    a parking lot at night
    Peter D.

    It's near midnight, your hungry and danced up a healthy appetite from attending a great concert or club. You maybe a little over served on top of it. Everything seems to be closed, so where do you go? Absolutely the Waffle House! Now I normally go to other Waffle House restaurants for the free entertainment that goes along with enjoying breakfast or diner past bed time, however this one in Hoover in special. It's right off 31 and is a secret location off the Public's parking lot. I feel like I am going to a secret hidden speak. If you are really drunk, finding the entrance maybe difficult. Mild to moderate drunk, it's possible with good gps. Severely drunk, gooood luck! Surprisingly this Waffle House is always busy. Why?....because it's the best freaking Waffle House on the planet. Anyone not giving this Waffle House five stars must have been so intoxicated they tried to eat the menus. Service is far superior than any other of the sophisticated breakfast places piping up around town. Workers are friendly, intelligent and sober! My wife and I had delicious eggs, ham, grits, toast and waffles super special. Everything was super clean and the coffee was delicious. Ambiance was a little more sophisticated than most Waffle Houses, but you still could show up after prom and they would still let you in. I am ratting this WH with five star plus!

    The kindest waitress served us last night and I couldn't decide what type of waffle and she made me a waffle with all 4 flavors! She went out of her way late at night and she was so sweet, not a lot of people do this at waffle house! This place deserves 5 stars!

    These are the employees that are at work but they refuse to serve me because they are "closed"

    Came at 3:00 am restaurant is supposed to be 24 hours I see employees standing outside at their cars yet they say that they are closed so who's lying here?????

Thankfully free parking was available. I walked in at the perfect time, just as the breakfast grill was shutting down and the lunch grill was heating up. I was 5 minutes pass breakfast, as told by the waitress. She was so kind and told me that she would ask, if they (he) could prepare a breakfast for me. The answer was yes, but no grits. Oh well, let's try the omelette and hash brows. I'm really not into hash browns but these were delicious! Crispy and perfectly round. The omelette was also good and fluffy. The coffee was a good robust cup of coffee. This is a real old school diner. Counter seats with a few booths to the side. No frills here. Decent diner food with great friendly service. By the time I finished my breakfast, the lunch crowd was starting to come in for a seat at the counter and booths. I heard someone say, this is the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Anyways, this was a pleasant place to have a good simple meal with some awesome service. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of not being able to get the grits, which was my fault for not getting there a little sooner. I will definitely come back.

Unfortunately Archie's not convenient for me, so I don't get to Archie's nearly enough. But I know where to go when it counts! I purchased 4lbs of inside and outside mixed meat today, and a quart of sauce with extra pickles. Everyone eating all said the same thing. Delicious ! The ole fashioned home-made fried Apple and Peach pies remind of my grandmother's, she used to make these fried pies for the "Real" Original Golden Rule in Irondale when it was across the street, from the current Irondale locations many years ago. The beans and coleslaw are also excellent. I think Archie's may have some of these vintage photos inside if my memory serves. I grew up with my grandad standing me on the kitchen table as a toddler while he made up the original Golden Rule BBQ Sauce in gaint pickle jars. The jars was bigger than I was. I still have this original Golden Rule sauce recipe that Archie's uses. They do an excellent job! Nothing has changed at this location but the name. Still the best BBQ in town. The complete package. The servers always do a great job, those that take and fetch to go orders from the parking lot are really efficient. The only constructive advice I would give is this owner, is to Keep Up The Work ! And get setup for delivery! So how some way! Somehow being able to pay online so pick ups can be made by others for delivery. Double your business!

After being seated, I noticed how colorful and whimsical the decor was. But because it was so crowded, I didn't get a lot of pictures. I ordered the garden veggie scramble with the moon dusted potatoes and a side of beyond sausage. My guy ordered the waffle breakfast. The food was just as delicious as we remembered it to be. The star is always those creamy grits. I'm not sure how they make them, but I wish they would tell me their secret. The biscuits are always light and fluffy, and with the apple butter that comes with it, it's a match made in heaven. Pro Tip: I've ordered food from here courtesy of DoorDash but it's always been a disaster. The order was always missing random items or I received the wrong order. I do not recommend ordering through a 3rd party; go in person if at all possible.
