Thanks for dropping by with your throwback review! The grease "con" made us smile. It's definitely part of the charm (and the flavor!) at Waffle House, though we get that it’s not everyone’s favorite part of the job. We wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Thank you for your review and your dedication for the past 9 years! We understand that working every major holiday can be a tough part of the role. Our doors stay open 24/7 because so many Customers count on us, especially during the holidays, but we know it requires sacrifice from our team. Your feedback is a valuable reminder of the importance of continuing to look for ways to support and recognize our leaders who make that possible. Thanks again for all that you do. It’s Associates like you who help drive our restaurants forward, and your commitment over the years is truly appreciated!
