  Very good! Wife had the Strawberry Shortcake and daughter had the Cookies and Cream waffles. Light, airy, crispy, delicious. Strawberries were fresh! I had the Southern Cornbread Waffle. A great twist on waffles. Chicken tenders (Mild) were large and the breading was flavorful. Spicy but not in a hot way. They have a spicy option but this place makes me think I couldn't handle this level of Spicy 😂

  I’m 50 years old and never knew fried chicken could taste this good. It was SO DELICIOUS! I got 2 chicken and a waffle, original recipe, with bourbon flavored syrup. Absolutely amazing!!! This is a must try

  Fantastic food here. We got cinnamon toast crunch waffle and strawberry berry cheesecake waffle and shared an order of spicy chicken. These are chicken and waffles done right with a great blend of sweet and spicy. Highly recommend. We'll be back next time we're in Tacoma. Only possible downside I can think of is the popularity of this spot is well earned, but comes with a crowd. The wait and noise is the price you pay for getting some top notch food.

  First off , the waffle was almost 10/10 so I’m very happy about that especially because I anticipated this place for a long time . The original chicken was very juicy and tasty but the batter was flakey and falling apart . And the spicy chicken was drowned in chili powder , with out the chili oil . Very unpleasant, also like the original chicken , the spicy chicken batter was falling apart . Like I said before the chili powder was caked on the chicken , it was drowned in it . And the spicy chicken isn’t seasoned evenly one side isn’t spicy at all . Also they gave me an old outdated ranch .

  Wait time is expected going inside, and totally worth it every time I’ve been in. Food is always great. Staff is always friendly. It’s hard to find waffles at restaurants for my little one so we’re very happy to have this go to spot. Just ordered it online for pick up for the first time and it is super easy and a bonus that you can order before they even open up for pick up!
