- BeaAugust 24, 2010They have a Beat the Clock happy hour special on Mon-Fri from 4-7. The time you order your food is the cost! Say you come at 4:45, that's $4.45 for a meal! Choose from Princess Jordan, Homeboy, Leilas
Kendal CockrelAugust 14, 2018Great spot to go on a lazy sunday afternoon after taking the ferry to Jack London square. See a movie at the theater nearby when you finish.- PertzDecember 17, 2014Good chicken and waffles...get the gravy on the side! Customer service and speed has gotten a lot better since the beginning of this year.
- medvedevAugust 2, 2018It's an interesting combination to serve fried chicken with sweet waffles. I ordered fried chicken liver and it was quite good.
José ArellanoMarch 25, 2015It's not Roscoe's but it's not bad either. Get chicken & waffles. I also like eggs with cheese & onions.
- Jessie LorenzOctober 16, 2012Try the grits. Have breakfast while watching the train. Sunday check outthe farmers market. Oh yes, and I highly recommend both the chicken and waffles.
Angelica DongalloMay 8, 2015Mac & cheese! Plus there was a consensus among our party that they liked the chicken here better than at Brown Sugar Kitchen.
Christy ClarkAugust 15, 2015Ambiance. Angie's special with home potatoes and a biscuit. Need a screwdriver to finish off the meal
Nanner PusMay 7, 2013Happy hour is UNREAL. Colonel Marshals or Incredible Kelly's or Aldrienne's for $5.00 YOU CANT AFFORD NOT TO EAT HERE
Keenan PattersonApril 10, 2017Great food! The chicken was amazing and crisp. Service was pretty meh though.
Tawana BurnettAugust 14, 2010Good food and lots of culture and family history at this place. Waffles look basic but they are so good with the hot cinnamon syrup they serve.
Gerald ThorneJanuary 21, 2013Great waffles here and the chicken strips are on point. Great service normally- Bflyy 007January 23, 2013Cute server named Larry, and I only order The Lord B.J. & a side of Mac & cheese!!! Yum
J. SaddyNovember 18, 2014Service and bottomless mimosas reminded me of family. Food was good, but the service was better!
Bob LeeJanuary 7, 2012The chicken and waffles here are pretty good, but I think Merritt Bakery may be just a tad better. Service can be super, super slow too. But it's okay b/c there are always "interesting" ppl to see.
Dan RamirezMay 8, 2011This place is open until 4am on Fri and Sat. Wish I'd known that last night. Oh and come hungry.
Great red beans & rice. $4 martinis after 19:00. $2 on tuesday.

Katie WOctober 13, 2014Only go here if you want to waste a couple hours of your life... Everything takes FOREVER. This is the kind of place that would be on Kitchen Nightmares.
Ryo YFebruary 7, 2016Worst service ever! Waited over 40 mins to get seated. Another 40 mins to get our order placed. Now let's see how long it takes to get our meal. Never again, not worth the trouble
JoeNovember 10, 2015As a chicken & waffle fanatic, I wasn't impressed by this establishment. The wait to get in wasn't worth the time.
Richard RuedaAugust 15, 2013If you have a service animal, they want to seat you in the back. Not cool. frown,
Jacklyn's breakfast with scrambled eggs w/ cheeseNonions...
Peter LeJuly 5, 2014Worse customer service ever. How does it take 30 minutes to get 3 cups of water. Food is good when it gets to you maybe an hour later.
