Great prices! Good ol' country breakfast!
WAY better than Waffle House. Â Our waitress was such a sweetheart. Â The service was great, my coffee cup was never empty and the coffee was fresh not burnt. She was very friendly and very quick with our orders.
$5 will get you a HUGE breakfast here. Â I was a huge fan of the eggs and country ham. Â Why would you NOT get country ham when you are in the stix of Virginia?????? Â Well, maybe if you were a vegetarian....
Anyways, this is a very homey country diner with home cooking. Â That means it has grease! It's not trendy or glamorous, or even healthy. Go back to the city if you want pristine and clean, a little grease won't kill you out here.
Waffle Inn, a knock off of Waffle House? Oh, yes. If the name wasn't an obvious indication of that, the jukebox, restaurant layout, and menu certainly will. The one thing it doesn't mimic though, is the food. Really, it  just isn't so good. W.H. definitely has something on this place. It's exactly what you would expect when you envision diner food - boring, greasy, perhaps microwaved more than once.
I had the veggie plate including: mac & cheese, macaroni salad, Texas toast, and mashed potatoes with this very interesting gravy. I say "interesting" because when that plate of mashed potatoes was placed in front of me the first thing that came to mind was "plastic toy food!" You know, the kind you can get at a toy store or see some places display.
The made from a box mashed potatoes and gravy were okay, mac & cheese was slacking on the cheese and tasted microwaved, and the mac. salad was hopeless - much salt was dumped on it. Oh, and the Texas Toast wasn't really Texas Toast, it was just regular toast.
It was late, we needed food, Subway next door was closed, and I suppose we were feeling curious about this Waffle House wannabe. What is it they say... "Curiosity killed the cat." Never again.
