Lived in FL for 10 years. It’s true, the only thing scarier than a Waffle House that’s open is one that isn’t.
Scary - Waffle House has reduced menu
Terrifying - Waffle House has reduced hours
Make peace with your god - Waffle House is closed
So they’re open 24/7? Like, it’s that urgent to have eat waffles that they have to be open around the clock, or…?
For me, Waffle House is a beacon in the night during long roadtrips, crazy nights out, or I just couldn’t go back to sleep. I work the night shift from time to time and It’s hot fresh food. Not everyone lives on your schedule.
Yeah, 24/7 and usually located near interstate highways to catch travellers looking for food or coffee at all hours.
TBH, the "Waffle House is dangerous" thing is way overblown. My elderly white suburbanite parents are scared of my diverse urban neighborhood, but they're perfectly happy to take my kids to Waffle House. Granted, it'd happen in the morning rather than the middle of the night, but still...!
