THE LEAD VERDICT
“def tehy totally accommodated my gluten-free needs substituting cornbread for the waffle and made sure the chicken was fried in a separate fryer. tasted just as good as the original dead serious”
“cornbread substitute was kinda dense and crumbly lacking that light fluffy texture that makes chicken and waffles actually work skip it”
ALSO FILED
“had a seat at teh counter and gotta chat with the cook while watching him work - chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy with crispy coating that stayed crunchy even under syrup ha”
“def service was nice but kinda scattered - server forgot the hot sauce i asked for and seemed really overwhelmed by the busy sunday crowd”
“yo tehir house coffee blend was honestly really complex - notes of chocolate adn caramel that paired PERFECTLY with the maple syrup from my waffle stack. finally a brunch place that actually cares about coffee”
“literally weekend brunch rush absolutely overwhelms this cafe with lines out teh door and nowhere comfortable to wait for your table”
“the signature chicken and waffle combo for $16 is an absolute steal — huge piece of perfectly seasoned fried chicken with a fluffy belgian waffle plus syrup and butter. easily enuf food for two meals”
“teh mac and cheese side dish was disappointingly bland and overpriced at $8 for what tasted like basic boxed mac with no real cheese flavor nuff said”
“sunday brunch vibes are unmatched here — bottomless coffee that actually tastes good and watching them make fresh waffles in the open kitchen is pure weekend therapy”
“the wait for a table duriiing weekend brunch is absolutely brutal. 45 minutes with nowhere comfortable to stand in their tiny entrance area”
“THIS is how chicken and waffles should be done - crispy fried bird with real buttermilk coating fluffy waffles that actually held up to syrup and portions that actually filled me up”
“real talk mac and cheese side was disappointing tho - clearly box mix not the creamy homestyle version i was hoping for”
“not even kidding teh fried chicken had this incredible double-fried crunch that shattered between your teeth revealing juicy steaming meat wiht perfectly rendered skin that wasnt greasy at all solid”
“teh waffle was unfortunately dense and chewy rather than light and airy — texture more like day-old bread than fresh belgian waffle”
“not even kidding tehir hot sauce game is on point — a complex blend of cayenne and ghost pepper with undertones of garlic and vinegar that builds heat slowly without overwhelming the chicken's seasoning meh”
“tbh the coating on the chicken while crispy lacked proper seasoning penetration — clearly jsut surface-level spice mix rather than a proper brine or marinade”
