I had the chicken and waffles with some steak fries and a lemonade, and it was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time.
The chicken was overcooked in old grease so it sat heavy in the stomach for hours, but at least it tasted decent - comparable to Popeye's so mediocre at best.
The waffles were inedibly sour.
I've never had a waffle taste sour.
I had to Google if waffles were sour in case I forgot something, turns out putting sour cream in waffles is a thing. If that's the case then they used way too much of it that just left a horrible tang after each bite of something that's supposed to be sweet.
Gave up after 3 bites.
It was such a jarring experience that MAYBE if there were advertised as sour cream waffles or something then it could be expected and appreciated for the novel flavor. But they were just supposed to be plain old waffles.
Maybe the batter had gone bad, that could probably taste sour. Dunno.
Oh and they weren't crispy. If I want a soggy waffle that is just passable then I'd go to a waffle house and skip the premium price.
And the biggest thing wrong in the whole thing was the syrup. I was expecting actual maple syrup, what I got was maple flavored corn syrup.
Disgusting.
If nothing else changes then at least that should, because I may as well go to waffle house if I want some bottom of the barrel aunt jamima maple flavored corn syrup. Do better. Jack the price up a dollar to justify the cost if need be but trying to sell the premium experience of chicken and waffles with CORN SYRUP made me realize why the place was dead empty at 1pm.
Ah, and the freshly made lemonade is 100% freshly mixed Country Time lemonade or some other lemonade flavored drink mix. I've had enough lemonade flavored drink mix to tell the difference between the real stuff and imitation.
There was a haze of grease smoke that just stuck around the whole time we were there. A sign of poor ventilation so that might do wonders if you have a breathing issue.
The service was good enough in comparison to everything else. No real greeting, and took the cashier lady to finish up whatever she was doing before acknowledging us, no "just a minute" no "sorry about that" just right into "how can I help you". Honestly surprised I got that since I never got the fries.
Oh yeah, can't really say anything about the fries since they never came and.
In their defense I only ate the food for about 5 minutes - after waiting a good 20 with no one else coming in - before being too disgusted to finish. So it may have taken them another 5 to get the fries out to me. They could've been good, but I couldn't have been bothered to figure out since everything else was was pretty bottom on the barrel.
