>Wafflefags gettin' butthurt.

>>6668787
When sizing up a restaurant I generally look at the people eating there, figuring that's what eating that kind of food makes you look like. The people going in and out of every Waffle House I've every seen looked like shit, so I never could bring myself to eat there.

>>6668787
bait

>>6668787
The worst thing about that place is also best thing about this place. Since they have such shitty standards, and alot of their practice are downright illegal, you can bring your laptop and pop out some porn while whackin' your weasel and you won't get thrown out. Some people will look at your funny, but that's about it.

>bottles of syrup are sticky all over
>sausages look like cat shit
>toast is shit
>table got wiped down with a white rag that turned gray from being dipped in the same bucket of dirty water over and over
>tons of white trash everywhere
Avoid at all costs

>>6668787
>tiny, overpriced burgers
>soggy, greasy fries
>wilted lettuce on every fucking sandwich
>poorly lit
>tables never wiped down
>cashiers always trying to rush you to order
>get shitty with you if you try to add or remove things from your burger during the order (seriously how fucking hard is it to put in 'no lettuce')
>always ALWAYS a fucking line of nose picking tourists and thier kids screaming
Burger King suddenly became a respectable, enjoyable place to eat.
At least you get your fucking moneys worth and get FULL after you eat there.

>>6668787
Never been there. The only ones around are in the shitty parts of the city, so I'm assuming that's for a reason

>>6668885
>At least you get your fucking moneys worth and get FULL after you eat there.
Spoken like a fatty

>>6668885
Don't forget how half the selections on the drink machine are always out.

Waffle House is sort of like the Walmart of restaurants.
A giant catch-all for the flyover states, where you can shuffle in at 3 in the morning wearing your pajamas and crocs and get whatever the fuck you want from breakfast to taco salad to steak n' eggs or fried chicken.
Where most restaurants generally have a 'specific' type of person you see there all the time, Waffle House is boarding house of the rest of the public who don't get out very often because of health, drug, or personal hygiene reasons.

>>6668787
What is that mystical green light shining under the sign, OP?

>>6668938
Illuminates the darkies for easy detection

>>6668876
Literally, why would you want to do this?

>>6668946
Why wouldn't you?

>>6668787

don't forget the flatware presented in a cup of hot dishwater, the dirty rag left on the corner of the table, the fact that the waffles ooze grease when you press into them with your fork, the whores' phone numbers carved into the bathroom stalls, the full cockroach trap in the corner beneath the window, or the toothless crackhead panhandling in the parking lot.

>>6668991
That's what's called "ambiance".

>>6668991

>mfw my waffle houses are clean and have nice people and food

Do you guys live in the ghetto or something?

One of my fondest memories happened in one of those
>Friend's absolutely smashed brother, dad, and dad's friends want to go to Waffle House at like 6 AM
>They are all wasted as hell, as in bloodshot eyes and reeking of liquor, as they walk in and everyone could tell
>Waitress is like 400 years old, doesn't care that four obviously wasted adults took clearly 15 year old kids driving out at 6AM to a Waffle House
>After drinks and food arrive, one of the drunk guys goes to the bathroom
>My friend and I put in his water: salt, pepper, sugar, ketchup, hot sauce, syrup, bits of food from everyone's plate, globs of sticky shit from the table surface, small pieces of chewed gum from under the table, bits of torn napkin, and a straw wrapper
>He returns
>Drinks it without issue
To this day I really don't think he noticed it. He seriously just sipped it all down like there was nothing but ice and water in that cup.

>>6668787
OP's just mad that waffle house doesn't have a hat rack for his fedora.

>>6669424
Same here.
I've had three negative experiences over years of eating at Waffle House.
Once, it took 30 minutes for me to get a goddamn waffle. Never went to that one again.
Another time, they were out of waffle batter, during National Waffle Week. That is some top tier bullshit.
And once I was served by an old lady with a mustache. I almost threw up when I noticed, but the food was fine.

>>6668787
>Be traveling back from Tennessee with friends
>"HEY! Let's stop at a Waffle House for breakfast, it's cheap and we don't have those in Michigan."
>Go there, it's just a cheap greasy spoon
>See "Waffle Sandwich" listed on the menu, order it
>Thinking I'm getting meat between two waffles
>End up just getting a really shitty sandwich consisting of two or three thin slices of ham and a slice of american cheese on white bread that was stuck into a waffle iron for a few seconds

I still hold a grudge against them for that

>>6669853
Next time just order the damn waffle.
That and Hashbrowns.

