Waffle House is a beloved American diner chain serving Southern comfort food. Founded in 1955 by Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner, Waffle House has been a staple of late-night diners for over six decades.
The restaurant's signature item, the waffle, is cooked to order on a griddle and served with sweet or savory toppings. The menu also features classic American fare such as eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and country ham.
In the Southern United States, Waffle House has become an institution after hurricanes and natural disasters, often providing meals for emergency responders and affected residents.
