They eventually built a gun shop and a Waffle House across the street from where I first rented an apartment in Texas.  Plus, it was 1/2 mile from work.   Location, location, location.

Nearest Waffle House for me is ...  0.5 miles.   

 =D



Where's that cuss smiley when you need it?

A trip to the Waffle House in Clark Summit is a real possibility however. If you're catchin' my vibe.  ;)

Spent years in New England. Never heard of HUDDLE HOUSE. Who or what is/are  it/they?

Pretty much a carbon copy of Waffle House.  Found in WV, NC, VA, PA, MD that I know of.

Looks like they aren't in New England.

Just saying that SWMBO and I will have to be taking a trip to Waffle House, soon.

There seem to be a ton in AZ, but none in CA, NV, or OR. If I want their waffles, I guess I'm heading South. :)

Yes, indeed.

Do not make the faux pas I made first time ordering in a Waffle House.  (FTR, they do not serve french fries.)  The waitress kindly pointed out my misstep, but the louts I had chosen to dine with were less gentle in their remonstrations.

The above was just a picture I found on the interwebz (I know hate on me), but I do like the All Star Special: Scramble, Bacon, White Toast, Hashbrowns (Extra Smothered and regular covered) and a waffle.

Oh, ok, I thought you went to a WH to specifically take that picture and taunt me with it. I don't hate you so bad now. Maybe just a little still.  =|

Nah, new England sucks.  [barf]

We just got a Sonic locally and word has it the food sucks. Oh boy...  ;/

Sonic is based in Oklahoma City and are all over the mid-West.  Go there all the time and love it.  Maybe they haven't got the kinks out yet or someone royally has screwed up.  Sonic and suck do not go in the same sentence together unless you are talking about sucking one of their drinks through a straw.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

In my home town the dirty bastages who owned it replaced a drive in that had been in operation since the 50's with unique and extremely good food with a very meh Sonic Drive in.  Now, the Sonic drive in gets less traffic than the old local drive in and is probably going to go under.

I won't deny that Sonic never compares to the mom and pop's but they are becoming few and far between. :'(

Yeah, Sonic is all right. Not Chuck-A-Burger, but alright.
