    Waffle House food isn’t meant to be enjoyed sober. It isn’t even meant to be enjoyed buzzed. You gotta be to the point where you don’t remember how the fuck you got there, but that All-Star Special be lookin delicious.

      I feel like 10-15 years ago Waffle House was a really decent greasy spoon diner for the money. I remember being able to get an all star special for five bucks. I just looked it up and they’re wanting $13-14 now…

        I don’t know if it’s still tru, but they used to be the number one steak restaurant in the country because their streaks were so cheap.

        I went recently and the eggs were the only decent part. Waffle was worse than literally any hotel lobby. Bacon tasted like the cheapest, budget Walmart shit. More porky than bacony and not in a good way, if that’s even possible. Toast would’ve been fine except they fail my nigh-scientifically reliable diner/family restaurant test:

        • Do they serve Coke or fake shit?

        • Do they provide real butter or fake shit?

        If they don’t have enough pride in their restaurant to do those two things, your best-case is now mediocre. Leave! You’re better than Pepsi and margarine, friends.

          Coke is the fake shit, I’m not stanning pepsi, but fuck the assholes at coke for assuming they own the planet.

              I went there recently after many years and enjoyed the eggs over easy and the hash browns, I did use Tabasco. I guess I don’t know what soda they had because I just got a decaf coffee. I was expecting a shit meal and ended up tipping quite a bit because the cost, food, and service were all way better than I expected.

      I don’t know I’ve been to the waffle House in Colorado springs and it was actually pretty decent. I was actually kind of sad that I went there twice now and no fights. A legit asked the waitress about that since I’d never been to one before and I really wanted to see some shit happening. She said that I had just missed the six completely blitzed college chicks that got into a major fight in the middle of the restaurant.
