4. Marvin
A chic "classic bistro" is the last place you'd think to find chicken and waffles, but this Washington, D.C. spot serves what's best described as the gourmet version of the dish. Other items on the menu -- moules frites, steaks, duck confit -- are more in line with Marvin's upscale image.

5. Gladys Knight and Ron Winan's Chicken and Waffles
This chain, founded in 1997, has locations sprinkled throughout Georgia and Maryland. Lines run out the door during all hours, so don't expect a quick meal. You'll want to stick around, anyway -- the restaurant features items like beef sausage, shrimp and grits, and brown sugar salmon alongside the classic chicken and waffles combo.

6. Maxine's Chicken and Waffles
Located in downtown Indianapolis, this joint serves corn bread and peach butter alongside its jumbo wings and waffles. The restaurant is attached to a gas station, but don't be fooled: Maxine's was voted one of the city's Best New Restaurants by Indianapolis Monthly.

7. Chicago's Home of Chicken and Waffles
Soft jazz provides mood music at this restaurant, which serves chicken and waffles, catfish, and cheese grits. Originally called Chicago's Rosscoe's, the restaurant was forced to change its name thanks to a lawsuit from Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. Oh, the drama of the chicken and waffle world!

8. Harlem Wing and Waffle
How can you go wrong in the birthplace of modern-day chicken and waffles? The restaurant is run by Brett Wright, a food lover who supposedly lives by two mottos: "Ain't no thing like a chicken wing," and "I never saw a waffle I didn't like." In addition to chicken and waffles, this Harlem standby has its own line of sodas, with flavors including Uptown Orange, Vanilla Cream, and Black Cherry.

For a chain restaurant any Golden Corral that serves breakfast has both waffles AND fried chicken along with the rest of the breakfast stuff.

You can also get fried chicken and (liege-syle) waffles at the North Market in Columbus, OH. It is a collaboration of Taste of Belgium and North Market Poultry and game.
Specials are usually announce on twitter @tasteofbelgium and @kitchenlittleoh

waffle dough is made from scratch in small batches. These are authentic Liege waffles, like you would find in the street of Liege (or Brussels) in Belgium.
