Waffle House
Lancaster, PA
I've heard people rave about Waffle House for years, but I've never had the opportunity to eat at one before yesterday. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what the hype is about. I wouldn't go so far as to call it disgusting, but it ranks somewhere between hospital food and the flavorless, pre-packaged sandwiches that you get from a vending machine at a rest stop.
The hash browns were especially disappointing - kind of like burnt, shredded cardboard. I would have traded them for a McDonalds hash brown without a second thought. They looked good on the menu though when I saw them. You could even get them covered with cheese for 50 cents extra. See for yourself.
