| - I know its a 4-5 star place, I just showed up at the wrong time. I'll be back.
Judging from the crowd and my friends recommendations I know this place is where you can get some great southern home cooking and breakfast. Problem is, I showed up at 2pm on a Sunday looking for breakfast when they close at 3pm.
A group of six of us all needed some greasy/hearty southern food to soak up the booze from the night before. At 3-4am we decided that if we accomplished nothing else the next day we would make it here.
We walked into a fairly packed restaurant but it looked like most people were headed out the door shortly. Nothing fancy by any means, plenty of tables of all sizes. We were seated quickly. I wanted sweet tea, but not piles of sugar(and this place was COUNTRY), so I asked for half and half sweet/non-sweet. It came unsweetened. Our waitress just left us a pitcher of sweet so my refills were perfect. It wasn't on purpose but one side of our table ordered breakfast while the other ordered home cooking. At 2pm, home cookin' was the way to go.
I ordered the breakfast special with bacon, 2 eggs, choice of side and choice of bread for about $5. The eggs(over medium) were cooked perfectly and the bacon wasn't half bad either. The biscuit was great as well. I made a little bacon and egg biscuit that would have been perfect with a slice of cheese. My big qualm was the hash browns though, completely stale.
Our side of the table all stared in envy at 3 different $7.99 specials of a meat and 2 veggies across from us. Pot roast with mac and cheese, Turkey with dressing and cole slaw, and a meat loaf with collards. They had some bannana puddin' and some other deserts as well. I got to try a couple bites, but I think if I went for more I would have ended up with a fork in my hand.
All in all, I was satisfied, but pretty much every time I've been to Waffle House I've had better hash browns. I have faith though!!! If I'm ever down that was before 3pm I'll do it right and get me some great southern cookin'.
