American Waffle Company--Smart Growth!
I had an opportunity over the weekend to visit the new American Waffle Company on Church Street. This new eatery opened in an abandoned Cheesesteak Factory location in an old strip mall with multiple vacancies (Why are we currently building new strip malls in the 'boro, then?) It is within walking distance of the Summerlake and Indian Park apartments. It is pretty much the same fare as you'd get at Waffle House. The waffles smelled really good, but I hardly ever buy breakfast out as I can do a superior job with that meal at home. I hope the restaurant is able to make a go of it. With the apartments so close, it offers a "green" choice for eating out, because you don't have to drive to get there. With the offices and banks nearby, they should do a respectable lunch business, although nearby Sonic offers some stiff competition for affordable burgers. I plan to visit them again, especially in the summer when I'm off.

We ate there 3-4 times so far (as of 5-10-09). We live in Waterford place (about a mile from the resturant). The place reminds me of a Huddle house (they have locations in Christiana I-24 Exit 89 & one in Sheblyville on 231). Was good food. They only draw back is if you are not careful the bill can add up fast. If you bargin shop though it is a good experience. They are fixin' to open a second location on Memorial near Cici's & Goodwill (I can't remember the name of the side street). I wish them luck.
I went to the Memorial Boulevard Store and waited 15 minutes. During that time, I was not offered a menu, a glass of water or the opportunity to order.