>>6668885
>Best friend and I try there
>Both get a burger, fries, and drink
>mother fucking 20 bucks
>tasted exactly like Wendy's which has more meat and is cheaper

fuck this place

>>6668787


nigga fuck yo shit

Waffle House is clean as fuck, you can see the whole kitchen and teh grillmen, the waitresses are cute, chubby and definitely put out, and you can get a damn good actual hamburger for a dolla square

I submit to you that WH are not at all awful, and are actually the chemo to the fastfood cancer that is killing the USA

>>6669960
>I submit to you that WH are not at all awful, and are actually the chemo to the fastfood cancer that is killing the USA
You're an idiot.

>Local waffle house
>Always clean
>Wait staff are generally older women but are usually super dear and nice to me
>food tastes great

People always say waffle house gives them the shits and I have to wonder how someone gets such a pussy stomach

Also are you black op? They get robbed a lot so that'd explain the stink eye

Kek, I've only been to one of these, think it was in Texas. All I remember was the half-ass attempt at "cheese fries" which were hashbrowns with what appeared to be a Kraft singles slice of cheese half melted on top. Fuck that place, didn't even have simple tendies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WecWC5DSd54

Everyone knows you go to waffle house for the omelettes.
They have a fucking milkshake blender just for omelettes

>two actual eggs, two slices of toast, a slice of ham, a shit load of hashbrowns, and a waffle for less than $8 and cooked to order.

Waffle house is absolutely based after a night of drinking, just don't go to one near a nigger neighborhood.

I grew up in the south and moved away recently, and I never thought I'd say it, but I fucking miss Waffle House.

Sure there are places here to get waffles, but none quite on the level of Waffle House as a go-to 3 AM drunk spot. You have to put on your blinders sometimes, to the waitresses, to the other people in there, but damned if it ain't great .

Have you twats even been to Waffle House? Every one I've been in has been clean, nice waitresses, and an experienced grillman behind the counter.

Hash browns "all the way" (including gravy and chili) is one of the finest plates of food you can get at a diner. I order just that and a cup of coffee, walk up to the jukebox and put on Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On", announcing to the other customers that it is dedicated to my hash browns. When the song is done, so are my hash browns.

You people are pathetic with your "wafflehouse is bad" meme shit.

>>6668787
Talking Bout Subway?

>>6669987

>>6669980

>your and idiot

>>6670413
Faggot.

>>6670403
I went to one on my first visit to the south on a family road trip. Parents didn't want to, but the kids clamored for it so they gave in because vacation and why not.

It was shockingly bad, my family still jokes about waffle house to this day, and this was maybe 20 years ago.

How terrible must your life be that you actually go there as a repeat customer. Just goes to show you the cultural divide between north and south. If we can't even agree on what is and isn't food, how can we agree on whether the civil war was about you people being backwards slave owning hicks, or "freedom"?

>>6668787
Agreed
I'm from up north & went to one of these in Florida a few years back expecting it to be amazing with all the hype the southerners give it.
Dirty, greasy, unclean utensils, waitresses giving zero fucks & smelling like ash trays, grits on part with cat food, eggs burnt, bacon burnt, waffles burnt, full of spooks
No thanks, I'll take a diner any day over that slop

I'm from Georgia where there is a Waffle House on every interstate exit, and sometimes even two. You carbetbaggers piss me off. Look at a fucking Waffle House. It looks like a rundown piece of shit diner, because it is a rundown piece of shit diner. It's the place you go to at 3 in the morning after getting plastered and failing to fuck that loose slut you had your eye on the whole night. It's where you go to cry into a plate of decent hashbrowns covered in cheese, ham, and your regrets, wondering when your life took a turn for the worse. It's where you go to make yourself feel better by looking at the other pathetic losers who are finding comfort in bland waffles, burnt coffee, and a waitress named Laqueefa.

It's a Goddamn Waffle House. It's shit, it's cheap, and fuck you we love it.

