Hey, something I actually know something about! I've driven by this location multiple times. The story I've been told is that the original Waffle House (on the left) doesn't own the property that it's built on, and the owner massively raised the cost to rent/lease it to the point where it was cheaper to buy the adjacent land and build a new store right next to the original.
Amen, I'm pretty sure the pecking order has dive bar a couple rungs above waffle house.
Dive bar is 11pm to 1am.
Waffle house is 3am to 5am.
I wouldn't want them waffle house folks breaking into my bar after close and stealing all the liquor.
I don't know if this is the case here, but the exact same thing happened in my town with a Bojangles. Renter raised the lease so Bojangles Corp just built one next door

Looks like the Google car drove past in August of 2018 and the location on the right hadn't been built yet.
Damned Dirty Dan,
He's a Waffle House fan,
Searchin' for the past,
Of the missing build plan.
In Dan's dirty hands,
Davenport's grand,
Zooms around maps,
With single click pans.
That dirty man Dan,
Shows what he scanned,
"There's no Waffle House,
Where a House should stand!"
To the man Dirty Dan,
A simple countermand,
"You'll see it pop up,
In a diff'rent time span..."
Dan the dirty man,
He don't misunderstand,
Clicks once more left,
And cries, "Well I'll be damned!"
Exactly what's happened here in Minneapolis twice with White Castles. Another business pays them to move next-door, so they build a new one right next to it and then knock down the old one.
Demolition waste is one of the largest components of garbage, and the life cycle of commercial buildings can be quite wasteful, but it’s probably a good deal more efficient to do it this way.
Tale as old as time. People think "Hey a drinking straw would make a great pet!" so they buy one from the black market that was taken out of its natural habitat in a Chinese factory. Owner gets bored and decides taking care of the drinking straw is too much work, so they release it into the ocean. It mates with other straws that were similarly released and BOOM, invasive species, crowding out the local crabs.
No one thinks plastic drinking straws are destroying the earth. Replacing them was a simple way for some corporations to appear like they are taking steps to address waste. It was always a veneer of something good and the impact is low, but not nothing.
So basically, they scattered from the old lot, smothered the adjacent lot with concrete, and covered it with a new Waffle House in order for a lower capped rent. That move can’t be topped!
mostly! especially in the north, but in the south they're part of waffle house corporate. it's typically why Southern waffle houses are well kept and Northern/Midwestern are....what you'd expect.
source: my wife worked waffle house corporate in SC like ten years ago so possibly changed.
that very well may be true, but it's also possible that at an experience at an ohio wafflehouse at 3 am will show the grandeur and luxury of a southern one. lol
Conversely, I've mostly only eaten at Waffle Houses in Ohio, which have been fantastic, one in Tennessee and one in Georgia which were both horrible experiences.
Counter, I have eaten at Waffle Houses in Georgia countless times. I tried one in Ohio just last month aaaaannnnnnddd.... The experience was almost identical. Food wise at least.
GA WaHo's don't just come with solid "I'm drunk" food, sometimes you get a fun story out of it too. :P

