Uncle C's Chicken & Waffles

Next to donuts, chicken and waffles is an absolute staple for me. So when I saw uncle C's chicken and waffles I knew I couldn't pass up giving this place a try while I was in town. I am so insanely glad I did too, because they did not disappoint. Parking was good, they have their own lot - so plenty of space. Even with there being multiple restaurants in this strip, I don't think you'll have issues finding a spot. I decided to order to-go since I was staying across the street at the hotel and went with their three piece chicken plus waffle. For the three pieces of chicken, you get to choose which three pieces you want between a wing, a leg a thigh and a chicken tender. I went with one leg one thigh and one wing. I also heard through the reviews that their cornbread is amazing, so I added that on the side to give a try too. Bonus it's only $.89 to add on.The staff was very friendly, taking my order and the interior look like a pretty standard fast food type of restaurant. It was very clean and nice on the inside. I will say that. The wait time for the food was pretty standard considering I was expecting them to make my waffle fresh And based off of the time I waited I expected that that's exactly what happened. Once my food was ready, they packed it up for me, and also threw in one each of their two sauces plus some hot sauce to go grabbed my bag, hopped in the car and headed back to my roomOnce back to the room with my food, I checked everything and it held up very nicely. I did only need to go maybe 2-3 minutes away, but still I forgot to ask for the butter on the side of the waffle so I expected that to be completely melted by the time I got back and was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't. Everything held nice in their to-go containers, while still keeping the waffle crispy and good. Now for the taste - The chicken was absolutely phenomenal perfectly fried and amazing taste. The two sides that they give you one of them tastes similar to a Chick-fil-A sauce that almost all chicken places seem to have now and the second was a barbecue sauce. Both were absolutely great! The hot sauce that they give you is like a Texas Pete hot sauce pretty standard for fried chicken and was good usually my go to as well. The waffle was yummy very good flavor and even with the powdered sugar on top of it didn't taste too sweet. The butter was good pretty basic and standard butter. Nothing to go review along on its own other than it's just a standard good butter.Overall, I would honestly give this place five star rating for great chicken and a great waffle. Simplicity at its finest. No, not the best I've had in all of my journeys, but most certainly at the top of the list. So if you're in Virginia, I would highly recommend checking them out!

Decided to visit uncle C's after seeing the hyper on TikTok. I got the 5 piece fried chicken with 2 waffles, Mac & cheese, candied yams, 2 sides of cornbread, banana pudding.Fried chicken- 5/5. Got dark meat, chicken tasted home cooked, crispy and seasoned. Delicious. Waffles- 4/5 good waffles. Nothing crazy. Great size! Mac & cheese- 2/5 mainly cheese, no macaroni and no flavor.Candied yams-4.5/5 pretty sweet, but really good. May be a little too sweet for some people.Cornbread-4/5 good! Moist, small size, only 89 cents a piece.Banana pudding- 1/5 too much real banana was in it. I love banana pudding but this tasted like it was made for banana lovers with extra bananas which I don't personally care for. Overall, food was fairly good! We visited on Sunday around 1pm and it was pretty packed. After waiting a few minutes for a food, a table became ready! There is ample parking in a parking lot. Everyone is helpful. The restaurant is very clean!

We ordered via DoorDash while attending a convention in National Harbor.Our Order: * The Nashville Chicken Sandwich with pepper jack cheese and fries. * The Nashville Chicken Sandwich with added lettuce and tomatoes, paired with a salad. * Two half-and-half drinks.The Issues:Since we're staying in a hotel, we didn't have utensils, napkins, or straws, and unfortunately, none were provided with the order. The salad was a disappointment--spoiled and old, with cucumbers so mushy they disintegrated when picked up. There was no salad dressing included, so we couldn't eat it and had to throw it away.The Highlight:The sandwiches were excellent! Fried perfectly, flavorful, and crunchy. The coleslaw complemented the chicken well, and the toasted brioche bun was a nice touch.I'd definitely recommend the chicken sandwiches, but I wouldn't order the salad again.

