          We upgraded to an electric squarv recently. Those gas squarfs are just too expensive for city driving!

            Yeah, but I live in the Chicago area, and with all the trouble some folks have had here with their electric squarves in this bitter cold, they’re thinking about switching back to gas squarfs.

          You can get it,.02 cents cheaper at the Spuarf’n’Go, but that’s over county lines and they can’t sell liquor after 5, so, what’s the point?

        The building is definitely an old Pizza Hut.

          The building is definitely an old Pizza Hut.

          Pizza huts in the ecology of chain restaurants, are equivalent to whatever provides hermit crabs their shells.

          Its gotta be a land development company under the guise of a pizza place, because there are no fewer than 6 old pizza hut building in my community, that are very clearly but no longer Pizza Huts. In-fact, Pizza Hut just, sold their old building, and guess what. We’re getting a new pizza hut.

          If so it was before Aug. 2007, which is as far back as Google Maps goes.

        Waffle Square is known around the world in both Thailand and India

      They seem to have gone from Square => Squarf and then remodeled.

      They did not embrace the Squarf.

          Yeah, this is from the Google Maps business page from last year. The E turned to F around 2020 based on other photos. I guess they remodeled the whole thing instead just fixing it.

            The first photo on Google Maps where the E looks damaged is in Apr. 2019. Then it just kept getting worse.

    There’s one state, I believe Indiana, where the big chain Waffle House operates under the name Waffle Shoppe. This is because there was already a preexisting mom and pop Waffle House in the area.

    Correction: it’s “Waffle and Steak,” and they stopped doing that in 2005.

      Yep. I’m from Indiana (I live here again) and we used to go to the Indiana version of the Waffle House and play Risk all night because we were wild and crazy teenagers. It was like Denny’s but scuzzier.

        ‘Denny’s but scuzzier’ describes Waffle House perfectly

            It’s gone now and these photos don’t do the scuzziness justice, but-

            This was the building. It was so shitty, they razed it to the ground when the place closed.

            Here’s a picture of the inside which doesn’t show the lack of cleanliness very well.

            Also, like every town weirdo ate there for some reason. Which made it good for people watching.

            There was a claw machine at the entrance. I kicked ass at that claw machine. I won like 10 stuffed animals to give to my dog to tear into pieces.

            EDIT: Also, the fry cook had a Frankenstien’s Monster head. Like he looked like Boris Karloff in the monster make-up except without the bolts. So fucking weird.

              Lol I enjoyed this exposé into your local greasy spoon. Here’s to scuzzy diners!
