I was gonna say… I grew up in CA. My first time eating Waffle House was in my 20’s on a trip to Florida with my college lacrosse team. It was across the street from the hotel, and was and still open when we stumbled in after a night of drinking. 10/10. Would recommend to drunk people.
It is simultaneously worth it and a complete letdown. Honestly the worse one you can find the better. We were the only ones there and hijacked the jukebox playing the worst songs we could find. we tipped well.
Hell yeah. I live near a waffle house, and the jukebox is my favorite part. Last time I went my friends and I were also the only ones there, it was super fun. The staff were super chill. A great vibe imho.
Not really pedantic, just pointing out you’re wrong…
Born and raised in an area with no Waffle House for hundreds of miles. I think I would have to go out of state and drive for several hours before coming close to one. They’re not everywhere in the US.

lol, found the pedant! Entirely fair though, the title was more of a mood than factual.
Not really pedantry when it’s associated with a specific region of the US.
If you grew up in the Northeast or west coast you’ve likely never seen a waffle house.

You have stumbled upon the gist of its appeal.
Mainly since I wanna try Waffle House but it isn’t in my state, or the next state, or the state next to that one.

I lived in NW Atlanta near an intersection with Waffle Houses on two opposite corners. Glorious.
Sometimes I complain about the US, but then I hear heartwarming stories like this. And you know what? Fuck yes to catercorner Waffle Houses!

My nearest is two states away
And on super early, calm Saturday mornings you can probably still hear the bullets whizzing by from the nearest one…
At least it makes it easy to find the people worth blocking.
Sorry that I wanted to enjoy a restaurant.
