Mannn this food was soo good! One of the best waffles I've ever had! I had the waffle with the three piece wings and those wings were just as amazing!...
I am a California native and was craving some chicken and waffles from Roscos or Lolos. Most places in the Chicago area are serving Belgian style waffles and chicken 🙄. And i came across this location serving the traditional flat waffle. I got excited at the possibility of having a good replacement for Roscoes. Unfortunately they did miss the mark. I want to say the vibe was immaculate and the decor was very warm and classy. The service was a little slow. We were there for about 7 minutes before we met our waitress. The food came out fast. Almost too fast as if they might not have been freshly fried? It wasn’t pipping hot but it wasn’t cold or anything like that. It was totally fine but I am a bit skeptical that it was cooked that quickly. So we got the half chicken for $32 which I felt was quite expensive but ok. Also got the red beans and rice and waffles and scrambled eggs. Now the flavor of the chicken was good but one dimensional. The Cajun red beans and rice was missing some key Cajun spice! I’m not convinced it contained the holy trinity or smoked ham hocks or turkey. The waffles were good, they had an interesting “chewiness” that reminded me of like a gluttonous rice flour. I’m not sure if that was international or if they were over beaten but I enjoyed them! All and all I wanted a good replacement for my chicken and waffles on the west coast, although they missed the mark for me, there’s a good chance you will enjoy this place!
Was driving past and decided to stop. I'm so glad I did. Everything was fresh and so good. A course I went back already.
