This is by far the BEST brunch I've had since living in Washington state. Whomever is in the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. I had Red Velvet waffle, friend chicken, Grits, eggs, and toast. Side note: If you're from the southern parts of the USA you will NOT be disappointed ordering from Seattle Chicken Express. We ordered through Uber Eats. read more

No Breasts, no thighs.... Why is chicken in the name? Not knocking the staff, just the concept.

Waffles are still good as ever! When you come here, don't shortcut yourself make sure you get a waffle or two!

Came back here and thought they were closed. To my delight, they are still doing window service orders. I ordered my regular fish & chips. Plus Chicken & waffles for my wife. I absolutely love the breading and quality of the seasoning. My kiddos love the lentil sambusas This has been the best kept secret in the neighborhood! I'm glad they reopened after COVID! read more

Best chicken hands down. I have ordered from a lot of chicken places and nobody (outside of fast food chains aka Popeyes or jollibees) makes a better fried chicken than this place. Ordered through Uber eats. Waffles came cold but that's expected due to how far the driver had to go so I'm not complaining about that. As a southerner I'm impressed to see grits. Not some fancy version of it with a bunch of added nonsense but just a good serving of grits. Sheesh that made me so happy. The only knock I would say would be the patties and sausage links. They were just not to my liking. Bacon was tasty and home fries are yummy without any need of extra condiments. That's a testament to a great cook. The waffles are huge in size and delicious. I would like to thank this restaurant for the amazing food and making this southerner feel like I'm back at home. Will order from here again. Not sure if they have a lunch menu or not but I'd love to see them change over from breakfast to lunch/dinner menu. I can only imagine read more

Pretty decent breakfast place to grab a bite to eat. They serve Jurassic sized portions and their main breakfast menu items are out of this world good. I absolutely loved the French toast they had! Super fluffy and dangerously sweet. Really awesome place to binge eat if you like to get stuffed. They were out of waffles, so hopefully next time I can get some of that. The chicken itself was super large. Like man, it looked like turkey parts! The chicken wasn't too juicy and was on the verge of dry but it did taste quite good. The hot sauce they have is just Tabasco sauce. It kinda worries me that the fried chicken is just sitting under a heat lamp, tends to dry it out more. Maybe I'll come earlier when they make it fresher. All in all, a decent place. I'll be back to try their other breakfast platters. read more

Chicken Express - 3 chicken pieces and French toast for $12 - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Simple fried chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. Crispy and juicy. Wings are the huge 3 section wings (as opposed to the individual parts at wings restaurants) so the $11 for 7 plate isn't as expensive as it first sounds. Reminds me of Roscoe's in Los Angeles minus the waffles (crap reading the other reviews, they must have waffles on a menu that I didn't see). Come to think of it, I am going to have my leftovers with Belgian waffles for breakfast tomorrow. Order took about 15 minutes to fry up fresh. I was there in an off hour after the Blue Angels at Seafair. Saw the sign while stuck in traffic... read more

The fried chicken is amazing. Very moist and crispy, with great flavor on the skin. The drumsticks were big and meaty, not as much meat on the wings. Most of us ordered the chicken with waffles, and I thought the waffle was possibly the best part. It was fluffy and sweet, perfect complement to the chicken. The Combo #1 with 3 pieces of chicken and a waffle was plenty of food and very satisfying. I took off a star because service was not "express" - we waited 45 minutes for our food. Also, they charge 60¢ to use a card, so be prepared. And generally just don't expect regular service like a sit down restaurant and you'll be fine. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall that's worth going into. The owners, a very sweet Ethiopian family, were super friendly and very easy going. I was recommended to this place by a stranger at a dog park who would make the commute from Kent to Seattle just for the wings so I had to give it a try. Their fried chicken was awesome! Can't wait to come back and give the rest of their menu a taste! FYI, the parking lot is small and usually always full so it's hard to find a good place to park. read more

The yummiest fried chicken in town! This is a family run business attended by Sabrina, the sweetest lady ever. She always welcomes us with a smile and treats us warmly and kindly. We are always looking forward to come back and recommend this place to anyone we come across. Try to visit around noon or 5pm for a fresh batch. Though at other times it tastes just as good. Please come and try it yourself. You won't regret!! read more

Being from Texas it's hard finding a good spot for good cooking and I definitely found it with chicken express. Family oriented and great customer service. Chicken and waffles were great! Definitely recommend! read more

