Map of the U.S. According to Number of Residents Per Waffle House

Waffles? Don't you mean carrots? HAHAHAHA

People eat at Awful House?

I first read that as President's per waffle house... which would also be interesting

Does this include the Waffle and Steak portion of the franchise in Indiana?

Being a Canadian, I actually had to google "waffle house."

Why is it surprising that there are more Waffle Houses in the South considering it started in Atlanta?

If you want one in Iowa, franchise opportunities are no doubt available.

Do you really think the food at a Tim Horton's, for instance, is more nutritious? WH isn't haute cuisine, it's a 24/7/365 grill. And I'll have my hash browns scattered and covered, please.

I'm sure the opportunity to opening a location is there, but the question is if there is demand to have one. They have that 1970s grungy coffee & cigarettes atmosphere that doesn’t seem to attract people anymore for some reason.

Reminds me of the road trips we used to take to Florida, and my sister & I nicknamed them "The Awful House".

Waffle House is part of the southern landscape. What would the south be like without them? While the rest of the country has a Starbucks on every corner, the south has a Waffle House on every corner. I used to eat there all the time when I was in college. Part of the appeal is that they stay open 24 hours, so people go there in the wee hours of the morning after a night of drinking with friends. Gauldar couldn't be more correct when he described it as a 1970's grungy coffee and cigarettes type of place. There are several in my hometown, within walking distance of one another. Someone has shot themselves in each one on several occasions. They also get robbed and Kid Rock got in a brawl in one once. Classy establishment, that Waffle House. Needless to say, I don't eat there anymore. Yuck.
