Gussie's Chicken & Waffles

That's right, not Roscoe's, but Gussie's Chicken and Waffles. This family run restaurant offers the complete southern comfort feel and taste nestled right in the heart of the Fillmore Jazz District. We stopped by for a Sunday brunch and more than fulfilled our soul food craving with chicken fried to golden perfection and a generous serving of waffles...mmm.

Gussie's Chicken & Waffles, Fillmore Jazz District

Southern Comfort Chicken and Waffles, scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and onion

One-quarter Southern Fried Chicken and Two Waffles, gravy and onions on the side. If your mouth isn't watering by now, something isn't right.

With numerous signature southern specialties besides their classic chicken and waffles (definitely trying the sweet potato waffles on our next visit), Gussie's also serves mean $2 Tuesday Happy Hour specials drawing people to this crowd-pleasing spot. Check out more of the menu here.

Note: service is a bit relaxed so be sure you're not in a hurry!
