Waffle House Hosts Romantic Candlelit Valentine’s Dinner at Over 200 Locations Across the Country
Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel weighs in on RFK Jr.’s efforts to make America healthier as he targets sugar and food dyes and his potential decision to drop COVID vaccines for kids.
Love may be in the air this Valentine’s Day — along with the enticing aroma of hash browns — as Waffle House dims its signature yellow lights at select locations for its annual candlelit tradition.
This year marks the 18th annual Valentine’s Day dinner event, with reservations available at 218 Waffle House locations across 22 states. This offers a budget-friendly alternative to traditional Valentine’s dining, especially as consumers remain price-conscious amid rising food and restaurant costs.
“Guests can look forward to white tablecloths and special touches unique to each participating location,” a spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “Waffle House strives to be a special Valentine’s tradition for couples, families, and friends.”

This year also marks the first time the beloved restaurant has offered online reservations. However, a Waffle House spokesperson noted that “many of these locations are full.” High- and low-counter seating will remain open for walk-ins on February 14.

Valentine’s Day is the only night that Waffle House accepts reservations throughout the entire year. This special evening reportedly began in 2008 at a restaurant in Johns Creek, Ga. Regular customers chose to celebrate Valentine’s Day there each year, prompting the manager to make the event extra romantic.

The company has long emphasized affordability and emotional connection over upscale dining. Prices vary by location, but menu items like waffles and sandwiches generally cost between $5 and $7, while more elaborate meals — including a steak or pork chop — can top $15. This price gap stands out as many sit-down restaurants offer fixed-price Valentine’s menus that can cost several times more for a couple.
Waffle House CEO Walt Ehmer says managers are ‘making calls on the ground’ as to whether or not it’s safe enough to operate during a hurricane.
The event comes as Americans continue to adjust their spending habits, with restaurant prices remaining elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels. Many consumers are cutting back on discretionary dining while still looking for ways to celebrate special occasions. With a strong footprint across Southern and Midwest states, Waffle House’s Valentine’s tradition resonates in regions where cost-of-living pressures vary, but price sensitivity remains high for many couples and families.
As Valentine’s Day reservations are location-specific and limited, a full list of participating restaurants and online booking options is available on Waffle House’s website.
