Waffle House
Waffle House[edit | edit source]
Waffle House is a popular American restaurant chain that is known for its round-the-clock service, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. The chain was founded by Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner in 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia.
History[edit | edit source]
Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner founded Waffle House in 1955. The first restaurant was located in Avondale Estates, Georgia. The founders wanted to create a restaurant where people could enjoy good food at any time of the day or night. The concept was a success and the chain quickly expanded across the United States.
Menu[edit | edit source]
Waffle House is famous for its breakfast menu, which includes a variety of waffles, eggs, and meats. The restaurant also offers a lunch and dinner menu, featuring sandwiches, burgers, and other classic American dishes. One of the unique features of Waffle House is its hash browns, which can be ordered in a variety of styles, including "scattered" (spread on the grill), "smothered" (with onions), and "covered" (with cheese).
Locations[edit | edit source]
As of 2021, there are over 2,100 Waffle House locations in 25 states, with a heavy concentration in the South. The chain is especially prevalent in Georgia, where it was founded, and in other southern states like Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee.
Culture[edit | edit source]
Waffle House has a unique culture that sets it apart from other restaurant chains. The restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and have a reputation for staying open even in extreme weather conditions. This has led to the creation of the unofficial "Waffle House Index," used by some to gauge the severity of a natural disaster based on whether the local Waffle House is open or closed.
