What I like about waffles is that you can fill the little squares with chocolate, syrup, or anything else you like. That’s their big advantage over pancakes, I think

Pancakes have a lower ceiling to how good they can be (not much lower but lower), and have a much higher floor. They are a pretty consistent food to make or order from a place. Waffles on the other hand are pretty much the reverse. If I don’t know how good you are at making waffles then I’ll take pancakes. If you are good at making pancakes then I’ll take waffles since they will probably be good too.

Waffles are tasty, but pancakes can be good too!

Pancakes are great, but waffles are just the best. And they’re versatile - I’ve made my own recipe for cheesy waffles using queso dip from costco, and they’re so good with a dollop of sour cream.

I hate whipped cream. The taste sickens me.
