After waiting in line for 20mins we got up to the front to find out they only have baked legs and thighs. They didn’t bother to take it off the posted menus or update in any way. Adding insult to injury was the girls attitude in letting us know. We won’t be back, there’s no way it’s that good.
The service was slow and the food was distasteful I had cat fish,Mac &cheese greens bland first and last time there.
I didn't get to taste the food because one of her workers had a bad attitude. When dealing with the public professionalism is a must. I could have referred a lot of people that don't know it's there. Your tea was very good and I hope your service gets better. A vegetarian platter would be nice also.

Ma Lessie's Chicken & Waffles is a popular soul food restaurant known for its delicious and fresh dishes. The menu features classic Southern favorites like chicken and waffles, which customers praise for their exceptional taste. The restaurant is located inside Reading Market, making it a busy, loud, and crowded place, especially during peak hours. Despite some long lines, the quick and friendly service helps create a pleasant dining experience. Customers commonly enjoy the fried chicken, which many consider the best they've ever had, along with mac & cheese, collard greens, and cabbage. The staff provides effective service, and many appreciate the good value for the amount of food served. While the restaurant can be crowded, the quality of the food continues to make it a popular choice among fans of Southern comfort food. Customers highlight the real, normal-sized chicken wings fried to perfection, the hot and cheesy mac & cheese, and the golden-brown waffles. However, some have noted issues with the mac & cheese being too dry or caked up, and the chicken not being as flavorful as expected.
