We went to the 'nice' restaurant at the casino and, as an appatizer, they had quail and waffles.
Which I assume is considered the 'ritzy' version of chicken and waffles.
I don't know that I've ever had chicken & waffles, but...I'd do quail and waffles again.
(the waffles had long-grain wild rice baked into them, served w/ peppered syrup--so a good mix of savory and sweet).
the description was "Grilled Balsamic Marinated Quail, Wild Rice Waffles, Smoked Peppercorn Maple Syrup"
