That is a great choice! The Waffle House Pecan Waffle is one of their signature items and is a true Southern classic.1
The Pecan Waffle is Waffle House’s famous, golden-brown waffle infused with pecans.2 The waffle batter is made with “sweet cream,” giving it a slightly richer, sweeter flavor than standard waffle batter.3 What makes it special is that the pecans are cooked inside the waffle, not just sprinkled on top, resulting in toasted, crunchy nuts embedded throughout the entire waffle. It is served hot with butter/margarine and a side of syrup.

❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are the pecans mixed into the batter before cooking?
Answer: Typically, no. Waffle House cooks their specialty waffles by pouring the batter into the hot iron first, and then sprinkling the pecans directly onto the batter before closing the lid. This ensures the pecans are toasted and embedded throughout the finished waffle.
2. Can I get a plain waffle without the pecans?
Answer: Yes. The “Classic Waffle” is the standard version made without the pecans or any other specialized toppings. It is lower in calories and does not contain tree nuts (though the risk of cross-contact with nuts from the shared equipment remains).
3. Does Waffle House offer any other waffle toppings or flavors?
Answer: Yes. While the Pecan Waffle is the most famous, Waffle House often offers other flavor chips that can be added to the waffle, such as Chocolate Chip or Blueberry. These are also usually sprinkled on the batter as it cooks.
4. What is the difference between the Classic Waffle and the Pecan Waffle batter?
Answer: Waffle House uses a special “sweet cream” waffle mix for all their waffles, which gives the batter a slightly sweeter, richer flavor than standard plain waffles. The only difference between the Classic and Pecan Waffle is the addition of the nuts.
5. What kind of syrup do they serve with the Pecan Waffle?
Answer: Waffle House typically serves a sweet, corn syrup-based, maple-flavored syrup with all their waffles. They also provide butter/margarine and sometimes offer sugar-free syrup upon request, though availability can vary.
