I came back to Uncle C’s after a year and the chicken sandwich was undercooked red in the middle and the fries were extremely salty and both items were not hot (temperature). With so many other chicken and waffles restaurants in the area you will be able to find better options.

I always get the same thing for my family. 15 wings and 3 waffles...its always hot and fresh.... Except for today. Today all the wings were old and dry...like they had been waiting all day drying under the lights. This is how all the Chicken and Waffle eateries start going down...there is no consistency and no quality control. Staff/management should know to refresh the food. I actually saw the owners in there today..7/11/21. Update 10/31/ 2025: I never went back. I go to Della Js. The food is always on point.

I arrived 5:50 on a Saturday afternoon. Made my order the cashier waa patient and knew the menu well and gave me the option of ordering by the piece pr combo. I ordered two chicken legs, shrimp,fries and yams. Everything was served reasonably fast and hot. Everything tasted great. The chicken was juicy the shrimp was bigger than pop corn, size. The yams tasted like homemade. The mac and cheese also tasted homemade with the cheese melted together with a little crust on it. There were a generous portion of fries Un salted. You have the choice of salt, ketchup and some other sauces. There are window seats if you are alone. There are a 6 tables that seat 4 and one large table that could seat as many as 10 people. However your timing has to be right. There is ONE toddler/baby seat. Bathrooms are locked and require a combination and are relatively clean. They are two and they are gender Everything and are handicapped accessible. Look at attached picture. Parking is free mostly on one side however you can park on otherside but it could also be considered bank parking. You can get food togo and not be disappointed. There is a multi ethnic clientele. Both young,old ,black, white, Hispanic and some Asian who all come here to pick up food to take home. They've cheesecake and banna pudding and I think it's called empanada. Some of the best sweet tea around...cross between McDonald's and Chick fil A sweet. If you are trying to decide between here or Popeyes Tea,or lemonade this is better in my opinion. Mild chicken is great here.

I ordered the 3-piece chicken dinner with mac & cheese, candied yams, and banana pudding. The chicken was okay, but I honestly would’ve preferred Popeyes. The mac & cheese had an odd flavor and no consistency, and the yams—though they had the best flavor, were dry and overcooked, with most of the sweetness sitting at the bottom of the tray. The banana pudding looked good but had no flavor at all.
The food was visually appealing, the staff was friendly and professional, and the restaurant was clean with a nice atmosphere. But for $25.40, it just didn’t taste like true Southern food.

I’ve been to Uncle C’s Chicken & Waffles three times, and honestly, I’m not a fan.
Yes, they serve halal chicken, the menu looks good, and the sides like candied yams are tasty. But the overall experience is frustrating. And it’s not like this place is cheap. • The staff don’t explain the menu well. If you don’t ask specific questions, you’ll likely end up paying more than you expected. • When ordering chicken, you need to spell out exactly which pieces you want. Otherwise, they’ll give you the tenders instead of regular legs or thighs. Also, they don’t serve fried chicken breast. • Don’t bother coming an hour before closing. The staff are focused on cleaning and won’t make fresh chicken that late.
The food itself is decent, but between the lack of clarity, the pricing issues, and the poor service, it’s just not worth it. I won’t be back.

The mac n cheese is dam near better than grandma's. The chicken tenders are seasoned very well, but I can't help to notice the fried fish like flavor they give off...still addictive as hell though

A little on the pricey side especially when they are serving dine-in food in takeout boxes. The presentation is underwhelming with the chicken served separately in a box. That aside, the food was hot and the staff was friendly.

This is a must try if you love fried chicken. The chicken is always fresh, crispy and seasoned well. The mac and cheese, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and candied yams are perfect sides and all are excellent.
The food is very good , very good portions. I ordered the chicken and waffles a few times . The Mac and cheese is really good. Can be a little costly , depending on your appetite . The portions can last you for two days .

I love Uncle Cs!! I’m an Atlanta native so moving to the DMV and finding good “home cooking” food was a challenge. The first time we placed a pick up order and tasted the food, we felt like we were at home! The chicken is amazing, perfectly seasoned! The side items were always delicious. The Mac and cheese and yams were just like someone’s granny made them. Everything is seasoned to perfection and always hot and fresh.
