Waffle House Menu With Prices & Calories USA | Updated 2026

Complete Waffle House Menu With Prices

Here’s the full menu, all 123 items across 13 categories. Every section starts with a quick note on what’s worth ordering. The tables carry the typical 2026 price and calorie count for each item.

Waffles

Everything at Waffle House starts with the Waffle. It’s made from a sweet cream batter and cooked in the irons behind the counter. The edges come out golden and a little crisp. It shows up with butter and syrup, unless you ask for a flavored version. Pecan is the one regulars swear by, but chocolate chip and peanut butter chip have their own loyal crowd too. Prices start at $5.95 for the classic, which still feels like a deal for the size.

Breakfast Favorites

This is where Waffle House earns its reputation. The All-Star Special is the headline act, a full breakfast that covers half the menu in one order. But the section runs deep. It runs from a plain two-egg plate to a T-bone with eggs. Everything’s cooked on the open grill while you watch. Most plates let you swap between grits and hash browns. You also pick how your eggs are done, whether that’s scrambled soft or over easy.

Hashbrowns & Bowls

Ask a regular what makes Waffle House different, and they’ll probably say the hashbrowns. The plain order is just shredded potatoes, spread thin on the grill until the edges crisp up. From there, you can load them with cheese, onions, and ham. Half the kitchen toppings can end up on there. The bowls take the idea further a bed of hashbrowns buried under eggs, meat, and melted cheese. Every bowl is $13.10 except the protein bowl, and a plain order of hashbrowns is $4.70.

Omelets

The omelets come out fluffy, folded around your chosen filling. Toast or a biscuit lands on the side, so the plate doesn’t feel unfinished. Cheese is the safe order. The Fiesta, with onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños, has some life. Prices run from $8.95 to $12.30. A few omelets show a calorie range instead of a single number. That’s because the count shifts with your fillings and how the plate is built.

Texas Melts

The Texas melt is pure Waffle House. Grill thick-cut Texas toast golden on both sides. Then press the filling in until the cheese escapes around the edges. It eats like a sandwich, but with the appetite of a full breakfast plate. Most melts run $7.75 to $11.05. If none of the combinations suit you, build your own.

Sandwiches

The sandwich list covers both ends of the day. In the morning, most people reach for the sausage, egg, and cheese. By lunch, the grilled chicken and the BLT take over. Nothing here costs more than $8.75. We usually add hash browns or grits and call it a meal.

100% Angus Beef Burgers

People forget Waffle House does burgers, which is a shame. They’re proper diner burgers: 100% Angus beef, no fillers. They cook them to order on the same grill as everything else. The original is a small two-ounce patty, more of a snack. The quarter-pound singles and doubles are the real lunch order. Go deluxe for fresh toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion) on top.

Classic Dinners

Not in the mood for Breakfast? That’s what this section is for. The dinners are straightforward comfort food: grilled chicken, country ham, pork chops, steak. Every plate comes with two sides of your choice. Prices run from $11.95 to $16.95, and yes, we serve them all day and all night, like everything else here.

Sides & Add-ons

Sides are how you turn a small order into your order. Grits, toast, and hash browns are the classics people build around. From there, it’s extra bacon or a bowl of Bert’s Chili. Or one of the grits bowls, which are honestly meals in their own right at $11.05. The simple sides (toast, sliced tomatoes, grits) all cost $3.25 or less.

Pies & Desserts

Dessert here isn’t fancy. There are two pies: Southern pecan and triple chocolate. They’re sold by the small slice ($2.25) or the full slice ($3.95). And that’s the whole show. Order one with a cup of the classic blend coffee, and you’ve got the proper Waffle House ending.

Beverages

Coffee runs the show here. It pours all day and all night. Most tables seem to have a cup going at any hour. Beyond that, it’s the usual diner lineup. Sodas, Alice’s iced tea (sweet or unsweet), juice, and milk in two sizes: 9 oz and 16 oz. Nearly everything costs less than $3, and the coffee comes in three ways: classic blend, decaf, and dark roast.

Waffle House Biscuits

A Southern breakfast without biscuits wouldn’t feel right, and Waffle House bakes theirs fresh. Eat one plain with butter. Split one around eggs and sausage. Or go straight for the biscuit and gravy, the most filling thing in this section by a wide margin. Every biscuit sandwich is $5.95; only the build-your-own costs less, at $4.95.

Waffle House Kids Menu

The kids menu keeps things small, simple, and cheap. Little waffles, a small egg breakfast, a grilled cheese. Burgers sized for smaller hands. Nothing costs more than $4.10 the kid’s cheeseburger holds that honor. That makes a family stop here much easier on the wallet than most places.

Waffle House Secret Menu

Waffle House secret menu items are custom combinations made with ingredients already available on the regular menu. Although Waffle House doesn’t publish an official secret menu, popular creations include waffle burgers, waffle tacos, loaded hash browns, and Arnold Palmers made with iced tea and lemonade. Other combinations, such as Fruity Pebbles waffles, chicken bacon ranch biscuits, and extra-crispy double-dipped bacon, may depend on ingredient availability and what each location can prepare.

For more details, the Waffle House Secret Menu guide covers popular custom orders, their ingredients, estimated prices, and calorie information where available.

Understanding these variations helps readers compare different options and know what to expect before ordering. For the best experience, keep custom requests simple and be mindful of busy breakfast hours.

