The Best Waffles in North Carolina Is A Short Drive From Charlotte

"Hey Alexa, where can I find the best waffles in North Carolina?"

Waffles are one of those food items that just never miss. I've never regretted ordering waffles while out. Each restaurant does waffles differently. Some offer the traditional breakfast dish, while others put the juiciest piece of chicken on top. I've also recently seen waffle donuts, which 10 out of 10 recommend.

LoveFood compiled a list using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience to curate a list of the best waffle restaurants in each state.

Dame's Chicken & Waffles!

They have various locations but as someone who grew up in Raleigh, I believe Durham is the original location. This was always a "must-try" place. I remember always taking someone there if they were visiting from out of town. Lovefood says, "For chicken and waffles that will blow you away, Dame's is the place. With locations in Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Greensboro, the mini chain is loved for the fact you can customize your dish to your exact liking, choosing from a list of waffle types, flavored butters, toppings, drizzles, and sides. Customers say every element of the dish is seasoned and cooked to perfection."

You know we can't talk about one Carolina without mentioning the other and Johnny D's Waffles in Myrtle Beach won for South Carolina. LoveFood says, "Family-run Johnny D's Waffles specializes in waffles and takes on eggs Benedict, and customers say you'll be blown away by the food and service. The joint is famous for its red velvet waffle, drizzled with cream cheese icing, and topped with butter and powdered sugar. Other customer favorites include the chicken and waffles, with breaded chicken tenders and cinnamon sugar. It has two other restaurants, in North Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach."

Are you a fan of breakfast sandwiches? I know some people feel like a breakfast sandwich can change the way they tackle a day. Personally, the only breakfast sandwich I am big on is grilled cheese. I know, very basic of me. But, breakfast in general can be very important. It truly kick-starts your day and helps you be able to better navigate the day. From fast food spots to bagel shops and coffee shops, you can find a good breakfast sandwich. But, where are the best?

Cheapism is telling us the best places to enjoy a breakfast sandwich in every state. So, of course, we had to check out what spots are representing the Carolinas. These spots are based on high customer ratings and food critics. Even more fun, Charlotte is home to the best one in North Carolina. How about that? If you have tried either of these then let us know your thoughts!

Laurel Market - Charlotte 

Laurel Market is a favorite for breakfast sandwiches in North Carolina. Not only do they offer a wide range of options to enjoy for breakfast, but you can also get crazy and build your own monster of a sandwich. From a classic grilled cheese on your choice of bread to class sausage, egg, and cheese and a superior breakfast ham sandwich. Sounds like breakfast might have just gotten a lot better in Charlotte.

Page's Okra Grill - Charleston

Of course, the best spot in South Carolina is in Charleston. Page's Okra Grill has the famous TJ's Hot Mess that you should try out for breakfast. I LOVE Page's but I am always enjoying lunch and dinner there instead. The famous breakfast sandwich has fried chicken between two halves of buttery biscuit with pepper jack cheese, eggs, and jalapeños. Sounds pretty great, right? Time for breakfast!
