Waffle House has raised their overall prices by 96% since 2020. Hash browns increased by 110% and coffee went from $1.80 to $3.15. At one point, they added a $0.50 cent surcharge per egg due to the shortages caused by the avian flu.

It’s easy and cheap to make breakfast at home with 50% less grease. Waffle House ain’t cheap anymore and that’s all they really had going.

    I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover or coming down from your actual destination?

    Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?

    Honestly, I like Waffle House. I am also not getting massive meals when I go. My kids get Waffles and Bacon, I get a Bacon Egg and Cheese. Our whole bill is maybe 20 bucks, which after materials and the time involves isn't much more than at home.

    Same. Literally my favorite restaurant, though I don't go as often as I used to due to the price increases.

    I feel that for sure. I save Waffle House for special occasions now. When I want to fill the holy hunger.

    Def love calling in a biscuit in the morning. The gas station ones are more expensive now, and theirs are better

    No one really goes to Waffle House on purpose.

  • Once when I was in Indiana I went to a waffle house because I had never been. I wanna say it was late 2023. I think it seemed fairly cheap as far as eating at a restaurant goes but that may have just been because I am not from Indianapolis.

    I remember thinking the food was alright. I'd definitely paid more for worse.

    Yeah it’s pretty sad. Back in high school a bunch of my friends would hang out at the Waffle House sometime between 10pm and 4am several times a week. It was 3.25 for coffee and a waffle. If you forgot your wallet you could usually scrounge for change under your friends car seats and make it happen. That was about 10 years ago, but man it feels like a whole different time, and just yesterday all at the same time. The cost of everything now makes me sick
