Order: The Oreo Freakin' Party
This sweet tooth's dream begins with Zinneken's Belgian-style waffle, made from a dense handmade pearl sugar-encrusted dough that caramelizes as it's cooked. Add toppings of crumbled Oreos, whipped cream and raspberry to this heavenly creation, and you have a Freakin' Party.

Order: The Belgian Liege Waffle
Saus keeps it simple and true to its Belgian roots. Their homemade Belgian Liege Waffle made with pearl sugar is exactly what you'd expect: sweet and crispy. At $0.75 each, we recommend trying a couple of waffle dipping sauces – perhaps the homemade nutella and the lemon cream.

Order: Banana Split Waffles
This delectable dish barely warrants an explanation. But for the sake of mouthwatering goodness, here goes: Waffles, bananas, vanilla bourbon ice cream, milk chocolate truffle, caramelized rice krispies… You get the idea.

Order: Chicken and Waffles
The Chicken and Waffles combo needs to be done correctly. Local 149 understands that premise. They take much care in balancing out their fresh raspberry waffles and fried chicken platter with lemon marscapone, and a caramel sherry syrup.
