I only put 2 stars because the food was amazing as always at any Waffle House. We waited 20 plus minutes for the waitress to take our order while our asthmatic son coughed because he was hot. We broke down a few miles from Cookeville and walked from the Motel 6 across the street to feed our kids. Our son got got hot waiting for traffic walking over there and the wait was absolutely ridiculous. I worked at a Waffle House myself and definitely took an order at the register then made sure to get customer drinks at a table, this waitress took all carry out orders which was about 5 maybe 6 before getting our drink order with an asthmatic child. We did not visit this location again during our stay and unfortunately will not be revisiting at all. She didn't call the orders out right and said she was new as well, the night waitress was very unprofessional to us and was saying to the cook another waitress called in again and they were speaking about about that employee in front of all the customers there. We love Waffle House and was embarrassed this waitress acted the way she did in front of our family and other customers. Thank you for the tasteful food but we will not be returning to this location unless the night waitress who served us is no longer there. Nobody should be that unprofessional in front of customers and no table should have to wait that long for a drink order, we understand the food delay but she could've stopped to take the drink order and serve for a family of 4.

Visited here in February for breakfast. Food was standard for a Waffle House. Service was pleasant. Good place for breakfast if you're staying nearby.

Wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch at if ur driving long distance. The staff is cool and friendly and make U feel at home.

Megan made us feel very welcome and we had a great experience. Hash brown bowl and waffles were awesome. Our first Waffle House experience from Australia ??

Awesome experience!!! This was our first time at the waffle house. We are driving across country and Mushroom was the best waitress we have had on our trip and Tina ( the big boss ) took time to come over and talk with us. The food and service was top notch!!! ?

Good food and the service from our waitress Megan was great. She was kind, interactive and on top of our needs. Clean building and tables. Enjoyed.

Service was great and the coffee was wonderful, the food was just not great. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff that day? We didn't get sick so there's that lol

Me and my fiance visited for breakfast. Had ordered eggs and hashbrowns with the potatoes being burnt and the eggs cooked incorrectly. Only ate a couple bites to lose my appetite and have it taken off the bill. Server was friendly but food didn't impress.

One of the best waffle house experiences I have had, service was good food was good & fresh. I would definitely go back to this location

It's a Waffle House. They are good for what they are, and what they are is a restaurant for greasy, delicious breakfast food surrounded by generally friendly characters.
