    I was so excited to be back at Dame's! We stopped in for lunch ready for a good meal. It wasn't too busy, so, we were seated right away. The service was amazing. I believe our server was named Trent. He was great. The food was highly disappointing. We ordered our food and it took all of 7 minutes for them to be walking out with our food. I knew then it was going to be some bs. The biggest disappointment was that the food wasn't fresh. The chicken seemed like it was fried at an earlier time and then warmed up. It also appeared that they may have dumped it in grease to give that fresh look but nope. Come to find out, the grease was old. The waffle was like rubber. It definitely wasn't fresh. The theme carried over with the guests I was with as well. We all left highly disappointed and feeling cheated. It's so unfortunate because we had a great experience our first time visiting.

    Went to Dame's for lunch today and it was great. Our server (Dakota?) was phenomenal! I got an original waffle with apple butter and a chicken cutlet with a side of Mac and cheese. I was a little disappointed that the apple butter was just regular ole Smuckers but it was delicious nonetheless. The chicken was fantastic, perfectly crunchy and moist at the same time. We got in just in time because the wait time jumped to 30 minutes soon after we arrived but it would have been worth it. Definitely recommend if you are looking to try something new!

    Dakota was our waitress and she was so cute and food dope, went over the menu with us and told us how we could mix and match options. I think I ordered the Classy Hen but opted for a sweet potato waffle and the chocolate hazelnut spear. I also got a side of southern grits! It was just ok, I expected the waffle to taste like a sweet potato pie and it didn't but they'd really be doing something if it did! The chicken was hot and fresh but too much breading which all just fell off and was left on my plate. I had to ask for my grits but it was literally just what appeared to be a condiment bowl worth of grits. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a relatively quiet place, music was playing but not overbearingly loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restroom was clean and I only spent about $20.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We parked along the street, the sign read four hour parking but there were no meters.

    Dame's is amazing! The waffles and the fried chicken both taste perfect. They have fun-flavored smears and syrups too to add on top of your waffles which pair perfectly with the salty crispy chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is always packed which is a good sign but they get your seated as quickly as they can.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their mimosas are a little sweet for me, but they have tons of other drink options!

    We built our own plate with 3 drumsticks, a classic waffle with regular butter, cashew caramel, and a side of squash and onions. The drumsticks were perfectly seasoned and crispy, the side was flavorful, and the sauce tied everything together nicely. Friendly service and a delicious meal overall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was simple but pleasant, with beautiful music playing in the background that added a nice touch to the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Lovvveeed the food here! We were visiting for a wedding, staying at the Marriott which was about 10 minutes away; we ate here twice! Party of 3 and we all wanted more and may I add, we were visiting from Chicago where I truly believe we have some of thee best food! We ordered chicken and waffles... we had legs, wings, cutlets, original and pumpkin waffles, greens, potato salad, Mac & cheese, grits and eggs. ALL delicious and seasoned to perfection! The grits were my least favorite, they tasted like they were seasoned too, that's not my preference. Mimosas were uniquely made, with many flavors; they were boozy, fresh and tasty! That potato salad was to die for! The whisky glaze was my favorite! Visit, eat and enjoy!

    The meal. 3 wings, sweet potato waffle, greens and mac n cheese.

    I met a friend at this oldie, but goodie place! It's on the outer skirts of downtown Greensboro in a quaint neighborhood reminiscent of Burbon St. I scheduled a reservation 2 days in advance as it was move-in weekend at local colleges. This helped us be seated right away by the kind hostess. Our waitress came to the table immediately to take our drink order and we ordered our food briefly after. I can't for the life of me remember the name of what I ordered, but it was 3 wings and a sweet potato waffle with maple smear and ranch sauce. My sides were mac and cheese and collards. I was allowed to customize my waffle, smear (flavored butter), and sauce (or syrup). The chicken is cooked to order, so it did take a while for it to come out. But when it did, it was hot and our orders were correct. The chicken could have been a little more crispy, but it was flavorful. The mac and cheese is unique in that it is heavily seasoned with rosemary. I enjoy this, but if you're not a fan of rosemary, I don't think you'll enjoy it. The greens were on the spicy side, but good. Not the best greens I've had, but good. The waffle was ok. It was a little too dense and the sweet potato flavor wasn't there. This is what earned the review 4 out of 5 stars. Overall it was a great visit. If you'll be visiting Greensboro and are looking for some brunch or soul food, add this spot to your list!

    Came in and had a delicious lunch this Tuesday around noon. Dakota was my sever and she was great. She was knowledgeable of the menu and very attentive. As I dined I enjoyed the r&b instrumentals playing in the background. Ordered the build your own chicken and waffles with a side of Mac and cheese. The pineapple waffle is delicious and reminded me of a sweet pineapple upside down cake. The chicken was hot and juicy and the seasoned skin peeled right off. The Mac is ok. Creamy and seasoned. Great lunch! Thank you!

