I'm generally not pleased with the waffles, pancakes, or French Toast that you get at any restaurant. If I'm at a place eating breakfast, I'll generally go with eggs, hash browns, toast, and bacon or sausage.
At home I've occasionally pulled off some solid pancakes, but waffles, no matter what I do to them are just meh to me. French Toast on the other hand I've gotten down. I've recently been using some Belgian bread that is dense enough to hold up but soft enough to properly absorb the egg wash.
