Signature Hashbrown Bowls

Built on a bed of crispy scattered hashbrowns or stone-ground grits, then loaded with eggs, cheese, and your choice of protein. Every bowl is $10.30 (except the breakfast bowls at $11.85).

The Build Your Own option lets you start with hashbrowns or grits and stack your favorite combination. This is where Waffle House regulars get creative, and it’s also where most of the secret menu hashbrown combinations come from.

Texas Melts

Every Texas Melt is grilled on thick, butter-toasted Texas bread. All are priced at $6.50 as a standalone melt, or $9.30 when ordered as a meal with hashbrowns.

• Texas Cheesesteak Melt — $6.50 | 645 cal: Sliced steak, grilled onions, melted cheese.
• Texas Patty Melt — $6.50 | 735 cal: 1/4 lb Angus patty, cheese, grilled onions.
• Texas Chicken Melt — $6.50 | 655 cal: Grilled chicken, cheese, onions.
• Texas Sausage Melt — $6.50 | 775 cal: Sausage patty, cheese, onions.

If you want the full lunch experience, order any Texas Melt with Hashbrowns for $9.30. It’s the best lunch deal on the menu.

Breakfast Sandwiches & Melts

Quick, hot, and easy. Perfect for grab-and-go.

The Texas versions are grilled on Texas toast, which makes them noticeably better than the regular bread version for an extra 30 cents.

Waffles Menu

Waffles are the star of the show. Light, Belgian-style, and made from a recipe Waffle House has used since 1955.

Pro tip: Order any waffle “double” for an extra waffle on the side. It’s the cheapest way to feed two people from one ticket, and it’s one of the most-requested items on the unofficial Waffle House secret menu.

 Biscuits Menu

Soft, buttery, Southern-style biscuits made fresh in-house every morning.

The Grilled Biscuit & Gravy at $3.15 is the most underrated item on the entire menu.

Lunch & Dinner Favorites

Yes, Waffle House does dinner. Most plates come with hashbrowns built in, which makes them a complete meal.

Papa Joe’s Porkchop Dinner is named after the founder, Joe Rogers Sr. It’s hand-breaded, grilled, and served with two sides. At $12.60 it’s a huge plate of food. For the full calorie and macro details, check our Waffle House nutrition facts page.

Sandwiches Menu

Simple, classic diner sandwiches. Perfect for a light lunch.

The Bacon Lover’s BLT is loaded with double bacon. Worth every penny.

100% Angus Beef Burgers

Made with fresh Angus beef, smashed and seared on the flat-top grill.

• Angus 1/4 Lb Hamburger — $6.50 | 570 cal
• Double Angus 1/4 Lb Hamburger — $8.75 | 790 cal

Add hashbrowns for the Deluxe version at $9.30.

Sides & Add-Ons

Beverages

Every drink (except Simply juices) is $2.65 for a large.

• Kids Sausage, Egg & Cheese — $5.95
• Kids Waffle — $4.95

Hashbrown Toppings Guide (The Famous Lingo)

Hashbrowns are made-to-order on the flat-top grill. You customize them using the chain’s official toppings vocabulary. Memorize this list and you’ll order like a regular.

The most-ordered combo in America is “Scattered, Smothered, Covered, and Chunked.” Say it out loud the next time you walk in.

Cheapest Items on the Waffle House Menu

If you’re eating on a tight budget, here’s the under-$6 hit list for 2026:

You can leave Waffle House full and happy for under $8 with a sandwich, hashbrowns, and a coffee.

Is Waffle House Cheap? (Price Comparison vs. IHOP, Denny’s, Cracker Barrel)

Yes. Waffle House is consistently the cheapest sit-down breakfast chain in the country.

Waffle House runs roughly 20 to 35% cheaper than IHOP and Denny’s for an equivalent plate, and the food usually hits the table in under 10 minutes. That’s the Waffle House promise.

Do Waffle House Prices Vary by Location?

Yes. Prices vary by state, city, and even individual franchise. Locations in major metros like Atlanta, Dallas, Orlando, and Nashville run about 5 to 10% higher than rural Southern stores. Highway rest-stop and tourist-area Waffle Houses also price slightly higher than neighborhood locations.

The menu structure stays consistent nationwide, but the All-Star Special might cost $12.10 in rural Tennessee and $13.35 in suburban Atlanta. Always confirm with your local restaurant before you order.

Waffle House Hours & Holiday Schedule

Waffle House never closes. That’s not marketing. That’s the actual policy.

Nutrition, Calories & Allergens

Calorie counts on the 2026 menu range from 10 calories (large black coffee) to 1,620 calories (Papa Joe’s Porkchop Dinner). The All-Star Special clocks in at 1,050 calories, which is a full meal but not unreasonable for a sit-down breakfast.

Common allergens across the menu:

• Eggs
• Milk and dairy
• Wheat (gluten)
• Soy
• Peanuts (in the Peanut Butter Chip Waffle)
• Tree nuts (pecans)
• Sesame (in some bread)

Waffle House cooks everything on shared grills, so cross-contact with allergens is possible. If you have a serious allergy, tell your server and your cook before ordering. For a full breakdown of every item’s calories, macros, and allergen info, visit our Waffle House Nutrition Facts page.

Secret Menu & Ordering Tips

Waffle House doesn’t have an official secret menu, but there are unwritten orders that regulars and cooks both know. Try these:

• Hashbrowns All The Way — every topping at once
• Cheese on Grits — not on the menu, always available
• Bert’s Chili over Hashbrowns — a cult favorite
• Apple Cinnamon Waffle — many locations still make it
• Double D’s — double hashbrowns, double cheese
• Waffle Sandwich — ask for any sandwich on a waffle instead of bread
• Raisin Toast — a quiet menu item that most locations still carry
• Pickle Plate — a small dish of pickles, free if you ask nicely

For the complete list of off-menu hacks, regional favorites, and how to order them like a 20-year regular, see our full Waffle House Secret Menu guide.

When you order, sit at the bar if you want the full Waffle House experience. You’ll see your food cooked in front of you and you’ll hear the cooks call your order back in the famous Waffle House shorthand.

Gift Cards, Deals & Rewards Program

Gift Cards: Waffle House gift cards are available in-store and online at wafflehouse.com. They work at every U.S. location and never expire.

Coupons & Deals: Waffle House rarely runs coupons. The strategy is to keep menu prices low all year instead of marking them up and discounting later. Combo meals like the All-Star Special are already priced as the best value on the board.
