chicken and waffles day 2023

Celebrate Chicken & Waffle Day on August 8th

We can’t think of anything more holiday-worthy than our signature Fried Chicken & Waffle dish — so we made it an official national holiday! This Metro Diner fan-favorite piles half a savory fried chicken beside a sweet strawberry butter-topped Belgian waffle, drizzled with our signature spicy sauce.
