Waffle House — Restaurant in Franklin

The experience we had at this Waffle House can be described perfectly with one word.. Transcendental.. Honestly I didn’t want to eat here and was avoiding it at all costs, but when I finally gave in I was literally expecting the worst.. We met an older gentleman in the parking lot that turned out to be the chef showing up for his evening shift, and later turned out to be the owner of this location and a solid individual.. He was a hard working, stern but earnest man and we enjoyed our conversation with him immensely.. Once seated, we were caught off guard by the boisterous and blunt personality of the young, scruffy, tattooed waiter who came to take our orders.. He was brash and helpful, and had a disarming charm.. But it wasn’t until we received our food, the typical Waffle House late night breakfast order, that we realized we had entered into an otherworldly sacred place.. An establishment that offers a pure and straightforward human experience.. The food was incredible, the service was excellent, the setting was somehow absolutely perfect.. This is no mere restaurant.. It’s an opportunity to transcend the daily routine and step into something far more real.. A visceral piece of Americana and a cultural vortex that simultaneously exalts and reduces dining to its truest form.. Familiar surroundings, real honest-to-God human beings, great food.. This Waffle House is far more than a restaurant or diner.. It’s more than an American institution.. It is a temple.. A place to observe and participate in the act of receiving nourishment in its most basic and pure form.. If you’re south of Nashville and looking for breakfast in the early hours of the night, if you’re looking for a great meal with good friends, or just looking to transform your understanding of what life has to offer, come on down to the Waffle House in Franklin for an absolutely verifiable psychedelic experience!! You will leave here satisfied and...

This place was not good food at all, the sausage looked like a burnt thin hockey puck, eggs were really dry my waffle was pathetic really this thin tiny taste less waffle that was thinnier than a crepe. Ok now to the serious stuff the hostess was lazy and really unmotivated. This place needs to be shut down deep cleaned from selling to flood painted and all syrup bottles need washed my bottle that they put on my table had old dried up syrup runs and new ones on top of the dried layers and i couldn't pick it up with out getting sticky . The bathroom was so dirty and no soap absolute filth how were they washing there hands dirtiest bathroom I've been in. Next after the place is scrubbed clean keep it that way teach staff how to clean a table and chair and mop and sweep and clean the bathroom. Next focus on the food your a waffle house your name of business shows waffle therefore let your waffles stand out from others and teach your staff how to cook and if the staff doesn't want to work at high standards then send them on there way there is plenty of people who need and want a job let the employees know this is our standard and it's this way or you move on hold them to it if you don't than they will walk all over you. Another thing the girl who seated us was in slippers and sweat pant and her hair was looking like she just rolled out of bed and keep in mind it's 10am . Ok there should be uniforms and dress code and they should be clean and well gromed for work. Set standards people who have good management hsve good employees your employees are only as good as the management. This place could make it's Mark on the map they just need to try a little harder . So for me the place was a waste of time and money I won't go back even if someone paid me. The office of health department needs to step in on these places and force them to follow a clean food...

We had a lovely dinner. The omelets here are bonkers perfect. Cheesy egg fluff delight. Hot sauce. Ask for hot sauce. Yummy. Bring money for the jukebox- read the room- you can set the mood for your own dining experience, but others' as well. The jukeboxes have a decent selection- .50 to .75 per play. No complaints. There is mellow blues / oldies / vintage everything. Not just current stuff. Heres a good reason to try to tip good- about every 4rth time I go to waffle house I seem to hear a patron being really rude to an employee for no reason. Start to finish. Why? They are the best!!! They still smile when they ask me if I need anything else. I would go early in the day if you want to relax and have a nice breakfast. Go after 9 if you're going for entertainment: people watching only. Don't partake in the shenanigans. It's not cute & there are cameras everywhere. Also WH employees are a different breed of human. Respect them please. I wouldn't play. You be nice to them and they will be nice to you. If somebody is being a donkey'sRear- I would just go to a different waffle house. Most are are awesome. 🤌

And please don't be a dork about the music. 🥺
