In reply to the discussion: Waffle House seems to be a hive of social activity in the South... [View all]Separation
(1,975 posts)85. Down here in Florida
They are called the Huddle House. I would venture it's to Waffle House as what Hardee's is to Carl's Jr.
From the looks of Google mapsthough, it seems that the WH is now invaded Florida. All down I-75, lots in Orlando and other cities and towns.
After I retired I moved from Florida to Tennessee (yea I know. I did it bass akwards) when I left Florida I could never find a WH, it was all HH. I'm actually in Orlando for a Dr's appointment for my son, and they are all over now.

The Waffle Houses near me were always packed when they allowed smoking. Now they are mostly empty.

Hah, they are, which is why I haven't been to one in at least seven years of road trips south.

Any eatery joint open after club hours is going to be a hole of ratchetry and mayhem.

I think dining and dashing the Waffle House is a right of passage in parts of the South
