I agree about Perkins. Thy closed our local one to make room for a gargantuan church. It was managed by a man they called Gator, who treated my kids like princesses. They had a fortune telling gypsy in a machine. "Fortunes for a quarter, I love quarters!"

You have to admit she handled that flying chair really well...didn't seem to phase her at all.

I ate a a Waffle house, several times, when I was in Talladega for the IDPA National and World Championship it was just down the street from the Match Hotel...nothing quite as exciting as this.

They're holding it there again this year, so I guess we'll be going back...there were four of us




No, Daoism isn't a religion

The smallest chick there brought the noise. She could have taken on half the crowd. Plus she just looked bad ass tossing that chair to the side after it was thrown at her.

I have only been to Waffle House once in my life back around 1998 and got bad food poisoning. Never been to one ever again. Beyond that, I try to stay home as much as possible instead of going out to eat or to events because there are too many nuts in this world.

Years ago, when still young, one of my sisters took a job as a waitress at Shoney's. Day she started she walked around the wall separating the dining room from the kitchen and two of the other waitresses were on the floor duking it out. That was her last day there. This was many many years back. Before people started openly acting like feral animals so blatantly.

There's a Waffle House in the Yoop? Last I knew the furthest-north WH was in southern Ohio or so? Last I knew there were none even in SE Michigan.

My wife and I stopped at a couple on the way back from Kentucky a few years ago. Food seemed pretty decent.

There were no Amish fighting or attacking the staff.

They opened a new one a few miles from me last summer. Finally got a chance to stop in last week.

Waffle House is a fixture in the South. It "is what it is," i.e., passable, "just OK" food at a working man's price, and always open. I would frequently go to the Elizabethton location for breakfast, as they made a serviceable omelet. At that hour the belligerent drunks, if any, have cleared out, so I never saw any fights. I did almost step in a pile of puke in the parking lot with a cigarette butt planted squarely in the middle of it once.

Thread drift: If you’re in Missouri you’ve got to eat at Lamberts Throwed Rolls Restaurant near Branson. They literally throw the rolls to you from across the restaurant. As far as I know there’s never been a throwed chair there. Smile

ThrowedRolls link. They have other locations.

Of course the off color riddle of what has six breasts and three teeth comes to mind.

I used to take my wife and young kids to Waffle House for weekend breakfasts. It was great. But that resturant was in a good location. I have walked in others and turned right around. Food is somewhere between decent and good, but the location is important for managing risk.

No Waffle House in the Yoop. I was referring to the one on my old patrol beat.

Love me some Waffle House. The entertainment is part of the experience.
