Waffle Houses tend to be (but not always) in poor or low class areas.
They are usually 24 hours as well.
So you have bunch of poor or low class people leaving the nights clubs/bars drunk at 3 to 5AM, so Waffle House is the only open for them that serves warm food and coffee.
Same type of hood shit happens at any McDonald's/IHOP/Steak&Shake open in the same areas at the same times. Waffle House Corporate is willing to keep their establishments open during those time, while a McDonald's will open the drive through and IHOP/Steak & Shake will close the bad stores.
Yeah, I noticed that even though all the McDonald's locations are 24/7 in my area they close the lobby at 10 or 11 every night even in nicer locations, probably for this reason. No one looking to hang out in a restaurant at 3 in the morning is going to act like a civilized human being.
I got that advice in the Air Force (nothing good happens after 2am) and that has proven to be solid wisdom. Unfortunately a few times in my youth I learned that lesson the hard way.

Yep. Still the crusty old sergeant who told us that knew what he was talking about from experience most likely.
