Hills Chicken and Waffles

Hills Chicken and Waffles serves Southern soul food and comfort food from a location on South Ridgewood Avenue in Edgewater, specializing in the classic pairing that gives the restaurant its name, fried chicken served alongside waffles, a combination with deep roots in Southern and soul food cooking traditions. The restaurant has built a strong early reputation, earning a notably high rating from the small number of reviews it has accumulated so far as a newer addition to Edgewater’s restaurant scene.

The restaurant keeps a schedule built around brunch and early dinner hours, open from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, a shorter Saturday schedule from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and an even shorter Sunday window from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., while staying closed entirely on Mondays. That schedule suggests a kitchen built around breakfast, brunch, and early dinner service rather than trying to cover a full evening dinner rush, a common approach for restaurants specializing in chicken and waffles, a dish traditionally associated with brunch as much as dinner.

Reviewers describe portions and pricing in the moderate range for a full meal, consistent with a casual, counter or table service restaurant rather than a fine dining concept. As one of the newer names to appear in Edgewater’s restaurant directories, Hills Chicken and Waffles adds another specialty comfort food option to a city that already includes several barbecue and Southern style restaurants, distinguishing itself specifically through its chicken and waffles focus rather than competing directly on general Southern cooking.

Address records for Hills Chicken and Waffles show some inconsistency across sources regarding the exact suite number and street designation on South Ridgewood Avenue, so anyone visiting for the first time may want to call ahead to confirm the precise location before arriving, particularly since multiple restaurants operate along this same general stretch of the street. For Edgewater residents and visitors with a taste for the chicken and waffles combination, this restaurant represents one of the newest and most specifically focused additions to the city’s growing restaurant scene, having already built a strong initial reputation among its early customers.

As one of the newest names in this directory, Hills Chicken and Waffles will likely become easier to verify in detail as it accumulates a longer public track record, but its early reviews and specific brunch focused hours already suggest a restaurant carving out its own identity distinct from Edgewater’s older, more general Southern cooking establishments.
