Waffle House operates 2,110 always-open diner locations across 25 states, with its densest concentration in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. 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.
