Had the smothered chicken with rice and gravy , collard greens , macaroni and cheese , and raspberry iced tea . Ended my meal with peach cobbler and a scoop of vanilla ice cream .

Wendell Robinson

Okay, forget all those pics with the chicken on the side of the waffles . Put the chicken on top, hit it with some hot sauce then pour the syrup over the whole smash. It just works.

Serious Eats

This is perfectly salted, crunchy, juicy, chicken at its best, and paired with the waffles , you've got a combination of food that's just plain good.

Had Rev. Chris lemon catfish dinner with red beans and rice and it was sooooo good. Then they sang happy birthday to me and gave me cheesecake ! Perfect!

Pamela Howell

I enjoyed the combo plate of chicken and waffles with eggs and grits !"Yum".I also like the catfish !I am pleased that while the food is tasty ,it was not too salty.

Be prepared to wait. The space is small but turnover is fast. Catfish , red beans and rice was good. I went with a party of 5 and when ready to pay was told the bill can only be split in half.

Tonya's Choice comes with 3 pieces of chicken and a soft, delicious waffle . Throw a side of Mac'n'cheese in there as well !

Monique Matheny

The waffles are good but they're thin & not as thick as I remember from a few years ago--maybe they changed the recipe or my memory is off, either way give 'em a try.

Nikkia J Smith

The sweet potatoes are sooo good! The chicken is nice & crispy ! The greens were ok, I had to mix it with my cornbread . The mac & cheese was ok... Overall, I would eat from here again.

Jennifer Guyton

It doesn't matter if you make reservations or not, just make sure all of your party is there to be seated. Food was tasty and cooked fresh. Get there early to park close.

Alex Gasca

I had been dying to go there .. From Peoria .. Today is my anniversary. And me am my hubby decided to go to .. Chicken an Waffles House on Martin Luther King.. I must say it very enjoyable .. !!

Cheyenne King

I’ve been here multiple times, but yesterday everything seemed a little off. Food was cold coffee was also cold, our waitress seemed a little stressed. Still love the food but I just wished it was hot

Jake Smith

If this is your first time here, pass on the onions and gravy that are an option for chicken . Stick to the namesake of the place: order just the chicken and just the waffles .

Tom Miles
