There's one state, I believe Indiana, where the big chain Waffle House operates under the name Waffle Shoppe. This is because there was already a preexisting mom and pop Waffle House in the area.

Correction: it's "Waffle and Steak," and they stopped doing that in 2005.

Yep. I'm from Indiana (I live here again) and we used to go to the Indiana version of the Waffle House and play Risk all night because we were wild and crazy teenagers. It was like Denny's but scuzzier.

‘Denny’s but scuzzier’ describes Waffle House perfectly

It's gone now and these photos don't do the scuzziness justice, but-

This was the building. It was so shitty, they razed it to the ground when the place closed.

Here's a picture of the inside which doesn't show the lack of cleanliness very well.

Also, like every town weirdo ate there for some reason. Which made it good for people watching.

There was a claw machine at the entrance. I kicked ass at that claw machine. I won like 10 stuffed animals to give to my dog to tear into pieces.

EDIT: Also, the fry cook had a Frankenstien's Monster head. Like he looked like Boris Karloff in the monster make-up except without the bolts. So fucking weird.

Lol I enjoyed this exposé into your local greasy spoon. Here's to scuzzy diners!
