Michele Evans-BrockMay 10, 2015Had the smothered chicken with rice and gravy, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and raspberry iced tea. Ended my meal with peach cobbler and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serious EatsMay 21, 2013This 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.
Wendell RobinsonAugust 5, 2014Okay, forget all those pics with the chicken on the side of the waffles. Put the chicken on top, hit it with some hot sauce then pour the syrup over the whole smash. It just works.
AprilJuly 19, 2016Be prepared to wait. The space is small but turnover is fast. Catfish, red beans and rice was good. I went with a party of 5 and when ready to pay was told the bill can only be split in half.
Stacy HoustonNovember 18, 2017Had Rev. Chris lemon catfish dinner with red beans and rice and it was sooooo good. Then they sang happy birthday to me and gave me cheesecake! Perfect!
Pamela HowellMay 20, 2016I enjoyed the combo plate of chicken and waffles with eggs and grits!"Yum".I also like the catfish!I am pleased that while the food is tasty ,it was not too salty.
Cooper SmithJune 30, 2013Tonya's Choice comes with 3 pieces of chicken and a soft, delicious waffle. Throw a side of Mac'n'cheese in there as well!
Jennifer GuytonOctober 3, 2013It doesn't matter if you make reservations or not, just make sure all of your party is there to be seated. Food was tasty and cooked fresh. Get there early to park close.
Nikkia J SmithSeptember 29, 2014The sweet potatoes are sooo good! The chicken is nice & crispy! The greens were ok, I had to mix it with my cornbread. The mac & cheese was ok... Overall, I would eat from here again.
Christopher MaxwellMarch 20, 2014I went here with a friend a few days ago. I tried the Pecan waffles and they were awesome! Try them! If you aren't allergic to nuts! Lol
Monique MathenyNovember 15, 2014The waffles are good but they're thin & not as thick as I remember from a few years ago--maybe they changed the recipe or my memory is off, either way give 'em a try.
Alex GascaJanuary 26, 2013Had the big D smothered! Was great!!! The dry fried chicken is really good also. Crispy and juicy
Jake SmithAugust 2, 2013If this is your first time here, pass on the onions and gravy that are an option for chicken. Stick to the namesake of the place: order just the chicken and just the waffles.
Cheyenne KingMarch 18, 2019I’ve been here multiple times, but yesterday everything seemed a little off. Food was cold coffee was also cold, our waitress seemed a little stressed. Still love the food but I just wished it was hot
Phaedra LeslieOctober 25, 2014Crispy fried chicken. You know its good when you can see the seasoning.

🍰Jocquetta Carter 🎉September 29, 2012I'm not so sure what all the lines are about. It was ok. I ordered the catfish dinner with yams, greens and mac and cheese. The best thing on thr plate was the mac and cheese.
- Amy GuthOctober 2, 2011Yes, the waffles are things of great beauty and deliciousness here, but the fried chicken is crazy good.
- Eric AndersenAugust 25, 2012My congrats to anyone who can finish all their syrup! I had plenty, yet barely used up any

"Great server, felt like we were with family. New Orleans breakfast was delicious. Excellent fried chicken and sides. Order eggs with cheese - without cheese they're bland. Delicious peach cobbler."

"Don't sleep on their breakfast menu. It's inexpensive and tastes soooooo good!"
NaTia Stem-Brownlee - 8.5
"Grits are a trending taste this week and you can get some damn good ones at Wishbone. You really want their classic shrimp and grifts. If you're not a fan of seafood, the cheesy grits are great, too."
