i totally did not want to hate waffle house. i eat garbage all the time. i fight the dog for food. i did not see it coming..

after a few decades of wanting to try it i finally go to waffle house. first of all, no pancakes?! they are fucking strict on that waffle thing. and then what i did order was just barely edible food. just awful.

i grew up haunting dennys, which is now quite expensive for no reason.

In your defense, my wife calls them Awful House, because every single time she's gone there, there's been something in her food (hair, bugs, bandaid).

Your wife... she is quite the tolerant lady

It really depends on the establishment. I went to one in the Atlanta area that was just disgusting, but then you hit one in a small town in the Florida panhandle and suddenly you get the best harsh browns you have had in your entire life with some eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. Thankfully the Atlanta suburb experience was my only bad experience. Most of the time it was very good with the occasional amazing.

IMHO, small town Waffle House tend to be a safe bet.

BANDAID??? I can see how a stray hair, or an airborn bug might land on your food.

But a BANDAID??? How does that even happen??? Was it used?

I just asked, and she presumes yes. I'm assuming someone was touching the food without gloves, and it came off.

The bandaid was holding the... BUGS... on..?

Okay listen. I get where you're coming from. I can understand having shitty food. But no pancakes? They are called the waffle house for a reason :P
