Waffle House: No Immediate Plans To Open New Jersey Location

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — The rumors swirling around social media in Lambertville that a Waffle House is coming to Route 179 near the new Dollar General store are unfounded, according to an official with the southern chain of waffle-making shops.

When Patch saw the postings on Lambertville Facebook pages, the news organization reached out to the chain to find out if the rumors were true.

"We currently do not have any immediate plans to open a New Jersey location," writes Njeri Boss, the vice president of food safety and public relations for Waffle House in an emailed response. "I am not sure where those rumors came from, but they are incorrect."

Known for its signature yellow and black signs, Waffle House has more than 1,900 locations in 25 states. All are open 24-hours a day, seven days a week. There are no Waffle Houses in New Jersey.

While northern fans of the Waffle House may be disappointed in that bit of news, the good news is there are plenty of other places to find delicious waffles in the river towns of Lambertville and New Hope. Here are just a few:

Hash House, 236 North Union Street, Lambertville

Lambertville Station, 11 Bridge Street, Lambertville (Brunch)

Liv & Charlies, 5 North Union Street, Lambertville

Nina's Waffles and Ice Cream, 110 South Main Street, New Hope
