Welcome to the Waffle House

- Founded in 1955, the first Waffle House was just a tiny rectangular box; it has since grown to a chain of 2,000 restaurants, mostly in the South, that serve up grits, hash browns, and of course waffles, all day and all night. Luke Burbank talks with the customers who come at all hours to sample the Waffle House's menu that Atlanta Magazine food critic Mara Shaloup calls "meats and starch and sugar and butter and grease and everything that's comforting and wonderful."

Julia was, by far my favorite. She had so much to offer Hells Kitchen. Very rare to see someone with class and integrity on a competition show. Hats off to you Julia. Oh yeah, you can definitely cook.
Julia from Hell's Kitchen season 3!!!! She finished in 4th place!!! Love her!!!!
I cant believe they didnt mention that!
I thought she looked familiar!
I was wondering...
I was wondering who was going to notice
maybe she owns this location?
You haven't lived, until you've partied all night and then had breakfast at Waffle House. There's no room for a hangover, after eating breakfast there.
Oh yeah!
In the 90s we would club hop in Mexico till 4am then have Street tacos before heading back home.
. Good times..
never been there before.heard of it last year some time.
@@b-genspinster7895 hey brad,some black woman with a yeast infection made your last order of cheezy grits! think about that sweetheart.
Now that's the TRUTH!! 😁
I worked as a network news cameraman covering Hurricane Hugo (for another network). Looking for stories in the storm's aftermath my correspondent and I came upon a Waffle House where its sign was blown over and it crashed through one end of the building. Part of the side of the building was missing and it's power was out, BUT IT WAS OPEN! The manager was making scrambled eggs using its gas-powered cooktop! We were so grateful because it was next to impossible to find something to eat in the storm's aftermath and we were desperate. Thank you Waffle House and thank you nameless manager for being such a trooper.
Don Smith “ desperate”. Really?
@@MrBluoct Really. You weren't there.
@@mrdonsmith I understand. Our local WH in SC was open after Hugo. No electricity, just the gas grill. We were thankful.
Wow
I've lived in Moncks Corner, SC for 10 yrs now. Numerous hurricanes, tropical storms, ice and snowmaggedon, and a thousand year flood..........never closed.

I have nothing but respect for restaurant workers. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. God bless!
You can see how she brought her Hell's Kitchen experience with her to the Waffle House in how she calls out the orders and controls the staff. I bet she puts out a great breakfast.

I've eaten at many Waffle House and the staff is always excellent.
Don't come to the one in downtown Athens on a sat night and you'll be able to keep that illusion alive
In the South, there are two things that make you a true southerner. Being at Krispy Kream at 6 A.M. when the Red Neon, "Fresh Hot" sign comes on.... and Going to a Waffle House at 4 A.M. after a night of partying.
Kreme. You must not go there.
@@lobitome It's called talk to text, if you have a problem with it take it up with Google, princess.
theylied1776 do they serve pancakes at Waffle House?
@@jasonle520 I'm going to file that under an IHOP kind of question.
@@jasonle520 But no, they do not serve pancakes at Waffle House.
I love, love, loooove Waffle House--but I'm shocked that Julia Williams never took up Chef Ramsay's offer of free culinary school so she could move on up. She was definitely a fan-favorite as the underdog in Hell's Kitchen (Season 3), so it's a little disappointing. Oh, well; I don't know her life, and I don't know what influences her decisions. I just hope she's happy and doing well!
Benedick Cumbersnatch ... yeah. I was a fan .. been a critic .. but do wish her well
If you have your own home to pay for, it's kind of hard to just stop working and go to school.
Gordon Ramsay said in an interview that she did attend culinary school, but there's word as to whether or not she finished. It may have been difficult for her to keep working full time and going to school too.
I think we shouldn't judge her. We don't know her life, her struggles and what life threw at her.
Also she's still in charge of a kitchen, making food (that I guess is high quality) and making people happy.
AND we shouldn't forget that Heather, another Hell's Kitchen contestant, worked at the LV restaurant for a year and then left. You know, people's dreams change, they take new roads.
