In early 2024 as egg prices surged, Waffle House made a difficult, and for some, unpopular call. The restaurant announced each customer would pay a $.50 surcharge per egg order when visiting the restaurants nationwide. While the initial announcement caused some frustration, customers dealt with the surcharge, and business continued. Waffle House promised customers the increase would be temporary, and they would discontinue the egg surharge as soon as it was feasible. Friends, the time has come.
