Ordering Guide & Tips
The All-Star Special — two eggs, a Classic Waffle, toast, grits or hashbrowns, and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham — costs $12.85–$14.10. A Classic Waffle costs $5.20–$5.95, an order of hashbrowns costs $3.70–$4.70, and a large fountain drink costs $2.65. Waffle House publishes no prices on wafflehouse.com and sets no single national price, so every price on this page is the verified range from Waffle House’s own online ordering menus, checked on October 26, 2026 at stores in Atlanta, Nashville and Charlotte. The calories are the chain’s official figures, from its Nutritionals & Allergens guide updated August 27, 2026. Below is the full Waffle House menu — and at Waffle House, the full menu is served 24 hours a day.
How the Waffle House Menu Is Organized
The menu on this page follows Waffle House’s official menu guide, whose sections mirror the printed in-store menu: All-Star Special & Egg Breakfasts, Toddle House Omelet Breakfasts, Waffles, Hashbrowns & Toppings, Hashbrown Bowls & Grits Bowls, Breakfast Sandwiches & Melts, Grilled Biscuits, Breakfast Sides, Classic Dinners & Steak Dinners, Texas Melts, Burgers & Sandwiches, Bert’s Chili, Kids Meals, Pies and Beverages.
Three structural facts explain most questions about this menu. First, the whole menu is served all day and all night — “breakfast” is a menu section here, not a daypart, and the dinner plates, melts and burgers are available at 3 AM exactly as at 6 PM. Second, there are no pancakes anywhere on the menu — the griddle sweet is the waffle, in five builds. Third, there is no separate lunch and dinner side list: dinner plates come with your choice of toast and the same side choices — grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes — that come with the egg breakfasts.
The “secret menu” people search for at Waffle House is not a set of hidden items. It is the hashbrown ordering language — scattered, smothered, covered and the rest — spelled out in the Hashbrowns section below. The take-out version of this same menu is the pickup ordering menu at order.wafflehouse.com, which is where the prices on this page come from.
Breakfast & the All-Star Special
The All-Star Special is the plate the chain is built on. Its current build, per the official guide: 2 eggs and a Classic Waffle, plus your choice of toast (white, wheat, raisin, Texas toast or a grilled biscuit), plus your choice of grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes, plus your choice of meat — bacon (3 slices), sausage (2 patties), chicken sausage (2 patties), city ham or country ham. It costs $12.85–$14.10 across the three ordering menus checked.
Waffle House publishes no calorie total for the All-Star Special. The official guide lists the plate only as components — 2 eggs at 180 calories and the Classic Waffle at 410, plus whichever toast, side and meat you choose (hashbrowns 190, grits 90, sliced tomatoes 10; bacon 135, sausage 260, chicken sausage 180, city ham 100, country ham 190). Any single All-Star calorie number quoted elsewhere is someone adding those components up themselves; the chain does not publish one, so this page does not print one.
The egg breakfasts are built the same way — a protein and 2 eggs, with your choice of toast and your choice of grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes. The 2 Egg Breakfast costs $7.25–$8.25, Cheese ‘N Eggs (two scrambled eggs with cheese) costs $8.25–$8.50, and Cheesesteak & Eggs costs $13.60–$15.90. The bigger plates carry published calories: T-Bone & Eggs 600, Pork Chops & Eggs 520, Steak & Eggs (Delmonico) 480, Country Ham & Eggs 370. Several of these plates are not separately listed on the online ordering menus, so they carry calories here without a captured price — the Prices section below names exactly which items are priced and which are not.
The Toddle House omelet breakfasts come with the same toast and side choices: Cheese Omelet 280 calories, Ham & Cheese 350, Fiesta 385, Cheesesteak 410, and a Build Your Own Omelet on a 180-calorie two-egg base with the guide’s add-on list of meats and toppings. The hashbrown and grits bowls are the newest breakfast format: eight bowls built on large hashbrowns or grits with egg, cheese and a meat or melt filling, at $11.60–$12.85, plus the Chicken Fiesta Protein Bowl — grilled chicken, 3 scrambled eggs, cheese and toppings, 535 calories — at $12.10–$14.40. The biscuits run $4.20–$5.20 (a plain Grilled Biscuit is $2.65–$3.15, and the Chicken Biscuit is $6.50–$7.00).
