★☆☆☆
If you're gluten free, you'll find these waffles have a slightly sweet flavor and great crunch. However, many found this waffle to taste like cardboard with a chalky aftertaste and even went so far as to call it a "tragedy of a waffle."
★★☆☆☆
Tasters loved the crispy texture, but the waffle itself had no flavor. One went so far as to say it reminded him of "packing peanuts." Yuck!
★★☆☆
These homestyle waffles taste strangely like blueberries. Some claimed these taste a little too much like whole wheat, while others complained of the artificial flavor. At any rate, these waffles are just OK.
★★☆☆
These are just your standard frozen waffles. There's nothing special or memorable about them. They're not bad; they're just bland.
★★★☆☆
Half of the tasters gave this waffle a near-perfect score for its classic taste and crisp exterior. The other half turned their noses up at the artificial flavor and pungent freezer smell and taste.
★★★☆
This waffle is the best of both worlds. It is full of wholesome grains yet has a great fluffy texture and classic buttermilk waffle flavor. It's slightly sweet, too, which adds to its awesome flavor.
★★★★☆
Cinnamon toast in waffle form?! Need we say more . . . Tasters couldn't get enough of the cinnamon-sugar saturated within each bite. What's great about this waffle is there's enough flavor and sweetness to get away with eating it on the go sans any syrup.
★★★★
Thick and fluffy with a crisp outer layer, these belgian waffles taste like they're from scratch. Prepare your taste buds for lots of butter!
★★★★
