I like Waffle House’s food. I ate there twice last year, both times while visiting my cousins in Georgia. The one in Duluth, where I ate, was OK even though we had a lovely view of the cemetery across the street. I tried grits there for the first time, and liked them so much I had my cousin stop at a Wal-Mart on the way to the airport so I could buy a box, unaware I could also obtain instant grits in California. I wish they would open a Waffle House in L.A. ---

I love Waffle House but can’t understand why they are seemingly either unaware that french fries exist, or how to make them. Hash Browns are ok with breakfast, but not with a burger. ---

Waffle House is also the worst place to spend New Years Eve. 8th grade, with family, on a road trip. Two surly employees and maple-stickiness out the wazoo. Joy. ---

Great food at a nice price! Hashbrowns are much better than most fries, & you can’t get a better price on a sirloin anywhere else. Great coffee, too. ---

[off topic, I think] I’m at the library right now. There’s an older gentleman sitting a few chairs down from me reading a bodice ripper and, every few minutes or so, quietly farting. [/off topic, I think] I wish we had a Waffle House here. IHOP is as close as it gets, and I don’t them. ---

Hey, so **cb** is in a Waffle House on Wednesday night gettin’ all Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, Topped, Diced & Peppered. 😃 Oh, and, not that I particularly _know_ this personally, a friend told me, yeah, a friend told me, that’s a good [del]cover up[/del] reason to know this, but he’s definitely pron-ing lookin’ at [bearforest.com](http://bearforest.com). Not that I’d _know_ what that particular website is… And what’s this about the breakup with the boyfriend, grasshopper? ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] I love Waffle House but can’t understand why they are seemingly either unaware that french fries exist, or how to make them.

Ugh, making my night hard. I could have just gone to bed. Also, we broke up about a week ago. When I say “we,” I really mean that I broke up with him. We made the mistake of moving in together after the first date, and so I basically spent the last two years trying to make it work. There were a lot of times I was happy with it, but there were also a lot of times where I just wasn’t happy and there was nothing either of us could do about it. We had hit problems in our sex life, and I realized that we’d never make it long-term, which is exactly what the bf had wanted to begin with. And I wasn’t necessarily looking at pr0n. Well, I was. But I wasn’t necessarily. ---

Waffle House sucks. The wait staff (at night) sucks, the customers suck, it smells like satan’s mighty unwashed ballsack and doesn’t taste much better, and their coffee sucks, too. But I’ll be damned if I don’t find myself saying “I know, let’s go to Waffle House” at least once a month. ---
