The rule Wifey and I have is that, when traveling, don't eat at a place we can eat at at home. There are rare exceptions. (Example: you are in an airport terminal and only have 20 minutes before boarding, and there is a Burger King right there. In that case, don't go searching--take the easy and fast option.)

We had our first Waffle House experience last June in North Carolina, Verdict: meh. IHOP is much better.

It's not hard to have a bad experience at Waffle House. They are about efficiency and not worried about customer experience and atmosphere. There are times when you can have a great experience at Waffle House. While I don't drink much anymore, Waffle House at 2 am and Waffle House at 10 am (recovering from the previous night) are truly magical cures for hangovers.
 
One Waffle House experience I remember all too well was my brother & I are sitting in a booth waiting for our food to arrive. This is around the 10:00 am time.

There's a baby crying at one table, some very loud talking & laughter from another, cashier ringing up someone, pans being dropped...& the song on the jukebox is Simon & Garfunkel's Sound of Silence.



There are a few others that stick in my mind too.
