5 Loaves Eatery'$

405 E 75th St, Chicago, IL 60619

At 5 Loaves Eatery the chicken and waffles are served separately, but only because they want you to personally introduce these soulmates. Cooked perfectly, and perfect for each other.

Batter and Berries'$$

2748 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

The name may be Batter and Berries, but you can skip out on the berries as long as you’re sure to lather this meal in hot sauce and their maple flavored butter for utter bliss.

Bistro Dre'$$

2965 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60657
(773) 697-9067

They do Chicken and Waffles slightly differently. Rather than a traditional waffle, you’ll find cornbread (some refer to it as a cornbread waffle, I’ll stick to just cornbread). However, with corn gravy'it is a welcome changeup and they are BYOB! This chicken really pulls it all together.

Breakfast House $$

1800 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
(312) 997-2400

Breakfast House goes all out with their portions. Ridiculously fluffy waffles and well seasoned crispy chicken (dipped in the honey mustard sauce) will kickstart your day perfectly and fully. Oh yeah, it’s also BYOB!

Chicago’s Home of Chicken and Waffles'$$

As their name hints, Chicken and Waffles are kind of their specialty. This gives you the opportunity to order the exact pieces of chicken that you desire' thighs, wings or half a chicken (why not?).

Fork'$$

Some people can’t imagine eating breakfast food without a side of pork' which is precisely why these Chicken and Waffles are topped with a'candied bacon garnish.

Hash House A Go Go $$

1212 N State St, Chicago, IL 60610
(312) 202-0994

Hash House A Go Go takes their waffles to the next level by including bacon in the waffle batter' the fried chicken and sage that tops it off is perfection.

Honey Butter'$$

3361 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
(773) 478-4000

I’m stretching this one a little since waffles are NOT part of the mix' however, when French Toast replaces it and is accompanied by phenomenal chicken, you won’t hold it against me after your first bite. The honey butter dripping over everything is a game changer.

Longman & Eagle'$$

2657 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 276-7110

This is the place to go for an all around meal and when mimosas just won’t do. Get the Chicken and Waffles,'a side of'pork belly sweet potato hash, and a glass of whiskey from their respectable selection.

Miss Ricky’s'$$

Virgin Hotel, 203 N Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60601

Sable’s Chicken and Waffles are nothing to scoff at. You can never truly go wrong when you combine a honey glaze with chicken, and the addition of the sesame seeds on the waffles adds a very slight crunch to your bite. This simple inclusion'of texture really rounds out the platter.

Stanley’s Kitchen & Tap'$$

1970 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

White Palace Grill'$

White Palace Grill doesn’t leave Chicken and Waffles alone. What really makes this stand out is the addition of the homemade apple compote. The sweetness of the compote mixes in with the sweetness of the waffle and they combine to perfectly compliment the slight saltiness that fried chicken contains. Open 24/7!
