Another one of Metro Atlanta's claim to fame... The Waffle House. What Atlanta partier or concert goer hasn't eaten at a Waffle House in the middle of the night, I've heard they are also open during the day. There is never a dull moment at the Waffle House, someone always has a story to tell you or a drama unfolds right before your eyes, like true life dinner theater. ANYWAY the first Waffle House opened it's doors labor day weekend in 1955 at 1955 at 2719 East College Avenue in Avondale Estates. The restaurant was conceived and founded by two neighbors, Joe Roger, Sr. and Tom Forkner, they decided Avondale Estates needed a 24-hour restaurant. Today, the chain they started has 1600 restaurants in 25 states.
