    i do know that when they go back that way to visit , their stay isn't complete without eating at one.

    No, they're really kind of unique. They are small diners, with a counter and a few booths (and a jukebox). Waffles are their specialty, but they also serve sandwiches, steaks, etc. They're open 24 hours a day, so they tend to get a pretty large drunk's rush at around 2am.

    One thing they're famous for is their hash browns with extras. You can get everything from onions to tomatoes to chili cooked with your hash browns - yummy!!!

    You forgot to mention the extra grease. I like the Waffle House, but it's one of the few places where I can't eat their eggs.

    Maybe it's just the one off the I95 stop in Elkton, MD, but when I was done my meal, my plate was glistening and it wasn't because I licked it clean, lol. It might be because I'm pickier than most ;-)

    IHOP and Friendly's around here has good eggs.

    The Original Pancake House is *amazing*! And there is one within easy driving distance of Disneyland!

    Can we work it out to where there are Waffle Houses and In-N-Outs in the same geographic area?
