Waffle House
Southern breakfast diner
Waffle House is an American restaurant chain known for its 24-hour diners serving breakfast foods, particularly waffles.
The yellow-signed restaurants are fixtures along Southern highways and have become cultural touchstones for late-night meals and post-drinking food runs.
FEMA unofficially uses the "Waffle House Index" to gauge disaster severity—if local Waffle Houses close, conditions are dire.
