    Regular waffle and chicken cutlet with Mac and cheese and apple butter.
    Lindsey B.

    Went to Dame's for lunch today and it was great. Our server (Dakota?) was phenomenal! I got an original waffle with apple butter and a chicken cutlet with a side of Mac and cheese. I was a little disappointed that the apple butter was just regular ole Smuckers but it was delicious nonetheless. The chicken was fantastic, perfectly crunchy and moist at the same time. We got in just in time because the wait time jumped to 30 minutes soon after we arrived but it would have been worth it. Definitely recommend if you are looking to try something new!

    I was so excited to be back at Dame's! We stopped in for lunch ready for a good meal. It wasn't too busy, so, we were seated right away. The service was amazing. I believe our server was named Trent. He was great. The food was highly disappointing. We ordered our food and it took all of 7 minutes for them to be walking out with our food. I knew then it was going to be some bs. The biggest disappointment was that the food wasn't fresh. The chicken seemed like it was fried at an earlier time and then warmed up. It also appeared that they may have dumped it in grease to give that fresh look but nope. Come to find out, the grease was old. The waffle was like rubber. It definitely wasn't fresh. The theme carried over with the guests I was with as well. We all left highly disappointed and feeling cheated. It's so unfortunate because we had a great experience our first time visiting.

    Dakota was our waitress and she was so cute and food dope, went over the menu with us and told us how we could mix and match options. I think I ordered the Classy Hen but opted for a sweet potato waffle and the chocolate hazelnut spear. I also got a side of southern grits! It was just ok, I expected the waffle to taste like a sweet potato pie and it didn't but they'd really be doing something if it did! The chicken was hot and fresh but too much breading which all just fell off and was left on my plate. I had to ask for my grits but it was literally just what appeared to be a condiment bowl worth of grits. It was a relatively quiet place, music was playing but not overbearingly loud. The restroom was clean and I only spent about $20. We parked along the street, the sign read four hour parking but there were no meters.

    Dame's is amazing! The waffles and the fried chicken both taste perfect. They have fun-flavored smears and syrups too to add on top of your waffles which pair perfectly with the salty crispy chicken. It is always packed which is a good sign but they get your seated as quickly as they can. Their mimosas are a little sweet for me, but they have tons of other drink options!

    We built our own plate with 3 drumsticks, a classic waffle with regular butter, cashew caramel, and a side of squash and onions. The drumsticks were perfectly seasoned and crispy, the side was flavorful, and the sauce tied everything together nicely. Friendly service and a delicious meal overall. The ambiance was simple but pleasant, with beautiful music playing in the background that added a nice touch to the experience.

    Lovvveeed the food here! We were visiting for a wedding, staying at the Marriott which was about 10 minutes away; we ate here twice! Party of 3 and we all wanted more and may I add, we were visiting from Chicago where I truly believe we have some of thee best food! We ordered chicken and waffles... we had legs, wings, cutlets, original and pumpkin waffles, greens, potato salad, Mac & cheese, grits and eggs. ALL delicious and seasoned to perfection! The grits were my least favorite, they tasted like they were seasoned too, that's not my preference. Mimosas were uniquely made, with many flavors; they were boozy, fresh and tasty! That potato salad was to die for! The whisky glaze was my favorite! Visit, eat and enjoy!

    The meal. 3 wings, sweet potato waffle, greens and mac n cheese.

    I met a friend at this oldie, but goodie place! It's on the outer skirts of downtown Greensboro in a quaint neighborhood reminiscent of Burbon St. I scheduled a reservation 2 days in advance as it was move-in weekend at local colleges. This helped us be seated right away by the kind hostess. Our waitress came to the table immediately to take our drink order and we ordered our food briefly after. I can't for the life of me remember the name of what I ordered, but it was 3 wings and a sweet potato waffle with maple smear and ranch sauce. My sides were mac and cheese and collards. I was allowed to customize my waffle, smear (flavored butter), and sauce (or syrup). The chicken is cooked to order, so it did take a while for it to come out. But when it did, it was hot and our orders were correct. The chicken could have been a little more crispy, but it was flavorful. The mac and cheese is unique in that it is heavily seasoned with rosemary. I enjoy this, but if you're not a fan of rosemary, I don't think you'll enjoy it. The greens were on the spicy side, but good. Not the best greens I've had, but good. The waffle was ok. It was a little too dense and the sweet potato flavor wasn't there. This is what earned the review 4 out of 5 stars. Overall it was a great visit. If you'll be visiting Greensboro and are looking for some brunch or soul food, add this spot to your list!

