If your cook is outside smoking when you get there and your server has an ankle monitor in place of teeth, expect some of the greatest food of all time.
As a district relief manager at WH I had to go bail the cool out of jail once so he could come in and cook the 3rd shift. 😂😂 Because I sure as hell wasn’t going to do it!
As a northern transplant, lemme tell you: I've never felt more supported than when I was regularly the only customer in a Waffle House at 4am after the night shift. Those girls made me a fresh pot of decaf and talked with me until I was ready to roll myself out the door. It probably helped that I tipped like a queen. 🤣 But yeah, Waffle House might be a hot mess but it's a more supportive institution than a Lane Bryant bra. 💖
@@StoicAtol21445 I’m from Ohio too ORIGINALLY. But then I moved to Wilmington North Carolina, but I can tell ya, the Waffle Houses here are bad. In terms of service and tidiness. I got food poisoning at a Waffle House 11 years ago.
Don’t make fun of Waffle House, it’s an institution! And it’s saved COUNTLESS lives of people going there after the bars close instead of driving home drunk ! 😉👍
Did yall know that the WH corporation pairs up with FEMA for medical and housing relief for natural disasters? It's pretty cool :) Moral of the story, if Waffle House is closed, the world is ending ;)
True Story, I’ve had 3 nieces happily work at WF. Waffle House is THE place which feeds first responders in natural disasters. FEMA even has a code with them, so if you EVER see a Waffle House closed(especially if it’s chained) then get the heck out of dodge! They’ve been open through some hurricanes, but for the really bad ones, they chained and left, but are the first to come back. So please don’t knock them that bad, especially down here in the deep gulf south, WH is critical to recovering from hurricanes, in more ways than one.
I remember the Flood of '93. Waffle House was the only place open for food. They are rock stars! The water came up in their parking lot, still open; electricity went out, they got a generator, still open, water went out, they got jugs of water, still open. If Waffle House closes run for the hills!
Most of the snow forecasts were BS where I lived in Maryland. But if I came out of the Tastee Diner and salt trucks were idling at the curb, the threat was real.
My Papaw and I used to go to Waffle House together. He liked the coffee and the mugs especially, since they were thick and held the heat really well. We lost him in January, and I went to Waffle House in the dead of night to have a cup of coffee and a slice of chocolate pie for Papaw. And yeah, I cried. And the waitress behind the counter, couldn't have been older than 17, asked me if I was okay and let me talk about my Papaw for a few minutes. Bless her.
Aww this made me tear up. I'm so sorry for your loss. Bless those folks over at Waffle House. They're really down to earth nice people. My grandpa always went by Papaw in our house as well. He's been gone for several years now. I miss him..
As a cook at Waffle House, if you had too many alterations to your order, we always said, _"Nobody can cook for you better than you can for yourself..... at home!"_ 😅😂 Ps, no Waffle House commercials because they are an institution and everybody knows them, so no need to waste money on commercials LOL Bravo for this video🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏
Do they ever close? I've gone to a W.H. with an active crime scene investigation going on in the back parking lot and it was business as usual up front.

Kinda not true. I've kicked people out of my WH twice, once was when some drunk dude started threatening violence to my cook (you do NOT threaten the guy who signs my checks) and the second one was some coked up meth-head who got her food (in to-go boxes) and then was told to leave, and got violent with both me and the same cook. I did hear my favorite line I've ever heard a cop say that night though, Tasha (the meth-head) was like, "Well if I'm banned from here, I'm banned from Burger King (prattles off like ten other places), then where am I supposed to go??" The Sgt in charge: "That's our way of telling you to get the fuck out of our city." Me, the cook, and the two other cops there just bursted out laughing while the Sgt stared her down. The cops hung out and bs'd with us in the parking lot for a bit, before the Sgt leaned into his radio: "Sorry guys, she's down at the gas station now. Gotta go." Now, I have walked in on some dude using a needle in our bathroom once. He was chill, though, so just, "Sorry about that..." and close the door. I still tell the story, because it's funny, and I don't respect him, but he didn't get kicked out or anything for it.

So we walked out of that one and decided to go to the other, other side of town to another Waffle House. We walked in the door and asked if they had hash browns and finally yes, they had hash browns.

Similar story. At the waffle house in Atlanta which was less than a mile from their distribution center! My husband asked why they didn't just drive down the road and pick up a case!
I went to a Waffle House in Birmingham Alabama. There was an Auburn fan and an Alabama fan about to come to blows. And, the waitress behind the counter was talking about when she got married on the Jerry Springer show. Just an ordinary day at the Waffle House.
