Home of Chicken and Waffles in Walnut Creek CA

The second night in Walnut Creek, we (15 varsity girls basketball players, 4 coaches and a bunch of family members) decided to go see a movie after our game. Online we found the closest theater was less than five minutes away. It turned out, this was the high-end retail neighborhood that my friend in LA alluded to when he said that Walnut Creek is like the Bel Air of San Francisco. Well, I don't know about that but the movie theater looked like any multi-theater complex we have in LA but something happened when we tried to eat at the Cheesecake Factory after the movie. There were about 25 of us, which is huge, I know, but we got the cold shoulder from the host there. She said the manager would have to come and talk to us. We waited and about ten minutes later she came. Basically, we would have to wait an hour till we got seated, even if we were broken up to various tables. The restaurant was 1/2 full. There were a lot of empty tables on that Tuesday night. We got the message. I suspect we were a little to Rainbow Coalition for them. Ironically, our head coach had eyed a chicken and waffle place down the street. So, we all walked over and low and behold, we were seated with no problem. Several of us found it suspect at first due to our Roscoe's loyalty but this place turned out to be pretty tasty. Home of Chicken and Waffles is located at 1635 Mount Diablo Blvd. Walnut Creek CA 94596, 925-280-1653.