Hashbrowns: Scattered, Smothered & Covered
Hashbrowns are Waffle House’s second signature platform, and they come with their own ordering language — “Scattered, Smothered & Covered” is the chain’s own phrase. An order of hashbrowns costs $3.70–$4.70 and comes in three sizes by calories: regular 190, large 380, triple 570. Every style word adds one topping:
| Word | What it means | Extra calories |
|---|---|---|
| Scattered | Spread out on the grill — the standard prep | — |
| Smothered | Grilled onions | 15 |
| Covered | Melted American cheese (1 slice) | 50 |
| Chunked | Hickory smoked ham | 70 |
| Diced | Grilled tomatoes | 5 |
| Peppered | Jalapeño peppers | 15 |
| Capped | Grilled mushrooms | 15 |
| Topped | Bert’s Chili (3 oz) | 110 |
| Country | Sausage gravy (3 oz) | 75 |
All The Way means all of the toppings together. The August 2026 guide publishes no All-The-Way total — it lists each topping separately, as above — so no single calorie figure for it exists in the chain’s current official data. Topping prices work the same way: the toppings are chosen inside the hashbrown item when you order, and no per-topping add-on list prices are published on the ordering menus checked, so none are printed here.
The bowls take the same base further: a Sausage Egg & Cheese Hashbrown Bowl is large hashbrowns with sausage, 2 scrambled eggs and American cheese — 920 calories, the highest-calorie single item on this menu — and the eight hashbrown and grits bowls cost $11.60–$12.85. Grits are the standing alternative to hashbrowns everywhere they appear: a bowl of grits is 90 calories and costs $3.70–$4.70 as a side, against 190 calories for the hashbrowns.
Waffles
The Classic Waffle is 410 calories and costs $5.20–$5.95. In the official guide the other waffles are built as toppings on the Classic: pecan (+150 calories), chocolate chip (+95), blueberry nougat (+98) and peanut butter chip (+113). On the ordering menus those same builds are sold as complete waffles — a Pecan, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Chip or Blueberry Waffle costs $5.70–$6.50 — so the flavored waffle is about a dollar over the Classic at every store checked. There is no rotating or monthly waffle on the current official menu; the lineup is the Classic plus those four builds.
Texas Melts
The Texas Melts are grilled sandwiches on Texas toast, and “Texas” here is the item name, not a location. The official guide lists three: the Texas Grilled Chicken Melt and the Texas Cheesesteak Melt at 445 calories each, and the Texas Angus Patty Melt at 535. Each costs $7.00–$8.25 on the ordering menus checked. The ordering menus also sell bacon versions of the three melts at $9.55–$11.05 and serve the bacon melts with hashbrowns as dinner plates at $13.10–$15.65; a Texas Sausage Melt runs $6.50–$7.75. The breakfast side of the family — the Texas Breakfast Melt with Hashbrowns — costs $10.80–$13.10.
Lunch & Dinner
Waffle House’s dinner menu is a short list of grill plates. Each dinner is served with your choice of toast and your choice of grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes, and the official guide publishes the entrée’s calories only — the plate total depends on the toast and side you pick. The entrées: Chicken Dinner (one grilled filet) 130 calories, Meat Lovers Chicken Dinner (two filets) 260, Country Ham Dinner 190, Pork Chop Dinner (two grilled pork chops) 340, Meat Lovers Pork Chop Dinner (three chops) 510, T-Bone Dinner 420 and Delmonico Dinner 300.
Of the dinner plates, only the pork chop dinner appears on the online ordering menus — as Papa Joe’s Porkchop Dinner, $12.85–$15.15. The ordering menus instead sell the grill meats as individual sides (a T-Bone side at $10.30–$12.10, a pork chop at $6.25–$7.50, grilled chicken at $6.25–$7.50). The burgers and sandwiches carry the rest of the lunch trade: the Angus 1/4 LB Hamburger Deluxe is 370 calories at $4.95–$5.95, the Cheeseburger Deluxe is 420 and the Double Cheeseburger Deluxe 690; the Grilled Chicken Sandwich Deluxe is 280 calories at $6.50–$7.75, the Grilled Chicken Bacon Cheese Sandwich Deluxe is 420 at $9.05–$10.55, and a Grilled Cheese is 230 calories at $3.15–$3.70. Bert’s Chili comes in a regular 6 oz cup at 220 calories and a large 9 oz bowl at 330; the ordering menus checked do not list the chili by the cup, so no price is printed for it.