I've seen crazy %÷+& at the Orlando FL WH where I work security. Armed. The staff closes at 400am too so they can sort out, clean the grills, kitchen. People act like you kicked their dog 🐶 when they can't get waffles.
My husband and I start every road trip with breakfast at Waffle House, no matter what time of day/night we hit the road. The one time we broke this tradition, we spent the first 3 days of a Myrtle Beach trip stuck in our hotel due to an ice storm, the 4th day in urgent care for respiratory infections and days 5-7 recuperating enough to be able to drive home. Needless to say, we will NEVER skip the WH again! 😂
The only thing that's consistent with the not new Waffle House is that the food is fresh. Waffle House is a lot of things, but damn if they don't make your stuff as fresh as they can.
It's a fact that if your server/cook greets you during their smoke break that it's gonna be great. Even better when they hold the door for you while smoking. I love to play a game every time I go. $1 worth of music and I have to get both a customer and an employee to sing or dance to a song.
One of my friends was stationed at Fort Bragg. While he was there he, and his friends, were deciding which one to go to as there were two across the street from each other. They ended up going to the one that wasn’t having a fist fight inside.
@@dalethelander3781 that’s what he told me. He also said at a Waffle House in Arkansas there were Gang members at the bar, and DEA agents in one of the booths. A time when hunger superseded everything else.
I once saw two cooks sniffing a new bucket of batter to determine if it had gone bad. They debated for a few and then said it was good. I must be a southerner cuz I didn’t get up and leave! 😂
True WH story, I do part time security 🚔 at a Orlando FL location. 🍳 1 young server rather than "clean" or bus tables said %&*÷ it! Put the dirty plates, 🍴🍽 back & then said: make the customers just get take out! The dirty floor, tables stayed that way all night! 🌃
I do security part time, WH in Florida 🏖. I've drank sodas. OJ 🍊, Coffee ☕️. Food; HELL NO 🚫. I'm not snobby 🧐 but 1 server took 2 nights off because her 3 kids had lice. 🤢 yeah.... I'll pass on the waffles.
Love Waffle House! You judge how bad a snow forecast is going to be by Waffle House. If you are at the market buying groceries because snow is predicted and you overhear people talking about The Waffle House is closing down, you know you are going to have a BLIZZARD, because Waffle House usually doesn't close for snowing.
Oh my goodness, that is so true! When I worked there we only closed once during my 3 years and it was just for a few hours, until the tornado warning had passed LOL. We were even open during the snowfall that happened in East Alabama (Auburn/Opelika) January 2018
Now that you mentioned it, I don't think I've seen a Waffle House commercial in decades... Maybe 40 years? They used to have TV commercials. Now it's mostly IHOP commercials. Don't think I've seen a Denny's commercial in awhile either. Heck most of the TV commercials I grew up with don't have commercials anymore. When is the last time you heard the Jolly Green Giant say “HO HO HO Green Giant!”? I'm a nerd I walk through the grocery store humming or singing the old jingles as I walk past items, or buy them. Only other old people join in with me. We're the only ones that remember those commercials. Thank you for the video, greatly appreciated. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
@@Bacopa68 Hi, I know right? The big companies that used to advertise just stopped doing it. Most of them used to advertise during soap operas, and prime time, and they're just gone. But have fun counting lawyer commercials during one show. If you took a bite out of a cookie for every lawyer commercial during one show you'd go into a diabetic coma by the end. 🤣 Shame isn't it. I think they should just play all of their old commercials from the 60's and 70's. Those were good commercials, and they're already paid for. 😁 👵✌️🖖

Girl in the black blouse was me on my first visit. To be fair my last visit too. I went in very unprepared, exhausted from a many hour flight, a panic attack at the airport and barely registering the English I was hearing around me at 3am. I still think I was the most coherant customer in the building though.
I just finished eating at Waffle House. Mine is pretty quiet and clean. Only thing is you have to avoid the rush hour times or you will be waiting for a table. Lost my Mom last November and my kid and I made a new tradition to eat at Waffle House for Thanksgiving and Christmas. No mess, no cleaning and way less drama. I made sure to give them a great tip in thanks for making our holidays a little less hard.
I avoid using the Home Depot restrooms for the same reason given in the video. And, no...I have never seen a Waffle House commercial. 🤔🤔 This channel quickly became a favorite in such a short time after I discovered it.
Waffle House is one of the Southern things I miss the most! A houseguest that had cooked for Waffle House offered to cook a breakfast for us. Best breakfast I’d had in a decade.
