It’s as stable as it gets at Waffle House.
It’s always open. The food is consistently hot. Rarely does anything change.
However, on Monday, a.50 cent egg fee was implemented, which caused quite a stir on social media.
According to a statement from Waffle House, the ongoing egg shortage brought on by HPAI (Bird Flu) has resulted in a sharp rise in egg prices. Restaurants and customers are having to make tough choices. Waffle House has temporarily increased all menu prices by.50 per gg as of February 3.
The statement added, “This is a temporary targeted surcharge linked to the unprecedented rise in egg prices, rather than raising prices across the menu.” Many of our customers’ favorite dishes will continue to include Grade A Large eggs as a main component as long as they are available, high-quality, and freshly cracked. Although we expect that these price swings will be temporary, we are unable to forecast how long this scarcity will persist. We keep a close eye on egg prices and will modify or eliminate the premium as the market permits.
For the week ending January 31, the wholesale price of a large carton of eggs supplied to merchants in the New York market increased to $7.63 per dozen, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to Newsweek.
Although there doesn’t seem to have been much that President Donald Trump could have done about it, some people understandably jumped on the bandwagon when Joe Biden was criticized about egg costs, which seemed to be a prevalent line throughout the campaign.
The topic was covered in a Thanks Trump headline in the Daily Beast. People on X also tweeted about the surge and Trump.

Many, however, were upset with the Waffle House for raising prices, and others were simply concerned about how bad the Bird Flu situation appears to be getting.
One user commented, “Waffle House’s having to surcharge eggs is nasty work.”However, this is what you all voted for.
