They started out as a food truck a decade ago, and now they have stalls in a bunch of tourist locations in Manhattan (Bryant Park, Times Square, Herald Square), plus are almost always at a stand at the Holiday Markets across town during the season), plus a physical cafe location in Alphabet City. They’ve done well for themselves.
They’ve definitely gotten more expensive over the years. I started checking them out when they were still just a food truck a decade ago after they were on Food Network (anyone remember Throwdown with Bobby Flay?). The waffle quality is still good, but as they got physical locations in tourist heavy areas (Bryant Park, Times Square, Herald Square, plus stands at the Holiday Markets around town during the season, and their physical cafe in Alphabet City), their prices have gone up by a couple dollars or so. Still love their waffles though, and will grab one when I’m in the area.
I am from Belgium and believe me those waffles are super tasty without all those toppings. there is no need to put all those extras on it. if you eat it for the first time, eat it without anything and you won't regret it. all those toppings are a trap so they can charge you more, but such a waffle doesn't need that. They also do this here in Belgium for all those tourists
When people say Belgian waffles they mean one of two well-known recipes. The first kind is the Brussels Waffle which is made from a thick batter. The second one is the Liege Waffle which is made from something almost resembling bread dough with pearl sugar in it. The Liege waffle is way sweeter than the Brussels Waffle which has no sweeteners in the batter. The Brussels waffle is very crispy and light while the Liege waffle is dense and, usually, not crispy at all.
waffle w/ bacon? keep to tradition... waffle with whipped cream waffle with powdered sugar waffle with butter waffle with raisins perhaps some strawberries perhaps some chocolate but not bacon... bacon & sugar? give customer waffle, not bacon

They sadly do it in brussels to, just for the tourists... The only acceptable topping on a Liege waffle is a little of our chocolate. Or do addaptions to the dough like the famous shop Galet does in brussels
They look delicious but if you look good to your left before they take them out there is a hair on it they still look delicious and gross at the same time . SERIOUSLY take a look you will see it sorry
You can't fight for a place in someone's life because no matter how hard you try to keep your place, they'll put you where they want to even if it's not where you should be.
