Who Actually Likes Belgium Waffles?

Here is a question out to our readers. Who actually likes Belgium Waffles? And why have they become the go to waffle in American breakfast cuisine? I ask this because my wife Mrs. DanGarion loathes them and I’m not particularly a big fan of them either. Just about every restaurant in Southern California’s rendition of waffles is of the Belgium variety. I realize that there are some places that actually make the tried and true real waffle, such as Bruxie and Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles, but that is where my knowledge of great waffles ends. Even my favorite weekend breakfast spots The Filling Station and Arthur’s Family Restaurant (both in Orange) basically fail the waffle test with Belgiums, although I’m willing to forgive Arthur’s because they do pair them with chicken.

So what say you readers, what type of waffles do you like? And where can someone go to get real waffles, not thick doughy things?

    I prefer the classic waffle – thin, crunchy on the outside and soft/warm on the inside.  Perfect little nooks for holding just the right concentration of butter/syrup.

    Nothing is better than a classic waffle.

    I have had the occasional Belgium waffle and enjoyed it but have honestly never understood what was so special about it.

    Being a big fan of waffles I am on the same page with you.  I totally agree on Bruxies (I went the first day they were open)  I have not yet managed to drag my wife to Roscoe’s, but it is on my list.  I was thinking over the weekend that I have to try Bruxies Liege waffles as I had one from the Waffle Truck and I felt like I could use it for an  anchor. I was disappointed as I have been thinking of trying to make them at home, but I am not going to invest in the Belgan sugar until I know I would like them.   I want to see if that is just the nature of them or if it was poor execution. 
    One place I would recommend is the Original House of Pancakes.

      I think the OHoP has only big thick waffles…