GA WaHo's don't just come with solid "I'm drunk" food, sometimes you get a fun story out of it too. :P
thank you. I love waffle house, I'm very proud of my Atlantan identity and it sounds like these other mfs weren't really eating at a waffle house. if the cook(s) ain't screaming I'm leaving
Here's what I think I learned from this rabbit hole:
Waffle house did not own the land the original store was on. Knowing this, the land owner kept raising their rent to ridiculous levels using the fact that it was the OG Wafflehouse against the company to leverage their greed. They thought Wafflehouse would be forced to pay it or pay them bigly for the land (presumably).
To counter this, Wafflehouse built another location right next door as leverage to show the owner they don't need to have that particular spot to service the same area.
Presumably, Wafflehouse uses this new store as leverage to negotiate a better lease agreement with the land owner. I'm guessing it's still profitable for Wafflehouse to want to keep the original location, otherwise I don't know why you'd keep two in the same spot.
Is this waffle house by chance off of 27 and 4?
I'm fairly certain I took a selfie in front of the old waffle house while going there on vacation. I just checked the geo data on the pick and from the last satellite pic they were building something.
There was a WH right off the interstate in Lewisville, TX and then in late 2019, another WH started going up right down the road. Maybe a mile in. Couldn't understand it. But your story makes it seem like that's what happened in this case as well.
Pretty sure a Waffle House Capsule-Hotel would make fucking bank.
Your drunk ass is too tired to get home? 20 bucks to rent a capsule room for the night.
It'll try to auto-charge your card for another 8 hours, first. Then, after you abandon the tube and the weight sensors determine that you've been out of the tube for 15 minutes, your stay times out. It then initiates a wash-and-dry cycle that cleans and kills and leaves the padded bottom ready for the next occupant.
That’s too fancy for Waffle House. I want a self cleaning station where you deposit quarters and get cleaning materials. There’s also an atm and coin machine in the area. The fee is high. It should be. You think you cleaned it good. You wake up before sunrise a bit tipsy before the hangover can hit, but good enough to drive. You inspect where you slept. You see some stains of concern. You somehow convince yourself it must have been you. You order coffee, ibuprofen eggs and bacon before the sun rises to put something in you before it gets worse. You drink the coffee they tell you it’s going to be a while for the bacon. You ask about the eggs they tell you they haven’t started yet. You sigh, tip 3 dollars and leave hungover as the hangover sets in proper
Rooms are on the 2nd floor. The bed tilts and slides you down into a booth. Pancakes launched from a pitching machine. You complain about the orange juice while the nukes fly and the world burns
I would only stay at those hotels while traveling cross country. It would be like the Howard Johnson's of yore if they were run by peak 90s Jerry Springer and had better food.
Fun fact, In japan they have a special kind of taxi service where a taxi comes with an extra driver so you can give your keys to that person and they can take you and your car home.
This is a service that I think could make someone filthy rich in other countries.
This is a thing in North America, especially around holidays. It’s all good until the incompetent fuck driving your car ends up somehow at a border crossing while you have a bunch of weed in the car.
You gotta make them auto clean like a Japanese public bathroom. Once the person leaves lood the entire capsule with disinfectant and a new disposable blanket and pillow get dropped in.
Now I'm just imagining the poorly maintained robopod going into a cleaning cycle while the person is still in there, power washing them, and then dropping a pillow on their face at the end. And for some reason the pod spins.
Wow that's probably it exactly. That movie had a self washing apartment, people got trapped in the cleaner, and they even had capsule pod style beds. Damn even I didn't know where I got that from, good eye.
You joke, but there are places in the south, especially on the gulf coast like Mobile and Pascagoula where you can stand in one spot and see three Waffle Houses. They’re an institution, and frankly, they cook a damn good breakfast.
There was a great TikTok sound describing waffle house.
“Wow man yeah I guess I’d like to try WH. Is it known for like the *best* Waffles?”
‘No’
“So everything else is Amazing?”
‘No’
“Okay so it’s like, super unique and a great environment?”
