Miami’s First-Ever Waffle House Debuts Today | Eater Miami

"I'm excited that Waffle House is finally debuting its first Miami‑Dade location today at 2 p.m. at 19675 NW Second Avenue in Miami Gardens; the 24‑hour diner — part of a chain with more than 2,000 locations and 63 years in business — hired 50 employees for this spot and plans to stay open around the clock. Known for a no‑frills atmosphere, cheap pricing and late‑night dining, the beloved chain prepares all food fresh, cooked to order in a kitchen that's in full view, with a breakfast‑focused menu featuring multiple signature meals. It's even famous enough that FEMA informally uses a 'Waffle House Index' to gauge storm severity: green when stores are up and running, red when they're closed." - Olee Fowler
