Ole's Waffles - A Hidden Gem for a Quick and Tasty BreakfastOle's Waffles is a great little spot for a mid-morning breakfast, offering a welcoming atmosphere with plenty of seating, including booths, bar seating, and tables. Despite a short five-minute wait for a table to be cleared, the experience was well worth it.The service here is impressive--friendly, efficient, and attentive. The staff knows their regulars, which adds a personal touch to the dining experience. What stood out most was how fast everything was prepared. We placed our order, and within five minutes, our food was at the table--hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered.I ordered the early bird breakfast, two eggs, sausage or bacon served with toast and a coffee. The free coffee is a great touch- which they refilled frequently. And if you ask for the vanilla creamer they'll happily come drop it off at the table for you. My friend ordered the deviled egg sandwich, which was cream and delicious. The fries for golden and crispy. Pricing is reasonable, making it a more affordable option compared to many diners. The quality and speed of service make it a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a quick, satisfying breakfast. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be back!

Great place that we have loved since years before I moved to the island. Ole's has GREAT food and staff that is equally awesome- so generally they are a 5 star establishment. However the other night we were witness to a really sad situation where in my view the restaurant really dropped the ball. A fellow unrelated to us had ordered togo, he got to his car and found no utensils had been included with his 2 boxes of food. He came in to ask for some and was understandably a bit irritated, and you know what they said to this customer ??? "Sorry we are out of togo utensils..."As if THAT is an acceptable response !!! That fellow said "So am I supposed to eat it with my hands ?"DAMN GOOD question !!! He was irritated but not swearing or yelling- but understandably bewildered by the complete ABSENCE of good business or service sense on the part of this usually perfect restaurant. He ended up returning his order and leaving unhappy, that food went to waste, and we lost a good deal of respect for our neighbourhood hang...:-(This little drama speaks to a shift in service that has occurred in our country. What is the cost on metal silverware ?!? Are they gonna go broke letting a paying customer take a fork and knife he most likely would bring back ??? I mean if I worked there I'd have given him the needed silverware on the principle that he shouldn't have to suffer our eff-up, and seeing them scorn a fellow like that just burns me up ! Damn why are you in business ??? If it is to feed people than for god sake don't be so damn petty !!!

Ole's Waffle House is hands down my go-to breakfast spot! If you're a waffle lover, this place is a must-visit--they serve the best waffles around. This is a true local gem with an old-school diner vibe that's hard to find these days. I love sitting at the counter and watching the food come out. The OG servers here are pros, and it's always fun to see them in action. The food? Solid every time. The bacon is thick and flavorful, the sausage patties are spot-on, and the hashbrowns are always a crispy, golden staple. Pair it all with a hot coffee and some vanilla creamer, and you've got the perfect start to your day. If you're looking for a classic diner experience with consistently great food, Ole's Waffle House is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Great breakfast joint in alameda where locals enjoy their coffee and waffle but service is slow and food lacks seasoning however it's a gem for locals and has a long history They must be doing something right But not my favorite

I've been looking around waffle houses in the Bay Area. Not really since the Bay Area doesn't really have any but this restaurant is the closest one I can ever find. It's located at the streets in Downtown Alameda.I see that the waffles look different compared to most I see in restaurants. They are quite thin makes the portion smaller than the average. I see that the pancakes are much larger than it. Kinda doesn't really add up when they're about the same price. Anyways, the food is not that bad though. I also was expecting the waffles to somehow taste different, but it's alright.I probably should go back again and order pancakes or other items.

We were greeted and seated promptly. I love breakfast but im not one to order sweets for breakfast but I saw a plate of waffles and decided to order some as well and WOW! These waffles are delicious! Nice crunch too them and HUGE. Probably one of the best waffles I had. Everything we ordered was delicious and staff was kind.

Came for an early breakfast. Long line waiting outside. A man came out, asked if anyone was a table of 2 or less. Since I was solo I asked if they had any bar stool seats available. Luckily they had one! I squeezed in between 2 much larger men And sat down....VERY WELL KNOWN BREAKFAST SPOT FOR DECADES... I ordered the simple breakfast side of hash browns and a single pancake and coffee.Food came out fast and hot...everything was fresh and didn't taste like old rescued oil or other items cooked in the same stove. The pancakes are delicious the simple scrambled eggs are very good. The sausage had a bit of ground bone or gristle but I just spit it out. Coffee was good house coffee (they actually sell their own brand coffee )I was very satisfied with my meal....Service was excellent... super nice and attentive

Four stars! Really cute diner in downtown Alameda! I got the short stacks which were good and the waitstaff was amazing. I was shocked to learn I was paying almost $5 for a fountain drink? All the other prices seemed fair so I was shocked to learn that when I got the check.

Very friendly, food great? Had on Valentine's Day during dinner time, we were one of the last people there, so they gifted me a small blue (plastic) rose with fairy lights!
