While a few items have been added to the Waffle House menu over the years, today’s laminated placemats aren’t that different from the restaurant’s original menu. Probably the one most substantial addition to the chain’s offerings has been hash browns, which was added to the menu in the 1980s. Today, customers can order numerous variations of the dish, including diced, topped, chunked, peppered, capped, and country (via Hypocrite Reader). And, unlike many other chains, Waffle House has made little effort to introduce healthy items. As it stands, you won’t find many low-fat, nutrient-dense dishes on the chain’s menu (per Verywell Fit).
And, while at first glance, Waffle House’s menu may appear to be huge, this can be deceiving, as Joyce Touche, who worked for the chain for two years, explained on Quora. “The actual number of items on the menu is quite small, but having a hamburger, patty melt, or eggs with beef burger appears to enlarge the menu while using many of the same ingredients,” she said.
