You really can't miss The Waffle Roost because you can smell the delicious aroma of the fried chicken and sweet waffles from a mile away! As a food truck, they are always on the go from city to city. But we were lucky enough to catch them at San Francisco's Spark Social! Although so, many people waiting in line, the service was fast and friendly, and the food was hot and ready! Surprised that the chicken was super crispy and perfectly juicy in every bite! I love the texture of the waffle - crispy and buttery on the outside nice and fluffy on the inside. read more

The Waffle Roost - Chicken bites and waffle! - Food Trucks Near Me

The Waffle Roost is a solid spot if you're in the mood for a simple, satisfying chicken and waffle. The waffle had just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering but the chicken was slightly dry, which kept it from being a standout dish, but the overall combination was still enjoyable. read more

This is for the food truck (favorite new addition to the Stern Grove concerts, please keep coming back!) and we're on our third trip for the group in one day. Loved the boneless fried chicken. Love that they have hot sauce. And loved a little too much the sweet waffles (the churro was great, the caramel and salt was amazing) read more

I don't really say the following in my yelp reviews but I am honest-to-God stunned at the almost perfect rating for this food truck. Are we really at a point where people are just so accustomed to average food such that mediocre eateries are terrific to them? I came across this food truck at an Off the Grid event. I actually was excited to try this food truck as the photos on their Yelp page looked good... first mistake. The photos are incredibly outdated as this truck no longer serve mac and cheese nor collard greens, which are two dishes that I enjoy. Even their main fried chicken and waffle menu has gone from about ten items down to five. Nevertheless, I decided to get a fried chicken and waffle sandwich and ordered the Spicy and I Know It. It was honestly the saddest sandwich I have ever seen. The waffle was barely the same quality as what you would get at the continental breakfast served at your local inn. The cheese was sliced processed cheese that you get at Safeway and the fried chicken was worse than what you get at KFC. The cherry on top was that the maple syrup that they gave you with the waffles was a packaged condiment like what you would get at a fast food joint. I am truly shocked at the almost perfect score of this truck. Whether I give a place a perfect or a mediocre rating, I still somewhat understand the overall rating but in the case, I am truly lost. read more

Their truck was outside for a schools open house. I got the waffle sandwich which was really good and the bonesless strips and fries for the kids. They all loved it. Glad we finally got a change to try the food from this truck. The staff was very nice and food came out hot. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and will be on the lookout for their next location! read more

Dry ass chicken that also manages to be greasy with no sauces for the chicken bites. What a scam. Tastes like it came from Costco - just trying to fleece the botanic gardens event goes. read more

Truly a 3.5/5 but rounding up. I got the spicy sandwich with cheese for lunch. It was pretty tasty flavor-wise. But it was very soft and not crunchy or crispy at all. The spice level was not spicy at all either, about a 2/10. However the collard greens were very delicious! The mac and cheese was pretty standard and wasn't bad or good. Overall pretty typical food truck service standards. read more

Got the 2legit: chicken & waffle sandwich, which comes with a side of fries. The buttermilk fried chicken was a bit dry but tasty and not too heavy with the batter. The belgian waffle bun was thin, fluffy, slightly crisp, nothing too special about the flavor, but I liked the syrup that came on the side. The fries were just okay, and unnecessary IMO. Service was quick and easy, and my order was prepared in just a couple minutes during the Los Gatos Symphony in the Park 4th of July event. No condiments or utensils offered or available, but at least they had napkins out front. read more

We had them for a work event! The food truck was giving chill, funny vibes. I mean peep (lol) the chick with sunglasses and a gold chain on the truck. This was a one man show, but he did his thang servicing about 30 of us. We put our order in then came back like 10-15 minutes later and it was good to go. A sandwich and two sides were hellaaaaa filling, but we made sure to make room for dessert! read more

Definitely a great company to have catering. Will continue to do business with Jason in 2026. Thanks for a job well done. The guys appreciated the foods read more

Perfect Saturday brunch of chicken and waffles. I only wish I had a mimosa or bellini to pair with this! :) Ordered the 2 Legit plate. Comes with 1 piece of pounded fried chicken: thigh meat, skinless, and with a nice crisp batter. A waffle, a small side of mac n cheese, and small side of collard greens are all included for $13.75. Good deal and good eating overall, with quick service. I would order from here again. Batter was nice and lightly seasoned. Collard greens were cooked to a soft al dente and contained some tasty/tiny bits of diced ham. Mac and cheese is solid too. read more

The Waffle Roost truck was at our work and was very surprised at how good everything was. Food was ready in no time as there were a couple options, and I got the chicken and waffles. Chicken was perfectly moist, waffle was fluffy and crispy at the same time. The macaroni and cheese was tasty, wish it was a bigger serving! I am not usually a fan of collard greens, but this was so yummy I ate it all! Definitely a fan of this food truck! read more

I work at different companies and they had a food truck event where all the employees were able to choose a food truck and get a meal from them! Well I unfortunately ended work at the tail end of this, but there was The Waffle Roost still available for me to partake. The chicken was crisp and moist. The waffle was sweet to balance the saltiness of the chicken. The fries could've been better to be honest. It wasn't something to hoot or holler about. It was standard. But that boneless chicken waffle totally hit the spot after a great workout. I'd totally try this truck out again for sure! read more

The best food I have EVER had from a food truck. I had their Soultry Poultry at the Bay FC game, I am going to look them up regularly.