    Came in and had a delicious lunch this Tuesday around noon. Dakota was my sever and she was great. She was knowledgeable of the menu and very attentive. As I dined I enjoyed the r&b instrumentals playing in the background. Ordered the build your own chicken and waffles with a side of Mac and cheese. The pineapple waffle is delicious and reminded me of a sweet pineapple upside down cake. The chicken was hot and juicy and the seasoned skin peeled right off. The Mac is ok. Creamy and seasoned. Great lunch! Thank you!

    My how things can change in 9 years. When we (my wife and I) used to live here many years ago, Dame's was in my top 3 restaurants in the area. We went here almost every week. It was on that list of "If all else fails, go to Dame's!" Food, service, atmosphere... everything was great. Towards the end of our first stint living here that many years ago, kind of felt the service becoming less than impressive compared to what it use to be. We moved back to the area a few months ago, so we of course wanted to put this back into our rotation. Went here a few times over the months prior to this review. Since we've been back, every time we left we weren't as satisfied as we use to be. The food didn't taste the same, service had been hit or miss as well. After our most recent trip and experience is when I decided to write this review... Came here on this particular visit and was told there was a 20 minute wait, not a problem. Got a text that we were placed on the wait list. My wife was in the mood for a coffee so we walked to grab one. Was back within 15 minutes. Checked the wait list on the way back and saw we were next some we did a speed walk back. It was crowded inside, so we sat outside to wait for the alert our table was ready. 20 min became 40, 40 became over 60 minutes. I'm a very patient and understanding person, but something wasn't making sense. As I was about to go in the restaurant to see what was happening, I got a text saying I had been kicked off the waitlist. So of course that got me thinking, were we just sitting here for no reason without having an up table coming for us? When I went inside to tell them what happened, someone just went to a table, put two menus on it, and told them to sit us there. No acknowledgment of what happened or even an apology for the mistake. Technology isn't perfect, and I get it, however, as a customer who had been here many times in the past or even if I wasn't and it was my first time, you should still be courteous and respectful to people when something goes wrong and they want to come to your establishment. To add, the food once again was meh, not amazing like it once was. Food used to come out piping hot and smelled fresh. I remember being able to see the steam come out of the chicken wings when I would break them apart. Came out so fresh. Now the food comes out room temperature and the wings look they were cooked in old, non fresh grease. I can clearly see the difference between the first picture I took here nine years ago and the most recent one for this review. I hope things can get back to the way they use to be here because this place was great. I don't want to give up on this place and would love to still support, but day old tasting chicken wings and lukewarm waffles won't keep me coming.

    My friend and I stopped by Days Chicken-N-Waffles for lunch after a photo shoot, and overall, it was a great choice! I ordered the classic chicken and waffles, which came with four whole wings and a waffle, plus a side of mac & cheese. The chicken was fried crispy and flavorful, and I really appreciated the different spreads for the waffle--a nice touch that made it even better. The mac & cheese was decent but could've used more seasoning. Service was smooth--we were seated within 5 to 10 minutes. The only downside is that parking is limited, so be prepared for that. If you're in the area and craving Southern comfort food, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

    You don't come to the south without getting chicken and waffles!?! Simply put, this spot smacks! The chicken has crispy skin and isn't over salted. The shmears give you endless waffle flavors. I recommend the blueberry and peach ones and the tea, well you're in the south - sweet and delicious. We had great service and they took the time to explain the menu. This location sits on a quaint corner on MLK with beautiful buildings surrounding.

    Classic Cutlet with strawberry schmear and drizzle
    David E.

    Cutlets cooked perfectly and waffle made spot on! The schmears were a new twist and the drizzles were creative and delicious. Each food item could be a standalone entree. Food is amazing and staff was super friendly! Will now be on my list as a must- stop when in Greensboro! Nice work, Dame!

    If this was just for the food, it would be a 5, so I'll start there. Excellent food and we loved everything we got. The waffles were delicious and the chicken was cooked well. The schemers were all delicious! As for the service we came around 3-4pm and there was only one other table occupied in the building. They sat us at the very end of room under a speaker with the music much too loud. We requested another table since it was loud. It appeared to be an inconvenience but they reseated us. The hostess was quiet and we waited roughly 20 minutes after we were done eating waiting for our check, the other table had left and we were the only ones in the place. It's one thing to wait for good food, another to wait for a bill.

