The backstory
After 37 years in business, Waffle Way closed Nov. 2, 2024, according to previous Community Impact reporting. The restaurant opened in Grapevine in 1987 and served breakfast and lunch options like waffles, hot cakes, omelets, hot beef sandwiches, patty melts, a chef's salad and Frito chili pie.
Owner Natasha Hawkins-Thompson said in an Oct. 1 Facebook post that the rise of operation costs and dwindling business traffic were the reasons behind the restaurant's closing.
