Dear Waffle House: Please serve my boyfriend crap, too.

Posted Tue April 13, 2010 2:15 am, by Rebecca B. written to Waffle House

Write a Letter to this Company


Please serve my boyfriend the same crappy food you serve me.

Long ago, I stopped going to Waffle House willingly. It has been over 5 years since I uttered the words "Let's go to Waffle House". Many slimy eggs, cold hashbrowns, and burnt pieces of toast have been placed in front of me, and I can certainly take a hint.

Unfortunately, I am not always alone in making the decision about where to eat. Once every 6 months or so, I end up going into your establishment to appease someone I care about.

This was the case not long ago when the boyfriend wanted to go to your location in Brandon. I agreed, and since he knows my history I made it clear it was sort of your "last chance".

I tried to make it easy for you. I ordered a diet coke and a grilled cheese sandwich, figuring you couldn't possibly mess that up.
It didn't look so bad when I picked it up, but you'd burned the bottom side so badly it was inedible. I imagine the cook had to know they'd destroyed my food, and can't fathom why it was sent out except that it's Waffle House and you have standards to uphold.

My attempts to flag the waitress down were ignored, and the sandwich sat, uneaten and with the burned side up. The waitress eventually ran by, dropping the bill on the table as she did so. When we checked out, I told the clerk about the burned sandwich, and there was no reaction.

Now, I'd be happy just to stay away. Unfortunately, last week the boyfriend and I butted heads because he was talking about going back. I eventually convinced him to go to Cracker Barrel, where I enjoyed a tasty breakfast. The subject will come up again, however, and I am getting anxious that he will take me to your restaurant when I am actually hungry and I will be miserable and either nauseated or starving when I leave.

So, I humbly beg of you, please serve the same slop to my boyfriend you serve me. This way, we won't have to have the "Why don't you like Waffle House" argument anymore.

Aw, come on. You expect us to believe you went to a Waffle House, and
actually got served? And they had bread, cheese, AND Diet Coke, ALL
AT THE SAME TIME? And they served the sandwich burnt side up? You
MUST have caught them on a good day.

love your letter...

Potential solution is that you should order FOR your boyfriend and
then maybe he'd get the crappy meal... finally!

And I can't believe you paid for an uneaten burned grilled cheese.
You're a better sport than I.

"Waiter, I'd like two eggs. One slimy, one almost like a hockey puck.
Two slices of toast. One burnt to a crisp on both sides, one barely
warm. Two slices of bacon. One perfectly cooked and one almost
pink."

"I'm sorry sir, we can't serve this to you. Health codes prevent
it."

"But that's how you served it to me yesterday."

I'll admit that this is not a direct quote of the joke, but you get
the point.

I think OP made a good effort to find a way to enjoy a meal with her
friend. At first I'd thought, "Get a waffle, for Pete's sake." But
then I realized that there are some points in my day where syrup would
definitely not do anything great for my blood sugar.

I think OP made a valiant attempt. Waffle House let her down.

Hmmmmmmmm.........you were served slimey food cold and unediable and
burned foods, yet you kept going back. I have a couple of suggestions
for you #1: learn to cook, and suprise these people a nice home cooked
meal. This way a)you know what goes in to the food, and you know what
it will taste like. 2) You suggest or suprise these people you are
taking out to the restaurant of your choise that you know is much more
suitable for ALL to enjoy, and if they suggest going to the Waffle
House, then make up and excuse that you can not go.

I kind of have the same issue with my husband and Burger King. He
loves BK and it seems every time we go there something is wrong with
my food (stale bun, cold fries, etc) and his is fine. I relent once
in a while and go there but I do sometimes wish he would have some of
the same issues I do just so he would understand why I don't want to
go there.

It really is strange because it happens at different BK's. Just once,
I'd like for him to have an issue with his food at BK.

What really fries my butt, besides a candle 3 feet high, is if he was
the person that had always had the issues, we would not be going to
that place. The things we women do to appease our men!

i have to say though, this is one of the more creative letters i've
read here!

I finally think I nailed it., thanks for the suggestion by RebeccaBee Thu April 15, 2010 @ 3:09 AM

I agree that your boyfriend sounds a little jerky in your letter. You
have every right to dislike a restuarant and not eat there without
having to explain over and over why.

So, maybe suggest that he go the Waffle House on occasions when you
aren't with him.

Compromise by RedheadwGlasses Tue April 13, 2010 @ 7:27 PM


Comprimise is a two way street... by Chris M Fri April 16, 2010 @ 12:15 PM


No, OP never said that she lets her boyfriend pick the place only once every six months by olie Tue April 13, 2010 @ 9:55 PM


There are different types of compromises though. by Just Simply Bella Sera Wed April 14, 2010 @ 8:40 AM

by Lisa H. Posted Wed April 14, 2010 @ 2:42 PM

My husband and I compromise as well, but not by one of us taking the
other to a place we know they hate. Too many resturants out there.
We let each other pick a favorite to go to at times, but I can't
imagine picking a place I know hubby hates. I can go there with
someone else at another time.

To me, that's the issue. Not that he can't pick, but that he's
picking a place she has such strong feelings about, based on something
valid like the food.

Wow! by Batman Mon April 19, 2010 @ 2:40 PM

Dump the boyfriend or tell him no, you wont go there anymore.

Make it the ultimatium.

No boyfriend/girlfriend is worth crappy food.



Good Day

"The compromise would be, if you like it go by youself." by Donno Tue April 13, 2010 @ 9:02 PM


I'm with RR by RedheadwGlasses Tue April 13, 2010 @ 1:27 PM

of Waffle House, but everyone is different. Maybe it is my first
memory of being in one down in Georgia. Grits everywhere, and the
customers looked like a Who's Who of truck drivers from the 70's.

You can get crappy food at Cracker Barrel as well, which I know by
firsthand experience. I stopped going there years ago. But it may be
more reliable than WH.

The Lure: They're open 24 hrs and right off the interstate. by RebeccaBee Tue April 13, 2010 @ 8:04 PM

by NathanG Posted Tue April 13, 2010 @ 7:58 AM

Praying for bad food and service, thats new.

Maybe your BF likes the food thats why he keeps asking to go back. Im
sure there are alot of people who do like it otherwise they wouldnt
have tons of locations, and even a waffle house credit card.

If your sandwich was burned why didnt you demand a new one? Or to get
comped for it. Placing it burned side up and just hoping the waitress
saw it doesnt really constitute requesting something be done.
