This is a fried chicken spot. There were a few other things on the menu but fried chicken was the primary thrust. I got one of their spicy chicken sandwiches. It was fine. Not a great value for the quality, but it filled the whole. Likewise the Mac and Cheese. Just fine. The baked beans side, however, was great. Tasty, beany, and not drowning in sweetness like baked beans can sometimes get. I liked the place, but for the money, I wasn't very impressed.

While I hate to leave bad reviews, this was an ok meal at best. They were out of dark meat chicken, which they didn't mention until after we ordered, and white meat was a bit dry. One order came out wrong. Despite being nearly empty, service was slow and the included gratituity was unusual.

Don't come here on game days. They are not equipped for busy times. We waited 25 min for a drink, an hour for our food and I had to go find our server so that we could pay and leave. Plus they automatically add a 20% tip! Not cool.

Loved it here so much I came two days in a row. The dining room is small and welcoming with a few seats facing the street. I came during their chicken week and the chicken did not disappoint. It was perfectly prepared with spices and yummy fixins. They also have a hibiscus old fashioned which I had never heard of and was probably one of the best cocktails I had my entire stay in Seattle. The next day I got their caesar and for being a salad, it was freaking fantastic with enough scratch made dressing, fresh croutons, yummy chicken and crispy lettuce. My server, Duckie, was so sweet, made great recommendations and was attentive. Will come here every time I visit my office nearby.

Wonderful Classic Fried Sandwich and ice cold Rainier Beer in a bottle - I love Rainier and it is hard to find on Draft but this is the 1st place in Seattle to have Rainier in a bottle. Brian, waiter/bartender was funny on this 2nd day on the job, we will return.

We live in the neighborhood and have walked by this place lots of times with the intent to go in! Finally went for a Friday night dinner yesterday during their fried chicken week. We both got the chicken sandwich and split a side of the honey/sriracha Brussels sprouts - YUM. Service was quick and the place was pretty chill. Hope more people stop by! Would love to see this place stick around.

One of my favorite long time Pioneer Square restaurants that serves great food and drinks! There menu changes with seasonal offerings. Casual, family friendly. Adult friendly. Hamburger is expensive but spectacularly good. My husband and I split a burger and oysters and are full. Small plates are good. Desserts are good. Jonathon makes a good cocktail. Beer, wine, homemade ginger ale.

Had a decent meal(Veggie Lasagna) here after attending the SeaFair Airshow. Restaurant seemed clean enough and service was good. Reason for the 3 stars is the forced tipping policy of 20% added to EVERY check, regardless of actual service received and regardless of number of people in your party. As a former food server of 25 years, I find it offensive that management doesn't understand that allowing customers to appropriately determine the tip is what actually drives good service. Anyhow, probably won't go back.
We were there before Reign game on a Sunday. Had to get oysters! They were tasty but not as cold as I'm used to here. Had no trouble though. It just bumped me at the time. Our server kicked ass. Nice Bloody. We are going back tomorrow.

SummaryPublic Health investigated an outbreak of norovirus-like illness associated with vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and chills at Pioneer Square D&E in Seattle.We did not identify how norovirus was spread within the restaurant. This is not uncommon for norovirus outbreaks, because the virus can spread through multiple contaminated food items, environmental surfaces, and from person to person.IllnessesNine people from 3 meal parties reported becoming ill after eating food from Pioneer Square D&E on December 16, 19, and 20, 2022. All the people developed one or more symptoms consistent with norovirus-like illness, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and chills.We identified one ill employee who reported symptoms consistent with norovirus dating back to December 17, 2022 and did not work while ill.Public Health actionsThese illnesses were reported on December 19, 2022. Environmental Health Investigators visited the restaurant on December 20, 2022. The restaurant closed that same day to complete a thorough cleaning and disinfection.Environmental Health Investigators revisited the facility on December 22, 2022 and verified proper compliance with food handling practices. The restaurant was reopened that same day.Investigators reviewed with restaurant management the requirement that ill staff are not allowed to work until they are symptom-free for at least 48 hours and provided education about preventing the spread of norovirus — including proper handwashing and preventing bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foodsResponse:Dear Jonathan,I appreciate you reaching out in response to my review. I understand my review from 6 months ago comes at an inconvenient time, but I felt compelled to share to warn others.The fact is, the outbreak at your restaurant in December 2022 made people very ill. People all came down with severe food poisoning symptoms after dining at your restaurant. They were sick with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.While I'm glad you took corrective actions after the fact, for those people the damage was already done.Rather than provide "joy and fulfillment", my review was meant as a warning to others. I did not dine at your restaurant, but I may be a customer in the future.I appreciate your kind invitation. I hope you can understand my perspective and desire to share my honest review. While I wish you the best going forward, my review will stand as a reminder of what happened that caused people to get sick.Regards,JP

They have removed all chicken from the menu. We ended up with water, overpriced Cesar salads (no protein), 3 deviled eggs (that's 1.5 eggs) and fries for $60. Our server let us know that there is a 20% gratuity automatically added to all bills.Food was OK, but not stellar.
