| - I'm not sure how long this place has been open, but I did not know about it until I saw a Groupon. So I took my usual breakfast club for a visit after an overnight of working. I wasn't sure what to expect when we walked in, and I'm guessing they do mostly dinner business. (One of my friends commented that it looked like they got their artwork at Family Dollar.) But the fact that they are open at 7am and offer chicken and waffles is enough for me to give it a try.
Our waitress was very nice, an older woman who we had fun with - and she had that jovial grandma laugh, too, which makes the place feel more cozy. My friends all ordered the King's Breakfast that pretty much included everything on the breakfast menu (waffle or pancakes, two meats, eggs, potatoes and grits). I kept it simple with the Chicken and Waffles and a side of bacon. Oh, and a sweet tea. The sweet tea was refreshing, with just a hint of lemon. The bacon was thick and crispy, the way it should be (the menu said 2 strips of bacon were a side, but I got three!). The waffle was good, nothing over the top, but the chicken, oh the chicken....it was glorious. I got to select the piece I wanted and I opted for the breast. It was moist on the inside, crispy on the outside. And whatever the seasoning is, they got it right. I couldn't rave about it enough to our waitress. I asked for hot sauce, and then really didn't feel I needed it. My friends seemed equally pleased with their meals as well.
I will definitely recommend this place. The prices weren't too outrageous. My Chicken and Waffles was $6.99, the side of bacon was $1.99. The King's Breakfast was $9.99. The main reason I deducted one star is the wait. It seemed like our food took a very long time when we were the only ones there. It could be because we ordered so much food or that we got there shortly after they opened at 7am and the kitchen wasn't quite prepared. Whatever the reason, I won't hold it against Carmi and I will certainly be back for more of that amazing chicken.
