Four mountain bikers from Canada visited in Oct 2016. None of us had ever been to a Waffle House. Expectations were sky high!!!
THE GOOD #1 First of all the Waffles were brilliant. Not really sure if they are the best waffles I ever had but they were tasty.
#2 Our waitress was awesome and we got hats. I love my hat. I wear it every time I make waffles. I will be buried in my Waffle House hat.
#3 Food was generally decent and what you expect from a diner chain. The waitress tried to warn me about ordering the hash browns ‘All The Way’, but I would have none of it. Hash browns all the way is hash browns topped with onions, cheese, ham, tomatoes, jalapenos, mushrooms, chilli, sausage gravy, hamburger, mac and cheese, scramble eggs, coffee etc. You get the idea. It tasted exactly as you’d expect. Delicious.
THE NOT SO GOOD This visit to the Waffle House was the second most disappointing restaurant visit as an adult. I have always wanted to try Chicken and Waffles and for some reason I assumed my first C&W would be at a Waffle House. So, I was morbidly shocked to learn that WH does not do Chicken and Waffles. I mean they do have C&W, but the chicken is not deep fried. Childhood dreams crushed!!
But not as crushed as that time bumped into Harrison Ford in the salsa bar lineup at that taqueria in Sacramento. Yes, that Harrison Ford. I was spicing up my garlic shrimp and Harrison was garnishing his burrito. The two of us sat next to each other and then the unthinkable happened! Harrison Ford ate his burrito with a fork. A fork! My childhood hero does not eat a burrito with a fork!!! Han Solo does not eat a burrito with a Fork! Indiana Jones does not eat his burrito with a FORK! Jack Ryan does not eat his burrito with a Fork!. Okay maybe Jack Ryan would, Ryan is a bit pretentious. But a FORK c’mon!!. (For the record is was not a wet burrito either)
Anyways the garlic shrimp was super garlicy and the next day I went camping and blew up my air mattress with the worst garlic breath in history. A decade later and my air mattress still smells like garlic. Camping has never...
Read moreI worked at the Waffle House in ringgold Georgia for awhile. So I know how it goes and how it is, this has to be the worst cook I’ve seen in Waffle House. Got the all star breakfast with the sirloin. He apparently smothered the steak in oil and that’s all you could taste and literally see the oil shimmering on the steak. No salt no pepper no flavor. The server I asked for milk and orange juice to come out with my meal. I also asked for wheat toast. She immediately gave me my orange juice which I had to get another servers attention -because all the workers besides the cook wanted to sit down and talk together - to put it back in the fridge. I got my food with white toast so I had to ask again for wheat toast in which the cook made and then sat on the counter for a good 5 mins as I was at the bar and seen it setting there. Then he finally told her again and she laughed and said oh I forgot. Then I had to remind her about my milk. We travel for work with our company to all different states in the SOUTHEASTERN region and even having worked at Waffle House myself for awhile, this is the worst Waffle House I’ve been...
Read moreThe food was extremely greesy they have a old man there seating purple he argued with me about where i wanted to sit he also wasn't paying attention and ran into me while i was holding my baby and just stated at me and walked off. He patrolled each table which made me uncomfortable and don't expect a refill. Update: 2 years later, just went back. The server took my hash brown order wrong 2 times, I finally asked for the new ones just to be put in a togo container. She took 3 dollars off my bill for all the mess.... She charged me though for an order of togo hash browns!! They were included in my meal and she messed up the order 2 times and the third time they were right but she charged me for then. I asked why she did that and she was trying to give me her tip to make up for it but of course I didn't take it. I will never ever go back here and I'd advise nobody go here and let them close.. oh and the don't expect a refill was still a thing. The store manager needs to be...
