Great Value!

Ate at one of the South Atlanta Waffle Houses for breakfast. I had the All Star breakfast including drink for $4.99! What a great value! Look at the "Manager's Special" board when you enter each store to check out the specials.

Pork Chops and Applesauce!

Minus the Applesauce; Add Hashbrowns instead! I had the pork chop dinner today in south Fayetteville. Richard cooked them to perfection! The waitress had just made the salads so it was fresh with tomatoes, carrots, cabbage. The hashbrowns were golden brown and I really believe the pork chop dinner is probably the best meal on the menu!

Friendly, Friendly, Friendly!

I have been frequenting a few Waffle House locations in south Atlanta over the years and there is one waitress who always seems to follow me. Her name is "Trish" and she has always been a great waitress with time to always chat and see how my day is going! Thanks Trish for making the mornings a great start!

You can eat heart healthy at Waffle House!

Two poached eggs; don't eat the yolk, wheat toast, a couple bites of grits and unsweet tea. Does not sound that great but it is pretty healthy!

Waffle House Valentines!

While eating breakfast this morning the husband of one of the Waffle House waitresses came walking in with a large "heart" balloon, a box of candy and delivers it with a kiss to his wife who is a waitress at Waffle House. Then another waitress from the back comes into the dining area with a dozen red roses which the husband had delivered and asked to bring in while he was there. His wife smiled and gave him another kiss!

Love at the Waffle House!

Still good; just a little more expensive!

My favorite meal!

My favorite breakfast meal at Waffle House is fiesta omelette "old fashioned" hold the yolk, grits, wheat toast, unsweet tea. My favorite lunch is grilled chicken plate. My favorite dinner is pork chop dinner.

Old fashioned!

Try the Fiesta Omelette "Old Fashioned" style! It is delicious.

Educate yourself at Waffle House!

Today I had breakfast at WH and was able to meet a territory manager for a large food distributor. I learned a great deal about that industry speaking with this gentleman during breakfast. It is very interesting who you meet at WH. Name me another restaurant chain that provides as much opportunity to meet people and get to know them. Just about every chain has gone away from the counter service except WH. The seating arrangement creates an environment for meeting people and communication. I have met very interesting people while eating at various locations. It is the great American Diner!

Saturday Treat!

Today was a good day with two eggs (soft scrambled), bacon, hashbrowns, toast, unsweet tea. It is hard sometimes to actually get "soft" scrambled eggs. The ones served this morning were perfect. Share your best meal at Waffle House!

116 Waffle Houses to stay open under deal!

http://www.ajc.com/business/content/business/stories/2009/02/05/waffle_house_franchise.html

Waffle House took over the ailing franchisee locations, saved over 3,000 jobs and obviously saved thousands of Waffle House Lovers from depression! Could you imagine 116 vacant Waffle House locations? That would be a depressing sight.

Thanks for the hard work all of the people working to keep the units open. That was a huge business challenge. I personally know what it is like to renew or renegogiate one lease; they had to deal with 60 individual Landlords. I believe all of this was done in less than three months. Great Work and thanks for keeping the yellow sign up and shining bright!

Debt Free!

Waffle House practices what we all should! They expand thru cash flow. It is supposedly industry knowledge that Waffle House actually has all locations including land and building improvements paid for in full when opened. That is a great accomplishment!

Encouragement Meeting!

I actually had a friend of mine buy my breakfast at Waffle House this morning! We ate and encouraged each other during these challenging economic times. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! My buddy had a Fiesta omelette with hamburger instead of ham. I had an old fashioned hold the yolk omelette.

It takes a lot of Waffles!

If you ever thought about working in the food industry and you enjoy people check this out:

I spoke with a manager in training at Waffle House. For those with interest the management program seems to be very good! Pay is in the mid $30K range while training and when a store is assigned it bumps up to low $40K with bonuses which increases annual pay to an average of around $54K. It would seem to be a time intensive position but a person would definitely know how to run a restaurant and all its related parts after managing a Waffle House 24/7 and for the right person who is willing to work it should offer great advancement opportunities!

Great meeting today at Fayetteville, GA Waffle House!

Today I had a great meeting with accountant and discussed tax strategies. Friendly staff, great food, the cook "Sonya" at this location is outstanding. I don't remember ever having a bad meal delivered from her hands. I believe her mother is a chef so she grew up with cooking in her blood! It shows in her dedication cooking at Waffle House.

Anyway, today I had a Fiesta "old fashioned" omelet (hold the yolks), hashbrowns (in a ring) and wheat toast, unsweet tea. The diner is alive and well. I feel sorry for people who start their day with a bowl of cereal. That was me for years but not anymore!

Share your favorites!

Superbowl Sunday!

I stopped by the Waffle House in Union City, GA. Got an egg white and sausage sandwich on whole wheat toast. I always ask for extra pickles. I don't know why I like that with pickles but man it was good. Their unsweet tea was good today also!

Met a man who gave me a referral for a job. You never know who you will meet in a Waffle House!
