So while I am on the way back from Roo..............what's the deal with Waffle Houses.....are they really that good and worth grabbing a bite to eat at? I am born and bred in the Northeast, and we don't have these types of places.
Waffle House is more of a southern tradition for road trips. Kind of a road side diner type place. Food is good and fairly inexpensive. Their hash browns are GREAT. (Just think smothered, covered, chunked, diced, etc...)
The best food is probably Cracker Barrel. A little more expensive.
Waffle House is certainly something everyone should experience at least once in their life. Food is pretty good, nice and greasy, they make it all as you order it so you can get pretty much anything you'd like. If you're not a breakfast-food kind of person, I suggest the chicken melt or grilled cheese, both are yummy.
I haven't been to WaHo in about a year (for this reason mainly), but they used to only take cash. That may have changed recently though.... can anyone verify?

yeah id take waffle over CB but more because i think CB is more about tourists and families and WH is more about drunks and wooks hahahahah its a GREAT place to get hash browns and grits when youre "tranced"
This thread is making me hungry just thinking about a Texas Bacon Egg and Cheese with Double Hash Browns covered and crispy!
Waffle House is the southern version of a diner! Breakfast and Dinner 24/7, now with their own dollar menu and biscuits and gravy! And they take credit cards now!
Dude, I seriously can't concentrate on anything but bonnaroo right now. . .It's to the point where I'm poking myself in the eye with foreign objects. . . I think I just need to be sedated until Tuesday. . . . Dystopian Dream
Ah yes, the omnipresent Awful House.... Perfect for those mornings when the night never ended.... even after the morning arrived. Eat big. Wallow in full bellyness. Bring Tums.

I think it's so funny that some of you have never eaten at a waffle house (or the awful waffle as my friends and i affectionately call it). I have one within 5 minutes of my house and 2 more within 15 (i live in virginia, which i guess is the semi-south). Waffle House isn't always known for it's sanitary conditions or stellar crowds, but I'll tell you what, I've yet to taste better, greasier, more flavorful hashbrowns in my entire life. Like others have said, I'd pick it over Cracker Barrel any day.

Oh god, waffle house is disgusting! Cracker Barrel is 5 notches above...waaaay above.... the eggs at waffle house are powdered and the place is full of trash bags... and its VERY dirty! Maybe go once in your life but def not worth the money...

Wow - not sure what Waffle House you have been in but I have been in plenty and never seen powedered eggs - and considering they cook it all right there in front of you - it would be hard to hide -
They are def not a 5 star dining experience but you will not get better hashbrowns anywhere and just wtaching them cook and the banter that goes on between the cooks and the waitresses is entertainment - what more could you want - good hashbrowns, entertainment and decent coffee - all for a cheap price!
Oh and BTW - to whoever asked earlier about the cash only policy - all of the Waffle Houses I have been to lately take Mastercard/Visa now also

yeah and what cracker barrel is gonna be open at 3 AM when you are stumbling to your car and think... maybe i should eat something before attempting to drive home?
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
You gotta get the pecan waffles and hashbrowns (scattered, smothered, and covered. If I had a dime for everytime I made a drunken sexual come-on to a Waffle House waitress, I'd be a rich man. "Hey baby, let me take you away from this dump, for about 30 mins. Waffle House is a proud sponsor of the Kidd Rock tour.
you cant smoke in the ones in tennessee and georgia now which is a damn shame. i mean what is this world coming to when you cant smoke in a waffle house.
I haven't been to Waffle House in a year or so but the last one I was at only took cash. It may have changed but bring cash just in case.
Anyone who needs to use credit to eat at Waffle House probably shouldn't be spending money going to Bonnaroo.
uhhh - there are those of us that have no credit cards but use a debit card for just about everything - I rarely have cash on me - Bonnaroo will be the exception

I only carry cash for cabs so I dont get lost and wandering the city streets in the middle of the night. Though I'm sure if I were by a Waffle House I might break out the emergency cab cash.

sorry to be frank,but thats a damn lie!you can plainly see the basket of eggs on the shelf above the cooks head...htey are left out at room temperature so omlets are easier to make...powdered eggs,sheesh. ..
;D
