Food and Drink
Chick-In Waffle is Expanding to Johnson County
A local restaurant that serves specialty waffles with a global twist is opening a new location in Johnson County.
Why’d the Chicken Cross State Line?: Owner Dennis Alazzeh opened the first Chick-In Waffle in Westport in January 2020. After weathering the storm of the pandemic over that next year, Alazzeh has expanded to five locations (including one in Prescott, Arizona) and will add a sixth at 8667 W. 135th St. in Overland Park later this year.
Sweet & Savory: Chick-In Waffle has taken the American classic of chicken & waffles and added flavorful twists. The menu features a classic Chick-In Maple waffle, an Asian Chili waffle, a Tiki Masala waffle, a KC BBQ waffle, and more. They also offer loaded fries, sandwiches, sides, and signature milkshakes.
Chick-In Waffle Overland Park is scheduled to be open in late December.
