Chicken Valley is located in the heart of Pikes Place Market so it's almost a must stop and sample spot like nearly everything in Pikes. When I am feeling naughty one of my favorite past times is to get an order of deep fried gizzards and hearts and do my weekly grocery shopping, that being said I wish I felt like I could give this place more than 3 stars (and that's in my own personal opinion almost more than they deserve). My frustrations lie in these two factors 1) The service is almost unapologetically horrendous. I almost now avoid this spot at nearly all costs due to this reason alone. The women running the register is just downright rude, and condescending. She almost makes me feel like my business is an inconvenience to her. That to me is not a way to run a business. 2) I have consistently had issues with the freshness and quality of the food they serve. I have been regularly served over cooked soggy deep fried food that shouldn't be sold to customers. I so want to be a fan, Pikes place is one of my favorite things about living in Seattle but this place is basically worth skipping when visiting. I hope things change for them! read more

Omgoodness their food is amazing. The gizzards and fried chicken are to die for. Definitely on the level of Ezell's and KFC... but I think it's better than KFC. They had Kielbasa's, shrimp, eggrolls, etc. I recommend this place. It's cheap and just so good. I want some now. read more

A trip to Pikes had me hungry with so many options available...why I stopped here is because I love liver, gizzards & rice. An acquired taste, I know but it was really good. I did not have any chicken unfortunately but if it's seasoned anything like the liver and gizzards then it had to be good! I would return here for chicken & other items, for sure! Sorry, no photos...I ate them too quickly! read more

Fried chicken gizzards - enough said! OMG, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that they have fried chicken gizzards and livers! Who would have guessed! I didn't think anyone would eat them but holy cow - they were popular even among Americans! The fried chicken looked really good but my eyes and stomach were set on the fried gizzards. We got half a pound and it was yummy yummy yummy for our tummies tummies tummies! YUM! As stated by other Yelpers - it's very well seasoned so imagine the chewy gizzards that's also tasty and crunchy. What a fantastic snack - it would go so well with cold beer but it was all gone before we can find the beer! Yummy yummy - we will need to return to try their fried chicken - I have my eyes on the chicken wings! read more

Chicken Valley - Look at those yummy fried chicken! - Food Stands Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Reasonable prices and convenient if you're at the market. I wouldn't say the items here were delicious, but they were okay to try. If you're at the market, there are better options other than the different parts of the chicken anatomy here. read more

The best food of 2017 in my life. I definitely wanna try more before I leave Seattle. Taste of Homeland. Local Korean style! !!! !!! read more

Hands down, best fried chicken I've ever had. Breading is not excessive. Light, but crispy. This is the first place we hit up on our visits to the market. Quick, easy snack while shopping. The honey sesame chicken skewer is also good, the fries are yummy too. We've had the tempura shrimp, but not a ton of flavor. Chicken tenders weren't bad either. The fried chicken drumsticks are the star of the show!! read more

Just north of the Flying Fish in the Pike Place Market is a little, unassuming stand: "Chicken Valley Farm Stores". Like some of the other reviewers, it is a "must stop" any time I'm in the Market. Many people pass it by, but if it beckons you - we should be friends. What looks almost like a convenience stand actually has good fried chicken...and really GREAT fried livers, gizzards and hearts. Bestill my heart. How good? I converted most of my children to gizzard lovers with the goods from Chicken Valley. Very, very inexpensive: you can get a mixed bag of offal for about $3 to 5. Important to remember: grab lots of napkins. This chicken is a bit greasy! 39/30 read more

Are we ready to go? "Not before I get my gizzards!" Chicken Valley at Pike Place is a MUST STOP on our market visits with my grandma! In fact, growing up, both grandmas on both sides dearly loved this place! Chicken Valley is a deep fried wonderland of delicacies that only the most refined palate can truly appreciate... or something like that. Ha! Fried chicken gizzards, corn dogs, fried mushrooms, etc. There is something here that just about everyone in the family can appreciate and share in the experience! Truly no visit to Pike Place is complete without seeing the flying fish, tasting the Market Spice tea, filling a bag with fresh produce, getting your picture with Rachel the market pig and a quick snack visit to Chicken Valley! read more

This is the spot for the freshest fried chicken and best gizzards. They also have hearts, fries, corndogs, and other fried goodies, but I come here for the fried chicken and gizzards. I workout hard just so I can eat here. The asian couple who runs Chicken Valley Farm are super friendly plus they change the oil and cook everything separately to maintain the great taste of each item. The chicken has just the right amount of crunch and spice but every bite is soooo juicy. The gizzards are tender with flavor in every chew and literally melt in your mouth. Even the fries are yummy since my daughter always want an order of it. So if are down at the Pike Place Market, do stop by to get some fried treats here! read more

