Amazing food. We went to a bar and the food truck happened to be there that night. We got to the bar and it was packed, so decided to try to find another bar. Before we left, I saw the Coneheads food truck outside and looked at the menu. It looked amazing so I ended up ordering, and for whatever reason they didn’t want us to pay. The chicken and waffle cone was incredible, and they were so sweet to gift us so amazing food. 💜

This place I and my wife discovered by accident and just the title had my curiosity in an uproar but was even more amazed at what they had to offer. Meats. Cheeses. Veggies. You name it, All in a waffle cone! I never cared much for waffles but this tops the cake! The prices are very reasonable and the food is a must try! The service was also very good.

I really don't have to say much, as the reason we wanted to try this gem in the first place was the outstanding reviews! And oh were the reviews spot on. The food was definitely on point! I was skeptical taking the two extremely picky eaters with me, but I got nothing but rave feedback from their meals they had as well. They absolutely loved! For the area, though, I can't say I wasn't skeptical, but the food and the service made it worth overlooking. If you are looking for good food with a twist, this is the place for you and anyone you're trying to impress, a unique experience that they will definitely enjoy and will probably never forget 😉

Yum. Everything was 👌🏼I had cauliflower in agave and rosemary sauce. Couldn't have been better. Grits are a must. Mac and Cheese was perfect. Chicken with 24K (honey mustard) hit the spot. Chicken tender basket was perfect for my 9 year old. Good food, great staff. Will be coming back!

This was a great first experience. The flavors in this were amazing. It was cooked to order. And it didn't take a long time to retrieve my order. Customer service was pleasant welcoming help me with my order for a first timer. The price was reasonable. Parking is limited. But there was parking at the time that I visit. Black owned little hidden gem. That packs a powerful flavor.

Wow, this place is doing it right. The triple C sauce is off the chain. I had the large cone with triple c sauce, mac and cheese topper, and a side of pineapple coleslaw. All of which were amazingly delicious. My wife had the three piece chicken basket with a side of fried cauliflower. If we are in Nashville again, we will, without a doubt, be returning to this establishment. Honestly, this is probably the best chicken I have ever eaten. Don't miss out. Stop by as soon as you can and as much as you can. Great food, great service, and great experience. Wow, again, to how amazingly delicious this place is.

I've never understood the appeal of chicken and waffles, but this place looked really inviting and seemed to have a great sense of humor. It turns out that I don't like traditional chicken and waffles but I love chicken in a waffle. I had the spicy jam sauce on my chicken in a cone with the slaw topper and it was amazing. The staff were all just super nice without being ingratiating. Good vibes. Being a 52-year-old dude, I really liked the music that was playing as well. I'm too old to recognize the artists but I do like early '90s hip hop that's got a positive vibe like De La Soul and that's sort of what they were playing. Mix in that cozy front patio and you've got a winner. Super nice people, a really fun and quality food, and overall the best vibe. This place is good for your soul. It doesn't hurt that it's locally owned by good people. They even have a vegan option. No alcohol. But if you want a cool place to hang out with without booze on a patio in the afternoon, this is your place.

This place was soooooo good! We came in with a group of 16 and they were so on top of the orders that they started coming out before we were even half way through ordering! And they didn't mess up a single order! The chicken cones were super good, but the shrimp cones were AMAZING! The staff was great if! If you were thinking about trying this place out, go down there NOW! If you liked my review please give it a thumbs up. Thanks!

First time and I will defiantly be back. I am not sure why I had not stopped here before. I was not too sure about the whole cone thing, so I got the chicken fingers basket with fried and the pineapple cole slaw. Everything tasted great and cooked perfectly.

This unique place is a must-try in Nashville! Loved my perfectly crispy fried chicken in a waffle cone with a mac & cheese "cap" on top, served with a side of crinkle cut fries! They also have a fried cauliflower option. They have a neat covered front patio with picnic tables that have a hole built in to place your cone so you can easily set it down--you just won't want to because it's so delicious!

Great fried chicken, with lots of choices for sauces. All the sides are excellent. Stuff it in a waffle crepe, no way it can be bad. The staff was also very patient and friendly. Cool place to go with people and hang out

Was in Nashville for a weekend and stopped by on a Friday evening. Was very skeptical as we pulled in as there was no one else there, but once inside the staff was friendly and helpful. My wife and I ordered chicken cones, hers with 24k sauce and mine with chipotle. I got mine topped with their slaw, which was great! We had a side of the grits which were also great! We ate in the outdoor porch area which was near the street, so if you want quiet don't do that. FYI-restrooms were clean.

