Waffle House — Restaurant in South Carolina

Let me just start by saying that I love Waffle House. This love was earned as I made my way around the country driving in a van full of regrets. I didn't know the depth of this affection until I visited this particular location.

Walking in, I was immediately greeted by a woman named Rachel, whom I can only assume was God's first attempt at an Angel, put back because He wanted to make the rest of them a little less perfect. Her "welcome to Waffle House" felt like two arms, wrapped in warm silk, pulling me in for a hug after a long journey. Not far behind her soul-embracing welcome was the aroma of crispy hash browns, sweet maple syrup, and savory pork meats, sizzling away on a grill I would consider cuddling with if the place was empty and it gave me consent, because I respect things like every man should.

I found my seat, the likes of which cradled my posterior as if it were created specifically for me. My order was taken promptly and with an air of grace I imagine is typically displayed by elegant, yet playful, Elven princesses in fantasy novels. I'm not much of a reader.

Look, it doesn't need to be said that the food at this location tasted better than expected, better than I'd experienced at other locations, because, in here, it was prepared with love. With pride. That makes a difference at 3AM when you're aimlessly meandering the country in a van full of regrets. The difference was so pronounced, in fact, that I got the nerve to tell those regrets to take a hike. This is my life. And if Becky can't accept me AND my desire to live a portion of my adult life as a man-wolf, then she isn't the gal for me.

I've been in Waffle Houses all over this half of this great nation, but it was here, in Anderson, SC, that Waffle House found a place... in me. Thank you to Rachel and the staff for scattering, smothering, and covering...

Our 2nd attempt tonite for Waffle House (on our way home) after doing an out of state delivery. Complete failure!! Everything was going great! We had excellent customer service in a timely manner from "the cook". Our waitress had taken our drink order which was 2 coffees. Said she was brewing fresh pot. Never saw her again. When the cook brought us our food we asked about our coffee. She delayed what she was doing to makebour coffee's. My husband was mixing ketchup into his hash browns when he noticed a hair in them. A different waitress (not our original one) tried to take care of it by taking his food purchase off the bill & offering my husband another meal " on her". While we appreciated the kind gesture, we declined her offer. At no point and time did any of these ladies go put on hair nets or hats for that matter. Anything. ...to try to stop the shedding of hair going into customers food. Its a shame too bc what little bit I had of my food & actually got to eat....was excellent. But unfortunately the suprise hair ruined it for us. Awful Waffle at its...

Visited this establishment this morning because we are OTR drivers. We get in the restaurant it’s super cold, the table is nasty the waitress quickly wiped it off. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet, grits and side of bacon. Well my bacon looked like it was just thrown in my plate from the scraps that was left??? , grits were super cold(not sure why you can’t keep grits hot) and the omelet was ok. Service was blah, I’m assuming because today was her birthday she acted as if she didn’t want to be there. Long story short restaurants are not paying attention or just don’t care about hygiene. Our waitress kept taking out her phone (not once did she go and wash her hands) and the “manager” stood by and watched the whole staff take out their phones on the line where the food is being prepared. The cook had on gloves but he was on his phone with the same gloves on. I’m just hoping I don’t get sick 🤞🏽. Also I requested to have new bacon 🥓 cooked and when she brought it out it was thinner than the previous (not the same) not sure why. And my husband said the sweet tea...
