    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.

    *Food: Freshly prepared and hits the spot. The chicken and waffles are enough to share if you don't have a big appetite. If you want an additional waffle you can add on as an option. The half and half drink is made to perfection. *Service: Employees were very helpful with providing menu recommendations to try. *Ambiance: Music is entirely too loud. Too loud to enjoy your meal and too loud to think. Musical selection wasn't an issue, it was the volume of the music. After it was requested, the employees turned the volume down to a reasonable level.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Was entirely worth the wait !! Everything was fresh and hot .. took 17 minu.. but I would absolutely wait again!! Mashed potatoes, waffles , fried chicken fried fish !! Wow !!!!!

    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!

    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!

    Leg, tender, 3 wings; waffle; banana pudding; 6 shrimp w/cornbread
    Ry L.

    I almost wanna gatekeep this one. Just go. I haven't tried anything I didn't like. From the waffles, to the chicken, fish, shrimp, rice, banana pudding, it doesn't matter as you can't go wrong. The place is very casual. It looks like a converted McDonald's or something. They have regular tables and high tables that they keep fairly clean. Although they have a parking lot, you may be hard pressed to find an available spot during busy hours, especially brunch. They're quite efficient, but you may be in for a long wait at times. Since they have online ordering, I sometimes place an online order for takeout on my way home to Richmond.

    Capo Italian Deli - Old Town Alexandria…read more I reviewed our new Old Town neighbor - Capo Italian Deli - early in 2026. Time for an update. The deli is outstanding. Taking up a tiny footprint on the N. Washington Avenue thoroughfare, a few seconds from King Street, the deli delivers both hot and cold deli entrees, soft drinks, and salads. There's maybe half a dozen tables inside and a couple of tables outside, but from what I have seen thus far, most of the trade is with carry-out service, drawing from the excellent reputation Capo brought with it as it arrived in Old Town (the restaurant has siblings in Shaw NW, and Western Market in the District, Tyson's Corner in Vienna, VA, Annapolis and Potomac, MD). Fresh Philly rolls for those seeking a traditional hero sandwich, with go-to seasonings and all of the essential protein groups. My favorite is a large half roast beef half turkey with lettuce, tomato, and mayo (I skip the Italian dressing, which is part of the default, and I skip the cheese). I can and have made this $18 sandwich last three meals (so I ask them to cut the sandwich into three pieces), and the ingredients stay fresh for the next 24 hours. The last time I did this the sandwich fed me from 4:45 a.m. to 9 p.m., as I served as an election officer at one of Alexandria's polling places. Neat, trim, and completely satisfying. Just a point of concern: given its location, the opportunity to double-park while picking up an order seems to be just too tempting. This location, however, cannot over the long term sustain double-parkers. The deli is about 100 feet from the intersection of King Street and N. Washington Street. There is a dedicated lane for cars seeking to park adjacent to the deli. And then there are two northbound lanes on N. Washington Street. That's it - just two lanes serving one of the busiest intersections in Old Town. If a delivery-service car pulls up alongside one of the parked cars, all hell will break loose by drivers who suddenly find a delivery vehicle double-parking in front of Capo, leaving but one northbound lane open for however long it takes for the delivery agent to gather the order and beat it out of there. This happens with remarkable frequency, starting at about 11 a.m. and running throughout the day. That's not going to make good neighbors of Capo's nearby shops. Alexandria Parking has its work cut out for it, but here the rule prohibiting double-parking has to be enforced - it's both a safety issue and an issue of common courtesy. Doesn't matter if you think you'll just be in and out of the deli in seconds. We know it doesn't work that way, not always, and here - not even often. More often than not the double-parker will be creating a traffic hazard just by parking alongside a parked car in front of the deli. Please, don't do this.

    I think I just got the wrong thing here. I ordered the Italian beef sub which is roast beef,…read morepecorino/mozzarella, sauteed onions and garlic, and marinara sauce. Nothing about the sandwich stood out or was good, it just...existed. There was no real flavor to anything; the most "flavorful" part was the marinara. Unless you really like roast beef, I'd avoid this one. I'll go back and try something else because I'm sure it was just that sandwich.

Once I started eating I got flashbacks to a warm summer day from my youth. I would highly recommend this sandwich shop. I'm not Italian nor did I grow up in Italy; however this sandwich is some type of magical because for a brief moment there this sandwich took me to a past life.

    Great little sandwich shop!…read more It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich.

    We came to Caphe on the recommendation of some friends, but left disappointed…read more Some of the good at Caphe: the crispy roll is indeed excellent and the vermicelli fine. However, the young male staff is rather rude and indifferent. First, off there is a Wi-Fi available "Caphe Guest" (see photo). I asked one staffer what the password was, because Caphe is in one of those sections of Old Town where wireless access, like Verizon, is notoriously poor. The guy gave me some garbled answer and walked away. Alrighty, so I asked another staffer and he said he didn't know what the password was and walked away. That leads up to my order of chicken pho. I asked for no cilantro and that same waiter repeated my request for no cilantro. But when the pho was brought to my table, the green in the pho looked suspiciously like cilantro. I asked the waiter about it. He looked at the pho and said it was not cilantro. I took a sip and quickly determined there was cilantro in the pho. When I tried to get my server's attention, as he was standing in back of the counter, he saw me and haughtily turned away. So, I took the pho up to counter and asked that my order be remade. To Caphe's credit, Caphe did correctly remake my order.. But the pho broth was brown and had an odd canned flavor. It just wasn't very good.
