. "First-ever trip to Waffle House a success!\n\nDespite frequent travels across the Midwest and Southeast, never had the urge to pull off into the 24-hour staple of franchised cooking. This came to an end in Willoughby, Ohio.\n\nOrdered the pecan waffle along with a large side of hash browns done smothered (with onions), and chunked (and ham). Food emerged promptly, and I was actually impressed.\n\nWaffles was Eggo thin (no odes to Brussels or Liege here), but were nevertheless crunchy on the surface with a hint of soft on the inside. Batter evoked the smell of sweet vanilla cream; probably intended. With butter and Aunt Jemima-style syrup, overall very satisfying. As were the shredded hash brown, which was served just a bit crunchy.\n\nReasonably clean overall, but noted leaky syrup bottles left sticky rings on everything it contacted. Including my elbows.\n\nWill return."^^ . . "1"^^ . "2"^^ . "2015-11-01T00:00:00"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ . .
