    Chicken and waffles
    Kenny D.

    HCK has come to Waldorf! There are a LOT of chicken places in the area, but this is a welcome addition. When I entered I noticed that the place was pretty clean, and that's always a plus. It also had decent seating. One disappointing thing was the napkins. Soft? Absolutely not! Think along the lines of wiping your face with loose leaf paper. They can do better! They were also a bit slow too, as it took 25 minutes from the time I entered to the time I was handed my food. So why 4 stars? Because it tastes sooo good. I ordered the chicken and waffles. You can get the sauce on the chicken or on the side. I opted for on the side, which I think was the best choice. The country style chicken was good without sauce. On the side I got the after burner sauce, and it was a nice blend of sweet and spicy. I should note that they also have base, angry hot, and medic sauces. Base is the least spicy, followed by afterburner. I like spicy food and afterburner was good enough for me. Medic seems to me to be name appropriate, because if my level 2 sauce was sufficient I imagine medic is a 4 alarm fire! The waffle was good too, albeit the could have added a bit more powdered sugar. Lately, I tried the fried donut drops. They come with a creamy dipping sauce and it too was quite tasty. So if you have time to burn given their slowness, you should try it. Better yet, get the app and order ahead!

    My first time here at HCK has been pleasant. Alexandria did her thing in the front, Cody the owner made the place home welcoming and Adrian did his thing in the kitchen. Definitely the best place to get great chicken sandwich with flavor. Will definitely be back.

    I think my visit to Hangry Joe's warrants 2.5 stars, but we'll round up to 3…read more I tried a chicken tender combo with fries; I did a dry rub breaded chicken with a couple of sauces on the side. The chicken wasn't nearly as crispy as I would have hoped and it's seasoning fell a little bit flat. The size of the tender was good though, which I appreciate. The sauces we got didn't compliment the tenders very well (maybe we got the wrong ones to go with the dry rub?) The waffle fries were the star of the show - crispy, hot, and exactly what you want out of waffle fries. And my goodness the toast left a lot to be desired; was hoping for much more than a plain piece of untoasted bread at the bottom of the combo box. If I return to Hangry Joe's, I would definitely try something different on the menu. The chicken tender combo I had left alot to be desired.

    I remember going to the Laurel one when it first opened, and I enjoyed the chicken sandwich and…read moreother items I got from there. But I did not have a similar experience with this location in Waldorf. I shared a tender meal with some others one quiet Saturday evening. The tenders were flavored up nicely, but they came with dipping sauces that just really clashed with their dry rub. In my opinion, it should be an option of either or, not both. And the waffle fries had a sweetness to them that I was not expecting. They have waffle fries on their menu too, and it tasted like the batter got mixed up, which was weird. It was a savory, yet subtly sweet experience. And the toast was literally a slice of white bread that had some sauce dripping on it. It was not toasted, and really had nothing going for it. I guess the locations are definitely different in terms of quality, and I will just stick to the ones closer to me.

    My buddy and I recently grabbed breakfast at this First Watch and I realized I hadn't reviewed it…read moreyet. First Watch is a solid, ridiculously popular breakfast spot. Probably a 3.5 but I rounded up because their App is bomb and it gives you live updates on where you are in line. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take advantage of the online wait list, TRUST me!! Farm to table food is always a plus, and that's what make First Watch such a hit. You can taste the freshness. The space they occupy used to be Bob Evans and I'm a fan of Bob Evans and was sad to see it go. First Watche's menu is just okay to me and I always get the same thing, the "Tri-Fecta". It's always good, especially the blueberry pancake, but I'd like to switch things up every now and then.. Oh well.. Lol! So if you're looking for a healthier choice than Cracker Barrel or some of the other popular breakfast restaurants, First Watch is probably the spot for you.. Just get in line online.. You're welcome!! :)

My omelet and potatoes was luke warm. I thought the veggies and meat would be scrambled in the eggs. The cheese was just lumped in the middle of the omelet. My French toast was okay but luke warm. What ever happened to getting hot food. Our server was friendly, so that helped. I do plan to try their lunch food and see if that's okay. But not sure of the hype about this place, maybe you can get breakfast anytime of day.

