| - I've eaten here 3 times and the first time I had eaten here (circa August 2014), I enjoyed the delicious chicken and waffle plate.
The chicken breading was savory the chicken soft and juicy. The waffles were fluffy inside with a nice crunch on the outside. The potato hash echoed the same as the waffles.
I enjoyed it so much, I brought a coworker of mine to dine with me since I had talked up my previous experience (March 2015),
I ordered the same dish & felt a little disappointed. The chicken had plain breading - no flavor to it & the chicken was a little bit dry.
I'm the kind of person that is willing to give this experience another chance. Perhaps it was a new chef? Or someone's "off day" in the kitchen.
Side note: my coworker on this trip didn't enjoy her biscuits and gravy, she had 2 bites then stopped eating. She didn't like the gravy, she said it tasted funny. I tasted my gravy and agreed.
I went back again last week with 2 coworkers this time, in hopes that S+O will redeem themselves from my last experience.
Sigh...
It was even worse...
The chicken were pounded thinly, yes it did have the savory crust but because the chicken was so thin, it wasn't juicy on the inside, the two pieces of chicken were more like crackers, very crunchy and hard to cut into.
I was so disappointed but our waitress was so kind she even agreed and let me know they changed from the nicer thicker chicken pieces to these smaller cuts.
My 2 coworkers felt their meal was ok but nothing to talk about.
I will look elsewhere for my chicken and waffle cravings from now on.
Will I return here again? Probably not for myself personally, but I know my company does business with the Grand that I will be on the premise for events and functions but the food will be something I won't take part in.
I hope they find consistency and fix this situation soon. This is a young restaurant there's still hope for them and though I won't eat here again I wish them success.
...now I heard from my coworkers that Hash House A Go Go has chicken and waffles! Keep watch for that review!
