Editorial Review for The Waffle – by Christine Landry
In Short
With a nod to the famed waffle chain The Waffle House, this Sunset Strip diner keeps it kitschy-cool with an easygoing attitude and mod twist. The morning crowd includes 20-somethings tending hangovers with coffee and carbs as well as families with babies in tow. You can opt for eggs and other breakfast or lunch fare, but the waffles are where it's at. Try one with Applewood bacon baked inside, or another with blueberry sauce and lemon curd, or a multigrain version with yogurt and fresh fruit. If you've got a different sort of breakfast in mind, grab a cocktail in the upstairs bar--just be warned it gets pretty packed on weekends during the wee hours when all the bars have closed.

I ordered a vegan cobb and asked for real cheese on the side. They brought shredded cheddar - for a cobb? Strange and doesn't really work. The sticky bun waffle was good but nothing to make you go running.

This is not a fake review or one motivated ulteriorly. Eating at The Waffle by far the most terrible dining experience I've had in Los Angeles. My eggs and chili were disgusting. Seriously, seriously unreal that they would serve that in ANY restaurant. Eggs were overcooked and rubbery. The chili was so greasy, so bland. It had giant chunks of overcooked, barely-ground meat. My co-diner's waffle was on par with an Eggo. I'd say that the service was bad, but there wasn't really anyone servicing our table. We waited 30 mins for our two meals. There was no hostess. All the patrons just wandered around till someone showed them to a table. Save your money, buy some Eggos, and fly to the South for Waffle house. One plus: the bloody mary was good.
Pros: bloody mary
Cons: everything else
