    What a place in Redmond downtown and always was on List to try . The place have good vibes with a music on background . Service was quick I would say we got burger in like 10 mins after order from kiosk. Food was amazing, we took chocolate shake which was to die for.

    I got the 2 Tender + Fries combo and overall it was really good. The seasoning was on point with a nice kick, but the chicken itself was a little dry. Still enjoyable, just wish it had a bit more juiciness. Solid spot if you're craving spicy fried chicken! My boyfriend got the slider and tender combo and although his was delicious, i wish they added just a bit more veggies on the sandwich to mellow out the seasoning!

    I heard about this place and decided to try it, so I drove all the way from Lynnwood to the Redmond location. When I arrived, the restaurant was very difficult to find. I walked around for about 10 minutes before finally locating it. When I went to the counter to pick up my order, I was told that my order had actually been placed at Pike Place. I had used the app and selected Redmond as my location, so I reasonably assumed I was ordering from Redmond. I explained the situation to the staff. One woman, who had her back turned toward customers the entire time and was focused on the kitchen, told me I would need to go to Pike Place to pick up my order. Pike Place is about 30 minutes from Redmond, and my final destination was already another 30 minutes away. I had also already driven 25 minutes just to get to Redmond. I explained that going to Pike Place was not an option, but she stated that it was my only option and suggested I reorder through the app. Reluctantly, I pulled up the app again. Even when selecting Redmond, the app continued to default to Pike Place. I showed this to the staff, and I also heard multiple customers outside expressing the same issue -- they were unable to place an order for the Redmond location through the app. After showing the issue again, I was told to reorder anyway. Once I placed the new order, I waited nearly another hour. I arrived in Redmond at 8:37 PM and was still there at 9:45 PM. The one bright spot was a young woman named Cathlina. She was very kind, sincere, and genuinely apologetic. She helped me place another order and repeatedly apologized to customers for the long wait times. She handled the situation with professionalism and empathy and never appeared frustrated, unlike the other woman who seemed to be in charge. Cathlina demonstrated leadership and customer service that far exceeded expectations -- she should be the manager. Overall, the experience was extremely frustrating due to app issues, long wait times, poor communication, and lack of accountability from management. If not for Cathlina, this experience would have been entirely negative

    We were pleasantly surprised and impressed at the food quality and taste. There're 7 different spice levels, we got lite-mild and it wasn't spicy at all, but still very flavorful! We pass by Dave's alot and always see a long line, but we went on a weekday evening and there was no wait. I did read reviews that they don't give free water cups but when we went they were giving out free slurpie samples!

    I love Dave's hot chicken. I'm glad they opened up a spot in Redmond. Location is spacious but just wished they have more parking spaces. My go to order is the chicken tender, a slider, and fries with medium heat. It always hits the spot. Line is long but goes by quickly. Service was excellent and they also give you free slush samples.

    Kept getting recommended this place since it opened and finally tried it out. Probably the best chicken I've had in Redmond! Super delicious and filling portions! I got the medium thinking it would be spicier than it was. Next time I'll have to try a higher spice level for sure! Very clean, decorated location right downtown! The staff are kind and helpful as well. 10/10

    Unfortunately I had to update my review to three stars only due to the service issue. I ordered using the app last Sunday and o had to wait close to 50 minutes for my food to pickup in a very crowded place and a long line of people. Then to find out I got my food with no spices instead of being a medium heat ? I feel that I got stock after paying on the app and I had no choice but to waste my time and wait. ?!!! They need to do something about the service asap and it should not take more than 15 minutes to 20 minutes to pick up an order. It was a truly a waste of my evening.

    Alright so we gave this place another shot since we FINALLY found street parking to walk in this establishment . We decided to order the #4 combo with a chicken sandwich and tender (hot spicy). The hot spice level had good flavor but man for me personally it packed some heat. We asked for water since we didn't want any soda other other drinks they offered. Unfortunately they said that they didn't serve water, so bring your own water bottle if you come here! Food was decent, the price overall was a bit pricey, and the only disappointing thing is they didn't serve water.

    First time in a while having Dave's Hot Chicken and I missed it. Chicken is very tender, sauce is very good, and it's full of flavor. Ordered on a self serve Kiosk which honestly made things a little easier, but staff was still very kind and efficient. Plenty of seating inside and my girlfriend and I were able to enjoy a nice meal with plenty of table space. I will be back!

    Great chicken sandwiches! Loved the amount of spice for the medium and hot. The spicy honey bites were fantastic. The line was long in a Sunday afternoon for lunch and the wait was able 30 minutes given how busy it was. Seating is limited. The service was great. Very helpful and patient with how busy it was.

    Came here late after with friends, closer now, so no more Seattle, good amount of street parking. Food is solid, good as Seattle, but inside is small and it could get crowded!

    Fresh and tasty burgers! Worth the wait! It was my first time and really wanted to try after watching YouTube about it

    Pretty bomb chicken I came on a Saturday one of the more busy days the week and the wait was fine but it was worth it for the chicken perfect dry based seasoning as well the fries where pretty good 10/10 would come again!

    Pretty good. Kind of a gritty mouthfeel to the chicken. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be. A little off putting.

The husband ordered a home style with cheese and made it a meal by adding fries & a drink for $5.49. He was a little taken back by how little fries they gave for the meal. My chicken wings came out super hot and fresh. They were crispy and juicy. But the medium for me was barely spice. However, I do have a pretty high level for spicy food. I did give my husband a wing and he didn't complain at all of the heat. I definitely would have went up a heat level but I did enjoy the flavor. The pickles were thick and crunchy and had the perfect tang. My husband let me have a bite of his sandwich and it was quite delicious. The bread was toasted and buttery. The battered chicken breast was crispy and juicy. So moist and tender to the bite but the crisp to the battered crust on it was perfectly done. We purchased a side of fries and the crimson to go for my son. We thought a full order of fries would be more than the amount of fries my husband got with his sandwich but it wasn't. Kind of disappointing to pay that much for $6 fries. Overall the food was solid. The restaurant was bright and clean. And service was good. We would definitely come back.

