Waffle House Turns 70: Here’s What You Can Get
Waffle House officially turns 70 on September 5, 2025, and the chain is kicking off the party starting today, August 24 (National Waffle Day) with a limited-time menu item and a few fun perks.
What’s new (and free)
- Limited-Edition “Birthday Cake Waffle” (starts Aug 24): A classic waffle topped with birthday-cake bites, confetti crunch, and whipped cream available for a limited time at participating locations. Check your local store before you go.
- Free Birthday Waffle (ongoing): Join the Waffle House Regulars Club to get a free classic waffle on your birthday (plus a free order of hashbrowns just for signing up). Offers can change and vary by location. Giveaways on Instagram: Waffle House is teasing birthday giveaways, worth a follow while the anniversary festivities roll.
One-day museum celebration
If you’re near Atlanta, the Waffle House Museum (Avondale Estates) will host a free open house on Saturday, Sept. 6, 11 a.m.–2 p.m., with a food truck handing out free Birthday Cake Waffles. The museum typically runs by appointment and offers occasional Saturday open houses; so this is a rare drop-in day.
