damn good. It's definitely up there for the 'burbs, and you will find something that suits every palate. It's quite good overall, and service is fast as well as pleasant. The staff is congenial, helpful, and competent. They are all really warm and friendly folk, and they make the dining experience both welcoming and expedient without rushing you.

    This place came highly recommended by a friend that lives right near this place, so we just had to try it out. I met her here today with 2 others and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The menu is huge, so everyone is sure to be pleased with something. I had the pumpkin pancakes, and I love all things pumpkin, and they were some of the best pancakes I have ever had. Wow!!! My friend that recommended this place had her favorite carrot cake waffle, and she was happy as can be! The other 2 both had omelets with hash browns which were huge and loaded with veggies. They looked wonderful! This place is in a strip mall, but there is tons of room! Many tables and large groups can be accommodated. It was busy at 10am, but there was also no wait. Service was attentive and friendly and never did we feel rushed! I drink a lot of coffee and never did I run out and it was constantly hot, which was impressive since we sat there for 2.5 hours chatting!

    We come here about 3 times a month for breakfast and sometimes it gets crowded on Sundays when church lets out, but they seem to do a quick turn around here. No waiting more than 25 min or so. I usually always get the steak skillet. OMG. Yummy. More than enough food too with either a side of pancakes or toast. Omlettes are huge. Service is quick & friendly. Good coffee...and they even have the little flavored creamers on the table. Small, petty detail...but I like those!! Makes a difference when you have to drink plain ol' restaurant coffee.

  • Humera S.

    I went to this place because of all the great reviews I read on Yelp and I loved everything I ordered. The portion sizes are huge! I could only eat 2 of 4 pieces of my Almond Coconut French Toast which made me sad because it was so good! It was busy the whole time I was their, people were continuously trickling in and the serves was great. I liked the decor, even though it is simple the large glass window in the front makes the room feel welcoming and comfortable.

  • Natalie F.

    This place is super cute inside and has great food! I went here with my parents for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. They are hooked on the breakfast and lunch food here. They have a pretty good size menu. I ordered the chicken noodle soup which was really good. I also ordered the chicken, mozz cheese and pesto mayo panini. It came with a side choice so since I was already being bad I got the waffle fries. The portion was BIG which is fine. You get your $$$ worth. I took half home with me. It was so good. I enjoyed my first time there and the next time I am out that direction for a visit with family I may have to try the breakfast food I hear about. Hope this place makes it!

    Amazing skirt steak sandwich. The bus skirt steak I ever had tasted like something from a high end restaurant.

    Been here multiple times for breakfast and each time the food is on point. My favorite is by far their waffles especially the bacon waffle...little pieces of bacon cooked into your waffle. Absolutely delicious each and every time!! Definitely will keep coming back whenever I'm in the area. You can't go wrong here with the food or the great staff!!

    Not a fan of the pancakes. Taste quite like bis quick. Also, I really don't like the syrup. The service was pleasant and the atmosphere was nice. Friendly waitress and also the skillets were good. :)

  • Angela D.

    Solid breakfast, definitely diner style so a bit greasy and somewhat bland. Lots of waffle, pancake and egg options. It has just about everything you could want actually, and all very reasonably priced. Avoid the spinach unless you like frozen spinach in your waffles which then makes it very watery. Solid, but not what I'd call high quality or particularly creative. Coffee is weak but drinkable, nice bonus that they put flavored creamers on the table to perk up the coffee. Maybe I am just spoiled by all the fabcy brunch places in my neighborhood. Get there early or late (based on normal time for the meal you're aiming for) unless you want to have a long wait. The place is VERY popular and there's not a ton of competition in the immediate vicinity if you want other options. Definitely recommend if you want a good, cheap meal and you are in the area.

    Consistently delicious breakfast. The place is packed on the weekends when I go and the food still comes out quick and perfect. Vast menu, typical of Greek restaurants. Anyone who's disappointed in the food at this place must be impossible to please. These guys have a goldmine on their hands

  • Meg S.

    Breakfast is my favorite thing ever. So I feel like if I'm gonna go somewhere for breakfast or brunch then they better get it right. I've had good food here, except for the pancakes. I'm a pancake girl. I know their specialty is waffles but seriously. Their pancakes have no taste and were so dry that my mouth was dry for hours after eating them. We go there sometimes mainly because it's a halfway point between us and my parents.

