Waffle House has raised their overall prices by 96% since 2020. Hash browns increased by 110% and coffee went from $1.80 to $3.15. At one point, they added a $0.50 cent surcharge per egg due to the shortages caused by the avian flu.
It’s easy and cheap to make breakfast at home with 50% less grease. Waffle House ain’t cheap anymore and that’s all they really had going.
Yeah it’s pretty sad. Back in high school a bunch of my friends would hang out at the Waffle House sometime between 10pm and 4am several times a week. It was 3.25 for coffee and a waffle. If you forgot your wallet you could usually scrounge for change under your friends car seats and make it happen. That was about 10 years ago, but man it feels like a whole different time, and just yesterday all at the same time. The cost of everything now makes me sick
Honestly, I like Waffle House. I am also not getting massive meals when I go. My kids get Waffles and Bacon, I get a Bacon Egg and Cheese. Our whole bill is maybe 20 bucks, which after materials and the time involves isn’t much more than at home.
Once when I was in Indiana I went to a waffle house because I had never been. I wanna say it was late 2023. I think it seemed fairly cheap as far as eating at a restaurant goes but that may have just been because I am not from Indianapolis.
I remember thinking the food was alright. I’d definitely paid more for worse.
I remember years ago Steak N Shake came out with some promo that was something like “10 meals under $10” and Waffle House responded with I think 15 under $5.

No one really goes to Waffle House on purpose.
The police? Ambulances?
Last time I went to Waffle House was for a quick breakfast on my way to buy my girlfriend Plan B.
On your way? Should have just asked, I bet someone at the waffle house could have sold it to you.
You could’ve just given her Waffle House and saved the trip.
I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover or coming down from your actual destination?
Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?
Inverses!
Remaining use cases for Waffle House are drunk fights and measuring the scale of natural disasters / catastrophic events, see Waffle House Index.

Yes it’s my literal favorite
Same. Literally my favorite restaurant, though I don’t go as often as I used to due to the price increases.
The Texas steak sandwich is an absolute must for a hangover.
In my city we just go to Salisbury house for that
