19 Best Chicken Restaurants in Seattle

“Great little spot on Greenwood.

Very unassuming storefront, and something about it seems to exude, "local favorite," before you even step in the door.

Very laid back, but professional staff. Welcoming, kind, and just the right amount of hipster. :)

Surprisingly simple, straightforward menu but that doesn't mean it is boring or mundane! You'll find variety and unexpected depth in the dozen or so offerings including garlic rice, banana ketchup and coconut collard greens. There are the more basic fried potatoes and fried pickles if that's more your bag.

Top of off with a delicious desert which is some kind of mochi cake with coconut whipped cream.

I'm writing this a couple days after eating there, and I've convinced myself it's time to return.

On my way back there now - and you should do the same.

But you better get there before they sell out ! :)

Bonus : when you finish, 100% of the restaurant's packaging and waste goes straight to the compost!

What are you waiting for??

“Great food, great service ! Al was very fun and made us feel like we had a lot of time even though it was close to closing time.“

“Very clean restaurant serving great quality fried chicken and southern sides. These guys do a great job with a simple but delicious menu. They pay tribute to the KFC bowl, which is one of my favorite menu items in Seattle. Chicken sandwiches are great and they service the right amount of spice in 4-5 levels. I can’t stress the quality of ingredients, great every time.

One of my favorite places in Ballard and a great stop when I’m in the area. Always recommending this place, 10/10“

“Excellent lunch served outside in the sunshine today. Beautifully flavoured chicken breast with hearty portions“

“Wow great fried chicken - my brother claims it was life changing 😀. Nothing more to say except it's recommended by Oprah!“

“A bit hard to find if you don't know it's insider Rachel's Ginger Beer, but I've had it twice now and love the flavor. I saw another review stating this was likely the best fried chicken sandwich in Seattle and I think I agree. I can't think of another place I'd rather go for when I'm craving it.This is a great quick bite option, with food prepared relatively quickly. Will be coming again and again to satisfy the lunch craving.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is absolutely amazing! The chicken is always juicy and perfectly spiced, and the sides are delicious too. The service is quick and friendly, making every visit a pleasure. Highly recommend for anyone craving some top-notch hot chicken!“

“This place has the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. The seasoning is perfect, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast. The restaurant is clean and has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delicious fried chicken! I will definitely come back again.“

“I came on my lunch break. I purchased a lunch special and paid a little over $25.00. That's not a special. 3 stripes and potato salad with a drink and peach cobbler. The chicken was fresh out the grease and crunchy like I like it. The potato salad was to die for. I'm from the south so it tasted like it was right out of grandma's kitchen. The only disappointment I had was to peach cobbler and the price to be a special. The crust was more like bread from a cake than crust on a pie. It crumbled as I open the tray. It had great cinnamon spices like I like it but the crust just wasn't it for me.“

“In Seattle for the night and wandered into the Pelican for an after midnight snack. The food was fantastic! Juiciest chicken I've ever had. Customer service? When my card was declined, the staff was over the top gracious. Nuff said. A+“

“Ezell's Famous Fried Chicken remain the one, the go to in either times of triumph or trouble, the one to try and beat but not likely to ever happen. In short and sum, the best fried chicken definitively in the PNW - The Pacific Northwest, as well as very arguably Ezell's Famous Chicken may be best of the best across the whole USA Nation. Even at those levels, Ezell's is always in contention in consistent high quality food provided with great service.“

“The restaurant is next to the ramen shop so we decided to try it out. Communication was a little difficult, i ask for recommendation and they don’t understand what im asking :(
Food was okay… :/ floor is slippery so please be careful!“

“For gas station fare, this place is not bad at all. The orange colored chicken taquitos are pretty great. The soft serve ice cream is also a great choice!! The cashier's are always pleasant and friendly. The gas isn't such a bargain but I don't think that's a surprise!“

“We LOVE KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN. WE AKWAYS SAY, KFC, IS THE NEXT TO OUR HOME COOKING FRIED CHICKEN. LIVE ESPECIALLY THEIR MEAKS DEAL. TOO BAD THE CORN ON THE COB WAS TAKEN OFF OF THEIR MENU. SMALLER BOWLS ARE NOW BEING USED FOR SIDE ORDERS AS MAC & CHEESE, MASHED POTATOES, GRAVY. + OTHER SIDE ITEMS.

Parking: The parking is limitless. There'was a lot of people who are @ KFC that day . THE parking was very limitless. My left leg has been injured due to Ostriarthritis + Rhumatoidarthritis... causing me to hav limitless walking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, BUT maybe there could be more added wheelchair disabled parking ...“

“Loved the food I was amazed with the quantity. It was a good amount. My only regret is I didn't get more BBQ sauce.

Parking: The street it is on was very busy something into the parking lot was difficult due to traffic. It could of just been rush hour.“

“I went there and got the family meal with tenders pieces of chicken pogo wedges and biscuits. The chicken was delicious but the biscuits were soft, buttery and sweet just like I like. Go get the chicken and biscuits they are on point!! (Delicious) ?“
