Waffle House is known for letting customers take control of their plates — and nothing proves that better than their Build Your Own Hashbrown Bowl option. Whether you’re hungry for a quick protein-packed breakfast or a cheesy, fully loaded bowl, you can create it your way.
Here’s exactly how it works, what ingredients you can pick from, and how to get the most flavor out of your next custom order.
🧂 Start with the Base: Golden Hashbrowns
Every bowl begins with Waffle House’s signature shredded hashbrowns — cooked to golden perfection, crispy on the outside and soft in the center. It’s a warm, satisfying foundation you can build on.
You can even double or triple the hashbrowns for a bigger portion.
🧀 Add Your Favorite Cheese
You’ll get to pick from melty cheese options like:
American Cheese 🧀
Swiss Cheese
Cheddar Cheese (select locations)
Adding cheese gives your bowl a creamy, indulgent flavor base.
🍳 Choose Your Protein
Here’s where you make it hearty. Select from:
Scrambled Eggs
Bacon
Sausage
Ham
Grilled Chicken (if available)
Some customers mix proteins — like sausage and bacon — for the ultimate combo.
🌶️ Pile on the Toppings
Waffle House offers a range of customizable toppings that take your bowl from basic to bold:
Grilled Onions
Jalapeños
Tomatoes
Peppers
Mushrooms
Chili
Sausage Gravy
🔥 Want it spicy? Ask for extra jalapeños or hot sauce on the side.
💵 How Much Does It Cost?
The Build Your Own Hashbrown Bowl typically starts around $6.00–$8.50, depending on your protein and toppings. Each extra ingredient may cost an additional $0.50–$1.25.
