Waffle House Inc. operates a chain of about 1,400 Waffle House Restaurants located in 25 states. The restaurants, which are either company-owned or franchised, pride themselves on serving good food fast, at a reasonable price, in a diner atmosphere 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The menu includes everything from waffles and eggs to steaks and salads. Family-owned, Waffle House Inc. is known for being an extremely private company. In recent years, however, the company has found itself in the public spotlight, due to lawsuits filed against the company relating to civil rights violations and sexual harassment.
