![]() ![]() Which of her accolades is more impressive is up to you, but as a fat food fanatic I think you know where I stand. Gladys Knight was declared the “Empress of Soul” by the Society of Singers in 2007, won/co-won four Emmy’s throughout her career, and earned a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, but amidst the craziness of her illustrious career she was able to create one of the most amazing chicken and waffle restaurants in the United States. In a story true to the food’s history and the city’s reputation for music, Atlanta’s #1 chicken and waffles restaurant was founded by an amazing singer. With a history as deep rooted and as smooth as the Jazz that was played around it, I could not consider myself a true follower of the food without giving chicken and waffles mad-kluckit respect by visiting and eating at two of the most famous chicken and waffle restaurants in the United States: “Gladys Knight and Ron Winans’ Chicken and Waffles” in Atlanta, GA and “Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles” in Los Angeles, CA .Īs a city deeply rooted in the history and tradition of the south, Atlanta was primed to become a hotbed of this tasty concotion. I can hear the chef now… “they want what?! Kluck it, give them both.” Despite this, one thing is clear: chicken and waffles captivated the south and eventually became infamous in Harlem when the “Wells Supper Club” began serving the dish to late night patrons who couldn’t decide if they wanted chicken for dinner or waffles for breakfast. ![]() We know Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing back a waffle iron from France in 1790 (clearly his greatest accomplishment) but beyond that there appear many versions. The origin of Chicken & Waffles as a food pairing is somewhat unknown. You may have better luck with other locations.I’ve already traveled the length of the United States just to eat a burger this time I was motivated by a different type of food. Overall, the food was disappointing and I wouldn't recommend this location. I'm not sure if that's normal, but it was unprofessional. It needs to be updated.Īs we were waiting for our food, there were tables that set dirty for at least 30 minutes. One of the ladies restroom stalls was out of order. The back of the restaurant looked like no one cleaned the tables the night before. The waffle was a little crispy on one side. The chicken wings were fresh out of the grease, but lacked flavor. My waitress replaced my food with a waffle that also took forever to come to the table. I sent the smothered chicken back because it was old and covered with gravy over very dry rice. The restaurant wasn't crowded so we were confused on why the food took so long. An hour passed and we finally got our food. ![]() We ordered smothered chicken and chicken and waffles. There were torn seat cushions at several tables. My first impression was the place didn't look like I thought it was going to look. Well, I wished I'd gone to the Atlanta Breakfast Club instead. I will not be eating at this location again. We still left her a tip but, she didn't earn as my as she could've. ![]() She acted stunned when I told her but, she agreed to fix our checks. I let her know that the gratuity policy on the wall states gratuity is automatically added to parties of 5 or more and we only had 4. I then informed her that while I stood in line for 30 mins waiting to be seated, I had nothing to do so i looked/read things on their wall. I asked how she calculated everything and she responded telling me that's their new policy. The hostess/waitress had added gratuity to our checks herself. We look at our checks and they are slightly higher than expected. I let the waitress/hostess know that the checks will be in 3 separate transactions. My cousin said the greens and candied yams were tasty. The chicken was way underseasoned (bland□), some parts of the chicken was bruised, the hostess/waitress brought syrup to our table and it was the publix(grocery store) brand. reasons ppl gave while calling out of work). (The waitress/hostess informed us that they were short staffed due to various. The waiter turned out to also be the cook. Wait(I didn't mind that) The hostess turned out to be the waitress as well. So DISAPPOINTED□ DONT believe the hype! There was a 30min.
