As a salesman on the road for 25 years, I've eaten in many WHs many times. Some are cleaner than others, but food is always good, service friendly.

Waffles House sustained me while I was in school studying electronics and working full-time. Was such a frequent customer that the waitresses would already have my Coca-Cola in hand when I sat at my usual spot at the counter. A double order of hashbrowns was a cheap meal that filled you up and kept you going on those long 16 hour days

Actually, working in a Waffle House should be a pre-requisite for all FEMA employees as they are much more responsive to people's needs and probably have more experience at crises management. 🙂

I am always amazed at how orders are verbally called to the line cooks. That's a skill and you know what I mean if you've ever been a fast order cook.

Last time I ate at the WH, was with Dad before he died. He loved eating there.

The only place to hang out when I was a teen was the neighboring town Waffle House. I still love it. The one now closer to me has, hands down, the best coffee!!

i love the "AWFUL WAFFLE". Seen lots of entertainment such as tourist meltdowns, crackhead fights, cockroach courtships, and other things. Food kept me going. Service never bad. One incident I witnessed was an overwhelmed manager who worked over night and none of her morning help showed for work; 1 cook and 2 waitstaff. Out of my own kindness, I cleaned the tables up for her and she gave me old bread as payment so I can give it to my chickens and use it as bait. I hope those 3 no shows get coal in stockings and crabs in pants.

Having grown up in California, I had never got to experience them. Went to my first Waffle House on Father's day 2021 in Phenix City, Alabama. Throughly enjoyed it.

You have the perfect voice for this channel, Great videos, great music. Absolute perfection. Thanks,Alan

Every waffle house is a museum. They look the same inside today as they did in 1955

I got my Jedi training at Waffle House #91..I was 18 then 19..back in 91...wow, I'm just realizing the matching numbers... cosmic...I've definitely worked Christmas and Thanksgiving, those days were fun to work..I was of course a waitress and our location was just off of I-95 and let me tell you baby, we rocked the numbers up in there! Dayam we were busy...we even had a hostess..and such a great management team!! We'd have selling contests and prizes..I really learned a lot there.and met all kinds of people....those were some great times...I have so many stories...our old store was torn down and they built a new one in it's place..but if those old wall could've talked...woo wee.. 💛🖤💛🖤🧇💛🖤💛

The Chick-fil-A story is pretty awesome.

When I was a late shift security guard at a mall my partner and I would get off duty at 3am and head straight down I-240 in OKC and hit the Waffle House at 240 and May. Many great meals and conversations at the Waffle House. The staff called us regulars. Those days are 20+ years behind me but I still eat Waffle House when I get the chance. What a neat informative video. Enjoyed it.

Scattered, smothered, covered, diced and chopped. That's how I like my Waffle House hash browns. Though my thoughts tend to be the same way sometimes too. Pecan waffle with eggs and bacon is my favorite in the morning.

I actually prefer Waffle House's chicken sandwich to Chick-fil-a. Good to hear they are still privately held. Let's hope it stays that way.

I used to volunteer and work for the American Red Cross going to many, many National Disasters. A Waffle House breakfast is gold after eating shelter food or eating at a mobile kitchen.

Scattered smothered covered .

Yep, in Georgia there’s so many WH locations, you can actually see another one close by while eating at the one your in. Love the “Wa Ho”. Great memories there :) Thanks for sharing this!👍

Love Waffle House. Down to earth, good service, decent food, interesting customers, & hard working waiters & cooks. Something really special & slice of Americana.

Always good food when on the road. I hit them for breakfast and occasionally for dinner.

While on tour with my band, it was a wonderful place for breakfast. Scattered, smothered and covered with a side of grits 😋

They have some good food. I usually get scrambled eggs, grits, sausage, toast, and a waffle. And coffee and water. My Waffle House anthems: "Special Lady Waiting For Me At The Waffle House", and "Raisins In My Toast".

We used to joke about them as "Awful House" but the few times I've eaten there the food was what you'd expect for the price. I think I'd prefer the Steak & Egg if given the choice but Waffle House isn't that bad, especially if you just want breakfast food. Congrats on the success.

I just stumbled upon your videos and it's so intriguing! Reminds me of the documentaries being played at a museum's movie theater

Some of the best meals late night or early morning have been at a Waffle house

After a club closed, eating breakfast at 3:00 AM was a great way to end a fun night. 😉

Waffle House staff are always friendly and the food is reliable. Nothing fancy, but who hits up a Waffle House expecting four-star dining? It really is good food fast. Nor will I ever forget the staff of a WH in Texas during one of our Route 66 trips--eight AM and they were all singing Motown tunes! They automatically made everyone's morning better.