Our family took advantage of the chicken's ability to maintain their crispiness, even for carry-out. It was OK, though a little confusing. Once we settled on KFC for dinner, our hosts (daughter and son-in-law) suggested carryout from 'The Third Place', which was a little out of the way from where we were. It is the Third restaurant opened by the owner, all Seattle area locations known for her KFC (Shin Sung Korean restaurant with Underground Kitchen and the since closed Yeon's Chicken). The chicken was ordered beforehand, and because it is prepared fresh when ordered, it took a bit of time for the order to be complete. There is a limited amount of sauce choices, so we chose Honey Garlic ($23.99) and the classic Yangnyum ($23.99), both marked as Whole Chicken size. Also a side order of french fries ($7.99) completed the order. The fries were good: nice and hot, heavily battered potatoes, providing a nice amount of carbs to go with the fried chicken. The chicken came with pickled radish (chicken-mu) which for me is a must, and it was good. In terms of the chicken, they were all wings, which isn't what I expected: getting the breast and thigh pieces chopped into bite-size pieces, battered and sauced, is what makes it KFC, vs all wings which is more like a Buffalo wing restaurant. So we still got the expected 14 pieces, but they were all wings (flats and drums). I thought the sauces were fine (intentionally ordered mild), and the chicken did maintain a crunch (though not as shattering as the best we've had).

I suggested fast-casual, and he promptly discovered Coastline Burgers like he'd uncovered a hidden gem. Meanwhile, I had a flashback to a fancy dinner here with my husband back in 2008 in the Historic Stone House of Redmond--so clearly, we were both feeling nostalgic and hungry. First win: **parking.** In downtown Redmond. A true miracle. Second win: the vibe--warm, welcoming, cozy, and matched perfectly by genuinely friendly staff.

But unfortunately, just like when I first tried Coastline Burgers in Kirkland, I thought it was A-O-K. Some positives of Coastline Burgers are that there's dedicated parking right by the building, is centrally located to the park, Redmond Town Center and other businesses downtown, and the friendly staff and outdoor seating. Again, the stone house building that Coastline snagged is truly a win for the place since it's one of the few historic buildings still standing in the area. But when it comes down to the actual food, the reason why you come here, I can't say I was all that jazzed. I ordered the classic burger with an extra patty, fries and a side of ranch. Is it weird that the best part of my meal was their house-made ranch? I know my ranches, and this one slaps. It's zesty, creamy and flavorful, which is what you need for dipping. This made the skinny fries all the more tolerable. However, I should say that in general, I'm not a fan of skinny fries where you need to grab a bunch to chomp on. But they're decent. They were crispy and freshly fried, so that was cool. But the burger was the biggest disappointment. I think the bun to beef ratio was off, tasting more of the dry bun than anything else. The beef itself was not bad, but wish it was just a tad more seasoned, especially to cut through the dry bun. But it was juicy and not well-done, which I liked, including my dog! Overall, for getting a burger in downtown Redmond in a casual spot where you don't have to wine and dine, Coastline Burgers is one of the few options to do so, if not the only one...question mark? If you're willing to spend more and not in a hurry, I'd recommend walking over to one of the restaurants around that serves a quality burger.

    Great place when you're craving Hainanese Chicken…read more I had the combo chicken rice, which comes with your lighter Hainanese chicken and fried chicken. The Hainanese chicken was so tender and almost pure. It had depth and complemented the chicken fat infused rice. It's a nice balance and you can dip sauce into it if you like more intense flavors. I also liked the fried chicken because it had more texture to a tender dish and I found it nice to go back and forth. We also tried the noodles and it was decent and had a slow burn (spicy) to it but i like the rice dishes the best. The combo chicken was more than enough food for me - I left very full.

Also, I noticed their floor were extremely greasy and slippery. They put down black rugs in main walkways , but on the way to the restroom was without and I almost slip and fell. They really need a deep clean to their floor, or someone might fall for real.

The waffle fries are consistently crispy and hold up well even if you're taking it to go, which is rare. We also tried the chicken wrap and the mac dish, and both were solid. Generous portions too -- you're definitely not leaving hungry (pun intended). The staff was friendly and the order came out fast. It is a little expensive but what place isn't now a days? Whether you're eating in or ordering delivery, the quality stays on point. So glad the Kirkland location is right up the road. If you haven't been yet, just go. You won't regret it

For a group of four adults with a normal hungry, we ordered a small beef set and fried chicken, which was plenty. The banchan was fantastic, especially the Myungranjut. The meat quality was outstanding for a K-BBQ place, and the service was superb. Our server proactively replaced the grill grate to make sure no burnt bits remained! The vibe is casual enough but can be also formal enough for a date. Needless to say, I left a very generous tip.

    We thought they only had BBQ but was to happy to realize they have many other food on the menu…read more Banchans were good, you can request to not have spicy sauce on the broccoli ... the fish cake Banchan was devoured by my 5 year old and she's usually picky. Steamed eggs came out looking amazing (haven't seen it like this before) but was on the dry side; to each their own but we like it more brothy like Chicken wings were ok not great... the dish I didn't expect much from was the fried rice but it turned out to be the best dish!! Not because it's just "better than the other dishes" but it was truly amazing, it just had a great taste to it! Soup was yummy too and came with clear noodles Proportions are to the smaller size making prices a bit high but banchans were refilled quickly. Recommend because their food had its own special taste/ dishes that you will remeber it by. Was a fun place to eat and staff was friendly!
