Huddle House is a chain of 24-hour diner-style restaurants with over 430 locations in over 21 states, primarily found in Southern United States. The chain was started in 1964 in Decatur, Georgia by John Sparks, with the goal of providing a 24-hour eatery. It is named after the act of huddling in football. The original Huddle House in Decatur was established to give fans a place to eat after "the big game" on Friday nights. Its competitors include Waffle House, IHOP, Cracker Barrel, Denny's, and Bob Evans.

Famous quotes containing the words huddle and/or house:
“Are you cold too, poor Pleiads,
This frosty night?
Yes, and so are the Hyads:
See us cuddle and hug, says the Pleiads,
All six in a ring: it keeps us warm:
We huddle together like birds in a storm:”
—Robert Graves (18951985)
“My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whatever satisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
