    At one Waffle House, patrons wait up to six months to get in — and they don’t even get breakfast.

    Constructed at the site of the first-ever Waffle House, the establishment is located in Decatur, Georgia. However, it’s not a true diner, but a Waffle House Museum with a seriously long wait list.

    According to Thrillist , the Museum is a recreation of the original eatery, complete with vintage mugs, menus and furnishings that transport visitors back to its opening in 1955.

    Because of its odd operating hours, the museum has become a hot commodity, with tour slots booked through the end of the year already. Waffle House

    The restaurant was founded by Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner on Labor Day 69 years ago.

    While the kitchen doesn’t actually produce any waffles, guests can sit at the retro countertop or wear a staffer’s hat and pretend they’re serving up diner dishes.

    They can also play songs on the jukebox or listen to audio recordings of the founders to learn about the history of the chain restaurant.

    Viewers can also learn more about the Waffle House Index , which has been used to measure the severity of storms depending on if a local Waffle House location — which is typically open 24 hours a day — is open or closed for business.

    With a wait list spanning months, you’d think there would be another Lana del Rey sighting , but the museum operates with limited capacity and hours, only offering timed tours for 20 people twice per day — and only on Wednesdays.

    Private tours are booked through the end of the year, per Thrillist, although the museum is offering an open house on Sept. 7 and Dec. 7 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

    Those hankering for a tour next year will need to wait until December to book for 2025.
