Waffle House is the GOAT chain breakfast spot IMO. This is the one on College Dr that doesn’t look like most other Waffle Houses, and shares a wall with Port Royale.

The iconic College Drive Waffle House is set to expand, taking over part of the former Port Royal lounge and converting it into an area for to-go orders.

The chain submitted a building permit earlier this week that calls for turning a 583-square foot section of the adjoining bar into a new storefront for takeout pickups. The wall between the restaurant and the bar would be torn down to connect the properties. The remaining part of Port Royal would be demolished.


Perhaps more importantly - they also submitted plans to the city to build a new one right near LSU across from the new Rouses on Lee Drive.

So LSU students will be able to get either Chick Fil A, Raising Cane’s, Whatsburger, or Waffle House pretty much in the same neighborhood. Not healthy, just awesome.

The private security detail at that place pays off duty cops around $50 an hour.

It still isn’t worth the hassle and headache.

I once rode in the back of a random persons truck no shirt no shoes and still got service in that Waffle House when I was in college at about 4:30 in the morning. If there’s one thing about Waffle House, it always delivers

I use this as proof that Fed monetary policy is too loose; nothing that ridiculously bougie and overpriced has any reason to succeed

Went there once. It was dirty and trashy.

Imagine a place that the Denham Springs crowd thinks is cool, and you'd have Port Royale. So you can imagine how that Waffle House was after 11PM.

I recently learned what bougie means. I’ll try to use it verbally in a sentence today.

I feel like a super dope Gen Z’er now. Maybe I should try some overpriced, hoppy beer later.

I misread that and thought they were putting it by mathernes! That would be a game day nightmare, but I’d love to see it.

Waffle House only shuts down if it’s a direct hit from a major, major hurricane. And even then, only a couple of hours before impact.
