Waffle House, a beloved breakfast chain, has recently announced that they will be implementing a new egg surcharge in response to rising costs. This decision has been made due to the increasing cases of bird flu in poultry production plants across the nation. As a result, Waffle House has had to make some changes in order to continue providing their customers with the best quality food.
In a statement obtained by Atlanta News First, Waffle House explained, "The ongoing egg shortage caused by HPAI has led to a significant increase in egg prices. This has put both customers and restaurants in a difficult position. As a company, we are closely monitoring the situation and will adjust or remove the surcharge as market conditions allow."
Eggs are a key ingredient in many of Waffle House's menu items, such as their famous All-Star Special. The restaurant takes pride in using fresh, Grade A large eggs in all of their dishes. However, due to the shortage, these eggs have become harder to come by, resulting in higher prices.
Despite the temporary increase in cost, Waffle House has reassured their customers that they will continue to offer their signature dishes as long as they are able to source the necessary ingredients. "We remain committed to providing our customers with quality, fresh-cracked, Grade A Large eggs in their favorite meals," the company added.
Waffle House is not the only establishment facing challenges due to the poultry shortage. Georgia, the leading chicken producer in the nation, confirmed its first bird flu outbreak at a commercial farm in January. Additionally, many grocery stores in the southeast region have reported limited availability of eggs, with prices reflecting the scarcity. According to Nerdwallet, the consumer price index has shown a 36.8% increase in the price of eggs over the past year.
While it is uncertain when prices will stabilize, Waffle House plans to discontinue the egg surcharge when the situation improves. They are committed to providing their customers with affordable and delicious meals, and are hopeful for a resolution in the near future. In the meantime, they are grateful for the support of their customers and the community during this challenging time.

This act of generosity highlights the strong community and customer relationships that Waffle House values and strives to maintain.