Waffle House, like McDonalds, is an American Icon that travelers look for while driving long distances. Waffle Houses are a welcomed sight knowing they never close; this is a blessing to the weary traveler and their food is always visible while being prepared so the diner knows what he's getting (no filth from the cooks).

Great post. Brings back fond memories. As a little boy I would look under the counter and see all the gum people stuck down there. It ran the full length of the counter! :^)

Our first meal after my wife and I landed in Charleston, SC in '92 for our tenth anniversary trip, was at a Waffle House across the street from the motel we were staying at.

Love these restaurant and shopping videos. Mostly anything about business in the olden days I absolutely love listening and watching about

My new tradition since moving to NC 5 yrs ago is Christmas breakfast at WH. It’s a wonderful experience!

Yup, love me some Waffle House! Great place to meet and eat. Always one open where I live in Texas. You know there's a local disaster when the Waffle House is closed. Thanks again for the wonderful video, and all you do! 😊👍🇺🇸

I love this place. On our travels to Florida we plan our route to eat there daily. Wish they were up in Michigan

Back in my Army days, when I was stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama, my buddies and I would go to WAFFLE HOUSE after the bars closed at 02:00. Those were good times.🧇

Some of the best food i've ever ate at 2:00 in the morning was at waffle house !!

I'm glad he's finally doing ads to make some $. His videos are so great he deserves it

Having spent 15 years in Florida, I can attest to the part about Waffle House being open during Natural Disasters. After a hurricane, our local store was open and serving a very limited menu but it was a good hot meal.

i ate at my first Waffle House August 16th in Sevierville,Tennessee, loved it!

If you are a waffle house fan ya need to try the one in Biloxi across from Hard Rock Casino. It is unbelievable. Voted number 1 in the US.

First experienced WH while living in Fulton County, GA in the 80s; besides the delicious breakfasts, I always appreciated the out-loud greatings by whoever among the wait-staff noticed me (and other customers) entering; nice touch! What I've never understood is whythere isn't a Waffle House at every exit of the I 5 out here in the Golden State. Thanks for the memories!

I hit the like button BEFORE watching the video! 💘

I love your videos! I'd love to see you do one on the YMCA.

One of the best parts of these nostalgia videos is the old cars.

So nice they even open the doors for you!

I made the mistake of going into one in McKinney Texas once. Sat down at a table and it was sticky. The floor was sticky, and the place was filthy-to the point that dead roaches were under the table. I got up and left, and vowed I'd never go into one again.

I loved that place!

We don't have them in Nevada and I have only eaten in one in Tennessee several years ago. It was just off the freeway, had plenty of parking, great food and super friendly servers. I am going back to Tennessee then to Chicago next week. If I see one near where i am travelling, I will definitely stop. Highly recommended.

I had to jump back on here to thank Skill Share for being the sponsor. As soon as I can get on my feet financially, I'm going to subscribe!

God bless everyone

The first time I ever went to Waffle House was 1997 in Phoenix. Because I'm from New England I had never even heard of Waffle House so I thought it was the only location! But I really like the restaurant and have visited many locations around the country since then once I realized it was a chain. Great video and thanks for the pics. Pretty incredible story about the founders and how long they lived too.

Thank you for these videos that show us how far we have fallen as a nation since the civil rights movement.

Great video👍🏼 I’ve traveled the country for 15 years now being a part in building these. To see the museum is awesome. Takes ya back in time. I can also vouch for the locks on the doors😂they have them but on a very rare occasion got used until the covid came along in which they are now putting in walk up windows so they can still operate for the many who are drawn in by the black and yellow💯😂

When I was a young kid in the early 70s, we'd eat there 2-3 times every month. I always ordered their silver dollar pancakes. Yummy.

Just WOW!!!!!! Thanks for this video, I totally loved it! I actually FELT American again!!!!! :)

✨✨✨✨✨ Amazing & Informative production ! ✨✨✨✨✨ 💗💗💗💗💗 Thank you for providing this video ! 💗💗💗💗💗

Waffle House is the kitchen table of America. They probably have the biggest crossover of customers from all walks of life. My favorite combination is seeing cops and working girls there at the same time, casually talking about their day.

The kindest most lovable people work there.

Being from the greater metro Atlanta area, I’ve eaten at many a Waffle House. It used to be a traditional end of a Buckhead Saturday night to stop at the Waffle House on Roswell Road before heading back to the north suburbs.

Holy! That steak on a plate the young lady is showing off in the old photo at 2:11 looks damn good! Man, I bet those were some tasty steaks. Thanks for sharing!

My sister and I love to eat at Waffle House.. we love to see all the characters it brings in and the food isn't bad either.

The coffee cup those guys were sharing is about twice as big as you can get at the restaurant!

