Brits Try Waffle House For The First Time | REACTION

[@DiamondRioFan1]

I've been working 3rd shift at Waffle House for 23 years now. Trust me, ain't much I haven't seen. Fights, robberies, male and female body parts, kangaroos, missed a mass shooting by 2 miles.

[@AylaRose]

Well...I bet that kangaroo story is pretty epic 😂

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Kangaroo!!!!?? What the literal hell...lol 🤣😆

[@franciet99]

Lordy!!! Bless you!

[@genghis1971]

You can't just drop kangaroo in there like it's to be expected.

[@DiamondRioFan1]

Some drunk (naturally) 30-something year old man came in to our store with a 2 foot tall kangaroo. To this day I still have no clue what he was trying to say to me. I don't know if he was wanting to feed it, sell it or what. The way he was slurring his words made him too hard to understand.

[@kubwell3856]

A genuine Waffle House experience. They even brought their own drunk, I love it!!😅

[@sallyphillips9175]

Waffle House isn't just in ATL. It's ALL OVER the South. I'm a GA native, and they're about as ubiquitous as Starbucks in California.

[@frederickvondinkerberg7721]

it's also crap... would rather eat 15 day old sushi off of a gas station toilet seat... bloody awful food

[@sallyphillips9175]

@@frederickvondinkerberg7721 I haven't been there in decades, but from what i remember it was fine ... but that was then.

[@ragtie6177]

The waffle house in Little Washington, Pennsylvania (Southwestern corner next to West Virginia state line) is no where near as good as the one shown here. Everything appears to be pre-cooked then warmed. Nothing like the ones I've eaten at in the south. Then again, the Taco Bell in town is nothing like the ones in California either. Night and day. Horrible.

[@tjmctube]

Jolly is such a breath of fresh air from the polluted social media.

[@hungry247]

Man, in the South, we have as many Waffle Houses as we do Starbucks!

[@edittheworld-ct5yu]

We do have Waffle House in PA just not enough.

[@HBC423]

We have more… here in Chattanooga TN there is a Waffle House you can sit in and see another one down the street

[@severinlourenco8355]

Don't worry, everything that you ate at the Wafle House, will be out of your system soon enough. Lol 😆

[@SweetThing]

Exactly! They drench everything in grease!!

[@chloequinn2274]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jlcutright0723]

Growing up, this spread was weeknight dinner as often as weekend breakfast! Only thing missing is plate of "little bacon" (fried salt pork) and another of fried mush!

[@mil2k11]

I love apple butter. I used to buy it from small shops up in Vermont and bring it back to Philly. Two pieces of toast - butter up one side and apple butter the other once out of the toaster. Legendary!

[@LaptopLarry330]

The Save-A-Lot Food Stores chain, which is based in St. Ann, Missouri (near St. Louis), has jars of apple butter available for sale.

[@ragtie6177]

You left out 10 tweekers all counting pennys to get 1 waffle, saturated in syrup, topped with powdered sugar...and a small black coffee to split. The parking lot fights over it are Epic! Great video!

[@janethernandez724]

I remember this video, and boy that was some feast they had, wasn't it? I am glad to hear you will be reacting to their "Trying southern fried chicken for the first time": video, I have that place 'Sweet Potatos" noted down on our list of places to visit, because we want to have what they had in the video especially that banana pudding! I enjoyed your reaction to this video! ☮💕

[@karlsmith2570]

2:29 "Do They Got Kool-aid?" They've got Hi-C, which is close enough

[@dutchrudder3805]

This might be my favorite Jolly video, Noah was awesome. There is a another video of Noah at the BBQ joint obviously and a ton of great content but Josh and Ollie also have a channel called Korean Englishmen. Really enjoy both these channels and the KE channel has some hilarious videos with a couple British rappers trying Korean food, can't recommend them enough. Sorry about big brother my guy. 💪

[@donaldriddle230]

I made and canned about 40 half pints of apple butter this spring.. there is no way I'm gonna be able to eat it all. But I love cooking, and Breakfast, I mean big southern breakfast is one of my favorite things to cook for family and friends.

[@nancydevany3005]

So glad you found the Jolly channel! Love these guys! Love your channel too! I need one of your orange sweatshirts!

