Whether you want Southern-inspired chicken and waffles or Belgian style, a traditional favorite, there are plenty of restaurants around New Orleans serving up different options.

Waffles on Maple

As the name suggests, Waffles on Maple is a great place to find a variety of delicious waffles.

And good news for anyone with gluten sensitivities — most of their products are gluten free.

Biscuits & Buns on Banks

Though the name may focus on other treats, Biscuits & Buns on Banks is also known for serving up some amazing waffles. This brunch favorite is dedicated to offering the highest quality products using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. For something a little different, try the wafflewich, a pressed waffle with your choice of meat and cheese, topped with eggs.
