Waffle House has raised their overall prices by 96% since 2020. Hash browns increased by 110% and coffee went from $1.80 to $3.15. At one point, they added a $0.50 cent surcharge per egg due to the shortages caused by the avian flu.

It’s easy and cheap to make breakfast at home with 50% less grease. Waffle House ain’t cheap anymore and that’s all they really had going.

I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover or coming down from your actual destination?

Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?

Truly inspirational

What if you run over a waffle, that looks like a pancake?

Remaining use cases for Waffle House are drunk fights and measuring the scale of natural disasters / catastrophic events, see Waffle House Index.

Honestly, I like Waffle House. I am also not getting massive meals when I go. My kids get Waffles and Bacon, I get a Bacon Egg and Cheese. Our whole bill is maybe 20 bucks, which after materials and the time involves isn't much more than at home.

The Texas steak sandwich is an absolute must for a hangover.

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I haven't had a non breakfast item from there in 15 years. Will try it

[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same. Literally my favorite restaurant, though I don't go as often as I used to due to the price increases.

[–] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I feel that for sure. I save Waffle House for special occasions now. When I want to fill the holy hunger.

Def love calling in a biscuit in the morning. The gas station ones are more expensive now, and theirs are better

In my city we just go to Salisbury house for that

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No one really goes to Waffle House on purpose.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Last time I went to Waffle House was for a quick breakfast on my way to buy my girlfriend Plan B.

On your way? Should have just asked, I bet someone at the waffle house could have sold it to you.

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You could've just given her Waffle House and saved the trip.

They are going because of necessity.

Ain't nobody else open at 4 AM.

Or during emergencies

replace waffle house with fast food and nothing changes

Once when I was in Indiana I went to a waffle house because I had never been. I wanna say it was late 2023. I think it seemed fairly cheap as far as eating at a restaurant goes but that may have just been because I am not from Indianapolis.

I remember thinking the food was alright. I'd definitely paid more for worse.

I remember years ago Steak N Shake came out with some promo that was something like "10 meals under $10" and Waffle House responded with I think 15 under $5.

Yeah it’s pretty sad. Back in high school a bunch of my friends would hang out at the Waffle House sometime between 10pm and 4am several times a week. It was 3.25 for coffee and a waffle. If you forgot your wallet you could usually scrounge for change under your friends car seats and make it happen. That was about 10 years ago, but man it feels like a whole different time, and just yesterday all at the same time. The cost of everything now makes me sick
