C's Waffles Cocoa

This was our first time here. Cheyenne was our waitress. She was friendly and excellent as in the staff that seated us. The corned beef hash was great. I am a corned beef hash fan and will try it on most menus. My husband had the meat mess breakfast. It was very meaty and delicious. The wheat toast was unlike any other wheat toast. I'd definitely have it again and eat here again. The atmosphere was peaceful and the restaurant is clean.

3.5-Stars (Chain Restaurant Rating)

If the pithy apothegm, “You are what you eat,” is true, then the Big Boy must be part-cheesecake, part-biscuit, and part-waffle.

When most Americans think of waffles, they think of the South, and the go-to waffle restaurant in the South since 1955 has been the eponymously named Waffle House.

However, there is another player in town: C’s Waffles. Originally a Pennsylvania and Ohio chain founded in 1992 by Richard Ralph Cotelesse, Sr. in New Castle, Pennsylvania, Cotelesse moved to New Smyrna Beach, Florida in 2012, where he opened a C’s Waffles, then franchised rights to family members to open additional Florida locations. Unfortunately, Cotelesse at the age of 57, tragically died in a car crash in 2018, so it is up to his family to continue the C’s Waffles legacy.

There are two C’s Waffles in Brevard County: one on Broad Street in Titusville, and this one inside the Days Inn on 524 in Cocoa, a clean crisp location with roomy tables.

The day I went in, Mike, a long-time food industry worker at the top of his field, was my waiter. Mike moved fast and was very friendly and knowledgeable.

I ordered the Biscuit & Gravy Combo billed as "C’s signature country sausage gravy over fresh biscuits with 2 eggs any style and hash browns." I was a tad suspicious of the hash browns as I saw single serving piles on the grill awaiting a consumer. However, the gravy looked more promising as it was made in a giant vat and not from powder. I always expect biscuits in places like this to be bad. While the biscuits here were not handmade, they were very good for frozen reheats. Overall, the meal was above average.

From the Waffle section of the menu, I chose the Powdered Sugar. This waffle was light and fluffy, unlike the dense waffles at the House. Pretty darn good.

Although the menu at C’s Waffles is small, the food is worth a stop.

The Big Boy says, “Nothing fancy and nothing scattered, covered, or chunked at C’s Waffles, but it is good.”

Saying this place was amazing would be criminally underrating it. I had the chicken and waffles and I'm serious when I say it was the best I've had! The chicken was tender and juicy with a delicious sauce that left me wanting for more. The waffles had a perfect texture and it felt like I was biting into a fluffy cloud with a scrumptious taste. They were perfect with a drizzle of syrup. If you're nearby I heavily recommend this place. It's really America's true house of waffles.

We are not new to the area but our first-time visit to this restaurant. We had a lovely time when we first walked in we were greeted with smiles and we were told we could sit wherever we like our waitress was so kind, and lovely and treated us so well! The food was out of this world everything was super fresh and tasty. We look forward to eating here again!

Recently moved to the area and was searching for a good breakfast spot. Most others had some bad reviews so checked out C's Waffles and very glad we came. Servers were friendly and food was delicious. We had the french toast breakfast sandwich and the corned beef hash. Both very good and fairly priced. Would definitely return.
