MACON, GA - Georgia is arguably the heartland of Waffle House, with approximately 445 locations scattered throughout the state, according to ScrapeHero.

This makes Georgia the state with the highest concentration of Waffle House restaurants in the country.

According to Waffle House, founded in 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia, Waffle House has become a beloved Southern institution known for its 24-hour service, casual atmosphere, and a menu that offers comfort food staples like waffles, hash browns, and grits.

The chain's headquarters remains near Atlanta in Norcross, reinforcing its strong ties to the region, according to Waffle House.
