    Fried shrimp
    Monique P.

    Whenever we pop over to Virginia we have to stop by Uncle C's Chicken & Waffles. The restaurant is always clean and offer plenty of sitting if you decide to eat there. The service is quick and friendly. We always order the fried chicken which comes with a delicious mini cornbread muffin and creamed spinach, but this time we decided to add the fried shrimp and garden salad. Everything was served hot and fresh. Since I don't gate keep, I'm telling y'all to run don't walk to Uncle C's Chicken & Waffles and give them a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.

    Hair in chicken

    Ahhh I'm really disappointed. My partner and I really wanted to like Uncle C's Chicken and Waffles on Richmond Highway. We've eaten here before (probably back in 2023) and were hoping to have another good experience. Unfortunately, this time around was a total letdown. We ordered chicken and waffles with mac and cheese. The mac was way too greasy and overly cheesy, to the point where there was barely any actual macaroni. The deal breaker was that my partner found a hair fried into the chicken, not on it, but actually cooked into the batter. We almost threw up. That was enough for us to toss everything. I try to be fair in my reviews, but after this experience, we won't be going back.

    Takeout (candied yams, Mac and cheese, and fried chicken)
    Shernell H.

    Let me first start by saying, I was pleasantly impressed! So, a friend had decided on Uncle C's Chicken & Waffles as takeout for her birthdate celebration and the food was soo goodt! So much so that I had three plates lol andddd that I intentionally saved Uncle C's on my visit again list on Yelp. First thing to note, I'm not one that ever buys fried chicken, it's just not my preference. But, I thoroughly enjoyed their fried chicken! The batch was bussing! Then the candied yams... just absolutely scrumptious. Now on to the Mac and cheese... simply perfection. My taste buds were experiencing fireworks for each plate. If ever I am craving some good Mac and cheese, with candied yams, and some bussing friend chicken, I definitely know where to go!

    3piece 3pc Chicken & 1 Waffle

    I decided to stop by Uncle C's Chicken and Waffles because I was craving some good chicken and waffles. I've been here before, and it's an easy, convenient spot right off the highway with plenty of parking. That said, things have definitely changed over the years, especially the prices. For three pieces of chicken and one waffle, my total was $13.99, which honestly feels a bit high for what you get. The cool part is that you can mix and match between wings, dark meat, or chicken tenders. The service was fairly quick since the chicken is already pre-cooked and waiting -- the only thing made fresh is the waffle. The waffle itself was good soft, fluffy, and flavorful though I personally like mine a bit more crispy. They provide the usual condiments (hot sauce, honey mustard, ketchup, syrup), but I brought my own 100% pure maple syrup. The chicken was solid fried hard, nicely seasoned, not too much breading, and with a good crunch. It tastes like your typical "chicken box" style fried chicken, which isn't a bad thing. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it, but it definitely hits the spot when you're craving that combo. Still, $14 for three pieces of chicken and a waffle (no drink included) feels steep. The restaurant does have other soul food-style sides like yams, mac and cheese, and greens. It's not clear if the place is Black-owned ,the staff working there weren't ,but it gives that carryout, chicken box type of vibe. There's plenty of seating inside, and while they ask if you're dining in or taking out, everything is served in a bag ,so you just grab it and sit down if you want. They also have a few dessert options. Overall, if you're a chicken and waffle lover, you won't be disappointed by the taste. It's not extraordinary, but it's good comfort food just a little overpriced for what it is.

    Wings and cornbread
    Chip S.

    Today was a borderline miss, but I did go against my rule of not going to places an hour before closing. I had to wait a little longer than I liked... there were people who came after me who left before me. All I ordered was a five-piece wing with cornbread. By the time they called my number, they only had four wings left. So she gave me one tinder, and one half of a tinder ‍. The food was lukewarm. Luckily I live nearby, so I just took it home and heated it. I've been here many times before, so I give them a pass on this one. I used to be usually get three wings with waffles.And it's always great. No more late night excursions!

