Competition Quality-meat came easily off the bone but didn't fall off the bone. I had 2 slices of brisket and we shared Hush Puppies and their Mac and Cheese. Driving up you see the smoke from the smoking pit and you know from the smell, you made a good choice. Nothing fancy here- inside eating is very casual. They do a high volume of to go orders. This is a family run business and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They seem very organized and gave a system in place for the pick up business that seemed to work well for them. The owners (I believe husband/wife) both came out and checked on us. We spoke for a little bit with each one. We felt welcomed and appreciated. OMG! I would've loved to share a slice of one of those triple layer cakes. Slices were extra generous but we were already taking home some brisket and Mac &Cheese. We will definitely come here again if we have to return for more tests

We ordered two shrimp po' boys with fries, banana pudding and a blue razz lemonade. SLAPPIN' (highly good to the 100th power) The service was impeccable! The lady taking my order was very helpful and even gave me a menu so next time I know exactly what to order! The waiting area was clean and even had a big screen to watch while you wait for your order. Unfortunately, it isn't big enough inside to eat but sh!t, with food this mouth watering, you may just want to go home and get naked and enjoy this delicious food! Sorry folks! The food was so good I didn't get the chance to snap pics

We stopped in for lunch and let me tell you... those collard greens are something special. Packed with flavor and the perfect side to make you feel like you're sitting at grandma's table. Now let's talk about the Chicken & Waffles -- hot, fresh, and made with love. The waffle had the most delicious vanilla flavor that reminded me of a funnel cake, with that perfect balance of fluffy inside and crispy edges. Paired with that crispy chicken, it was the kind of comfort food combo that just hits the spot. Come hungry because this is the kind of meal that reminds you why soul food has a way of bringing people together. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the AC was out that day and I can say it was pretty warm inside. But the service was great and our server was so sweet and a true trooper!

I've been to Kiki's Chicken & Waffles on Parkland Road several times for breakfast and lunch,…read moreunfortunately, this most recent visit was disappointing--not only because of the food, but also because of the customer service. When a customer walks into your restaurant, they should be greeted and acknowledged. I stood there for a few minutes before anyone acknowledged me, and the first thing I was asked was whether I had placed an online order. The restaurant was not full at the time, so I found that experience disappointing. A simple "Welcome in, we'll be with you shortly" would have made a big difference. I ordered Kiki's Soul Food Plate with four chicken wings, string beans, sweet potato soufflé, and a muffin, along with a side of collard greens. The chicken wings were fried to a good consistency, but once I bit into them, the chicken was extremely dry--much drier than I expected. The string beans and collard greens were okay, but honestly, neither was anything special. The sweet potato soufflé was another surprise. When I took a bite, I tasted what seemed to be a clove, and I actually had to spit it out. That was definitely not what I expected when ordering sweet potato soufflé I am not a big fan of cloves. The muffin was probably the best part of the meal. It was hot, edible, and had more of a cake-like texture, which I actually enjoyed. I'm not someone who judges a restaurant based on one visit, especially since I've eaten at Kiki's several times before. But this particular visit just didn't live up to my previous experiences. The food and the service both missed the mark this time. I hope this was simply an off day because I would like to see Kiki's do better.

All authentic Southern home cooking.