[@bitterseeds]

In St. Louis where I grew up, this is called a Slinger. Normally slingers have chili instead of the sausage gravy but fk it. I'd eat it. :D And yes, it's an after 2AM thing ... specifically 2 AM - 5:30 AM.

[@evie9732]

Not to take away from your amazing Italy experience, Jolly travelled to Italy trying different cuisines, i highly recommend those videos 😊

[@che71che]

Im a brit and having a heartattack just watching them eat so much processed goodness, Now wonder our American cousins are sooo jolly

[@WarrantCWO]

Not much of what they ate was processed.

[@TheDivayenta]

Most food is processed before consumption- unless you have a stomach of cast iron and can eat raw.

[@WarrantCWO]

If by processed you mean cooked, then yes. But when they say processed food is not good for you they usually mean something other than cooked food. Technically a raw steak is processed because it is no longer a cow. ANY food that is cooked can technically be called processed.@@TheDivayenta

[@Batmandabomb]

And you have the nerve.. beans on toast? check yourself allright, allright

[@che71che]

@Batmandabomb I'm not saying American food is horrid, I'm saying if they served this great American food in Britain, we'd all be as fat as yoy Americans, Beans on toast might not be the greatest, but it keeps us from getting too wide

[@DUEYZ4U]

It's a great channel and I enjoy you heading down this rabbit hole. 👍👍

[@timothy4664]

If there wasnt a fight involved, their experience is illegitimate. 😂 It's not just Atlanta. All over the south.

[@tomscott8078]

Jamal brother! Yes, maple syrup on bacon, sausages! Cheers from Northern Ontario.

[@dianenc]

It must be a regional thing, but where I lived at the time (NJ) White Castle and local diners were the "go to" places after clubbing. (They were, pretty much, the only places that were open 24 hours.) There weren't (and still aren't) any Waffle Houses in that area.

[@chloequinn2274]

You are correct except a lot of places have closed since covid. 😢

[@johncurran6031]

Jamal, I live near Palm Springs about 140 miles east of LAX. The closest Waffle House to me is in Goodyear, AZ, about 250 miles east on I-10. It's at Exit 129. I eat there when I go to spring training baseball games in Goodyear. I grew up in the Midwest and WH is mostly in the SE and the SW. They have about 2200 places in the US. It is the best reason I know of to drive to Phoenix. The guy in the overalls is a cook at a BBQ joint where they first ate American ribs, baked beans, etc. He took these two Brits out to explore other things in Georgia. I don't recall that WH has Kool-Aid but they have lots of sugar and syrup. The pecan waffles are really good. I don't like the chocolate ones so much. Decent bacon & sausage; love the grits; love scrambled eggs with cheese; Coffee used to be mediocre but is pretty good now. Coffee mugs are really nice & for sale at the counter. The raisin bread toast is also very good. You are close enough to Phoenix to visit one sometime. NTW, the one at Exit 129 is the westernmost Waffle House in the US. They are not in California because of how much land costs in this state. Great reaction from you. This is southern comfort food that is a treat not to be missed.

[@MrsScootsey]

I love Josh and Olly. They do great videos.

[@willburrito9710]

I’ve said for years a Waffle House in London would be a killer! Problem is finding the people with the correct accent and work ethic.

[@keithmoore7988]

The Waffle House has a code for ordering food. When ordering hashbrowns. Scattered = spreading them out on the griddle to make them crunchy. Smothered = sautéed onions. Covered = melted cheese. Chunked = smoked ham. Diced = grilled tomatoes. Peppered = jalapeño peppers. Capped = grilled mushrooms. Topped = chili. & Country = sausage gravy.

[@coolcpa3321]

Learn it. Live it. Teach it. 👏

[@SeenGod]

scattered covered topped! that’s what’s up!

[@lizetteolsen3218]

One of my favorite videos from Jolly. I think you will enjoy their channel. Wholesome, funny, and the 2 Brits who are long-time friends explore different cultures.

[@texanjimbob1509]

Back in the day, in Dallas it was Steak and Eggs where we would go after clubbing. It was always entertaining as the Ladies of the night and all of us tipsy dancers would saddle up to some hash browns and scrambled eggs before attempting the drive home. Always an experience!

[@MariaSanchez-sf6oj]

The guy in the middle was on MasterChef. He actually lost a lot of weight. He was one of my favorite contestants.