    So it's high time I leave a review for Old Town Draft House. I've been here numerous times and I'm…read moreonly writing my first review now. Such an amazing spot. Jill and Kayne, who previously created KAU at Revolution Mill before selling it to Pepper Moon, also own Old Town Draft House and Boulder's Bar and Grill. Each and every one is amazing in its own way. Old Town has been one of the longest standing establishments, and it puts out incredible food! Burgers, wraps, apps, salads, wings, sandwiches, Philly's, even a burrito... you name it. Pretty much everything that comes out of this kitchen is a hit. Today I had the chicken Philly. Yep, the best chicken Philly I've had in a very long time. The classic soft Philly hoagie, chicken that's tender and juicy, peppers and onions full of flavor with the perfect consistency (not too limp, not too raw), all topped with oozing cheese that they're not shy with. I'm salivating just thinking about it as I write this...may have to go get another one tomorrow lol. The housemade chips and dip were perfect with it. Great craft beers, local options, and everything in between round out a perfect pub in the heart of UNCG. This one is definitely in the rotation. No matter what owner couple Jill and Kayne do, they do it amazingly well.

    This is a location that has been on my bookmarks for a long time, but I'm honestly not sure why I…read morehaven't been there sooner. On a Saturday afternoon, I was in Greensboro and in the mood for some good pretzels and a draft beer, and this hit the spot. Old Town Draught House has a very old bar ambience, without feeling worn out and dated. I love the old dark wood throughout the building. They have a pretty broad draft beer menu, along with normal bar offerings. I was happy to see multiple sour beers on the list, because that's exactly what I was in the mood for. There's no table service, and it is seat yourself, but the bartenders were very attentive, and it was never difficult to place an order at the bar. We ordered a few beers and decided to get deviled eggs and the pretzels as appetizers to share. Food came out very quickly. The pretzels were pretty good, but I've had better elsewhere. Rather than being crispy, they were soft and a bit soggy, but the flavor was great. The beer cheese was on point, although I would've preferred a spicy brown mustard over yellow mustard. The deviled eggs were a bit of a letdown, because it was just a hard-boiled egg cut in half with a little bit of sweet chili peppers and dressing that tasted like 1000 Island on top. When I think of deviled eggs, I anticipate the egg yolks being removed, mixed with a few ingredients, and piped back in. For what was basically two eggs cut in half, the six-dollar price tag was steep. Overall, we had a great experience, although I would likely choose different food options next time. The bar staff were great, the beer offerings nice, and the ambience was a good vibe.

She was literally hoppin' it was so busy but did a good job of keeping up. She helped me find items on the menu that fit my dietary restrictions. Nice vibe, laid back, loud. Parking isn't great limited onsite but there's plenty of additional parking across the street. The best menu! There's SOOOO many things I want to try. I mean, a variety of different fries are you kidding me? My friend had the spicy goat burger which she said was good: if you don't like messy don't get it because the sauce is very sticky and she said there needs to be more sauce on the burger. I had a customized salad which was huge and delicious. The salad was too big for the size of plate though. The dressing was a house made roasted shallots and was yummy. Outdoor and indoor seating. Not in Greensboro often but I'm coming back here!

Since I was driving back by on my home the next day, had a late lunch. Arrived around 3pm on a Friday and sat at the bar. Given the hour, it was fairly quiet. Weird experience, bar was wide open. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, someone decided to sit in the seat right next to me. Why?! I must comment on the service. The barkeep got me a menu quick and I ordered a water. During my meal, my water sat empty for 5 minutes or so even thought I counted 8 staff members behind the bar. Given the time of day, it was not busy. I ordered onion rings (as a side) and the Bacon Jam burger as it came with the "cordon Bleu" fries. The onion rings stole the show. So good. The fries were not my jam. Low quality cheese sauce with lunch meat ham that was diced. My fault, I should have subbed regular fries as I don't like stuff on my fries. I was expecting it to be a seasoning. My mistake. The burger was good not great. I got the 12 oz size and learned it is 2 fat 6 oz. patties stacked. Makes it VERY tall. The description of this burger is shown in one of my photos. Again, it was good but the flavors just did not pop. Wish I got the French Onion burger. Next time. :-) I do recommend!
