I had the crab cakes with green beans, and mashed potatoes and gravy. The fresh baked bread was hot, and amazing! The crab cakes were delicious.

So the food here I kind of expected it to be better but for the meal I had it was pretty decent. Unfortunately I must have caught them on a very hot day because it was pretty hot inside they did bring out many fans to help it cool down. I kind of been wanting to go to this place for quite some time so finally getting there and it not be in a certain expectation I had in my mind is very realistic and I will give this place a solid 8.3 out of 10

I've loved this place for years. Everything is always spot on, service is fantastic, food is so good. Try the Mac and Cheese, you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely love this place! My fiance and I just bought a house in the area and this is now our new favorite place to eat. We go as often as we can for breakfast and dinner. We also went on Valentine’s Day the atmosphere was beautiful. We did some wine tasting, had some bolognese (literally so good. I swear!! Please add this to the menu!!) the white French dressing and the French dip is also freaking amazing! The people are super friendly and informative. You can tell they did some updates but even the older look is super charming and cute. I can’t reccomend this place enough!! As I write this I’m sad they are closed cause I want some! Please stay open later!

Edit: today my fiance and I went back. The gyro was amazing and John, the owner, gave us a free bottle of wine as a gift for just moving to the area. Please come to this place! You just don’t get service like this anymore. They are passionate about what they do and the connection is unmatched. You just can’t get this kind of service at Applebees. We are thinking, if at all possible, having our reception here. I’d support a local business any day! I can’t wait for the continued experience!

Completely forgot to take pics! However, I ended up taking some home so I'll snap a few ... may not look as good, but everything was delicious! It's funny, because I've lived about a mile from the restaurant for about 15 years. It was after Covid when everything started to open back up that my Mom and I realized all the salad bars were gone!!! I started searching and their salads popped up on a menu. Always knew it was there, but thought it was strictly catering or hall rental or something. No idea where I even got that thought from. Anyway, ordered two different salads to go... think a chopped and a Mediterranean, both with chicken. They were fresh, chicken was juicy, and was a good portion for the price. Since then we've been there several times. We order something different everytime and every single time, it's been great. Appetizers, chicken dinners, soup, salads, burgers, it's all been fresh, flavorful, and modesty priced.
And..... everytime the customer service was excellent. My Mom and I usually go to lunch to chat and spend some quality time together. That can frustrate servers sometimes. We have never felt rushed.
Today, we were there around noon. Two staff members greeted us, before we were even seated. The server was right there to get our drink order. We had an order of wings 1st.... crispy, flavorful, juicy. I ordered pita and hummus, and fish tacos. My Mom ordered the soup du jour, which was stuffed pepper soup. It smelled so good and she said it was delicious. She also ordered warm pita. Fish tacos were delicious. Two crisp shells, red cabbage slaw, salsa, avocado aoli, sour cream. Oh ya, and a full piece of cod in each one. They have a section on their menu where they have five or so tacos. You get two, but can add another one for $3. Will definitely be back to try the others, which included brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and I can't remember the others, but they all sounded good. A guy walked by our table and noticed I had some leftover, and brought me a to go container and bag. When I went to the counter to pay, three different team members acknowledged us, thanked us for coming, etc. I know it sounds basic, but I'm lucky if a cashier even acknowledges my existence. Most of them don't even give me the total. I have to ask!
Plus, I'm with my Mom, whom I'm protective of, like most of us are. I don't like to see her uncomfortable or someone being rude or dismissive to her. If she leaves happy, Im happy. I'm also very generous with tipping if I feel like she was taken care of. And, well, everyone at The Waterloo is as classy as they come!
So, get your behinds over there and enjoy yourselves!
Plus..... they have breakfast ALL DAY!

My fiancé and I moved to the neighborhood recently and this place has become our new favorite spot! Not only is the food delicious, but the prices here are better than any chain place you’ll go to. I had many dishes here from the breakfast skillets to French dips to their fish and chips, all of it was amazing! Not only that but the owner gave us a bottle of wine as a welcome to the neighborhood. Simply amazing, stop in and see for yourself how good it is!

It’s been a while since we were here but I knew my granddaughter would enjoy the “big apple” pie, we were not disappointed! April did a great job putting lots of whip cream on her hot cocoa, the mozzarella sticks were amazing. Place is clean, updated.

Breakfast today. I had the Wednesday/Thursday special, which consists of two eggs, bacon, and 1/2 waffle. Including coffee, it came to around $8.50. Great deal. Eggs were over easy, bacon crispy, and waffle warm with butter and syrup. The wait staff was friendly, and the place was not crowded at all for a Wednesday morning. Waterloo offers typical breakfasts of meat and eggs, omelets, and breakfast bowls. The daily specials are good. If you want steak and eggs, they offer that, too. Outside seating available.
