Mrs. Bea's Louisian Chicken and Waffles

Located on Imperial and Harbor, Mrs. Bea's Louisiana Chicken and Waffles is definitely a must visit. With its southern style interior setting, the restaurant creates a real vibrant mood for customers. Being relatively new in town, and supposedly having a better chicken and waffle recipe than that of the infamous Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, my interest in visiting this place was really sparked.






 
Even though the menu is not as extensive as most places, each item is hand prepared and made to order. The quality of the food prepared compensates for the time you wait for your food to be made and served to you. I came with a large group during my visit here so it was a lot of food shared and almost the whole menu was able to be tasted. The fried chicken was definitely top notch. Their special seasoning really set them apart from other fried chicken competitors. The cinnamon waffles, even though I was expecting something, were still good, but I believe could be better. The best part of everything were the side orders. From the savory greens to the mac and cheese, it made you want to order more and just have that as the main course.




 Here is a review Mrs. Bea's has gotten from Yelp!

Honestly wanted to rate this 3 stars but in all fairness their menu isn't finalized yet, ordered the chicken strips/waffles spinach dip and chips, and gumbo.
Gumbo was better than average, the sausage they used tonight is too salty (they said they'd bring it up) hopefully they find a better solution, the chicken wasn't the best wasn't the worst, the spinach dip and  chips were better than average, but the Mac and cheese is by far the best Ive ever had, which since I usually prefer to make it from scratch so I can up the cheesyness, says a lot. Next time maybe just gumbo and Mac and cheese or just Mac and cheese.

If they put better seating in, meaning padded booths, dimmed the lighting a bit and added better ventilation in the dining area, it'd be 4 stars easily.

Definitely worth a try, prices are a bit steep, for basic creole/cajun  food, but then again it's not just cayenne pepper flavored.
