waffle house CRUSHES all opponents, but the last time i was at a denny's (in the middle of the night while drunk SHOCKAH), my glob of greasy melted crap was darned tasty.

i imagine that the Best IHOP Ever might be pretty great, but by and large they seem medicore at best. Waffle House has more personality, as a chain, but i have had far fewer WH experiences.

The IHOP has good coffee, good OJ, and I like their variety of pancakes. I'm biased though...IHOP is one of my favorite chains, everything smells so good and looks so good. I suppose they'll get bombed out of business now that I said that.
But I've never been to Waffle House so I don't know.

I would probably like Waffle House more though, if I had been there more than once. They seem to be KEEPIN IT REAL.

WHAt ABOUT EMBER'S? ALWAYS FORGOTTEN...

but you totally order so much stuff, if memory serves correctly!
my vote goes to waffle house.

I like Embers fine but it's no Perkins.

Are there still Happy Chefs out there? I miss seeing those square boxy buildings with the marquee bulbs lining the edges.

one tired morning at IHOP a few months ago i reached for the maple syrup to pour on my pancakes, only to realize too late i had mistakenly grabbed the coffee. i had actually taken a bite before realizing what happened.

I've got a "not-sweet-yams-but-MASHED-CARROTS!" story I could share, but I'll wait for the Luby's/Picadilly's thread.

Yeah, old IHOPs are about as easy to spot as former Pizza Hut's. Once, I was driving at dusk down Markham without my glasses, and was just amazed by how blue the sky looked. It took me a second to really focus before I realized that I was looking at the high roof of an IHOP.

Nickalicious's weed-dealer story is still the hidden gem of this thread.

last time I went to WH was on 1-81 in VA where the guy sitting next to me was vehemently refused his special request on the souped-up home fries. those potatoes are over-the-top already.
the original Perkins Pancake House was in my Cincinnati neighborhood. a real hole-in-the-wall on Hamilton Ave.

Last time I went to IHOP I ordered the ice cream sundae, and there was a long hair in it. I sent it back and told them I didn't want another one, but they brought me another anyway. I let my friends eat it. When I went to the counter to pay for my drink, they charged me for the sundae too. When I tried to explain the situation, the hostess woman threatened to call the cops if I didn't pay up. I gave them my $3, and will never go back.

I'd lose my shit if I ever saw a hearse at the back of a Waffle House.
