Chicago Best Spots For Waffles

Waffles make for the ideal breakfast food - fluffy and warm, yet filled with delectable ingredients like bacon, sausage, fresh or macerated fruit, or even fried chicken. Waffles really do have it all!

Are you in search of a classic sweet waffle or something more savory, Chicago has it all! From Swedish brew shops to pop-ups inspired by 1990s TV show Saved by the Bell, Chicago boasts an abundance of restaurants offering creative twists on traditional fare.

Tre Kronor:

In addition to Swedish dishes, this restaurant serves Belgian waffles and an array of delectable options like Danish pastries or Norwegian meatball sandwiches. You can even grab a quiche to accompany your delicious brunch!

Batter and Berries:

This Lincoln Park spot offers a unique take on classic chicken and waffles. The Cluck-N-Gaufre is an addictive sweet potato waffle stuffed with herb-fried chicken breast and drizzled in hot nutmeg sauce.

Mother Cluckers:

This Sauganash neighborhood spot is a must-try for those willing to experiment. Utilizing a Broaster pressure fryer, Mother Cluckers uses natural juices from its chicken while locking out cooking oil - for less fat and calories than traditional fried chicken dishes.

MAD Social:

Mad Social's West Loop location offers a delectable chicken and waffle dish. Their take on the classic includes Milanese-style fried chicken on top of a pressed churro, topped with crispy pork belly, MAD hot sauce, and maple syrup.
