Waffle House

It’s Waffle House. Road trip sustenance. It’s an experience, not necessarily a dining one but an experience. If you’ve been here you get exactly what you expect. If you haven’t, it should be on your bucket list.
Quick and easy, in and out kind of breakfast. Perfect for those traveling along the interstate. Nothing even remotely fancy just something to keep you going.

Solid outing at this WH. Got seated and got my order in just a few minutes of arriving. Food was good (hard to mess up breakfast). Overall, thumbs up, would be back.

On any other day I would have given this restaurant 5 stars. The service was slow the food was slow although it did taste good. We only experienced it made it pleasant was Rick James

Yes, I’m a waffle house girl. Sadly though, this location is close to me however I would rather drive to eat at the one on Papermill Drive. This one never seems to be as clean. They are usually busy and with that said extremely slow at turning tables over. I have had my order messed up at this location practically every time I have been here. With that said, Dine at your own risk. I’m not saying I don’t eat here or won’t be back but I usually don’t have the best experience when I am at this particular Waffle House. Hope this helps!
Cheers & Enjoy!

Saturday is Game Day in Knoxville, so I expected Waffle House to be packed with people wearing orange, and I was not disappointed. We don’t do much orange in our household, and besides, weekends are Superhero Days for us, so I was relieved to discover our opponents colors were red, as my boy and I walked in sporting our Green Lantern shirts. We arrived at the perfect time and were able to snag the next to last available booth.
My son ordered the Junior Waffle & Sausage, with peanut butter chips for the waffle. When it arrived, I received one of my infrequent reminders of just how much more work my wife does when it comes to raising our son, as I set out to portion off a quarter of his waffle at a time, butter it, pour syrup on it, and get it ready for him to eat. I’m pretty sure I’m less efficient at that than my wife, but he didn’t seem to mind. After downing more than half of his Apple Juice in just a few huge draws, he began devouring his waffle. This picture shows the second quarter waffle.
I ordered the All-​Star Special. Waffle with PB, Eggs scrambled with cheese, Hash Browns, White Toast, and Crisp Bacon. By the time I finished preparing my son’s food I was hungry enough that I inhaled my waffle before remembering to take any pictures. The waffle was typical Waffle House fare — simply good, and probably the best quickly delivered waffle you’ll ever have. I wish I’d had more peanut butter, but I didn’t feel like waiting for it. Here’s a picture of my other plate containing eggs, hash browns, and bacon.
I realized when the food arrived that I hadn’t ordered the hash browns with any extra toppings. Slightly disappointed at first, I quickly recalled all the times that asking for them without using their special terms (scattered, covered, smothered, etc) resulted in me not getting what I wanted anyway, so plain turned out to be just fine. The bacon was awesome. You’d think it would be hard to screw up bacon, but if you thought that, you’d be very wrong. I continue to be amazed that the line cooks at Waffle House can turn out «crisp bacon» perfectly nearly every single time, while presumably higher paid cooks at much more expensive restaurants routinely get it wrong.
My son ended up putting away three quarters of his waffle before he declared he was, «all done.» Normally we’d sit and enjoy a few minutes of cartoons on his iPad, but there was a crowd standing all along the wall waiting to eat. So I wolfed the rest down, pointed out all the waiting folks to my son, asked him if we should get up so they could have our table and eat. He agreed that yes, that would be the nice thing to do. Little life lessons at the Waffle House.
I can’t say we eat at Waffle House very often, but when we do, we like it — especially our son. Highly recommended for fun breakfast.

A quick breakfast. I like to go on Sunday Morning. The staff is very efficient. You are not left waiting for service. The food is consistent and the plenty of it. Prices are really affordable. I would definitely suggest it for those who are in a hurry and a want a southern breakfast.

I’m really not a fan of this place. For those unfamiliar with the Waffle House, they’re a chain, aptly named Waffle House followed by a three digit number. It seems like you can’t go five miles without passing of of their larger, yellow, plastic light-​up signs. On a whim one Saturday I went to check out this Southern staple.
I had the cheese ‘n eggs with bacon and toast with a side of grits and scattered hash browns «All the Way». I’ll start with the grits first, because I know the least about grits; I liked them and they were probably some of the best grits I’ve ever had, but as my grit experience is limited to restaurants outside of the South which have a Southern cuisine focus, I’m no expert so I can’t speak to their authenticity. The cheese ‘n eggs were pretty done: the perfect blend of cheese to eggs with the eggs melted to the point it molten but not rubbery. My one complaint was that they were small. While it said it came with a beverage, I had to fork over an extra $ 1.50 got me a bottomless cup of so-​so coffee, which is usually the price of a coffee, but there was no mention of me getting my included «beverage». The bacon was pretty standard fare, perhaps a little over done for my taste, but cooked to order. Apparently this place is known for its hash browns and how they top them. They come in three sizes – regular, large, and triple – and can be ordered smothered (w/​sauteed onions), covered (w/​melted cheese), chunked (w/​ham), diced (w/​tomatoes), peppered (w/​jalapenos), capped (w/​mushrooms), topped (w/​chili), country (w/​sausage gravy). «All the Way» means all these things – which more or less equates to a terrible mess with more toppings than potatoes.
The waitstaff is friendly and kind, though I was initially denied an itemized receipt when I asked for one because, «We don’t do them.» The place has a 70’s diner look and feel which makes me thing it could never «look» clean. A drawback to the out-​front kitchen is that you see exactly how things are done: cleaning waffle irons and their surroundings by moving a cloth around with a big kitchen knife; cutting things on the toaster as opposed to on a flat surface; moving and removing eggs from plate to plate until they end up on the right plate. Overall it doesn’t really inspire confidence.
