American Waffle Diner

Cute but OVERPRICED The food is good, I give it a 8/10 , my omelette had no salsa on the side, the s'mores waffles had no potatoes or fruit on the side.Staff is friendly.What convinced me not to return was that it's just too overpriced. A plain waffle was $10.99+tax. These are the type of prices you see down University Ave in Downtown Palo Alto, which are all high-end, fine dining restaurants.I hope the workers are getting paid +$5 over the minimum wage just like everything else priced on the menu.

I've always seen this place driving by and wanted to give it a try. The service is pretty average here, you're looking to be waiting all the time unless you come pretty early because it does seem to get busy. The food is okay here but I wouldn't really come back to this spot. The food doesn't look appealing but some food options were flavorful which was a plus. It looks really nice and spacious inside but the parking isn't so great up front.

Food are fair. Our service crew are very friendly recommend the best for my kids to eat at the menu. The place looks very clean.

The food is good. Their help is only friendly to people they know. They don't spread the love around. The Waffle House ambiance is great, but the lack of kindness has me uninterested in having breakfast with them. Once we arrived five minutes before closing, and they sent us home.

First time here and we walk in and put our names on the list and they make me take my son outside to wait in the middle of the winter. I even asked if I could wait inside off to the side and they said no. So now we are sitting in the car while we wait. I would have left but my son really wants to try their waffles. I am already disappointed though. It's too cold. An older couple was waiting outside and the wife was shivering cold as well!

American Waffles is definitely a must visit. Today I came in with my friend for lunch and I must say the service was exceptional, since we step foot into the restaurant. A big part for this great service is thanks to our waitress, Alyssa. From the moment we sat down, Alyssa welcomed us with her sweet, attentive, and funny personality. Not only was she professional but she made our experience enjoyable. Her food recommendations are so spot on! I tried the Elvis Special and it was very delicious. Highly recommend this place

ZERO STARS!! waited a very long time for someone to get our order. Food took forever to get to our table. The table of 4 next to us got seated AFTER us & got their food before our table of 2. $17.99 for ONE waffle with very little toppings on it is very outrageous for that price. There's plenty of better options in the area

I love the idea of an old school diner but this place needs some serious work. Everything kinda had a dirty/sticky feeling to it. There was a smell in there that was off putting. Like cleaning supplies mixed with dirty restrooms. That alone killed my appetite. The booths were way too small for two people let alone a group of 4. Seen two groups move to a different table because the spacing between the table and booth seating was way too tight. There was duct tape on the floor keeping some of the flooring together. It also felt very cluttered. Service-Needs work. We got sat down pretty quickly and an older woman came by to take our order. She asked what our drinks were and forgot all about us until our food came out. Which was about 20 min. Usually any other restaurant you get your drinks while you wait for food. Crazy part is, the restaurant wasn't even busy for her to be forgetting about us. So we got our food and drinks at the same time. The server was friendly though, I'll give her that. Food-OVERPRICED!!!! Waffles should not be this expensive. We ordered the chicken and waffle platter. Comes with 1 waffle, 1 mini drumstick, 2 mini thighs,mini wing, 2 eggs and 2 sausages. This was good. I enjoyed the chicken and waffle. I think this was about 24.99 1 Banana Nutella Nut waffle w/ whip cream-this was also good but why is it 17.99? My partner got the All meat omelette w/ hash brown-upgraded toast to French toast. W/ a coke.Apple juice is 4.99! That's crazyThere was also an up charge for eggs because of the shortage. Our bill came out to $90. That is ridiculous, the food should've been at least $50-70 for the quality of it. There's nothing special about anything in there for it to be that expensive. This was our first and pretty sure last time eating at this establishment.Edit to reply to owner-If many people are saying your food is just good or just ok please take that into consideration. Your pricing is way too high for the food you are putting out. I'm aware of what we ordered. The only thing we subbed was the toast for French toast. Also, this is my experience here and my version of clean can be different from someone else's. Personally I didn't like the smell or look of the place. When you're sat down and waiting for food you start to notice the stuff that I did.

This place is not good at all. Bad waitress service. Food was no good attitude with waitress service. One black girl in particular will never go here again and the funny thing is I couldn't wait to go to this place and got there in the service was horrible, and the food was horrible

I been wanting to try this place for a long time , today I finally did and I was not disappointed at all ! I had the Elvis special and it was so delicious just the right amount of flavors . I definitely found my new favorite spot , they have so many different waffle options it's a must to come back ! The service was great, my server was attentive and so fast. All the other staff seem friendly and welcoming .The decor is just so beautiful it's such a vibe !