I'm sad that I didn't get pictures but this place has some of the best chicken and waffles I have had nationwide! The service was fast for the order of 15/5. 15 wings and 5 waffles. The seasoning on the wings were straight out of someone's grandma's reciped box. The waffles were light and fluffy. They tasted as good as they smelled. It was hard to wait on the 30 min drive home after ordering. The vibe is a fast food joint but it was good to see so many folks eating in and enjoying conversation.

This restaurant specializes in fried chicken. They have chicken sandwiches, fried chicken parts, wraps, and breakfast sandwiches. They also have fish and shrimp. There is a modest sized dining area here and the available parking is also kind of limited.Even hough my interaction with them was limited, the staff seemed helpful and friendly. I ordered the Atlanta, a crispy chicken smothered in honey butter, topped with cheese on a brioche bun. I also go a side of fries. It took them about 10 minutes to prepare my food. It was fresh, hot and very delicious. There was a ton of food and I could not eat it all. I highly recommend getting some of their lemonade if you like sweet lemonade. mmmmmm. The chicken was flavorful and well seasoned. This is an underrated spot in my book. If their friend chicken tastes half as good as it looks, it will taste amazing. I did really like my meal though. I highly recommend checking this place out. You will not be disappointed.

Saw a TikTok, read some reviews and decided to give @unclecschickenandwaffles in Alexandria a try and they did not disappoint! Customer service A1, super nice and helpful navigating the menu also making sure we had everything we needed. Limited seating plus a crowd, so grab a table when you can! Clean eating and serving area also. Mimi and RiRi (my mom) opted to try the 3 pc tenders (crispy and flavorful 4.3/5) one with mashed potatoes (not pictured but 3.9/5 wouldn't been perfect with gravy) and one with mac and cheese (recommended by staff was super cheesy and baked to perfection 4.2/5). The meal comes with two yummy mini corn muffins (3.9/5 just wished they were warmer). I opted for the classic chicken sandwich combo (comes with fries and a drink). Chicken crispy and good flavor (4.1/5) classic comes with pickles so next time I'll get the deluxe, fries served hot and salted (3.7/5). They offer their version of mambo and honey mustard but tasty 3.7/5. I tried the half and half to drink (good mix not too sweet 3.8/5). They offer wings, dark meat whole chicken, and fish/shrimp also! If in the area definitely give them a try!

This was OK chicken and waffles experience. They serve southern style breakfast, lunch, and dinner food including fried chicken and seafood; they also serve traditional southern sides like mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. On this occasion I ordered a few menu items, all of which tasted OK. The menu options and quality are similar to other mid-tier fried chicken and waffles restaurants in the area and region. This restaurant is perfect for your hankering for fried food considering their vast menu options. There is ample seating in the dining room if you desire to eat in. The customer service was OK. This restaurant gets no shortage of customers, so I'll certainly give them another try when in the area again to confirm their quality.

Solid fried chicken. Chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. The fries were okay, and little bland. Be warned though, the place can get busy and wait times for food can be longer than expected. But definitely worth a try in your in the mood for fried chicken.

Uncle C's Chicken and Waffles in Alexandria is a must-visit spot for anyone craving classic comfort food with a soulful twist! The chicken is crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, pairing perfectly with fluffy, golden waffles that have just the right hint of sweetness. Their portions are generous, so you'll definitely leave full and happy! Service was friendly, when crowded it may take a bit longer to get your food. However, the quality and flavor made the wait worth it. Uncle C's has earned a spot in my go-to list when I'm in Alexandria. The ambiance is giving fast-casual.

Overall, I was satisfied with my meal. The chicken, waffles, and French toast were fantastic, and the service was great--we received our order faster than expected. While the bacon tasted great, some pieces were undercooked, and the scrambled eggs were a bit underwhelming. The restaurant was clean, and the restrooms were well-maintained, which is a huge plus for me. Despite these minor issues, I definitely plan to return.
