We visited the Waffle House at 1759 Beach Blvd in Biloxi Mississippi<\/a> on 21 May 2010. There are 16 Waffle Houses in the Biloxi area<\/a>, and not a single mom and pop pancake shop that we could find. But we were on a road trip. We were hungry. We had to make do. Note the little patch of gray-blue behind the white pickup truck; that’s the Gulf of Mexico. That’s right. A waterfront Waffle House. And you were making fun …<\/p>\n

\"waffle-outside\"<\/p>\n

This was Tampa Bay Breakfasts’ first ever visit to a Waffle House. Here’s an interesting comparison. Pacagoula-Biloxi-Gulfport has 16 Waffle Hausen. The entire Tampa Bay area (like, totally, all of Pinellas and Hillsborough counties) has only 7<\/a>. Marek scoped the menu. Waffles, hmmm?<\/p>\n

\"waffle-menu\"<\/p>\n

We had to get coffee right away. Me and Marek, we like us some coffee!<\/p>\n

\"waffle-menu-coffee\"<\/p>\n

Now regardless of what you think about Waffle House, it is pretty cool that you can watch the magic happen. There’s pretty much no spitting in your grits here!<\/p>\n

\"waffle-kitchen\"<\/p>\n

We played with Mater<\/a>. This little guy actually has a wobbly suspension out of the factory. Seriously, roll him across the table and he wobbles back and forth, on purpose. As an authentic redneck-small-town fellow, I’m trying to figure if Disney is making fun of me with this.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-mater2\"<\/p>\n

We had breakfast with a Very Pretty Girl this morning.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-pretty-girl2\"<\/p>\n

Marek made fun of the wobbly suspension problem and got in trouble by mom. Mater appeared nonplussed.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-mater\"<\/p>\n

We had breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-breakfast1\"<\/p>\n

And more breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-breakfast2\"<\/p>\n

Marek had lots of bacon. Because, well, I just don’t know.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-bacon\"<\/p>\n

The bill came and it was pretty reasonable. We all ate for around eleven bucks. Actually, the three of us split a single “special” and none of us left hungry.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-bill\"<\/p>\n

After breakfast we took a walk on the beach. Our Waffle House is in the distance on the very right of the photograph.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-beach\"<\/p>\n

The water was murky, but that’s how the water is in Biloxi. Can’t blame Katrina or BP for this one; it was like that in 1995 when Famous TBB Guest Reviewer Mom and I lived here in 1995.<\/p>\n

\"waffle-ocean\"<\/p>\n

After all that, we felt like, well, we had been to a big chain breakfast, but at least we weren’t hungry. That’ll tide us over for a few hours!<\/p>\n

\"waffle-kiss\"<\/p>\n

Long enough to get to Mobile to check out the U.S.S. Alabama<\/a>! <\/p>\n

\"marek-alabama2\"<\/p>\n

Where we had ice cream. <\/p>\n

\"marek-alabama3\"<\/p>\n

And learned how to fly jets. (Actually, the jet trainer seats were at the Air Force Armament Museum<\/a> the next day, but hey, we’re a breakfast blog, not Jane’s<\/a>, so get off our backs about it!)<\/p>\n
