Waffletown Brings Back Retro Feels with Swivel Chairs and Crispy Chicken

Waffletown at NEWest feels like stepping back in time, and we love it. The old-school charm is alive and well, from the retro orange swivel chairs to the familiar wooden paneling and framed collages on the walls. It’s a cozy little spot that brings back memories of its Balmoral Plaza days, just in a slightly smaller space. Of course, the star of the show is still the fried chicken. Crispy, golden skin that shatters with every bite, giving way to juicy, well-seasoned meat—exactly how we remember it. There’s something incredibly satisfying about biting into a piece of Clucky Lucky Fried Chicken, especially when paired with their fluffy Belgian waffles. Whether we’re going for the classic waffle and ice cream combo or enjoying it with fried chicken, that perfect balance of crispness and softness never disappoints. The menu may not be as extensive as before, but the heart of Waffletown’s offerings is still here. Burgers, sides, and comforting plates like chicken chop round out the lineup, keeping things simple but delicious. And even though the digital menu screens are a small nod to modern times, the place still feels wonderfully nostalgic. Tucked away in NEWest, Waffletown is a bit off the beaten path, but that just makes it feel more like a hidden gem. It’s the kind of place we find ourselves returning to when we crave something familiar, comforting, and undeniably good.