Waffle House Nutrition Information

If you’re watching what you eat, the numbers are all here. Most items carry their calorie count right in the tables above. The table below gives you each category’s range at a glance. The pattern is probably what you’d expect. Plain eggs, grits, and grilled chicken sit at the light end. The loaded hashbrown bowls and big steak-and-egg plates do the heavy lifting. Your actual plate can land a little above or below these figures. Toppings, portion sizes, and cooking styles all nudge the count. For the full breakdown, check the official Waffle House nutrition guide before you order.

Waffle House Allergen Information

Waffle House doesn’t have a certified allergen-free menu. Almost everything is cooked on the same grills, so cross-contact is always possible. Wheat is everywhere: waffles, biscuits, toast, buns, gravy. Eggs and dairy appear in most menu items. The good news? Peanuts and tree nuts are mostly confined to two waffle flavors. That makes them easier to avoid. If you have an allergy, tell your server before you order, not after. Ask about ingredients and how things are prepared.

Cheapest Items on the Waffle House Menu

Eating cheap here isn’t a hack; it’s just how the menu is priced. A full meal for one usually runs $8-$14 with a drink. Combos like the All-Star give you more food per dollar than ordering à la carte. If you’re really counting, these are the lowest prices on the menu:

Best Waffle House Orders Under $10

You don’t need much money to eat well here. The Classic Waffle is $5.95. A Two Egg Breakfast is $8.25, a Cheese Omelet is $8.95, and the Texas Sausage Melt is $7.75. All are full, hot meals under $10.Or build your own combo. A grilled cheese ($3.70), hashbrowns ($3.25), and a coffee ($2.65) come to less than $10. And you won’t leave hungry.

Vegetarian-Friendly Picks at Waffle House

Vegetarians do fine at Waffle House, which surprises people. The Classic Waffle, the grilled cheese, and plain hash browns are easy orders. Grits, biscuits, sliced tomatoes, and both pies are easy, too. The build-your-own sandwich lets you skip the meat entirely. The catch is eggs and dairy they’re in the waffles, the biscuits, the omelets, nearly everything. So if you’re vegan rather than vegetarian, talk to the staff before you order. Simple orders are the easiest for the kitchen to adjust.

Waffle House Catering

Waffle House caters to group breakfasts, office mornings, school events, family gatherings, that kind of thing. The spread usually leans on breakfast staples: eggs, hash browns, waffles, and breakfast meats, cooked hot for a crowd. Catering prices are estimates. They vary by location and group size, so there’s no single number to print here. Call your local restaurant and ask for a quote before the event.

2. Pick your location — choose the restaurant nearest you.
3. Build your order from the menu categories.
4. Customize it — egg styles, hash brown toppings, all of it.
5. Check your cart for items and prices before you pay.
6. Pay and choose pickup or delivery.

Note on Takeout Fees: Some locations add a to-go/takeout fee of about 20%, which works like a built-in gratuity for the staff packaging your order. Policies vary by store, so confirm when you place your order.

Waffle House Hours

This is the easiest part of the whole guide. Most locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Weekends and holidays included —yes, even Christmas—a few stores close overnight, usually for safety or staffing. So if you’re planning a 3 AM visit, call ahead.

How This Menu Guide Stays Accurate

A word on where these numbers come from, because menu sites get this wrong all the time. We pull prices from public menus, delivery listings, and third-party trackers across the United States. Then we cross-check them and list the typical figure. That’s also why this guide shows typical prices rather than pretending there’s one national price — there isn’t. Rent, wages, and costs differ. So a waffle in one state can cost more than the same Waffle two states over. The official site, wafflehouse.com, lists the menu but not local prices. For the exact number, your local restaurant is the final word.

We review this guide when new items appear or prices shift, and the most recent review covered the 2026 menu.

About Waffle House

Waffle House opened in 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia, when Joe Rogers Sr. and Tom Forkner launched the first restaurant over Labor Day weekend. Their idea was almost stubbornly simple: good food, served fast, with the doors open around the clock.

It worked. Today, more than 1,900 Waffle House restaurants operate across 25 states, mostly in the South and Midwest. The place has become a genuine piece of American culture—the yellow sign, the open kitchen, the jukebox, the counter seats where the regulars sit. The restaurants are easy to recognize. Most have an open kitchen, a long counter, and booths along the windows. Cooks prepare your food in full view, and servers call out orders to the grill. This open style has barely changed since 1955, and regulars love it for that reason. Then there’s the Waffle House Index, which might be the strangest honor a restaurant chain has ever received. FEMA watches Waffle House after hurricanes and storms because the chain rarely closes. Green means a restaurant is open and serving a full menu. Yellow means it is open with a limited menu. Red means it is closed. When a Waffle House turns red, everyone knows the storm is serious.

Find a Waffle House Near You

With more than 1,900 locations, there’s a decent chance one is closer than you think. They’re concentrated in the Southeast, usually just off a highway or near downtown. The fastest way to find yours is the location finder on wafflehouse.com. Type in your city or zip code for nearby restaurants, hours, and directions. Google Maps works too, and adds reviews and busy times. Visiting late? Call ahead — a few locations do close overnight.

Waffle House Gift Card

Simple, but people ask about it all the time, so here are the basics.

• A gift card works like cash at participating restaurants, for anything on the menu.
• You can buy one at the counter, through the official website, or at some third-party retailers.
• Hand it to your server when it’s time to pay, just like a payment card.
• To check your balance, ask at the counter.
• Keep your receipt — policies can vary a little by franchise.

It makes an easy gift for birthdays, holidays, or a simple thank-you, especially for someone who orders the same thing every time.