The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect blend of seasoning. It was a mouthwatering delight that left me craving for more!

Coneheads is a hidden gem! My favorite is the small cone with chicken and 24k sauce (has a tiny kick) topped with the Best Damn Grits! Awesome as dine in or take out, but if you dine in, you can experience the genius tables- thoughtfully drilled holes in case you need to put your cone down (but you probably won't because it's SO GOOD)!

The food was on point!! I've been wanting to go here because the concept intrigued me. The fine was perfectly made. We did half chicken half shrimp Capped with pineapple slaw. Jam sauce on the wings - good! The hostess helped us out explaining and recommending items as it was our first time. Will be back for sure! Oh and shoutout to the artist who painted the murals on the walls - dope!

I brought a lunch date here and was once again left so impressed with the food. After having their tenders again, I again realized how much better they are than anywhere else in Nashville right now. I had the tender basket and my date had a cauliflower cone. The waffle cone was soft, yet held up well even after being slathered in sauce. Tried a side of Mac and cheese, very good and cheesy.

This place is great. The concept is interesting and the cones are delicious. For me, the "small" cone is sufficient. I got the chicken with Mac and cheese cap. I have been here twice and the first time I got the ranch sauce and the second time I got the white barbecue sauce. Both taste wonderful. The cone is not a crunchy cone but a soft cornbread type cone. The music is a little on the loud side but its fine. I enjoyed the food and will make this a regular stop.

Chicken + waffle wrap + Side. Simple. Quick. Easy. - My go-to when I'm in the mood for chicken and wanna cheat meal. - Chicken or Cauliflower are the base options - Tender Basket = 3 pc chicken + 2 sides = $12 - Small corner $8 or Large cone $12 - Pick your base (Chx or Cauliflower) - Your sauce (choose from 5) - A "cap"; which is basically a side that's placed on the top of the cone. Mac & Cheese, Grits, Slaw. - The chicken in the waffle cone is chopped and tossed in the sauce - For the basket, you can get the sauce on top or on the side. - My partners go-to: Large Cone + Chicken + Triple C & 24K + Mac & Cheese - I love their pineapple slaw, and for me to get more, I go with tenders + 2 sides of the slaw. The fry of the chicken varies - I've had it both crispy as well as not much at all, but the chicken is always moist and delicious. I wish their side sauce was a little bigger - I love a plethora of dips.

Took a group here this afternoon.. We were so excited to try it, and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious! Chicken was tender, Mac and cheese was the bomb, and the cone had a touch of sweetness every now and then. It was the perfect texture to eat, without falling apart! Coleslaw was yummy, very mild and refreshing. The service was excellent, they were very nice, made sure we had everything! The art was fun to look at, the menu was easy to understand. They suggested we check out the bathroom before leaving, and I'm glad we did. It was so cool! I won't spoil it for you, you'll just have to visit! Will try again!

Coneheads is one of the best new restaurants in Nashville! I first went for a Yelp Elite event but knew I would be going back multiple times. Today, I got a small cone meal - fried chicken with a slaw topper and fries on the side. Everything in the meal was perfectly delicious! The fries are well seasoned, the chicken is scrumptious, and the pineapple cole slaw is a delicious topper. The small cone with a side is plenty of food for lunch. I used GrubHub to order pickup ahead and the pick-up process was quick and easy. The food was hot and ready on time when I arrived. The porch looks very cute and COVID-safe! I'm looking forward to eating outside there another day.

Best chicken and waffles ever! This place is so legit and they've got a nice twist on the chicken and waffles concept. It's CHICKEN IN A WAFFLE CONE! Perfectly cooked. Perfectly sauced. Perfectly perfect! We shall cross state lines to return.

Give Coneheads a shot! I like the cauliflower/friend chicken combo with Mac and pineapple slaw. It's a small business in East Nashville and it deserves support - the food is really tasty!

Tried this place for the first time. I ordered thechicken waffle with Chicken Finger with rosemary agave and drizzled with chipotle ranch and topped with pineapple slaw. My husband ordered the cauliflower waffle with 24k sauce, pineapple slaw and rosemary agave. It was really good. Personally I don't like anything soggy so by the time we got our food and drove to the park to eat the cone was soggy. My husband loved his. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly. The chicken was good and the sauces were very good. I think I'd prefer mine without the cone unless I go one day and eat there when it's fresh. We'll definitely continue to support! Very good!

