The restaurant was restored to look almost as it did in 1955, when it opened. 83-year old Bill McCraney of Stone Mountain was a frequent patron:
MCCRANEY: I was working at the airport as a mechanic for the airline, and I'd eat breakfast here when I was on the afternoon shift, or the night shift, and I would sit here in this front booth -- it used to have a booth here. And I would sit there and eat breakfast most every morning with a female attorney named Adrian Black.
Lucy Shelton, was there, too. The 83-year old worked at the restaurants for 48 years, and everyone there knows her:
SHELTON: I was waitress, cook, I was all-around person. Run the grill, anything, you name it, I could do.
Today, Waffle House has more than 1,500 locations in 25 states.
