Kate Furman: Get the chicken and waffles regardless of time of day and smother them in honey and hot sauce. Don't miss the maple cured bacon either.
Marlon B: Chicken and waffles are amazing. Get there early because the wait time, but with food that good you can see why. 😋
Keith Harvey: Chicken and waffles are on-point, catfish and coleslaw was great too and this drink called the "taildragger" is my favorite drink there.

Luz Cruz: Amazing chicken and waffles. This place is always packed on the weekends, I would recommend going early to bypass the churchgoers.
Buford Barnes: Best house of chicken & waffles in the city (this is an urban take on southern soul food that originated in Harlem, where fried chicken, waffles, syrup, and hot sauce combine with awesome results).
Dwyer Williams: Excellent and super friendly service. Smothered chicken and waffles are fantastic! Candied sweets are good. Sweet tea a bit too sweet but all in all a great eating experience.

Kat Javier Laureano: The chicken & waffles are great and so are the mac & cheese, salmon, & mashed potatoes!
CL Burke: Short rib sliders = fantastic. Tilapia, mac and cheese (the best!!!), and garlic mashed - very good. Chicken and waffles - amazing, but want MORE chicken!!! It's that good! Skip the fries.
Chris Vierig: Go on Tuesday nights for live music! Also, probably some of the best chicken and waffles ever.

Kerin Lin: Can't go wrong with the chicken and waffles appetizer! Chop suey and jerk chicken were equally amazing. Pass on the rice pudding - the pina colada flavoring was overpowering.
Joyful Belly: One of the best restaurant atmospheres - warm, friendly, full of noise and yet intimate at the same time. Some of the best chicken and waffles I've had.
Phanessa: No reservations on weekends, get in before 11am and avoid a long wait. Sundays feature amazing live music. Get the chicken and waffles, you won't regret it.

Minnie Kim: Fried chicken and waffles, the everything crepes, and the french toast are all must-tries! Also, the rosemary fries :)
Vera Chan: Apple Champagne Cocktail & White Peach Bellini😞 - too strong, Grapefruit & orange juice 😐, fried chicken & waffles😋, and short ribs benedict(special)😋 - the side goes very well w/ their ketchup!
Davneet Kohli: Chicken & waffles is probably the best brunch meal I've EVER had. Instead of fried eggs, I got poached eggs w/hollandaise sauce. Chicken & waffles eggs benny! Sounds weird but trust me, it's amazing!

Brad Benson: The chicken & waffle grilled cheese might be the best thing I've ever eaten...
Kayleigh Harrington: Brunch was delicious. Perfect hangover food - a fried chicken and waffles grilled cheese with a Siracha maple dip and duck nachos. Oh not to mention the Tetris shaped tots. Would definitely recommend.
Jeremy Jacobowitz: The games and beer may bring you in, but chef lee's menu is what will keep you! Loved my chicken and waffle grilled cheese sandwich! A must have!
