The new Waffle House will be located in the Walmart-anchored Rudder&#8217;s Landing, a new commercial development near the intersection of West Villa Maria Road and Harvey Mitchell Parkway, about an 11-minute drive from Texas A&amp;M.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no better place for Waffle House&#8217;s next expansion than Bryan, Texas,&#8221; Bryan Mayor Bobby Gutierrez said in the Facebook post. &#8220;Personal relationships matter; you never know where they will take you. We listen to our residents. They have been asking for a Waffle House for years, and we&#8217;re thrilled to bring them this news. Our discussions with Waffle House have been enjoyable, productive and beneficial, allowing us to bring one of the most-requested businesses to Aggieland.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The construction timeline is still to be determined, but now Waffle House fans won&#8217;t have to drive 70 miles to Conroe and Cypress to try the restaurant. Well, scratch that, Waffle House fans in Bryan won&#8217;t have to drive 70 miles. If you&#8217;re a Waffle House fan in San Antonio, fuel up that gas tank.<\/p>\n<p>The closest Waffle House to San Antonio is 60 miles up I-35 in Kyle and there has still been no announcement as to when, if ever, the Alamo City will get its own breakfast chain.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the news, Waffle House officials told MySA, &#8220;While we don\u2019t have any immediate plans to expand to San Antonio, we never say never.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Look away, San Antonio waffle fans.
