I have been meaning to come here for a long time, and finally made some Stockyards brunch plans with friends over the weekend.
I've tried fried chicken and waffles at a couple of other places and really loved it, so I knew before I got there that this is what I wanted to try.
We got there at 9 AM on a Saturday when it opened, and by the time we left there at around 10 there were people waiting patiently for our seats. As others have stated, it's counter seating throughout this place. There are hooks towards the back (it's a small place) for your coats.
We parked our behinds on the counter facing the kitchen, and watched as they prepared our meal - from the batter being poured, to the chicken being fried, even the thyme being de-sprigged (I know that's probably not a word but you know what I mean). Staff were friendly and chatted a bit with us.
IT WAS SO GOOD. Perfectly crisp on the outside, moist inside (they brine it for a day or two). Really liked the fresh thyme and the sweet chili sauce they drizzled. If you're unsure you'll like the sauce, you can always ask for it on the side. Waffle was fluffy and perfect.
You'll have a choice of 2 or 4 pieces of chicken with your waffle. Get the four. It's a lot but you can relive your experience with the leftovers in the comfort of your own home, where no one can hear your mmmmmmmmmmmmmmms.
You will not be able to keep me away from Stockyards.
