To me when I think of the Waffle House breakfast is what comes to mind and of course it's always really late at night and usually always with bunch of friends.
You know that moment you been out partying or just out late doing whatever it's 1 o'clock in the morning. Your buddy's say hey let's grab something to eat, usually at night your choices are limited so it's only IHOP, Cookout, or Waffle House that's open to choose from. To me I classify this type of a restaurant as a greasy spoon dinner it's not a bad thing it's just a particular type of food you can always count on no matter what city you're in. I give it a late night thumbs up !
