Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles

We have been wanting to try the interesting combination of fried chicken and waffles for a long time.  We finally went to the Oak Park location of Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles to have this experience. This soul food combination seemed a little odd to us but was highly recommended.

Leg, Thigh & Waffles

We each had a similar chicken and waffle combination:
Natalie had a 1/4 chicken (leg and thigh) with 2 waffles and Nick had a 1/4 chicken (breast and wing) with 2 waffles.
We also ordered 2 sides - mac and cheese and a biscuit

The chicken was very moist and the best fried chicken we've had in a while (well we don't have fried chicken that often, but it was very good).

Wing, Breast and Waffles

Mac N Cheese

Biscuit

It was neat to try the combination of the chicken and waffles together.  The server brought out maple syrup for the waffles and they really tasted surprisingly good together. The sides were good but nothing extraordinary.

Final thoughts on Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles:
Food - chicken was great, waffles were okay (we're more used to Belgian style crisper waffles).  It's a lot of heavy food, so not a place that health-wise we would be able to frequent
Service - we really didn't know what to order so we took forever to decide.  The waitress kept coming back asking if we were ready.  She was helpful in us choosing our chicken and waffle combinations.
Atmosphere - really neat art on the walls and live jazz music in the background, made for a fun experiecne.  Not too crowded on a Saturday night.
