All Star Special

Look, if you’re new to Waffle House and you don’t know what to order — get the All-Star Special. That’s it. That’s your answer. It’s the most ordered item on the menu and it’s been that way since the place opened. Two eggs any style, your choice of bacon, sausage, or country ham, hashbrowns or grits, toast, and a waffle — all on one plate for around $12.25 at most locations. Reddit rates it 4.7 out of 5 from 2,891 votes. That’s not marketing. That’s thousands of people saying the same thing independently.

Waffles

Waffle House has been making waffles since 1955 — 71 years on the same batter mix, powdered form, mixed with half-and-half and eggs, fresh on the griddle every day. Eight options, all vegetarian, all made to order. The Original at $3.00 is the safe pick for first-timers. The new Cinnamon Crunch dropped in 2026 and already has the highest rating in the category at ⭐ 4.8. If you’ve never been, start with the Original. If you’ve been before, try the Chocolate Chip or Cinnamon Crunch — you won’t go back.

• Best for first-timers: Original Waffle — $3.00, safe, reliable, the one that started it all.
• Crowd favorite: Chocolate Chip Waffle — ⭐ 4.6 from 1,103 Reddit votes.
• Highest rated: Cinnamon Crunch Waffle — golden waffle with cinnamon crunch topping and cream cheese icing. New in 2026.

Breakfast Combos

Simple food, fast, cooked right in front of you on the open flat-top grill. Waffle House breakfast combos start at $5.20 for a clean Two-Egg Breakfast and go up to $11.35 for a Four-Egg plate with steak. Everything made to order. No heat lamp. No waiting. The Steak & Eggs at $10.30 is one of the best value steak meals in American dining — a full T-bone off the flat-top for under $11.

Hashbrowns

Don’t skip the hashbrowns. Cooked fresh on the open flat-top, crispy outside, soft inside, and fully customizable with toppings. The hashbrown lingo is a Waffle House institution — every regular knows it by heart. Hashbrowns All the Way is the most iconic order in American diner history. ⭐ 4.9 from 4,211 Reddit votes. That number says everything.

The lingo:

• Scattered = spread thin on the grill
• Smothered = grilled onions cooked in
• Covered = melted American cheese on top
• Chunked = diced ham mixed in
• Diced = tomatoes added
• Peppered = jalapeños
• Capped = mushrooms
• All the Way = every single topping at once

Sides

Smithfield bacon. Jimmy Dean sausage. Hickory-smoked ham. These aren’t generic diner meats — they’re name brands cooked fresh every single order on the open flat-top right in front of you. Nothing here sits under a heat lamp. You order it, it gets made. Prices start at $1.50 for sliced tomatoes and cap at $6.50 for grilled chicken.

Entrees

Texas Melts on thick grilled Texas toast. Angus beef burgers. Classic sandwiches. Dinner plates built around real cuts of meat — T-bone, sirloin, pork chop. All cooked on the same open flat-top grill you’ve been watching since you sat down. Waffle House sells more T-bones per year than any other restaurant in America. Prices run from $3.15 for a grilled cheese to $15.15 for a T-bone steak dinner.

EXTRAS & CLASSICS INTRO

Most people walk in, order eggs and hashbrowns, and never look past page one. That’s fine — those are great. But there’s a whole other layer here that regulars know about. Grits bowls that are a full meal. Three-egg omelets cooked on the open flat-top. Fresh-baked biscuits. Bert’s Chili — a Waffle House original that’s been on the menu for decades. And two pies made fresh daily under $3 a slice.

Drinks

No specialty lattes. No seasonal nonsense. Bottomless coffee in the iconic diner mug — refilled without asking, every time. Alice’s Iced Tea is Waffle House’s own signature sweet tea recipe and one of the most ordered drinks on the entire menu. All sodas are Coca-Cola products. All juices are Simply or Minute Maid — real brands, not concentrate. Every single drink is under $3.00. That’s the whole point.

Secret Menu

Waffle House doesn’t have an official secret menu. What they have is better — an open kitchen, a flat-top grill you can see from your seat, and staff who’ve been cooking the same food for decades. These 15 items come from regulars who figured out combinations over years at the counter and spread them on Reddit and TikTok until they had millions of views. Be specific when you order. Be polite. Tip well. Custom orders earn it.
