More about this list

Famous for never closing — the FEMA "Waffle House Index" informally measures storm severity by whether local Waffle Houses are still serving — the chain has built one of the most recognizable Southeastern restaurant footprints in the country. This dataset provides the complete list of Waffle House locations with verified addresses, phone numbers, and GPS coordinates sourced from the official Waffle House locator. Commercial real estate analysts use it to map Southeastern retail corridors, food service distributors plan route density against it, and researchers studying 24-hour restaurant economics rely on its geographic completeness. Updated weekly.

The file has all 2,110 locations across 25 states in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

How we build and date every file: methodology.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?

No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the Waffle House Restaurant Locations and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=waffle-house-stores with the filters you need and show you the count and price.

Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.

How assistants ask

No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.

If a question needs filtering, distance, drive time, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.

Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>

Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&drive=<minutes>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>

Leave out what the question does not need. Use radius for straight-line miles or drive for minutes of driving (5 to 60), not both; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.

Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:

Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:

Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the Waffle House Restaurant Locations list.

Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.

For developers

At 2,110 records this dataset is not sold by the row — buy the file. Without a connector, open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=waffle-house-stores. An agent connected to https://locationlists.com/mcp can still search it, read a free sample file of up to 10 rows and buy the whole file itself. How agent purchasing works
