Waffle House Museum

The very first Waffle House opened its doors for the first time Labor Day weekend 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia. Now the site of the Waffle House Museum, the interior has been lovingly recreated to capture the look and feel of the original restaurant. Rooted in southern hospitality, we have always focused on making people feel at home, and now with nearly 2,000 restaurants spanning twenty-five states, Waffle House has become a southern staple, and a familiar landmark for thousands. 

Please join us as we journey back in time and explore the history of Waffle House #1 and the stories of our founders Joe and Tom. After exploring the restaurant, the journey continues as we move onto the exhibit floor and learn about the Waffle House brand today. Topics covered include our menu and uniform histories, jukebox, and the famed Waffle House Index.
