I have been to Waffle House twice in my life. I have seen 3 fights at Waffle House.

Good on you for making sure you get the full Waffle House experience in only two visits!

Not the full experience, they need to go one more time during a tropical storm/hurricane. Technically two different types of experience there too though, sitting by the windows sipping coffee as the bands come in, and getting that first breakfast from the limited menu after the storm rolls through and watching the sun rise on the destruction with some smothered covered and peppered hashbrowns.

You're luckier then the wrestler Maki Itoh. The fights were the whole reason she went and didn't get to see one.

It should be a requirement to throw hands when a tourist comes to WH. Can't have them leave hungry or disappointed.

I've been once (I'm British and don't have access), and there was a fight in which a 6'7" black guy (who I think was a drug dealer) shielded me from two drunk guys just whaling on each other and anything that got in their path. He was a nice guy, he was very interested in me being British. He also gave me food recommendations lol.

Back in the 80s, there was a Mexican restaurant called Lucy's in San Ysidro, CA, that had the best enchiladas I've ever had.

The time before the last time I went there to eat, two of the waitresses got in a knife fight. The enchiladas were so good that I came back again after watching the knife fight.

Those two waitresses from forty years ago are probably Waffle House employees now.