    My how things can change in 9 years. When we (my wife and I) used to live here many years ago, Dame's was in my top 3 restaurants in the area. We went here almost every week. It was on that list of "If all else fails, go to Dame's!" [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food, service, atmosphere... everything was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Towards the end of our first stint living here that many years ago, kind of felt the service becoming less than impressive compared to what it use to be. We moved back to the area a few months ago, so we of course wanted to put this back into our rotation. Went here a few times over the months prior to this review. Since we've been back, every time we left we weren't as satisfied as we use to be. The food didn't taste the same, service had been hit or miss as well. After our most recent trip and experience is when I decided to write this review... Came here on this particular visit and was told there was a 20 minute wait, not a problem. Got a text that we were placed on the wait list. My wife was in the mood for a coffee so we walked to grab one. Was back within 15 minutes. Checked the wait list on the way back and saw we were next some we did a speed walk back. It was crowded inside, so we sat outside to wait for the alert our table was ready. 20 min became 40, 40 became over 60 minutes. I'm a very patient and understanding person, but something wasn't making sense. As I was about to go in the restaurant to see what was happening, I got a text saying I had been kicked off the waitlist. So of course that got me thinking, were we just sitting here for no reason without having an up table coming for us? When I went inside to tell them what happened, someone just went to a table, put two menus on it, and told them to sit us there. No acknowledgment of what happened or even an apology for the mistake. Technology isn't perfect, and I get it, however, as a customer who had been here many times in the past or even if I wasn't and it was my first time, you should still be courteous and respectful to people when something goes wrong and they want to come to your establishment. To add, the food once again was meh, not amazing like it once was. Food used to come out piping hot and smelled fresh. I remember being able to see the steam come out of the chicken wings when I would break them apart. Came out so fresh. Now the food comes out room temperature and the wings look they were cooked in old, non fresh grease. I can clearly see the difference between the first picture I took here nine years ago and the most recent one for this review. I hope things can get back to the way they use to be here because this place was great. I don't want to give up on this place and would love to still support, but day old tasting chicken wings and lukewarm waffles won't keep me coming.

    My friend and I stopped by Days Chicken-N-Waffles for lunch after a photo shoot, and overall, it was a great choice! I ordered the classic chicken and waffles, which came with four whole wings and a waffle, plus a side of mac & cheese. The chicken was fried crispy and flavorful, and I really appreciated the different spreads for the waffle--a nice touch that made it even better. The mac & cheese was decent but could've used more seasoning. Service was smooth--we were seated within 5 to 10 minutes. The only downside is that parking is limited, so be prepared for that. If you're in the area and craving Southern comfort food, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

    You don't come to the south without getting chicken and waffles!?! Simply put, this spot smacks! The chicken has crispy skin and isn't over salted. The shmears give you endless waffle flavors. I recommend the blueberry and peach ones and the tea, well you're in the south - sweet and delicious. We had great service and they took the time to explain the menu. This location sits on a quaint corner on MLK with beautiful buildings surrounding.

    If this was just for the food, it would be a 5, so I'll start there. Excellent food and we loved everything we got. The waffles were delicious and the chicken was cooked well. The schemers were all delicious! As for the service we came around 3-4pm and there was only one other table occupied in the building. They sat us at the very end of room under a speaker with the music much too loud. We requested another table since it was loud. It appeared to be an inconvenience but they reseated us. The hostess was quiet and we waited roughly 20 minutes after we were done eating waiting for our check, the other table had left and we were the only ones in the place. It's one thing to wait for good food, another to wait for a bill.

    Dames had been on my list since I moved to greensboro. When my friends were in town visiting, we made sure it was on the itinerary! We made a reservation since it seemed like a popular place, and found so many things on the menu that we wanted to try. I had a passion fruit mimosa and the Carolina Cockerel. I'm not a fan of spicy food, so they let me substitute the drizzle for something else. The chicken was super juicy and the Mimosa was delicious! I'm not normally a grits fan, but I tried it and was very happy with that decision. The atmosphere was generally pretty casual, but I enjoyed the jazz music being played. Service was good, no complaints there! I would definitely recommend and return!

For starters our server Zipporiah sat us near a large family. Easily 12-15 members. Maybe she thought they were about to leave but they were still seated and chopping up as families do. Me & Bae didn't know those people. The restaurant was not packed. Three places I won't sit in restaurants: by the kitchen, by the bathrooms and way in the back. Otherwise I let the servers do their job of balancing the customers. I should have asked for a different seat. Our lunch date was just okay but having to talk to each other over that family wasn't fun for me. Literally one table over and yes booths were available. The other reason for the four? Being rushed. Bae eats like he's running out of time. I eat much slower. I'd barely gotten the sour cream and butter in my loaded baked potato good before we were asked if we needed boxes. To which I replied that I was still enjoying my meal. Now if there was a reason for us to be rushed then communicate this. I've had many a server say that they are about to leave or shift change is happening so they ask to cash us out before they leave. If the restaurant is slammed and we're just camping out then it makes sense to try to turn the table quickly. I guess we weren't eating fast enough because Bae noticed a slight shift in her attitude towards us. The food? Banging! We ordered fried chicken wings as our appetizer. Talk about a speedy delivery of hot chicken wings! So good! Fish was friend to perfection. Why lemon pepper? I wanted to do something different. Zipporiah was very accommodating along if I wanted just one piece with lemon pepper. Also, our order did come out right. Will we go back? Absolutely. This place is a Greensboro staple!

My initial introduction was when they were located in Stock and Grain Food Hall. I had wanted to try them for a while and luckily I was invited to a Yelp Event where I was able to sample some items. In all fairness, I absolutely loved the service but maybe it was an off night but at the time I wasn't a fan. But as some months passed, they are no longer in Stock and Grain but in a food truck in High Point. I highly suggest following their Facebook page for dates and times where you can catch them. The service was still wonderful and the food was really good. The sweet potato cornbread is one of my favs and the chicken wings and catfish bites were fried to perfection. I love collard greens but do understand, everyone makes them differently. My family is from eastern NC so we make ours savory, theirs have a little sweetness to it. I don't mind it but this time around was so much better, it was very well balanced. The mac and cheese was delicious as well. Although not pictured, do check out their Russian tea drink. I felt very nostalgic and I have no other words but it was great. I try to savor it when I get some. I wish he sold them in half gallon jugs because I would buy it. That's how good it is. They have other items like Rasta pasta, oxtails, pork chops, and turkey wings. I can't wait to come back and try more food. Give them a follow and check them out. You won't be disappointed.
