The Counter at Old Ballard Catering Co.

This is my absolute favorite place to get food in the area! I love that I can order ahead or stop by and pick something up. The service is fast and everyone that works here is friendly and helpful. I've tried nearly the whole menu at this point and can confidently say the quality cannot be beat! You can tell it's made fresh and the quality is amazing. The gyros are the best in town and they do fried chicken on Fridays which has become a favorite at our house.

i got the Fried Chickenall i have to say is - wow.wowoh my godthat fried chicken was the best fried chicken i’ve had in my life. it’s unbelievable how good that wasthat breading was utterly magical. It was so insanely flaky and crunchy - just the absolute perfect level of each. It had such a satisfying dark brown color rather than the light brown you see on other fried chicken. You could tell this was truly fried in as much oil as possible - which you could also tell by how the breading was even slightly damp with oil and the bottom of the carton was still somewhat wet from the oileach bite of the breading was just absolute perfectionthe inside of the chicken was also astoundingly good - which i wasn’t expecting. the first time I took a bite of the chicken meat itself - i was shocked by how well it tasted. This wasn’t your boring old bland chicken you’d find somewhere else - it had fat to it - and even if the breading didn’t exist I would still really enjoy eating the chickenthe only thing i wish for is the breading had some spice to it - there pretty much wasn’t any of thatmy next absolute favorite part was the buttermilk biscuits that i got as a side. These were baked so perfectly - with a tough exterior but a soft interior. The butter dipping sauce added to this was the best part of the entire meal - it was so addicting it was impossible to resistwhat drags this down slightly, though, is the greek fries. I didn’t think these were good at all - while they were seasoned well with pepper throughout - the cheese was a) not well distributed and b) pretty infrequent. Also, the fries themselves were pretty hard to the touch but not crispy and didn’t have any softness inside. The white sauce didn’t taste very good eitherI will say the buffalo sauce that I added as a side was quite goodWhat puts this meal over the top is the massive portion size. It did cost a good amount (24 dollars) - but 3 of that was the greek fries which I’ll skip next time in favor of a side that doesn’t cost extra. The pieces of fried chicken were MASSIVE - there was so much food contained in that basket. I wasn’t even able to finish this entire meal. Given that you get this much fried chicken + two sides for a decent price, the value here is pretty damn goodoverall, out of this world fried chicken and biscuits, although the greek fries does keep this from the highest possible score. 9.25 / 10

Incredible food at a fair price. Will be back forsure.

I haven't tried Greek food often, but the gyro was delicious because it had a lot of vegetables, and the sauce was Greek, so it had a bit of a yogurt flavor and was enjoyable. This restaurant is definitely a chicken restaurant. I don't know how they fry the fries so deliciously. Doordash ordering is possible, but ordering directly from the store is cheaper. When I stopped by to visit in person, the store and kitchen were very clean, and the female owner was very sincere and packed the food quickly. A restaurant you would want to visit again.

Spicy chicken sandwich better than Chik-fil-

Awesome place really good staff coming back here again!

Top notch. Never had a bad meal from this place. Usually get the gyro or the chicken tenders. Can be a little pricey, but inflation is a real B. Food quality and service are excellent. Very nice owners and staff as well. 10/10

I don't know if the quality control of their food is diminished when ordered through ubereats. What I received was not acceptable quality. I ordered the chicken strips with fries, Mac & cheese on the side, lemon chips, and ranch sauce. The food itself tasted almost flavorless. The chicken was crunchy as chicken tenders should be, but with no flavor, what's the point? The Mac & cheese was bland and loaded with butter, as if it was cooked from a cheap store bought box. The ranch sauce tasted like it was intended for salad, not chicken. The honey mustard had too much vinegar in it. I was very upset and as a result, had to skip having dinner. I understand that restaurants have off days, but this is enough to turn one away from ever giving another chance.

Great food and quick service. The internal decor was very cute, waiting for the food was lovely. I will come back, especially for the fresh warm pita bread and the generous gyro.

Delicious gyros only a three-star rating because they're only open for lunch two days a week seems like they're missing out on a lot of money

Delicious gyros and tacos! Can't wait to go back and try more of the delicious and freshly made food

New(ish) treats in my old(ish) hood! They've done such a great job with this space and the fish & chips were delish!

Good is generally good, could use some more seasoning at times
