I’ll have a plate of waffles, some sausage links, orange juice, two eggs over medium, a ‘64 Cadillac, and a ‘63 Lincoln, please.
Actually, it strikes one how apparently upscale this waffle house is at this point in time.

Man, I could fuck up some Waffle House right now.

Not from waffle house

The newer ones (away from interstate exits) are surprisingly decent. It’s the ones right by the exit that are destroyed.
We have one hidden
in an upper-middle class
Publix parking lot/outparcel and when I went in, I suddenly felt bad I
was in a t-shirt.

Not even a ‘60s Waffle House that has Lincoln and Cadillac-driving clientele and specializes in steaks
? Then again, those might just be old people with the cars, not swagtacular people
.

A new generation is coming around to the Waffle House concept. It’s my daughter’s favorite place to meet up with her friends after a school event.

Classiest Waffle House I ever saw.
Also - I need to know more about the Chick Fil A for dinner at Waffle House?? This confused me.

My highschooler and his friends go for IHOP. I’ve driven past hundreds of Waffle Houses, but I don’t think I’ve ever eaten at one.

Huh . I hadn’t noticed that.

Love me some Waffle House on a road trip.

If it’s the family, we go to IHOP. If it’s just the kids, they want Waffle House.

Over the High General Whiteness Event Horizon? Well, okay. But still - waffles.

You are truly missing out on one of the greatest dining experiences in the world, and I mean that with zero irony. 24/7 operation, everything basically cooked from scratch, right in front of you. It’s like watching a Guy Fieri show or something. They feel like one-off restaurants and not like a chain. All of them are a little different.
In comparison, IHOP just feels like a generic hotel lobby repeated across the country
.

They sold a licensed Chick -Fil-A sandwich at their first restaurant for a bit

I had noticed that. “Chick-Fil-A” wasn’t the name of the company until ‘67, so it may be that that was a colloquial spelling of the time that was (obviously) not yet under trademark.

But.....the pancakes .
Way back in 1985 , the ODU pep band went out to Western Kentucky for a basketball tournament. There was a Waffle House next to the hotel, and they were advertising all-you-can-eat catfish. Randall, a rather large man and perhaps the loudest trombone player in the history of the instrument (his unamplified solo on Peter Gunn could silence a basketball stadium) , decided he would head over and tuck in to all the catfish he could eat . After some number of plates (I don’t remember how many) , the waitress refused to serve him any more food . He said, “But it says ‘all-you-can-eat.’” The waitress replied, “Son, I think you’ve had all you can eat.” They ended up taking a couple dollars off his bill, but they would not give him any more catfish.

I went to a waffle house for the firs t time last week. It was every bit as depressing as I’ve been told it would be and I loved it.

We just tried to go to the Waffle House near us and it was irrationally packed for a late Monday morning. Didn't feel like waiting so we went to IHOP.

I could go to a Perkins -- maybe they'll think I'm Tiger

I don’t think it matters if they think you’re Tiger as long as you’re wearing golf clothes, since golf clothes are like an unofficial badge of being Severely White regardless the color of the person in them. Right?

Not quite. I was just going in to get waffles and get free strange from a female staff member.