Somehow searching for "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" spots in Portland landed me with results for Chicken Valley Farms. The last person who reviewed this place said it was BETTER than Joe's Gizzard City. I've been salivating over Joe's Gizzard City since I watched said episode and hey Seattle is alot closer to home than Michigan. I have nothing to say except it was fricking AMAZING. Juicy, tender, crunchy deep fried wonderful morsels of gizzard, livers and hearts. I got a mixed tray, walked about 10 feet away and decided to walk back and pick up more livers. Best decision of my life. My stomach hurt, I had gas pains and I felt disgustingly bloated and fat but it was all worth it. I am salivating as we speak. Must make trip to Seattle again! read more

After grabbing a few items at Cost Plus today, I was walking by the Pike Place Market and the smell of fried chicken was in the air. It was lunch time and I hadn't had lunch yet. I knew exactly where the smell was coming from so I went straight to the source...the chicken spot in the Market. I bought some drumsticks to go and had a tasty lunch at home. I've come here many times to get some chicken and never knew this place actually had a name until I looked this place up on Yelp. =) Their fried chicken is really good. They make some of the best fried chicken I've had. And as others have said in their reviews, their chicken gizzards are tasty too. And, it's cheap! So, if you're in the Market and love fried chicken, you should definitely check this place out. read more

Not really sure what the hype was about. I bought gizzards and chicken thighs and they were both OK. $3 for a piece of thigh, I had too high of an expectation. It tastes just like Safeway fried chicken and i can get an 8 piece for $5.00. The gizzards were alright, a little on the salty side and I was chewing it for awhile. read more

I love unusual bits of animals and sought out Chicken Valley when I was at Pike Place Market. It's certainly not where the internet mapping programs have placed it but just ask someone and they'll point you into the main market building. There are enormous chicken pieces and the thigh I had was well seasoned and tasty. However, the stars of the show for me were the fried gizzards and livers. Succulent and spicy but quite greasy - a previous reviewer recommended double bagging and I second that. I found a nice spot nearby in the Market to sit and gaze out at the ships in Puget Sound. Much more interesting lunch than KFC! read more

I tried this place out on a whim because I noticed they had chicken gizzards. Gizzards are hard to find in Seattle and I was not impressed with Ezell's gizzards the two times I tried them. The service was friendly and helpful. I bought some gizzards and a drumstick. Sadly, I wasn't very satisfied. I will say that I thought the chicken and gizzards had good flavor. I also know gizzards are chewy, but these were more crunchy and some pieces completely inedible. I felt like I could just suck the flavor out of them and spit them out. Maybe I was spoiled growing up with a local chicken joint that made the most succulent gizzards ever?! Overall, it's a neat little place in the market, with good service and cheap flavorful food, but I can't recommend the gizzards for people who like them moist and easy to bite through. read more

This was another stop on our Native Seattle Tourist trip. I happen to love chicken livers, gizzards and hearts, so I ordered the combo pack. It was only $3, and it's a pretty decent haul. My boyfriend just ordered the gizzards -- but they were soooo heavenly. The hearts and livers were my favorite. They weren't greasy at all, and the breading was perfectly spiced. The livers melted in my mouth, and the hearts were bursting with flavor and texture. I have to say, after eating all of these iron rich foods, I had a spring in my step and a song in my heart! I highly recommend making this a stop on your next Market outing! read more

The chicken - not quite fried, more like broasted - is the best I've ever had in the northwest. Amazingly succulent meat, perfectly crispy skin; the thighs are $1.35 each, I think, and you can't eat just one. A half pound bag of mixed livers and gizzards to go is one of the single most delicious treats I've ever had in my life, just double-bag it because they are GREASY. I could eat this chicken every week for the rest of my life and never be unhappy with it. read more

I was craving fried chicken, and low and behold in Pike Place, all of the sudden this place popped up! I was excited, everything looked so fried and greasy! YUM, exactly what I had been hoping for. The fried chicken drumstick was all I got. (After-all I do have to fit my wedding gown in 4 months). The fried part was the best part. Once I got into the chicken part, it wasn't as good and that kinda let me down. Oh well, at least I got my fried chicken fix met, and cheaply too. read more

My friends and I randomly stopped at this little chicken stand at pikes. We weren't even hungry but the chicken just smelled so good. We ended up getting honey glazed chicken on a stick. The meat was so tender and delicious. Would highly recommend if you want a savory snack but not a full meal. read more

