First off, if you've never had fried chicken and waffles for breakfast, you might not realize what an amazing combination they are. Yes, you're pretty much guaranteed a severe case of the Itis, but it's worth it. And how! And this place, I tell you what, they do it up right. The chicken literally falls off the bone, and the breading is fabulously light and flaky. The waffles are wonderful, cinnamon vanilla goodness that beautifully sets off the flavors of the chicken. So the place lives up to its raison d'etre with aplomb.
But that's not all! I went on an eating rampage and also sampled some other offerings! The scrambled eggs were surprisingly fantastic - moist and flavorful, not like the drab concoctions you so often find. They were so good, I didn't even put hot sauce on them. Then there were the home fries, done up right with peppers and onions, and absolutely delicious. Next, the cheese grits, which were the cheesiest I've ever had, and oh my gosh I'm kind of drooling just thinking about them. But the real crowning glory was the biscuit. The biscuit was decadence itself. It was basically butter transmogrified into crumbly chewy goodness. It was shameless. It was incredible.
On less important matters, parking is pretty easy to find around there, and while the line appears to be overwhelming, it moves with astonishing speed. The interior is pleasant, although the music is just a mite cheesy (an easy listening cover of Groove is in the Heart? Please.). A lot of yelp reviews complain about the service, but that's because, no offense, yelp reviewers are generally assholes and they ALWAYS complain about the service. The service was excellent - speedy, attentive, everything you'd want.
Seriously - go check this place out. It's marvelous.
