    Technically, Vandalia, Ohio. But I really like the “anywhere-ness” feel of this image!

    Having never seen or heard of Waffle House, I found myself scrutinizing this photo for evidence that it was AI generated.

    The internet has broken me.

        They’re open pretty much all the time and don’t close at night, so naturally drunks and other rowdy folk congregate there. Prime time for fights to break out over silly minor things, which often turn physical. There’s a reason most restaurants shut their dining rooms down by midnight.

          Do they also have like kebab/swarma places that are open 24/7? Where I live drunk people always seem to want to eat something like that.

          Can’t imagine getting drunk and thinks let’s get a waffle.

            In New Jersey we have 24/7 diners. You can get breakfast or a burger, or whatever you want basically. Don’t knock a 2 AM drunken pancake until you’ve tried it!

            Oh they do all breakfast foods. Get bacon and eggs or some other fried something if you want.

            Also, I’m the kinda person that gets drunk and eats waffles

            No one starts shit around a kebab guy tho. They have seen it all and if you start a fight they will finish it for you.

            You don’t go to waffle House for waffles. The bloodhound gang didn’t sing about waffles.

            “Want you smothered, want you covered like waffle House hash browns

            Dunno about you but I’ve never not crashed hash browns while hammered

      The food is diner food. Not bad for what you pay for it. Tastes amazing when drunk or high. It’s a staple in the Midwest and the South!

      I would choose Waffle House over Denny’s, but would rather go to a regular non-chain diner over either of those.

      I hope that makes sense because it was the best way I could think of to rank it

      Waffle House is a cheap American food chain that can be found in all southeastern areas, including low-income high-crime districts. Because of this, there are regularly news stories about people fighting at or in a waffle house. It’s become a meme.

    Indiana used to have a different company that was called Waffle House that preceded that kind of Waffle House, so that kind was called Waffle Steak in Indiana until the other business folded. The other Waffle House was closer to a Denny’s but kind of scuzzier. There was one in the town I grew up in and we would go there late at night in high school and play Risk because we were party animals.
