Steven Murray (aka "Cheeks") was so determined to find the best fried chicken that, in 2014, he traversed the entire country looking for fare worthy of the title. The only problem was that he never found it. Every eatery he encountered did something at least a little wrong with its chicken, maybe breading it too heavily or perhaps starting with frozen wings. So Cheeks decided to remedy the situation himself, and he opened Cheek's Chicken and Waffles less than two miles from Broadleaf Boulevard.
The menu is relatively simple, starting with breakfast sammies filled with eggs and cheese, plus sausage or bacon, if you like. But the most important part of the menu is the "waffles" section, which contains a slew of toppings for your waffles, from simple powdered sugar and syrup to Nutella to the popular honey butter. Order your waffle with three crispy wings for the full Cheek's experience.
