Fannie Lou's Gourmet Chicken & Waffles

The name insinuates that it's a family environment, sit in type of restaurant. Actually, it's more of a run in and run out style restaurant. The owner of the old Cheesecake corner has opened this quaint little place in honor of his mom. I can only rate the desserts (not the food). That's why I rated it a 4. The blueberry cheesecake is quite tasty. It's not made with Philadelphia cream cheese. It has more texture but it's fabulous! Warm the brownie for 15 secs and is every bit of dilectable in every bite! For people taking a walk in the neighborhood, it's a spot to stop in and pick up a quick throat guzzling beer or water. I'm not a chicken and waffle kinda girl but I suggest you stop by and try it.

Atmosphere is nice. Very cozy. Very welcoming, almost homey even though it was our first time. There is limited seating however; they have outside seating and it would be an awesome space if warmer. They made the most with the space provided. The menu is concised but with enough variety. The food was great, well seasoned, well proportioned and very filling. Servers were awesome; brought the food, kept checking on us, and even gave us free water. For a dinner of two, you’ll spend $50 for a filling meal with enough for a to-go box. The cheesecake corner is a great end to a meal if you still have space. For $6 a slice, again huge slices, you can really bump up the score to a 9/10 ($20)

Went there for the chicken and waffles. In the picture it looks amazing and delicious but I was a little disappointed when i finally took a bit. My wife did like it. The cheese cake was delicious though..

Ordered the waffle pizza and it was good, wish the waffle was crispier and it was hard to eat but tasted pretty good. Overall a good meal, would visit again.

Such a cozy, little place, and I do mean little. I've been wanting to stop in and try the place, so we finally got around to it. I had the waffle pizza and was disappointed. First, there was nothing pizza about it. Please change the name to the loaded waffle, that would be more accurate. If it was described as such, I would not have expected the traits of a pizza. The waffle is really soft, so you certainly can't pick it up as one would with a pizza and there was no base sauce just cheese that didn't compliment the sweetness of the waffle, chicken, bbq sauce, and a load of other peppers and such. A waffle on a pizza pan with a bunch of stuff does not constitute a pizza at all. The service was okay, and there was a nice vibe in the place, so we'll likely return to try something else. The wings looked good, so I should have followed my first mind there. My husband had the wrap, which seemed to be dark meat, and he said it wasn't very seasoned either. All in all, it was an experience, so no regrets, and I'd recommend giving them a try. The guy next to us seemed to really enjoy the "pizza".

Really good food; the owner was lovely too
