Jackson Jambalaya

In order to consolidate "crime".

Who the heck follows Waffle House on social media?

Losing out cities is the necessary sacrifice civilization must make at the altar of multiculturalism.

Chowke's dope boys will have to change location.

I thought the Lakeland Drive location just across the Pearl River in Rankin was an odd location when it first opened but it's looking better and better every day.

Dang...the I-55 corridor is really falling apart. The car dealerships will be next. Pretty soon it will be Newark, but without the gentrification. More like Lagos.

Shooting gallery.

Poor Jackson can't sustain 3 waffle houses.

Surprised this one was closed when the ones on Beasley Road and High Street remain open.

I quit patronizing 'Awful Houses' years ago when I contracted food poisoning from the very one mentioned in this thread.

Won't hurt my feelings if they closed them all.

there's only like, what, 16 or so in the metro area? they have a massive workforce in the area. i'm guessing there are other factors at work here...

Activity on County Line Rd and North Old Canton should pickup shortley.

Rome continues to burn........

Its pretty bad when a Waffle House that is within spitting distance of a major interstate exit has to close. The nearby KFC and Popeyes can't be far behind.

Highway 80 corridor here we come! One day we'll look back fondly on the disastrous half-Mayorship of Antard Lumumba. The half-Mayor who took Jackson from a slow decline to an outright civic crash.

"Rome continues to burn..." while the long sobs of a violin can be heard from behind a gated subdivision.

Makes sense since Jackson's rampant crime Demarcation Line has moved from State to the I55 frontage.

In the vein of: "And what can I get you, hon?" culture, recall Nicholson in: 'Five Ra
Easy Pieces' in a waffle house type diner.
"I'd like a plain omelette, no potatoes, tomatoes instead, a cup of coffee and wheat toast" Waitress says no wheat toast. Nicholson orders a wheat toast chicken sandwich, hold everything but the toast and hold the chicken "between your legs".

I think I have eaten at a Waffle House maybe twice in my life. I will go out of my way for a Denny's, though. Breakfast is great and if lunch or dinner, club sandwich and fries is my go to.

I went to a WH once. When I noticed the cook picking his nose I walked out. Never again.

"between your knees," 10:53. But truly, thank you bringing attention a masterpiece of a movie. Nicholson made an amazing anti-hero.

No better feeling in the world than to be cruising down the interstate at 2:00 am, top a hill, and see that wonderful Waffle House sign in the distance with the assurance someone is ready to fill a cup of joe for you and throw some bacon eggs and loaded hash browns on the grill. Maybe two slices of wheat toast too. Heaven on earth!

I could crush some scattered smothered and covered

At Waffle House you can watch them pick their nose. All other restaurants, you never know what they’ve been grabbing. I’m old and you’re the only person I’ve ever heard getting food poisoning from WH. I’ve never been to a Denny’s that I felt clean enough to enjoy my food.

If Waffle House and Cracker Barrel pull out it's got to be close to rock bottom. I know the local restauranteurs won't leave, but they may open a second store out of town.

"Rome continues to burn." My goodness, it's a Waffle House. Between this and the Cracker Barrel, folks think it's a case of true civilizational collapse when some terrible diners go out of business

I often have nightmares caused, I think, by subliminal visions of all those flies (dead and alive) on the insides of windows at Waffle Houses.

'Here, Hun, take this fly-swatter and sit wherever you like. Whatchu havin' this mornin'?'

Still the most perfect 'soft scrambled eggs' in town, or, in my case: Old Canton Road in Ridgelan, my 'new home' after 49 years in Histeric Belhaven... The grits are quite good, and if you get pecans in your waffle, it's considered 'healthy!'

‘‘Tis Jackson. It is to laugh.

A Hurricane must be headed our way !

Nothing to do with the abandoned hotel O that is 20 yards away that has more people staying at it now that it’s closed then when it was open. I can only imagine what’s going on in the back of that property with what you can see going on from the frontage road.

City Council should denounce Waffle House for closing.

I love getting breakfast there. Their hashbrowns are incredible.

Steam Room Grill, Luby's, Fudruckers, Cracker Barrell, Twin Peaks and more (all substantial real estate investments) come to mind. It wont be long until the termites eat Highland Village, The District and Fondren. The Northeast Jackson folks used to make so much fun of Rankin County and especially Pearl. Now Pearl has become a real gem as Jackson I-55 N and the rest of Jackson rots. We all know why.

Perhaps the night owls and thugs are on Ozempic now?

Great the vacancy will fit right in with the half burned open air hotel where no one even tried to hide the illegal activity going on around the clock. Can we not just bulldoze it and be done? And what on earth do the owners of the other side of the place still in operation think, I can’t imagine business is booming. Only in Jackson would a motel be split into two separate businesses. And I repeat WHY IN THE HECK is no one doing anything about it?????

imagine trying to operate a business in jackson
