Since I've had such great experiences at this particular Waffle House in the past, I decided to…read morewait until I reached Ruther Glen to have dinner while traveling home from New Jersey. I started getting hungry around Washington, DC, but it was definitely worth the wait!
What impresses me most about this Waffle House is the dedication of its staff. When I arrived around 8 PM, there were only two employees working--one man on the grill and a woman taking orders. Despite how busy they were, she gave me a friendly greeting and assured me she would be with me as soon as she could.
When another employee arrived to help, she was immediately told, "Take the order of the man in red sitting at the high bench"--that was me!
By then, I had already been served a half-sweet, half-unsweetened iced tea, which was delicious.
I ordered the All Star special, specifically, two sunny side up eggs, sausage, hash browns, waffle, and white toast. One of the women taking orders also prepared my waffle and refilled my tea. Meanwhile, the gentleman working the grill was incredibly efficient. He prepared my eggs, sausage, and hash browns so quickly that it seemed like I barely waited at all, especially considering how busy the restaurant was.
TEAMWORK--just unbelievable TEAMWORK! And, as Waffle House likes to say, "Good Food Fast!"
The restaurant itself is typical of a Waffle House along an interstate highway. It's clean, welcoming, and a comfortable place to stop for a meal.
I look forward to visiting the Ruther Glen Waffle House again on my next trip to Washington, DC, or beyond!
