Visalia Waffles

Second time here and still the greatest place to have breakfast. Ordered Steak and eggs plate: the steak is delicious and melts in your mouth. Tried the Blueberry waffle, Apple waffle, caramel and pecans waffle, very delicious all 3. I think its the Cowboy playe, fried chicken stake and the Biscuits & Gravy OMG!! That's what gets me... 100% recommend. Staff is on top of everything and everyone has a great attitude.

Colette our waitress seated us right away . Very friendly. She served us our coffee and Orange juice and took our order . Food was served quickly and fresh. Food is Delicious. I highly recommend this place . If you're looking for a good breakfast this is the place . Thank you Colette for you're friendly service . We will definitely go back .

SHORT VERSION: Tasty. Good service. Pricey. LONG VERSION: I was in search of a strawberry waffle combo when my search turned up Visalia Waffles. If it's named for the food I want, it must be good, right? The diner is a storefront in a strip mall, but set back away from the bigger stores, so parking was easy and plentiful. I was greeted as I entered and offered my choice of seating. I found a chair at a table and it was comfortable. My drink order was taken immediately and my water came quickly. It was in a very large cup, which is my preference. I didn't need a refill! The menu was a bit of a challenge. They have a lot of very specific entries and not a lot of obvious separate choices. The strawberry waffle was easy to find, but at first it didn't appear there was a combo option. I eventually found it hiding in the description of the blueberry waffle (photo). This was what I came for, so this is what I ordered, though I almost went another way. There was no ala carte menu to order eggs or bacon separately. If there had been, I might not have kept looking until I found the combo line. My order was taken and delivered in a timely manner. The waffle looked good, though it was short on strawberries and heavy on glaze. The scrambled eggs and two strips of bacon were done properly, but looked a little left out on the side plate. The waffle itself was very good. As the namesake dish, I expected no less! I was very happy with the waffle. The strawberry glaze was no more than typical store-bought with the equivalent of about 3/4 of a strawberry sliced into it, probably at the plant it was packed at. They were limp, chewy little strawberry fragments which added nothing to the meal. And im not a fan of the strawberry-candy flavor of glazes, so the topping really took away from the very good waffle beneath it. Eggs and bacon were done right and were a nice compliment to the meal. Not quite all I'd hoped, but I'll probably come try a different breakfast someday. One big negative to me was the price. The strawberry waffle was $14 and adding two eggs and 2 strips of bacon was another $8. That's a lot for a small breakfast combo. Add tax and tip on there and it's almost $30 for breakfast for one. Ouch. For that price, I expect lots of fresh strawberries and none of the false-flavored glaze. THE BOTTOM LINE: Good enough that I'll try again sometime (ordering something different), but the friendly service and nice atmosphere aren't enough to make me happy that I had to pay so much for what I got.
