Waffle House, American restaurant in College Park, US.
Waffle House is an American restaurant in College Park featuring an open kitchen where cooks prepare food in plain view of diners. Customers can sit at the counter or in booths while enjoying breakfast items, waffles, and sandwiches throughout the day.
The first location opened in 1955 when Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner founded the concept in Avondale Estates, Georgia. The concept then spread across the southeastern United States, becoming a regional dining institution.
The restaurant has become a place where diners openly communicate their cooking preferences and watch food being prepared right before them. This open kitchen approach creates a direct connection between customers and staff throughout the meal.
The location operates around the clock with economical pricing for all visitors. Parking is available on site and counter service allows for quick ordering and service.
The restaurant stays open during severe weather events, serving emergency responders and people seeking refuge. This reliability has made it an unofficial indicator of how serious a storm or disaster has been in the area.
