❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I order the hashbrowns “All the Way” in the Bacon Hashbrown Bowl?
Answer: Yes, you can! You can request any of Waffle House’s hashbrown toppings to be included in your bowl. Ordering it “All the Way” means adding Smothered (onions), Covered (cheese), Chunked (ham), Diced (tomatoes), Peppered (jalapeños), and Capped (mushrooms) to the bowl’s existing ingredients.
2. Is this bowl served with regular or large hashbrowns?
Answer: The Hashbrown Bowls are typically built on a base of Large Hashbrowns, which is double the amount of the regular side portion.12 This is why the bowls are significantly higher in calories and carbohydrates than a standard egg platter.
3. Can I substitute the scrambled eggs for a different style?
Answer: Yes. While the default is two scrambled eggs, Waffle House staff can usually accommodate requests for the eggs to be cooked another style (such as over easy or sunny-side up) before adding them to the bowl.13
4. What is the difference between the Bacon and Sausage Hashbrown Bowls?
Answer: The primary difference is the meat and the nutritional impact. The Sausage Hashbrown Bowl (made with two crumbled sausage patties) is higher in both calories ($\sim 920$ kcal) and fat ($\sim 60$ g) compared to the Bacon bowl ($\sim 800$ kcal and $\sim 48$ g fat), while offering a similar amount of protein.
5. Can I order the bowl without cheese?
Answer: Absolutely. You can request the Bacon, Egg & Hashbrown Bowl without cheese. This is a great way to save calories (14$\sim 100$ kcal) and saturated fat, and also eliminate the dairy allergen from the dish.15
