After leaving Myrtle Beach and feeling the need for a break and a hearty breakfast, we decided to stop at this Waffle House. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations. Our order arrived within about 5 minutes, ensuring we were back on the road quickly. This Waffle House provided a perfect stop, Thank you!!

The staff was so kind to my 16 month year old daughter. The cook went through extra effort preparing her food to make sure it was not too greasy and the waitress kept interacting with her and offering different things for her to try. I love this Waffle House.

The food was good. Bacon was cooked, but I asked for it to be crisp. The cook delivered the food, not the server. It was rather quiet when I went. Was not greeted upon entry.
