I have been dining at Waffle House all of my life. It is one of my favorite places to eat. But last night I had a confrontation with one of the employees at this particular restaurant. I didn't get his name. But I think he was the only one working the register at the time. He looked to be in his fifties and had longer black hair. He was about 5'8". It was Sunday, about 10:45PM. He was not my server, but he checked me out at the register. And while doing so, he asked me if I was a police officer? I said no. And he said that I wasn't supposed to be carrying a firearm on the premises if I wasn't a police officer. I told him that I have a permit issued by the state and I am legally allowed to carry anywhere that doesn't serve alcohol. I asked him if there was a sign posted stating what he told me? And he threw his hand up and said "somewhere around here". I eat out often at many other restaurants and I never encounter problems like this. The State of Tennessee issues handgun carry permits that specify the permit holder can carry open or concealed, so long as the place doesn't serve alcohol or the business doesn't have a sign posted prohibiting firearms. Please let me know where corporate stands on this issue, because it will determine whether or not I will remain a Waffle House customer. Thanks, Jason Huskey
Dear Mr. Huskey:
Thank you for contacting us about your experience in Brentwood, Tennessee. We appreciate our guests taking the time to inform us about their experiences.
We apologize for the situation you experienced at our restaurant. No fire arms, guns, knives or other potentially dangerous weapons of any kind are allowed on Waffle House property, except in the possession of a law enforcement officer (with proper identification and credentials and/or in uniform) or a security guard (in uniform). Anyone else is asked to leave their weapon locked in their car while dining in the restaurant. Even if you have a license to carry a concealed weapon, this does NOT give you the right to carry it on to private property, such as Waffle House restaurants.

Our goal is to make sure that our guests receive exceptional service and quality products.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. We express our regret and hope that we have the opportunity to serve you again soon.
