I have never eaten at a Waffle House, but I want to. I will try those hash browns out when I do.

Given Waffle House's long history of racial discrimination, can't work up a lot of sympathy.

Mother Claims Waffle House Employees Joked About Grabbing Noose

"We are calling on Waffle House to do whatever it takes to end racial discrimination and racial harassment in its restaurants," a letter from the woman read.

I have always seen the opposite at the Waffle Houses I have been to. I would put these people down as so called activist (con artist) trying to hustle a free dollar.

At least he was not killed in a 0200 kerfuffle at the Waffle House.

 

[JGalt]

He'll probably get a 21-waffle salute at the memorial ceremony.

With a side of bacon.

I don't know which one puts you at the most risk of being killed, Waffle House or IHOP.

 

[Moonglow]

We have a Waffle Hut also.

Don't forget the whipped cream.

I really like the Waffle House in Placerville (El Dorado County) California. Their Biscuits and Gravy rock..

I think Waffle House got em. There's even grease on the cash register there. But that didn't stop me from going every night when I was in the minors in Lakeland Florida. Ballpark at 5, beer joint after the game, Waffle House after the beer joint. The first thing that pops into your mind when you walk into the WH is that song, "I have friends in low places". Who says life isn't sweet.

Went my first time when I was down in the Florida Panhandle visiting a friend. It's diner food, but southern diner food.

His is a pretty cool story.

While he did not start as a fry cook, he did start with them just as a buyer and worked his way to CEO.

Brilliant! Simply brilliant that was.

They're okay, a lot cheaper than IHOP and better breakfasts but they do need to drain the oil off the hash browns better. They're not all that bad a place to work, and promote from within as much as possible.

I stopped getting the hash browns.

Waffle House is not in my state. But climate change could bring southern food northward.

Golden Waffle Cafe is not the same as Waffle House.

Waffle House does not have any restaurants anywhere in California.

I just get some napkins and set them on those for a couple of minutes. I only eat there maybe once every couple of months, usually because nothing else is open really early, before 5, except IHOP, which costs too much for less grub.. The Old South Pancake House is too far away.