Chicken Valley - Honey glazed chicken stick - Food Stands Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What a unique find in Pike Place! I am a huge offal fan and its not something I thought I would find in a relatively touristy place. My rank of offal would be fried gizzards, heart then liver. It is definitely worth a try if you're feeling adventurous. Also ordered the drumstick and thigh. They were great as well! The batter was light and thin, which I love. The chicken was moist and tender. A lot of times inexperienced stands would add heavy breading and dry chicken. This was not the case. The only criticism I have is the amount of salt they had on the offal. It was a little too much for my liking, especially if you're eating a lot. Would definitely come again! read more

I love this joint. I love their chicken giblets so much that I had to make a stop at least once a week to get a pound of chicken liver and munch em omw home. Although my main chow is their chicken liver, heart and gizzards. I did tried their churro and fried chicken thigh. It's pretty much all you can think of, nice and tasty. Super cheap. These people knew me well, some hard working Asians. Anything in their glass case are good, have some snack while wander around Pike Place. read more

Ok...so you need to come at the right time to get the best from this place. In terms of quality...it is best eaten right after ordering. Stand in the market with your napkins and paper bag and nosh right then and there...otherwise it isn't as good as it could be. On 2 previous attempts at getting chicken here I wasn't that impressed. But today I was able to get a fresh drumstick, just pulled from the fryer, and it was some of the best chicken I have ever had. Juicy, crispy, succulent...and all for $1.65. I almost went back later that day to get another one but my cholesterol talked me out of it. If you are in the market and see a fresh batch coming out of the fryer run...don't walk...and get yourself a piece of some yummy yummy fried chicken. read more

So we are in Cloudy Seattle for a few days. After checking into our telly we immediately started exploring. First stop was to the touristy Pike's Place Market. We wanted to eat but weren't too hungry so as we happen upon this chicken spot we realize they also hawk the innards "- hearts, gizzards, liver etc. Deep fried to crispy perfection. Got 2 pounds of each and begin to pound them as we to stroll the stands. Yes!! It was satisfying and kept us happy for about 10 minutes then on to the next.... read more

I cannot go to Seattle and leave without a trip to the market for a bag of deep fried chicken gizzards. For less than $5 a pound, I ordered 2 pounds on my last visit for self-indulgence. I consumed the whole bag so fast that I almost couldn't eat anything else for the rest of the day and the next. However, it was well worth it! Like Tanya T, I can totally OD on them. read more

Located in Pike Place Market, the prices here are fantastic. You get quality chicken at a fair price. It is cash only, so keep that in mind when ordering. The menu variety is pretty basic; however, everything is right there to see so there are no surprises! The one thing that was pretty annoying was ordering the sesame chicken skewer, which is covered thickly in sauce and being given such a small amount of napkins. When asked for more, you would have thought I asked for the entree free from the look of shock as I got one napkin handed to me followed by a second with a bit of resistance. It is a very messy item that still costs $4.00, don't be skimpy with the napkins!!! read more

Fried chicken Liver and Gizzards. I will overdose on this stuff everytime I go to Seattle. 'nuff said. read more

How that woman can measure is unbelievable. Today, she hit the nail on the head at 1/2 pound of gizzards and hearts for the guy in front of me. Then, she nailed it again with my 1/2 lb. of gizzards. She said she's just really good at that part... Strangely, this is probably one of my most frequent stops at the Market! Perfectly located to be easily accessible, yet just far enough away from the fish heavers to avoid the crowds of paparazzi tourists. Fried chicken gizzards are the appeal for me. They are just perfect. Seasoned and fried to an unhealthily delicious and chewy treat, they make a cheap meal all by themselves (well, for me they do). They also offer up fried chicken hearts and livers! Sure, they've got fried chicken there and it's not bad, but it's the organs that are the real treat! 1/2 lb. for $3.00 is plenty of greasy goodness to leave you satisfied as you walk around Pike Place. These might not appeal to everybody, but I think you might change your mind after giving these ones a try! read more

Chicken hearts, chicken liver, and chicken gizzards. Say whaaaaa?! I was so impressed because I cannot find these fried items readily available even in the streets of San Francisco. For 2 bucks, I was able to get a significant amount of these fun items. Aside from that, it looks like a fine establishment with plenty of items to try. read more

The best I have ever had!!!!!!! You have to stop here and have it. I live in California and since I have been back from Seattle I haven't found anything close to it! read more

Chicken Valley - So so so so good!!!!! - Food Stands Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Chicken Valley is located in Pikes Place and one of the best quick pick up restaurants. On my first visit two years ago I thought the food was just alright but on my recent trip I was very impressed. I ordered wings and they were fantastic. The seasoning was perfect and they were cooked crispy yet juicy. Chicken Valley also has an assortment of Chinese food and I'll have to give it a shot as well next time I'm up in Seattle. read more

This is one of my favorite stops for a quick bite whenever I'm at Pike Place Market. Who doesn't like deep fried goodness? This place serves up fried foods like chicken gizzards, livers, hearts, chicken strips, shrimp, corndogs, etc. I usually get the chicken livers (iron!). So, if you like deep fried foods, you should hit up this little stand not too far from the Rachel the Pig entrance. read more