I overheard another server telling the table next to us that the restaurant was not making mac and cheese until 4pm for dinner- so there would be no Mac and cheese for brunch. The customer was upset- and so were we. We definitely love trying Mac and cheese from different locations- we love cheese!! That was upsetting, especially when you're paying a nice amount of money. It seemed like the rest of the food was in stock so we leaned on that. The omelette station was great! They had a lot of variety and the chef was nice. She spoke to me in Spanish so I spruced up on my skills !! I did need to ask her for a plate because the plates were missing from the buffet and I wasn't sure where to find them. Finally someone from the staff brought plates- so I was in business! They had a hot bar on the wall near the omelette station which included fried chicken, bacon, eggs, potatoes, caramelized bananas, I might be missing something- it was pretty good and they kept it stocked most of the time. Made to order was shrimp and grits (not great or flavorful in my opinion) but the waffles were okay. The staff walked around with different cuts of meat and pineapple and shaved it off for us to try. I enjoyed the pineapple and the chicken wrapped in bacon... I just unwrapped it. I don't eat beef or pork, so yeah. They also had skirt steak and another type of pork. Babe tried all the meat and it looked like he enjoyed it, but he didn't really go back for seconds when they came around again. I thought it was good, but not excellent. I was just looking for something more for the experience. Then gentleman busser did a great job of clearing the plates and glasses to ensure we had space at the table and it looks neat and clean so we could continue to enjoy our food. The cold bar has a LOT of variety! But some of the food looked a little dried out like it's been left up there for a while. I knew it couldn't have been there for too long because brunch had only been open for about two hours prior to us arriving. Maybe pairing foods with the right environment to make them look and taste their best for a Buffet would make it look more appealing (example: the mussels- looked really dry, and I wanted to try them but it didn't look appetizing. Maybe put them in a sauce so they can look more appealing)... they might have tasted good but they looked old so I didn't try them. All the drinks were really good so that is def a win!! We tried the strawberry mimosa and the peach Bellini! Our server Chiquera did a wonderful job! She was super polite and attentive... she is the reason I would return to the restaurant. She also gave great suggestions! She gave me her specialty blueberry mojito - and it was fresh and just delicious! I think if the menu was reworked a bit to give the buffet food a fair chance and actually having what is on the menu available (Mac and cheese).. this place could do even better!

It's the kind of spot that makes you imagine Sunday mornings with your person, the two of you settling into a table sharing life, and growing old together without even noticing time passing. I probably won't make that long drive from the city again, but the good memories tied to this place are ones I'll always keep close. I never had any real issues here, aside from one cold cup of coffee and even that feels small now. The wait staff was always warm and friendly, the kind of people who make a place feel familiar. And that little store inside? Still one of my favorite parts. All the cozy, quirky things you don't need but somehow want anyway. That's the charm. Parking is plentiful, and if you go, take that left when you exit. Trust me, it will make life easy. And well, life should be an easy and pleasant journey as possible. Let's get into it! Grandma's breakfast Always! - Blueberry pancakes and eggs with bacon. My little Sunday ritual. The kind of plate that feels like comfort, memory, and a hug all at once. Let the good you've lived settle into your spirit, acknowledge the past with grace, and never look back. Only taking the good memories with me and this is one! Cheers!

    Decent. Not special. Unlikely to make my regular rotation…read more I drove past this place going back to forth to work and on the outside it looked like a nice establishment. Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time.

My daughter and I went on a Friday evening, and even when they're busy, the atmosphere is always calm and relaxing. The waiters and waitresses are consistently polite, attentive, and make sure we have everything we need. This time, I ordered the steak and shrimp with broccoli, and I had my grilled bourbon shrimp placed over the rice. My steak was cooked exactly how I like it (medium well) and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. The bourbon shrimp had so much flavor and paired really well with the rice. My daughter ordered the half rack of ribs with corn and French fries. When I tell you the ribs here are fall-off-the-bone good, I mean it! They're tender, flavorful, and never disappoint. I didn't order a drink this time, but I've had their drinks before and they are definitely good and for the price, they will have you feeling real nice lol. Overall, Cheddar's will always be a 10/10 for me. Good food, good portions, good service, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely keep coming back!
