If you’re traveling any distance to visit this place, you’d better call ahead to see if they’re serving food. We made a long trip to Boulder, mainly to visit this place, only to walk in and be told they weren’t serving food. It wasn’t even 8:00 pm when this happened. This is a restaurant, not just a bar. It should be a safe assumption that food is to be served so long as they are open. Oh well, luckily there’s always Insomnia Cookies down the street. Just don’t make the same foolish mistake we did assuming they’d have food. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I have to complain. I’m really sorry, but the Boulder location of Waffle Labs would better have been left a Taco Bell or vape shop or what ever it was before. I brought my son 15 miles for a special breakfast on the strength of the recommendations of the Fort Collins location and could not have been more disappointed. Every table beer glazed at 10 am, clearly no cleaning crew had been in for a LONG time— filth and dirt all over the floor, bar, and tables. Flies everywhere— you’d have done better to leave the doors open. I did not dare go into the bathrooms, and I was prepared for a little “On the Hill” funk. to No napkins in any of the dispensers. Register staff had to rip paper towels off the roll next to the hand sink. “Liege waffles” just soggy misshapen lumps that didn’t really smell of yeast as we’d been ‘advised’ by the menu, just tasted of sour beer. Best thing about the European was the whipped cream. The Flatiron was served cold but blowtorch- charred paper boat is not a good look or smell. No melt on the cheese despite the blackened dots, nothing like an olive oil drizzle or anything to marry the dish to itself, avocado was crunchy hard, pale and actually bitter. We had moved outside because of the smell and the flies yet still unwilling to abandon the 25$ plus tip we’d already dropped, to sit at a picnic table in the patio. The only improvement was the fresh air. We’d have tolerated street dust on the steel street facing standing counter happily, but the Cleanest surface had chewed gum on TOP, so we wasted one of our two paper towels to pinch it off the table. Server was evidently embarrassed, dropped our paper boats and plastic forks on the dirty table (thanks for nothing) and ran. I’m frankly shocked that anybody in the two parties that walked past us could ignore the misery. Probably because we stunned into silence. My kid ate his — sugar can cover a lot of sins— but I ditched after two bites, he ate the bacon and dumped the rest. I have never been angry at food until Waffle Bar ruined what I’d desperately wanted to be a fun breakfast with my teen. I’ve also never been tempted to phone the health board. And no coffee? That might have prevented this review, but there wasn’t even a redeeming stimulant on site to replace the feel good hormones a good waffle should elicit. I’d demand a refund but I can’t bring myself to go within 50 yards if that place. Pity. I like the old-fashioneds at the Sink.

Didn't plan to come here but we were glad we did, just because we were hungry and we saw this interesting little eatery. And it had just opened business for the day, so we were the only customers there at that time. I ordered waffle and gravy, which I thought was good. I never had that before. My husband had waffle only and he also like it. A very pleasant friendly young man was the only worker then.

We were in a rush without too many options on a Sunday noon, we ended up eating here only because the place was not packed. And I guess there was a reason. The food was OK - but unprofessional staff, unclean space - and NO COFFEE. At a WAFFLE place. Really?? I wish we could get our tip back. Never going back here again.

weird bouncer who called my real id fake on a power trip and had to be convinced by his bouncer buddy. Pretty funny interaction since I thought he was joking but he had some sand up there or something. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

I got the chicken and waffles because the menu said they were famous for it and I totally get the hype! The chicken was perfectly crisp and the waffles were fantastic. Most places either make the waffles too sweet or too plain, but the waffle lab had the perfect balance! Oh, and the people there are the best. 10/10 for sure 🙌

In the nicest gesture ever, Waffle Lab offered a free meal to the employees at all the businesses on the hill to try their food before the grand opening. So, I had amazing chicken and waffles for lunch at work yesterday. The menu is short and easy to choose from, the food was absolutely fantastic, and the service was excellent. The guy working the front register clearly hasn't been beaten down by the brutality that is working post Covid in restaurants yet and it showed. The place also has great seating, indoor and outdoor.

From a small trailer in Fort Collins, to now having two brick and motar locations this place is delicious in everything they make. Fast and Friendly staff always make the dinning experience worth it. I would recommend getting the Grilled Cheese Waffle or the Chicken & Waffles as both will leave you full and satisfied.

My $6 plain waffles came out to be $16 at checkout. Decided to order them anyway. The “Vermont maple syrup” is corn syrup. Waffles were gross and hard to eat. Not to mention completely raw in the middle. Took no more than 3 bites before deciding to throw them away. Throughly disappointed.