The food is great, staff is friendly, and they have an awesome porch! The tables have little cone holes so you can place your food down, which is really neat. Some people have food delivered to their table and others have to wait for their names and go get the food themselves, I don't think their is a rhyme or reason to it. It was about 50/50 as I was watching. The cone itself is grand! Highly recommend getting a cone. I sampled the shrimp and grits cone. I ordered the Jam Sauce (hot) over chicken with a 24K drizzle (which there wasn't much drizzle) topped with Mac and cheese. The flavors went well together and everything was very well seasoned! The chicken wasn't as fried as some of the other pictures I've seen. Many of my pieces were more naked than breaded but still tasted great!

We ordered the chipotle ranch chicken cone and the rosemary-agave chicken cone (both topped with mac & cheese) and WOW they were delicious! The rosemary-agave was my favorite, very sweet and savory and yummy. We will be coming back very soon to try the rest of the menu!

It was so good I just squeezed the cone together and ate it like a wrap!! Highly recommend this unique treat of a place!

This is such a fun and yummy concept. Chicken in a cone, with sauce and mac and cheese (you can change your sauces and toppings). I really enjoyed it. The only thing that would have made it better for me is if the cone was crunchy and not soft, but otherwise an enjoyable experience.

Hats off to Coneheads for taking chicken & waffles to a whole new level! The menu is pretty simple. You can choose between a basket of tenders or a waffle cone. I went the waffle cone route filled with chicken, white BBQ sauce and capped with mac & cheese. You could also choose cauliflower or shrimp (up-charge) as the base and one of there other sauces. My friend ordered the same thing but with the three C chipotle sauce and honestly we couldn't tell a difference between the sauces. We ordered as soon as we walked in and they brought out our food about 5-10 minutes later. They come in trays with a hole in the bottom to hold the cone. There are also holes in the table so you don't have to hold the cone the entire time. They really thought about everything. There are a few benches inside to sit at and there is some cool graffiti on the wall to admire. They also played rap music which you don't hear to often at restaurants. There is also some covered outdoor seating. There are only a few parking spots around the side of the building and beware because the spots are a bit steep.

Great concept and even greater customer service! It was our first time and they took the time to explain the menu and offer recommendations before we ordered! I had the small cone with chicken/rosemary-agave sauce and my husband had the chicken tender snack basket. The chicken tenders were EXCELLENT and the soft, sweet waffle was delectable! Awesome job and kudos to the owner who was there and inquired about our experience. Would definitely go again!!

My friends and I were looking for cool food spot to chill after studying for a major test. We came across this place on TikTok (surprisingly) and were intrigued. We were not disappointed!! Omg the food was absolutely delicious! I got the large combo which includes large cone, side, and drink. I had chicken and shrimp tossed in chipotle ranch drizzled with 24K (which is like a sweet mustard) topped with coleslaw. Sooo yummy!! My friends got either the white bbq or hot sauce and Mac & cheese or grits. Will definitely be back! Also, the artwork around the restaurant and inside the bathroom was very cool SN: be careful when driving there, you might miss it. It next to this plaza at the corner of the street and you have to park on the side of the building.

This newly opened urban treat was delicious!! For weeks, I'd heard of a new black owned chicken spot nestled in Nashville and had been curious if it was worth a shot. We stopped here for a quick pick me up on our way into downtown. The building is located on a corner of a semi-busy intersection. Parking was easy and accessible. The entrance of the location starts you off at outdoor seating. It's cozy and cute with turf grass cushioning the wooden patio furniture. It definitely me hipster/chill vibes. Entering the establishment itself, you experience an incredible esthetic logo wall, that'll make for great Insta stories, an open kitchen to witness the magic happen, and a very large straight to the point menu. We got straight to it and ordered the often pictured "Cone" and hubby opted for the tenders. We both got the 24K sauce which was AMAZING. Just sweet enough to satisfy that tooth, and savory enough to pair with chicken and Mac and cheese. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Seasoned, juicy, and tender. The Mac and cheese was creamy and not too salty, just how I like it. The fries were perfect as well. You'd be surprised how easily a potato can get ruined but these fries were the perfect cut, crispness, and season! The atmosphere was very inviting with an awesome throwback hip hop/r&b station at a good volume for entertainment. I was either chewing or singing the whole time. Definitely a 5/5 experience for me. I'll definitely be back soon!!

