Taking Sides: Waffle House vs. IHOP

Waffle House by fucking miles. IHOP tries to trick you into thinking the food isn't nasty, WH is upfront about their total skeeviness. Pecan waffles, hash browns with chili and onions, sausage patty with maple syrup. Mmm. I can feel my arteries hardening with anticipation already.

Potato pancakes are pancakes too.

Oh hell yeah. There's a non-chain pankcake house place only two blocks from my house that convinced me of just how amazing those things can be.

Sadly I've never lived anywhere there were Waffle Houses, but I saw plenty of them while driving across country and I think I ate in one, but don't remember much about it. IHOP, on the other hand, is just alright, I guess.

My Dad is a retired chef originally from Germany and he makes the most incredible potato pancakes. To be perfectly honest though the best I've ever had weren't his but my 87 year old German grandmothers. They were fucking amazing. Would never tell him that though.

ihop, beyond the serviceable pancake menu, serves some of the worst food known to man

i made the horrific mistake of ordering biscuits and gravy there once : (

It's fitting that the "Cats are not for eating!!!" screen name turns up on the Waffle House v. IHOP thread.

Even though I've never been to Waffle House I have to say I'm surprised this is even a question. IHOP is pretty gross.

Waffle House is probably objectively better, but I'd go with IHOP because it is what I grew up with, I've been there a million times, and there's one right near my house that my son likes me to take him to when we are having special father/son time. I can't say that I've ever been to Waffle House either.

Original Pancake House is indeed a great place, really a step beyond some of these more generic ones. We haven't gone there for a while, even though it's come up in conversation - maybe this weekend...

Also, I love me some Cracker Barrel, though once or twice a year is plenty, thank you very much.

Innocent until proven guilty. I am not automatically going to believe this womans story. I have a brain and use it for critical thinking.

Since the opening of its first restaurant in the Atlanta suburb of Avondale in 1955, Waffle House has become a culinary staple of the South with more than 1,500 restaurants that are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is known for its signature shitty yellow signage, jukebox music and breakfast offerings.

Whatever, that signage is cool! I like the little plastic signs they stick in the oreo pie.

There are just 10 in all of Yankeedom, which has 55 million people. Those three nations - the “blue” coalition of contemporary politics - comprise 29 percent of the national population, but just 0.6 percent of all Waffle Houses.
