Waffle House

Along major highways in the South (mostly)

It is the quintessential American mixture of food, commerce and driving. It seems joyously stuck in a mid-20th Century frame of mind. Many have imitated it without success (yes, I'm talking to you, Cracker Barrel and IHOP.)McDonald's (and it's ilk) falls into a different category because it grew into a national chain, but Waffle House stayed true to it truck driving catering roots. There is a genuine friendliness which is classically American in how you are serviced in a Waffle House.
