This has been an enlightening window into the workings of Waffle House.


I agree. I require more insider info of Waffle House operations.

then go enlist while ur on furlough from ur current assignment. in a month theyll have you in shape dicing a sack of onions in 10 minutes flat and working the flat tops like u were playing the drums. or if youve got a kid above 18 home for christmas or summer break send them to go cook at waffle house it'll give them that real disclipine.

Anthony Bourdain had a great segment where he went to a waffle house with a renowned chef and they raved about how great it was




It was Sean Brock in Charleston. Here's a ridiculous article about Brock's worship of waffle house and how to order when there (although now that Brock is off the sauce he's probably tamed it down some). You'll want to run to Waffle house after reading it.

It's the best and the one I go to is stupid fast. I am usually in and out in under 30 minutes, which is great if I want to grab breakfast before work.

I love this thread. And I’m going to the waffle house in the morning.

Delicious?

We don't attach the word "delicious" to waffle house. The highest possible compliment you can pay to waffle house is to simply say it'll make a turd.

No lie, the only food review I've ever submitted online was for a Waffle House on my way back from Houston, hungover af. I think it was near Baytown.

My friend and I felt like we were in the Twilight Zone. Walked in, every worker was happy as frick, all doing something. Few were meticulously cleaning stuff. Food tasted 10x better than any meal I've ever had. Probably one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had.

And yes, at a damn Waffle House. fricking luh that shite.

I kinda feel like I’m risking my life just driving past one of those places. I’d rather stay home and microwave a breakfast Hot Pocket than actually set foot in one!

I’ve had some really good breakfast at Waffle House.
I’ve had some not so good breakfast at Waffle House.
To me it’s hit and miss. Some are definitely better than others.

If I got shot in a Waffle House while eating my hash browns and eggs, I'd die a happy man.

You haven't lived if you haven't visited a Waffle House drunk at 3am

Southern hospitality service isn’t always there. Not enough to avoid though.

You have Waffle House confused with IHOP. See, people get in brawls and shoot one-another at the IHOP, not the Waffle House. Everyone's always happy at the Waffle House.

i dont think you really can its a commercial kitchen product like mcdonalds french fries. you can buy a freeze dried product in a paper box, but thats as good as ore ida is vs mcd fries.

when i like potatoes for breakfast i like to chip up the crawfish boil potatoes and make an omelette or just fry them up.

yep, they are very good. nothing spectacular just good food

first time i ate there i ordered what i thought was a regular breakfast from 3 items pictured together thinking it was "pick your choice", i had no clue turned out to be all 3 were the meal.

they brought grits n eggs with bacon, which is all i thought i ordered, then comes a big platter of pancakes, then a bowl of oatmeal with sausage links on the side lol. i tried to gave all that to two people who had just came in but they seemed weirded out by it so since i had somewhere to go i just left a whole table of wasted food there to be thrown out because i couldnt bring a doggy bag with me.

the mention of pancakes and links which are not on the menu anywhere to my knowledge makes me question if you werent at a huddle house or some other place. id hate to hear that you were giving money to the international house of mediocrity or those bunk peddling blaggards at dennys
