Waffle House

The day after Christmas found DLS on a day trip to Gettysburg.  After getting our fill of battlefields and history, we jumped back on the road to head home.  Yes, I’d made him go to Cracker Barrel – his first time! – on our way there, though I didn’t take photos.  On our way back, we just had to stop at Waffle House… because that’s how I roll

Someone asked me last time about the tomatoes – so here’s a shot of the relevant portion of the menu. 

DLS went with pork chops smothered in country gravy, Texas toast, and hash browns.  He really enjoyed this – and I tried a bite of his pork chop, and it was rather tasty – juicy and properly cooked. 

I decided to go big or go home and ordered the triple of hash browns, smothered, covered, diced, capped, and country.  The gravy was missing, so a whole bowl was brought to me when I asked about it.  On the side is my very sad looking $1 hamburger that I just had to order to find out what a $1 burger looked like here. 

Oh, right, DLS also got a salad with his pork chops.  Ummm… it was bagged salad. 

I wanted sausage for my hash browns, so I added on an order. 

This is a close up of my burger.  With a sausage patty on top of it for size comparison.  The burger was terrible – completely overcooked, shrunken, and just awful.  Strangely, someone came in later and ordered the burger to go – that was it.  It wasn’t a homeless person, just a regular guy – do people actually like these types of burgers?!  Blegh. 

And my plate, at the end, with me clutching my belly moaning “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!”  Okay, I didn’t, there’s still some potato there… but eesh.  I may have shocked DLS…

Yvo says: Once again, a completely satisfying meal at Waffle House for super cheap (though I don’t remember the final total).  Perfect road trip stop! 
it is what it is: cheap road trip pit stop food!
