Chicago's Home of Chicken & Waffles

The cocktails were wonderfully unique. The atmosphere was historically kept in tact and a nice eclectic mix of cultural decor. I loved the building! Our server was very friendly and she gladly recommended a nice entree and it was great. Nice, intimate dining experience!

This review has nothing to do with the taste of the food. The taste of the food was fine except for the rice...I think it was Minute rice. My kids and I enjoyed the food for the most part. The waitress (Jessica) was ok and the manager that walked around was ok too. This review is all about bad business practices. EVERYTHING ON MY BILL WAS HIGHER THAN IT WAS ON THE MENU...EVEN THE POP.....EVERYTHING!! After we ate and asked for the bill, the waitress came up to the table with this little handheld machine and gave me my total. I had to ask her for a receipt. 🚩🚩 The receipt prices DID NOT match the menu prices. They were a few dollars more. 🚩🚩So now I understand why I had to ask for a receipt vs them just providing one. I asked her why the prices were more and she said someone else mentioned it weeks ago and they are in the process of getting new menus printed or they had new menus printed and they hadn't been put out yet...ummm 😒😒. I didn't mind paying for my food but I do not like the dishonesty that happened. This isn't good business practices and they are definitely getting over on people. If the prices are higher this needs to be stated prior to dining. And if not, the lower prices should be honored.

This is my go to if I'm missing southern comfort/soul food. Their fried chicken is perfectly cooked every time I visit and it's just lightly coated with flour. It's crunchy but closer to "naked" fried chicken which I can get behind. The hardest part is deciding which sides to get. Good luck picking just 3! Mac and cheese, yams, collard greens, are all excellent choices. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the waffle itself. It doesn't stand up to the quality of the other food. Service is good. They take care of you and you're generally served quickly unless it's a busy weekend dinner service. I've had to wave down a server a couple of times but I honestly don't mind it. I feel welcome and at home when I eat here.
