Random Yelp search for breakfast while mom was in town. Was looking for something delicious and filling, but that did not cost the equivalent to dinner on gold platters. Found this little spot, and jumped in.
Interior reminds me of a cross between a renovated donut shop or a Boba tea spot. Ordering was done at the register. The hostess/waitress was nice, but did not come across as welcoming at first. She dryly guided us through the menu, and seemed to perk up a bit once our ordering was complete.
The menu was full of options, from fruit covered to all types of other toppings, and includes a build your own waffle section as well.
I settled on chicken and waffles, because... duh. Lol
Cute tip: you can get chicken tenders, wings or thighs as the star of your meal. There was the option of ranch, hot sauce, and some sauce (I can't remember the name of) which after tasting it, reminded me of chick fil a sauce with lots of cayenne pepper. The meal came with 2 eggs and a side. I opted for a side of seasoned potatoes. Mom ended up with a waffle, eggs and ham with fruit and whipped cream on the side.
The waffles were good - although they were not spectacular, they did not need any syrup. I forgot to mention I opted for chicken thighs (because....duh lol), which were very tasty. One thing I can't stand is faux flavored wings (all the seasoning is on the outside) - which these definitely were not. They were fried well, and were not heavily battered which allowed for flavor minus the over floured texture, and still maintained a juicy inside. I would return just for the chicken to be honest.
The seasoned potatoes were tasty. The fruit side on my mother's plate was a healthy portion of pineapple, grapes, blue berries and strawberries. Was a great starter while waiting for the piping hot food to cool a bit. The whipped cream was sweet and tasty as well.
I was pleasantly surprised to run into, what seemed like the owners, who were a very nice couple who greeted me with a warm smile. Overall, great experience, and I did not mind sharing my experience with them on the way out the door.
