About the Business
Fat’s Chicken and Waffles is co-owned and operated by general manager Erika White alongside Marcus Lalario. Occupying the storied site of the former Catfish Corner on Cherry Street, Erika White led the establishment to become an indispensable Central District community institution renowned for Louisiana-style buttermilk fried chicken.
Located at 29th & Cherry, Fat’s serves as a vibrant neighborhood meeting place. The restaurant actively partners with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.’s initiative “Building Our Economic Wealth,” providing hospitality careers and welcoming Divine Nine members during conference weekends with a dedicated Sisterhood Advantage hospitality perk.
Famous for crispy seasoned fried chicken breasts and wings paired with malted waffles, shrimp and grits, pimento mac and cheese, and homemade sweet tea, Fat’s is a prime destination for June Black Dollar Days. Guests are invited to stop by the diner on Cherry Street or order takeout online.
