Waffle House was the place one could find guys like me who had sneaked out of the house at 1:00 am, in High School.
The Waffle House was/is pretty good, and used to be cheap. They are open all night in places and I stopped in a few times traveling. last time was from Texas to a stop in Oklahoma, some years back.
What were you doing sneaking out at 1AM? Anything to do at that time, besides eat waffles and drink coffee?
I guess you could always head down to the town square and get a bottle of pop?
Denny's is bit different than what most call fast food; that was were I would usually stop late at night, or making an early start. Waddle House has such bright lights.