@@oriana_fortunato No judgement on her. But you can be sure she's severely underpaid. Especially for who she is. But everyone there is underpaid
Calorically dense with meat, starch, sugar, and grease. Mmm
You got your 4 basic food groups right there.

I think that julia woman was in an episode of kitchen nightmares years back
Jack James She was on a season of Hell’s Kitchen.
@@wadeshive223 oh yeah! Thanks it was killin me i knew id seen her before
Jack James too bad she never progressed farther than Waffle House, but you have to be happy with your job!
@@nyracingfan well shes like the leader there i bet shes like a local star. Waffle house rules.
She was in 4th place and Gordon paid for her to go to culinary school but she wanted to stay there
Yes, Waffle House is open 24/7, but there's one more little fact that was not mentioned: they are open EVERY DAY of the year. They simply don't close, even on holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. I love them for this.
I spent Thanksgiving 2017 at Waffle House because I had to work the day before and after and was going through a divorce. Not a good time in my life.
For Thanksgiving . . . so they serve turkey waffles ?
No but I’m hoping they’ll add that to the hash browns and then you could ask for scattered, smothered, covered, chunked and gobbled.
Yup, unlike those Chik-Fil-A religious nutbags.
Todd Those Chick Fil A religious nutbags are awesome. They make great chicken, fantastic service and have high morals. Anytime the Cathy family say something against gay marriage or homosexuality, their business quadruples.
Even Anthony Bourdain approved of Waffle House. My favorite is the ham & cheese omelette (how they get it so fluffy is still a mystery), plain hash-browns, toast with strawberry jam and black coffee.
Waffle topped with an egg and lots of syrup. ;-)
It's only because we put the eggs in the blender before put them in a pan
Yeah. Waffle house is legit.
Burger all the way, bowl of chili with lots of onions, scattered hashbrowns. Yum!
The fema part had me laughing 😂
I’m a huge fan of Waffle House breakfasts, and it annoys me greatly that we don’t have any in Evansville, IN. The nearest one is almost a two hour drive. So I rarely get to indulge in my favorite morning feast, a western omelet plate with scattered, smothered, covered, chopped, and diced, and coffee...oh, that coffee! No one has better coffee! Although, that other southern classic, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, comes close.
Something this story neglects to mention is that Waffle House is also among the first to load up mobile kitchens and heard towards disasters when they strike as well.
It's a good-hearted company, a national treasure if you ask me.
I always go there when back in South Carolina. The best place to mingle with your neighbors, family or friends. This I think is the reason why the people are so friendly and down to earth in the south. I love you all!!!
They are consistent and good with reasonable prices.
I work third shift and many times it's the only place open. I love it and they know my order. I'll go there either before or after my shift.
Hash browns all the way with a side of grits, eggs, sausage cheese and butter with salt and pepper...
The Waffle Houde Has Found Its New Host
The worst part of living in Illinois....no Waffle Houses. Is it wrong to say they are the best restaurant in the world? God I love Waffle House!!!!
There's a "worst" in Illinois? How is that possible when it is all so bad. Oh wait, I'm thinking of Chicago, never mind lol.
That's the lady off of he'll kitchen
Yep.. I saw her on there...she can cook
@Schandoro07 your everywhere like whats your point go do your awesome job and keep the 2 cents your putting on her life
The Waffle House Has Found A New Host
Best Waffle House meal: double hash browns with tomatoes, onions, ham, and then gravy on the side! I can have that any time of the day, but I limit it to a few times a year!
Catherine NELSON how much do you weigh?
smothered , covered , chunked, diced, peppered, capped , and topped with chili and some coffee on the side. Good Parenting, musta been a good night.Drive carefully, Cheers!
The girl called out the order...she was on Hells Kitchen
My dad LOVED Waffle House!!!
R.I.P Dad...
Mine too.
Sorry for your loss.
My dad passed away last month.
He was a foodie all the way to the end.
Another great Atlanta-based restaurant chain is Chick-fil-A! Love both of them!
