Mr. C's Fried Chicken & Waffles In San Antonio, Texas Review

I love Southern Food but I'm too lazy to cook it on my own. So I was excited when I heard Mr. C's Fried Chicken & Waffles was opening nearby. They make southern food!

It's a small restaurant, so I recommend going when they first open. We went during the week when it wasn't overly crowded, but I know on weekends they can get incredibly busy. It opens at 1030 AM during the week, and 8 AM on the weekends.

There were so many amazing options. I know most people would be like, "I'm totally getting the chicken and waffles!" but other things were tempting me.

I loved that the drinks were served in mason jars. I tried out their sweet tea, and it was perfect. Sometimes places make their tea too sweet or barely sweet at all. This had a wonderful balance.

Tom got the Kool-Aid and it was sweet, not watered down:

Everyone gets cornbread! I believe it was honey cornbread because it was sweet, and the butter paired wonderfully. I wanted more, actually, but I was all, "Amber, let's not gorge yourself."

Plus, we tried out the Fried Chicken Skins appetizer, so I had to make room.

I absolutely loved these chicken skins. They were seasoned well, plus the gravy made them taste extra amazing. I ate so many of these. My husband stopped after a few bites and I was like, "Hello? Help me eat these," and he said he was getting full.

I was too, actually. But they were SO GOOD.

But I had to stop to make room for this:

That would be a Monte Cristo sandwich. For those who don't know, it's basically a fried ham and cheese sandwich. Topped with powdered sugar and accompanied with a raspberry sauce.

The ham and cheese on the sandwich was spectacular. You always worry you'll get a cheap cut of ham, but no, this was quality ham. It wasn't overcooked either. The waffle fries that came with it barely got eaten, I won't lie. There really wasn't much room left in my stomach for them.


My husband got the mac and cheese:

He can be quite picky, but he liked it. I tried a bite, and the cheeses tasted fabulous. I really should start making mac and cheese like this at home, but again, I'm rather lazy in the kitchen.


There are also desserts, but we were full, so we skipped them. But next time, maybe. I mean, look at that chocolate cake! There are also cobblers, pies, and banana pudding.

I also loved that you could get To Go drinks. I always do this because I feel like I get my money's worth for my drink.

We will definitely be back because I need to try the chicken & waffles. I recommend trying this place out.

Remember: go with an empty stomach, because there is tons of amazing food to try!
