Waffle House Monkey Junction

When Joe Rogers, Sr. bought a house from Tom Forkner in Avondale Estates, GA in 1949, neither one knew where that relationship would take them. In 1955, the two opened a small restaurant with the goal of serving quality food to their neighbors. Through the years, they added a restaurant here and a restaurant there, and now 50 years later that small chain of restaurants has multiplied into today’s Waffle House system of more than 1,500 restaurants in 25 states. The Waffle House Experience means different things to different people. It could be a bowl of Bert’s Chili, a glass of Alice’s Iced Tea or just the friendly face behind the counter.
