THANK you!
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?
Sort of. They're just on the other side of a waist high divider. They aren't cooking for show, but you can see what they're doing.
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.
no one on earth
fucks better
than waffle house waitresses
the secret ingredient is meth
I really like you. Not as much as a wavvenhaus hure.
Yain't seen shit son.
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.
Anywhere where you can get a meal for $3.18 in 2024 is good in my book
I think it was a joke
Joke aside, I don't want a tourist to end up in Waffle House because of misinterpreting the meme and end up stabbed trying to convince the coked up cook to do a little show.

That food is just fine and partially sustained my life for years. Double order of hashbrowns crispy with onion and chili. That's all you need for a day and it's cheap and good.
It's also how you know to evacuate in the south. Until waffle house closes you're ok.
Also a measure of damage done.
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?
The show is usually a restaurant-wide brawl. You even get to participate in it if you want.
Haha who knows?
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
I agree but it is pink mayo.
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.
Same. Cooking 4 pounds of bacon at once is wild.
This is fondue raclette in French Canada.
A winery near me does a raclette weekend for Valentine's Day where you get a plate of raclette with a glass of wine.
There's a restaurant in NYC, or at least there was, where they serve you some basic meat and potatoes then scrape a pound of raclette on your plate. It was delicious. Name of the place? "Raclette"
it's just a flattop gang
I am starving
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.
My spouse bought a box of the hash brown and waffle mix each from WH online, and so he made them for breakfast at Christmas one year. He also bought me Waffle House socks.
I'm a fan of the patty melt personally, though a nice loaded hash brown hits the spot too
What the fuck is hibachi?
Japanese Waffle House
It's a type of restaurant, Japanese food, where they grill the food in front of you.
Oh, is Habachi just like a brand name of teppanyaki in the US?
No, it's the name from the Japanese word..
The terms got confused during the introduction of teppanyaki-style food to America in the 60's. One theory being that "hibachi" is a lot easier for Americans to pronounce, so the marketers for the first teppanyaki restaurants in America chose that term instead.
Mmmm, hash browns
