One of my Birmingham, Alabama’s treasures and eateries to enjoy serving up some of the best Fried Chicken & Waffles!
If you live in the Birmingham area, in town for a race weekend (racecation), or traveling through the city, you must make your way to Yo’ Mama’s restaurant downtown! I kept seeing photos of various dishes from Yo’ Mama’s float through my newsfeed and I knew I had to make my way there soon! When I dine at a new restaurant, I always order something that I know I would like. One of my favorite menu items (if offered) is chicken and waffles. When I found out they were on Yo’ Mama’s menu, I was sold!
Yo’ Mama’s exceeded my expectations! My food was truly made with lots of love! My extra-crispy chicken shared the space with a perfectly golden, waffle. I added fruit which went well with their “top secret” syrup. They syrup is house-made and delicately sweet. Some may opt for fruit-only, but this Condiment Queen had to taste Mama’s house-made deliciousness! My HB and I were trying to guess the ingredients, because the flavor was like no other! Also, if you want to add a little excitement to your crispy chicken wings, make sure you ask for Yo’ Mama’s “made-from-scratch” wing sauce (on the side)…You’ll thank me later! For the gluten-free lovers, Yo’ Mama’s offers a variety of options for you too!
Birmingham has truly grown into a Food Mecca and the list of eateries just keeps growing! Don’t believe me? Check out my recap of Eat Drink Birmingham here! I’m so glad I no longer have to travel to Atlanta or Los Angeles to get a delicious order of chicken and waffles. I can’t wait until my next visit…I hear the Shrimp & Grits are DIVINE! Next time I go, I must get one of Yo’ Mama’s freshly made desserts too! Doesn’t Mama’s Peach Cobbler made with farm-fresh peaches just sound amazing?! I know for sure this would make a great place to dine during a race weekend! *hint hint*

Have you tried Yo’ Mama’s restaurant? What’s your favorite menu item?
I’m mad right now. I’ve been to B’ham many times and this gem was there and I didn’t know. I will have to check them out. TFS
Well that’s what I’m here for! Lol Hopefully you can make it next time you’re here. We have SO MANY new restaurants! You may need to start a pin board! :)
This looks delish. Now I want some chicken n waffles!
LOL! Thank you, Bobbie! This food is awesome! You must try it when you come to Birmingham!
I have been wanting to head over there for the longest time and have never had the chance to go. I wish they were open after work for dinner or something! I have never had chicken and waffles but it looks divine!
Chicken and waffles is THE.BEST.EVER! Check their website because they are open for special events. Better yet, sign up for their email list so you can can up-to-date info on special events, menu items, brunch…the works!
Although I’ve never tried the chicken and waffle’s combo, I keep seeing it at restaurants! I’ve got to try it, just must. I’d be interested to know if the shrimp and grits are good too, that’s one of my favorites.
Shrimp and grits are another favorite of mine too! Chicken and waffles are amazing together!
Oh that plate of food! Looks like it could feed a small army!
LOL! Yes! I packed it up and ate the other half for dinner! So good!
I’ve often wondered how waffles and fried chicken were paired together. It’s big now in the South. This looks wonderful and sounds like a great place in Birmingham.
Yes, big thanks to the West Coast! Thank you, Leigh!
I haven’t had chicken and waffles in forever! That looks amazing! I will have to try Yo Mama’s next time I’m up there!
Thanks, Logan!
Let me hit up mapquest to see how long the drive will be because that dish will make me drive in a day. I must try it
Haha! Yes, Kita!!! It is soooo good! Seriously, when we went, every single person ordered the chicken and waffles. Just that good!
The name of the restaurant alone had me. Then I saw that gorgeous picture of my favorite, fried chicken. Now that they paired it with waffles and fruit, this is my kind of meal. (minus the calories of course). :)
Yes! Can we just have it all minus of the calories!?!? Thank you!
NEED some chicken and waffles now
YES! YES! YES!
First off, yaaaassss! That plate looks good, Artney! I’ll definitely say “yo mama” for that lol =)
LOL!!! Girl, that food will make ya! haha!
My mama would never make such a feast so I need to get my booty to YO MAMA’s! ;)
