Run don't walk to this - go see - fast food place. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese and the catfish. It's late at night and we're driving home after doing grocery shopping when the crowds are gone. The hubcap wants to eat fast food out of the blue. Unfortunately, all the fast food places have dismal reviews except for two in this area. Plus, most of them are closed at that time. This is how we found Southern Style Chicken & Waffle. It closes at midnight and has southern food, my husband's favorite type of home style food. He loves mama's casseroles and mac and cheese due to being raised in the Deep South. It, also, had one of his favorite foods: waffle. Plus it is on the way. We head out there and notice an almost empty strip mall. Creepy but the neon sign said it was open. The place was empty & clean yet the opening of the door sent an alert ring for the staff to come out. I was impressed that you could have a waffle as a side with some of the entrees. I was tempted to order fried chicken until I saw the catfish on the menu. I ordered it with a side of mac and cheese to give to the job cap. He ordered the chicken sandwich with mac n cheese. We got it as takeout. The portions they give you are huge when compared to other fast food places. I got three large catfish fillets and a giant side of mac and cheese for $13.49. I wish I had ordered a larger portion after tasting the catfish fillet. You could instantly taste how it was prepared fresh - definitely not frozen. The fish was light ,succulent, and had a melt in your mouth texture. This is not the catfish you ate at a church fish fry. This catfish is exponentially better. The chicken sandwich was two chicken patties in a sandwich similar to chick fil a sandwich. I tasted it and thought it was better. My husband preferred chick fil a though. He really loved my catfish and my mac and cheese. I gave him all the mac and cheese. I split my three catfish fillets into two meals. Service was great. The server told us the catfish was Asian catfish and served it to me the way he preferred it: side of lemon with seasoning sauces on the side . He gave us a heads up that they cook the food fresh and it would take 15 minutes. We didn't mind the wait and waited patiently. We will definitely come back and order catfish, waffles, mac and cheese, and fried chicken when we come here. This is one our favorite late night go see fast food places. I love that it stays open late and has the best catfish I ever had in my life. read more

The waffle was an incredible experience. One of the best waffles I have ever tasted. I will have dreams about this waffle until the next time. read more

Fried chicken so crispy and juicy! I have driven by this location so many times and finally stopped in to check it out. From the second you open the door to the restaurant, it is a spice overload on the senses which tells you of the freshly made to order system. It is a small location but the staff is quite friendly as they kept updating my wait time. The lemon and pepper and spicy options didn't disappoint as both were well seasoned. I opted for the Mac and cheese but I will have to return to check out their waffles. read more

OHHHH MY GOODNESS! This place right here is A1 -- I am in AWE right now I ordered the 4 piece plain wings / waffle with a HOMEMADE half & half and banana pudding! When I arrived at the Woodbridge location, the customer service was GREAT! This establishment was clean and empty (I went in the middle of the day)! I am excited to the try the Lemon Pepper Wings / the whiting's fish the next time read more

Friendly order-taker advised that the chicken would be ready in 15-20 min-- it took all of that and then some because it is made to order. I waited at one of the few tables in the well--lit dining area until the chicken was ready. (mine was aside of coleslaw. Baby! That chicken was worth the wait! I got the regular fried chicken with a side of slaw. Unfortunately, I went to an event where 3 girlfriends helped me eat my leg and 2 thighs (succulent and juicy). Now I'm gonna have to go back so that I can get to eat the chicken by myself. The coleslaw was good. The chicken was gone before I got to try either of the sauces (sweet/spicy and "signature") in my bag. The only thing I didn't like about my meal was the $15 that I paid for three pieces of chicken. read more

I had ordered from here via food delivery service and enjoyed the food. The whiting fish was not fresh, and did not taste good. The fish pieces were very small and had been re-fried. It was hard, not flaky and not as warm on the inside as the freshI'm so disappointed and probably not return. read more

Food here with meh. The fries were good. But Mac and Cheese, and Chicken was sooo greasy it was unappetizing. Service was a little slow but the staff was very nice. read more

I'll give them a 3.75 stars because the waffle and chicken wings tasted pretty good. I'm not sure if they had to go kill the chicken before it got to me because it took over an hour to get to me. And they forgot to include the utensils even though I put that on my order. Not sure why many of these places don't send the order with plastic utensils that why we are ordering food for delivery to not use our home utensils or plates. Because the prices online are extremely high even without the delivery fee and only a dollar for the service fee (I have Grubhub + right now) if I'm in Springfield shopping I'll order ahead and go pick up. Not trying to be waiting over an hour for my food. The waffle was light and fluffy and chicken slightly spiced but nothing to write home about. Since it took over an hour to get to me the food was cold. I'll give them a try but again will order ahead before picking up. read more

