So me and 2ic heard bout this place. And she wanted to go. And the hype about this place was not wrong. The place was very clean. The waitress was very nice and helpful. It was our first time going. The waitress reccomend led some items and she was not wrong. Everything we ordered was on point. The chicken was what they said it was. The waffles was delicious. The shrimp to die for. We cant wait to go back and try something different on the menu. Definitely recommend this place if you like soul food. And breakfast food

Britney took great care of us and was kind and made great suggestions from the menu. The chicken was crispy and the sweet potato waffle was so yum! It was like sweet potato pie if you could get it crispy. This is my third time eating here and it hasn't disappointed yet. We will be back!

My experience was amazing! This was my first time dining at Kiki's and i was pleased. The food was so good and everything was really fresh. My friend and I walked in and were seated immediately. We had a great waitress that provided great insight regarding the menu. We didn't have to wait long for our appetizers or entrees. I will definitely patronize again!

We finally got to stop here for dinner. Although famous for their delicious Chicken and Waffles, try the fried Pork Chops with Mashed Potatoes and gravy. Don't forget those tasty collards. My wife had the Grilled Chicken Salad. Excellent service!

I was the only customer in there at the time . I came on a Wednesday at about 5pm. Got a blueberry sangria with Catfish platter. Fish was fried well, Mac and cheese was good. Cabbage was great! Cornbread was juicy and soft. I plan to return.

OMFG .....that's all I can freaking say!!! I had the fish and grits and ordered a half of Belgian waffle on the side. Y'all when I say the grits were good and the fish..... honey the fish was fried so good and had the best flavor. My home girl had the fried chicken, okra, and Mac and cheese. I tried a bite of the Mac and I was immediately like okay somebody know what they doing in that kitchen. We both agreed that our meal slapped. This is a straight 10 out of 10. Oh yeah and our server Brick, he was so nice, personable, and funny. I had questions about the menu and he was very helpful with suggestions and recommendations

Me and my sisters love coming here and the food is always great when we do. We ordered the red velvet waffle with the wings and that waffle is a 10/10 every time!! The chicken was crispy and juicy and huge - portion sizes are great. I’d recommend to get there early for faster wait times and attentive service.

I enjoyed every bite. Chicken was well seasoned and taste like it was cooked at home in a cast iron skillet. The service was great from the girl who seated us to our server. The food was fast, delicious . Thanks chef. Most of all the atmosphere was clean with smooth r&b playing in the background.
