Waffle House

One of my favorite places for breakfast. You gotta get there at the right time to beat the rush. There is always a line for this place and they have limited seating. This isn’t the kind of place where you sit and sip on your coffee for awhile after your meal. The service is super fast and they have a quick turn around. The staff works like a well oiled machine, from the person cleaning tables, to the wait staff, to the cooks, to the dishwashers. They are a well oiled machine. I enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the whole process.
The restaurant is super clean and not what I’ve come to expect at this kind of restaurant. They almost always have someone to open the doors for you and someone to greet you and show you to an open table. The service is just top notch all round. They have the best coffee. I never liked coffee until I had theirs and now I’m hooked. They make great waffles, but I think the biscuits and gravy are the best. They slice the biscuits in half and put them on the griddle and then drown them in sausage gravy. The griddle gives it a great texture which holds up well under all the gravy. For $ 3 you get 2 biscuits halved and covered in gravy. I don’t think I’ve ever actually finished an order they are so big.
I have to mention that the last time we were there we received not so great service. We sat down at the bar and a few minutes later a man sat down near us also at the bar. The waitress came up and told us she’d be with us in a minute and then proceeded to serve the other customer. I said something to my husband about it and I’m not sure if anyone heard me, but another helpful young waitress promptly came up to take our drink order. The original waitress who was helping the other customer scolded this helpful waitress and said she would be right there to help us. The helpful waitress whispered something to the first waitress and which prompted her to apologize to us for not helping us first. It was all a bit awkward and I felt bad for the young waitress who was just trying to help and displayed great customer service. Then our waitress messed up our food order a bit. I ordered a side of sausage well done because I like it crispy. My husband’s meal came with bacon and it came well done instead and my sausage had no crisp to it. His bacon was almost inedible and I usually like bacon crispy. It was so crisp it crumbled in your hand. Hopefully next time we can sit in the section of the young helpful waitress.

Jim Gaffigan (Comedian) is wrong. Waffle House is amazing. Better than Denny’s. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The bacon was crispy. The coffee was perfect. The biscuits and gravy was perfection. Tasted just like Grandmother’s gravy. And guess what? The place wasn’t filthy. We’ll be back.

If you don’t know what to expect from a place called the Waffle House then you have more issues than this review can solve, or never had a craving for all you can eat breakfast at 2:30 in the morning. This is a greasy spoon that costs what you’d expect.

Waffle House is AWESOME! 24hrs! Great breakfast food! Very consistent. The only thing missing is a Church’s Chicken right next door so I could have my favorite … chicken and waffles!
