Thank you, Waffle House.
Whether you’re bright-eyed and bushy tailed at 7 am craving a quick and tasteful breakfast, slurring your words and probably your steps around 3am after a night out at the bar, or perhaps the next morning when you’re feeling a little more than hungover and need some “back to life” food energy; Waffle House is the way to go. It really is like the light at the end of the tunnel, waiting for you to walk on in.
Here's why!
You can spot it from anywhere.
That sign! And it actually doesn't take a drunken individual to spot that big yellow sign with those big bold letters that spell "Waffle House." Even from a mile away, something about it just says “come inside, sit down and enjoy a nice buttery waffle.”
There are T-shirts.
When have you ever seen a shirt that said “friends don’t let friends eat at Burger King alone.” Probably never. Because nobody cares to buy a shirt about Burger King. But people LOVE waffle house. There’s actually all kinds of items available. Hats, tank tops, stickers, sweaters, this awesome hoodie above, you name it! WaHo even has it’s own clothing line.
You might meet a celebrity.
Okay, it hasn’t actually happened to me, but Waffle House is just about as universal and delicious at every location you go. It doesn't change, and there’s one at literally every corner. Many people have met celebrities who happened to just be sitting in the booth behind them. And that’s pretty cool. Hopefully, when you do, they look a little happier than Kanye. But what else is new.
Um, it's 24 hours.
It’s pretty convienent, to say the least, that Waffle House is 24 hours. I mean, HELLO! That’s the biggest advantage ever. You’re a truck driver, or a night shift worker, you have insomnia and you can’t stop thinking about the biscuits in gravy. Either way, it doesn’t matter when you decide to go, it’s always there, waiting with open arms. Even if it is 5 am.
The staff. Can't forget the staff.
Don't they look happy? Granted you may not always get a smiling server, (like the woman on the left) but you can still always count on some fun in waffle house, especially if you get one of the cool waitresses who cuts jokes with you all night long. Those are the ones you want to see again on your next WaHo visit. Shout out to the staff for putting up with hooligans.
The All-Star Special.
Go big or go home am I right? Just look at it! And for only $6.89? I’m going BIG! I mean again, just look at it. I don’t even have to say anything, the food speaks for itself.
It caters.
Yeah, bet you didn't know that. A lot of people don’t realize that Waffle House DELIVERS. But it DOES! You don't even have to leave your house. Or your bed. And that's dangerous.
The Jukebox.
Alright you know you love the jukebox. Can you go to huddle house and play music of your choosing? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, Topped and Diced.
Last but certainly not least. Those waffles.
So thank you again, WaHo, for always being there exactly when and where I need you.
