Anybody have hometown diners that they prefer to Waffle House? Pete's Coffee Shop in Knoxville rocks WF's socks off. The XXX in W. Lafayette, IN is pretty bad-ass also.
Best local greasy spoon: The Cloverleaf in Bloomington. I get the Working Man's Breakfast (biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, toast, hashbrowns) and I feel fat and happy the rest of the day.
And a huge BOO that you were in West Lafayette. We are taking a tailgate train up there this fall, drinking the whole way...
My most memorable Waffle House experience was during a road trip from Indiana to Daytona Beach for the millenial new year. We stopped at a Waffle House outside of Atlanta in a truly scary area. I tried to order an omelette but was told by the waitress the cheese was locked up and there wasn't a manager there to unlock the cheese vault. So I ordered pancakes. Freaking hilarious.
I don't think I have ever known anyone to go in to a Waffle House, sit down and order just a waffle
If you ever meet me, you can say you have. I've ordered a double waffle sometimes. Second waffle for 99 cents... are you KIDDING me!?!
I almost did it a couple days ago, cause I wasn't hungry enough to get the all star special. My friends girl ordered an all star and gave me her waffle, so I ordered an egg and bacon sandwich.
Waffle house made me love hash browns. IHOP made me want to murder my stomach.

My first trip to Bonnaroo was my first trip to Waffle House (we don't have them out west). I've probably been a dozen or so times and only 1 of those was not during Bonnaroo. I have no such associations with IHOP.

i grew up on ihop and like many rooers my first visit to waffle house was on my trip to roo. i loved it and have strange cravings whenever i hit the corn too hard now even though theres no waffle houses in MA as far as i know... definitely going once i get out of roo this year
As someone who has been raised outside the city the first one was made, I have known nothing but Waffle House in my life. I love it so much. I have been inebriated on many things and gone into there and each time has been a magical time.
Funny thing though, they built a new Waffle House about 3-4 years ago on GA 92 and was shocked to see a brand spanking new Waffle House. No joke, I seriously thought all of the Waffle House were all done being built around the 80s. I mean, who's ever seen a newly built Waffle House before?

I lived in South Carolina for a while, where Waffle Houses are abundant. I found it funny that every WH ever built (jumping to a wild conclusion here) is visible from the interstate. Now I live back in El Norte where WH doesn't exist. very sad.

Waffle House just has the tradition and the longest damn grill you have ever seen! Sorry IHOP. Plus, Waffle House basically has no ads on TV at all (at least none i have seen) and I am so tired of the "Come Hungry, leave Happy" slogan of IHOP every other minute.
Personally, I would have put D's Diner (and their Breakfast Burrito and Buttermilk Pancakes) first if that had been a choice...but then, everyone wants to go to D's diner right?

Since pancakes are inherently tastier than waffles, I'm gonna have to go with IHOP. Don't get me wrong, Waffle House is quite good, but IHOP really is the bees' knees.

This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.
Recently, while visiting Tucson, I ate at the Hotel Congress for breakfast. I had the huevos rancheros and they were absolutely delicious. Later that afternoon, on my flight home, we hit some major turbulence for extended periods of time. Those huevos made an unpleasant reappearance somewhere over Nevada. Very, very, very embarrassing.
