My son and I ate there in July and we loved it! This is my spot every time I come down from NYC...I will be in Raleigh this weekend and guess where I'm going right from the airport??? THERE!
I frequently eat at Mr. Wonderful's and absolutely love the food. Being a southern girl I know good food. So I highly recommend that you try it out. The chicken and waffles are yummy! When you walk in you immediately get that at home feeling.@missmasheka
Bacon stuffed waffles. Need I say more? Fantastic!!! The iced tea was too lemony but the chicken was really really good. I will definitely be back.
Mr. Wonderful's is amazing!!! I had 4 wings on top of one of their waffles and it was fantastic! The wings were perfectly fried and slightly seasoned and went well with maple syrup I poured all over the plate. I washed it all down with koolaid and finished with their banana pudding.
I love Mr.Wonderfuls Chicken & Waffles. Went there on last Night Had the catfish & collard greens! All i can say both were excellent the catfish was golden brown and seasoned to perfection the greens were excellent! I cant wait to go back and try a loaded potatoe and there tender brisket!
The name says it all, absolutely WONDERFUL! Food was excellent and the service was great! Portions are more than you could ask for and the sweet potato waffle is divine!
Thank you Mr Wonderful for open a great chicken and waffle place. Every dish I had I love it. The turkey chops are my favorite they are tender and juice. Keep up the great work.
The food was Wonderful!. Just had Tilapia and waffles it was so amazing the fish was seasoned to perfection and my waffle was crispy light and full of flavor! The Macaroni and cheese was better much better than the last time and I loved the Cherry Kool Aid! Will be telling all my friends about this Place!

Excellent and SOOO fun. Great team along with excellent chicken! :) we'll be back and THANK YOU Chef Mr. Wonderful!
Delicious Soul Food. Came in for the first time, hoping to find a standard southern soul food joint, was very pleasantly surprised by the both the friendliness of the place and the quality of the food. Stopped in for a lunch and was pretty well blown away. Had the Smothered Pork Chops (huge serving, two battered and fried chops ~also available grilled and un-smothered~ tasty gravy with browned onions). The Waffle (not shown) was fluffy and delicious with a bit of cinnamon seasoning and butter. Both the Black Beans and Greens were very well seasoned and just great. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu. Highly recommended.
I had the waffle with two chicken cutlets. Yum! The waffle was amazing and the chicken cooked perfectly. The mac and cheese I had as my side was wonderful too. Will come back!
My wife had the chicken and waffles and it was delicious. I had the pork chops and quite liked them. Very flavorful sides too. It's not in the best part of town, but that won't stop us from coming back.
This place is Great. Atmosphere is good. Service is fast and courteous. I will come here again.
I dig into the ribs first and they are VERY tasty and rich. Lots of sweetness, char, tender meat layered with some fattiness. With the large basket of fries this would make for a great app or even a meal. The chicken and waffles is solid, the waffle a bit brown as well as the chicken. The fried chicken has some seasoning with some punch on it and the special MWCR sauce is a nice lemon-pepper sauce for a bit of citrus and spice, very nice.
The owner Mr Wonderful is a great guy he really cares about his customers opinions My fiance and I were offered comedy show tickets from him directly. I ordered the shrimp and grits with Turkey sausage. The shrimp and Turkey sausage were delicious. The lemonade is perfect. My fiance had fish chicken cabbage and Mac and cheese. She didn't try the sweet Jesus sauce but the chicken was great the fish was great and she ordered Banana pudding which was great. They also have a buffet on Sundays for around 13 dollars a person so I shall return.
I found this restaurant while browsing the Web couple months ago. Pictures looked good so I was determined to try it for myself. I drive 1 hour and 20 minutes to get here and it was well worth it. My son came from Greensboro to meet me and got there before I did, he called me saying they were closed. I was truly disappointed but by time I arrived the manager had opened up. Apparently there was a slight staff issue. I said all that to say this. Even though they were short handed they still opened up and served some delicious food. The lady taking orders was very courteous as well as the young men doing the cooking. They constantly checked on us as well as other customers being very courteous and professional. It was my first time but definitely not my last. The cheesecake waffles was DELICIOUS as well as the chicken. I see a few other things on menu that catches my eye and can't wait to go back and try them.