I find it odd that so many people say they don't go there or would never eat there and yet they are always packed 24/7! (At least the ones in my town).
you forgot waffle house is the test to just how bad a weather even is based on how open it exactly is. hurrican or flood, it's open, but the less staff that's there, the more dire the emergency. And if its actually closed .... THE APPOCOLYPSE
The local Walmart in my town had a lot gay men working there , for a while anyway . I would go in there around 4am . The guy at the the check out was a flamboyant type , so I gave him a wink and he responded with: " it's late , but it's not that late." I nearly busted a gut laughing . Imagine being brushed by a gay Walmart checker ! 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
I feel y'all aren't given my beloved Waffle House the same adoration as you do Chick-fil-A. So many times, I've been out with my family for a Sunday drive after church, and my little girl says "Lets Go to Chick-fil-A" for dinner. It hurts us all, but I know I can say "How about Waffle House" ?! I know that we can get "scattered, covered, smothered and chunked". We've even ate there on Christmas!!! 😋
@@ffiiichipdeaton8132 word of mouth is the best advertisement you can get! I actually worked for a pharmacy that did no commercials. He sponsored schools and helped order teacher supplies. He had great prices for being outside city limits, too. Locals know where the best places are! Have you ever heard of bad reviews by word if mouth? You can do things right for hundreds of people but 1 person talking about being given bad service and everyone will know how fasts it gets around.
When I was in college, I was part of a group that frequented the Waffle House on Northside at I-75 in Atlanta. The waitress we always had was named "Mama" (literally, that was what was on her nametag) and she always called us her babies. After several months, she left but we didn't know where she went or what happened. Several months later, a couple of us were in another part of Atlanta and decided to go into the Waffle House there. What do you know, but Mama was there and she started yelling to the other staff there "these here are my babies". I was shocked that she not only remembered us, but was also excited to see us. Another time, my brother and his friends went to a Waffle House, caused a ruckus, left a mess, and decided to leave a 400% tip (all they had was coffee) because they felt so bad.
Take the keys, knowing the WH don't ever close had me rolling. Used to love working at the WH and listening to the drama. "AS THE WAFFLE BURNS" was the saying.
Waffle house drama...watched two people get busted for drugs one day. Dinner and a show also got free bacon and laughed at the cook who said it was third shift shit happening at 1 pm.
I do security, 🚔 Orlando Florida WH. 🍳. We had some ass-hat woman sit at the counter for 20min, 1130pm while her infant baby, 2 toddler kids were in a car. I was livid! 🤬
🤣🤣 I worked ar WH for a year and half. And this is absolutely hilarious how some of it is so accurate lol Have a friend that's been working at WH for 20 yrs. Definitely sharing this to my WH friends. 🤣🤣🤣
Liz is such a versatile actress. She can be a well to do genteel Southern lady in one skit & the next,a waitress who is about ready to slap some dang body with the coffee pot if she doesn't get her cigarette break.
Just had Waffle House this morning All-Star Special White Toast with Grape Jelly Hash Brown, Covered, Chunked, and Diced (With Ketchup) Regular Waffle, no butter, regular syrup City Ham Scrambled Eggs Sweet Tea God bless a Southern Breakfast.
Close, but All Star over light, bacon, wheat toast and Grits with EXTRA butter. Sweet Tea and Coffee! Why is it that the new cooks can't cook eggs OL anymore? There will be a waffle house in Heaven!
LMAO!!!! Solo true!!!! Thank you for giving us such wonderful humor! The wrong eatery...always reminds me of Mom, when she tried to order a Big Mac @ Burger Chef then tried to order a Whopper @ McDonalds! Us kids howled with laughter!
I have made a lot of great memories in Waffle House and thanks to the fact that there wasn't a camera on every phone during those times, nobody can share them with you!
As a Texan who moved to Georgia eight years ago, I can say this is spot on. And there really is a secret menu. You won't find the pork chops & eggs plate on the regular menu, but they know exactly what to charge and what it comes with. That's just one example. If you order that while visiting the South, they won't think you're a tourist. Do that if you want to blend in.
I actually watched a training video for the cooks and wait staff. That system is amazing. I went and watched the staff work it in real life and was impressed at how easily they could handle multiple orders. Waffle House is not just cheap good food, its an art.
Then you'd like seeing dining car waiters work. They walk up and down the aisles carrying huge round trays loaded with dishes and glassware, balanced on one hand. I've never seen any of those guys come anywhere close to dropping one.
I once went to WH with my son who was attending "chef school" at the time. As we were waiting for our order, he pointed to the cook and said, "Right there is the Grand Prix of cooking."
I have a painful foot injury and one of the late night waitresses has always volunteered to bring my to go order out to the car after I pay for it. When McDonald's and Krystal are closed because they are "updating their systems", I go to the WH down the street for breakfast take out. A meat lovers pork chop breakfast feeds me breakfast and lunch at work. I miss the flat iron steaks, but the other beef options are acceptable. Huddle House in my area gave up staying open 24/7, but WH just keeps on keeping on.
