      I never have but the chili on Hash Browns is excellent. I definitely recommend it if you’ve never tried it.

    Although the clientele can sometimes be questionable, Waffle House has really good food for the price.

      Someone should make a PVP game set in a waffle house.

      Will you be a front worker or kitchen staff ?

      What skills do each get.

      For every 5 hours of play, you level up.

      Or will you be the crack head , the karen, the racist, the drunk , or the guy who slaps his gf in public. ?

      Random assignment each game.

      I’d watch.

    Waffle House has raised their overall prices by 96% since 2020. Hash browns increased by 110% and coffee went from $1.80 to $3.15. At one point, they added a $0.50 cent surcharge per egg due to the shortages caused by the avian flu.

    It’s easy and cheap to make breakfast at home with 50% less grease. Waffle House ain’t cheap anymore and that’s all they really had going.

      Yeah it’s pretty sad. Back in high school a bunch of my friends would hang out at the Waffle House sometime between 10pm and 4am several times a week. It was 3.25 for coffee and a waffle. If you forgot your wallet you could usually scrounge for change under your friends car seats and make it happen. That was about 10 years ago, but man it feels like a whole different time, and just yesterday all at the same time. The cost of everything now makes me sick

      I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover or coming down from your actual destination?

      Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?

      Once when I was in Indiana I went to a waffle house because I had never been. I wanna say it was late 2023. I think it seemed fairly cheap as far as eating at a restaurant goes but that may have just been because I am not from Indianapolis.

      I remember thinking the food was alright. I’d definitely paid more for worse.

      I remember years ago Steak N Shake came out with some promo that was something like “10 meals under $10” and Waffle House responded with I think 15 under $5.

      Rookie. Everybody knows that Waffle House employees are chaotic neutral and deal +4 damage if you jump the counter.

      What do they even have to gain from that, hucking chairs at underpaid employees that are just trying to cook breakfasts for people? Who even shows up to a Waffle House, all “I’m gonna make sure to get some felonies before I’m done eating,” and just not even backing down?

          WH doesn’t deserve an employee this dedicated. I hope she went on to better things like security or setting fire to the bourgeoisie… any job that lets her throw down from time to time.

              Interesting. I didn’t hear this part. Do you have more on this backstory? I watched a video from chair girl, but she didn’t mention instigating anything. I mean I definitely wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to admit it lol.

        I’d love to know why this shit kicked off, but I think “Waffle house fight” will have waaay too many results to find the motivations behind THIS SPECIFIC one.

        Also, I love the “Careers? Text WAFFLE to 123456” as if this is a stealth recruitment drive

        Normally I’d agree, but this mouthy camera guy was 100% right the whole time: they should train more, because that was embarrassing to watch; they’re tempting jail; and they should be better than this.

        I almost forgot, they were absolutely wilding.

          Who should train more? The women who sat in a closed off section of the store and got upset when they were not served?

            The people who are unnecessarily starting a fight they can’t win. All of his statements are directed to them.

            I mean, it works out better for the rest of us that they’re bad at fighting, but it would serve their purposes better if they trained.

              No answer is no answer is no answer. You are rooting for the ones in the wrong. The trash who sat in a closed off section and got mad when rules applied to them.

              I’m rooting for the employees who are working a job and having to deal with trash humans who are violent and thuggish. The ones who started the fight were the customers. No one else.

                I think you might have misread something. I called them embarrassing, and agreed they were wilding, tempting jail, and should be better, then said they were poorly starting an unnecessary fight. I’m really not rooting for them, and I’m not sure how it could come off as such, unless it’s because of the word “should.”

                Edit: ohh, maybe you thought I thought the employees lost or started it? They pretty clearly didn’t though.

    A few years back, I had a GF from South Carolina. We have one Waffle House here where I live, but it’s a half-hour drive away so I’d never been. She insisted we go, and now I fucking love Waffle House. It’s like a full step back in time, and one step to the left. I think the employees must need to audition for the job, like a movie or TV show.
