That is one of Waffle House’s most popular sweet treats! The Chocolate Chip Waffle is a fantastic upgrade to their classic offering.
The Chocolate Chip Waffle is a sweet and indulgent twist on the classic. It begins with Waffle House’s Sweet Cream Waffle batter (made from a proprietary mix, fresh eggs, and half-and-half) which is then layered with mini chocolate chips before being cooked in the waffle iron until golden brown and crispy.1 The result is a warm, soft waffle speckled with melted chocolate chips.2

⚠️ Allergens List
The Waffle House Chocolate Chip Waffle contains the following major food allergens:
- 🌾 Wheat / Gluten (in the waffle mix)3
- 🥚 Egg (in the waffle batter)4
- 🥛 Milk (in the half-and-half used for batter and the chocolate chips)5
- 🥜 Soy (in the waffle mix, chocolate chips, and cooking oil)6
Potential Allergens:
- 🌳 Tree Nuts: Waffle House serves Pecan Waffles and often stores nuts, chocolate chips, and other toppings near each other. There is a very high risk of cross-contact with pecans.
❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are the chocolate chips mixed into the batter or put on top?
Answer: The chocolate chips are typically sprinkled onto the batter after it has been poured into the waffle iron, right before the top lid is closed.7 This ensures they are melted into the surface but don’t sink to the bottom of the batter.
2. Can I get a chocolate chip waffle as part of the All-Star Special?
Answer: Yes. When you order the All-Star Special, you get to choose one waffle. You can absolutely select the Chocolate Chip Waffle (or Pecan Waffle) instead of the Classic Waffle, often for a small upcharge.
3. How many chocolate chips are used in the waffle?
Answer: The chocolate chips are typically measured and placed in a standard “topping” cup. Based on nutritional data, this is generally about 1 to 1.5 ounces of chips per waffle, but this can vary based on the specific store and cook.
4. Are the Waffle House Waffles considered sweet or savory?
Answer: Waffle House waffles are famously made with a “sweet cream” batter (using half-and-half), giving them a distinctly sweeter flavor profile compared to traditional yeast-raised or buttermilk waffles common in other restaurants.8
5. Can I order the chocolate chips “Scattered” on the hashbrowns?
Answer: No, the terminology is different. While pecans can sometimes be ordered with hashbrowns, the chocolate chips are specifically a waffle topping. If you want a sweet addition to your hashbrowns, you’d be looking for ham (Chunked) or onions (Smothered), not chocolate chips!