>>6668884
Ex busser here. Most restaurants do that rag thing. Nobody is going to make a new bucket of fucking bleach water every single table.

>>6670357
This, this, this, this, this, this

You get basic breakfast food at a good price. Avoid the special snowflake sandwiches and their attempts at creating an upscale menu. The WH locations near me are all really clean, but I have seen some dirty ones when traveling. I guess it depends on the region.

>Go to a single restaurant out of thousands
>Have a bad experience
>Whine about it for multiple years

Waffle Houses are all franchised, which means the cleanliness of the building and quality of the food is directly related to how much of a fuck the owner gives. Sorry your weak northern genes can't handle anything that isn't homogeneous paste.

Also, once you've lived or traveled through the south enough, you're able to spot at a glance whether a Waffle House is shitty or not. You might understand it better as like how you're able to tell at a glance when a straight looking man wants to fill your quivering boipussy or when he simply thinks you're a faggot.

>>6671050
>getting this defensive about a shitty chain restaurant
lol do you own a WH franchise or something?

>>6670858
I only go there when friends visit who don't have a Waffle House where they live, usually at their request. I don't eat out a lot.

Also I live in an abolitionist state. Your misplaced conjecture is weird. Keep projecting.

>>6671180
Go look up what "projecting" means before you try to misuse pop psychology terms to appear smart.

>>6671090
I bet you're one of those awful human beings that tries something once, and if it didn't meet their expectations, they never give it a second chance. You're probably a picky eater, too. Did your mom make you eat formula when you were a baby, denying you the bonding between mother and child? Was she a single parent? Did you not have a strong male role model in your development years? Maybe you had an older sister, so you had to wear her hand me downs? I just want to get to the root of why you're a shitty person, Anon! LET ME HELP YOU

>>6671200
Get a load of this guy. Are you the one in the EBT thread freaking out because someone who wasn't on welfare had an opinion on it?

>>6671218
lol i was about to say, this guy seems as confrontational as the ebt guy

what's with all the hostility in /ck/ today

>>6671221
It's summer mate.

>>6670858
There is no argument there. It was about states' rights and more specifically Article 10 of the constitution. You're literally retarded if you think it was about slavery. Lincoln didn't give a fuck about slavery, at its height only 1.2% of the population owned slaves. Northerners had slaves and the Northern slave owners who lent their slaves to the war effort were given restitution whereas there were 65,000 black fighting on the southern side many of whom were free.

>>6670876
I've been to many a waffle house in my time and not once have I seen a nonwhite waitress. Hardly ever see coloreds in there at all.

>>6670858
Lets also remember that like 80% of exports and GDP was coming from the south at the time and they were tired of getting fucked over. Thats the real reason they didn't want the south to leave the Union.

Also, not all southern people are hicks and there are lots of hicks up north as well. That is more of a country vs city thing than a north vs south thing.

>>6668787
>he doesn't live in Georgia
It's pretty nice having almost half of all Waffle Houses. Plus, down here they are well run and all manner of folk stroll in. Business people fueling up in the morning on coffee and grits, degenerate junkies at 3am crashing into a plate of hashbrowns.

Truly one of the best restaurants for what it is

>>6670403
> experienced grillman
0/10 too obvious

>>6671244
It's been over 150 years, just admit it was slavery so you can move past it.

>>6671247
Then you've never been to one in Atlanta.

>>6671244
Crack a fucking book sometime, the south said, at the time, that it was about slavery. Everything else is post war revisionism to make the southerners look less like traitors and slavers.

"It has grown until it denies the right of property in slaves, and refuses protection to that right on the high seas, in the Territories, and wherever the government of the United States had jurisdiction.

It refuses the admission of new slave States into the Union, and seeks to extinguish it by confining it within its present limits, denying the power of expansion.

It tramples the original equality of the South under foot.

It has nullified the Fugitive Slave Law in almost every free State in the Union, and has utterly broken the compact which our fathers pledged their faith to maintain.

It advocates negro equality, socially and politically, and promotes insurrection and incendiarism in our midst.

It has enlisted its press, its pulpit and its schools against us, until the whole popular mind of the North is excited and inflamed with prejudice.

It has made combinations and formed associations to carry out its schemes of emancipation in the States and wherever else slavery exists."

