The closest waffle house is almost an hour away from the city limits.

Waffle house is the only restaurant around here that returned to normal operating hours after COVID sadly

It's also not the worst drive ever, 376 to 79 and out to Washington

I really just feel bad for the kids these days man, 1am and every Sheetz parking lot is full, not because Sheetz is just "the place to be", but because there's nowhere else to go that late.

It isn't "after COVID", and a good indicator of that is that so many of these places are still operating on reduced hours, hope this helps.

Waffle House is a half hour drive from Lawrenceville with no traffic (so that fits middle of the night criteria). Not bad at all

So it's never a half hour drive from Lawrenceville

I'm just saying it would be at midnight/1AM, so when you would need to go to a 24/7 restaurant

I don't think the sort of people looking to go to a restaurant at 1 AM are in any shape to drive to Washington, but YMMV.

It's an easy half hour and it's probably only 35 minutes even with traffic.
