Fat's Chicken and Waffles: calories, protein, carbs, and fat for 12 menu items.
Fat's Chicken and Waffles on Cherry Street is a Capitol Hill institution for Southern comfort food — fried chicken and waffles, biscuit sandwiches, shrimp and grits, and fried seafood.
This is fried food and the macros reflect it honestly: protein runs high, but so does fat. Shrimp & Grits with Eggs is the most efficient plate at 659 calories with 45g protein. The Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich lands 51g protein for 745 calories, and the Fried Catfish Sandwich carries 33g protein at 690 calories. The 12-count naked wings top the menu for protein at 96g, but at 1080 calories with 72g of fat they are a shared order rather than a solo one.
Best macro pick: Shrimp & Grits with Eggs (45g protein, 659 calories) or the Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich (51g protein, 745 calories). Watch out for Fat's Sampler — 1350 calories and 123g of carbs once the grits, biscuit and sides are counted — and the Fried Chicken & Waffle at 1170 calories.
These are estimates from Fat's Chicken and Waffles's published menu, not official nutrition data — values vary by preparation, portion and seasonal substitutions, so confirm with the restaurant if you are targeting a precise macro window.
Best Macro Pick
One fried piece (breast 35g protein, thigh 25g) with collards or vinegar slaw; skip the biscuit.
Watch Out For
Biscuits, waffles, mac and cheese, and gravy — typical sides add 300-500 calories each.
