Whether it’s breakfast, brunch (What wine goes well with brunch?) or supper, a well-crafted plate of Chicken & Waffles can lift your mood in an instant. San Antonio’s got some great places you can gravitate towards when the Chicken & Waffle urge strikes. Whether it’s traditional southern-style or an interesting twist on the classic favorite, there’s a restaurant here that will soothe those hunger pangs.

Whiskey Cake

This restaurant might be famous for its Whiskey Cake but it also serves up Chicken & Waffles all day. Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner, the classic meal comes with locally-sourced eggs, maple syrup (how long does maple syrup last?) and the house sausage gravy. As an added bonus, the waffles are made with mesquite flour (how long does flour last?), which is rich in nutrients, minerals, protein, is gluten-free, and has triple the fiber of regular flour. The airy waffle is more on the savory side of the scale than on the sweet. The tender, moist chicken is lightly breaded in the flour and crisped.

Whiskey Cake operates a true farm-to-table kitchen using local ingredients in their dishes. They slow cook all their meals for added flavor and nourishment. No microwave - ever!
