❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is the Sausage Biscuit available all day?
Answer: Yes! Like most of the breakfast items at Waffle House, the Sausage Biscuit is available to order 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.11
2. Can I add cheese or egg to my Sausage Biscuit?
Answer: Absolutely. This is a very common customization. You can upgrade the sandwich to a Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit for an additional charge.12 This adds approximately $\sim 140$ extra calories and around $310$ mg of sodium.
3. Is the Waffle House biscuit scratch-made or pre-made?
Answer: Waffle House biscuits are generally prepared from a mix or frozen dough that is baked/prepared in-house and then grilled to order on the flat-top. While not “scratch-made” from raw ingredients like flour and milk, they are freshly cooked on the grill for service.
4. What is the leanest meat option for a biscuit?
Answer: The Bacon Biscuit is generally the leanest option. The Bacon Biscuit has fewer calories ($\sim 550$ kcal) and less saturated fat than the Sausage Biscuit ($\sim 510$ kcal), though the nutritional difference is small.
5. Can I get gravy on my Sausage Biscuit?
Answer: Yes, many Waffle House locations offer a Sausage Gravy Biscuit or will serve the sausage biscuit topped with gravy for an additional charge.13 The sausage gravy is a classic Southern addition that turns the handheld item into a messier, richer, fork-and-knife meal.
