Waffle House Breakfast Menu 2026: Prices, Calories & Full Guide

The All-Star Special is the most ordered breakfast plate on the entire Waffle House menu. It comes with eggs, a waffle, hashbrowns, and a choice of bacon, sausage, or grilled ham, plus toast or a biscuit. It is built for people who want a little of everything in one order.

All-Star Special

This is the plate most regulars order without even checking the menu. You choose your eggs, your meat, and whether you want toast or a biscuit, and the waffle comes standard. It is the best starting point if you have never been to Waffle House before. For a full breakdown of every combination, see our complete All-Star Special guide.

Two Egg Breakfast and Two Egg Breakfast With Side Meat

The Two Egg Breakfast is the no-frills option. You get two eggs cooked your way, hashbrowns or grits, and toast or a biscuit. Add a side of bacon, sausage, or ham and the price jumps a few dollars, but you also pick up another 140 calories and a real protein boost.

Texas Breakfast Melt With Hashbrowns

This sandwich puts grilled Texas toast around eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat, served alongside a side of hashbrowns. It eats more like a hot sandwich than a traditional plate, which makes it a popular grab-and-go breakfast order. For more sandwich options built the same way, check out our Texas Melts guide.

Cheese N’ Eggs, Steak and Eggs, Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit, and Chicken Biscuit

Cheese N’ Eggs With Raisin Toast pairs melted cheese folded into scrambled eggs with sweet raisin toast on the side. Steak and Eggs is the priciest plate on the breakfast menu and the highest in protein, built around a grilled steak portion. The Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit uses a Jimmy Dean sausage patty on a fresh-baked biscuit, while the Chicken Biscuit swaps in a grilled or fried chicken filet for a lighter, handheld option.

Waffle House Hashbrown Bowls for Breakfast

Hashbrown bowls turn the diner’s signature side into a full meal. Each bowl starts with a base of hashbrowns, then gets loaded with eggs, cheese, and your choice of meat. Expect to pay between $7.50 and $10.30 depending on what you add, with most bowls landing between 730 and 920 calories. The Grits Bowl swaps hashbrowns for grits and runs closer to $5.30 for about 730 calories. See the full lineup, including every topping option, in our Hashbrown Bowls guide and our Grits Bowl price and calorie breakdown.

How to Order Hashbrowns at Breakfast

Waffle House built its own vocabulary around hashbrowns, and learning it makes ordering a lot faster. Here is what each term means on the grill.

• Scattered means the hashbrowns are spread thin for extra crispiness.
• Smothered adds grilled onions.
• Covered means melted American cheese on top.
• Chunked adds diced grilled ham.
• Diced means fresh tomatoes mixed in.
• Peppered adds jalapeños for heat.
• Capped means grilled mushrooms.
• Topped adds chili.
• Country means sausage gravy poured over the top.
• All the Way stacks every topping above into one order.

Most regulars order their hashbrowns scattered, smothered, and covered for a classic, simple combination. If you want to try everything at once, just tell your server “all the way.”

Waffle House Breakfast Allergen and Dietary Information

Waffle House does not run a dedicated gluten-free or allergen-free kitchen, and food prepared on the shared grill may come into contact with soy, eggs, dairy, fish, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. That said, several breakfast staples fit common diets with no changes needed. Always tell your server about any allergy before ordering, since cross-contact on a shared grill is possible.

High Protein Breakfast Options

Steak and Eggs leads the breakfast menu in protein at roughly 42 grams per plate. The All-Star Special and Two Egg Breakfast With Side Meat both deliver close to 30 to 40 grams, depending on which meat you choose. Plain eggs and bacon or sausage on the side are an easy way to push the protein total higher without adding a full plate.

Low Calorie Breakfast Picks

Grits are the lowest calorie item on the entire breakfast menu at around 90 calories for a side portion. A plain Two Egg Breakfast without added meat stays close to 500 calories. Swapping a biscuit for dry toast also trims a noticeable amount of calories from any plate.

Keto-Friendly Breakfast Choices

Eggs, bacon, sausage, and grilled ham are all naturally low in carbs and fit well into a keto-style breakfast. Steak and Eggs is one of the better keto-friendly plates on the menu since it skips the waffle and toast entirely. Ask for your eggs and meat without a side of hashbrowns or grits if you want to keep carbs as low as possible.

Gluten-Free and Vegetarian Considerations

Eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, and most grilled meats are generally gluten-free on their own, though Waffle House has no dedicated gluten-free menu or fryer. Biscuits, toast, and waffles all contain wheat. Vegetarian diners can build a plate around eggs, hashbrowns, grits, and cheese, since the diner does not offer plant-based meat substitutes.

Waffle House Senior Breakfast Menu

Some Waffle House locations offer a senior discount on breakfast orders, typically for guests around 60 and older. This is not a standardized chain-wide program, and availability depends entirely on the individual location. The best way to find out is to ask your server directly or call ahead before you visit, especially if you are planning a trip around this specific discount. Pricing on senior orders follows the same estimated ranges as the rest of the breakfast menu above.

Waffle House Secret Menu Breakfast Items

Waffle House does not officially publish a secret menu, but regulars have built one out of existing ingredients over the years. A few breakfast favorites worth trying include the Waffle Taco, made by folding a waffle around eggs and cheese, and the Fruity Pebbles Waffle, which presses cereal into the batter before it hits the grill. During the chain’s 70th anniversary in 2026, some locations have also brought back a limited-time Birthday Cake Waffle. Be polite when ordering off-menu, and avoid asking during a busy rush. For the full list of off-menu items across the whole menu, not just breakfast, see our Secret Menu guide.

Kids Breakfast Menu at Waffle House

Waffle House offers a smaller, lower-priced breakfast menu for children 10 and under. Options typically include a mini waffle, scrambled eggs with toast, or a small portion of bacon or sausage on the side. Portions are sized for younger appetites, and pricing runs noticeably lower than the adult menu. See our full Kids Menu guide for the complete lineup.
