"When you're looking for a quick bite and aren't quite sure what you'd like to try, Tasting Table has put together a guide for which dishes to avoid ordering at Waffle House in an effort to steer you in the right direction. Albeit a tempting treat, Waffle House's pecan pie is settled squarely in the "don't" column as an unfortunately disappointing dessert."
"The phrase "heated and treated" when used to describe the preparation of Waffle House pecan pie also conjures up confusion among customers. Those in the know have shed light that this involves warming a slice of pecan pie on the griddle, adding butter on top, and then placing a domed lid over the pie to let it steam prior to plating and serving. Unfortunately, all of this effort doesn't necessarily yield an ideal dessert."
Waffle House pecan pie often disappoints due to a fast-food preparation that undermines the dessert's ideal texture and balance. The preparation labeled "heated and treated" means warming a slice on the griddle, adding butter, and covering it with a domed lid to steam before plating. That process can produce a soggy texture and an overly sweet, muddled flavor. Waffles remain the standout item, offering a better sweet option when finished with butter and maple syrup. Customers can also choose from various hashbrown styles—scattered, smothered, covered, or "all-the-way"—to tailor savory orders.