On a fabulous Saturday afternoon while at work, I decided I wanted fried goodness. Chicken to be exact, so I logged on to the fabulous Yelp app and typed in fried chicken near me and low and behold Chicken Valley was what it told me to get. This place is amazing. It has fried chicken, corn dogs, gizzards, chicken on a stick, fried jumbo shrimp, fries, and much much more. Don't expect to find anything healthy here, this place is for days when you just want to be bad and cheat on your diet you're not really on! I went with the 5 jumbo shrimps, a thigh, and some fries. It was all reasonably priced, I think I spend somewhere around $13. The shrimp was crispy just like I like it, and the chicken well I ate the skin first. That's how you know you've got some delicious fried chicken. The service here was friendly and quick. I think I found my new guilty pleasure for work time lunches. Again the taste here is great but do expect a tummy ache after it, but trust me it's worth it in the end! read more

Chicken Valley - So much fried goodness! - Food Stands Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So to preface this, my girlfriend thought her thigh and leg was alright and the conditions that I ate the chicken in were not ideal. We got our food and it took back home which took probably 25 minutes. When I was ordering my food, the first portion came from under the heat lamp, and then the woman behind the counter microwaved more chicken, dropped it for a quick bath in the fryer and then finished off my bag (I probably should've left then). All of the chicken was placed in thin paper bags, inside of a plastic bag. By the time i got home, the paper bags had essentially melted and my strips was soggy and had a slimy texture to the crust, but the meat was still firm and leathery feeling. I reheated my chicken in the oven to try to rectify this. The skin crisped up and it became edible, but the chicken's texture was awful, and the flavor was basically non existent. It was a truly bad experience. Maybe if I was able to eat it immediately it would've been better, but it's not like the place has seating, but it was microwaved chicken. Will not be returning. read more

Rude service, terrible food. How did they get so many good reviews? How can the food be good when the people working it hate their job?

Fried chicken livers and gizzards! Well seasoned bites of umami deliciousness in a bag. 1/2 lb. is like $3.00, and more than plenty of goodness.Great snack to nosh on while perusing the rest of the market. Always a smile and friendly service here. read more

Host: n/a Cashier/Waiter: 1.0 Food-taste, presentation: 3.0 Property-style, decor, ambiance: n/a (Food Booth) The minimum order on the chicken livers is $2 and is sold by weight. read more

Please dont eat this chicken if you expect something better than KFC! Cause this one is worse than that. I was super hungry and this seemed like a good place for chicken but oh man, the chicken had stone hard crust and it was basically tasteless! Just simple plain bland battered chicken is all this is. read more

You Want Fish Too? Right in the heart of Pike Place Market, you have to duck the flying fish to get to the legendary fast-food and poultry supplier - Chicken Valley. While fans of organ meats rave about guts and gizzards - all very tasty I'm sure - Chicken Valley has some of the finest fried fish fillets in the market going on - and batter fried tempura prawns. Choose from light, evanescent but even golden batter with crumbs on steaming fillets of flaking fish, and crispy fluted pale tempura batter on choice jumbo prawns with several sauces from tame/ketchupy to super hot... If you see seafood and you can't wait to take it home and fry it yourself, this is the perfect place to have a nibble of what's next door. Visitors, remember - this is where the locals go for lunch so it MUST be good. The portions are generous, and it's a friendly family owned business - with very quick service. It's clean, the food is made minutes before you eat it - and there's lots of extra napkins in the bag for clean-up. The down side? You probably have to wait in line for that hot fillet. read more

You want cheap fried chicken for lunch and you're roaming the Market this is your place. Their lunch special always seem to be $5.00 and consist of some form of chicken, steamed rice and a canned beverage, if you want ranch or some other sauce they offer to dip your chicken in that's an additional $.50. I like their spicy strips when they are fresh if they've been sitting around for a while they can be a bit soggy and cold which is no bueno. If you like you can buy your fried chicken by the lb with 1/4 lb being the smallest they will sell. If you like fried gizzards they have them too though I'm not a gizzards kind of girl so I have no idea how they taste but people are always munching on them. So like I said if you want cheap fried chicken and you're roaming the Market this is your place just be warned lately things have been a bit on the cold an soggy side for me. read more

Chicken Valley is what it is, it's a decent fried food stand. Don't go here looking for anything else, but if you want fried food that's relatively cheap for the location, it's where to go. That said, since the food is fried ahead of time and sitting under heat lamps it can get a little stale. I had the seafood sampler and the shrimp was good fried shrimp, but I'd stay way from the calamari which was rather tough. read more
