Waffle House is America’s largest breakfast chain with more than 2,000 sites across the country.
But, on Monday, chiefs rolled out the egg surcharge.
“’Consumers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions,” a chain spokesperson said.
“We are continuously monitoring egg prices and will adjust or remove the surcharge as market conditions allow.”
Egg prices have rocketed as farmers across the nation struggle to combat a bird flu outbreak.
Officials at the Department of Agriculture fear egg prices could rise by 20% this year.
Eggs were 36.8% more expensive in December 2024 than they were in December 2023.
Vice president JD Vance warned that price drops may not be sudden.
“Prices are going to come down, but it’s going to take a little bit of time,” he told CBS News on Sunday.
