Chicken and waffles isn’t exactly a standard item on every restaurant’s menu, so finding a place that serves it can prove to be quite a daunting task. Fortunately, we’ve tracked one down for you – and boy, will you wish you would’ve heard about it sooner (although that would make you a psychic since it opened not too long ago). The South Chicken and Waffles in San Antonio is down-home, Southern-style cookin’ – that means fluffy buttermilk waffles and the crispiest, most tender fried chicken you’ve ever eaten. See for yourself:
The restaurant is fairly new, but based on taste alone you’d think it’s been open for decades. You won’t find fluffier, crisper-on-the-outside, moister-on-the-inside waffles than at The South.

You can opt for either red velvet or buttermilk, but the trend seems to be for patrons to get half and half! It’s the best of both worlds - how can you go wrong with that?

If you’re more of a light eater, they’ve got you covered as well. The chicken and waffle sliders are petite little bites served with maple syrup for dipping. Talk about a flavor explosion!

There’s also the Triple Decker Stack, piled high with bacon, fried eggs, and cheddar cheese all stuffed between two buttermilk waffles. It’s like an entire breakfast platter conveniently made into a sandwich.

Breakfast and brunch are served all day, and there’s also a lunch & dinner menu with offerings like jambalaya pasta, a burger with home fries, and chicken tenders with fries.

There are even “normal” breakfast options if you aren’t a big fan of chicken and waffles (but you will be after you’ve tried it here). This is strawberry shortcake french toast and sausage, and other items include omelets, grits, and pancakes.
