Waffle House — Restaurant in Clanton

Brothers and sisters, let me testify. On the evening of 8pm sharp, I pulled my weary chariot off the highway and entered into the holiest of greasy spoons: the Waffle House of Clanton, Alabama. And I declare unto you—it was the Waffliest Waffle House I’ve ever Waffled in.

The moment I stepped through those doors, I was greeted by a young lady so sweet and respectful she could’ve been handing out hymnals at the door of a country church. I took my seat at the counter, and before me stood a young man, baptizing dishes in soapy water with the devotion of a monk illuminating scrolls.

The waffle? Golden as the streets of heaven. The coffee? Strong enough to raise the dead. The soda? Carbonated like the Spirit itself.

But then, brethren… came the grits. Oh, the grits. A bowl of plain, ordinary grits, and atop them, laid not a blend, not a melt, not even a sprinkle—but a single slice of American cheese, just flopped there like it had fainted in the Spirit. And I tell you, it was so glorious, so divine in its comedy, I had to stop and take a picture. Yes sir, I documented the miracle.

So if ever your soul is weary and your stomach is empty, make the pilgrimage to Clanton’s Waffle House. Come for the waffle, stay for the cheese slice, and leave with a story worth preaching. Five...

I'll be honest I wasn't expecting a good experience myself and my husband along with my two boys were heading home after a weekend trip we were tired hungry and really not in good moods we pulled up yes on a Sunday they are always busy no matter what waffle house you go to on Sunday anyway a lady met us outside took our name and phone number so we wouldn't have to wait standing inside about 15 min into the wait we got a call to come in we sat the place was clean even though it was very busy they were friendly and everyone of the employees had a smile we sat the waitress greeted us and set the table got our drinks and gave us a min to look at the menu she took our order at this point it was about 10am still smiling she brought our food and it was perfect she joked with us and by the time we left we were all smiling my husband paid the bill and I put a tip on the table no knowing he tipped on the ticket not that I minded she deserved every penny if she sees this you are always welcome to the beach anytime and we will cook for you 😉 definitely if you go through here go have a meal with this...

Heather was our server and wow! You need to invest in more "Heathers." She was phenomenal. We got what we ordered and boy was it delish. She was very attentive and precious. And to add more to her shining halo, she found money under my seat and asked if it was mine....she could have kept it and went about her day and I would have never noticed. Before we figured out if it was hers or not (it was hers) she said we could split it in half. Imagine that. This spoke of her character right away. The whole world could use more kind and generous folks like her. Actually, the entire staff was spot on. There was a rush when we got there but we didn't wait long. I haven't been to Waffle House in a long while and I really don't know why but I will now. Shine bright Heather. You made my day much brighter. Kuddos to you Waffle House for investing in top notch people to run your...
