Waffle House , what do you think

[wayne foundation 07]

There are several around us and have that neat diner style look, but never have been. I know it gets joked about like White Castle, but wondered about the food.

I've never even seen one in person. Must not be a West Coast thing.

I'm OK with it. It's a $ or two more than I think it should be, but for what it is (basic breakfast food) it's fine.

I've never been to one. But we have a waffle maker, so we're good as far as fresh waffles go.

Waffles at your house then I like peanut butter on mine

I dont get to visit the local Dennys as much as I would like but I get a whole lot of homecooked food, so no complaints here. The menu looks like someplace I would like to visit.

They can vary wildly in quality. When I traveled to Mississippi on business several years back there was one next to my hotel and it was phenomenal. There's several around here, one at a truck stop a couple exits up on the highway, and it's terrible. One in the town where my wife grew up and it's good. A couple between here and Dayton I've stopped at going to shows and such that were decent. It's short order breakfast food, but the prep/cooking isn't idiot proof like other fast food chains, so a lot can depend on the person doing the short order cooking. You can kill bacon or waffles by over or undercooking them, eggs too. The materials may all be the same, but the person prepping and cooking them aren't. Overall I'd say it's worth a shot, but there some risk involved because of variance in quality.

WAFFLE HOUSE's around here (in the Louisville, KY/Jeffersonville, IN area) are largely a crapshoot. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. But when it's bad----it's really, really, REALLY bad. I went to one once out of desperation for wanting some late-night breakfast food and the waffles were thin and limp and the breakfast meats looked like they had been around for a really long time. Denny's, on the other hand, their new pancakes are awesome!!!

We have a competitor locally, Huddle House. I love it.

Whenever I see a Waffle House I stop.

Even with my family, I always sit at the counter. (Love watching them call in the orders and cook)

I always order the same thing: All Star Special w/ eggs scrambled, raisin toast, hash browns scattered ALL THE WAY!

I've never had a bad meal.

Once while traveling on business, I ate breakfast, lunch, AND dinner at Waffle Houses.

One day, if I have to choose a "last" meal, it will be this.

never been to one, we see them every time we are traveling down south but I hold out until we find a Denny's. Waffle House always looked slummy to me

Awesome post - thanks for sharing!

I've only been once, outside the Tampa airport. It was run down and smelled "basementy".

I remember saying to my wife "This is probably not the best example of this chain". I recall being the food being good.

It's a franchise, but they are independently operated so as others have said it varies in terms of service and cleanliness.

But, it's hard to mess up breakfast. I like it, and it's usually pretty good for people watching.
