I have to them in Memphis, Jackson and Biloxi for sure.
Probably other places, can't remember exactly where.
Was surprised to see that FedEx Fred Smith's Dad was Toddle House Prez.
We once had one here in Albuquerque, down on Central, Route 66.
The buildings are very distinctive and mostly look alike.

Toddle House - Wikipedia

We had one on Bissonnet St, a couple miles west of the Southwest Fwy in Houston. It was down the road from the pool hall we inhabited almost every night and was a favorite stop on the way home after the bar closed. It closed down and was taken over by our present greasy spoon breakfast house, IHOP. Mom likes to go to IHOP when she needs a pancake fix, and who am I to argue with Mom? When she wants her fried catfish fix we go to Cracker Barrel and I get the Sirloin and eggs, with a side of gravy to dip the sirloin in. Eggs over easy to cut up and mix with the hashbrowns.
