The usual menu items are still there -- All Star Special, for those with a big appetite. That features a waffle, eggs, and choices on hash browns/grits, bacon/sausage.

On this Saturday, even at mid-morning, it hit the spot. The waffle was a bit undercooked and fluffy, but still tasty. Everything else brought a "mmm" feeling.

But there are tweaks -- pumpkin spice waffles, for example. And keeping with the times, there are health-oriented items, such as dried apples.

It's still the Waffle House, though. Hashbrowns "scattered all the way" can be had, as well as Papa Joe's Pork Chops, $8.80, for meat lovers.

Looking to eat cheap? There's  a $1 menu, featuring such things as Texas sausage biscuit.

And speaking of trendy, there's a digital jukebox, which was getting a workout during the morning of this reporter's visit.

That was along with the college football chatter. "You got the 3:30 game today?" someone asked an Alabama fan the day of the Texas A&M game.

Yes, it's the Waffle House, all right.
