"As far as walk-in spots go, there's nothing more dependable than this Atlanta-born institution. And that’s a big reason why Waffle House is for everyone—kids, families, students stressed during midterms, after-hours hoppers, and everyone in between. Syrupy, buttery waffles are perfect for nursing a hangover. Crispy hash browns should be ordered “scattered, smothered, and covered. And when your kid's 0-13 little league team needs a pick-me-up, order the All-Star Special all around. Whatever your Waffle House jones (and whenever it hits), you'll find one on practically every corner. No reservations needed—except for maybe Valentine’s Day when a few locations are reservations-only." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
