I swear I may be the only person who has never actually had a bad experience at Waffle House lol whenever I go it's always just been myself chilling out and drinking coffee with no else there other than the staff, or with one or two friends and it's just as quiet.
I used to be in a shitty local band (well a couple of them) and we would sometimes go to WH at 2 or 3 in the morning. I saw some interesting people for sure. And I have been there many times at all hours of the day. I've never seen anything remotely like the internet horror stories. Obviously there have been fights and shootings and what not at Waffle Houses, but those happen at plenty of other places, too. I think the "shit show rep" that it has just comes from bullshit artists on reddit trying to sound edgy or funny. I saw a lot more weirdness on the handful of times I've ridden a NY subway.
That's about my favorite time to go, I think a lot of it comes from cherry picked videos of crazy fights and things happening at Waffle House that gives it the reputation which, of course those are the videos people see, cause they're actually interesting to watch rather than the 99% of the time where it's just a chill diner, and the food quality's gonna vary from location to location too. Tbh I've seen way crazier things go down at Denny's which I've only been to maybe 4 times in ny entire life?
I was literally coming in to say I've only ever seen awful stuff happen at Denny's. I, too, have only been to those a few times in my life but that crowd is...
Denny's is a place that exists outside time and space, where you can still smoke inside and sometimes there's a whole fistfight over some bitter coffee, is what it is lol
It's been fine for me too. That said, I don't eat there that often.
so far
Very true lol
