SAN ANTONIO – When we polled our viewers what restaurant should open up in San Antonio, one name kept coming up: Waffle House.

The Georgia-based diner that serves breakfast food 24-7 has locations across the nation, but none in the Alamo City. The closest we’ve come to getting the chain here was a pop-up food truck last year for National Waffle Week in downtown.

If there is anything I learned from my time in a Virginia is that there is nothing better than a Bo-berry biscuit from Bojangels. Second to that, nothing cures a hangover better than Waffle House. Therefore. Please bring us both.

Bojangles!!! Whenever we go back to visit family in VA and the south we go. The steak biscuits are sublime (essentially a tender chicken fried steak on a tender biscuit) and dirty rice! So so do good!!