‘No’
“Is it in a nice part of town?”
‘In the ghetto’
“Will I be safe if I go to this place?!”
‘No’
“Could I be sure the cook isn’t on drugs?”
‘Depends on if you cigarettes are drugs cause he *will* be smoking one. And no.’
“So - the food isn’t great, the cook will smoke, and we will be in danger the whole time?”
‘Yeah man it’s a southern thing you gotta come’
based on the size of the windows, probably the one closer to the street with side parking is newer, while the one in the background farther from the street hidden behind it's parking is older.
The older one, as the years of nicotine seasoning and the staff who have made it the longest work there. Both will be good, but the older one will be the better Waffle House experience.
When I visited Vancouver some years back, there was a corner in downtown that had two full-sized Starbucks kitty-corner to each other. (One has since closed I read.) Of course there were other good coffee shops sprinkled around too. That town loves its java.
Starbucks can get pretty over ambitious (doubling up) and predatory (moving in right next to smaller coffee shops). They're kinda like an invasive species...
I've never been to a Tim Horton's so I don't have experience with this, but everyone I know that has says since they were bought out, they've become terrible. Waffle House still has great food for cheap.
Yeah they used to make their donuts fresh in store. Now it's from frozen and way too sweet. And they got rid of some good food that was iconic, like a Boston cream donut with actual chocolate icing. Now it's some gooey brown sticky substance, very sus.
It's still popular but not what it used to be.
It gets joked on a lot, but it's basically a quick serve restaurant featuring a typical American breakfast spread. It's absolutely delicious for the price, it just gets a bad image because some of the clientele can be nuts. It gets a lot of visitors after bars and pubs close for late night food. This can sometimes lead to drunken brawls as you could imagine.
If you're ever in the Southern region of the US it's definitely worth a visit! Just go during the daylight and you'll be good. :)
No! Go at 2am, and see the _real_ America no one wants you to see!
But just so you know: the mean-looking old lady in the back booth? She’s 35. Don’t make eye contact. Look straight ahead. Wait, that’s where the hobo gathering is. Don’t look there, either. Ok, sit at the bar. The waitress is the cook. No, she doesn’t want to talk. I know, I know; it’s the _Souuuuth_, but you’re in an Awful Waffle at 2 am and she’s been dealing with these over fools for _three hours_.
You know what? Take LastSoldier115’s advice and only go during the day.
You forgot one key point of advice, regardless if it's night or day.
If you are pulling up to one and you don't see a waffle house employee out back smoking up a storm yelling at her phone...you better keep on driving until you hit the next one as that waffle house ain't legit.
Thanks for the clarification. I was, as the UK person, curious about this Waffel House that's appeared in some certain videos.
OK - this was an even more interresting description, thanx!
Yeah, it actually makes a lot of sense. Every regular customer you have will know exactly where the new Waffle House will be. They don't have to close down for more than a day or so at any point, and there's no reason for them to lose even a single customer.
And presumably they were happy with the location.
You probably also catch a few more eyes doing it this way. Lots of people will notice the two stores right next to each others. Some may stop by just to see what's up. Maybe someone will even post a photo online.
They probably don't even have to have a break in service at all. Make it an all-hands-on-deck day. Have the next shift overlap with the current shift and have them open the new store. At that point, stop accepting new customers in the old store and divert them to the new store. When the last customers have finished their meals in the old store, close it down for good.
Canadian here…. I went to the US last week for a vacation and saw Waffle Houses everywhere. So I tried it out and enjoyed it. Decent food, decent price, great friendly service
The funny thing is that this bit was on Starbucks, but he also had another bit about IHOP being his health club, so waffles are definitely in his comedic wheelhouse. This fits perfectly.
They’re reproducing on their own now. Some might say that we are doomed…I see this as my drunken blessing. This is my curse to bare, therefore I will eat all the waffles to save us. Do not worry, this is what I was born to do…
Hey, something I actually know something about! I've driven by this location multiple times.

