This Waffle House breakfast menu guide covers every egg plate, omelet,
hashbrown style, and breakfast side available — served 24 hours a day,
every day of the year. Below, you’ll find real menu items, calories,
and typical price ranges, plus a full breakdown of the Magic Marker
hashbrown ordering system. Every item is verified against official
sources, not guesswork.
Egg Plates & Omelets
Waffle House breakfast plates start with eggs cooked any style — scrambled, over easy, over medium, over hard, or poached — paired with your choice of hashbrowns, grits, toast, or biscuits. The All-Star Special is the most popular order on the menu: two eggs, bacon or sausage, hashbrowns, and toast or biscuit, all on one plate.Omelets come loaded with combinations of cheese, ham, bacon, sausage, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, and mushrooms. Popular build-outs include the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Omelet and the Western Omelet with ham, onions, and green peppers.
Price/calorie table:
| Item | Calories (approx.) | Price Range |
| All-Star Special | 900–1,100 | $8-$11 |
| Bacon, Egg & Cheese Omelet | 650–750 | $8-$10 |
| Western Omelet | 700–800 | $8-$10 |
| Two Eggs (any style) | 140–190 | $3-$5 |
Hashbrowns & the Magic Marker System
Waffle House hashbrowns can be customized more than almost any other menu item in America. Servers use a shorthand called the “Magic Marker” system to write down exactly how you want them prepared and topped:
- – Scattered — spread on the grill
- – Smothered — topped with onions
- – Covered — topped with cheese
- – Chunked — topped with grilled ham
- – Diced — topped with tomatoes
- – Peppered — topped with jalapeños
- – Capped — topped with mushrooms
- – Topped — topped with chili
Order any combination — “scattered, smothered, and covered” is the most common request — and your server will mark it on the ticket using this exact code.
Meats & Breakfast Sides
Round out any breakfast plate with bacon, sausage patties or links,
or the Waffle House T-bone steak and eggs — a heartier option for
bigger appetites. Grits, made fresh and available plain or with
butter, are a staple side alongside toast and biscuits.
Price/calorie table:
| Item | Calories (approx.) | Price Range |
| Bacon (order) | 110–220 | $3-$4 |
| Sausage (order) | 250–350 | $3-$4 |
| T-Bone Steak & Eggs | 900–1000 | $13-$16 |
| Grits (bowl) | 130–180 | $2-$3 |
Toast, Biscuits & Breads
Every breakfast plate can be paired with white or wheat toast, a buttermilk biscuit, or Texas toast. Biscuits are also available with sausage gravy for a heartier side. Toast comes lightly buttered and grilled to order, giving it a slightly crisp edge rather than the soft texture of standard sliced bread. Texas toast is the thicker, richer option, and it’s a popular swap-in for anyone building a bigger plate. The buttermilk biscuits are made fresh and hold up well whether you order them plain, with jelly, or smothered in sausage gravy — a Southern staple that turns a simple side into a filling dish on its own. For anyone customizing their Waffle House breakfast menu order, toast and biscuits are typically the most affordable way to round out a plate, usually adding just a couple of dollars to the total. Pairing either option with eggs, hashbrowns, or a meat side is one of the most common ways regulars build their go-to order.
