Alas, Hawaii has none.

Is there still a "Ken's House of Pancakes" at the corner of Kanoeolehua Avenue and Hawaii Belt Rd.?

Regards,

No egg problems here, there are signs for fresh eggs at multiple homes within blocks. Pruning the fruit trees has begun and all is well.

It is true in a lot of areas. During COVID and since, Cracker Barrel seem to be mostly understaffed and the wait for food and quality has really gone down in the areas I go to.

I still eat there some, but not as much.

I don’t mind that at all as long as I get my food in a reasonable time and its good.

The ex wife waitressed at Waffle House so that has bad memories. Love the food at Cracker Barrell but all the farm tools hanging by threads in the store part really puts me on edge.

I don’t mind it either. It’s just an observation.

NEVER stop at a Waffle House on a road trip at an interstate exit, or in a neighborhood you don't know, or near a mall.

Then I guess that rules out Waffle House for me.

Do they have maple syrup, or just the maple-flavored corn syrup?

Do I prefer Cracker Barrel or Waffle House? NEITHER. I prefer the locally owned diner, where all the important decisions are made in the kitchen by someone who could be a neighbor, and not by some nameless, faceless person at a corporate office located in another state.

The author labels Waffle House as woke. What justifies this label?

I take it they have seen it all and can dish out whatever you try on them.

Ever seen the video of the fight where some “Amish” woman throwing a chair and the girl behind the counter just caught it and threw it back.

Cracker Barrel has been cutting costs where they can.

I am more of a Waffle House because of their dedication to opening their stores quickly after a hurricane passes through. CB would be closed where WF would be open.

Look at Matt Mitchell’s “How waffle house trains the night shift” on youtube. He mentions Cracker Barrel.
