Waffle House Drops Egg Surcharge as Prices Fall

By    |   Tuesday, 01 July 2025 03:36 PM EDT

Waffle House is dropping its 50-cents per egg surcharge, the restaurant chain announced.

"Egg-cellent news," it wrote Tuesday in a social media post. "The egg surcharge is officially off the menu. Thanks for understanding."

Waffle House customers were hit with the surcharge in February because of the biggest bird flu outbreak in a decade, pushing price to record highs. Wholesale and retail prices have begun to normalize since.

The average price for a dozen eggs nationwide hit $4.15 in December. That is not quite as high as the $4.82 record set two years ago, but the Agriculture Department at the time predicted egg prices would soar another 20% this year.

Waffle House, which serves approximately 272 million eggs per year nationwide, said its surcharge ended June 2.
