| - So I went back a couple weeks later to give it another go. They were in the middle of a photo shoot. Raza the owner recognized me (well, at least his brother did)! Wow, great with faces! (Full disclosure: To make up for my unsatisfactory experience, they comp-ed my partner and I's meal.) It seems they already have regulars.
I cannot say enough good things for the customer service here. Raza took the time to talk to us and tell us about his restaurant experience, and about his family. He went above and beyond, and I really like their story. They are a mom and pop shop worth supporting. 5+ stars for customer service this time.
My hubby loved this place. I see him wanting to come here more than me.
As for the food, we got something different this time:
2pc chicken and waffles (with sweet heat sauce and wedges)
- the hot maple syrup was less watered down this time, instead of the sriracha style heat they put in it, I wish they used some scotch bonnet 2*
- the chicken was crisp and incredibly moist (you'll see my pic), but underseasoned for my taste 4*
- the waffle was still great (crispy, chewy) 5*
- the side of wedges could be bigger, also I wish they had more seasoning ala Mary Browns 3*
Cluck Yeah!
- jalapeno cheddar waffle sounds good, but in practice I didnt taste the cheddar or the jalapeno, but the texture was still spot on 4*
- the sandwiches are easier to eat than the bone-in chicken, but the breast was just lacking additional seasoning and flavour, and does not fry up crisp 3*
In the future, I'll stick with bone-in chicken or maybe try their wings.
Also, as another Yelper noted, the prices are a bit high for the kids in the neighbourhood to grab some fried chicken. But, I confirmed with Raza, that they have specials for local students that they don't advertise, and all the local kids know about.
Overall, I give a 3.5*
