[font=century gothic]This is something that amazes me when an establishment gets wrong.

Krispy Kreme wanted to go after that high-end coffee money. People that stop in to spend $10 on the way to work. Hired a guy from the Green Mermaid. Made blends featuring beans from 3 different continents.

Voila. It’s bitter. That’s how you know we fancy, coffee’s bitter. The only compliment I will give that national donut :suspicious: shop, they have a good baseline cup.[/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I grew up on Shoney’s. The family never went so I have no real positive connections with Waffle House, and, in fact, most of my visits were with people I really don’t like. Like “coworker you wanna throttle every time they open their mouth” type. So I do appreciate their speed and accuracy. Never had a slow or bad meal, but it was always transactional.

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]There was a Shoney’s in Winston during the 80’s and 90’s and then it was gone. It was fine. You won’t hear me dragging that name through the gutter.

There’s just something to be said about going to a Waffle House and knowing it may get referenced in your obituary.[/font][/quote]

lol. That too.

We got a Shoney's, but I'm convinced it's a cash laundering front for something. There is never more than three cars there. Ever. I've not seen another anywhere.[/quote]Give it another go. You’ll be surprised. If there’s one open near you then that one is obviously doing something right. They used to be ALL over the place. I think we had 3 at one time. Now the only one we have has been closed all year due, so I just hope to god we don’t lose that one too.[/quote]
