    I don't understand why people shit on Waffle House.

    Where else can you go where someone will cook real eggs right in front of you, and cook them correctly?

    Fried over easy, perfect every time.

    I've never been to one as there are none near me. They cook in front of you hibachi style?

    Depends on where you sit. They have booths and like a bar seating area. The griddle is behind the counter of the latter. Only been to a couple myself as there also aren't any near me, but if you're ever shit-housed at 2 am and you're South of the Mason Dixon line, give it a go. I was thoroughly disappointed with the last one I attempted to go to though. Apparently some locations since Covid are takeout only after midnight. That was literally the only time I've ever gone. It's not the same taking it to go.

    I've been to many diners that do that consistently better than Waffle House.

    The dividing line I have found is if the diner does really good biscuits. If the biscuits are good, they're generally better than Waffle House. But most diner type places near me are awful. They cater toward the 75+ crowd. Weak coffee and bland, nasty food. It's either mush, or dry as hell.

    My favorite time was on the road with some friends (we're all from up in them thar mountains, so it's not like we were a bunch of New Yorkers) and 5/6 of us could not for the life of us understand our waitress, and we thought she might be speaking a foreign language, until one of our number, who was fluent in the Waffle House dialect of gibberish, translated for us.

    Absolutely. We're pretty sure she was shooting up between waffles, but we all knew when walking out that it could've gone MUCH weirder.

    Ok so me (bald white man) and my boy (Puerto Rican, braids), were eating at a waffle House beside our hotel late. The two waitresses came up, very young, and said are you the movie guys?

    We're like what?

    One of them said yeah you're staying at the hotel, we make a movie and get paid. We tipped and dipped.

    Eh? Whoever made this either went to a unique one or don't know what they're talking about.

    Waffle Houses are not spectacles. They're as basic as they come. Basic seating. A gal who calls you "suga" and a mute cook who doesn't give you eye contact. You might be able to see the grill if you're sitting at the bar. But that's like saying you can see the grill at your McDonald's.

    People go there because you can get a cheap breakfast for like $3.18 cents.

    It's not good. It's not bad. It's not anything.

    I thought the whole point of hibachi was that they do it right in front of you and maybe even put on a show. Do the cooks at Waffle House even know how to make an onion volcano?

    Thank god they don’t dump mayo— I mean, “yum yum sauce” — on everything at Waffle House

    That sauce is fucking delicious and I will NOT stand for it being slandered in this fashion

    Yumyum is watered down Thousand Island dressing and I will fucking stab anyone who tries to take me off this hill. You like Yumyum? That's because you don't know that they used to do a savory mustard sauce that was meant only for gods, but the recipe was stolen and pased on to man, like Promethean fire. Now you just get that plastic encapsulated Kraft dribble instead. Fuck Yumyum sauce.

    I bought a bigass camp chef griddle for our back yard based on waffle house and japanese hibachi and it is completely worth it.

    A winery near me does a raclette weekend for Valentine's Day where you get a plate of raclette with a glass of wine.

    I'm sorry I'm late to the party.

    A single hash brown all the way, meaning with cheese, country, gravy, chili, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions. I think even jalapenos. it's glorious. Add an iced tea and you're at $11.50. just make sure your drive isn't more than 20 minutes to get home.
