IHOP vs Denny's vs Waffle House

[brainhulk]

Who has the best late night fight videos on YouTube?

JK

Which do you prefer for breakfast food

I actually prefer this mom and pop spot near me. Great pancakes and coffee

IHOP but I can just about hit the waffle house with a rock from my house.

Searched on artisanal pancakes, was not disappointed.

Standout items include revamped classics such as silver dollar pancakes. Here, they’re topped with seared Sonoma foie gras in a sweet-but-tart three-grape gastrique sauce.

Waffle House at 3:00am back when you could still smoke in them was a true American experience. Overnight truckers, cracked out strippers, meth heads, drunk bikers and 20 year old idiots gawking at the scene, it was great.

always a fan of waffle house.

and where is the poll??

 

[IronWing]

I would have given Denny's the nod but my last experience was so bad (tiny portions) I'm going with iHop.

I prefer local places but between those - Waffle House.

Growing up, Waffle House was a southern thing, always made me nervous. I felt like someone would try to set me on fire or try to convert me to be a Baptist, or both. I guess both would be more of a Catholic thing, but anyway, I think as a result of my childhood biases, I've only eaten at Waffle House once or twice. The thing I did appreciate about Waffle House was that the pics on the menu look exactly like what you get. None of the dress-it-up-for-the-pic crap. The menu picture of the toast showed a crumby piece of bread soaked with yellow grease, just like the slice on your plate.

Of the three, Waffle House but it's probably been about 10 years or more since I ate at one.

There are no Waffle Houses eastward of Allentown, PA. Can't vote. But IHOP is better than Denny's.

Never been to a Waffle House, Denny's has sucked since forever, and IHOP isn't great...but is USUALLY a bit better than Denny's. There used to be a chain called Perkins...not sure if they're still around in parts of the country. IMO, they.were the best of their type...but, of course, that can change with location. Looks like they're still in business, just not in some of the places where I remember them being.

Waffle house is magnificent.
We don't have them around here, but any road trips to the south, we stop at least once or twice.

Food is cheaper than Ihop and Dennys, and tastier, and better coffee!

Perkins is still around, in limited quantities, at least in Wisconsin, but we don't see too many of em any more. I think maybe we pass 2 or 3 on the trip from Illinois to Sturgeon Bay. Perkins has great pies and other bakery stuff, and IMO they are indeed better than Dennys and Ihop.

Cracker Barrel has better pancakes.

Among those 3, Waffle House, no contest.

Pecan waffle slather in butter and syrup, browns smothered/diced/chopped/crying. My gaw.

 

[bigboxes]

None of the above. I make my own breakfast. About once a week I make a big breakfast. I use real ingredients, nothing artificial and butter and real maple syrup from the Northeast.

 

[Excelsior]

Waffle House.

If I just want a good breakfast from a chain during normal hours, The Original House of Pancakes.

 

[Craig234]

Waffle House hash browns are great.

Otherwise, IHOP is ok.

Imagine what Sambos's would be like now.

That's a reference I don't hear much. I wonder how many know them? I remember them.

 

[Herr Kutz]

Waffle House, because waffles.

Yes, I remember going to Sambo's in the late 70's.
