We got the chicken and waffles which was delightful. The waffle has a great flavor and texture and the chicken was crispy with a peppery breading that had the perfect amount of salt. The mozzarella, tomato, basil sandwich was fresh and satisfying. We loved the waffle fries too! The iced Chai latte was perfect and the vanilla milkshake was not too sweet. We loved the mixed mason jars that the drinks were served in. The atmosphere is funky and chill with cool artwork that can be purchased.

A group of 7 of us met on a Friday morning. Found paid but easy parking nearby and ordered with no wait. Our party had the strawberry and banana, jive turkey, the appeal corn dog waffle for my kids and I got the florentine. I asked for a side of salsa which they didn’t have but instead offered what they use for the topping of the falafel waffle. I think there was a miscommunication in my favor because instead of a little cup of chopped peppers and cucumbers for my waffle I basically got a nice and fresh side salad. All was delicious and I cannot forget to mention the Nutella latte. Go here! You will be full and satisfied.

This was a great little breakfast. We were passing through a stopped for the pulled pork bbq waffle. It was indeed savory and flavorful. The scrambled eggs were not good. Blueberry pancakes were alright too. The vibe there was nice with some 70s/80s soul and funk music playing. The staff were kind and reasonable. I would come back again. Nutella latte was very good.

Featured on an episode of triple D, this place has quite the selection of waffle creations you probably won't find anywhere else. There were over a dozen options for "savory" waffles like chicken Parm and pulled pork, and a similar number of "sweet" waffles. If you're not feeling in a waffle mood, other options are also available. This place was beautifully quiet when we stopped by at 4 pm on a summer Friday afternoon as we passed through town, but given the vibe and the extensive music options on the website, it looked like it would be hopping in a few hours. Plan accordingly. Order at the counter and they'll give you a buzzer. And every table has a bottle of syrup just like a breakfast restaurant, because what's a waffle without any syrup? Even if it already is covered in pulled pork and dinosaur barbecue sauce (FYI I did not do both).

I am vegan, and despite not being a vegan place, they had great and delicious items. I had the Aunt Miriam's Vegan Waffle, and the Vegan Bootsy Brunch. They were amazing. The best waffle in north America. I highly recommend, specially the Vegan Bootsy Brunch. The best. I ate there every day of my vacation to Syracuse.

Great local place!! We sampled a few different half waffle plates for breakfast and loved the different flavors. The savory waffles especially had a bunch of really cool varieties. Visiting from NJ but if we're ever back in the area we'd 100% come again!

TL;DR Always amazing. Go! I’ve been here many times and the vibes and the food NEVER disappoint! Whether you want sweet or savory, a drink from the bar, or an apple pie milkshake, they’ve got it. (You can even get milkshakes with booze.) There’s almost always something happening musically as well, and as the spouse of a working musician, I really appreciate the support of the local music scene. A Syracuse and CNY institution, definitely go!

Although I am not a big waffle fan, I wanted to give this place a try. My waffle was stuffed with cheese and potatoes and I wasn’t very excited about it. I would go back to try a sweet waffle! I do have to say my White Mocha was absolutely delicious and I gave mi compliments to the gentleman who prepared it. Music was a little loud for my taste, but probably someone else was enjoying it…

Great place and atmosphere. The place was very busy. You wait in line to order and then find a table to sit. You're given a buzzer to let you know when to pick up your drinks, and then it buzzes again when your food is ready to be picked up. It took around 30 minutes in line to order and a little more than that to get our food. But, it was all worth the wait when we started eating. My daughter tried every dish and loved them all. Very highly recommended!!

Well seasoned chicken and waffles. Nice atmosphere to the place with very good artwork on the walls. Also a VERY pleasant staff. I would recommend coming here to anyone.

Food - outstanding. When coming here know this: paid parking across the street is nearly $13 - if for 8 hrs, there is no less. You can park on the street if you can find some. When going in there are several doors. For music go to the left door. For food go to the right door. You will find a cozy environment with lots of jazzy colors. Plain tables and menus. Their website is up to date and very clean. Inside the restaurant, you will not see the same. It's down home. The cashier takes your order, you seat yourself, and you get a buzzer to let you know to come get your food. Water seems like it's tap water from a lemonade type despenser. It does what you need. There is no ice in it. Again, you serve yourself. The waffles come in two sizes, half and full. Prices are between 7 and 13$ - if I recall properly. I am adding photos of the menu here with current prices as of Aug 24th, 2025. Loved the food. Got waffle fries and chicken tenders. They were delicious. Also got fried chicken and half waffle, and a Gouda cheese and herbs half waffle. Both were very good. But! If I must say, when seeing everyone get the waffles with fruits, I could help to think that was what I should have ordered. It looked amazing. The music from the other side was too overpowering and downright amateur, cotton balls, headphones, hearing protection inserts or anything like that would make it more pleasant. It was not good. It is what it is. Come for the food though! It was quite delicious. It was a part of the diners dives and restaurants series with Guy F.

Love this place BUT, yesterday I pulled an open staple out of my mouth while eating a waffle. I gave it to the cashier and told them what happened, and they didn't seem to care much beyond an "oh, I'm sorry", and that was the end of it. I'm just glad it was me and not our niece or nephew, who were there with us. We'll definitely return for their good food, but it will take a minute to forget about the thought of almost swallowing a staple.

Novelity joint. Good food. Rather expensive but quality is high. Very very busy during breakfast. The chicken wings were hot and fresh. They were seasoned and breaded, not my favorite type of wings…

Came here for chicken and waffles, left with regrets. The fried chicken was way too salty and the waffle had a chewy consistency you only get from a bulk mix. Also ordered a fried egg over medium and I’ve had hard boiled eggs that weren’t cooked as hard. We were literally the only customers and I couldn’t even get an egg cooked properly. Looks like a nice venue for music but I can’t recommend it for the food. To add insult to injury you’re asked to tip out when you have to order at the counter, pick up your own food, and bus your own table. The bathroom graffiti is spot on in this establishment.

I ordered the Boosty Brunch (half) from Funk ’n Waffles through Uber Eats, and unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. For $14.99, the portion size was surprisingly small — more like a snack than a meal. While the sandwich itself was decent, with the waffle, egg, and cheese combination, it lacked the creativity and substance I expected at this price point. The value just wasn’t there, and I left feeling disappointed.

Just had the banana bread waffle and it was SUPER MID.... Never knew someone could make a waffle so hard. Insane amount of sugar too, not to mention $14.52 for a waffle is overpriced ASF.. Definite…
