Dame’s Chicken & Waffles

Top choice in The Triangle


While it can’t claim to have invented chicken and waffles – it’s been a ‘thing’ for a couple of centuries – Dame’s has raised the ultimate comfort food to a fine art. Its relocation to these larger premises should mean customers won't have to wait before enjoying crispy Southern fried chicken atop, yes, fluffy, syrup-drenched, breakfast-style waffles.