Fresh waffles off the pot! The waffles were so fresh! The chocolate syrup was molten on top of the hot waffles, it was unbelievably delicious My colleagues gave 5 stars for the "The spicy & I know it" fried chicken sando (sandwich in between waffles ) Apparently the chicken was so young, fresh & tender plus they were freshly made to order! read more

Friday arrived and my chicken and waffle (catered) came with a single piece of buttermilk fried chicken (thigh with some breast): crisp, well-seasoned and moist on top of a well-constructed (albeit small) waffle next to a pack of (non-maple) syrup. Wish waffle were warm but it was pretty (good) although slightly dense due to age. The accompanied mac and cheese on the other hand was dry, starchy, mostly an afterthought. read more

Fries were cold Chicken was flavorless and the grease tasted overly used. I really tried to taste flavor spices herbs something in the chicken and couldn't. Extremely dissatisfying. The waffle .... The waffle was very thick heavy had a nice cinnamon flavor. $29 for two 2legit meals that should be called 2dissapointing . Definitely not good fried chicken wouldn't eat here again read more

I'd been eyeing up this truck for a few months and never got a chance to check it out. I happened to go to Palo Alto when they had posted about being there, but didn't find them there, and it turned out they had posted incorrectly. The owner (or one of) Justin reached out to me through text, and apologized, and let me know the upcoming week's schedule, and asked me to leave a text whenever I came by next time. I visited Central Park in Santa Clara on the 4th of July just to check them out. I'm glad I did, we had the waffle chicken sandwich (spicy) with fries. It had the right kick of spice (I can tolerate higher space), and the chicken was breaded and cooked amazing, without being too oily as well. Lovely waffle too, pretty big with a hint of sweetness. Came with some syrup on the side, along with fries. I forgot to ask if they could replace fries with Mac and Cheese. I love waffles of any kind (I also had a waffle ice cream taco in a nearby track haha!) I had left Justin a text but the place was really busy, and he was really nice to text me back later and offer me more than a 50% discount for what had happened the previous week :) I really appreciated that and will be back to check them out soon when they are in the area. read more

Waffle Roost delivers straight-up comfort food heaven! Crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and that perfect sweet-and-savory balance. They're one of our favorite choices for events of all kinds. A crowd favorite for sure! read more

First time I had The Waffle Roost was a catered event at work. It was a limited menu (2LEGIT, I'M SPICY AND I KNOW IT, and Strawberries and Cream). Ordered I'M SPICY AND I KNOW IT and it was delicious. When I saw their truck at OTG: Foster City this past summer, I ordered the same thing (none of the other trucks interested me). The waffle and chicken were hot and crispy. The melted cheddar cheese and the hint of heat from the serrano peppers was a nice touch. Came with a side of fries. This is definitely one of the better food trucks at OTG. read more

I tried both the fried chicken with waffle and gluten free grilled chicken. Of course the fried chicken was better but everything was so good! The fried chicken was juicy, hot, flavorful... yum! The grilled chicken was flavorful too but without the fried crunch, it just isn't the same. The waffles were so good! Crispy and thick but soft and fluffy on the inside. It also had a bit of sweetness and it hit the spot! So so delicious and highly recommend! The design on the truck made me laugh too! read more

Chicken and waffles was the one thing I could not recreate during this shelter-in-place, so the cravings hit hard. We saw an ad for The Waffle Roost on Instagram and we were sold. Follow their social media or go to their website to check out their exact times and locations. It's super useful. They also take pre-orders (links found on their IG posts) if you'd rather not wait in line or are in a rush. We opted for pre-ordering, mainly because I wasn't entirely sure if they would take walk-ups. We found The Waffle Roost truck parked at the end of a cul-de-sac in Sunnyvale, and I could already feel my mouth watering as I sniffed the delicious air. Pick-up was so simple and easy. I told them I had an online order, they handed me two boxes filled with chicken and waffle goodness, and we were on our way. 2Legit. Fried chicken, waffle, mac & cheese, collard greens. Can you say Southern comfort food heaven? Because that's what this was. Perfectly crispy chicken on the outside, juicy and savory on the inside. Spicy & I Know It. Chicken & waffle sandwich with cheddar and serrano peppers. Okay, okay. I'm going to admit that I didn't try this because I am a wimp when it comes to spice and the peppers made me afraid, but my fiancé devoured it within minutes. And it sure as hell looked delicious. Oh, and the best part about all of this? BONELESS fried chicken. Y'all, this blew my mind. I was so ready to tear apart into a thigh or drumstick or giant breast piece, but instead, I was given pure meat. No fuss, no bones, just full on goodness for the mouth. 100% amazing. I'll see you soon, Waffle Roost. read more