The chicken here is consistently delicious and the portions are generous. I especially enjoy the lightly battered double-fried fries and the mochi-like consistency of the waffle. I will advise that for large orders, take the extra minute needed to physically unpack your order and double check it yourself. Ms. Tina (and the manager over the phone) made the experience a lot better for me after a part of my order was missing. I appreciated that a lot and Ms. Tina was warm, comforting and understanding with the entire ordeal. You cannot call the restaurant (the phone number goes to voicemail after message), but they do accept orders online and via various delivery services (as well as walk-in). read more

Last visit was subpar. How can a fried chicken place eff up fried chicken? Fried so hard I was afraid I'd break a tooth and super dried out. Could be a one off bad experience...but I'm not inclined to give them another shot anytime soon. I threw away 5 pieces out of 9 and anybody who knows me knows that hurt me to do. Too bad. I used to like this place and it's proximity to Costco -Newington made it highly convenient. read more

The chicken, fries and tea was good, the options to choose different pieces of chicken were very difficult you are not allowed to choose what pieces you like...bummer! And the customer service was horrible the young guy was very unpleasant, not welcoming nor did he have an ounce of patience. I won't be back!!! read more

I walked in today and got the 9 piece spicy dark meat chicken and two waffles. It was a bit of a wait due to online orders, since they make it fresh to order. I took it to go. The fried chicken reminded me of popeyes chicken the old days. Much spicier than the current popeyes chicken. Very crunchy, steaming hot, moist chicken meat. I got sauces but didn't use any because the chicken was too good to spoil with sauce. Chicken 10 out of 10. As for the powdered sugar waffles, they were ok, a bit on the rubbery side. I was hoping for crunchy waffles with soft center. The syrup provided was not real maple syrup, it was the kind you get at at McDonald's pancake meal. Waffles 4 out of 10. They do have catfish and whitening on the menu which I did not notice til after I ordered. I hope to try them at a later time. Good job on the chicken! Please work on the waffles. Overall 4 out of 5 stars only because of the waffles. read more

Saw this place on google maps when looking for late night food. The storefront is in a very quiet and hidden plaza in my opinion, you wouldn't be able to just notice it. The cashier in the front was actually very nice and the food took around 15-20 mins to be done. Quite long in my opinion, but I guess good since everything was made fresh. The waffle was really good flavor wise! I would rate it like a 7/10. The tenders were surprisingly big and full of meat! The mac and cheese was also shocking because very little places I've been to make good mac and cheese. That dish did not disappoint! However the half and half was a bit on the sour side. Overall had a decent time, however, compared to other competitors (Uncle C's), the prices and flavor aren't the best. Still good to give it a try tho if you're nearby! read more

Their mac and cheese is the best! I love it. I really like their wings and waffle combo, too. The chicken was seasoned well and the waffle was delish.

I was pleasantly surprised by this southern-style chicken and waffle restaurant! Initially, I was skeptical, thinking the name might would match the taste being that I do not consider Northern VA "the south", but I was proven wrong. The waffles were perfect, and the fried chicken was absolutely delicious. The Arnold Palmer tea was spot on, too! They even have a special hot sauce that I believe they make in-house--it's perfect! And their creamy macaroni and cheese is baked to perfection. You can tell that the recipes are mastered, like something your grandmama's older sister would whip up--except the banana pudding, everything was "my favorite." Definitely worth a visit! read more

For the tenders I got spicy lemon pepper and it tasted amazing, not too salty & not dry either it was pretty juicy!! The waffle was amazing and really had that soft texture with that sweet powdered sugar. My family told me I found a great spot they had no idea about for so many years lol!! 10/10 definitely will be trying again!! read more

Delicious and fresh chicken! Placed a late order on DoorDash for 3 piece chicken and waffles and added an additional 2 waffles from their BOGO deal. Chicken was hot and juicy and my husband loved the waffles. Looking forward to trying their spicy chicken next time! read more

It was just ok. There's 3 tables to eat inside and 2 outside. Would recommend take out if ordering from here. The floor is very sticky. Ordering was confusing wasn't sure if we were to order from kiosk or lady at the counter. The kiosk will requests a tip but if ordering at counter no option to tip. They automatically give you one syrup, one hot sauce, and one honey mustard. I would recommend they ask customers if they need all three so that food isn't going to waste. Chicken and waffle was ok you def need more than one butter and one syrup. read more

I placed an order to go for wings and tenders. All orders are cooked to order so you have to wait. Which i don't have a problem waiting. The chicken was hot when I got home. What I didn't care for was all the grease that seeped through the box. Taste is good but drain the grease. read more

