Hill’s Chicken and Waffle — Restaurant in Edgewater

It was time for dinner on a Friday night and my adult children and I were craving some comfort food. I'd read a lot of good things about this place, and heard that they had some of the best fried chicken and oxtails in the area, so we drove the 30+ miles to check it out and we were NOT at all disappointed. The location is in a humble strip mall in Edgewater, Florida. A place that you would drive by a thousand times and never know of the little gem that sits within. We were directed to sit wherever we wanted by a server who almost immediately brought us menus and took our drink orders. Now I'm not usually big on sweet tea, but when I'm about to tuck into some southern comfort food, I always check it out if it's offered. The tea was properly brewed, ice cold and perfectly sweet! As we perused the menu, it became obvious that coming on Friday was a good call as they only serve certain dishes on the weekend...and who doesn't want cornbread dressing and black eyed peas any time they're available?? As we sat and enjoyed our drinks, we noticed that the other patrons were very happy with their food and that the vibe was very laid-back...comfortable...almost like eating at home. When it came time to order, Kid #1 and I ordered the Chicken & Waffle with 3 wings, then ordered an extra thigh on the side. I got the black eyed peas and cornbread dressing for my sides, he did the black eyed peas and collard greens. Kid #2 ordered the Chicken & Waffle Sliders with the baked mac & cheese as their side. Now, not only do you get to choose your main and sides at this point, but another decision is placed before you that will definitely have an impact on your meal...and that's what kind of waffle you want with your food. From Plain to Pecan, from Sweet Potato to Red Velvet, the selection wasn't made easy, but I went with Plain for my first visit. After placing our orders, one of the owners came by to ask us if it was, indeed, our first visit. When we told him that it was, he smiled and said "It won't be your last!"...he wasn't wrong! Very soon, our server brought our plates to the table and the first thing that struck me was the size of the wings! These were whole chicken wings, fried to the perfect golden color and steaming hot! The thigh was boneless and similarly fried to perfection as were the breasts inside the Kid's sliders. Everyone got into trying their sides, which we passed around so that everyone could taste everything. That cornbread dressing was divine! Just a bit sweet and incredibly delicious! The Kid's collard greens were exceptional, with just enough of the pot liquor (IYKYK) to keep them juicy, and Kid #2's mac & cheese was really good. The waffles were absolutely delicious...light, fluffy, a little crispy with just the right amount of sweetness. But let's talk about that chicken! Folks, thanks to the US military, I have had the very good fortune to eat around the world, and I've had fried chicken all over the place! From Willie Mae's in NOLA to Stroud's in KCMO to Gus's in the ATL...and this right here was some of the best EVER! The pieces were hot, juicy, crispy and SO delicious! It got really quiet around our table as we got into the serious business of eating this incredible food! When the owner came back by to check on us, we couldn't tell him enough how much we were enjoying our experience. And as our dinner continued, it became obvious that we would be taking some of this food home as we were unable to eat everything in that seating! Alas, as with all good things, our dinner came to an end, and as we prepared to leave, we assured the server and the owners that we will definitely return. As our family likes to travel to eat, upon occasion we stumble across a place that's really special. Not just a place to eat, but a place to connect with those who truly love and respect the food that they serve. Hill's Chicken and Waffles is one of those places. If you've not tried them, what are you waiting for?? We'll see you...

My husband and I visited on a Sunday around 12. We were super excited by the menu and were looking forward to supporting a family owned establishment. Hills Chicken and Waffles is a quaint, welcoming location. We loved that they had photos of their family throughout the restaurant. I tried the strawberry cucumber mint lemonade and it was delicious! Nice and refreshing without being too sweet. For food, I got the fried pork chop with grits and French fries. My pork chop was juicy and flavorful. The grits were also delicious. The fries were seasoned well. My husband got the chicken and waffles. His chicken was also juicy and flavorful. The waffles were very good too. They weren’t too sweet, with the syrup and butter they were perfect. They also paired well with the meat. In addition to the food listed above we tried the Mac and cheese, the collard greens, and the sweet yams. All 3 sides were homemade and delicious as well. They came with a cornbread waffle. It was a more savory waffle and I preferred it to the regular waffles. Wouldn’t change anything about the sides. You could tell it was all homemade-not out of a can. Although that takes more work from the kitchen-it is appreciated and noticed. The service was very kind. They even let us try a sample of the oxtail which we will definitely be back for. It was tender and full of flavor. We really enjoyed our meals and will be back...

Best home made style food in the area. Period.

This restaurant is family owned. The cooks, servers and all the employees are part of the family, and they make sure you feel like home too!

The waitress Nia was so sweet and helpful, the tables are really clean, she was updating us constantly about the times for the order we made.

The chicken is incredible! So juicy and crispy, and Im going to tell you something…. This people know how to SEASON THEIR FOOD! So flavorful!

The pork chop is bigger than the chicken pieces, and same thing, delicious, fresh, juicy, crispy! Just perfect!

We also got the collar greens, and Mac and cheese, both were good!

The waffles are fluffy and sweet. So yummy!

Please try their sweet tea, it’s delicious!

I wish the waffles and chicken meal was maybe more chicken and less waffles lol but thats because Im obsessed with their chicken.

My boyfriend is in a wheelchair and the restaurant is good for him to enjoy! The owner told him he would consider building a ramp to make it even more wheelchair accesible!

Sweet people, in a casual cute restaurant who cook amazing!

We will definitely come again, probably more than once...