I was introduced to this little hole-in-the-wall gem. I ordered the cauliflower in a waffle cone with a side of pineapple coleslaw. The chef chose the perfect combo of sauce for my cone that gave me just the right amount of heat I like. So flavorful. I will definitely come back here again.

Food was pretty good. I ordered the Chicken Tender Platter as I'm not a huge fan of waffles or waffle cones. The meal came with 24K and the Chipotle Ranch both delicious. The fries are obviously frozen but the seasoning on them makes them good. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the Mac and cheese. It was kind of sweet and I wasn't sure if that was because of something else. I'm sure the Mac is good as an option for the Waffle Cone "Cap"... The guy who rang me up was super sweet. I told him I was going to quickly run to my car and he ended up bringing my food out to me. Not sure of his name unfortunately.

This place is a must stop when in Nashville. The chicken was perfectly breaded and fried. The waffle cone is soft but not soggy and the perfect texture. There is a variety of sauces to choose from to toss your chicken in. They have little holes in the table you can put your cone in so it doesn't mess up when you sit it down on the table. I give it 4 stars because it was not the cleanest. Almost all the tables had something on them and the bathroom needed tended to.

Unique, Hidden Gem...VERY simple menu, but very good. From the chicken "wraps" (the wrap is a waffle) to the tenders platter and delicious dipping sauce selection you can't go wrong here. The owner was super nice and the food came out very quick. We opened the place up @ 11am and we hadn't been seated for 5 minutes and our food was on the table. A+

Y'all this place knows what it's doing. Never in my life did I think cauliflower could be lovable. Until today. I ordered the cauliflower cone with 24K sauce and pineapple coleslaw on top and it was delicious in every way. Not over or under breaded, not over or under sauced, just perfect. I will 100% be returning to try their shrimp next. My boyfriend got the fried chicken with both the 24k sauce and jam sauce, as well as the pineapple coleslaw on top. We were both in heaven! My only regret? That we didn't check this place out sooner!

Coneheads Haiku Here's the thing: eat here. That's what you should be doing Right now. Enjoy. Thanks. My go to is the regular cone w/ chicken or Cauliflower tossed in 24K sauce and a cap of slaw. Yes. Follow me into your future. You'll love it. I hope you do. I do. I want you to. And I know you're on Yelp right now, so you're probably making judgements etc to narrow down your choices. I get it. But you want this. Trust me. I mean, you've read this far, we're basically good-internet-friends now. Trust me.

Do you know what you need? You need fried chicken with mac and cheese on top of it served in an ice cream cone. Because it's 2020 and everyone needs mask and a bunch of fried chickeny goodness calories. That's just science. Located in the heart of God-knows-where, you will literally drive right by this place. The store is only like 800 ft² and the parking lot is clearly designed to deter you. But don't be deterred friends. You need to get your chicken on. There's only one parking space in the front and it's designated as handicapped accessible. Able-bodied folks can enjoy parking on a 40° incline sideways. If you manage to make it inside, you will be greeted by a great front of house team member who saw our confused / 'I just survived your death parking lot' look and offers suggestions. The staples are fried shrimp, fried chicken, or fried cauliflower. Or if you're us, all of the above. You can get your base of fried deliciousness in either a basket or an ice cream cone. Small ice cream cone is more than enough for a normal human although my teenager explained that a basket of fried chicken with sides of mac and cheese and french fries was the way to go. The meat is in cut into bite size portions (to save you all that pesky chewing!), dipped in a batter that I haven't seen in Nashville before that is thin and light and not heavy crazy or insanely spicy (think New England style fried shrimp) and pretty amazing. We left feeling satisfied but not greasy. We tried fries, fried cauliflower, and mac and cheese as sides. The sides are normal human portions which is to say get more for your teenagers. I was a big fan of fried cauliflower nibbles . The place was very clean and multiple staff members came to check on us to see if we like the food. We did and I really hope this place succeeds! Enjoy!

Really really good! I was thinking the cone was like a waffle Ice cream cone but it wasn't it was more of a cornbread flavor and tortilla consistency. I forgot to take a picture of the pineapple coleslaw it was amazing!! My only negative is how far it is from where I live....

