Waffle House is more than a 24/7 dining compartment . It ’s an American legend . A southerly institution of dining after a night of drinking . The " smothered and cover " hashbrowns and butter - sop waffle are only part of the allurement : its deep - fried mystique is really due to thecrazy shitWaffle House inspires , propelled by the characters you ’ll inevitably meet under those classic glowingorb - lights .

Least of which , are the servers . They ’ll call you " darlin ' , " assure you off - coloring material taradiddle , and give you a dose of on-key southerly hospitality , even if you are northerly of the Mason - Dixon . Recently ,   a real - great deal WF servertook to Redditto slop the sirup on what really goes down behind that yellow - checker sign . And she ’s everything a Waffle House waiter should be .

And yes , they know we all steal those fall guy .

Unsurprisingly, people puke there a lot

And who cleans it, depends on location…

She’s done weird things for tips

Sketchy things happen at Waffle House. They just do.

She once saw someone eat 16 eggs

Fights do break out

Does she know all the customers are stoned?

What was the worst customer experience she ever had?

She’s never had sex in the restaurant. But…

Her biggest tip came on Christmas Eve

There’s a reason you can’t make those cheesy eggs at home

You probably shouldn’t order the salad

Apparently, there’s a secret ingredient that makes everything taste good

Is Waffle House bringing blueberry waffles back?

Whatever you do, don’t play that stupid Waffle House song on the jukebox

How does she like her hashbrowns, and are there secret menu items?

Finally, when someone asked her if they care when people steal mugs, she gave the world’s greatest response
