Waffle House - Breakfast restaurant in Flowery Branch - 4034 Winder Hwy, USA

The last time I was at this location it was horrible. This time the store was spotless. My food was perfect in every way including my hash browns which seemed to evade some people. The girl with the word beautiful tattooed on her arm was a Rockstar

I hate giving these kind of ratings, bc I know how it can hurt the business of a restaurant in particular, and the servers and other cooks who work here don't deserve to suffer for the actions of one thoughtless employee. BUT. When that one employee is risking the safety and health of the customers, something has to be done. And I tried to do this the private way, but I guess even local governments are all about money these days, and not so much interested in doing what's best for the people anymore. There is a particular cook at this location. I didn't get his name, and he wasn't unfriendly in any way. But, when he takes his break, he blows his nose the way my grandfather used to do - no napkin, just letting it out wherever he is, outside. On my recent visit, this happened to be on the sidewalk entrance to the restaurant during his break. He apparently got it on his shirt, and another man (a customer) helped him find it on his way to his car. Then, this cook came back inside, got a few napkins (from a dispenser at a table where customers eat btw), went back outside to finish the job he couldn't complete the old fashioned way, and THEN WALKED DIRECTLY BACK TO THE GRILL. He touched MANY items that customers put their mouths directly on and surfaces that hold food, first the to-go cups, then the drink areas, and THEN he went to the cooking area again and PUT GLOVES ON. Now, he did wear these gloves to cook, so he probably decreased the risk of his snot getting on the food directly, but not by much, bc he still put the gloves on with those same unwashed, snot-infested hands. And I don't know how long he'd been at work, so I can't say that what I witnessed was the first time he'd taken a break and done that same activity, maybe with more success... or less. But I'm willing to bet that he didn't wash his hands after those breaks either. Additionally, as if that's not bad enough, the food simply wasn't cooked well. Now I will not blame this only on this cook, bc I have recently ordered takeout from this restaurant a few weeks prior, and the food was inedible then as well. So I don't know that the bad food is all on this cook. But the unacceptable and unsanitary habits I witnessed are his responsibility alone. He was definitely old enough to know better, but I don't think he understands how much danger he's putting customers in with these actions... I really hope management sees this before someone gets really sick and figures out it was from this restaurant and this cook. I would steer clear for a while until this is addressed.

It was a Waffle House. They're a solid staple and all feel the same. Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either.

my friend & I went in here yesterday (6/1) afternoon, and it was a great experience. Unfortunately I didn’t get anyone’s name, but the young waitress was super sweet & attentive. The cute cook w the curly hair was so good too! One of the best meals I’ve had there in a while. Thank you guys!! <3

Probably one of the Waffle House I've been to in a while! Everything was cooked as ordered, fast, and tasty! My 9 year old devoured his waffle (he's been asking for one for a few days lol) in no time. Service was great, friendly!

Great buttermilk waffles!! The dining area was kept clean and the service was good.

Cook wasn’t wearing gloves and was on her phone told her never mind I wasn’t going to be able to eat the food because that was gross that she was playin on her phone with no gloves and cooking my food

Tall Tim is the best manager ever and has the greatest staff of any Waffle House I have been to.