This has become one of my lunch run addictions. If you haven't gone here and tried one of the cones, you are missing out. I have no idea what that chicken breading is or the seasoning they use, but it's delish. I've tried every sauce and my favorites are the 24K (think spicy mustard with just a touch of honey) and the White BBQ. If you can take the heat, Hot Jam literally has the best flavor of any hot sauce I've ever tried; but i have to get it on the side, it's high heat! Mac and Cheese and the Grits are both bombshell; get both, always. And Lawd if they have the shrimp, get it. Also, Patio is great!!! Parking: Food Pick ups can be cray, so park in the empty lot just north of the restaurant to avoid back ups getting in/out.

This is a little hole in the wall in the out skirts of Nashville. We went here because all the breakfast places were just closed in the area, and this was the only thing in walking distance. I'm not just how we could have missed this little spot, because it is absolutely amazing. This place has phenomenal chicken and a few really unique sauces that are all a must try. My only complaint is that the front door is extremely dirty with chicken grease from people touching the glass and out table was pretty sticky. Everything else in the establishment is clean and the kitchen window is wide open, so it's not that it's a dirty spot to eat at (hence why it's still a 5 star spot for me). If you find yourself in the area looking for some quality chicken, just make a stop and get some grub.

Do you like fried chicken? Do you like waffles? If you answered yes to both of them then you gotta visit this place! I'm not a huge chicken and waffles person but this was so gooood! I got the waffle cone with chicken and cauliflower without anything on it and it was great! The waffle was sweet and you can eat it straight up and the same goes for the chicken and cauliflower as well! I got 2 sauces on the side and they were great as well! Will definitely be back to try the sides and the other sauces!

Coneheads is now one of my favorite spots in Nashville. The staff made me feel so welcome from the moment I stepped in the door. And with it being my first time, they graciously explained how it all worked. If you are looking for something outside of the traditional Hot Chicken tour, give Coneheads a try. The drawing point for me was definitely the cones lol. Aesthetically, its an eye catcher so I was curious about how it would taste all together. You basically build your meal. You can choose a cone or basket and your filling options include chicken tenders, fried shrimp or cauliflower. I went with the large cone and the fried shrimp and chicken tender combo filling. The sauce options can be a bit overwhelming, but the cashier took her time explaining each one and adding in her personal favorites. In the end I chose the 24K and Jam Sauce with the mac and cheese topping. The mac and cheese really added a creamy relief to the heat from the sauces. The sauce combo really complemented each other. The jam sauce was just spicy enough. I will definitely be back to try another cone combination!

All the praises for Coneheads! A well deserved 5/5. After visiting for a yelp event the other day, I was already planning my next trip back. A new chicken place in the neighborhood with an interesting concept, yummy sides, and friendly staff! During my yelp visit, I enjoyed the waffle cone drizzled with 24k and white BBQ on the side. *drooling* what a combination! I also opted to try the Mac and cheese on the side and it did not disappoint. The waffle cone was the right compliment to the savory chicken. Not too sweet and the perfect consistency. During today's visit, my boyfriend and I both decided to get the tenders. Again, I stuck with my (now decided) go to combination: 24k and white bbq. You get two sides with the tenders: I chose Mac and cheese and fries. The cashier also gave me a sample of the grits - which will definitely be ordered my next visit. I'm super excited to come visit again and to enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio when weather gets nicer! Oh and that liquor/beer license won't hurt either ;) Highly recommend visiting for yourself, significant other, friends, family, or a small group get together. Suggestion for the staff: maybe some way to serve tap water and for those of us that like to dunk tenders, a wider cup for the sauces.

Ok, if every vegetable was fried like this cauliflower, maybe more people would like them. It's crunchier than tempura, and more seasoned. I would gladly eat a basket full of they sold them that way. But Coneheads is not named for the cauliflower, it's about the ingenious use of the waffle come, which they have perfected in flavor and the construction. The waffle holds CHICKEN TENDERS (or cauliflower) to create a handheld entree. The cone of Coneheads does not just hold the tender tenders (or florettes). I mean, that would be enough of a gift. The chef's genius takes it up a bunch of notches by a giving you the option of topping it with housemate mac and cheese (can we say kind-friendly?), PINEAPPLE slaw, fries, or I think they call them the best damned grits (creamy and dreamy, with perhaps a hint of garlic). Those grits are like taking your mouth to a spa day. I mean they pamper the buds. I did not want to finish my serving right away. It is almost like when one gets a box of fine chocolates. You don't come them all up in a sitting! Ok, maybe you do and maybe I'm waxing too eloquently about grits, but hey... And lastly, there are the sauces for the chicken. Jam kicked me in the throat, 24K is a gourmet honey mustard, and there's white BBQ and something else. But what I want to really shout about is the ROSEMARY AGAVE! Yes, I'm shouting. I mean, I applaud the mind that created that recipe and had the audacity to use it to adorn chicken tenders. I'm glad it comes on the side because it's too classy to be slathered. I used it deliberately too enhance particular bites. CB at the register was incredibly welcoming, as was Jen, the co-owner? I was there for about 15 minutes and there were 3 Jen(n)ifers in the intimate space, which tickled me. There are three long tables with, get this, holes to insert your Congress so they don't tip over if you dine in. Soooo clever. They have canned beverages, including San Pelligrino (I liked the bubbly water), and bottled water. Parking is along the side at what might be called a gangster lean as the street slopes. Anyway, I look forward to going back. A plate with chocken and 2 sides is $10 and cones are $7 and $10.

