Somehow after all of this food, the three of us mustered up the courage to try and stuff down a slice of red velvet cake, as it looked too good to miss. My sides - mac 'n' cheese and yams - both knocked my socks off, with the mac leaving gooey strings in my beard, and the sweet syrupy yams putting me on the edge of a diabetic coma. The fish was to die for! Tender and moist as could be and covered in a relatively light, but delightfully crispy cornmeal batter. Again, at Auntie April’s they are focused on the food, and you should be, too! Oh, and they have a touching Michael Jackson shrine! So much soul!Īnyway, back to the food focus! I decided to break away from my penchant for poultry on this visit and went with the 4-piece catfish dinner, which, for only $13, included four tasty pieces of fish, two sides, and cornbread. The restaurant also caters to its clientele, who are residents of the Bayview community, by providing a lovely seating area where people can congregate and by not wasting time/energy/space on unnecessary décor.

Another went for the gold and got the $13 four-piece chicken dinner and, for her two hefty sides, chose collard greens and red beans and rice. One of my guests ordered a $6 fried catfish po'boy, which was gigantic and served with fries that tasted just like all the other delicious goodies that had hopped into the fryer before them. And I did.įor my most recent visit, I brought along two Auntie April’s newbies, and was determined to try something new myself. I was hooked, and at under $10, I could afford to gleefully work my way toward a first heart attack again and again. Buttery, syrup-drenched waffles and crispy, crumbly chicken wings awaited. Having grown up on Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n' Waffles, a Los Angeles staple, I knew I had to give it a try. My first trip to Auntie April's was completely due to my being totally caught off guard by the fact that San Francisco had its own chicken and waffles spot. ![]() However, even a jaded soul foodie, such as myself, will have a blast at Auntie April’s Chicken 'n' Waffles, an unpretentious finger-licking-good eatery on 3rd Street in the Bayview District. Crispy fried chicken, ham-laden collard greens, perfectly breaded catfish, and red velvet cake are certainly a few of my favorite things, and they are dishes I’ve sampled near and far. Soul music, soul power, soul clapping, and especially soul food.