2Legit with extra chicken is amazing! every now and then, there is a special food truck that you'll go to where the food is just amazing. This is one of them. Although they are rarely in my area, what a treat it is to have the waffle roost! even though I'm a little allergic allergic, I will deal with the consequences of my issue with gluttony. I really love chicken and waffles there's something about a really crispy, briny piece of fried chicken with the chicken skin being dipped in hot sauce, and a fluffy on the inside with the crisp outer layer of the waffle with a sweet layer of maple syrup - oh my!! It's love! read more

For 9 years now, I have been a fan of Waffle Roost. As a reviewer, I feel like I have responsibility to convince others to spend their money if they are not sure if a place or menu item is worth it. Food trucks nowadays are typically niche in ways and at least for the last decade or so, have redefined casual dining. Their mobility is both an asset as well as a weakness.. but while some fancy food trucks have come and gone over the last decade or so.. Waffle Roost has held on strong and has continued operations to the present day. Needless to say, their menu and food they provide has been nothing but great. A simple, yet delicious concept to bring Chicken and Waffles into a item that's easily consumed while providing restaurant quality food out of a food truck. While many might scoff at the prices they might charge and people might turn away from it... I just have to say, every time I see Waffle Roost.. no doubt I will likely be in line to get some of their food. To me, those prices are worth the cost.. Prices do not always have to reflect on the quantity of food you receive.. as quality plays a big factor as well... and all this time so far, I have not been disappointed in their food for these many years. read more

I had a chance to try Waffle Roost at the pub in the park event in Redwood City and it was amazing! I had the The stack which came with chicken, bacon, egg, and honey on a waffles.

Definitely worth a try read more

There was a Carnival at my daughter's school and they were one of the featured food trucks. We decided to give them a try and boy I was surprised! Our order came with 2 chicken thighs and fries. Their chicken was extremely moist and the batter was not too thick so the chicken to batter ratio was perfect. The seasoning is very flavorful. The fries had the perfect crispness and seasoned well. Overall, the seasoning and execution of the chicken and fries were spot on. The meal was able to feed both my daughter and I. We will definitely get their food again! read more

Went to the food trucks at Foster City and came across The Waffle Roost. I ordered two fried chicken with Mac and cheese. I replaced my veggie with more Mac and cheese and the gentleman was very nice about it and the customer service was impeccable. The food was very good! The chicken was tender and not too greasy which I liked and the Mac and cheese was super delicious!! I would definitely go back and check out the restaurant next time instead of going to their food truck. read more

We have had rotating food truck Thursdays at work, but today was by far the best! We have 30 minute lunches and they allowed us to order ahead which was super helpful. I ordered the spicy sandwich. The chicken was juicy and crispy. The waffle is sliced in half so the sandwich isn't too bready or hard to eat. All around delish! Thanks for lunch Waffle Roost! read more

Last month I went to their food truck and had chicken w/(churro) waffle and fries. I love that they accommodated my request to have an upgrade from a regular waffle to a churro for my order! The waffle was great and the chicken and fries were good. I wish the chicken was cooked slightly longer so that the chicken was more on the crispy drier side. read more

The Waffle Roost - Chicken w/waffle and fries - Food Trucks Near Me

I recently had the "I'm Spicy and I Know It" at Off the Grid: Presidio Picnic. This sandwich is a spicy chicken breast, onions, peppers, and crispy fried cheese inside a halved waffle. The sandwich looked amazing when I peeked in the (compostable) container, and the first bite was heaven. The chicken was moist, hot, and perfectly done; the waffle was nicely brown and just sweet enough. A little container of syrup was included, and I grabbed some hot sauce (Frank's) from the condiment bar just in case. As I continued eating, the shine wore off a bit. The peppers and onions were so skimpy I had to look for them. The chicken wasn't very spicy at all and I was glad for the extra hot sauce. The halved waffle kind of fell apart; using a waffle for each side of the sandwich would be better. The whole thing would have benefited tremendously from a dill pickle or two. These changes are all minor, attainable, and for an $11 sandwich not at all unreasonable to ask for. I still really liked my sandwich, and the price point was pretty good for Off the Grid. (Remember, it's first world, Bay Area street food!) I'd say it's one of the best trucks that was there that day. Still, next time I'll probably look for something that's both exciting at the beginning of the meal, and satisfying at the end. read more

The Waffle Roost is a Food Truck hailing from Sunnyvale. While at the Taylor Street Night + Market in San Jose, this truck caught my eye. After making a round checking out all of the trucks, I returned to this one. I had a craving for Chicken and Waffles, so naturally, I chose the 2Legit -- 1 Piece Fried Chicken, Waffle, Mac & Cheese, and Collard Greens. The staff were friendly and attentive as I placed my order. Within minutes, my food was ready -- tasty and delicious. If I see them again, I would not hesitate in placing another order. read more