Another great story. Yhanks

Thanks for sharing😊

Drove past the one in Longmont, CO just west of I-25 on the way to work every day for 7 years, but never stopped to try it.

I used to live in Acworth, Georgia, whose main claim to fame was the I-75 exit that had two WH’s - one on either side of the interstate. It was a big deal until a couple of years later, when the Kennesaw exit (about 3 miles south) somehow ended up with FOUR Waffle Houses. My hubby’s ex has worked for WH for many years. She audits individual company-owned stores. (Yes, some stores - probably the worst ones - are only franchises.)

Great vid, really enjoyed.......................... 👍👍👍🙂😉

My roommates and I lived a block away from “waffle town” when I was a junior in college. Every weekend after a night of drinking, we would end up there after midnight for grub. I had never seen my one roommate happier than when the waitress would set his plate full of food in front of him. Good times!

I love Waffle House!!! I went there as a child and took my children! The juke box was always the highlight!

Every year, my family and I would drive from Chicago to Florida for our vacation, and every we always stopped at a Waffle House. It's how we knew we we in the south.

I have always loved Waffle House! I worked at one in 1988 when I was 19. October 2020-February 2021 I traveled mainly the southern states and up the east coast all the way to North Carolina... I ate at many Waffle Houses along the way and only was dissatisfied with 1 location.

You got a sponsor!!! Congrats 🙌

I live in Washington state. I sure wish we had Waffle Houses out here!

Another great video

I love WH. a bit of my childhood when I visit them.

I can’t believe I’ve never been to one. I’m excited to go!

Love that place - wish they'd come to Michigan!!!

I regularly go to a local Waffle House, where I live in Virginia. I have met some friends there. Some work there, some eat breakfast with me. My main meal and time I use the restaurant, is breakfast time, although they have an excellent chicken sandwich.

1973,Long Beach,Miss.Listening to Mississippi Queen,eating Hash browns.

I use to eat at this one Waffle🧇House, and on Wednesday's it was all you could eat fried🍗chicken...😋 I used to order that and get french frys with it, and dip my chicken in honey mustard and my frys in ketchup...💯✔

The first one I ate at was in Tucson AZ. I lived there back in the early 2000's, and loved going there late at night with my late husband. 💜

Very few places have salt cured country ham but WH does. Before I retired, I would stop at WH and get a country ham, egg, cheese and tomato sandwich on toast and a large coffee to go. That would keep me going most of the day.

Love this one

Scattered, smothered, covered, peppered and capped.

Very interesting!

Had a WH a mile from the house. But, it was old and had a very small parking lot so they shut it down. Now the wife and I regularly take the 20 minute drive to the one by the interstate. Never disappointed, it's always good. Went to the old one on a Christmas day. Expressed our sympathies that they had to work. Waitress said she was happy too. The tips that day were the best of the whole year (we tipped very well too).

My first job was at a Waffle House in 1987 in Greensboro, NC. If you watch the whole video you'll see how the uniforms changed over the years. I wore the orange/black/yellow striped tops. I have many fond memories of working there from my teens into my early twenties.

They were even open during Hurricanes.

A sure stop traveling. Favorite one is in Winchester Virginia,off 81south.

I love you Waffle House, I couldn't live without you.

Nice video. But as a Security Officer who has worked major holidays for too many years to remember, I hate silly corporate gestures such as the one noted above. The cooks and staff have to work, so to make it fair; the executives do too. What's the point of that? Doesn't show the cooks and staff any real respect or consideration. Pay them double for working shifts on major holidays, and let the executives go home and enjoy their day off. That way, everyone ends up happy.

Cool, I like their food 😀

YUP!!!!, we have one in hamilton ohio, the food quality is always good, the place is always kept clean, and it does not take long to get waited on, and get your food!!!

The government will likely allow some restaurants to stay open after any disaster because they served a purpose. Some of these restaurants may not be allow serve food depending on the situation. Likely most restaurants allow to stay open serve only coffee, milk and soft drinks. Finally they will be able to serve limited food. Oddly the Waffle House Index is a great salute to this restaurant chain by the FEMA.

Please come close to Chicago! The beat waffles ever!

WH is clutch. I absolutely love em. I swear, if I had the money, I'd open one up here in California. I'd open it up right next to a white castle...

Ate in one today.$11.75 for 2 eggs hashbrowns Bacon and an iced tea in Mt. Dora Florida.Yummy and very friendly folks

7:30 These 2 guys are mixing batter and poring it on the waffle irons of heaven.😁

My favorite eatery! Available mainly un the southern most states.

I remember going there drunk at 230am and ordering the all star Slam for 5.99 and a coffee.
