Sometimes you just have to...
But, nothing good happens in a Waffle House after 2:00 AM.

I love Waffle House, but can't eat at one that is not in Florida. Florida bans smoking in restaurants. I went to a Waffle House in Alabama where the smoke from the patrons exceeded the smoke from the three foot grill. Cough, hack, wheeze!
Scattered, smothered, and covered, please!

I was about to mention the pre smoking ban Waffle House to the present ban. I know that alot of hams used meet up there. I think the truckers called these places "choke & puke.
Back in my public drinking days, we would stop in after the bars closed. I really don't remember much of those nights. I must of had a good time.

You know it. :mrgreen:
There is one in Carrollton [suburb of Dallas] that was not too far from the end of Harry Hines Boulevard, that infamous strip of asphalt known for its, ah, working girls. More than once after working Second Shift I'd stop in for a late-night nosh [the food, mind your mind!] to see a john treating his "date" to an after-business meal.
Overall, I've not had a bad experience in a WH, regardless of the time of day [or night]. It's the only place I've found thus far that will scramble eggs with American cheese. :D

The smell is hard to wash off of other things that were hard too. :clap:

You should probably down a fat absorber before eating there.

I would just assume not eat there at all. I'm sure you've watched them cook. The yellow mystery oil is the stuff we should be concerned about. Then have you seen the big giant whip cream covered waffle? A waffle made with Marvelous Mystery Oil no less. If you just have to eat there, stick to eggs, sunny side up since if they whip they, yep, more mystery oil.

Oh, yeah, I've seen how they cook. And while I'm being generous and assuming that the stuff is vegetable oil, even I don't eat there [or in any one restaurant/chain, really] all the time. Everything in moderation. My comment above was/is with tongue firmly in cheek. :agree:

Cheap and fast... chilled fake crab legs, with wasabi and ginger dipping sauce.
Maybe some hot mustard too.

The "Mystery Oil" is vegetable oil. My son is a cook at a Waffle House, he should know.
Yeah, the food may not be good for you, but most Southern cooking isn't. Southern men may die fat, may die with coronary disease, but with the good food Mamma and later the wife cook (assuming the man married a fine Southern girl whose own Mamma taught her how to cook), Southern men die HAPPY.
Get your hash browns scattered, smothered and covered, and for a real taste treat, TOPPED with Bert's Chili. It looks like Alpo, but tastes fantastic. Top it off with a double slice of chocolate cream pie, and that's some fine eating there, I kid you not.
I eat there at least three times a week, and I'm still on the green side of the sod. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Sounds good but, we have REAL crabs crawling all over the place. Homemade crab boil seasoning and a big ole pot o hot water. But leave Louie, Louie the Bar Crab alone. He picks up your crumbs. He's like a little dog and smart as a whip!

Yes, we old geezers sitting in that corner booth all day have our own association. :D

No dress code, we hardcore OFs tend to look like bums, no matter what the financial condition.
We have doctors, dentists, lawyers (some retired and some still active), lots of retired local politicians, lots of retired military guys, lots of retired everything. :rofl:

You know you're a member when you walk in the door, they greet you by name, and don't even bother taking your order because they have it memorized. An added bonus is if you don't show up at the Waffle House for a few days, they call the local hoosegow to see if you're a guest at the graybar hotel. :snicker:

I don't like to be too predictable, so I mix up my food orders. There are 2 things they know for sure, my name and coffee, if the wife is with me make it decaf. :shifty
According to my cardiologist and wife, decaf only for me. When she ain't around, gimme the good stuff. :D
Last time I was in a Waffle House was in Virginia in the 80s. If you were from up north, a college student or a shade too dark, you got the message. The XYL had the exact same experience. Her story was straight Deja-Vu.
Liked the food, but I've developed an rather strong allergy to some of their customers. Especially a really large guy named Bubba and his two toadies.

Piss on that. IF we have less than 100 years to live we have to do it right and make it less than 50! :rofl: Looks like youve already won. :snicker:
Anyway if it is decaf what is the point?