I stopped here today to eat, and it was my first time going to this restaurant. I wanted some great tasting soul food. I was not disappointed at all! We were waited on by James. He was absolutely AMAZING. He was extremely professional from the second we walked in, until the moment we left. I ordered the waffles and 4 wings, and mac and cheese. The food was DELICIOUS. It's a family style environment, down to earth and comfortable. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. To the owner, James is AWESOME. HE is the reason I'll be telling everyone I know to make sure they stop in. Thanks for great service and a great meal!
This is a wonderful place to get chicken and waffles pun intended. I have visited this multiple times and am impressed each time with the food and service.
I got the Waffle and 4 wings. It was one of the best waffle I have had and the wings were good too. My girlfriends got the chicken cutlet and waffle. I was impressed with the cutlet, it had great flavor and was very juicy, cooked perfectly. The Sweet Jesus (honey lemon pepper) glaze was very tasty on both the chicken and the waffle. The food took a little bit long to come out, but it was worth it. The people were Very friendly, and don't be surprised if the chef/owner walks out to greet and talk with you. Our waitress, was very nice, but a bit forgetful. I got the feeling she was new to the job, so I imagine she will improve and won't old that against her.
There are many options on the menu and I will for sure be going back. It is run by the type of good people that deserve all the success in the world.
I had family come into town this weekend and they asked about a good Chicken and Waffle spot in the area. I thought about the one in Downtown Raleigh but didn't quite feel like dealing with downtown traffic, parking and the pricing of their food. I've always seen Mr. Wonderfuls off of New Bern Ave. but never stopped in to try it. My first visit today will definitely not be my last. All five of us were greeted immediately upon walking in. After being seated, the waitress was prompt in taking our orders. When the food arrived, it was hot, fresh and delicious. I definitely will be recommending this restaurant to others and am already looking forward to my next visit. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are of very good size. Thanks again for such a wonderful, first dine in experience.
I was there yesterday and had a friend with me from out of state. He ordered the boneless chicken breast w/sides and I ordered the catfish w/sides. Overall it was good. He wasn't happy with his chicken because he said it had way to much breading. Neither one of us enjoyed those yams. To much of something that really changed the taste but everything else was fabulous. I recommend to anyone. I know I'll be back again. ...soon
I love this restaurant like no other. The owners are wonderful. The staff is friendly. The food is amazing. This place has the best chicken wings in Raleigh! The fish is scrumptious too. I am so glad they opened up in our community. I feel the pride and love every time I walk into the door. If you haven't eaten here yet, stop by ASAP and make sure you try some Sweet Jesus Sauce on your chicken or fish.
I'm reading these reviews and kind of like wow!!! Did we all go to the same place??? I have been going here with my wife and telling others about Mr. Wonderful Chicken & Waffles! Love this place from day one. Understand just like any other business, there are Pro's & Con's. We all have different things we are use too. It happens, Me and my wife had not been in a while, but this past Sunday we were in the area after church, said hey lets eat here. Let me tell you Service was wonderful, I gave our waitress a great tip, Food was Excellent, I don't know if I was starving or hadn't eaten there in a while but I definitely Enjoyed my Food, as well my wife! We had no complaints.
I think people look for a reason to have something negative to say, being a "black own Establishment" How about we go and support. If you go to any other place and your food is wrong, service was bad, guess what? You complain and STILL COME BACK!!!

So extremely happy we decided to go here!!! The chicken was tender and flavorful and sauces were amazingly tasty! The waffles were sweet and didn't even need syrup. Our server was funny and quick. Overall, best breakfast out we've had in a while.
I have been here three times and my expectations were met and exceeded to the point that I brought family after my first time coming and we all agreed that the food was really good really good priced and the staff was wonderful.. I feel like I'm eating my mom's fried chicken and the mac and cheese is really good for restaurant quality because I am very picky when it comes to mac and cheese and I really enjoyed it. The pork chops is seasobed good and the chicken fried to the perfect crispness. ... it's a must go and check it out.... I will be back
