If you don't, then you probably haven't been or lived in the South. Here, in the southern part of the United States, the Waffle House is about at every single exit off the freeway. Especially in Louisiana. On our way to New Orleans a few months ago the Waffle House sign was posted at every exit. In Houston it's not as prevalent, but everyone still knows the name.
We decided we had to try it. Once back in New Orleans, and once again here in Houston. Sadly, it did disappoint. Both times too. The place was empty, had tiny portion sizes for what you paid for, and the worst part was that it was extremely dirty. I was terrified putting Arrow into the highchair that they provided and ended up holding him the whole time after seeing the brown gunk that came off the high chair when I wiped it down.
We went initially because we got a coupon for a free waffle. The waffles are flat, but extremely tasty. I can see why they call it a waffle house, because the best thing on their menu are their waffles. Dan didn't mind eating the other things there, but I was too scared to get anything else.
I feel bad for these guys. I bet it used to be a wonderful place, with large fluffy waffles and happy employees. But somewhere, at sometime, it went downhill. Needless to say, we will most likely not be going back for a third time. Here's some pictures of our experience:

P.s. Ask us about our "smothered hash-browns." Such a funny story!