    Wow! Have enjoyed breakfast or lunch here at least 6 times and it just gets better and better. The menu is huge, portions are huge and everything always tastes great. The restaurant is very clean and bright, and it's just a joy to visit. I noticed the owner walking about the restaurant making sure customers were taken care of-- and every waitress I've had was very helpful. I enjoyed a huge Buffalo Chicken wrap, along with Chicken Noodle soup which were as fresh as could be. The BBQ Pork Wrap is incredible (have had it my last 3 visits). I also tried the Skirt Steak Sandwich which was PHENOMENAL! This has to be the best place to eat in the Romeoville area...oh, and the service is really good. Coffee is awesome! And parking is easy...cool.

    This restaurant changed it's name to TASTY WAFFLE several months ago, but the waffles remain as crispy and delicious as ever. This is our go-to place for breakfast and lunch, and luckily it's 5 minutes from our house. Word of caution - DO NOT attempt to eat here on Sunday mornings after 9:00 am or you will be waiting with hordes of other people, many with 2 or 3 generations in tow. They are efficient and do you seated as quickly as possible, but the wait can be long. That said, try any other day. It's busy, but rarely have we had to wait. The place is quite large and has booths around the whole room which are more comfortable than the tables that are rather packed in. You can't miss with the waffles here obviously. They have many varieties, served with fruit, mounds of whipped cream (ask for it on the side to preserve your crispy waffle), nuts,, etc. They run daily specials and if you are lucky enough to be there when they have the chocolate waffle with white chocolate sauce and raspberries, order it....so divine...more like dessert. Waffles can also be made with whole wheat floor. Hubby likes their mounding breakfast skillets filled with eggs and all kinds of meat options, plus hash browns. Omelets are huge too and another good choice for egg lovers. The gyros skillet is well done, reflecting the Greek heritage of the owners. French toast and crepe options are way above average too. Portion sizes are extremely generous here and the service is very efficient and friendly. They keep the coffee coming. They also have an extensive lunch menu of salads, wraps, sandwiches and feature two homemade soups each day. The cream of mushroom(well really any soup with the cream base) is scrumptious. Most lunches come with a large bowl of soup! Be sure to opt for the waffle fries which are nicely seasoned and crispy. Overall, a great place if you live in the area, are visiting Lewis University which is close by or just happen to get lost in the sw burbs!

    The new name Tasty Waffle says even more about their food than Crispy Waffle. We frequent this establishment and enjoy the variety and flavor that comes with each visit. The staff is always courteous and helpful and they even greet our large parties with a smile when my whole family comes to breakfast (typically about 12 of us). I would gladly recommend Tasty Waffle to my friends and neighbors for a great dining experience.

    FYI: they recently changed to the "Tasty Waffle." New ownership? Dunno. Haven't gotten a chance to get over there to see what may have changed (I guess the amount of crispiness...). I hope not the chefs!

    Be ready for a wait on weekends at peak hours, appears to be a long line but it actually moves quite fast. And yes, your food will be worth the wait. Breakfast options but also usual diner options. It's all good to the point that I'm not sure what to recommend. Good food, good service, good experience. The only small downside for me I just like my coffee stronger than what is being served here but the quality of the omelets, pancakes, hashbrown... make it up, no problem.

    I enjoy their food, BUT DON'T ask for any BBQ sauce. I did and was charged 80 cents for a 2 ox plastic container that was half full. I complained, but to no avail. At that price, you are paying $64 per gallon before the tax.

    I don't know what it is about this place, but I love eating breakfast here. I will say the name does not lie. Thier Waffles are thin, but crispy and yummy. I'm not a fan of soggy syruped waffles, so this takes the cake, Some sweetness and crunch! Menu is very affordable and a good place to hit while just chit chatting with friends for even a nice family place also

    Crispy Waffle... If I didn't care about an impending heart attack, I would eat here constantly. I believe it's still a little new, so expect it to be crowded, and it only stays open until about 4p.m. (though those could just be the holiday hours). This place is proof that you CAN be a foodie in the suburbs. I've been here only a handful of times so far, but every visit has been above and beyond satisfactory (and yummy). The servers are very sweet and attentive, even when the place is bustling. If you have trouble making your way through the menu (they have quite a few lunch items as well), they are more than happy to suggest a favorite. I'm more of a savory breakfast person, so my favorite item would have to be the navajo skillet. I have also tried the stuffed french toast, crepes, and stuffed pineapple. Oh, and though I subscribe to the notion that "fried is fried is fried," they do have great waffle fries. EVERYTHING is delicious. The perfect place for a group breakfast after a weekend of "celebration." If I'm being too subtle...It's good for a hangover.

