I love local diners, but my husband refuses to go to a Waffle House because of their no gun policy. So the only time we go there these days is when we are doing an outside meet-up for dog rescue transport runs. They do have a place to pee the dogs!
I go to Huddle House. It is the Waffle House for towns too small for a Waffle House.
Also, I once found a very curly small human hair on my fired eggs at a Waffle House in Montgomery, AL. Gross! Never been there since.
