First one I went to (I’m from Chicago)
Looking over the menu I asked the waitress,
“What’s the difference between co try ham and city ham ?”
She looked at me and flatly said,
“One’s from the country, the others from the city.”
I liked that
That reminds me of meeting a salesman for lunch at a place in Siler City, NC once. The restaurant had a special on marinated steak. The salesman, who was born and raised in Canada, asked what the steaks were marinated in. The waitress replied in a very strong drawl “well, all kinds of spices I reckon.” The look on his face was priceless.
City ham is sugar cured and country ham is salt cured, by the way.
I think you really take your chances going to a Waffle House as far as the service & cleanliness. And the clientele often looks a bit shady.
Needless to say, I haven’t been to one in a decade or more.
Waffle House it our go to, when nobody knows what they want. Everyone is always happy.
You have to get down to Dumfries, VA before you can find a Waffle House in the DC area...
17137 DUMFRIES RDSorry to see a lot of posts hating Waffle House. Whenever I travel I look for one. I worked on a couple of projects at Ft. Gordon a little while back and stayed at a motel that had a Waffle House right next door. Had a great breakfast there every morning (5:30am) and got to work on time!
DUMFRIES, VA 22025
In a nutshell, what makes AMERICA great can be found at the Waffle House.
No commies or illegals there either.
That's the strangest thing! I go to Starbucks every day, and I keep looking for these legendary snooty baristas. I've yet to come across one. Weird!
the closest one to me is in Fredrick, MD. I generally stop there for breakfast when heading back to Indiana. I get up, have a piece of toast and then on the road. it is a nice stop after 80 minutes of driving and getting through the first cups of coffee in the car.
I haven’t been down Dumfree’s direction in years, but thanks for the info
I’ll have my usual, please. With grits!
Never said we still didn’t go there on occasion.
I haven’t been in that one but the one in St. Joe is good. It was clean and the waitress was very good. I was in there a year ago.
I’ve been to Waffle House exactly once in my life. I won’t be going back. The place was dirty, there were no paper towels in the rest room, the food was low grade and tasted awful, and the tea tasted like a thrice-used bag had been used to make it.
“You were in TEXAS and wanted chicken fried steak at Waffle House?!!”
I’m intrigued by your comment.
I think I figured out what you mean. You mean there are a million places better for chicken fried steak.
Right?
I understand this point.
I wanted to go to a Waffle House because I’d never been and it was convenient.
I love Waffle House. Fast, reasonably priced, simple and made to order. Anytime we travel we look for them for breakfast. Only had bad experiences on a regular basis in KC area that’s why I figure the area manager must be a dirt bag.
Who goes to a Waffle House to go to the bathroom? Use a service station.
(Just a joke folks).
Austin is where I found the joys of chicken fried steak about 50 yds. from my house.
The pecan waffle is just as good now as it was 30 years ago. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm!