    I ate here for the first time and I totally intend to go back as often as I can. I had the banana pecan French toast. I was worried that I would get a ton of banana but this was not the case. They were perfectly proportioned and perfectly cooked as well! Can't wait to go back! Went back again and got the most perfectly cooked waffles ever! My Girlfriend got the pumpkin pancakes and i regretted not getting them myself. Soooo goood!

    The chef starts the soup of the day at 6 am. It's ready by 8:30 am. This guy knows how to make soup! The beef vegetable and cream of wild rice are my favs. I order the soup and sandwich for breakfast. It's only $5.50.

    Everyone who knows me knows that breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I am always on the lookout for new breakfast spots. I have found a good one in the SW suburbs. I can't give this place much for atmosphere. It is a very open place with high ceilings that almost reminds me of a warehouse. The décor is at a minimum also. Our server was friendly and she did a good job of taking care of us. The menu here is quite extensive. They seem to focus mainly on griddle items: pancakes, crepes, blintzes, waffles, etc... I decided on some basic eggs and gyro meat. Everything was outstanding! I ordered my hash browns with onions and peppers and everything was cooked up just to my specifications. The portion size was massive too. I definitely received my moneys worth. I have no complaints at all.

    I went back to Crispy Waffle, and I think it's my new favorite place to eat in the Romeoville area. There really aren't that many restaurants around that satisfy you're family restaurant craving. I like that the owners are so friendly and polite and ask how your food is. Their service is fast and friendly. I love their breakfast and especially their waffles.

    We tried this breakfast place on our last visit to Illinois and I'd definitely go back. The menu had enough to satisfy everyone's tastes, including some very creative specials (crab cake eggs benedict!). The food all came out great, the staff is awesome (my coffee cup never went past half-way empty), and the price is just right!

  • Amanda R.

    Best breakfast around! Don't be pushed away from the bad service, most of the waitresses are great, just crabby owners. But the food is too good! It's the only breakfast joint I take advantage of in the area!

    Good stuff, every meal is served to perfection, the wait staff will never refill your beverage unless you hunt them down. That is the only negative that I can find, the decor is nice, and the staff is friendly.

    After reading previous reviews I had very high expectations for Crispy Waffle. I left feeling very disappointed. I ordered an omelet which they forgot to put cheese in. The waitress seemed irritated with the fact that I wanted a new one. I felt that the pancakes were mediocre. Nothing special. I'm not ruling this place out all together. Its very possible that they were having an off day. But it was just ok---2 stars.

    The place was packed at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday but, not can't find an empty table packed. Got the Gypsy Skillet for $9.45 which contained eggs, hash browns, sausage, ham, & cheese & came with a short stack (2) of pancakes which is great for people who can't decide what to order but, want a little of everything. They had a lot of old people when we came in with a line of families waiting to get in by the time we left so try to avoid this place at around 11-12 ish. Service was very quick and attentive. Took about 7 minutes for our food to arrive.

    there's a reason this place is always crowded. the food is amazing! its nice to go somewhere for breakfast and see something unique on the menu. they have a great selection. while the service is nothing to write home about, the food makes up for it. they give you so much food! i don't live anywhere near this place, but i don't mind the drive.

    I've only been here twice, both time for breakfast and it's been great both times. The only issue it now BUSY they are, there is always a wait. However, that's a good thing because it just means it's good. If you haven't tried their orange juice, it's a must.

    I have eaten here many times and the food and service is always excellent. I would give it 5 stars, but they do not accept reservations, even for larger parties. It is my favorite breakfast restaurant ~hands down!!

    The food is always great. Expect a line on weekends, but worth the wait. The service is good too, considering how busy they usually are.

    You'll want to get here pretty early on a Saturday or Sunday to avoid the rush, but even if you're a late riser, they turn tables quickly and it's worth the wait. The interior has kind of a cool loft feeling (unexpected in a strip mall). This place has an enormous menu and I've yet to encounter anything that wasn't breakfast perfection. The waffles, of course, are excellent (otherwise, poor name choice), but the egg-based breakfasts (skillets, omelets) are excellent as well.

    Crispy waffle in Romeoville, which is now tasty waffle, is an excellent breakfast spot. I read all of these reviews and everyone is dead on with all of their comments. My family goes there every other Sunday and the people are great and friendly. If you get there and you see a lot of people waiting don't turn away because the turn over on tables there ate quick. As for the food, we think it's great. You order from a huge menu and before you know it it's at your table and you will always have some to take home. Great place and highly recommended.