I remember taking my Yankee husband to WH for the first time. He was ALL IN immediately. Kinda teared up when I told him about the old days all-you-can-eat menus.
Adam is so right about rolling up early in the morning after making questionable decisions the night before. But usually it is just yet another in the long list of questionable decisions that you've made that day.
After watching this, I need a Waffle House fix! I love the breakfast there and the employees are always entertaining. I especially enjoy sitting at the counter and talking to Dave, the cook that seems to work 24 hours a day there. What I can’t take is going in EARLY, half asleep, and someone decides to play some awful songs on the jukebox.
My grandmother was a waitress in Arlington Texas Waffle House in the 80's . To this day I still compare all hashbrowns to my old scattered smothered covered diced chunked and topped. They seriously need to expand to other states. Currently live in MI and have no problem driving 2 hours for these delicacies😁
Once I asked the lady if they had “real butter” and she was so confused. She said, “It’s right there, hun.” “No, like BUTTER, not whipped vegetable oil.” Blank stare. “That’s the stuff we use.” So the answer is No.
Some people don't know the difference between butter and margarine. Had the same issue at a Dutch Bro's asking for real sugar. The kid handed me four different packets, none of which had the word SUGAR on them. I guess she didn't take that high school chemistry class yet.
Butter is whatever is soft and yellow and will melt on hot food while leaving a savory/salty flavor. It's a generic term in the South. Like Band-Aid. Or Coke.
@@jsharp3165 Oh, and calling adhesive bandages "Band-Aid(tm)" or any soda or cola "Coke(tm)" is what's called Genericide, and the people who own those trademarks and have really expensive lawyers to defend those trademarks would kindly like you to cut it out.
@@jackielinde7568 I know what genericide is, Jack. When I'm served a C&D for referring to a Curad as a Band-Aid when asking my wife if we have any in the house, then I'll worry. But not until.
That was scary. I have never seen a Waffle House commercial, either. Unless you count the number of times Waffle House shows up in the Crime section of the news paper. The number of fights there that make the news? We're talking the Florida Man of Breakfast Establishments. It's odd to read a story about a fight that doesn't take place at a Waffle House.
My favorite Waffle Hose memory was the clientele slow dancing in the dining room when my deer hunting crew stopped for breakfast off I-75 in middle Georgia back 50 years ago…good times as we joined them (only other female I’ve ever danced with than my late wife…she approved ❤️)…love your content!
LMAO I just recently stop by at my first waffle house in arkasas6 on I-40 And I was able to catch on all staff drama and everything you guys mentioned Its So TRUE..
Their chocolate chip waffle will always and forever be my go to. Nothing like that hot waffle, chips thrown on top and slightly melted, butter in each hole, and a little bit of syrup. Before and after standard exams, finals, football games… good times

Waffle House had many commercials. Marshall Andy was their spokesman.
Never stopped them from wasting money on those bad training videos though lol. God I hated those
The only thing they got wrong was handing them the keys to let themselves in. She'd have told them "Door's open! I'll be in as soon as I'm done!"

My husband and I start every road trip with breakfast at Waffle House, no matter what time of day/night we hit the road. The one time we broke this tradition, we spent the first 3 days of a Myrtle Beach trip stuck in our hotel due to an ice storm, the 4th day in urgent care for respiratory infections and days 5-7 recuperating enough to be able to drive home. Needless to say, we will NEVER skip the WH again! 😂
lol
We have a similar tradition where we stay the heck away from a Huddle House, because every time we've been to one, we had car problems!
@@WeberIMayRoam ⁰
The problem might've been Myrtle
That must have been what happened to my parents. They skipped breakfast during their vacation to Myrtle Beach in 1965, and I was born prematurely 😆
"I went to the grand opening of the new Waffle House. It was clean. The food was fresh & nobody was drunk... It was horrible..." 😄
This is the line that killed me in this skit
The only thing that's consistent with the not new Waffle House is that the food is fresh. Waffle House is a lot of things, but damn if they don't make your stuff as fresh as they can.
I've worked for Waffle House for 13 years. This is accurate! I keep sayin Waffle House needs a reality show. Love it! Great job y'all
It's a fact that if your server/cook greets you during their smoke break that it's gonna be great. Even better when they hold the door for you while smoking.
I love to play a game every time I go. $1 worth of music and I have to get both a customer and an employee to sing or dance to a song.
I do this at the one I go to....but it's easy. Just play the Raisins in my Toast song.
Holding the door while smoking. I never realized that's a thing but it IS!
