Waffle House

Yesterday morning we decided to go have a nice breakfast/​brunch before heading out to a Mother’s Day cookout at my parents’. We decided to try a place with good reviews that was specifically for breakfast or brunch. When we got there and as we were parking, I remembered that not only was it Sunday and there is a church crowd, but people are taking their mothers out. We assumed there was going to be a wait we weren’t willing to go through. Our assumptions were correct (assuming doesn’t always make an ass out of you and me, MOM!) We noped right the hell out of there. We’ll try you later.
Waffle House is not a place you go if you want a great breakfast experience under normal circumstances. It’s always been one of those «holy hell, am I hungover» or «wow, I am seriously, desperately hungry. Anything will do… because it’s the only place around open or without a wait» places. We were in the second category.
I have never seen a Waffle House so packed. It was chaos. People who clearly don’t love their mothers that much actually brought their mothers! Luckily when we got there, there were two stools at the counter, because after that there was actually a wait. People were seriously waiting, with the mothers, to eat at Waffle House.
I will commend our waitress. She was helpful. I know that the steak and eggs breakfast is small and not good. I know that. I ordered it anyway because I didn’t want to be too full later. When I ordered it, she showed me on the menu that there was a t-​bone that was five ounces larger and in her words, «a much better cut» for not much more money. I really did appreciate that, but I told her that I really did just want the pitiful steak. The look on her face clearly said she thought I may be touched in the head. That made me giggle inside.
I’m sure that t-​bone was better, because the little steak I got tasted no more than like some hamburger meat made to kind of look like a steak. I really don’t know why I chose to get this when there was perfectly good bacon to be had. I blame the episode of «Chopped» we watched the night before where some TV sitcom moms were making minute steak. Even though I knew I’d be disappointed.
As I said before, this place was packed and chaotic, and therefore very loud. We could barely hear each other talking. So why in the name of everything did one of the employees named Desiree decide to slam things around so much? Dishes, the dishwasher door, anything that could be slammed around, she did. Thanks for the headache, Desiree. You hear that it’s already noisy in here, must you contribute? Get your life together.
One thing I did enjoy was watching the cook. He had mad skills at breaking eggs with one hand and not getting any shells in the yolk (jealous) and flipping them in their skillets. I’ve never really sat at a counter of a Waffle House, so I’m not sure if this is standard, though I’m willing to bet it is not.
My GI system has been all fucked up since yesterday. I blame you, Waffle House.

All-​star breakfast with coffee. Can’t beat Waffle House for great greasy food. Pretty clean for a Waffle House. I’ve ate here bout 10 times since I’ve been in Smyrna

I use to go there but the ladies there I think they are in space or are racist, I always have the allstar breakfast and the last time I went there they forgot to give me the waffle when I ask for it they charge me for the waffle and worst they charge me every item separated on the allstar breakfast so yall have an idea how much I pay, wasn’t the young ones.

I know this is «just waffle house» but this was the most spectacular Waffle House I have ever ate. Yes, it was late and I was the only person in the restaurant, therefore
the cook only had to worry with mine, but my meal was Spectacular! I cannot believe I am saying Waffle House was spectacular, but for Waffle House food, it was excellent!

This is your basic cheap breakfast joint. The food is good. Quality is consistent. The staff is a hoot! Best to go early on weekends to avoid long waits. I love the Fiesta Omelet with a 3^rd egg.

The kids love this place and I cant deny I do like a waffle every once in awhile. One particular night we went just ruined it for me. Our waiter was young and all his little girl friends were at a table. He mostly talked to them the whole time unless he was taking our order or the cook told him 5 times our order was ready. The food was good but the service was really crappy. We havent been back since, not saying we wont be, But I will be sure not to sit in this young mans section again!
