Waffle House Tests 7 Taco Varieties at 45 Atlanta Locations

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 21

Summary

  • Seven taco varieties are being sold for a limited time at about 45 Waffle House restaurants in metro Atlanta, marking a broader push beyond the chain’s traditional breakfast menu.
  • The test includes egg-and-cheese breakfast tacos with bacon, sausage, chicken sausage or ham, plus cheesesteak melt, chicken melt and patty melt tacos available all day.
  • Waffle House said the trial began a week ago and early feedback has been positive, though social media responses have split between enthusiasm and criticism that tacos are unnecessary.
  • Atlanta has served as a recent test market for the chain, which tried canned cold brew at nine area restaurants in 2025 and added chicken sausage in late 2023.
