Since they moved to their new location, I've been smelling their food down the street. I brought the family here during happy hour on a weekday. We ordered 2 of the happy hour specials. I thought their prices was fair, even with regular pricing, and their portion size was generous. Staff was super attentive, and they give off the vibes of a family run small business. We mostly enjoyed the food, the good: - the syrup was super tasty with the waffles - mac & cheese did not sit too heavy in the stomach and it tasted homemade - cornbread was a balanced The chicken was a little dry, but there is sauce to eat the chicken with so it was not too bad. Overall definitely would come back, I love the community vibe the place gives off.

The soul food destination when you're hankering for soul food and don't have time to cook. Great fried chicken, sides and fish dishes also. Their new location is wonderful and fresh.

Stopped by for a drink and decided to grab one of their signature drinks. The yellow bus hit the spot. It's a bit chilly tonight, but this I imagine to be a perfect afternoon little something something.

Take out lunch! Weekday lunch special on point! Any of the special are great and you got to get the thigh! Order by phone easy. 30 minutes ready and parking was easy on a Friday. You got to go to the new location! Will go again and this time eat there!

New location! Great promise, great food! I'm so glad to visit this new rebirth of an icon. The new spot up on 4th among the taprooms could not be better -a wonderful open space, and a more bustling location with lots of hungry folks? Most important: the chicken was perfect and the waffles were too! I got wings & a waffle -crunchy tasty, and whole big wings, yum! My partner got sausage (fried!?!) with a buckwheat waffle, a amazing except she ate half my waffle, what? Service: friendly folks, our server had been with the restaurant many years, and was happy with the new spot. Suggestion: would LOVE to see the local taps represented in your beer selection, hopefully y'all are just signing the final deals on this.

We've been anxiously waiting for the reopening for Home of Chicken & Waffles in the old Chop Bar location that had been left too long unoccupied. Luckily we were able to snatch a reso during their soft opening where we imbibed and feasted! Embarrassingly we mistook our 6pm reso for 6:30pm so showed up a bit late. Nevertheless our delightful host Jeffrey ushered us in and seated us right next to his podium. Throughout the evening the Jeffrey and the manager came by to check in on us making sure we were doing ok. Out waitress was efficient, took down our drink orders while we marveled at their menu wondering what to order. And whoooeeee their drinks were stiff. Husband got the Yellowcab (I think this was a robust blend of tequila, Hennessy, lemonade and orange juice) while I got the Side Car (which was better balanced with cranberry juice, Hennessy I think) but equally delicious). Drinks are $3 off between 4-7pm. The plates we chose were Incredible Kelly - gotta have the waffle when in Rome right? And Gordon's Bank. Incredibly Kelly came with their signature crispy thin waffle, buttered grits and chicken thigh (they didn't have legs that day). The chicken thigh was fried to golden perfection with juicy succulent flesh; I would have eaten the bones too if I could! The syrup that came with the waffle was lightly spiced with cinnamon oooh what a treat. Gordon's Bank came with candied yam, Mac and cheese, and wings. We even got a side of biscuit. Everything was so good! Mac and cheese and candied yam were super tasty too. The ambience was lovely, warm, and inviting. I have especially loved their multi-colored Sputnik globe lights. So cool! Super stoked to see this the rebirth of this time tested and iconic establishment in Oakland. Get out and support them y'all!