Ah yes, Chick-fil-A, aka the homophobic chicken shack.
I've passed the Waffle House in my city many times ,going to make a point of stopping by hungry next time I'm near it.
I wish Waffle House would come up to the north. I live in Peoria, IL and people here would love it!
There is one here in Collinsville, IL..at the intersection of I-55 and I-255. About the only one I know of in southern Illinois, though.
So your crime rates can go up
i Love Waffle House, the employees are always nice and the food is very consistent. I wish they would have stores in California.
Gary R both words are used interchangeably especially in franchises
i think we gotta drive to az for waffle house we have norms tho🤷♂️
Ditto to that!
The closest Waffle House locations to southern California are over in Phoenix, AZ. I always try to stop in for a good breakfast when visiting friends/family in Phoenix 😎
They have Norm’s in California!
Julia Williams was a contestant on Season 3 of Hell’s Kitchen with Gordon Ramsey.
She was one of my favorites on that season
I worked at one years and years ago. One night it was just me and the cook. I must have ticked him off because he walked out and never came back! Pretty scary as a 18 year old girl in a big city. I had some really sweet customers who stayed with me until someone else could get there. Also at the time, the only phone in the restaurant accessible to employees didn't dial out. I had to go out to the pay phone to call someone and leave all the customers alone in the store. Crazy night.
Back in the 90's, WH offered all you can eat. My friends and I must have eaten 20 plates of food. I thought I was going to die that night! I was the best deal ever!
When I was in the Navy stationed in Gulfport, Mississippi. I have found memories eating at a Waffle House. A lot of times 2 in the morning after leaving a bar.
I used to live in McDonough georgia and i used to live in Atlanta Georgia and when i was living in McDonough georgia they were 2 waffle houses on the same street about a mile apart on different sides of the street. And i think that is so funny to me. Take care everyone.
Leighanne Smith
I know exactly where you're talking about, I grew up in Henry County. lol
they got the same thing in Florida too
@@MrRonaldlee5467 i live in north lauderdale fla. And they have one in ft. Lauderdale fla.
I been to both of them...I couldn't believe they were that close to each other
@harvey carter i think it is so funny to me about the same store's and the same restaurants on the same street.
All of a sudden I'm having a craving for waffles, hash browns and pork chops. Thanks CBS.
Диктаторы приходят и уходят, а кушать хочется всегда. Открывайтесь у нас в Сибири. Заходите к нам ,хорошая готовка приветствуется. ! ! !
About one of the few things I miss being stationed in NC.
I can’t believe baby girl still working at Waffle House even tho Gordon Ramsey said she had the potential to be Extraordinary chief.
Atlanta, famous for the most boring Superbowl EVER!!!
Don't forget the Falcons loss!
db cooper Waaaaaaaaaaah!!!
One of my fav restaurants!! I miss it sooo much now that I’ve moved to California.
Me neither. I tried being a waitress at a restaurant and quit the 2nd day!!
I'm going to get one of those brown Waffle House baseball caps. They should sell more merchandise.
They do online
Come to Waffle House between 1am - 4am & get to watch a free "boxing exhibition" with your meal🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
One good one he wont wake up to see tomorrow 👊🏽-x
Not one second of this video has ANYTHING we ALL don't already know.
Say it with me now everyone.
The waffl-
JULIA WILLIAMS! Chef Ramsay said he will pay for your culinary school and give you a job. Waffle House is a lovely nostalgia but reach for the stars, girl! ❤️
Some of the best breakfast I had.
Julia!!!!! She was my favorite on hells kitchen
Waffle House does not use butter, only margarine. Out of the hand full of times we went three of them involved police being called because of criminal activity. It was never late at night either.
I'm from NY. Going down South, there's one thing on my mind. Going to a Waffle house
Chick-fil-A is another Atlanta based chain. Opened up just after the war.
@John Whirling ningen wut chick fil a is good
The company Chick-fil-A started selling their chicken biscuits out of a Waffle House in Atlanta
The war of what exactly? lol
@@2332Stephen The war, 1946.
