#2 Don't go there during the Graveyard Shift unless you have a cast iron stomach -- that's where they exile the worst cooks.

#3 ...This is so, so accurate and true. Won't say that Waffle House is a holy place, but it is a sanctuary in the finest sense of that word.

No matter where you walk into one, you know exactly what you're going to find. And in my own humble experience - YMMV, of course - it's always been a good thing.

#5 And if you think the price of a gallon of gasoline is high, wait till you order a small orange juice. :)

#6 1990's
R.T.P. I-440, while 90% of the area was without power (Hurricane Fran?) the Waffle house had Power??? BTW: Power crews ate free at that Waffle House ☺ with customer paying their tabs.

The WH off I-85 near Commerce GA. (Atlanta Road Race week) sitting in the Acey-Ducey seating. We watched the Waitress serving "Special Order" Orange Juice for $5 a pop (Vodka added).

Having some fun with a new WH waitress, My I.T. team all asked for "Left Handed" Coffee cups. Yep! she went looking for them

We all have our WH stories

#7 I believe Chick-fil-A uses Waffle House as a training vehicle and effective negative example.

#8 Waffle House is still a great place to eat. A better bargain than Cracker Barrel.

#9 Re#2 Don't go there on the graveshift unless you want dinner and a show. That's when the bars let out, and from the fight vids I've seen , Waffle House employees are like 75-0.

#12 Chris! Late night with a meal is the best!!! You will get introduced to the finest law enforcement officers as they deal with the drunks, hookers, and brawlers!

#14 A couple of years ago when the St. George of Floyd riots were in full swing we had an article which included the fact that the mostly peaceful protesters in Atlanta refused to attacked a Waffle House. "Not the Waffle House! No! No!"

#16 I found the waffle house near my work to be quiet, with only a few customers who were probably truckers or tradesmen. The food was perfect and they claimed to have messed up my first pecan waffle so I got another and was allowed to eat the first. The second I took home to use as a bribe for going to waffle house without the wife.
