Being a native New Englander, my experience with the Waffle House chain of restaurants has been until recently as limited as an ice cube’s life expectancy in the June Georgia sun. As I make more trips down south, however, I am becoming more and more...

Pros: Extremely reasonable prices for meals.
Cons: Friendly service varies from location to location.

Pros: Open 24 hours. At least for most people.
Cons: Mentality of operators?

I've eaten at the Waffle House before -- but only because there wasn't anywhere else to go and my husband was hungry. We don't have Waffle Houses in Nebraska (and we don't miss 'em). The only time I've encountered them was when I was traveling with my...