[@beverlypearson5332]

I thought I recognized him!

[@bethking7348]

Jolly is so fun ❤. Now I'm craving waffles, syrup and bacon!

[@Torrentialdownpurr]

Love you reviewing the Jolly channel!

[@4tuneagent]

Should have got those Hash Browns, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, and Diced! Which is onions, cheese, ham, and tomatoes..

[@aggravatedHart]

The southern fried chicken episode in Savannah is great!

[@sherryheim5504]

I love Jolly, their videos are great! Wherever you live, there is probably a Waffle House that is within reasonable driving distance. When I used to drive across the country, Waffle House was one of the places I would stop because I always knew that the food would be good.

[@LaptopLarry330]

At the Waffle House Restaurants located here in Trumbull County, Ohio (near Pennsylvania), they have Hi-C Fruit Punch available, if you do not want to drink coffee ( which is very good), tea, or soda pop. Milk and orange juice is also available on the beverage section of the menu.

[@roberttompkins6489]

Growing up in the South in the 60s and 70s there were many places to get a traditional cafe type breakfast--today places like that are hard to find. That is one of the reason why I love Waffle House. Actually the food in my opinion is quite good.

[@TruthIsNotTemporary]

Somebody should make a competition video of Waffle House cooks and servers during busy hours…Amazing thing to watch as 4-5 servers holler out the orders to the cook…the cook looks like a maestro directing a symphony

[@coolcpa3321]

The talent and skill of a good short-order cook is a sight to behold.

[@trishc3099]

And I was very proud of that skill! Still am actually.

[@70centurian]

As an NC guy........ ONLY God closes the WH....! AND, OMG the stories from the QC/CLT nights at the WH in the 90s, after shows and clubs. (We had 1 in CLT, had its own COP. A HUGE Black guy and the funniest, nicest guy but DONT try to get over on the Crew...! ) NOT gonna go WELL for YA...! Great food and times and memories.

[@gotham61]

Jamel, I can't believe you've never been to a Waffle House during your travels. There are literally thousands of them across the south, but I guess none in California. There's also a copycat chain called Huddle House that's almost identical, with hundreds more locations.

[@ifcatshadthumbs...664]

What'd he do with those grits? Man I wanted them grits so bad. Either with fried ham and red-eye gravy or cheese grits...mmmmmmmm GOOD!!

[@andrewwadage]

Love your reactions. LOVE your vibe!

[@truthfromfaith5313]

yep. waffle house grits are very plain they taste like hot water. But they have all the ingredients to fix the grits right there. Stir in some eggs and some bacon and some sausage and a little maple syrup and you straight.

[@sln104]

All Star Special is the bomb! Waffle, Eggs, Hash browns, Bacon, Toast. I live in the South and grew up eating at Waffle House. You might have to fight your way out after you eat, but it’s worth it. 😂

[@toyota420xp]

When you started talking about the syrup on the sausage and bacon and stuff I was like where the heck is that coming from I almost forgot you were there

[@jameshobbs1460]

I've been to the Awful more times than I can count.. sober and tilted.. but never ever never have had an issue with anyone.. and in multiple states and cities.. Great reaction.. lol

[@puddysue]

I LOVE watching them enjoy this so much!

[@kevmodee1866]

You know the Brit loves it when he's okay with taking a bite of the sausage that the other guy just wrapped his mouth around!! 😂😂 Even though I love me some good southern Waffle House, I can't help but feel disgusted knowing the foods we consume in America! Now pass me the diabetic syrup please! 🤣🤣

[@danduntz2539]

Every weekend after a gig, two or three of us would hit a dennys around 3am, and would stay until the sun came up. Great drunk food, great drunks show.

[@GeorgiesMom723]

WH hash browns should be on everyone's bucket list. Too delicious to describe.

[@PaulHammond-o1s]

They are all over the south and up to Pennsylvania where I live.

[@GrimrDirge]

In Las Vegas the 3am spot was Blueberry Hill or Denny's. I didn't get to enjoy Waffle House until I was on the road from Ft Leonard Woods to Ft Benning at like 25 years old. It was so darned good, I wish they had them in the PNW but alas...

[@saiyanprince989]

40year old Ohioan here. Just ate at Waffle House for the first time earlier this year. Pretty good.

