Waffle House

My wife and I needed a break from the road and were hungry. The restaurant looked new but empty. We suspected they might be closed, as it was Easter Day but were greeted inside by friendly staff. I had minimal expectations but they were quickly exceeded. The waitress was friendly and competent. The coffee was tasty and at the perfect temperature, my soft scrambled eggs just as I like them, and the hash browns perfect. It became appparent as other customers came in that this was a meeting place for locals. Some of the conversations were fascinating,  but you had to understand southern dialect. The cameraderie between the staff and customers was warming. Grouchiness and fatigue among staff and mediocre food have been my previous Waffle House experience; I shall return here to see if I can repeat this occasion's experience.