    We go here quite often, mostly because it's so close to home and we have two little kids so driving farther out is not worth it most times. :) The food is good. I mostly order the omelets. There are a couple places in the area that I think make a tastier omelet, if I'm being honest. The service is always awesome, never have a problem in that department. The waitresses have great attitudes and are almost always on the ball when it comes to filling additional requests. Many critics tend to complain about the owner and how he aggressively gets tables cleared for the next customer. I think that is just good business. When you go to a breakfast place on a Saturday or Sunday, this is their time to really make their money. Plus, there's nothing worse than waiting in a cramped restaurant lobby (especially with kids) to get a table. They run this restaurant like a machine and everyone gets in and out. If you're looking to spend 3 hours at a restaurant, this probably isn't the place for you. Definitely worth a visit if you live in the area or are passing by.

    Like the others said, get here early or expect a line. It's popular because it's so darn good. My skillet was amazing and I didn't leave a crumb. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. Quite honestly, it's the best restaurant in the area.

  • Ralph H.

    Very good options and affordable. Lots of Sauces, marmalades, coffee creamers. Pretty quiet on a Saturday at 2:30pm. Good folks. They have a separate menu board with items not on the regular menu. I got the pulled pork Baja skillet which was good size and had lots of ingredients. The wife got the French toast.

  • Sharita R.

    This breakfast house is definitely the best in Romeoville. The service is always top notch, the waitresses are friendly, the food is delicious and the prices can't be beat! Great daily soups and the breakfast skillets are my favorite. Portions are more than adequate; I always leave with some form of leftovers. Go ahead and bring the whole family-the place is kid friendly without being overrun with noise. If you go, try the Popeye skillet or any of the soups. If you become a regular, usually the waitresses will remember your order preferences!

    This place has some what of a wait on the weekends, but boy is it worth it! I had the Santa Fe skillet which was really tasty. I would highly recommend stopping by this place if you are in the area.

  • Will S.

    Great food but not so great service. Server wouldn't let us substitute a waffle in lieu of a pancake for a specific meal, even after we offered to pay to upgrade. Then when we said we didn't want the included pancake/toast option and would just take a side order of a waffle she got grouchy because we insisted she not bring the item we did not want. Then, she kept stopping by to offer more coffee, which normally is a nice thing - except we told her three times to please stop offering more coffee because we didn't want more.

    Passed by this place a week ago, read the reviews and thought I would give it try. Well, I tried today and was underwhelmed. Service was good. I ordered the plain waffle combo consisting of a waffle, eggs w/cheese, and 3 sausage link. And it all tasted just plain. With Waffle in the name I was expecting to taste a waffle that I would want to come back for. Not! SInce this is a really simple meal there really isn't too much to make it an outstanding dish. However, the price was way too expensive. $10.00 is too much for such a simple meal.

    Checked out this establishment based off of all the high reviews by fellow Yelpers. The moment you walk into the restaurant you will notice the open space, high ceilings, simple art decor, and delicious sweet smells of waffles. My visit was on a Wednesday, right at noon. Walked in the door and was immediately greeted by the host and directed to a booth(speedy service!). Due to a weekday, I am presuming that it doesn't get slammed like most places in urban areas. Sat down and was promptly greeted by the server, asking us how we were today and that she would be back to check on us. The menu is pretty comprehensive. I liked how it's indexed so that you don't have an entire novel of a book. The menu is also laminated and clean. I've gone to places that hand you dirty sticky menus. This menu was clean. We had studied their menu online before showing up, so we were ready to order when the server came back to take our drink orders. Please note that the prices on the menu they have on their website is dated. The two things we ordered were off by $0.20 difference between the online menu and the actual menu. Chicken and Waffles: You get a delicious golden waffle cooked to perfection... crispy edges, soft chewy insides. The butter, maple syrup, and honey mustard is brought out on the side, in case you're health conscious. The waffle comes with 3 lightly battered chicken strips that has the perfect salty, crispy/crunchy, juicy/tender combination. It is deep fried, but it doesn't leave you feeling greasy. Chicken Fried Chicken: You get your choice of a side of hash browns, grits, or fruit. In addition, you also get your choice of pancakes or toast. I went with fruit ( freshly SLICED cantaloupe, honey dew, pineapple & watermelon) and white toast with butter. The chicken fried chicken is delicately breaded, then deep fried to it's golden honey color. A good heaping of their house made sausage gravy is plopped on. I had expected the chicken strip and CFC to have the same breading/seasoning, but was pleasantly surprised that they are worlds apart and delicious in their own unique ways. Overall, the food was delicious, the portions are large. We had to box leftovers to take home. The service was fast and friendly. The establishment is clean, large, and decorated tastefully. There is a nice big parking lot in front. The reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 star is because of one little nuance like asking for extra gravy was an additional $0.75 charge, which was not listed on the menu.