[@mgordon1100]

I'm from Chicago, and I would have to drive 3 hours into Indiana to get to a Waffle House. Now that I'm in North Carolina, I've got 6 right in my city. The closest one is 5 minutes away from me. I've only eaten there twice in over a year.

[@billschwener2283]

They have great cheese burgers and hash browns topped with their chili! YUM!

[@jackieagd7722]

The breakfast sandwich is my favorite.

[@cassyharrison3592]

Oh my word, I can practically feel my OWN stomach sloshing from just watching all that food being consumed. How did they do that!!

[@TheDivayenta]

Boys with active digestive systems!

[@WarrantCWO]

Only people not from where the pecans grow call them pe-caans. Where they come from they are called pee-cans. Grits can be for breakfast with butter and sugar, or dinner with salt and pepper.

[@DiamondRioFan1]

A pea-can is what you use when you can't find a tree. Or what the Green Giant puts his peas in before he ships them to the store.

[@WarrantCWO]

That sort of reply shows why the elite refused to call them properly. Again, where they are grown they are pea-cans. I know. I used to grow them. You're def not from pecan country. @@DiamondRioFan1

[@blindmikehigdon9095]

Never seen kook aid there. Back in the old days, I used to skip eating on a Friday night, go skydiving on Saturday morning, then head to the Awful Waffle for the all you can eat menu afterward. They hated to see me coming.

[@willburrito9710]

The best line was “I’ve been coming here since I was a fetus “🤣🤣🤣

[@thisiszaphod]

Don't know where those 'Brits' have been, but there are plenty of outlets in the UK that serve waffles.

[@michaelfish35]

When you want to actually go to breakfast, in the ATL, you go to the Flying Biscuit tho. I don't even like grits and when i took one bite of their grits I told them to just bring the pot out to me

[@jeffflowers5489]

If they're not backed up the waitress usually just shouts out the order to the cook and he/she just goes to work.

[@2299jsimon]

Granny used to make grits with milk, not water. Called them Georgia ice cream... yummy.

[@2299jsimon]

Love cheese eggs...

[@leonardchurch7675]

Our goto after clubbing was, White Castle, Denny's, Waffle House, or a local joint called Tee Jaye's Country Place or we raided the Dunkin Donuts and made the night shift nervous with 15 drunk 20 somethins descending like locust.

[@n8iws484]

O.M.G. Haven't had breakfast in one in years ! Jamel, find one. Pecan waffle is the ultimate. Hash Browns, best in the world. Worth the trip.

[@mattcampbell334]

I get off work at 11 pm so waffle house is a treat to me after working a 10 hour shift. The other videos you need to react to from these guys: Southern BBQ (Georgia) Biscuits and Gravy (also Georgia) Texas BBQ (Central Texas) Tex Mex (also Central Texas) What-a-Burger (of course in Texas) Texas Rodeo food Super Bowl Food Wendy's. As a fellow Californian, I recommend you watch them trying LA street tacos from a food truck In-N-Out Jack N the Box

Waffle House is more places than Atlanta. There are Waffle Houses even outside the South. You can find a map showing all the States and how many Waffle Houses in them.

I'm in Michigan and Denny's is probably the closest thing we have to a Waffle House as well. I'd like to try one at some point.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

You need to come to the South East. It will blow your mind! 😂 🇺🇸♥️🇬🇧

[@davidjeffers68]

No Koolaid but there is Hi C, Lemonade ( at some places ) and orange juice...

[@DSWilkes]

FYI, Waffle Houses are not limited to Atlanta. There are almost 2000 locations in 25 states. There's 15 restaurants in Arizona, the western most locations in the country. Their patty melts and hash browns are almost as famous as their waffles. Don't forget to smother, cover, chunk, diced, peppered, capped, topped, or country your has browns...

[@genghis1971]

I'm from Alabama so I've had my fair share of Waffle House, I've never ordered a waffle there. I can crush a triple order of smothered and topped hash browns though

I also told her that it wasn't the cleanest place I've ever been to and she responded with then why do you go? I'm not going to lie, I just love being there the people are great and the food is subpar

[@jennlee7929]

We have a waffle house approximately 7 to 8 miles from our house and surprisingly the few times that we go in the evening. It’s not very busy but the food is good and we do limit herself to approximately once a month even though I’m pretty sure my husband would be glad if we did it once a week.
