Featuring a menu replete with breakfast classics like omelets, hash browns, and waffles (of course), it’s not hard to see why Waffle House has so many fans. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this chain welcomes guests to breakfast at any time, making it perfect for night owls and people who work odd hours. The atmosphere at the chain is also notable; as one commenter put it, “Good grub, great service and there’s usually a bit of drama playing out at 3 AM.” After all, who could forget the infamous chair block performed by a lightning-fast Waffle House employee during an all-out brawl a few years back (as reported by Fox 11 Los Angeles)?
As for the Facebook poll, one respondent specifically cited the chain’s hash browns as being beyond reproach. While the crispy potatoes can be enjoyed on the side of any dish, they also serve as the basis for hash brown bowls, which feature additions like sausage, bacon, cheese, and eggs for a filling meal. While Waffle House handily defeated IHOP, some feel that the latter chain is no slouch as far as breakfast is concerned.