I'll be the one dancing.😊
Waffle House is the safest place to be when there's a tornado warning. Tornado takes one look at the WH and says "nope!"
More like, "Well, shit. Someone beat me to it."
If a Waffle House is closed before a hurricane, leave town.
One of my friends was stationed at Fort Bragg. While he was there he, and his friends, were deciding which one to go to as there were two across the street from each other. They ended up going to the one that wasn’t having a fist fight inside.
Across the street...?????
@@dalethelander3781 that’s what he told me. He also said at a Waffle House in Arkansas there were Gang members at the bar, and DEA agents in one of the booths. A time when hunger superseded everything else.
they obviously made the wrong choice.
@@dalethelander3781 been there. They are kitty corner from each other. Intersection of Yadkin Rd and Skibo Rd.
@@andrewrice1806 They must do land-office business, then, both of them.
I once saw two cooks sniffing a new bucket of batter to determine if it had gone bad. They debated for a few and then said it was good. I must be a southerner cuz I didn’t get up and leave! 😂
It doesn't go bad, it just becomes sourdough.🧇🧇🧇
Liz, you rocked it as a WH waitress!
Is that a complement?! Hmmmm?
@@jdeang3531 It is a compliment for sure!
True WH story, I do part time security 🚔 at a Orlando FL location. 🍳 1 young server rather than "clean" or bus tables said %&*÷ it! Put the dirty plates, 🍴🍽 back & then said: make the customers just get take out! The dirty floor, tables stayed that way all night! 🌃
Yea I have literally been handed the keys from the smokin' waitress, too! I laughed so hard at Liz kissing the silverware. That explains so much
I do security part time, WH in Florida 🏖. I've drank sodas. OJ 🍊, Coffee ☕️. Food; HELL NO 🚫. I'm not snobby 🧐 but 1 server took 2 nights off because her 3 kids had lice. 🤢 yeah.... I'll pass on the waffles.
Love Waffle House! You judge how bad a snow forecast is going to be by Waffle House. If you are at the market buying groceries because snow is predicted and you overhear people talking about The Waffle House is closing down, you know you are going to have a BLIZZARD, because Waffle House usually doesn't close for snowing.
Oh my goodness, that is so true! When I worked there we only closed once during my 3 years and it was just for a few hours, until the tornado warning had passed LOL. We were even open during the snowfall that happened in East Alabama (Auburn/Opelika) January 2018
Believe it or not, there's actually a Waffle House Index that FEMA uses to gauge how bad a disaster is.
It officially called “The Waffle House Index.”
@@charlenehopkins6372 FEMA uses it. Waffle House red means the shit has really hit.
and for hurricanes
Now that you mentioned it, I don't think I've seen a Waffle House commercial in decades... Maybe 40 years? They used to have TV commercials. Now it's mostly IHOP commercials. Don't think I've seen a Denny's commercial in awhile either. Heck most of the TV commercials I grew up with don't have commercials anymore. When is the last time you heard the Jolly Green Giant say “HO HO HO Green Giant!”? I'm a nerd I walk through the grocery store humming or singing the old jingles as I walk past items, or buy them. Only other old people join in with me. We're the only ones that remember those commercials.
Thank you for the video, greatly appreciated.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
What happened to the dog hallucinating the little chuck wagon? And I haven't seen Madge the Manicurist in years.
I’m not even old in my opinion just in my 30s and I literally hum all the jingles too 🤣🤣🤣
@@Bacopa68 Hi,
I know right? The big companies that used to advertise just stopped doing it. Most of them used to advertise during soap operas, and prime time, and they're just gone.
But have fun counting lawyer commercials during one show. If you took a bite out of a cookie for every lawyer commercial during one show you'd go into a diabetic coma by the end. 🤣
Shame isn't it. I think they should just play all of their old commercials from the 60's and 70's. Those were good commercials, and they're already paid for. 😁
👵✌️🖖
...earwormed...! XD
@@alysoffoxdale Hi,
Ear Wormed by which one?
Down in the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant, ho ho ho Green Giant.

Now I know I've driven you nuts.
Sorry, but not sorry. After I wrote the first comment they were stuck in my head all day. I'm sharing the misery.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
🤣 👵✌️🖖
Girl in the black blouse was me on my first visit. To be fair my last visit too. I went in very unprepared, exhausted from a many hour flight, a panic attack at the airport and barely registering the English I was hearing around me at 3am. I still think I was the most coherant customer in the building though.
If you couldn't understand what people were saying in the WH at 3am, then yes you were probably the most coherent person in the place!😅
I just finished eating at Waffle House. Mine is pretty quiet and clean. Only thing is you have to avoid the rush hour times or you will be waiting for a table.