    This restaurant specializes in fried chicken. They have chicken sandwiches, fried chicken parts, wraps, and breakfast sandwiches. They also have fish and shrimp. There is a modest sized dining area here and the available parking is also kind of limited. Even hough my interaction with them was limited, the staff seemed helpful and friendly. I ordered the Atlanta, a crispy chicken smothered in honey butter, topped with cheese on a brioche bun. I also go a side of fries. It took them about 10 minutes to prepare my food. It was fresh, hot and very delicious. There was a ton of food and I could not eat it all. I highly recommend getting some of their lemonade if you like sweet lemonade. mmmmmm. The chicken was flavorful and well seasoned. This is an underrated spot in my book. If their friend chicken tastes half as good as it looks, it will taste amazing. I did really like my meal though. I highly recommend checking this place out. You will not be disappointed.

    Mac and cheese
    Sandra S.

    Decided to visit uncle C's after seeing the hyper on TikTok. I got the 5 piece fried chicken with 2 waffles, Mac & cheese, candied yams, 2 sides of cornbread, banana pudding. Fried chicken- 5/5. Got dark meat, chicken tasted home cooked, crispy and seasoned. Delicious. Waffles- 4/5 good waffles. Nothing crazy. Great size! Mac & cheese- 2/5 mainly cheese, no macaroni and no flavor. Candied yams-4.5/5 pretty sweet, but really good. May be a little too sweet for some people. Cornbread-4/5 good! Moist, small size, only 89 cents a piece. Banana pudding- 1/5 too much real banana was in it. I love banana pudding but this tasted like it was made for banana lovers with extra bananas which I don't personally care for. Overall, food was fairly good! We visited on Sunday around 1pm and it was pretty packed. After waiting a few minutes for a food, a table became ready! There is ample parking in a parking lot. Everyone is helpful. The restaurant is very clean!

    This was OK chicken and waffles experience. They serve southern style breakfast, lunch, and dinner food including fried chicken and seafood; they also serve traditional southern sides like mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. On this occasion I ordered a few menu items, all of which tasted OK. The menu options and quality are similar to other mid-tier fried chicken and waffles restaurants in the area and region. This restaurant is perfect for your hankering for fried food considering their vast menu options. There is ample seating in the dining room if you desire to eat in. The customer service was OK. This restaurant gets no shortage of customers, so I'll certainly give them another try when in the area again to confirm their quality.

    Thanks Wooboi for the great chicken!…read more I was in the area working. I did a quick 5 mile run along the Potomac River. I saw this place and decided to try it. The menu is straight forward. Chicken sandwich, tenders a burrito, fries and a pudding. I got the 3 tenders and slice of bread. Spice level mild. Great portions. My chicken was hot, fresh and succulent. Well seasoned and flavorful. $13 or so. No fries. Service was fast and the restaurant is clean. I love Nashville hot chicken. And this place didn't disappoint. I saw they have other locations. That's good to know because ow I know where to get great flavor and good portions of protein. Keep up the good work.

The service was appropriate (the two workers that were there were courteous and got the food out in a normal amount of time). The food was absolutely a let down. The seasoning flavor was not a good blend. I got the Level Two which had some good heat which I liked, but the amount of seasoning in the skin and bun was excessive, so much so that it overpowered the flavor of the coleslaw and pickles. I was disappointed and will not be coming back to this place. I could not recommend this place to anyone looking for a good chicken sandwich.

Unfortunately, our visit on Saturday, August 1st was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the cleanliness. We waited about 20 minutes just to use the restroom because one bathroom was locked the entire time. After asking an employee to unlock it, we found it in unacceptable condition. The toilet hadn't been flushed, paper towels and toilet paper were scattered all over the floor, the sink was filthy, and it honestly looked like the restroom hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The service also left a lot to be desired. We had to repeat our order three separate times because it kept being entered incorrectly, and the order displayed on the screen still wasn't accurate. After ordering, we waited 15-20 minutes for our food. The dining area wasn't much better. The tables, floors, and overall restaurant were noticeably dirty, our table wobbled the entire meal, and there weren't any forks available when our food was served. However, despite those issues, the food itself was exactly what we've come to expect from Jollibee. Everything was served fresh, hot, and tasted great. That's the main reason we keep coming back. I just hope this location improves its cleanliness and overall customer experience because it has the potential to match the quality of the food it serves.
