Waffle House Lunch & Dinner Menu With Prices
The same 24/7 menu, but once the sun goes down these are the plates that get ordered most: Texas Melts, Angus burgers, and full dinner plates with steak, pork chop, or chicken. Breakfast never stops either, so an All-Star Special at midnight is always an option.
Available anytime — breakfast, lunch, or 2 a.m.Waffle House doesn’t run a separate lunch or dinner menu — the full menu is available at 2 p.m. exactly as it is at 2 a.m. But once breakfast isn’t what you’re craving, a handful of items become the go-to order. Here’s the full lunch and dinner lineup, with prices, so you know exactly what to expect before you order. For morning options, see the full Breakfast Menu, and if a melt sounds better on white bread, check the Sandwiches Menu too.
Texas Melts
Grilled on thick Texas toast, filled with your choice of protein and melted cheese, and served with a side of hashbrowns. These are consistently some of the most-ordered lunch and dinner items on the menu — ask for yours “scattered, smothered, and covered” if you want to upgrade the side for a small extra charge.
- Texas Patty Melt with Hashbrowns$9.30
- Texas Cheesesteak Melt with Hashbrowns$9.45
- Texas Grilled Chicken Melt with Hashbrowns$9.45
Angus Burgers
Made from fresh, never-frozen quarter-pound Angus beef patties, hand-pressed and cooked to order on the same open grill you can see from your seat — a step up from the frozen patties most fast-food chains use. Build your own from there: grilled mushrooms, extra cheese, or a fried egg on top are all common add-ons.
- Angus 1/4-lb Hamburger$8.95
- Angus 1/4-lb Hamburger Deluxe (lettuce, tomato, onion)$9.80
- Add cheese, bacon, chili, or jalapeños+$0.50–$1.50
Dinner Plates
For a heartier, more traditional dinner, Waffle House offers full plates built around a protein, served with two sides. Dinner plates automatically come with double hashbrowns (two regular orders) and Texas toast, though most locations will swap in grits or a side salad on request.
- Papa Joe’s Pork Chop Dinner~$10–$12
- Chicken DinnerUnder $10
- Sirloin DinnerUnder $10
- T-Bone Steak Dinner$14.95–$15.95
Sides & Extras
Every lunch or dinner plate is built to be paired — hashbrowns are the house specialty, cooked to order in every style from the Hashbrowns menu, but grits, chili, and sliced tomatoes round out the rest of the sides board.
- Hashbrowns (scattered)$2.90–$3.15
- Grits$2.65
- Chili Bowl$5.80
- Sliced Tomatoes$2.50
