The restaurant would be built in West Bryan within the Rudder’s Landing development at the intersection of W. Villa Maria Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway.The location would be the area’s first Waffle House — currently, residents must drive around 70 miles to reach the nearest locations in Conroe and Cypress.Bryan Mayor Bobby Gutierrez said in a Facebook post that he has worked with the Waffle House team and city staff for months to move the project forward.“There is no better place for Waffle House’s next expansion than Bryan, Texas,” Gutierrez said in the city’s news release. “ … We listen to our residents. They have been asking for a Waffle House for years, and we’re thrilled to bring them this news.”An October survey from Grow College Station showed that Waffle House was the most requested restaurant by College Station residents. The chain was ranked ahead of several other restaurants, including In-N-Out Burger, Hat Creek Burger Company and Grimaldi’s Pizza.Economics junior Maxine Buena is among the students who have been hoping for a Waffle House.“I remember thinking, oh my gosh, this is finally happening,” Buena said. “I feel like people have been saying, ‘Oh, they’re gonna build a Waffle House here,’ and it’s never happened. Now, it’s actually finally happening.”For Buena, part of that excitement stems from fond memories tied to the chain’s 24/7 operating hours.“When we would go on road trips, we would always stop by Waffle House, especially if it’s late at night,” Buena said.General studies sophomore Case Luckman also pointed to late-night meals.“You’re in a pinch, and you need some dinner at 2 a.m., you can just go there,” Luckman said. “Every time I’ve gone, it’s a great time. The service might not be the best, but the vibes are there.”Political science senior Asher Brown said he and his friends once traveled nearly an hour for a Waffle House. For him, the food wasn’t great, but the experience was worth it. “It’s like Denny’s, but it’s not Denny’s,” Brown said. “Waffle House just has a different level of aura.”Beyond the food and atmosphere, Brown said the new Waffle House speaks to a bigger concern about the city’s identity. According to him, the high-rises in the Northgate area have made some worry that College Station is losing its college-town feel. Waffle House is part of the answer.“Waffle House sort of represents the epitome of college-town culture,” Brown said.For now, the project remains early in the city’s development process. Gutierrez has said in his Facebook post that there is still work to be done, and the city’s news release states timelines for construction and opening still need to be determined by Waffle House, Inc.</div></body>