Lost my Mom last November and my kid and I made a new tradition to eat at Waffle House for Thanksgiving and Christmas. No mess, no cleaning and way less drama. I made sure to give them a great tip in thanks for making our holidays a little less hard.
Is it occupied or broken. Both 😂 oh that got me good.
I avoid using the Home Depot restrooms for the same reason given in the video.
And, no...I have never seen a Waffle House commercial. 🤔🤔
This channel quickly became a favorite in such a short time after I discovered it.
Waffle House is one of the Southern things I miss the most! A houseguest that had cooked for Waffle House offered to cook a breakfast for us. Best breakfast I’d had in a decade.
I get angry if the waitress doesn’t call me a version of “sugar, baby, honey, sweetie, cutie, or sonny.”
I use same endearments for my husband.❤
Don’t bother getting angry, just walk out. Can’t be that great
Fun tip: The All Star breakfast toast can be Cinnamon Raisin toast if you say Please! We usually split the All Star and add another side of bacon.
I usually ask to sub for a biscuit!
@@StephanieDefinitely me too! And a side of gravy 😋
Can I please get the apple butter also? I Love some Waffle House.
This is hilarious, I laughed at everything. Everyone did a great job.
I find it odd that so many people say they don't go there or would never eat there and yet they are always packed 24/7! (At least the ones in my town).
you forgot waffle house is the test to just how bad a weather even is based on how open it exactly is. hurrican or flood, it's open, but the less staff that's there, the more dire the emergency. And if its actually closed .... THE APPOCOLYPSE
The first one is impossible. Waffle House doesn’t close except for the occasional hurricane, remodel, or fumigation.
Ergo The Waffle House Index
So during the occasional hurricane or when a literal tree/vehicle hits it, then.
When I was at university, the Waffle House nearest campus was run exclusively by drag queens. It was both the best and worst place.
Oh my god, that's a new reality show just waitin' to happen. And my fool ass would watch _every episode!_
Which University?! Asking for a friend.
Please, at least give me the state! (Asking for research purposes.)
@@Polythene_Pam I would definitely watch that.
The local Walmart in my town had a lot gay men working there , for a while anyway . I would go in there around 4am . The guy at the the check out was a flamboyant type , so I gave him a wink and he responded with: " it's late , but it's not that late." I nearly busted a gut laughing . Imagine being brushed by a gay Walmart checker !

I feel y'all aren't given my beloved Waffle House the same adoration as you do Chick-fil-A.
So many times, I've been out with my family for a Sunday drive after church, and my little girl says "Lets Go to Chick-fil-A" for dinner. It hurts us all, but I know I can say "How about Waffle House" ?!
I know that we can get "scattered, covered, smothered and chunked". We've even ate there on Christmas!!! 😋
Oh yeah...Y'all mentioned they don't have commercials. That's weird.
Ever seen Whisperin' Bill Anderson's video for the song "Waffle House Christmas"?
LOL!
@@ffiiichipdeaton8132 word of mouth is the best advertisement you can get! I actually worked for a pharmacy that did no commercials. He sponsored schools and helped order teacher supplies. He had great prices for being outside city limits, too. Locals know where the best places are! Have you ever heard of bad reviews by word if mouth? You can do things right for hundreds of people but 1 person talking about being given bad service and everyone will know how fasts it gets around.
“Waffles aren’t the best thing on the menu.” That is so true.
Scattered Smothered and covered is the best thing at waffle house.
@@jeffreyt991 I disagree -- Triple order, Scattered, Smothered, double Covered and Chunked is the best thing at WH. :)
Scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, spit on and thrown down!
When I was in college, I was part of a group that frequented the Waffle House on Northside at I-75 in Atlanta. The waitress we always had was named "Mama" (literally, that was what was on her nametag) and she always called us her babies. After several months, she left but we didn't know where she went or what happened. Several months later, a couple of us were in another part of Atlanta and decided to go into the Waffle House there. What do you know, but Mama was there and she started yelling to the other staff there "these here are my babies". I was shocked that she not only remembered us, but was also excited to see us.
Another time, my brother and his friends went to a Waffle House, caused a ruckus, left a mess, and decided to leave a 400% tip (all they had was coffee) because they felt so bad.
Clearly your brother and his friends were brought up right 😂
Take the keys, knowing the WH don't ever close had me rolling. Used to love working at the WH and listening to the drama. "AS THE WAFFLE BURNS" was the saying.
Waffle house drama...watched two people get busted for drugs one day. Dinner and a show also got free bacon and laughed at the cook who said it was third shift shit happening at 1 pm.
