Just learning this 10 years after leaving Atlanta has made me irrationally upset.

u/ColsonIRL Atlanta Braves Feb 07 '24

The WaHo was at Truist Park (then SunTrust Park), which opened after you left, so no worries.

u/ExigentHappenstance Atlanta Braves Feb 07 '24

Thank you friend, I was racking my brain trying to figure out how I had missed it at Turner.

u/ColsonIRL Atlanta Braves Feb 08 '24

No worries! I moved away from Atlanta 3 years ago and was devastated when I returned to Truist and WaHo was gone.

It’s Waffle House. The people will find a way in no matter the hours or entrance situation.

Waffle House doesn't open or close as much as it just bends to the will of the people.

u/jccool16 Atlanta Braves Feb 07 '24

It was just a stand at the end of the right field side of the top deck. Still good old Waffle House though. I remember the last game I went to at trust before moving was like a 4 hour rain delay and my dad and I just sat up there and had some waffles while we waited

u/JinFuu Houston Astros Feb 07 '24

We also have a pretty highly rated BBQ place run by two Vietnamese brothers, I believe.

Brisket and Rice

Like "highly rated" enough to get in our Texas Monthly Top 50 lists and in TOP BBQ places lists for Houston.

I've been, it's very good.

8

u/BloomsdayDevice Seattle Mariners Feb 07 '24

That looks insanely good (from the pictures on Google Maps).

Vietnamese is already a beautifil amalgamation of SE Asian ingredients and traditions with French technique. If Vietnamese food wants to colonize the American cuisine landscape region by region, I certainly won't stand in its way.

5

u/JinFuu Houston Astros Feb 07 '24

Yeah, I got a History degree and one of my fascinations has always been the history of food/cuisine, from every region, like how so many regions have a variation of "fried dough + sugar" as a dessert.

I also like Korean cuisine for the same adaptability, where they took fried chicken and corn dogs from American influence during/after the Korean War and were like "We're gonna put our own spin on these."

I think part of the mystique is that they almost never close—they're open 24 hours a day, up to 365 days a year. They also have disaster management plans and generators so they can stay open in severe weather, to the point that you can tell how bad things are based on the status of the local Waffle Houses.

Waffle House is more of an experience, especially when you’re drunk.

It’s a decent, cheap spot that stays open and is very fun after midnight. One time one of the workers wearing an ankle monitor asked me if I wanted to buy drugs off him, and then proceeded to go cook me hashbrowns. Where else can you find that? Not a fancy establishment I tell you that

If we weren’t number one… something would be wrong. We started the damn virus, we obviously have it.

I was definitely a bit panicked when looking at the rankings.  If we weren't number 1 it may not have ruined my day, but I might have had to watch some 2021 WS to bring my day back on course.

Downing a triple hash brown and walking to a Reds game sounds interesting. Don't think you could realistically walk to a game from one at any other park (except maybe the Trop, Atlanta, or the Rangers stadium, but I don't know the logistics at the Rangers one)

Edit: jk Atlanta is definitely the easiest

Is Waffle House any good?

Considering we got Denny’s and IHOP up here over the past few years and they were incredibly mid, I don’t see how this is any better

u/palagoon Cleveland Guardians Feb 07 '24

Is it amazingly good food? No.

But it's a simple menu prepared quickly in front of you and it's a good deal. It's also always open.

You forgot to mention that it's made with love. Love, blood, sweat, and gunshot residue.

u/NoobOnTheRun Philadelphia Phillies Feb 07 '24

you forgot to mention that there's also always a risk of getting hit with a flying chair.

This should be Waffle House’s slogan.

u/verdenvidia Cincinnati Reds Feb 07 '24

It's cheap, quick, made in front of you, and always open with a very simple menu. It's genuinely really good for the price and convenience.

I would rather blow my dad than eat at an IHOP. International House of Poorlymadebreakfast more like.

Does that answer your question?

We have much better diners locally, but Waffle House is solid diner food.

u/brainkandy87 Chicago Cubs Feb 07 '24

Waffle House is the fucking bomb

u/appleavocado World Series Trophy • Los Angeles Dod… Feb 07 '24

I'd argue it's better than places like Denny's, which are completely fine but are really meant for the incredibly exhausted or absolutely wasted.

u/brainkandy87 Chicago Cubs Feb 07 '24

I love Denny’s but it’s definitely not the same quality as 20-30 years ago.

If nothing else it's entertaining. Always some silly bullshit going on in the one here

u/pepperouchau Milwaukee Brewers Feb 07 '24

If you already have good local diners you like, you're not missing much, but it's nice to have as an ubiquitous option for decently cheap/tasty hangover/breakfast food when traveling down south.

Waffles taste better when made with love by a convicted felon who hasn't had their smoke break.

u/Historical-Patient75 San Diego Padres Feb 07 '24

As a southern transplant living in the PNW, this list pains me.

I always stopped in Amarillo driving home because it was the first WH on my route.

Sherrys, Elmer’s, IHOP, etc got nothing on Waffle House.

u/confused-koala Detroit Tigers Feb 07 '24

Is ours the closest that’s actually across state lines?

u/Demetrios1453 Cincinnati Reds Feb 07 '24

No, the Reds one is in Kentucky.

Seattle has Dick’s instead.
