Waffle House — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

There was this sweet young lady working the register talking to her coworker about a baby that was mixed (half white/half black). All of the sudden this older black joker that was cooking decides to pipe up and open his mouth. He yells: “ITS BIRACIAL!”

The young lady responded like any logical human that has a basic grasp of the English language by saying: mix is a short hand abbreviation for mixture; a mixture happens when 2 or more things are combined.

The cook decided he didn’t like that explanation and that he was going to impose his opinion on someone. He says: “better not call nobody mixed around my kids.”

Who does this guy think he is? Does he think he can tell people what to say or what kind of language to use in private conversation? He needs to mind his own business and not be such a sensitive little girl about the word mixed. He’s gonna get shot if he says that to the wrong person.

I returned a few days later with intentions of bringing this up to him and explaining to him that he doesn’t get to control other people’s mouths no matter what color he is, but he was not there. So I leave it up to corporate to read this, bring it up and hopefully address it appropriately.

Lady tonight says his names David or something like that (only black cook employed by this Waffle House).

I have black best friends and Mexican family by law, I do not discriminate against one color or the next but I do discriminate against people that infringe on others peace. He needs to be fired or issue a written apology to the young lady at...

I usually like Waffle House...but if you're gonna charge $2 more than the menu says...THEN LET ME KNOW! My friend ask if the steak and eggs was TBone...the girl said yes...so we both ordered the steak and eggs. What the menu or the waitress failed to disclose was the $9.30 price was sirloin and the tbone was $11.30. Nowhere on did it say anything about it. The waitress showed me the price on HER sheet. That's fine and dandy...but a price hidden from the customer doesn't do the customer even a little bit of good. If there's an "up charge"...Just disclose the darn thing. There's no way in hell a breakfast in Waffle House is worth that for a steak that was a quarter inch thick maximum. I can get a 16oz. prime rib from Texas Roadhouse with a baked potato for $17.00.....now it gets worse and worse...last night my wife and I went BACK to this same Waffle House, because I had told her I went there for lunch. She wanted to go because she likes the waffles...so we went. The waitress could not for the life of her get the order right...and it was a simple order. When my entree arrived...there was a TABLESPOON of gravy on 2 biscuits...to be generous...so I ask for more gravy, she takes my plate...and OVER RUNS it with gravy, then charged me another $4.00. You know didn't stand. I'm glad the Waffle Houses in our area don't act like this. My friend had never been to one before...and he is not anxious to go back, if this had been my first time...I would be in the same boat....WE LOVE WAFFLE HOUSE...but...

My favorite 'Waffle Home' in the entire country. Everyone on staff is a delight, and quite a few of them have been working at this location for a decade or more. In an industry like this one, that kind of continuity is a rarity, and speaks volumes about the management/franchisee's operations. They've had some difficulty with staffing since the pandemic, so they sometimes are to-go only (usually late night or early morning); my only complaint is it's hard to get someone on the phone early to figure out whether or not they are offering dine-in or not, but that's a first-world problem and definitely not a knock on the staff. They have enough to deal with on third shift/first shift as it is, and there are technology solutions that could make communication of things like that completely automated.

I have seen a lot of upper management coming / going from here in the last few months, so I worry that the staffing issues might be due to a change in upper management (they seem pretty young) and the natural tendency of new management to want to leave their own mark. If that's the case here (I'm just assuming) and they're reading this, I encourage them to resist that urge; it ain't broke, so it doesn't...