The drama part is so true! Better than anything on television
I do security, 🚔 Orlando Florida WH. 🍳. We had some ass-hat woman sit at the counter for 20min, 1130pm while her infant baby, 2 toddler kids were in a car. I was livid! 🤬
OMSG I cannot stop laughing at this Anthony Bourdain would have appreciated this because of that one time he visited and appreciated the waffles
I was scrolling through the comments to see if anybody was going to mention Anthony Bourdain's Waffle House visit. He really did like the food.
Anthony Bourdain's not so guilty secret was that he would go to KFC just for their mac & cheese.
Now do a Things Southerners say during a hurricane at Waffle House.
Yes
I’d watch that
Hey, look! The Weather Channel van just pulled up!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@tuvelat7302 "Lookie here! Jim Cantore just showed up!"
🤣🤣 I worked ar WH for a year and half. And this is absolutely hilarious how some of it is so accurate lol Have a friend that's been working at WH for 20 yrs. Definitely sharing this to my WH friends. 🤣🤣🤣
Liz is such a versatile actress.
She can be a well to do genteel Southern lady in one skit & the next,a waitress who is about ready to slap some dang body with the coffee pot if she doesn't get her cigarette break.
Had a smile on my face the whole time. Laughed out loud at the HD TP comment! 😂
Just had Waffle House this morning
All-Star Special
White Toast with Grape Jelly
Hash Brown, Covered, Chunked, and Diced (With Ketchup)
Regular Waffle, no butter, regular syrup
City Ham
Scrambled Eggs
Sweet Tea
God bless a Southern Breakfast.
Close, but All Star over light, bacon, wheat toast and Grits with EXTRA butter. Sweet Tea and Coffee! Why is it that the new cooks can't cook eggs OL anymore? There will be a waffle house in Heaven!
Thanks for creating a channel that truly appreciates us southerners lol I remember the Waffle House it’s been a while
LMAO!!!! Solo true!!!! Thank you for giving us such wonderful humor! The wrong eatery...always reminds me of Mom, when she tried to order a Big Mac @ Burger Chef then tried to order a Whopper @ McDonalds! Us kids howled with laughter!
there needs to be waffle house series. too many things to talk about in just one video.
Oh yes. 💯% agree!! That would be fab!!
Yes!!!!
I have made a lot of great memories in Waffle House and thanks to the fact that there wasn't a camera on every phone during those times, nobody can share them with you!
Yessssss!!! 🤣🤣🤣💯
I for another is going to agree with you completely on that filming part. 🎥
my mom aunt and grand mother say that constantly.
SOO GLAD there is no video or audio records of the stupid shit we used to do
Loved how they added the one about people in the ceiling, that one happened in my home town.
😲
As a Texan who moved to Georgia eight years ago, I can say this is spot on. And there really is a secret menu. You won't find the pork chops & eggs plate on the regular menu, but they know exactly what to charge and what it comes with. That's just one example. If you order that while visiting the South, they won't think you're a tourist. Do that if you want to blend in.
You won't find the waffle sandwich on the menu either, but they will make you one. It used to be on the menu ages ago.
He's right about the drama behind the counter! 😂😂😂
I actually watched a training video for the cooks and wait staff. That system is amazing. I went and watched the staff work it in real life and was impressed at how easily they could handle multiple orders. Waffle House is not just cheap good food, its an art.
Then you'd like seeing dining car waiters work. They walk up and down the aisles carrying huge round trays loaded with dishes and glassware, balanced on one hand. I've never seen any of those guys come anywhere close to dropping one.
I once went to WH with my son who was attending "chef school" at the time. As we were waiting for our order, he pointed to the cook and said, "Right there is the Grand Prix of cooking."
Norm comin' into Cheers.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
As someone who has been drunk at 4 AM at a Waffle House, I can guarantee you that at least 80% of this is accurate.
Go in there at 1 am on a Thursday night! 😆
I love this! You guys are awesome!
More Wafflle House, yeah ! We want more
It's so popular around here even the Japanese hibachi chefs say welcome to waffle house and ask how we want our eggs cooked on the hibachi grill.
After moving south, I find your humor even more hilarious 😂
Liz has it all down pat😝👍🏻‼️
It’s the “Awful House”🤣🤣. Still go there to eat though😁. Had an All Star yesterday morning.
We need more waffle house content lol
I have a painful foot injury and one of the late night waitresses has always volunteered to bring my to go order out to the car after I pay for it. When McDonald's and Krystal are closed because they are "updating their systems", I go to the WH down the street for breakfast take out. A meat lovers pork chop breakfast feeds me breakfast and lunch at work. I miss the flat iron steaks, but the other beef options are acceptable. Huddle House in my area gave up staying open 24/7, but WH just keeps on keeping on.
