I love Waffle House. This Particular Waffle House was chosen as the the dirtiest one in the country. But they have other problems to deal with at the 161 waffle house such as drug busts and criminals coming through looking for refuge. When I learned this information I decided to stop going to this Waffle House lucky around the time I made this decision there was a new one built at Polaris.
Waffle House doesn't just represent food for me it represents a whole meal, breakfast. whenever my friends and I have an unexpected day off we gather for a late breakfast at Waffle House. When my family needs to pick up breakfast on the road, we stop at Waffle House. A good greasy home-style breakfast is my gift to my self for getting started each day on a yogurt or a bagel as I do most days of the week. The small diner setting makes you feel like it was built just for you and your buds. It's where my friends go when we want breakfast for dinner. Even though me and my friends have only been around since the late 80's at most we're very aware that the restaurant's decor is straight out of the 70's and that makes it feel like its been around forever. From the brown, cracking, fake leather seats to the globular lights hanging from the ceiling walking into a Waffle House is taking a step back in time. The dirty floor and sticky tables and place mats add to a grungy air the place has. "it makes you feel like you might catch something if we stay here too long" observed one of my friends, but none the less we're drawn in for the grits bacon toast sausage and of course the waffles. Once you bite into the food you forget about the tacky framed newspapers on the walls and the lame reoccurring yellow and black theme, and the WH has regained its luster from when it was first opened.
WH always has this strange way of making you feel so much hungrier than you actually are. Consequently you order way more food than you can eat, but its all good because it was cheap anyways. But as you near the end of your food journey and your eyes glaze over and the yellow tint of the room begins to claim your consciousness you realize that you've never been so happy or so stuffed in your life. WH is a place that has offered my family, friends and I some of the old fashioned things that make you feel good. This comfort food as they call it, is a wonderful conversation setting or a nice refuge from everyday stress. However, all of the people who engage in Waffle House understand the risks involved and these acts should not be recreated by anyone who has a weak or small stomach.

I had no idea anyone could love waffle house so much. The new one they built at polaris is a nice one though, I live in lewis center so it just down the road from me. I have to agree waffle house has the best breakfast food in Columbus, mcdonalds is okay but it gets old, waffle house on the other hand never gets old.
