Looking at recent Waffle House costs for a typical breakfast (2 eggs, meat, hash browns & toast) it was something like $14.50 and I don't think that included the new 50 cent surcharge per egg. By way of comparison, same type of breakfast "up North" when I visited last year was $9.00 including coffee.
There was an update to that article that moved Waffle House to sixth lowest.

It seems like I need to do some research. I don’t trust what I’m seeing online for prices from Waffle House or Darrell’s. Plus, I wonder if there is a surcharge for being close to the Villages. I do know that $12 is a pretty typical entree price for the breakfasts I’ve had recently.
