Anybody who dumps chili and sausage gravy on hash browns is aces in my book!
Yeah, but now they’ve gone PC and turned their backs on their former customers. Not the same as before.
Nowadays, it’s too quiet and orderly at Waffle House. No more short-order cooks storming out slamming the glass door or throwing a plate at a waitress or a waitress throwing one at the cook. All the fun is gone from Waffle House.
Nice article.
I went to Waffle House once, in Austin TX.
Only disappointment for me was they didn’t have chicken fried steak.
I always look forward to some Waffle House visits when I hit the South.
Don’t bother stopping around Kansas City at a Waffle House, they are nasty dirty dumps full of tweekers for customers and employees. I assume the area manager must be a dirtbag because that is what they hire.
I love to stop at Waffle House when I am traveling but I avoid them around KC. Same exact senerio with IHOP. In Kansas City alot of the IHOPs are owned by Mudslimes.
Stopped going to the Waffle Houses in Georgia.
Too many Amish gave the places kind of a tension that wasn’t good for enjoying breakfast.

Yeah but the food stinks.
Waffle House just took the concept of the all night diner, greasy-spoon sort of places that serve breakfast all day and cleaned it up, formalized it into a concept and grew it from there. They’re all over the place here, to the point that I didn’t even realize it was regional to the south. There are other lesser known examples in the same mold, for instance Huddle House.
Quality is hit and miss from store to store but when it’s good, it’s very good.
I’ve eaten at waffle house all my 48 years of being a Georgia boy.
IN the 90’s...hurricane Opal ripped through Villa Rica, Ga(Thirty miles west of Atlanta). No one had power. But the local waffle house was open...the cook slinging hashbrowns by the light of a coleman lantern.
The late, great Lewis Grizzard said:
1. We oughta elect more waffle house cooks to congress, they wouldn’t forget why we sent them there.
2. Waffle house is the only place where you could pick up your tbone and eat that best meat right off the bone.
some years ago I drove my daughter back to college after a weekend at home and decided to stop in at the Waffle House for supper, we’d done most of the other resturants and I was hungry for W-H. None up here in the DC area. She was not sure she wanted to go there, but I insisted. After that visit and the “Cheesey eggs” and hash browns with cheese, she is a confirmed W-H customer.
Hash browns scattered and smothered! And their scrambled eggs & cheese are the best tasting in the business.
Too many businesses confuse “efficiency” with “minimalization”. Waffle House provides what the customer wants, not just what is most efficient to provide.
Starbuck’s efficiently provides their customers what they want too. Not just a coffee but a chance to be snooty.
Try the one in platte city.
There’s 20 of them in Indiana. Most all of them from Muncie south, but concentrated mostly around Indy. I’ve et at the one in Anderson a few times when I was working in the area.
Never disappointed.
Indiana from Indy on down is one of the more southern-feeling places outside the south. Not surprised.