>>6671244
You do realize that slavery proved to be the spark that ignited the whole states rights powder keg right?
I understand claiming it wasn't all about slavery after all the conflict had been brewing since the nation was established but saying slavery didn't play a role in it at all is outright erroneous.
Also slavery was abolished in all states in what we would consider the geographic north of the U.S. However there were several states on the north south border that where slave states which stuck with the union when war broke out. So the union had slave owners but I really wouldn't call those border states northerners

njfag here, is waffle house like a shitty franchise version of diners?

>>6671250
I don't think it's true that the south accounted for 80% of the U.S. Export gdp. If they did then why was the north able to economically crush them?
Also even if they were responsible for that much of the U.S. Economy the southern economy was unsustainable and on the decline as the majority of plantation owners where in debt

>>6671405
Franchise yes, shitty is a case by case basis.

>>6671411
Probably because "exports" included raw unprocessed materials such as cotton, sent to the north which had actual manufacturing capabilities. Something the south lacked at the time because they were completely dependent on an imported labor force that worked for free.

>>6671422
But how are they exports if they stay within the U.S. Economy? I'm under the impression a nations exports leave the country.
Also the slave trade had been abolished by the time the civil war broke out so the southerners where no longer importing their workforce from abroad.
There was a lot of internal sale of slaves in the U.S. Tho

>>6669777
But that's wrong. Almost every single one has a coat rack near the entrance.

>>6671431
Because the CSA and the USA were different countries?
>I'm under the impression a nations exports leave the country.
Yes, and?

>>6671431
> the slave trade had been abolished

Are you crazy? The slave trade extended long past the US Civil War. Not in the US of course but in other countries around the world.

>>6668945
lol

>>6671552
The person I was rebutting said that the south accounted for 80% of the U.S. Exports so I'm assuming they where referring to the U.S. Prior to southern succession.

>>6671557
>>6671557
Fine the trans Atlantic slave trade had be abolished in the U.S. Long before the civil war.
No to mention once Great Britain outlawed slavery put their naval might behind preventing the trade from continuing

>>6670858
>Doesn't know shit about history
>makes 20 year long jokes about a chain restraint because of 1 bad experience.


Northerners are fucking retarded.

>>6668885
But they don't add literally any fixings or condiments unless you specifically ask for them

Are you rusing me?

>Waffle House
>not IHOP
IHOP is the Synagogue of Satan in comparison to Waffle House.

>>6668912
And that's why I love Waffle House, it's comfy as fuck no matter who you are. Also GA fag here, I have yet to go to a Waffle House where the wait staff are old hags, but they sure do look like it. From my experience in Georgia the typical waitress acts like a sweet granny to anyone who enters the door.

There is no defending their awful sanitation standards but I find that I prefer their food over IHOP, Martain's, and Cracker Barrel any day of the week.

its nice to eat at an IHOP or Waffle House once every 10-20 years

>hasn't been to Casa Bonita

You're missing out OP

>>6671244
Good Lord. What is "Bleeding Kansas" for 100, Alex?

>>6669960

>the waitresses are cute, chubby and definitely put out

Is this true?

The best waffle houses I've been to have been the ones staffed by negroes, true story

>>6672503
That does seem to be a recurring theme I've noticed.
Like how waitresses at Denny's are always pissed off.

>>6668787
>ask for hash browns with mushrooms and onions
>get it with chili

fuck these niggers.

The seediness is part of the Waffle House's charm. You just gotta lower your standards.

>>6672620
>>6672620

Bert's chili is great, you just eat what you are given, boy. stop complaining for under ten bucks

>>6672503
no. you find a cute WH waitress you take her out of that place immediately and marry or pimp that bitch. they are rare.

>>6672662
>under ten bucks
I don't know if it's all wide, but they have a new $5 menu. I can get 2 eggs and a double order of hashbrowns. Toppings are 35 cents each, of course, but you're a literal degenerate if you get more than 3 toppings (unless you go All The Way).

>>6670877
This shit right here is why you go into a restaurant and sit down to a freshly wet table and smell that fucking old mildew mold smell. Cause they don't use clean water.

