Waffle House: A Breakfast Classic

Chances are you’ve seen the big, black block letters on the yellow Waffle House sign. But did you know that the budget friendly, down-home eatery has been around since 1955? Since then, they’ve served almost a billion waffles. And the La Porte outlet continues the restaurant's history of quality.

Breakfast is a favorite time to stop by for – what else? – Waffles with eggs & bacon, sausage or ham, Buttermilk Pancakes, Steak & Eggs, or a Fiesta Omelet with ham, cheese, onions, tomatoes & jalapeno peppers. Later in the day you can put the hammer down on your appetite with a Double Angus Cheeseburger, Texas Cheese Steak Melt, Papa Joe's Pork Chops, Grilled Chicken, or Bert's Best Bowl Of Chili.

La Porte's Waffle House is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it's just a short distance from Plaza at San Jacinto.