You've gotta try this place!!! Walked in and the area was clean and very inviting!!! Khan greeted us immediately and we ordered on the kiosk, the food came out quickly, hot and fresh! Their sauce is good- I tried the special sauce and it was good, a little like honey mustard with a twist and the sweet and spicy signature sauce was good as well! The chicken is delicious, you can tell it was cooked to order, steam was coming out of it as I was eating it, and it was fried to perfection! The macaroni was delicious too, check this place out, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Saw the ad in Facebook with a promo but wanted to come in, support a new local business and get my chicken wings and waffle -- and mac n cheese cravings satisfied. I came in the late afternoon and was the only patron in the store. I ordered wings with waffles and dark meat with Mac and cheese. I didn't mind the small wait as they cooked to order. The wings were crunchy, moist and seasoned just right for the fluffy fragrant waffle. With the powder sugar, I didn't need the syrup. I did enjoy the sweet mildly spicy red sauce. The Mac and cheese - was really rich, cheesy and delicious. I choose it instead of fries with my 3 piece dark meat. The chicken thigh was moist and crunchy. For me, the crust was too salty. The service was friendly and efficient. The manager was very informative, passionate about their food and their expansion. I will definitely return for my chicken and waffles. I will also try the hot sandwiches and tenders as recommended. I do hope they will expend their menu to offer fish and collard greens The cold left overs - the waffle delicious, the wings alone is salty but the red sauce add a great balance, and the Mac n cheese is rich and cheesy which can be a meal in itself. read more

I don't know how this place has any good reviews this is the first and last time I ever eat here the chicken wings are better at 711 then this place the staff is rude I asked if I can mix flavors and they acted if that was impossible then once I put my order in the lady was talking trash about me on the phone to whoever she was talking with that I wanted my order half and half either way the wings were trash with no taste and felt unsanitary never again waste of 17 bucks for 4 pcs of wings with barely meat on it with no taste and some mediocre fries. read more

This was good I enjoyed the chicken, fries, Mac and cheeses, and waffle. It seems like they were cooked to order, took about 20 minutes tho get after order. The cashier said the second time I went that the chicken sandwich was the best on the menu so I'll be back to try that. The space was pretty busy. Little space but enough. In what seemed to be a quiet piece of town. read more

Admittedly, I didn't try the waffles, but the food I did have was very disappointing. The chicken was cooked, but it had no seasoning on it. The macaroni and cheese was worse than a box of Kraft. It was oily and didn't have any cheese flavor at all. Also, the mambo sauce was awful--it was like some kind of oil mixed with red Kool-aid. Don't bother! I tried this place on a late night, so hopefully, they were just having an off night. The service was decent, so I will give them two stars but will not return. read more

Happened to be in the Springfield area with my son and stumbled across this place. We walked in and were greeted by a young man behind the counter who informed us that everything on the menu was great! So we ordered an order of 4 wings and a waffle along with 3 tenders and fries. When the food came out, we were pleasantly surprised as the waffle looked and tasted fabulous and the wings were nice and crunchy. The fry guy in the back was working his magic because these were some good wings. My son also enjoyed and his tenders and fries. He had no qualms and ate his plate clean. Good job and I expect to stop in again when I am in the area. read more

We ate inside and I thought it was really good. The food was made to order so took about 15 minutes. The chicken extremely crispy and the inside was still juicy. The waffles are really good. Again crunchy yet really soft and just a bit chewy. They must put some secret ingredient because they just tasted better than most waffles. It's a pretty simple place basic tables and chairs, nothing fancy. Finally, I thought price-wise it was reasonable and definitely would go back. read more

Omg! Chicken was amazing. Definitely worth the money. I usually don't write reviews but I just had to say something. This place is the best by far read more

The food is classic southern style and taste delicious. I ordered takeout on grubhub and my order was hot and packaged to perfection!

My son turned 16 today and we went to the Washington Wizards Game and decided to try the Southern Style Chicken & Waffles. The waffle was sweet and delicious. Everything was cooked to order. So when the food came out it was hot and fresh. The wings were fried to perfection, seasoned well and their homemade version of mumbo sauce was also a hit. The service was excellent. The ambiance was nice. It's not a large dining area but enough room for a family of 4 to sit comfortably. We definitely will return. read more

I was trying to place an online order and I called the store just to ask a simple question is the side that comes in the little aluminum pan big enough for more than one person as I was ordering 25 piece meals to feed four people the guy hung up on me and then when I tried to call back, it said that my number had been blocked.

The restaurant at the Alban Rd location is always clean with bright lighting and a friendly staff. I've been ordering online/pickup for over a year. The food is very good and tastes fresh. I started going for the chicken and waffles ... but now I'm a huge fan of their catfish/swai offerings. In my opinion SSCW is tops! read more

The food is definitely made to order! Soooo, if a couple people are in front of you, it will take a good long time for you to receive your food. We waited over 30 mins. The waffles were tasty but I didn't care for the chicken, the seasoning just wasn't what I'm used to or expected. It wasn't bad, just different. This is more of a garb & go spot but they do have a couple tables if you want to eat there. You get more meat if you order the chicken tenders. The wings were VERY small.

This place replaced the former crown chicken which I failed to check out, so I cannot compare the two ownerships. I got the regular chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese combo and came out to $10 and some change. The portions are good, flavor is good and nice crunch on the chicken. They just opened up so a little slow but please be patient with them as everything is cooked to order and worth it. I will be back to try their waffles, they smelled amazing. read more
