| - After hearing an interesting new menu choice had surfaced in the neighborhood fry house, it was with hopeful, yet realistic, expectations that I decided to give WH another go.
A friendly welcome by the much larger appointed staff accompanied a much less desirable heat from the lack of air conditioning on this August summer night. There are still no tables or chairs to eat from, inside or outside of the restaurant...so even as a to-go spot, slight comfort is not found.
But all is not lost! The aforementioned Chicken & Waffles....Great wing-style C&W, dense waffle batter, charred crisp edges, topped with powdered sugar and maple. Wings are covered in the same syrup, with a subtle caramel-like sweetness. Delicious! I could NOT get enough waffles....easily trumping the chicken and most other waffle varieties I've encountered in the recent months. Recommended!
I also ordered the Lemon Pepper and Caribbean Jerk Wings. The Jerk a bit sweeter than the chain competition, less spice and a bit dull in flavor to the latter. Lemon Pepper has good taste, dry rubbed and cooked well, just difficult to beat the other chain champ at Lemon Pepper! Don't compare, and you should enjoy these :)
Too bad the Seasoned French Fries were under-cooked. Starchy and limp....besides the cook time, they could go heavier on the seasoning. I'm sure it was just a bad batch, but consistency was my issue during the first visit that remained unpleasant, even a couple days after my meal here, if you catch the drift.
Come try the Chicken & Waffles!
