My husband, 2 sweet little pups and I were Fall leaf peepin’ en route to western states. After a smelly night in the red roof inn, we stopped at The Waffle Shop about 30 miles down the road. I will share the good, the bad and the ugly. The good: breakfast was quick, bacon was even faster, the service was good with constant refills of coffee, and they offer local Pennsylvania cuisine such as creamed chipped beef. The bad: they don’t seat you unless the whole party has arrived, there is a revolving door of men using the restroom, cash only which definitely means money laundering, and the cashier continually counted money in the open, teasing the peasants with her wads of cash. The ugly: the creamed beef might give you the runs, and there is a vicious battle between the original owner who now owns the “original waffle shop”, he sounds like a total sleeze ball! Overall, 5/5 an excellent experience at the waffle shop and would highly recommend to all passing through!!

We had a great breakfast. There was plenty of food. The banana and nut waffle was very yummy and the veggie omelet was very flavorful.

I went to breakfast with my coworker a year ago here, and now we’re engaged with a kid. All because we thought stickies was a funny name for a desert! 10/10 diner

The Waffle Shop is great. Everything is made from locally sourced products when available, and in season. Jen is great too. She was so sweet, and you can tell she takes great pride in the shop. I don't think I've ever enjoyed an eatery, as much as I did here. Very clean, very friendly, and the food was soooo good. It had a nice, airy, and lighthearted atmosphere. But was warm and comfortable inside. Hand sanitizer has been placed right at the entrance. There is also an ATM, and some dedicated parking spots. The Waffle Shop is easy to find from the road. The breakfast salad was so good. Definitely my favorite. The pancakes were also really, really tasty. I'll be returning here very often. To the staff, thank you for giving me such a nice experience

Absolutely loved the waffleshop! Me and my lady per usual ordered multiple plates all of which were the best. Banana nut waffles, famous eggs Benedict, strawberry waffles. Grand total of 30 bucks! Most meals under 10 dollars. The wait at the door is a little hectic so if you're in a small group just take a seat at the bar! Whitney is the best waitress there by far!
