If you’re looking for a real Slothful Waffle review, here’s the quick answer: it’s simple food done really well, fairly priced, and absolutely worth grabbing when they roll through town.
So far, one common theme with the food trucks around here is pretty clear, there hasn’t been a bad one yet. And Slothful Waffle keeps that streak going.
Honestly, the name alone deserves some credit. It sticks. But the food backs it up.
What Makes Slothful Waffle Stand Out
On the surface, waffles don’t seem complicated. You mix the batter, cook it, and done.
However, that’s exactly why execution matters. When something is that simple, there’s nowhere to hide. Either it’s good, or it’s not.
Slothful Waffle hits it right.
Based out of Columbia, the trailer makes its way to Hohenwald periodically, usually every other Sunday depending on the schedule. When they show up, it’s worth paying attention.
What We Ordered at Slothful Waffle
We went with two options:
- Bacon Me Crazy
- Sappy’s Sweetheart
And we split them half and half, which ended up being the right move.
The Food: Where It Delivers
Let’s start with the waffles themselves.
These aren’t thin, forgettable waffles. They’re thick, dense in the right way, and actually hold the toppings without falling apart. Every bite has real flavor, not just sweetness sitting on top of bland batter.
The Bacon Me Crazy was simple but effective. A bacon-infused waffle with maple syrup sounds basic, but it hits that sweet-and-salty balance perfectly. It’s the kind of combination that doesn’t need anything extra.
On the other side, Sappy’s Sweetheart leaned into the dessert side with Nutella and fresh strawberries. It’s richer, obviously sweeter, and exactly what you expect, but done well enough that it doesn’t feel over-the-top.
Everything was topped with whipped cream, which added another layer without making it too heavy.
Portion Size: Bigger Than Expected
These waffles are loaded.
That’s the best way to put it.
Getting a full waffle of just one flavor would’ve been too much. Splitting it half and half was the right call because it gave us variety without going overboard.
Even then, it was filling.
This isn’t a light breakfast. It’s a full meal. And if you’re planning to eat it in your car, bring napkins. You’re going to need them.
Slothful Waffle Review: Customization Options
One of the better features here is flexibility.
You’re not locked into one flavor. You can:
- get a full waffle of one type
- split it into halves
- mix different combinations
That adds a lot of value, especially when you’re trying something new and don’t want to commit to just one option.
Slothful Waffle Review: Ingredients and Quality
The truck advertises:
“Artisanal Tennessee buttermilk waffles and handmade sauces.”
And it shows.
The ingredients taste fresh, not overly processed, and not rushed. That alone separates it from chain-style breakfast spots.
Pricing: Right Where It Should Be
This is where Slothful Waffle really stands out.
You’re getting a full, loaded waffle for around $10–$11.
That’s solid.
Especially when you compare it to chains like IHOP.
For example:
- Oreo Cookie Crumble Waffle (IHOP): $11.29
- Oreo Cheesecake Waffle (Slothful Waffle): ~$11
Same price range.
Better quality.
That’s a win.
Value: Easy Decision
When you combine the portion size, the ingredient quality, customization, and the price…it’s hard to argue against it.
This is one of those meals where you finish and don’t feel like you overpaid. And that matters.
Slothful Waffle Review: The Experience
Beyond the food, the experience was solid.
The owner/chef is friendly, conversational, and clearly enjoys what he’s doing. That always makes a difference with food trucks because you’re not just buying food, you’re interacting directly with the person making it.
It adds a personal touch that chain restaurants just don’t have.

Would I Go Back?
Yeah.
No hesitation.
Next time, I’d try something different just to see what else they can do, because if these two were this good, there’s more on that menu worth exploring.
Final Verdict
Slothful Waffle takes something simple and executes it better than most.
You’re getting:
- thick, flavorful waffles
- solid portion sizes
- fresh ingredients
- fair pricing
It’s not trying to reinvent breakfast.
It’s just doing it right.
