Yesterday in Ocala passed a new slider fast food. The building is made from a shipping container

But there were a lot of cars in their parking lot

Did I hear another WH is being built in Deaton Plaza? Where the new Hooters is going in? There IS a second building under construction there. WH size.

Not really applicable when driving to Costco is a shorter trip. Now if you were driving to Bonefish for Friday, maybe.

Last time I was up that way was December for yearly appointment. Took me a minute to figure out what business in such a Tiny building with maybe 15 parking spaces, could be.

My family lives in KY. Growing up WH was a truck stop or 3am after bar experience, for us.

WaWa’s is around the corner, I will be getting a Vanilla Carmel latte, with grilled chabbata with egg cheese and veggies.

We are fans of Waffle House and ate there when we lived in Ga. We currently live in the Spanish Springs area so it is close to us. We were thrilled to find out that a Waffle House was opening near us. We have already been twice.

As far as the hours——They have had employees from other stores working to help the new employees and the District Manager has been present and overseeing operations. We had an opportunity to chat with him on our first visit (which was on the second day it was open). We asked about the hours of 7am to 2pm. He told us that they slow open each shift and would be adding more shifts and eventually be open 24/7. We went to eat there yesterday morning around 9:15 and it was crowded with a wait but we were still seated within 15 minutes. The current hours have it closing at 9pm. I would imagine it will be open 24/7 by sometime next week.

What is the “wow factor” about WH? Finally visited the one near me here in Wildwood on I-75. Greasy spoon. Would only be my last resort if I was traveling and it was the only place around for miles for breakfast.

Years ago we would stop overnight when traveling to Florida and go to a Waffle house for breakfast. Now that most hotels and motels offer free breakfast very rare to go to one.

Yep, went there Sunday & wasn't very impressed. Much of the staff is pretty obviously young & inexperienced but they got 3/3 food prep orders wrong. The prices were only okay - especially with the $.50/egg surcharge - and the food was about average.

The place is pretty small but there was plenty of parking. For some reason though, they put the golf cart parking spaces in the furthest part of the parking lot. We're not in any hurry to go back.

That is fairly constant anywhere anymore.

Let me guess. Mrmean58 comes from Mister Mean, born in 1958.

Went last week at about 4:30pm. The one pleasant surprise was that I didn't need to put on my parka! I was prepared, cuz we all know how WH is, but it wasn't that cold!
Food was good, restaurant was spotless. They are really training these new hires well!

Is this what is known as an "Old People" candy store?

No, my children when they were in high school would go there after a sporting event.

Now open till 9. Gradually adding hours while increasing shifts.
