Happy 50th anniversary to the Waffle House, a chain of restaurants that never disappoints hungry chow hounds. On your right is a photo of the original Waffle House, located at 2719 East College Avenue in Decatur, which opened Labor Day 1955.
In August 2008, the Waffle House completed a total renovation of this property, restoring the exterior to the way it looked when it opened as the first Waffle House in 1955 (by bojan). The building now functions as the Waffle House museum, open by appointment for groups of 10 or more and on an irregular basis to the public at large.
