They are ubiquitous in the South. The distinctive yellow and black signs lure us off the highway and into the comfort of another era. Waffle House is a down-home diner, long and very narrow in shape. Booths are a tight fit, so we always sit at the low counter at the end of the cooking area. The clientele are mostly locals who are known by the waitresses. The tourist stands out in the crowd. But don’t let that deter you from eating there. The friendly waitresses treat you like family.
Why go there? First, they are conveniently located near major intersections. Second, they are economical and quick. Third, they serve the best coffee of any chain restaurant we have ever been in. Fourth… scattered and smothered. Forget ordering the waffles, the main food item to order here are the hash browns. They have worked up an entire menu of ways to fix them with additions of onions, peppers, cheese, etc. I absolutely crave the scattered and smothered with onions choice. No trip to the South is complete without at least one Waffle House stop.

There are no Waffle Houses in the Midwest, so it's always fun to go south to eat at a Waffle House. We had hearty, tasty, and inexpensive dinners. With breakfast served all day long, everyone in the family can find something they like. Unfortunately, there wasn't a non-smoking section so we took our chances that no one around us would light up while we were eating. We were lucky because no one did!
