Exactly.  There's a reason that Virginians call Waffle House  Awful House. 
We say that in Arkansas too. Luckily, we have IHOPs.

We said that back in SC, too. But for some things, Awful House beats the snot out of IHOP. Hash browns scattered and covered - IHOP doesn't even get CLOSE to that. And the grits at WH are actually surprisingly good.

What is the secret to making grits good?  I had them in Kentucky once, and they were just bland.

The secret to good grits is not to have them at a restaurant. Like cream of wheat, it's best right off the stove, at a chocolate milk consistency.

Yes, WH has great hash browns. But my brother in law worked there once. They only accept cash for payment, and they pay their employees in cash. That has money-laundering all over it. That's when we stopped eating there.

Waffle House? Laundering money?

:D

In all seriousness, every single WH employee I've ever encountered (and I've eaten at a LOT of 'em) has been a pleasant, smiling, genuinely cheerful person - you can't have that many people fake it that well. And that in itself tells me that they must have a much lower tendency to p*** on their employees than most of the restaurants I've been to... which makes me want to support the place as much as possible.

I'd be there. My best friend lives outside Chicago; she and her daughter are both Dresdenphiles.
