❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does Waffle House serve the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit all day?
Answer: Yes! Waffle House is famous for being open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and they serve their entire breakfast menu, including the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, all day and all night.
2. Is the Waffle House biscuit baked or fried?
Answer: The biscuits are baked initially, but they are always grilled (or “finished”) on the flat-top griddle immediately before serving.12 This grilling process is key, as it toasts the cut sides and gives the biscuit its slightly crispy, buttery exterior.
3. Can I substitute sausage for the bacon in this sandwich?
Answer: Absolutely. You can order the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit instead, which substitutes the two slices of bacon with a single, seasoned Jimmy Dean® sausage patty.13 The nutritional content is slightly higher for the sausage version.
4. Is the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit available in a combo?
Answer: Yes. Waffle House typically offers a combo deal that includes the sandwich plus a beverage (like coffee) or a side item (often hashbrowns) for a bundled price that offers better value than ordering à la carte.
5. Why is the sodium content so high in this sandwich?
Answer: The high sodium content comes primarily from three components: 1) the cured bacon, 2) the processed American cheese, and 3) the biscuit itself, which contains a good amount of salt and leavening agents (like baking soda) to help it rise.
