More Than Waffles

Good food and good staff My favorite place! ...I love eat breakfast with family every Sunday

Took the day off to rest and have breakfast with my wife. We haven't been at More Than Waffles for several years. Always enjoyed going.The staff is always friendly despite being busy all the time. It's a family owned and operated business with many of their employees being there for many years.The place is located in lower level of Encino Commons plaza. There plenty of parking in a private lot as well as covered underground parking, and metered street parking.The place is laid back and has a local neighborhood comfortable feel.We ordered Chorizo scramble and Belgium Waffle combo that comes with 2 eggs (cooked over easy), and 2 sausage patties. Also a cup of beef chili.For drinks we had fresh OJ and latte.

I don't eat out often, and it had been a while since I'd eaten at More Than Waffles. I remembered it being outstanding, so I invited my Mom and Sister to breakfast. I had a lot I wanted to say to them, so I wanted them to just enjoy their meal and listen as I spoke.I enjoy breakfast sandwiches, and I ordered the only one they had on their menu. It was turkey bacon and egg white on 9 grain whole wheat bread. I substituted for whole egg--no problem.I had forgotten they serve vanilla flavored coffee here, but they have regular too--no problem.Outside seating, in the shade--no problem.Had 3 different people check on us for anything to drink--above and beyond.I found our server Kristal to be exceptional. They way she answered our questions, her tone, her interest in offering excellent service. I noted this to my Sister, and she said "well I think that's her job."This was my younger Sister that has never served tables, so I knew that I knew better.The next time I saw Kristal, I asked her if she could tell us how long had she has been a server. The question caught her a bit off guard, but she graciously and happily replied 11 years.I looked at my Sister and said, "See?"She looks like she's in high school--a super sweet young lady--but I could also sense absolute and thorough professionalism in her answers to my inquiries. Thoughtful and thorough.I don't know what Kristal is paid but she's worth every cent and is worthy of whatever raise MTW can afford, because she helps make their business look like one of the best in town.I was talking so much to my fam, I didn't get to savor my sandwich or my house potatoes. I just ate because I was supposed to eat. I only ate half and took the rest to go.It's nighttime now, and I just sat down to eat my leftovers. I didn't put them in the fridge because I didn't want to have to re-heat. I enjoyed them at room temp.So good. So damn good. This is the problem with eating out, I might love it and then I can't stop craving. And the potatoes? Goodness gracious. MOUTH WATERING. Ketchup works, but definitely not necessary. So so good!And their to-go boxes are biodegradable Man! 5 STARS. 5 MOTHERLOVING STARS.

One word comes to mind when I think of More Than Waffles, CONSISTENT. When I tell people to go here, I never worry about IF they will like it because they always do! The staff is always friendly, the food always comes out quickly, hot, and fresh! The outdoor seating provides a nice vibe with the water fountain. They even have fans for hot days, and heaters for when it's cold. If you're wondering if you should go, just do it.

I came here for breakfast with my dad on his recommendation and we both loved this place! I cannot start my review with anything else before noting how excellent and nice the customer service is here!! Our waiter was so polite and attentive! This feels and is decorated like an old school mom and pop breakfast restaurant and it just warmed my heart. Veggie Omelette w/ waffles 4.5/5, this was so big and filling! I liked the veggie omelette that was jam packed with freshly cooked veggies but it had a bit too much cheese for my preference. The waffles are to die for omg they are light and fluffy and the waitress brought over some fresh strawberry jam that paired so beautiful with the waffles.Blueberry waffles 5/5, my dad ordered this and he was obsessed! it does come w a heavy dose of whipped cream but you can remove this to your preference

Love this place! Was my second time here on a Sunday! The service was so fast per usual! The food was so delicious we got the eggs Benedict, the heavenly French toast, which was SOOO heavenly!! The iced vanilla latte was so good the side of sausage was delicious as well! Always a great time coming here!

There's nothing better than a great breakfast. We went to More Than Waffles around 9:30, and to our surprise, there wasn't much of a wait for a Saturday morning. We were seated promptly. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but we chose indoors since it was a bit chilly. They did have heaters outside for those who wanted to dine outdoors. Our waitress, Katerina, was exceptional--very attentive and kind. The food came out quickly too! I had the Lox Benedict and Nutella Waffles. I'm always up for a good Benedict, and this one didn't disappoint. The flavors were well-balanced, and the waffles were perfectly fluffy--not dense like at other places. I'll definitely stop by again to try more of their waffles or Benedicts!

I know that the name is More Than Waffles, which bodes well for people who don't like waffles... but I do, and I really wanted to try one from here. The restaurant is in a sort of unexpected place, in my estimation. I definitely didn't realize that the mall here spans back a ways. The big open courtyard is where MTW is, which offers plenty of outdoor seating as well and indoor. I got the strawberry waffle and... wow. I just loved it. I feel like I've had Belgian waffles in the past that were pretty good, but this one was just crispy and fluffy and delicious in ways that can't be beat. Plus the sliced strawberries and the strawberry topping that comes on the side were fresh and delicious. I've told my friends already, so now I'm telling Yelp: you've gotta try this place.

More Than Waffles is an unique breakfast establishment located on the ground floor of the Encino Town Center mall. If you take the back side entrance and head down the parking garage to level 1, park there and walk toward the courtyard and you'll undoubtedly come upon a lot of people waiting for breakfast/brunch, especially on the weekends. Definitely get your name on the waiting list as soon as possible or the wait can get long. The ambiance is kind of a combination of an underground garden meets your grandmother's dining room. There's not a lot of natural light if you wind up sitting inside, but you're not here for the ambiance. You're here for the food. More specifically you're here for their waffles. It's decadent and delicious with all kinds of toppings which will definitely spike your blood sugar. However, if you're not into sweets you're still taken care of as they have an extensive classical brunch menu of eggs cooked to order and traditional breakfast items. Was it the best waffle I've ever tasted? Probably not, but then again it's all subjective. What I can say is you will definitely leave here full...most likely taking a doggie bag home with you. If that's what you're looking for then hands down More Than Waffles will meet your needs and even exceed them.

The food is incredible, I love the walnut pecan waffle , it comes with an abundance of homemade whipped cream and the rich syrup on the side , just perfect. The service is amazing, friendly & fast . Feels like you're at home when inside or in a nice garden with fountains when outside , really pleasant either way .
