While several people rushed to help, the attacker immediately stepped away when the much taller customer calmly intervened to break up the fight. The group then quickly left the scene before the police arrived.

One employee was placed in a headlock before being struck several times in the head; the police have confirmed the victim did not sustain serious injuries, according to local news station WSB-TV.

In 2022, a fight video went viral, inspiring the “Waffle House Wendy” meme when a female server caught a chair mid-air during a brawl. Additionally, in 2018, the chain was at the center of a nationwide controversy when Anthony Walls, an unarmed Black man, was choked and thrown to the ground by police while at a North Carolina Waffle House with his sister after prom. That same year, white gunman Travis Reinking opened fire on a Waffle House in Tennessee and killed four patrons, all Black. Commenters on X seem to have had enough of Waffle House-related violence, and are calling for police to “lock those thugs up!” “Where are their parents?! No home training at all! Classless!” wrote one. “White kids gone wild,” said another, followed by demands to “Put these entitled brats in JAIL.” Some made light of the situation, joking about Waffle House fight club rules: “Only Waffle House employees can fight other Waffle House employees.” The police investigation is still underway.
