What you will love at Iyla’s Southern Kitchen
The food at this eatery includes classics like a fried chicken sandwich, as well as a unique spin like the chicken and waffle sandwich.
This luscious Chicken &Waffle Sandwich featured a generous fried piece of chicken laid purposefully between two golden crisp-to-perfection waffles, North Carolina’s own Cackalaky infused aioli, house-made pimento cheese, and a cooling heap of coleslaw.
Why not try a comforting barbecue sundae?
How’s this sound? Mac & cheese, pulled pork, collard greens, and barbecue sauce drizzled on top for the ultimate in combo-comfort. You get to indulge in layers of flavors mixing proteins with starches with Iyla; Southern Kitchen BBQ Sundae. A real treat if you’re not afraid of your food touching.
Between the generous portion sizes and the creative menu, two things are for certain: you won’t be bored and you won’t be hungry.
We recommend
- The cinnamon sugar hushpuppies: I’d argue that these are one of the best sweet treats in the Triangle. They are sticky, sugary, and covered in a drizzle of honey. These are dangerous is the best way.
- The chicken and waffle sandwich: the fried chicken is crunchy and juicy and putting it between two liege waffles is genius.
- The barbecue sundae: a fun creation that gives you a chance to eat multiple southern foods in one bowl.
- Hot chicken sandwich: Good hot chicken is tough to find and Iyla’s provides some of the best in the state.