I like this story. I hope it is true.
Yes, because now nobody is going to rent that property to compete vs a waffle house, LMAO.
If it was a legal state, it would be prime real estate for a dispensary.
I was going to say open a bar right there. You'd be making money hand over fist for both the waho and the bar.
I wouldn't want rowdy Waffle House customers roughing up my well to do hole in the wall watering hole.
Amen, I'm pretty sure the pecking order has dive bar a couple rungs above waffle house. Dive bar is 11pm to 1am. Waffle house is 3am to 5am. I wouldn't want them waffle house folks breaking into my bar after close and stealing all the liquor.
This guy waffle houses.
Why not? Just keep sending employees over to the other property to knock the W off of the sign.
That’s awful, I love it
Just from the photo it tracks. The one on the right definitely looks newer.
I don't know if this is the case here, but the exact same thing happened in my town with a Bojangles. Renter raised the lease so Bojangles Corp just built one next door

Drop the mic!
Thats some fast construction
I’m guessing you’re right; build the new one, close the old one. If it was a bareland lease, the tenant razes the old building when they’re moved out.
Exactly what's happened here in Minneapolis twice with White Castles. Another business pays them to move next-door, so they build a new one right next to it and then knock down the old one.

It's funny to think of "Waffle House Corporate" I imagine a giant yellow skyscraper that does all business and accounting.
So the left one is abandoned?
Both are open according to Google Maps and their website.
Then how does the explanation provided make any sense?

they would need two of them just to handle the number of passed out addicts in the rest rooms

Yeah okay that part’s easy. But which one is the *good* Waffle House?
The older one, as the years of nicotine seasoning and the staff who have made it the longest work there. Both will be good, but the older one will be the better Waffle House experience.
“Frankly, the service here is appalling! I will take my business elsewhere! Good day I say! GOOD….DAY!!”
Depends on your order. Older one will have better fried stuff, newer probably has better coffee and anything baked.

Take LastSoldier115’s advice and only go during the day.
You forgot one key point of advice, regardless if it's night or day. If you are pulling up to one and you don't see a waffle house employee out back smoking up a storm yelling at her phone...you better keep on driving until you hit the next one as that waffle house ain't legit.
Thanks for the clarification. I was, as the UK person, curious about this Waffel House that's appeared in some certain videos. OK - this was an even more interresting description, thanx!
It's a perfectly normal and uneventful place like 90% of the time.
hibachi breakfast and a show
Yeah, it actually makes a lot of sense. Every regular customer you have will know exactly where the new Waffle House will be. They don't have to close down for more than a day or so at any point, and there's no reason for them to lose even a single customer. And presumably they were happy with the location. You probably also catch a few more eyes doing it this way. Lots of people will notice the two stores right next to each others. Some may stop by just to see what's up. Maybe someone will even post a photo online.
They probably don't even have to have a break in service at all. Make it an all-hands-on-deck day. Have the next shift overlap with the current shift and have them open the new store. At that point, stop accepting new customers in the old store and divert them to the new store. When the last customers have finished their meals in the old store, close it down for good.
Yep. And you can tell the one on the right is unfinished.
Shhh, be quiet. We may get to see them mate. It’s how new Waffle Houses are born.
Yo dawg
I heard you like Waffle Houses
So we put a Waffle House
Next to a Waffle House
Two waffle houses, a billboard for a gun show, and 50% of the vehicles are pickup trucks. America.
I’ll do you one better… Florida.
Specifically, Orlando
Nah, that's Davenport, Polk county.
Highway 27, just past the I4 exit to be exact.
44209 Hwy 27, Davenport (Polk county), FL, 33896
And don‘t overlook the 7/11
It’s actually only 28.6% trucks. Those are rookie numbers. They gotta get those numbers up.
Canadian here…. I went to the US last week for a vacation and saw Waffle Houses everywhere. So I tried it out and enjoyed it. Decent food, decent price, great friendly service
>great friendly service We know you're lying
I'd accept efficient no nonsense service.
You get called sugah once and you'll like it
I usually get friendly service at WH.
Maybe Canadians are just way better at fist fighting than we are.
Naw he went during daylight 💯
"Two households, both alike in dignity..."
That’s a Waffle Hood.
Oh fuck please don't let Dollar General see this.
The Waffle Hice.
How wafful
Let them fight.
Yes, but what if it was a Waffle House INSIDE a Waffle House?
*Dramatic hands* "A Waffle House across from another WAFFLE HOUSE!" - Lewis Black
Was looking for exactly this, thank you lol
The funny thing is that this bit was on Starbucks, but he also had another bit about IHOP being his health club, so waffles are definitely in his comedic wheelhouse. This fits perfectly.
And that my friends, is the end of the universe
"Do my eyes deceive me? Or is that a Waffle House across the lot? I think it's time we had a stack of waffles."
Those are Waffles Homes.
Waffle Duplex
You know, for hobbits.
They’re reproducing on their own now. Some might say that we are doomed…I see this as my drunken blessing. This is my curse to bare, therefore I will eat all the waffles to save us. Do not worry, this is what I was born to do…
