Even among a variety of breakfast items, waffles remain a favorite. Adventurous patrons love “the King,” waffles topped with warm peanut butter and bananas, powdered sugar and butter!

You may order Belgian waffles dusted with powdered sugar with any of the following options: strawberry with whipped cream, chocolate chip with whipped cream, banana chocolate chip with whipped cream, pecan, cranberry pecan or red, white and blue (strawberries, bananas, blueberries) and whipped cream.

RC’s Restaurant (330 E. 135th St., Martin City, MO, 816. 942.4999, RCSChicken.com). This family-style restaurant in the heart of Martin City is known for the best fried chicken in Kansas City, and their signature chicken and waffles are an all-time favorite for locals.