Kids Meals
Yes, Waffle House has a kids menu — it is a small section of the official guide with two meals. The Kids Waffle with Bacon or Sausage pairs a waffle (410 calories) with kid’s bacon (90), kid’s sausage (130) or kid’s chicken sausage (90). The Kid’s 1 Egg Breakfast is one scrambled egg (90 calories) with your choice of toast, your choice of grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes, and the same choice of kid’s meats. Neither the kids meals nor a desserts section appears on the online ordering menus checked in Atlanta, Nashville and Charlotte, so no kids prices are published there — the kids menu is an in-restaurant section of the menu.
Prices
Waffle House publishes no prices on wafflehouse.com — the only official price surface is its online ordering. The prices on this page were captured from Waffle House’s own ordering menus (order.wafflehouse.com) on October 26, 2026, at Atlanta, GA (store #1996), Nashville, TN (#950) and Charlotte, NC (#61), and 53 of the 132 items on this page carry a price. Each price is the lowest-to-highest range across the stores that list the item. The pattern across the three markets is consistent: Nashville runs highest on nearly every shared item, Charlotte lowest, Atlanta between them — the All-Star Special is $14.10 in Nashville, $13.60 in Atlanta and $12.85 in Charlotte.
The items without a captured price fall into named groups, and the reason is the same in each case — the item is not separately listed on the ordering menus: the omelet breakfasts and the larger steak-and-egg plates; hashbrown and waffle topping add-ons, which are chosen inside the item and have no published list prices; the large and triple hashbrown sizes; most dinner plates (only the pork chop dinner is listed); Bert’s Chili by the cup; the kids meals and the pies, because the ordering menus checked carry no kids or desserts category; and several plain sandwich builds. Their calories, where the official guide publishes them, are on this page regardless.
The cheapest full items on the menu are the Grilled Biscuit at $2.65–$3.15 and the large fountain drinks at $2.65. Prices at your local Waffle House are set by that restaurant’s market and can sit outside these ranges; delivery apps price the same items higher, which is one reason this page uses the chain’s own ordering menus and never aggregator figures.
Nutrition & Calories
Every calorie figure on this page comes from Waffle House’s official Nutritionals & Allergens guide, updated August 27, 2026 — the current edition, and the source that governs here. One warning matters: the meal builder on wafflehouse.com shows a different, older set of numbers for many items, and the two conflict. Where they conflict, this page follows the dated guide — a regular Bert’s Chili is 220 calories, not the meal builder’s 150; a regular slice of Triple Chocolate Pie is 490, not 880; the Texas Melts are 445 / 445 / 535, not 660 / 650 / 730; a Grilled Biscuit is 300, not 380.
The guide is a component chart, and its conventions run through the menu on this page. Egg breakfasts are listed as protein plus eggs, with toast and sides counted separately (T-Bone & Eggs 600 = the T-bone at 420 + 2 eggs at 180). Dinners are listed as the entrée only. The bowls are true printed totals. And the All-Star Special has no published total at all — components only, as the All-Star section above explains.
Calories in the Most-Asked Items
| Item | Calories |
|---|---|
| Classic Waffle | 410 |
| Hashbrowns (regular) | 190 |
| Sausage Egg & Cheese Hashbrown Bowl | 920 |
| Bacon Egg & Cheese Hashbrown Bowl | 795 |
| Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl | 625 |
| 2 Egg Breakfast (entrée) | 180 |
| T-Bone & Eggs (entrée) | 600 |
| Cheese Omelet Breakfast (omelet) | 280 |
| Fiesta Protein Bowl | 535 |
| Texas Cheesesteak Melt | 445 |
| Texas Angus Patty Melt | 535 |
| Angus 1/4 LB Cheeseburger Deluxe | 420 |
| Double Angus 1/4 LB Cheeseburger Deluxe | 690 |
| Regular Bert’s Chili | 220 |
| Grilled Biscuit | 300 |
| Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuit | 570 |
| Kids Waffle | 410 |
| Regular Slice Triple Chocolate Pie | 490 |
| Regular Slice Southern Pecan Pie | 510 |
| Grits | 90 |
The lowest-calorie entrée in the guide is the Chicken Dinner’s grilled filet at 130 calories, followed by the Grilled Chicken Sandwich Deluxe at 280 and the Cheese Omelet at 280. The lightest sides are sliced tomatoes at 10 calories and grits at 90 — swapping hashbrowns (190) for grits or tomatoes is the biggest single cut on any breakfast plate. At the top end sit the Sausage Egg & Cheese Hashbrown Bowl (920), the Double Cheeseburger Deluxe and the Meat Lover’s Pork Chops & Eggs (690 each). Diet Coke and Alice’s Unsweet Tea are the zero-calorie drinks; coffee is 5. For protein-led builds, the guide’s protein-format items are the Fiesta Protein Bowl and the Meat Lover’s plates, which double the meat portion of the standard breakfasts and dinners; the calorie figures on this page are the per-item data Waffle House publishes, and they are the figures to build from.