I worked at Waffle House years ago for about 2.5 months. I’ve always said I worked there and I even have all my teeth!🤣🤣
Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, Topped, Slopped, Mutilated and Regurgitated!! 😂😂
Yup, Waffle House is where things go down😂
I remember taking my Yankee husband to WH for the first time. He was ALL IN immediately. Kinda teared up when I told him about the old days all-you-can-eat menus.
Can we get more sassy waitress Liz?
Wouldn't want the waffle to ever change...even if it is a hot mess!!! GREAT JOB YA ALL!!!
Adam is so right about rolling up early in the morning after making questionable decisions the night before. But usually it is just yet another in the long list of questionable decisions that you've made that day.
I haven’t been to Waffle House and I still laughed at this.
this is a documentary, no exaggeration was used during the filming of this.
You're not missing anything
It's almost an American tradition...lol
It's all true!!! And they have the best coffee in the world!!!!
I was afraid to admit I'd never been to Waffle House until I saw your comment!
Lady in the black shirt is clearly from the North😂
After watching this, I need a Waffle House fix! I love the breakfast there and the employees are always entertaining. I especially enjoy sitting at the counter and talking to Dave, the cook that seems to work 24 hours a day there.
What I can’t take is going in EARLY, half asleep, and someone decides to play some awful songs on the jukebox.
At WH is there any other kind?
I'm not familiar with Waffle House, but the waitress's comments made me laugh out loud every time😄
My grandmother was a waitress in Arlington Texas Waffle House in the 80's . To this day I still compare all hashbrowns to my old scattered smothered covered diced chunked and topped. They seriously need to expand to other states. Currently live in MI and have no problem driving 2 hours for these delicacies😁
I saw a billboard for a Waffle House in my city and I almost had a heart attack
I have a favorite WH near me. They do say “Hey, Miss Anne!” when I come in. But it is very clean. Miss Judy runs a tight ship.
Once I asked the lady if they had “real butter” and she was so confused. She said, “It’s right there, hun.” “No, like BUTTER, not whipped vegetable oil.” Blank stare. “That’s the stuff we use.” So the answer is No.
I'm sorry but, this made me laugh out loud. I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing with you. It does amaze me that she didn't know what real butter is.
Some people don't know the difference between butter and margarine. Had the same issue at a Dutch Bro's asking for real sugar. The kid handed me four different packets, none of which had the word SUGAR on them. I guess she didn't take that high school chemistry class yet.
Butter is whatever is soft and yellow and will melt on hot food while leaving a savory/salty flavor. It's a generic term in the South. Like Band-Aid. Or Coke.
@@jsharp3165 Oh, and calling adhesive bandages "Band-Aid(tm)" or any soda or cola "Coke(tm)" is what's called Genericide, and the people who own those trademarks and have really expensive lawyers to defend those trademarks would kindly like you to cut it out.
@@jackielinde7568 I know what genericide is, Jack. When I'm served a C&D for referring to a Curad as a Band-Aid when asking my wife if we have any in the house, then I'll worry. But not until.
Listen honey you gonna have to make a decision here this ain't Denny's!!😂😂
That was scary. I have never seen a Waffle House commercial, either. Unless you count the number of times Waffle House shows up in the Crime section of the news paper. The number of fights there that make the news? We're talking the Florida Man of Breakfast Establishments. It's odd to read a story about a fight that doesn't take place at a Waffle House.
Took my grandson for his first trip to WH last Monday. Tradition continues. 😁
Every scene %100 true.
Honey, baby, and darlin'. Liz nailed it.
As a Waffle House employee of about a month I was dying laughing this was incredible
Oh Lawd! Liz had made EVERY point I've ever said about the Haus of Waffles. So good!
Laughed so hard on this skit!
Liz as the employee was spot on the funniest lines. 😂👌
This is so fun to watch
My favorite Waffle Hose memory was the clientele slow dancing in the dining room when my deer hunting crew stopped for breakfast off I-75 in middle Georgia back 50 years ago…good times as we joined them (only other female I’ve ever danced with than my late wife…she approved ❤️)…love your content!
Still the most selling T-bone steak sales in the US.
LMAO
I just recently stop by at my first waffle house in arkasas6 on I-40
And I was able to catch on all staff drama and everything you guys mentioned Its So TRUE..
So funny! So southern! I was in my fifties the first time I ate at a waffle house-I now consider myself a deprived child becuase of that
Their chocolate chip waffle will always and forever be my go to. Nothing like that hot waffle, chips thrown on top and slightly melted, butter in each hole, and a little bit of syrup. Before and after standard exams, finals, football games… good times
Fingers go right through it
Lol
My favorite was when I went to a Waffle House in Little Rock and there was a sign on the door handwritten saying no fighting 😂
