Waffle House has a reputation for strange encounters.

Round-the-clock service makes the bright yellow restaurants an attractive spot for people from all walks of life — students cramming for exams, workers eating after the graveyard shift and drunks and stoners out for a 2-AM snack.

Not surprisingly, Waffle House has also been the scene of many strange crimes.

Thanks to stoat for the link!

As stoat noted, only a few of these are actually weird, but they're very...Waffle House.

I totally love the Waffle House, but as with anyplace else, I never go unarmed. However, when going there I may take a couple of weapons, rather than one.

You haven't really experienced being young and stupid in America until you have a good late night Waffle House story or perhaps a White Castle one. Lots of people don't like the place but I have loved it since my misspent youth.

I figure the waitress hollers “hold the grass” to the cook and someone takes it the wrong way...

A shootout between five men

Between two men. Among more than two.

Journalism students should really take a few English composition courses.

Waffle House was one of my go to places when I was cramming for finals back in college. Well, when I was taking a break from cramming, actually, but you get the idea.

I love any place where I can get hot tea and deep-fried mozzarella sticks at 3 A.M.

I believe Waffle House hash browns have an addictive drug added to them. I love, love their hash browns-scattered, double covered, double diced. (Let the Waffle House patron understand). Ketchup and Tabasco on the hash browns is essential.

I thought that an especially well-drawn movie character was the menacing but not-very-verbal thug in Fargo who keeps saying: “Go to pancake house.”

Yeah, we did too, and it was beef steaks and potatoes on the grill! How bad off are we? HA!

They really are the best. I always order Hash browns and two grilled cheese when on the run.
Now I'm hungry for WH hash browns.
