The Original is old school in decor and old school progressive in food.

Chicken and Waffles. I bit into a jalapeno early on and the heat remained with me the entire meal. As I write this, I'm not certain if the jalapeno added or detracted from the meal.  A traditional waffle would have done nicely because the chicken confit makes for the finest chicken and waffle combination I have had to date. I'm not enamored with chicken and waffles having started off with a Philadelphia version that seemed wrong. Here at The Original, the crispy skinned chicken with a soaked to the bone flavorful moist meat hit on all cylinders.

Food: ★★★
Service: ★★3/4
