Gussie's Chicken & Waffles

Tea Time Update: If you're looking for Gussie's check them out in the East Bay now. All the good stuff is moving to Oakland.

Let's talk about this picturesque lunch at Gussie's Chicken and Waffles when it was still in the Fillmore, off Eddy St.

We scored this feast for a very discounted price. Angela had a 'takeout' coupon, $5 for $10 worth of food from Living Social and JK had a Scoutmob deal which gave us 50% off the total for the rest. All in all our check would have been $30 for this assortment of choice eats, but we only paid $16ish (plus tip on the original total). Our waiter was very accommodating and had no issues with us eating in for the entirety of the meal, which was much easier than half of it going home as "take out." Other patrons were happily eating around us, either ordering from the menu or picking up plates from their lunch buffet.

Our appetizer:

A HUGE portion of fried okra with roasted red pepper dipping sauce. Crunchy and perfectly cooked.

Chicken breast strips with Waffle Fries. Waffle Waffle Waffle. Don't be on the fence about these guys, dip 'em in ranch or bbq sauce and inhale them! Angela's fave part of the meal. Yummy.

 Got to have our greens! Salad that is...with balsamic dressing on the side.

Sweet potato waffles drowned in syrup and butter? Why thank you. Their texture was more soft like pancakes, not crispy like a belgian waffle, but the slight sweetness from the potatoes made it a-ok in our book.

Can't go to a chicken waffle place without making a chick/waffle sammich. So good! Our waiter is obviously not used to bloggers, the look of confusion that came with our refilled water glasses as we took this picture was priceless itself.

We were both Stuffed by the end of this smorgasbord meal. Check out Gussies the next time you're in the Fillmore. You won't be disappointed! Chicken and Waffle restos are popping up everywhere in SF. Are they taking over your neighborhoods and towns as well?
