Waffle House is hands down my favorite restaurant. This is a place that offers familiarity, good food, warm smiles, cheesy music, and hot coffee 24 hours a day. What more could one ask for? There are also added bonuses for regular customers, such as receiving your "regular" without having to order, getting advice on any and everything from the staff, and discussing the local and national news with those of (extremely) varied opinions.
This afternoon I was having a pleasant breakfast at WH when a "regular" walked in and sat down at the WH bar. The waitress asked him how his Christmas was, and he replied that it was pretty good, could have been better, etc. Then he said, "I don't have everything I want, but I've got more than I need." It warmed my heart. Only at WH can one overhear such simple but profound everyday wisdom, because everyone at WH is there to dine together.
