| - I was pretty excited to try fried chicken and waffles, but I couldn't say that it was super satisfying. 3.5/5 in total for taste, but it is worth the wait.
I believe this place really has some potential if some parts improve.
We went there in a large group, around 8 people. The menu pretty much says it all, and I ordered the Dirty Club after reviewing many yelp reviews. Each of us waited for 10-15 minutes. We initially did not have a place to eat, but once we all got our food the table in the middle was empty and we crowded there. I don't mind eating while I stand, but the place needs more seats for sure.
I was suspicious of the waffle sandwich that's worth $15, but once I got it I knew it was totally worth it. It was HUGE. I absolutely loved the fried chicken and the beef bacon inside. Bother were juicy and freshly done. It was the biggest boneless thigh & leg I've ever seen in my life, and the skin was so CRISPY. The first bite was full of oily meat and it felt fantastic. But as I went on, I felt bored. There was only the taste of meat, oil and nothing else. I tried putting on lots of syrup, but the flavor seemed to disappear each time I bite it. I feel that it needs some kind of sauce or marination to get the "omg" feel. I also think that the Dirty Club is in a larger portion than the ODB in comparing the price. The portions of the sides were also tiny, don't really recommend them if they are not included in the meal you want.
Next up the waffle. The waffles I had were supper crispy, which was the way I like them. However, I noticed that the waffles did not have enough batter inside. So they were pretty much empty in the middle. They also hurt my hard palate (the flesh above the tongue), since they were dry and crunchy...I tried the waffle of an ODB's and they were softer, honestly hoped I had the thin but fluffy than the thick but empty, even though I like crispy waffles.
I don't know if it was only me or does every Dirty Club gets waffles with less batter than the ODB?