Every new restaurant needs 3 things to get their name out there: great service, great employees, and great food. Coneheads EASILY knocked everything out of the park (or I guess chicken coop, in this case). When we arrived, the cashier let us know how the menu works. They have a small and a large sized waffle cone to choose from and you can add chicken, fried cauliflower, or both in the cone. There's also a variety of sauces to toss them in, and for an extra buck you can add coleslaw, mac and cheese, or grits on top. Of course i went with the large chicken waffle cone with the 24k sauce (which is like a sweet honey mustard BBQ-ish type of sauce. Really good and highly recommend it!) and some mac on top. I also added a side of grits, because I heard they're amazing. The waffle cone was so good y'all. They're handmade and not exactly like your typical waffle cone. I was expecting one of those solid rock tooth-breaking ice cream cones, but these were sorta softer and crunchy at the same time, and super easy to eat. It was quite literally an easy way to eat chicken and waffles AND still making it resemble chicken and waffles.

Y'all need to eat here!! Wow. Awesome food. We went in and tried the chicken in a cone with two sauces & topped with grits (husband's with Mac n' cheese)... it was CRAZY GOOD!! The soft and lightly sweet cone was the perfect balance to our sweet & spicy chicken. And the mac n'cheese was so creamy with that homemade real cheese deliciousness. Real deal. Our our 8yr old son loved the chicken & 3 C's sauce. He was licking his fingers clean. Good stuff. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great decor & graffiti art. Super clean. We will be back!

Didn't know what to expect ("chicken cones?? What?") - and was surprisingly impressed! I had chicken in white BBQ sauce topped with Mac & cheese in a cone, and it was so tasty. The cone had a hint of sweetness, the chicken was seasoned well, and I loved the combo of the flavor of the Mac & cheese with the chicken. Not at all arguing that this is healthy, but I don't feel sickeningly full or gross after eating my full cone. The restaurant interior and patio were super cute and clean, and the staff was super friendly. I arrived 5 min before closing and they still helped me! I would recommend going to eat there in person or ordering takeout and picking up in person - I would not imagine a cone would travel particularly well. Absolutely planning to go back, and would recommend!

If you love chicken or if you are a vegan/vegetarian, you need to check this place out. This is truly a hidden gem in East Nashville. They put chicken or cauliflower in a cone and it works! The food is cooked perfectly and served by a friendly staff. I only wish there were more locations. Loved it and can't wait to go back.

OMG! That rosemary agave sauce! I need a giant bottle of it to dip EVERYTHING in! 1st time ordering from Coneheads and it could easily become a new favorite! My husband and I got chicken cones and 2 different sides each and then shared them so we could try all the things. Fries, pineapple coleslaw, mac & cheese and fried cauliflower and it was ALL amazing!

This place was an unique as it was delicious. First of all the staff was incredible and explained the menu in detail and gave his suggestion along with the most popular order. Food came out very quickly and then came the best part. The chicken and sauce was fantastic. I got the 24k and the jam sauce mixed together. Spicy yet perfect. To top it off the lemonade was so refreshing and delicious with my meal. I would give this place 10/10 and it's instantly one of my favorite places I've ever been to. Would recommend to everyone.

Excellent food. Unique experience on chicken and waffle, definitely worth the try. Music a little loud, was hungover after night on Broadway so could have used a bit more subtle tone, but some mag disagree. Other cons were tables were very sticky. Food was great, and person taking order was very helpful. Recommended half and half (chxn & cauli) w/ 24K sauce.
