I liked the Waffle House in Fort Smith, Arkansas when I stopped there for breakfast a few years ago, so I thought I'd introduce my family to this southern mainstay. My egg and cheese omlette was good (nice and fluffy eggs), but my wife said the meat in her patty melt tasted like it was old. I agreed. The servers were as nice as could be. Don't expect to be able to sit with more than 4 people at a table (only one table can seat four, and the rest seat only two).
I thought the fact that they mopped the tile floors right next to us when we ate our lunch "quaint", but my wife wasn't so pleased.