Had been looking forward to visiting this place, because who doesn't like to explore a new chicken restaurant? Went on a Saturday afternoon. Big sign out front "Jumbo Wings." Oh, boy! But the woman told me that the chicken that was in the pan was "sold," whatever that means. So no "Chicken." Unless I wanted to wait for them to make more. So no "Express." Thus ended my first and last visit to this disappointingly named restaurant. read more

This place is the best. They are so warm and welcoming. It's not fancy its just good. The chicken is crispy, flavorful, tender and juicy. It is perfect. I dont eat fried chicken but i will here. The waffles are delicous! Tender and yummy. The dining room is a hodge podge byt it is welcoming and homey. We LOVE this place. read more

Wow, the drumsticks were affordable and dare I say it - better than Ezell's or Heaven Sent! The skin is fluffier and chicken juicier. Just stopped in for a snack, will have to dig deeper into the menu next time around. read more

Great place for chicken and waffles!!! Over here in south Seattle a must try!!! Great chicken and tasty waffles read more

Chicken Express - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My friend and I were going to grab coffee in North beacon hill and wanted to get some wings as well. Found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. We went on a Saturday at 12pm and it was not crowded at all. The place didn't look impressive from the outside, as others have mentioned, but the food is what counts. The 3 wings and waffle is a good amount of food and definitely satisfying. The wings were juicy, crispy, and nicely seasoned. The waffle was also crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I really enjoyed my hash browns with my eggs, toast, bacon, and link. Overall great food and service. Again, someone mentioned there is a small fee for using a credit card, but I had cash so it didn't matter to me. read more

Yum, yum. I had wings. They were hot and well seasoned. The woman behind the counter was nice. Would most definitely return for more of those scrumptious wings. read more

Pleasantly surprised! I ended up here in search of chicken & waffles after realizing Willie's Taste of Soul didn't open until noon. I didn't smell the aroma of food as I entered so I was a little nervous. But once I got my breakfast I was pleasantly surprised at the taste read more

-0.5 stars for parking and driving there sucks -0.5 stars currently renovating and it looks really messy, bad impression at first, but it's not Came here at about 1:30 pm on a Monday Initially, my boyfriend and I came for the chicken and waffles because I was craving for some so baddd. However, their waffle maker was down (which I was sad about) but ended up ordering chicken and French toast. ($9.99) gotta say, it was a great substitution and I cleaned my plate. I enjoyed the fried chicken and dipping it in syrup. It was a great combination with the French toast, actually. This is definitely a hole in the wall place. It's owned by an Ethiopian family/couple. At first, it was sort of awkward... not sure if it was established that you go up and order/pay first or just sit down then pay? But we just went up to the cashier and ordered. The menu is way too big and I was way too hungry to look at the whole thing lol. I went straight to the breakfast section. The cook mentioned he made everything from scratch and how equally great the pancakes and French toast were to the waffles (since not having waffles available) Otherwise, the couple was very friendly and I think it's great when they come up to talk to you to have an actual conversation and see how your food is. Also the cook was saying how he is in the works of making a savory stuffed french toast. Yum! I don't mean to sound so passive, but overall my boyfriend and I will be coming back here soon! read more

Man I don't know what the other person was going through with their review but every time I've gone I've gotten the Tilapia and fries and its amazing !!!! And I drive all the way from White Center to get their fish and fries !!! And they are always so welcoming ! they're even beginning to know me by name LOL ! so if you want great service and even better food you need to check this place out I'm sure you wont be disappointed. read more

You wouldn't know it from the outside but this place is so great. It's the definition of a local secret. The owners are fantastically warm and sincere and the folks who eat there regularly clearly come to hang out for a while (usually really nice pensioners and local historians) but it's all about the fried chicken wings. Forget KFC or even the highly overrated Ezell's (there's actually one of those less than a block away): these are the best fried chicken wings around (I recommend calling ahead to reserve them)! Also their collard greens, beans, and then the waffles and their own take on somosas...fantastic. I hear they're about to start serving pasta dishes too and we keep planning to try their traditional Ethiopian dishes, but those wings won't let us go. Definitely a place to support. read more

Not sure how this place gets such high marks. I tried a chicken & waffle combo and wasn't impressed. The waffle was fresh but too light and small, and was barely lukewarm when served. They couldn't be bothered to make fresh wings so I got a combo of old and newer pieces from a heated tray. I've noticed a trend of restaurants getting stingy with portions for the prices they charge and this doesn't seem to be an exception. read more

You almost miss this tucked away little restaurant, but do stop in. A sweet family owns and runs everything, from the chef to wait and counter staff, and they'll make sure you're happy with your food. I had chicken and waffles (my first time with this combo) and it was great! I was told it was "mom's" special recipe. This is definitely a little gem of a restaurant. read more
