Denny's removed its temporary egg surcharge as of May 21, 2025, according to an announcement on July 3, 2025. This decision indicates an easing of the nationwide egg shortage and the associated increased costs that prompted the surcharge earlier in the year.
The temporary surcharge had been implemented due to a devastating bird flu outbreak that significantly impacted egg availability and prices. Its removal is a positive development for customers, potentially improving their dining experience and reducing the overall cost of egg-containing meals.
The lifting of the surcharge by Denny's, alongside a similar move by Waffle House, suggests a broader moderation in egg commodity prices across the restaurant industry. This could alleviate some of the cost pressures on Denny's margins that were previously impacted by higher product costs.
