Why would they charge 50 cents extra if an egg costs 50 cents in the

Because they can. I've been to Waffle House twice. The first time I
ordered waffles. Very disappointing. Given the name, I had high
expectations.

I guess I saved myself some disappointment by not stopping to eat at the
one we passed on a road trip. I can't say I am surprised. I think I have
posted here before about how disappointed pancakes have been at pancake
specialty restaurants. One should expect that when a restaurant
specializes in a particular type of food they should be good. They
could at least be mediocre. They should not be bad.
IHOP. They use outlandish toppings to disguise the mediocrity of
their pancakes. Chocolate-strawberry pancakes. New York Cheesecake
pancakes. Chocolate Chocolate-Chip pancakes. Mexican Tres Leches
Pancakes: layered with vanilla sauce and dulce de leche caramel
sauce and crowned with whipped topping.
Gack.
There *are* good pancake places. This place is near where gm lives.

https://ophmo.com/The cornmeal buttermilk pancakes here are great.
https://southwestdinerstl.com/Sure, IHOP and Waffle House suck. At IHOP, they have a $6 special, with 2 eggs, two slices ofbacon and a short stack(2). At Southwest Diner, that would cost $14.50. At Original Pancake House, 2 eggs with 3 slices of bacon and 3 pancakes is $16.25. Walker Bros. has 2 eggs, 4 slices of bacon and 3 pancakes for $14.50. Both Walker Bros. and Southwest Diner are known to have long lines to get in on weekends, often over an hour.
