❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does the Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl contain eggs?
Answer: No, the standard Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl does not contain eggs. It consists of hashbrowns, cheesesteak meat, grilled onions, and cheese.9 However, you can easily customize it by adding two eggs (usually scrambled) for a small extra charge.10
2. Is the meat used in the Melt the same as the steak dinner?
Answer: No, Waffle House uses thin-sliced chuck cheesesteak for the Melt sandwiches.11 This is different from the T-Bone or Sirloin steaks offered on the dinner menu. The chuck cheesesteak is designed to be chopped and mixed on the grill.
3. What does the “Texas” mean in the Texas Cheesesteak Melt?
Answer: “Texas” refers to the type of bread used: Texas Toast.12 This is a specific, thick-cut white bread that is buttered and grilled, making for a substantial, sturdy sandwich capable of holding the rich filling.13
4. Can I order the Cheesesteak Melt on a waffle?
Answer: While not an official menu item, Waffle House is famous for accommodating requests. You can often ask for the cheesesteak mixture to be served on a waffle instead of Texas Toast or hashbrowns as a customized “Waffle Hack”.
5. Can I add hashbrown toppings to the Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl?
Answer: Yes, absolutely. Since the Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl already includes “Covered” (cheese) and “Smothered” (onions), you can add any of the other famous toppings, such as Peppered (jalapeños), Capped (mushrooms), or Topped (chili), for a small extra charge per topping.14
