Lets get into this establishment right here hunn-tea... YES PLEASE AND YES THANK YOU !!! If you are ever in the downtown area, you must stop by and support Dame's. The atmosphere is set for grown folks and kids at the same time. The staff are polite and professional. The chefs be chef'ing (and throwing down behind those closed doors). The bartender is heavy handed ( I am here for it) & there is always room to cut a rug both inside and out. Reserve you a table or two today!!Parking: Street parking is an option all day but the parking lot in the rear is tight.Kid-friendliness: Always have crayons and table paper ready for the little ones ( and big ones) entertainmentWheelchair accessibility: With both doors open

Dames chicken and waffles has several flavors of spreads and dips you can enjoy with your meal including sweet and spicy options. I ordered and peach spread and a tangy honey dipping sauce. The food was ok but not worth the two hour wait. I also had an Arnold Palmer which was the best Arnold Palmer I’ve had at a restaurant. I don’t think I would return again especially if the wait is over an hour

It's always a good time, the food is delicious, the mimosas on point, and the music vibes pretty dope. I bring family when they come into town, never disappointed!!

Don't be deceived by its modest appearance; Dames Chicken and Waffle prioritizes its cuisine above all else. I visited on a quieter Monday and sampled their wings and waffle, accompanied by a side of greens. The chicken was piping hot, with a satisfyingly crispy skin and a delightful spice blend that added to its appeal. I opted for the classic waffle, topped with maple-pecan shmear and whiskey creme drizzle. Despite not being a fan of overly sweet flavors, I found the combination to be surprisingly pleasant, eliminating the need for traditional syrup. The greens were exceptional—tender, well-seasoned, and served with just the right amount of pot liquor to maintain their flavor until the last bite. I paired my meal with their manmosa, which resembled a slightly spiked Angry Orchard cider; while enjoyable, it wasn't essential. Overall, Dames is definitely worth a visit I can see why it's a staple in the community.

I tried the chicken & waffles. The waffle could have been harder, but it was good. It was way too soft that’s all. The strawberry butter spread was good! The chicken was seasoned good but they were hella big!. The Mac & cheese was super trash! The server was hella slow and not prompted at all.

I was so looking forward to dining at this place. The food wasn’t bad but because of the long wait it wasn’t hot. A person at my table did not receive items she ordered.One suggestion I would give is for them to lower the music as the server could not hear us where we were sitting. I hope to try the other locations.

Great Service.The chicken and waffles was on point. The K pop drizzle wasn’t my favorite but all in all great food. The Mac n cheese was a-little off and bland. The atmosphere was phenomenal! Amazing music choice!

Me and my cousin visited this place to today to review the food and we were not disappointed. I had the waffles, bacon, and eggs. Paired with the whiskey cream drizzle ? jazz versions of your favorite songs played as employees smiled and laughed with each other. Will return for sure!

Went for brunch with a group on Sunday. Great selection of chicken and waffle combinations. Portions were good. Service was great as well.
The name says it all. If you like chicken and waffles, this is your stop. Good service, yummy food and great atmosphere. The cool jazz is a welcome change from the pop soundtrack that is more usual in restaurants. Recommended.Vegetarian options: They do have vegan waffle options.

It's a hit! I'm a Chicagoan and I was told to come here, I know good food. Everything I had was a hit. Certainly get an original waffle ( better than Cali's home of chicken and waffles) the chicken was fried hard and fresh! My waitress, Ms. Shania was amazing! Great service, tasty food, and stiff drinks.Come thru...

The grits were runny and tasteless. The chicken wasn’t much better.
