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!

Large, smothered, covered, diced, and peppered! *drool*

I think I’m no longer going to add the American cheese because it doesn’t do anything for it. Plus I get gravy. 😉 Hahaha!

I initially thought that burger was actually a picture of the sausage patty. Indeed, very sad looking.

When I read this, at first, I was confused looking for the “tomatoes” when you posted a pic’ of the hashbrown page. Funny typo.
Never been to a Waffle House. They all look really filthy around here.
Feisty Foodie says
Not sure what typo you mean?

Dollar burger? Man, it makes McDonald’s hamburger look like a happier meal. Maybe a scoop of the hash browns stuffed into it or the country gravy to save it from its misery.
Still have not been and I’d still like to go.
Feisty Foodie says
Will definitely go soon 🙂
