We have prettier women. That alone makes the South better. Everything else is gravy.


Like any franchise, it's location dependent. Some locations are better than others. If employees care and can cook, the food can be great.

South has prettier women? I think of whales on scooter

Just watch college football on Saturday. Southern schools have the pretties girls in the stand. They age pretty quick once they marry and pop out couple kids but under 30 Southern girls are prettier. Same with all the Latina.

Never heard of Waffle House before this thread. I'm in SF Bay Area, dunno if they're around here. I do make some killer waffles in my kitchen.

Pretty sure you can make a better waffle at home, they are nothing to rave about.

Waffle House is where you go while fleeing a hurricane at 3am, when nothing else is open, or when you have to feed drunk people - a situation where the food quality matters less than the staff's familiarity/ambivalence with vomit and fights.

Have a little self respect people! Find a real restaurant, or stay home and make far better with minimal effort. Stop supporting laziness and mediocrity. I'll eat there, but only under duress. You can accomplish a lot with sufficient amounts of ketchup. Take it from someone who lived overseas and had parents of the 'tough shit, eat it' variety.

It's delicious.

Yeah, a chain of 2000+ stores, bringing in more than 1 billion a year, simply exists...

Come now, let's not try and pretend cost is now synonymous with quality. Is it accessible for everyone? Of course it is, haven't seen anyone submit contrary.

The issue here is quality and I think we all know it. Not just the food but the restaurants themselves. Ugh, some of the ones I've been to in Florida were hideous. Yes it's cheap comfort food, my point is why go there for it? In some ways Waffle House is to breakfast as Olive Garden is to Italian. Cheap, consistent, widespread, unremarkable. If that's your thing, hey whatever makes you happy, even if it's 38% grease.

I imagine your low standards kind going into a place that does breakfast right, maybe with a slight hang over, and marveling at how great it is. Real orange juice, from actual squeezed oranges? Fresh local eggs and butter? Someone at the helm who actually digs making Eggs Benedict and has 14 takes of it on the menu? Real bacon, not that sub-milllimeter shit Sysco sells?

It might be delicious to you, but you still need better standards. Oh and nuh uh, you shut up.

The point really isn't the quality, it's that it's cheap, everywhere, and consistent.

It's like going to Denny's in high school with your friends at 2am. You know exactly what you're going to get lol.

The diners in TX on the main highway. The food and service was great, the price was right and the waitresses were beautiful. The highway wasn't crowded and people drove really fast. They flew in TX. That's my recollection. Only returned to the south last February, 5 days in New Orleans. A different experience.

Diners are probably one of the biggest things I miss about living in the south. We have no good diners here in CT, or anywhere in New England, really. Our diners are awful lol. And we have crap all for fast food. No Carl's Junior, no In & Out, no Cafe Rio, etc. In the past few years, we've gotten a couple Smashburgers, Shake Shacks, and Chick-fil-a's, but they're mostly located in certain larger towns, so you have to take a drive just to get decent fast food.

Side note, I recently went to the worst diner I've ever been too. I can't even explain how bad it was. It was like a combination of public school lunch, retirement home food, and sadness. It made me disappointed to have taste buds.

RoFL! :^D

Not sure what you had, but I'm kind of a fan of crappy diners. If it isn't greasy and mediocre, it isn't a real diner experience. A shame everyone's banned indoor smoking. That added ambiance to those old diners.

I grew up in the deep South of the US and I do not think WH is all that. Too greasy and too "meh" for me. Denny is "slightly" better.

Bro.

I frequently brunch at mid-high end places on the weekend. I'm all about that Benedict and mimosa life. Free range, grass-fed, locally sourced; all that bullshit; I'm a basic bitch at my core.

I also am not above admitting that a low-cost, low-effort, greasy-ass plate of hash-browns, eggs, and a bullshit waffle isn't just as delicious on certain occasions.

The Waffle House food fetish is REAL (craigslist verified)

Fulfill My Waffle House Fantasy!

This Sunday evening at 10pm, I'll be sitting at the counter of Waffle House on Tunnel Road. I'll be wearing clothing but underneath I'll be naked. You'll know it's me because I'll be eating Bert's BEST bowl of Chili. Please note that Bert's BEST is a large bowl of chili, smothered, covered, chunked and peppered. This clarification is important, just in case there is someone else at the counter eating a bowl of Bert's Chili, which is just chili and not as good as Bert's BEST.
After you identify me by my chili and also perhaps by my concealed nakedness, you'll take the stool beside me. At first I won't be sure it's you and the anticipation will be a real thrill for me. When the waitress greets you... I'm not sexist it's just statistically probable that your server will be a female because male Waffle House servers are very rare. Anyway, when your waitress greets you, you won't need to review a menu because I'm about to tell you what to order and you'll have it memorized. It may be a good idea to write this down on a small piece of paper and memorize while you're driving to the Tunnel Road Waffle House. Ready? Good. You'll tell the waitress you'll have Hashbrowns, covered, diced, peppered and topped. Curiously enough, topped means topped with Burt's Chili. The other code words stand for melted cheese, grilled tomatoes, and spicy jalapeno peppers, respectively. I mention this because often times people don't care for spicy foods, in which case you can substitute capped for peppered. Capped is the code word for grilled button mushrooms. Either way, I'll still know it's you. Yet just to be sure, in addition to the Hashbrowns, order a city ham biscuit from the DOLLAR$ MENU. Of course it's possible that you may not like City Ham. The name itself can conjure unpleasant connotations if you think too long about it. This isn't important though because you don't have to eat it. It's just something off the DOLLAR$ MENU that you'll order it so I can be sure you're you and not just someone else that happens to be ordering Hashbrowns, covered, diced,
peppered and topped.
After you order and only after the waitress has walked away, I'll ask you if you'd like a spoonful of my Bert's BEST Bowl of Chili. Don't respond verbally, just look me in the eyes, squint slightly in a seductive manner and then open your mouth, stick out your tongue and get ready for a spoonful of Bert's BEST. Taste the chili, the sauteed onions, melted cheese, grilled hickory smoked ham and spicy jalapeno peppers. It doesn't matter if you like the spicy peppers or not. You're going to eat them and they're going to be HOT! So hot your salivation may carry a little piece of grilled hickory smoked ham from the corner of your mouth down the precipice of your chin. Don't wipe it off, let it drip.
When my body stops convulsing and my emotions return from sheer ecstasy, I'll put a $20 bill on the counter. Then I'll get up slowly and walk out the door. Never to see you again.
If this sounds like the kind of thing you're looking for, email me to set up a time to meet. I know I said I'd be there tonight at 10 pm but if more then one woman showed up it would cause confusion. Also, I'd like to make sure you're not a weirdo before we meet."
