That is one of Waffle House’s most popular and satisfying savory bowls! The Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl is a hearty, all-in-one meal combining their signature steak with their famous hashbrowns.1
The Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl is a savory, fully loaded dish that takes the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak and layers them into a bowl with Waffle House’s crispy hashbrown base.2
The standard components are:
- Large Hashbrowns: A generous base of crispy, grilled, shredded potatoes.3
- Thin-Sliced Chuck Cheesesteak: Tender, thin slices of beef steak grilled to order.4
- Grilled Onions: Sweet, caramelized onions (the “Smothered” topping), cooked with the steak.5
- Melted American Cheese: Two slices of American cheese, melted over the top to bind the ingredients together.6
This meal does not typically include eggs, but they are a very popular, customizable add-on.7

Potential/Added Allergens:
- 🥚 Egg (If you add two eggs, which is a common customization).13

❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does the Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl automatically come with eggs?
Answer: No, the standard Cheesesteak Melt Hashbrown Bowl only contains the hashbrowns, steak, onions, and cheese. Eggs must be requested as an additional, paid add-on, which is a common customization.15
2. Can I get other hashbrown toppings in the bowl?
Answer: Absolutely! While it already includes “Smothered” (grilled onions), you can add any other Waffle House toppings, such as Diced (tomatoes), Peppered (jalapeños), or Capped (mushrooms), for a small extra charge per topping.16
3. What kind of steak is used in the bowl?
Answer: The bowl uses thin-sliced chuck cheesesteak (beef).17 This is the same type of meat Waffle House uses for their Cheesesteak Melt sandwich, designed to be quickly cooked and integrated with the other grilled ingredients.
4. Is the Hashbrown Bowl a full dinner portion or a breakfast item?
Answer: Waffle House serves the bowl any time of day (morning, noon, or night).18 It is designed to be a very hearty, filling meal, serving as a popular option for lunch, dinner, or a late-night meal, not just breakfast.
5. Why is the sodium content so high in this meal?
Answer: The high sodium content (over 1,200 mg) is due to the combination of cured/seasoned thin-sliced steak, the high sodium content in the American cheese, and the salt added during the preparation of the hashbrowns on the grill.
