There's a reason it's called Waffle House and not Salad Hut

It's got all the elements of a proper salad

Sad iceberg lettuce

Small diced white onions

Pickle chips

Brown goop

Red

Seems about right to me.
- Brown goop is not normally part of a proper salad AFAIK
  
  Mmmm...red...
  
  What is vinaigrette but brown goop
  
  I got a dragonfly in my salad from Wawa the other day
This is funny, but also fake - unless this person was truly pissing off the cooks! Their actual salads come in little wooden bowls and look like salads. You can image search it. They give you packets of dressing and everything. I’ve never ordered one, but eaten with friends who had dietary restrictions. They never got a plate this hateful, lol.
- I took your advice and found some pictures of actual customer reviews, and it appears that you are indeed correct. While they might not all be the most glorious examples of salad craft in the world, they definitely look edible and miles better than what the Facebook OP would have us believe.
  
  Please enjoy my selection:
  
  Thank you for posting images, I couldn’t figure out how!
  
  But they're not called Salad Hut! How can they possibly make good looking salads?
If it's any consolation, the Salad House offers some pretty crappy waffles.

- Well, you wouldn't go to Red Lobster just for their burger, although it does in fact look a lot more appetizing than this thing.
  
  I'd like to try a crab cake burger/sandwich.
Dafuq is that brown
- I'm assuming that's supposed to be the dressing, but it looks suspiciously like BBQ sauce if you ask me.
  
  I get diarrhea that looks like that after I eat too much beef jerky.
- Just be A1 for the steaks they have.
- The gravy
  
  Can't have a salad without brown gravy.
- My money is on the brown goop from the grill's grease trap.
You can picture the guy squirting the dressing on that salad.

Order up!
I didn't even know they had a salad. And if I'm being honest, I'm petty surprised anyone would actually order it...
- Waffle House has a bigger menu than most people realize, you just have to actually request a full menu. It's actually on the fine print on the menus.
  
  I only know this because I worked absolutely awful shifts and the only place open when I got off was either Waffle House or another diner, so I spent way too much time with coworkers at both.
- Pretty sure almost ANY restaurant will have a salad somewhere, even if they're 100% carnivore focused otherwise, because there's always that odd vegetarian that shows up out of nowhere and refuses to eat anything else.
  
  Same goes for burgers, apparently. Even Red Lobster and Olive Garden have one on the menu, presumably for those awkward family dinners involving grumpy teenagers who didn't want to be there in the first place.
There's a "fancy" restaurant down the street from me that serves the same salad for $30.
- I would hope for that kind of money they'd put a little more effort into the presentation.
I mean that's an A++ salad at Waffle House