@@melterrell5724 Truett Cathy "allowed" Waffle House to sell his sandwich in their restaurants, but WH backed out on the deal because of it's popularity - customers weren't ordering WH's food anymore.

Cheesy grits! My Waffle House experience was typically 3 o'clock in the morning with friends after a night on the town. Best breakfast in the world.
So we’re just going to ignore the fact that he had a spatula in the restroom
Really nothing southern about Waffle House except grits. I’ve ate at Waffle House in Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico and Alabama. They are all the same. Some are hit and miss. But they have some good food!
Thank you
The Waffle House has found its new host
I live in WA. . .but want to try a good location. Where should I fly to?
God I wish there was a Waffle House in NYC!
God I wish there was a White Castle in Baltimore!
No you don't.
I wish there were White Castles in the south. But we only have Krystal's.
Anthony Bourdain said Waffle House is better than the famous French Laundry.
That says a lot coming from a guy that has traveled the world eating
everything under the Sun.
1:17 that's Julia from Season 3 of Hell's Kitchen
Scattered, smothered, chopped, and diced
Don’t say Tom Brady at a Waffle House 😂
So sad to see Julia is still there
I live in Indiana, right next to the Ohio border on Interstate 70, and there is a Waffle House about 20 minutes from my town across the border in Ohio. We will make the drive for no other reason than to eat at Waffle House. It is really nice to know there are some things you can depend on, and we want to support that spirit and positive attitude whenever we can.
Last one I was at there was a fly floating in my coffee and they sat us right by the dishwashing station. So my "breakfast" got covered in soapy dishwater. Thanks.
Spare ribs , waffles , hash browns . Ate in Atlanta, St Louis, North and South Carolina.
@cbssundaymorning How did y’all not mention Julia as being a contestant on Hell’s Kitchen season 3. (She was eliminated episode 8)
"Omg! Everyone stop ordering food." 😂
He took a spatula into the bathroom...🤢🤮
@BeWare Wolf 😂
OMG! If y'all think that's bad, check out "Waffle House employees caught styling hair in kitchen while preparing food". You'll probably never eat at a WH again! 😲😜
😂😂😂 Oh oh!!!
Used to work for waffles house in Augusta Georgia bel air and love there steak
3:07 Must...appear...on...TV
They have these all over North Carolina,we used to call them the AWFUL HOUSE!!!! LOL
Is this the same Luke Burbank that was on Seattle talk radio back in the day ??
no
Waffle House fights are now road house fights
No one goes to waffle house for food. It's the late night fights! The fights!
I go for food.
One is in Goodyear Arizona
Julia!!! She was on Hell's kitchen, they need to do a "where are they now"!!
If I lived close to there I'd be there at least once a week!!!
what a great story about a great place!
Great place to go. for real food. Looking for low cal, go somewhere else. This is real food that Southerners love.
If you've never been to Waffle House at 2 in the morning with your buddies, you aren't really living your best life.
"the eyes of the world are on Atlanta today" yeah nobody except Americans care about American football
Welcome to Waffles House Can I get 20 sausage biscuits
Little known fact: the waffle mix is made by Guenther Flour Mills, right here in San Antonio.
San Antonio has NO Waffle House restaurants. Nearest one is up in Austin. :-(
I'm from NY State and I love Waffle House! I ate at them all the time when I was an OTR truck driver. Love em.
Southern waffles? hmm
Do fights break out at the museum after midnight too?
From TN thank you I had to go after I saw this I wasn't gonna go.
Waffle house is my family's go to place. We would always eat at the one in Roanoake Rapids,NC. Which was on the way to see our daughter at Chowan University. There were 2 restaurants 2 blocks from each other! Best southern breakfast ever!
All this for some waffles.
I HATE it when reporters inject themselves into stories.
CBS have you no shame presenting a 4 minute Waffle House ad as if it was news? Why not a 4 minute Burger King or McDonald's 'news' story explaining how good those burgers are?
it's Americana you dipshit
those hash browns!
yes im waffle house people loaded hash browns forever
