    Macaroni and cheese sandwich with fries and a drink.
    Faith M.

    12/10 it's THAT good! I got a Mac chicken sandwich and it was super flavorful and filling! I will say, the chicken is cook to order, but I personally don't mind waiting for that kind of quality. The food was fresh and the chicken was so good! I took a bite before I could take a photo, so the sandwich may have a piece missing...haha The location isn't perfect, but don't let that stop you from trying this place! I think I like it better than most other chicken chain restaurants. They also have other non sandwich items...like a salad, Mac bowls, chicken & waffles. The staff was so kind and they helped navigate their menu. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying this place!

    The Mac & Chicken fries were mouth watering!! Definitely outdid Angry Chickz, both in taste & portion size. If you're in the area, definitely try this place!

    7/26/25 Getting lunch! Mac & Cheese chicken sandwich sounded Delicious! Ordered and paid for it on the Yelp app! Convenience!! It says when it will be ready and I went to pick it up. Arrived!! They have a drive-thru and pick up window. I went to the pick up window and greeted!! He wad very kind and welcoming! He hooked me up with a combo!! Thank you!! =) He gave me my Diet drink, chatted and let me know about ordering on Toast too. Great. Received order shortly later and left. Great Diet drink to start with the crunchy ice! Lunchtime! SmalovSpicy Mac & Cheese Chicken Sandwich was WoW! Cheesy & DELICIOUS!! Perfect spice with GREAT, flavorful chicken & fresh pickles! It's LARGE too! Crunchy fries were GREAT!

    This is the menu as of today and the food is great and alway fresh so if there are people in front of you you'll have to wait a bit of time for it to be cooked

    Mac N' Chicken Fries

    Came here because of good reviews but a bit disappointed. I ordered the mac chicken fries & didn't have no flavor on mac or fries couldn't finish it, I wont be ordering that again unless they add flavor to it. Luckily i had ordered chicken sandwich that had good flavor & bread was delicious but again fries that came with chicken sandwich had no flavor

    Lots of chicken

    Went here again. This time trying the Famous Bowl. I asked if it had Fries or Mashed Potatoes. Cashier said Mashed Potatoes. Too my surprise it's both. So, only thing is they should know their menu, especially since it's a small menu. Besides thatits good place to go.

    The mac n chicken fries ‍

    The Mac N chicken fries ‍ Going try that peanut butter shake now. Been hearing alot about it

    When this place first opened up i thought, "ohh another chicken spot whatevs!" Since it feel like Fresno has been over saturated with chicken places that are just meh, But once I went over and tried it for myself It changed my mind completely. The flavor of the chicken is really good and juicy, with great portion size! You can tell this place takes pride in what they do because of how great the food is, the price, and their friendly service. Best chicken spot in Fresno and it's not even close.

    #3 combo! Sauce is so good!

    Well, this is THE chicken place this side of Humboldt, TN, with all due respect to my Grandmother …read more The fried chicken is breaded, but not too much, fried all the way to the bone, but not burnt, & flavorful. In a word, delicious. The Mac N Cheese is baked & hot & tasty. My wife really liked the Collards & enjoyed her chicken thighs. Servers are very attentive. This place is really small & the ambiance is Dayton, OH funk (think Roger & Lakeside) which made this former Gem City resident happy. They only have a few tables so most of their business seems to be take out. Everything is cooled to order so there is a wait, but it is well worth it. I will be back to try the catfish. 5-stars

I'm not too close to Fresno but would recommend this to anyone who is in the area. I would make it a point to come back again if I were in the area for sure! My husband got the chicken and waffles while I ordered one of their specials of the day - rib tips. I got mashed potatoes and macaroni on the side (they were delicious but definitely regretted not trying other sides). The rib tips were perfect, smokey and tender. The fried chicken was sooo crispy and juicy. I do prefer crispier waffles, but it still went well with the very crispy chicken. The portions are plentiful, I had enough for a second meal.

    Lord where do I even START!! This place is amazing beyond belief I'm not kidding!…read more We made a reservation for a company luncheon with 16 of us. Made it 1 week in advance and they were set and ready for us! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the food came out before the other half of the table even finished ordering I'm not kidding! The fried chicken combo (3 piece) was phenomenal! I got Mac n cheese with yams and cornbread and then added on a chili for extra $ Everything was piping hot so it was very fresh. The chicken was juicy as all hell and that flavor oh my gosh! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The yams were so sweet and flavorful all the way through, and the Mac n cheese had a nice crust with the perfect creamy texture to it! The cornbread was as good as any and the chili beans had the perfect kick! I do prefer a more soupy meat based chili myself but no complaints here! A lot of my coworkers had the fried fish and were RAVING about it! The type of fish they use really shows in the taste and quality! The spicy fried fish was good as well and the sea food gumbo was also delicious all according to the table! Prices are to be expected, it's not your cheapest option but babe it's the yummiest so get on over there! The inside is cute and cozy and they accommodated our party size nicely. They had some good music playing in the kitchen too which we appreciated! Nonetheless DONT MISS THIS PLACE! Please come support and give them your business! Not too many soul food places in Fresno so make this your go to fr!

    Country Waffles is one of those Fresno institutions that I have a soft spot for even when it's not…read moreperfect. the waffles are genuinely good. crispy, fluffy, the strawberry ones are dangerous. and for the price you really cannot complain, this is one of the more affordable sit down breakfast spots in town and the portions reflect that in a good way. where it gets complicated is the service. some mornings its smooth and friendly and you wonder what all the fuss in the other reviews is about. other mornings it feels understaffed and chaotic and you're watching your coffee sit empty for 15 minutes. I've had both experiences at this same location. closes at 1:30pm so you have to plan around that, no lazy afternoon brunch window here. the food itself though, when it comes out right, is comfort breakfast done simply and well. nothing trendy or overthought, just waffles and eggs and hash browns the way they've always been. I keep coming back which probably says enough. just go on a weekday if you can, skip the weekend rush, and order the waffles. that part never lets me down.

The wrap was grilled but only on one part so it was cold on all the other sides. It wasn't bad but for the price I expect more chicken and bacon. It came with fries which were not cooked all of the way through. My server also dropped my check off with my food and never came back which was weird. I had to flag her down for a box and to actually take my card with the check she left with my food. That is weird service. The place seemed clean enough but the staff was not friendly. For the price you either have to have good food or good service and this place didn't have either.

    Very late review, 2 months late…read more I went with my niece and a couple friends one Saturday morning. No reservation so we waited a good amount of time but it wasn't so long that it was unbearable. Very cute waiting area. I didn't expect it to look as... modern? as it did? I'm not sure what I expected it to look like but it was nice inside. Staff was suuuper friendly. Every single one we spoke to. Considering how busy they were (constant flow of traffic/customers)... I appreciate that they can still smile and make you feel welcomed. I ordered the OG French Toast, my niece got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich on a Croissant. I can't remember what my friends ordered. Portions are very good. We could have easily split a plate (my niece and I) and be okay. Classic American breakfast. Everything was good/satisfying. We all enjoyed our meals. I also got their Brown Butter Iced Coffee-- saw one of the guys that worked there drinking one behind the counter and asked what it was, lol. I can't say it was the best coffee drink I've ever had but it was still pretty good. Not strong though. Though I've written a raving review, when it comes down to the food, it's not the best breakfast I've had around Fresno. It would not be a first choice for me personally but I also wouldn't mind coming back if my friends wanted to. Plus, there's so much more to try on their menu so it's not fair to judge overall food off one visit. For now, they are a solid 4.
