Do other countries have their version of Waffle House (a chain restaurant with many locations serving crap diner-type food and known for being open late and fistfights more than the actual food quality)? Or is it just like, "the local pub" or something?

What I am asking is, do people throw hands at the Tim Hortons?

Maybe elsewhere in the country but around here that rep is usually held by McDonald's locations. And Tim's is more Dunkin' Donuts than Waffle House.

Remember how chuds were filming themselves in fast food restaurants yelling at the cashiers about mask policies? Ever see them attempt that in a Waffle House?

Australia doesn't really have a homegrown chain as such (unless you count Hungry Jacks which is just a burger king re-skin) so McDonalds and KFC fill that ecological niche.

We still get some skirmishes from the Portuguese Chicken Uprisings but from what I can tell Oporto's is maintaining a steady rule over Nando's despite Ogalo's small but tasty insurgency.

It’s mostly McDonald’s and Pizza Pizzas in Canada, those are the preferred late night food spots for drunk people

People have mentioned a bunch of late night Aussie chains but none of them really have the reputation that Waffle House seems to have for rage. I think the fact that drunk people are more likely to get a kebab and just get into mischief wherever they are rather than have a late night chain as the centre is at least partially to blame for that.

My knowledge of fast food chains is not as comprehensive as I had thought.

Although Red Rooster is everywhere except east of Sydney's Red Rooster line.

But yeah, Kebab shops are where the 3am fights are. Or the pub.

when i was a broke teen living in the boonies, the only place to go at night that wasn't a dark damp wood or someone's basement was waffle house. i've seen plenty of waffle house fights because yeah, its like the only late night place you can go that has hot food and other people

i was once in a waffle house that was closed for business. me and my lovely friends were hanging out at midnight and some dudes showed up to clean the grease out of the vent hood. this meant they had to shut down the grill while the dudes were there. we knew the server, she gave us free drinks so long as we sat there and were her customers so she didn't have to go into the normal cleaning up routines that you're supposed to do in the dead of night when there are no customers. so they locked the door and we sat there. people kept driving up and trying to open the door and the concept of a locked door on a waffle house with lights on and people inside was causing some real existential moments for folks

Nobody fights in a Spoons because its either for casuals wanting a curry club meal deal, or terminals who think it's a waste of drinking time.

For the real ultra-violence you want to find a city centre McDonald's. One of the 24hr locations with bouncers and all the tables hidden upstairs so they can close it off. Something about the white tiles and endless touchscreens activates the lizard brain and next thing you're having to fight an entire hen party who want to shank you with plastic cock tiaras.

Waffle House's hash browns are 95% of the reason people go to Waffle House after "it's open"

Going through all of the American English voices none of them sound like how I've ever heard the word "Kebab" pronounced. I don't think this is a useful tool for figuring out accents, they have a total of three voices labeled "English - British" Pretty sure there's more than three accents on that island.

It's a shame we don't get taught IPA in school, allowing us to bypass the whole tedious "k'bahb, not k'barb. wait, what how do you say 'barb', is it like this or that?"
