This is a different Waffle House right than the one where the white woman deflects the chair at her?? I need video.

A fight? In Waffle House?!?! That's NOT the Waffle House I know!!!

Seriously though, I've seen lots of fights in my day, only one in a restaurant(not bar), and it was in a Waffle House.

Guaranteed they were wasted. Most people don't go to Waffle House sober

A 'dust up'?

I've never heard that before

Waffle House is wild AF! I think it’s time for the to close the dining room after midnight. If not then all workers need paid MMA classes

if we were playing madlibs and the line was: "there was a [fist fight] on [xmas] at the ______"

my brain would automatically fill in [waffle house]

Only because Waffle House is the best metric we have for the state of the nation and climate in general. Violence has spilled into Waffle House thanks to our culture, not the other way around.

There are no “dust ups” at Awful House. It’s a brawl or get the fuck out. No in between.

There needs to be a ranking system:

A Category 1 Waffle House is verbal arguments

Up to…

A Category 5 Waffle House is mass murder by chair throwing

Ever heard of the Waffle House Storm Index? Officially assigned name given to them by FEMA during times of national disasters - primarily hurricanes in the south. The Waffle House storm center does their own tracking to try and ensure employee safety but also attempt to be open as a place of refuge and provide meals to first responders when other businesses have shut down. FEMA monitors the WH ability to stay open in the storm ravaged areas to determine how bad the area was hit. If WH open - not too bad (code green) If WH closed - real bad (code red). Code yellow is some damage - limited menu… I’ve also read that WH names some dishes after said storms. I feel like they’ve taken on a humanitarian task in FL and now I try and eat at them to give back. (I target the mid-morning crowd - they’re slightly better behaved and less dust up chances).

Every time I went to WF, ever, ever. There was some kind of war going on in the kitchen or in the parking lot. But my waitress was kind as could possibly be, even slipping me a few free waffles and hashbrowns when I was really down on my luck.

God bless you Waffle House.

I’d call my parents in FL after I moved to check on the Waffle House. There was one about a mile away from their house. If it was still open and on full menu, they’re totally fine. Open and on storm menu, worry a little. Closed? I’m an orphan.

fair enough, they don't serve booze (yet)

but i also really only ever went hammered with my hammered friends and i had the distinct impression everybody was drunk or on something

You walked into a Waffle House and walked out with a mark on your criminal record. Bet your relatives are beaming with pride.

I can’t imagine Waffle House on Christmas Day is a very happy place for anyone, customers or employees. It is a tinderbox waiting for a spark.

Homeland Security should hire WH employees. No one ‘de-escalates’ like those brave folks. Do not mess with the WH. Take the bs over to the gas station.

I saw a possum sized rat just chillin’ outside a Waffle House. Just chilling. No fear. Waffle House is the “Star Wars Cantina” of 24 hr restaurants. You’re gonna see weird shit and someone might lose a limb.

Except when I was younger, And didn't drink, we just went to drink endless coffee until close to daylight, I always got either an All-star breakfast or Texas cheese steak. Got hash browns different every time. Haven't been to an awful waffle in over a yr now, and now I'm sad.

We went to three Waffle Houses on Christmas Day this year before we found one where we didn't have to wait for a table. It's a tradition.

It's cheap, familiar, ubiquitous, always open, and will serve you when you are too shitfaced to do anything other than grunt at the waitress. The pitfall, of course, is that Nighttime Waffle House is a free PVP zone.

When sober and looking for breakfast at a more reasonable hour, there are better options.

Edit: Requisite Anthony Bourdain video that waxes poetic about the Waffle House. Note, of course, that they are absolutely hammered at 3AM.

“Fat makes you fat” is a disinformation campaign run by the sugar council for decades now. It is sugar; it has always been sugar. “Low fat” food doesn’t do shit for your weight control. Cut carbs (sugars).

The sugar people literally went to the same ad agencies that tobacco companies used, and paid them to put a hit on Fat to take the blame for sugar.

I went to waffle house a couple weeks ago and they had a cop just inside the door. The employees were cleaning up and they seemed stressed AF. The cop just looked at me and said, hey they closed right now.

Idk what happened but it takes a lot to close a waffle house.

To me it would be Denny's. Because I don't like Popeye's and find it spicier than I'd like. Though my guess would be IHOP to you. International House of Pancakes is the superior breakfast food chain restaurant in my opinion.

edit: Misread WH and WTH.

Popeyes is widely regarded as the best fast chicken. So you are sadly mistaken.

I like to think that the waitresses are fluent in drunkgrunt.

"What'll you have?"

"Ugh."

"Coming right up."
