Waffle House Museum has spring opening
If you find yourself around Avondale Estates today and feel the all-too-human urge to get your scattering and smothering from a food truck, then you’re in luck. The Waffle House Museum will have its spring opening from noon to 3 p.m. After touring the 1955 diner replica on the site of the original Waffle House, you can enjoy hashbrowns from the truck parked in front. This event is free to the public.
The Waffle House Museum is located at 2719 E. College Ave, Decatur, GA 30030.
