The Waffle Roost started in the summer of 2012. The owner, Justin, wanted to create the best version of the amazing sweet and savory combo that is fried chicken and waffles. He bought and renovated the first truck in his driveway, and hit the road shortly after. After 11 successful years, The Waffle Roost is still a Chicago fan favorite for chicken and waffles. Try the favorite – “Spicy & I Know It”!
