Waffle House before the bars close and the drunks come in is a far different place than Waffle House afterwards. If you’re an adventurous sort and enjoy seeing total strangers putting the fun in dysfunction, go there on a weekend night after 2 AM. Avoid the ones located in sketchy parts of town, though. Those can get ugly. I actually like the food there, and the gritty but humble sorts of women who can handle being waitresses there. Real slice of life stuff.
Covered and smothered. On occasion we would venture in to one near I-95 in Cocoa Fl. Interesting to say the least.
