Waterloo Ice House Escarpment

"This place is really good. This is the third time we’ve been here and the food is good all the time. This time our waiter was Cole. He was a trainee but so friendly and polite. We always get the cheddar cheese queso fries and it’s really good. Last time for main course I had a veggie Sammie and my husband had a grilled chicken sandwich. This time I had a Swiss patty melt substituted with garden patty and my husband had the crispy chicken sandwich. The food is always good. They have a great dining area and a lot of seating options. They also have a great outdoor seating area. A great place to celebrate a special occasion or even just chill out with friends. Will we definitely back soon."

"I had an outstanding dining experience at Waterloo, and Nate elevated it to perfection as our server. From the moment we sat down, Nate's warm and attentive demeanor set the tone for the evening. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, guiding us through the diverse offerings with enthusiasm. Nate's impeccable timing ensured each course arrived at our table with precision, enhancing the overall dining flow. The combination of Waterloo's delectable cuisine and Nate's exceptional service made this an unforgettable five-star dining experience. I highly recommend Waterloo, and if you're fortunate enough to have Nate as your server, you're in for a treat."

"We have eaten lunch here many times, but stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. I had the fried egg sandwich on Texas toast and my husband had the large stack of pecan pancakes. Both dishes were large and tasty. We had enough for another breakfast. They are very kid friendly with the menu, bringing food to squirmy kids quickly and a playground."

"Waterloo is a great go-to place for standard American eclectic fare. From burgers to breakfast and Chicken Fried Steaks to full blooded cocktails, they have you covered for any hankering. I find myself going here about three to four times a month. My main choice of dinner entree is the Chicken Fried Chicken. For breakfast, I choose the scrambled eggs and biscuits with gravy. The biscuits, I should note, are huge and hearty; basically a meal in themselves. I can confidently state that 90% of the time Waterloo is spot-on with quality dishes, clean atmosphere and friendly wait staff. However, on this particular visit, my companion ordered poached eggs that were served under cooked, which was a rare error. Now you may say that poached eggs are supposed to be runny, but they should not resemble egg yolk soup! This small glitch in the system is easy enough ignored, though, in the long run. The restaurant also does well with catering to children, they have an attached playscape and playground area. Stop by for a weekend brunch on the patio and let your children run and play off all that excess energy while you watch from the table sipping on your favorite libation. Enjoy! Chicken Fried Steak review - nice breading to meat ratio with thin but crispy crust. The meat was medium tender, a knife was required but there was no chewiness to the meat. The cream gravy was lumpy, but I requested gravy on the side so it was not a deal breaker. Go with the mashed potatoes and a side salad. The cilantro lime dressing is tasty too. Chicken Fried Chicken: stopped in for a quick lunch and this dish was perfectly prepared and delicious. I preferred the chicken to the steak. The baked potato was also done perfectly today. Topped off with a cilantro ranch side salad and a friendly and attentive server… made for a fantastic lunch."

"Great place to bring kids and let them enjoy the playground. The food is delicious. The playground has been updated and looks very nice. Come and enjoy Halloween"
