Denny’s, the popular American diner chain, has reportedly joined a growing number of restaurants responding to the nationwide egg shortage by adding a temporary surcharge to its egg-based meals at some locations.

Earlier this month, Waffle House announced it was adding a 50-cent per egg surcharge on all its menus. WASHINGTON — Denny's will add a surcharge to all meals containing eggs as the restaurant chain deals with rising costs amid the nationwide egg shortage.

Management at Denny's locations in Clive and Davenport confirmed to the Register on Tuesday that their establishment had implemented a $0.50 surcharge on every plate a customer orders that contains eggs. They didn't say how long the surcharge will remain in effect.
