Ye Olde Waffle Shop

Not friendly to families. If you come here with kids you'll get bewildered stares, and ultimately you'll not be able to sit together as family. We were treated as if we were a bother on a day that wasn't even busy.

I think the "overrated" reviewer must be stuck in a time warp, because places like this barely exist anymore in the advent of chains. If you think it's overpriced, you must eat beans out of a can under a bridge for breakfast - given that I'm originally from Boston, this is dirt cheap by comparison, and easily 10x better than anything I had in that area.

I went to this establishment because of what I heard on the street. This place thrives on word of mouth, which I would consider "rumors" or "myths" from people who have heard it from others and never actually eaten at this establishment.\t\n\t\nFood was over priced and ...dried. I do not recommend to anyone unless they asked about this place. All I remembered food was terrible and over priced.\t\n\t\nI would never go there again with their flavorless food, small portions, and slow service. I guess it's a hip place to go, but hip doesn't usually mean good. Give me big portions, cheaper food. Read More

Ye Olde is one of the first places I take friends and family who come to visit in Chapel Hill. It has a ton of character (always decorated at holidays, employees in impressive costumes at halloween) and unbeatable food and prices. The line can be intimidating, but I've ...never had to wait more than 15 minutes, even on weekends. I especially recommend the Apple Cinnamon Waffles. Don't forget that it's cash only, but if you are stuck, there's three ATMs within the same block. Read More

This place rocks. Best basic breakfast in town.\t\n\t\nThat said, it could be better in a few ways. The hashbrowns are frozen shredded type, not fresh. The fruit used for waffles and pancakes are canned or frozen. Pepsi, no Coke.\t\n\t\nThe place is 100% consistant, fri...endly, and good. I wish a few tweaks would be made to make it excellent, such as Merritts bacon, and the things mentioned already.\t\n\t\nI have a few places throughout the country I love, and wish this place was as good. BUT, it's the best in town, period! Read More