Allergens & Dietary
Waffle House’s allergen information lives in the same official guide as its calories: a per-item allergen column (egg, milk, soy, wheat, tree nuts, sesame and the rest, row by row). That column is all the chain publishes — there is no separate allergen booklet and no cross-contact statement, and the word “gluten” appears nowhere in the guide.
Full prose ingredient lists are not something Waffle House publishes — its guide gives calories and allergen flags per item, not ingredient statements — and the sesame flag is worth knowing before a burger: the Angus burgers list sesame among their allergens.
Hours
Every Waffle House is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That is the company’s own published position — its Our Story page describes “more than 2,000 locations in 25 states. All open 24-hours a day, seven days a week” — and individual location pages on locations.wafflehouse.com show “Open 24 hours” store by store. The chain was founded in 1955 in Avondale Estates, Georgia, and the 24/7 pattern has no daypart exceptions: the full menu on this page is the menu at noon and at 3 AM.
The 24/7 pattern includes holidays. Waffle House does not publish holiday closures — Christmas Day, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Day, Easter, Labor Day, Memorial Day and the 4th of July are normal 24-hour days at this chain — and staying open through holidays is part of its published identity. There is no national timetable to print because there is nothing to vary: if a specific store’s status is ever in doubt (roadworks, weather, a local emergency), the official store locator carries that store’s live status. Timing questions that belong to other chains do not exist here: breakfast does not end, lunch does not start, and there is no kitchen-close before the overnight hours.
Gift Cards
Waffle House gift cards are sold, checked and reloaded through the chain’s official gift card pages:
- Balance check: the Gift Cards page on wafflehouse.com routes to Waffle House’s official gift card portal, wafflehouse.gift.solutions — the balance checker is at wafflehouse.gift.solutions/balance.
- Buying: cards are sold in Waffle House restaurants, through the official gift card portal, and at retail stores — the gift card page carries a “Find a Retailer” route for the grocery and pharmacy counters that stock them.
- Help: the gift card help number printed on Waffle House’s own gift cards page is 1-866-204-5393.
Denominations, expiry and fee terms are set inside the gift card portal, and the portal does not publish them in a readable public page — checked October 2026 — so no amounts or expiry claims are printed here. Waffle House’s gift card pages describe the card for use through Waffle House’s own restaurants and channels; they do not list DoorDash or any other delivery app as a place the card can be spent, so do not count on paying for a delivery-app order with one.
Deals, Coupons & the Regulars Club
Waffle House’s deals run through one official channel: the Regulars Club (wafflehouse.com/regulars-club). Joining is free, the signup offer is a free order of hashbrowns, and members receive exclusive specials, free coupons and news by email. You must be 13 or older to join. That email channel is how coupons and digital coupons work at this chain — they are issued to members, they rotate, and this page prints no coupon codes, because a printed code would be stale or invented.
Two discount answers are definitive at the level the chain publishes: Waffle House publishes no senior discount and no senior menu, and no military, veterans or student discount, on its official site (checked October 2026). And the “free waffle” offers that circulate on coupon sites are not a published Waffle House program — the published signup offer is the free hashbrowns above.
Quick Answers
Looking for a specific store? Locations live in the restaurant directory and in the official locator on locations.wafflehouse.com — this page covers the menu, not individual stores. Catering — including the Waffle House food truck — is a service booked through the catering team on wafflehouse.com, and delivery runs through the chain’s ordering app and third-party delivery apps; both are covered separately from this menu page.
