“Went here to try chicken and waffles for the first time. My friend also got the morning glory burger.
For the food my other friend and I found the chicken to be a little lacking in seasoning, the dish as a whole was fine but a bit underwhelming. On the other hand my friend loved the morning glory burger and said it was excellent.
I also got the oreo bread pudding which I sadly found to be too sweet.
Over all a fine experience food wise, and the only thing I can say on service is, they took our order and brought us our food and thats all. Not bad service just no more than you would expect to get at a fast food counter.
I dont like to complain about service but our server did walk off while I was asking them for things, and they almost refused to give recommendations when my friend asked which I thought was weird.“
