While not a dish native to Detroit, chicken and waffles appear on many menus in the city and they are delicious. Prior to moving to Detroit, I\u2019d never had chicken and waffles, but since moving here that\u2019s all changed for the better. While I am by definition a rookie, I\u2019m going to give you my unprofessional opinion on the best you can find in Detroit.<\/p>\n
My first experience was definitely the best, and it wasn\u2019t just because it was my first time \u2013 but I\u2019ll save the best for last:<\/p>\n
Honest Johns\u2019 \u2013 this place is super casual, extremely reasonable prices and great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and beyond (the kitchen is open until 2am). \u00a0With a comprehensive menu of omelets and sandwiches there\u2019s a lot to choose from, but should you find your way to some chicken and waffles you can take your pick between chicken wings or chicken nuggets atop a fluffy, diner style Belgian waffle. I went with the nuggets and would do it again – douse in some syrup and you\u2019re good to go! These are good to get your feet wet, and I\u2019d get them again, but they don\u2019t mess with the best.<\/p>\n
New Center Eatery \u2013 this is my neighborhood spot, and you can\u2019t beat their $5 after 5pm prices. I\u2019d heard rumblings they\u2019re the best in town so I had to give it a shot \u2013 I got the original, although the red velvet was tempting. In my opinion if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing and there\u2019s and \u201coriginal\u201d on the menu, don\u2019t over think it. Hearty, savory and delicious this place is a can\u2019t miss. They also have deli sandwiches and a new menu in the works but you won\u2019t find it online so you\u2019ll just have to come in and check it out for yourself. Avoid the post-church lunch rush on Sunday and catch this place on a week night after 5 for the special. Bring cash so you don\u2019t have to hit the ATM in the entryway, because it\u2019s the only currency they accept<\/p>\n
Kuzzo\u2019s Chicken and Waffles \u2013 winner, winner chicken dinner \u2013 this place is fire! Open for less than a year, Kuzzo\u2019s has quickly made a name for itself in Detroit. Owned by a former Lion\u2019s player, and located on the Avenue of Fashion. From the friendly, family ambiance, to the chicken, waffles, koolaid and craft cocktails – Kuzzo\u2019s can speak for itself. With a hint of cinnamon, the waffles weigh in on top and the chicken\u2019s seasoning is unmatched. Get the What Up Doe, which they might as well call the kitchen sink: 3pc fried chicken, 2 waffles, grits & 2 eggs w\/cheese \u2013 or just get as many pieces of chicken and waffles as you can stomach. This place was slammed when I went so be prepared to wait. Well worth it though –\u00a0if you\u2019re going to go anywhere \u2013 this is it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
