A wild video posted online shows the moment a massive fight broke out at a Waffle House in Texas at 4 am between staff members and rambunctious customers.
The video shows staff members and customers brawling
The newly-released video, taken inside a restaurant in Austin last year, shows two women yelling at the Waffle House staff when one of them stands on the counter and a staff member throws a coffee pot at them.
Soon, the women start throwing items back at the employees before tumbling over the counter and an all-out fistfight begins.
The professional wrestling-style brawl only ended when one young, female employee flawlessly caught a chair that was thrown at her with just one hand.
It remains unclear what led up to the fight at the casual eatery.
Inside the Waffle House fight video
The viral video starts with a group of patrons sitting at a table and yelling at an employee, as the man filming exclaims: ‘Bro, what the f*** is going on? Bro, I just want my waffles.‘

At some point in the argument, a woman wearing a crop top and white yoga pants could be seen on top of the counter as one of her friends snuck behind it.
After the woman got off, a small, blonde employee threw a coffee pot at her. That is when the woman’s friend, in a t-shirt, black leggings, and yellow sneakers, climbs onto one of the stools at the counter and starts grabbing everything she can to hurl at the female employee.
But the friend, who had since decided to climb on top of the counter herself, then fell behind the counter — at which point the female employee grabs her and starts pummeling her before the girl’s friends and other employees try to intervene and separate the two women.
The fistfight sends other patrons running outside the restaurant out of apparent fear for their own safety, though they continue to watch the fight escalate from the windows outside.
There, they see that a third female customer has grabbed the employee by her hair as one of her friends continues to yell at the staff.
Soon, another female employee decides to get involved and hits the woman herself, even though her male colleague desperately tries to break the fight apart.
Employees Known as heroes on the Internet
After a few moments, the man finally succeeds and the two women slink away, but not before the woman in a t-shirt grabs a bottle and threatens to throw it at the employees.
Instead, though, she and her friend walk away and grab some chairs, hurling them at the employees.
The female employee is now being hailed as a hero online, with at least one Twitter user comparing her to an Avenger.
Another user wrote: ‘You would have a better chance at fighting an entire prison yard than throwing hands with the one white chic working the Waffle House night shift.’
Others, meanwhile, talked about how tough Waffle House employees are, with one person tweeting: ‘This is Waffle House training at its finest.’
The cause of the fight is unknown
One person even said that Waffle House employees are like the sixth branch of the United States military.
It’s clear that things got out of hand at this Waffle House and it’s not clear what led to the fight, but it’s definitely a situation that nobody wants to find themselves in.
