Had a bad experience at this place. Found a hair on my waffle. Waitress said sorry and offered another waffle. I refused waffle because i was disgusted with the hair. They offered to discount the waffle from the check and ended up discounting .30 cents. Incredible i assure you they dont sell waffles for .30 cents.
