A wild brawl broke out between customers and workers at a Waffle House — apparently after a patron’s phone was withheld behind the counter, viral video shows.

The dust-up shared on Twitter Saturday showed a group of irate diners demanding staffers return a cellphone.

“Ring that one up so we can pay for that one and then you can put up that phone,” one of the women can be heard shouting.

Another member of the party chimes in, “Can I please get my goddamn phone? Somebody?”

He then climbs behind the counter in an apparent bid to retrieve the device and is restrained by two of the employees, video shows.

The man is seen repeatedly striking one of the workers as two of the other members of his group jump into the fray behind the counter.

One of the women tries to wrestle the phone out of another employee’s hands as her wig gets knocked off and her top becomes exposed, video shows.

“We gotta go. We’ve got coke. Give us our phone,” the woman can be heard saying.

It’s unclear why the phone was being held from the customers, and where and when the dust-up took place.

“you can always count on Waffle House,” wrote the Twitter user who shared the clip, which had nearly 1 million views as of Sunday morning.
