Amy Guth: Yes, the waffles are things of great beauty and deliciousness here, but the fried chicken is crazy good.
Julia Bondar: Wow. Get the Tonya's Choice. Waffles are a must.
Serious Eats: This is perfectly salted, crunchy, juicy, chicken at its best, and paired with the waffles, you've got a combination of food that's just plain good.

Mark B: Cant go wrong with the chicken and waffles, and the pork belly hash. Legen-wait for it-dary selection of whiskey. Can do whiskey flights to whet the palate and sample the awesome selection too!
Chris Chavez: Excellent whiskey bar, equally as great for brunch. Try the chicken and waffles or the duck egg hash -- both are delicious, well-portioned and incredibly filling.
Elisa Li: chicken and waffles! and duck confit ! cocktails are a bit strong for brunch but still very good. really nice staff. get the toast and jam side.

Rosa Espinoza: Must get the French toast and chicken and waffles!
Rachel W.: Worth the wait in line. The Cluck-N-Gaufre (chicken and waffles) is amazing. Nutmeg hot sauce, fried chicken, and sweet potato waffle is a unique take on the classic.
Chevon Marsh: The French toast flight and the chicken and waffles are a must. The shrimp omelette was really good. Everything was flavored to perfection. BYOB too!

Clay Jones: Steak Burritos (Bison!) are a quality choice, but go for the Fried Chicken & Waffle. Don't get the bacon, it's always too crispy. Excellent coffee.
Genie B: At first, I did not like it here, but I've been won over. The charcuterie flights outshine pretty much everything else on the menu, though the chicken & waffles at brunch are fantastic.
Bitches Who Brunch: Come hungry for Fork’s “showstopper” consisting of two Belgian waffles, a 1-pound prime beef patty layered with cheddar, and swiss cheese. Fit Bitches, try the equally delicious vegetable succotash. Read more.
