If you’ve lived in Houston long enough, chances are you’ve had a bite of The Waffle Bus—and if you haven’t, now’s the time to fix that. This fried chicken and waffle institution has been around for over 12 years, starting as a humble food truck and growing into one of the city’s most beloved comfort food spots. We’ve been fans since the beginning, and their latest addition to the menu—the Hot Honey Chicken Tenders and Hot Honey Wings & Waffles—is a game-changer.

We recently stopped by their Heights location to get a taste, and it lived up to all our expectations. The tenders were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, coated in a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze that hits all the right notes. It’s just enough heat to wake up your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Pair that with their house-made ranch, and you’ve got a meal that’s hard to beat!

The Hot Honey Wings & Waffles combo takes it a step further, marrying crispy wings with their signature fluffy waffles. It’s comfort food that delivers on crunch, flavor, and that satisfying "wow" factor.

We also love that The Waffle Bus has expanded beyond Houston, planting roots in Derby, Kansas. Watching a local favorite grow like that makes us even prouder to support them. And from what we’ve heard, a new location is headed to Cypress soon, which means even more Houstonians get to experience the magic!

Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-timer, The Waffle Bus continues to raise the bar for fried chicken and waffles in Houston. Save this spot for your next lunch break, late-night craving, or weekend cheat day—it’s always worth the trip!