>>6670357
>>6671017

why not just make your own breakfast at 3am? Bacon, eggs, carton hashbrowns, and toast take 5 minutes total to cook and with minimal mess. Why pay $8 to get food you could make better at home for far less and in just as much time?

>>6676051

Because buying all those ingredients costs $20, and a single person isn't likely to eat it all before it spoils

>>6676051
>bacon takes 5 minutes to cook

You're fucking gross for eating raw or microwaved bacon.

>>6676395
You can buy bacon by the gram, eggs last a while and have many uses
Also
>what is a freezer

>>6676395
Are you fucking retarded? Bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns are easy as fuck for a normal person to make. Anyone who isn't cooking illiterate should have eggs in their fridge at all times. Potatoes keep well, are incredibly cheap, and require no refrigeration, and bacon keeps for a long fucking time and is freezable. It's like you think that eggs and potatoes are exotic, expensive items that spoil too quickly to be used. You're obviously a fucking retard.

TL;DR: Anon probably thinks that any recipe that isn't ramen based is demanding haute cuisine.

I live in Alabama, so sadly I'm well versed in the art of Waffle and Huddle house.

My local Waffle House lodges homeless people at night time. Keeps the staff company at 2 in the morning.

The hashbrowns are okay, but everything else is disgusting. I've eaten there at least 3-4 times this year.

>>6676437
>Are you fucking retarded? Bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns are easy as fuck for a normal person to make.

Never said they were difficult, read again

> Anyone who isn't cooking illiterate should have eggs in their fridge at all times.

And anyone who isn't health illiterate is well aware of the concerns of eating high cholesterol foods on a daily basis. Of course, considering you feel the need to be able to eat eggs and bacon at 3am a staple of your cuisine I can easily guess at both your intelligence and waistline

> Potatoes keep well, are incredibly cheap, and require no refrigeration

That is true. Obviously I wasn't referring to potatoes spoiling rapidly as opposed to open packs of bacon and eggs. It's obvious you're grasping for straws at this point as you need to mince statements in an attempt to construct a strawman

> and bacon keeps for a long fucking time and is freezable.

Untrue. Spoils rapidly in the refrigerator. As for freezing? Having to separate ask the slices, using miles and miles of plastic wrap or aluminum foil? Extremely wasteful for a low payoff.

> It's like you think that eggs and potatoes are exotic, expensive items that spoil too quickly to be used.

Cute, you throw out your own ideas and ignore my own. You're missing a key word here: for the average person. I will not eat an entire carton of eggs and bacon in a single week before these things spoil. I watch my portions and eat a varied diet. If you consider waking at 3am and eating a pound of bacon and crate of eggs, a bag of hashbrown and several biscuits to sate minchies 'normal' I assure you, you are far from average (average American, perhaps).

> You're obviously a fucking retard.

Obviously at this point I'm far from having to refute myself. Don't feel too embarrassed, your clogged arteries can only sluggishly pump so much fatty blood to your weak brain.

>>TL;DR: Anon probably thinks that any recipe that isn't ramen based is demanding haute cuisine.

tl;dr Read my post

>>6669960
This man knows the waffle house truth. Fuck I want some hashbrowns

>>6668912
Wait so chain Greasy spoon?

The first time I had ever been to a Waffle House, I was 18 and had just moved to northern GA to be with my boyfriend (now husbando). I had no money so we walked to a nearby ATM and a cop came running at us with a baton, asking what we were doing. We told him we were getting money from the ATM for Waffle House, I quickly finished my transaction, and we ran back up there while he had an embarrassed look on his face. I guess we looked like we were up to no good.

We get to Waffle House, order, and begin eating. Two female crackheads appeared and stared at us. After a time, they started small talk--nothing out of the ordinary. We went to pay and they started talking about how they were going to steal all my money and some other belongings. I was puzzled, and didn't know how to react, but they took that as me being scared. We quickly shuffled off into the night. I woke up a few hours later with the worst diarrhea I've ever had.

I've been here for a good 6-7 years now and I refuse to eat at Waffle House after a few more bad experiences. I'd rather make my own food, knowing that it's less expensive, clean, and that I'm not playing a dangerous game of 'Don't Catch the Mudd-Butt!'

>>6676051
>take 5 minutes total to cook
have you ever cooked bacon before?

>>6668876
thank you for making me laugh
