Not even Waffle House can escape the rising cost of eggs, as the popular 24-hour breakfast chain is now placing a 50 cent surcharge on every egg sold.

Waffle House customers are unhappy with the restaurant chain, after it put a 50 percent surcharge on eggs as a result of the current bird flu outbreak. Newsweek has reached out to Waffle House via email for comment.

Waffle House announced it will be adding a $0.50 surcharge to all egg items on the menu sold at its more than 2,000 locations because of soaring egg prices caused by the bird flu. The surcharge went into effect Monday.

The Waffle House restaurant chain is putting a 50 cent per egg surcharge in place temporarily due to the biggest bird flu outbreak in a decade.

The restaurant chain, which serves breakfast all day, said it was adding the temporary 50-cent surcharge because the bird flu has caused a shortage in the egg supply.

Those looking to order eggs with their Waffle House meal should now expect to pay a 50-cent surcharge per egg.

Waffle House became one of the first big chains to join smaller restaurants with surcharges for egg dishes. Economists don’t see egg-price relief in the near-term.

Waffle House says temporary increase took effect on Monday and impacts all menus at the 24-hour chain's restaurants.

U.S. diner chain Waffle House has added a 50-cent surcharge for every egg in a customer’s order, the company said in a statement posted in its restaurants on Monday.

The chain announced the change by slapping stickers on its menus, informing customers of a 50-cent surcharge per egg, effective this week. The restaurant's two-egg breakfast, which comes with toast and a side, was listed at $7.75 on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
