BUFFALO, N.Y. — Gregory Crenshaw and his wife Dijonna started their family business in 2019, taking chicken and waffle orders straight out of their home on Buffalo’s West Side.
“My family's always been cooking, I love to cook,” Gregory told 2 On Your Side. “Trial and error, just trying to perfect the recipes, over the course of years, and then having my wife as a taste tester.”

Reviews
My very first experience was so amazing. Food was 10 /10. The customer service was top tier. And baby that blue velvet waffle and sauce was so divine!!! Please go try but don't hog up the line. I'm definitely coming back!
The chicken and waffles at Crenshaw’s are outstanding, but what truly elevates the experience is the exceptional staff and spotless environment. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and pairs seamlessly with fluffy, golden waffles that strike the ideal balance of sweet and savory. But beyond the incredible food, the warmth and attentiveness of the staff make every visit memorable. They greet you with genuine smiles, ensure every need is met without being overbearing, and create a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. The restaurant itself is impeccably clean, from the dining area to the restrooms, reflecting their dedication to quality and care in every detail. Crenshaw’s isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience that leaves you feeling satisfied and appreciated.
Absolutely amazing! Just found out about this place today, and I am blown away. The food was delicious, cooked and seasoned to perfection.and the portion was huge. The staff was so friendly and beyond helpful! If I could give 10 stars, I would.
