Fine dining with the Savage Waffles at the Waffle House....

America's Place to Work,
America's Place to Eat.

The Waffle House eating experience.
The Waffle House® Experience means different things to different people. It could be a bowl of Bert’s Chili™, a glass of Alice’s Iced Tea™ or just the friendly face behind the counter. Go to OUR HOUSE to read stories about special people and go to SIGNATURE ITEMS to get the story behind our chili, soups, tea and coffee.

Did you Know?
-If you lay all of the Bryan bacon end-to-end that Waffle House serves in a year, it will stretch from Atlanta to Los Angeles seven times! (That's more than 21,000 miles of bacon)

-If you could stack all of the sausage patties we serve in one day, it would reach the TOP of the Empire State Building! (Did you want grits with that?)

-Waffle House serves more than 3.2 million pounds of grits each year. That is enough to fill 86 semi-trucks!

-Each year Waffle House customers eat more than 334,000 pounds of pecans in their waffles. Which is more than 21 million pecans.

-Waffle House customers consume 2% of the total eggs produced in the United States for foodservice use. That is more than 185,000,000 eggs every year - 500,000 eggs everyday - 20,833 eggs every hour - 347 eggs every minute and five eggs every second.

-If you used all of the eggs Waffle House serves in a year to make a cheese omelet, it would weigh 28 tons and would need 185 million slices of cheese. (Do you want hashbrowns with that?)

-If you lined up all the bowls of Bert's ChiliT Waffle House serves in a year, it would stretch the length of Florida's coastline on both the Atlantic and the Gulf!

-Waffle House serves more than 10,000 T-bone steaks every day.

-If you stack all of the USDA Choice hamburger patties Waffle House serves in a year, it would equal the height of 18 Mount Everest!

-Waffle House serves more than 381 tons of country ham every year. That translates to more weight than a fully loaded Boeing 747 at takeoff.

-The first Waffle House® restaurant opened on Labor Day in 1955 in Avondale Estates, GA

-The Waffle House System operates more than 1,470 restaurants in 25 states.

Man-o-man am I gettin' hungry!
