I've been here on two different Saturdays within the past year and walked away as a very happy man both times. Starting with the food, the shrimp and grits are creamy and packed with flavor, the eggs Benedict with bacon has perfectly poached eggs with a zippy crystal hollandaise, the waffle has a satisfying texture and comes with a comforting henny butter, and the best part that ties it all together: GARLIC. AIOLI. I have tasted many garlic aioli in my 28 years of life and this is by far the most delicious garlic aioli around. It's something I can't explain; you need to try it for yourself. With the breakfast potatoes, on the Benedict, in the shrimp and grits, by itself, I don't care, I just need it bottled up ASAP. As for the atmosphere, it's quite cozy and warm as a diner would be. I had to wait around 30 minutes both times I went because it was prime brunch time on Saturday and was fully worth the wait. The service is very welcoming and kind, and there's a good variety of sauces available on each table. They also serve Boon Boona coffee which is a Renton based coffee roaster, and I always love seeing local businesses support other local businesses. Overall, I love everything I've tried from Fat's and will hopefully be lucky enough to experience their food again soon. read more

I have lived in South Seattle for my entire life and have driven by Fat's more times than I can count. Finally had a chance to stop by while waiting for my son's baseball game to start at Garfield. Great atmosphere from the moment you walk in and the type of place that feels like home. We happened to just pop in while happy hour was happening. Ordered chicken and waffles, fried mushrooms, mac & cheese, and a root beer float. Everything was delicious. Fried chicken was super crispy...just how I like it. Price was affordable...which is so appreciated. The good music playing was a bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Go give this small business Some love and enjoy some good food. We will be back! read more

Fat's Fried Chicken & Waffles - Happy Hour Menu - Southern Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I got the fat sampler plate with breakfast potatoes, bacon, eggs, and a honey butter biscuit, and also tried the chicken and waffles. Walking in, the place has a really cozy vibe, but it's pretty small. Tables are close together and seating is limited. The lady who greeted us was super nice and recommended the fat sampler and the chicken and waffles, so we went with that. The food did take a little longer than expected, but honestly it was worth it. The chicken on the chicken and waffles was sooo good!! crispy, flavorful, everything you want. The only downside was the waffles, they were a bit thin and not crispy at all, like a pancake. I'm hoping that was just an off day. She also hyped up the honey butter biscuit since it's what they're known for, and I get why. It was SO good. Definitely the standout for me and something I'd come back for alone. read more

Fat's Fried Chicken & Waffles - Fat's Sampler - Southern Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is such a cool place for brunch. My friend and I must've gone at a good time. It's not the largest restaurant & I imagine it gets very busy, but there was no wait for us. I ordered the chicken & waffles. I wanted to get legs, but unfortunately they'd run out & only had thighs & breasts available that day. No biggie. I just got a thigh with my meal although I prefer legs. (I considered rewording that sentence because it sounds a lil crazy, but I can't think of any other way to word it). Anyway. There was a minor mishap with my friend's food- she'd asked for a chicken breast with her waffle because she doesn't like dark meat, but she was given a thigh. However the staff fixed the issue right away when she brought it up. They apologized & explained that it would take just a few minutes to fry up the new chicken because everything's cooked fresh. It wasn't a big deal & they handled the mistake perfectly. The customer service was great! The chicken was good and the waffle was perfect due to its crispy edges and the delicious honey butter. The ambiance is top-tier. We loved the decor & the personal touches around the restaurant such as family photos & flyers for community events. My friend & I talked about how good the playlist was. It was a mix of soul & R&B music. This is a vibrant & delicious Black-owned spot that did not disappoint. read more

I got the honey butter chicken sandwich here after the meal, i have to say i have a pretty positive impression. this came as a fried chicken breast sandwiched between two large biscuits, both drenched in honey butter The biscuits were excellent for the most part - they were baked enough to be just slightly crunchy on the outside, but the inside was marvelous. It was crumbly, broke apart so easily, and tasted so soft. The biscuits were smothered with a honey butter mixture, that was very sweet. This was generally good, but I think there was too much honey, therefore the sweetness. I would've preferred a mixture that was mostly focused on butter with a little bit of honey. The sweetness tasted good at first, but towards the end it began to get a little tiring. The biscuits were so sticky it was impossible to eat this as a sandwich - you had to eat it with a fork and knife The chicken was quite good - especially when it came to the seasoning and how well it was breaded. The breading was a deep brown, which indicates how well it was fried. The seasoning was mildly spicy, and I wish it would've been slightly more so to counteract the flavor of the sweet biscuits, but not too many complaints there. I should also mention that I would've preferred thigh over breast when it came to the choice of meat, as while not overcooked, I can't say the inside was especially flavorful I also got the grits as a side - and they were pretty good. Nothing too special, as a bit one-note, but not bad I did appreciate how warm this came out, though For the price of about $20 in total, I thought it wasn't too unreasonable. Definitely quite filling read more

Fat's Fried Chicken & Waffles - Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit Sandwich - Southern Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were out and about today, and decided to put in an online order to Fat's Chicken and Waffles for pick up. The online ordering process was quick and easy. For those not familiar, Fat's is a southern style spot featuring fried chicken and other down South hits. The restaurant occupies the former location of the once renowned Catfish Corner at Cherry and MLK in the Central District. Since we are pescatarians, we went with oyster and shrimp plates and added waffles as sides. The plates also came with a salad. Our seafood choices were nicely breaded and well seasoned, and the waffles were great! We only wish the seafood portion size was larger. The shrimp were a good size, just wished there were more of them. Same with the oysters. We will definitely check Fat's out again! read more

A pleasure as always eating at Fat's. The vibes are always 100, with a good hip hop playlist going. I was able to sit down immediately, at the bar under the windows. If you have a bigger party, you might have to wait! They only have a handful of larger tables. The staff is friendly, and service is quick!! They serve boona coffee, which is a local black owned coffee company, and It's excellent coffee. I usually get the chicken and waffles, and I like to add a side of the andouille gravy to dip my chicken in and balance out the sweet from the syrup and henny butter. Their drinks are also great if you're feeling alcohol, I love the g&g, a classic!! If you like shrimp and grits, this is a great place to get them. Plenty of street parking around. read more

Beyond amazing! From their service to their food, everything was impeccable. Street parking is easy enough to find. They have a really efficient service and wait times feel super quick. They were packed when we came in a Saturday for brunch, but makes sense with their delicious food. We got seated almost right away for a table to 2. We got the chicken and waffle and honey butter chicken biscuit with fries. Our order was out pretty quickly and portion sizes are generous and prices are good. I inhaled the food so quick, and it was truly a hit. My partner thought the waffle was ok. I will definitely be back here!! Thank you for the amazing food! read more

this is one of my new favorite places in Seattle for brunch. The food is realllly good. I really enjoyed the chicken it was cooked super well. The only downside for the chicken and waffles was the waffle was kind of small and sad compared to some of the massive waffles I e seen elsewhere. But together it still tasted great. The food was also super filling so you'll leave super satisfied :) The owner was so nice, the service was patient and helpful and they brought out the food fairly quickly given how busy they usually are. The interior is what you'd expect, there's a good amount of seating and tables turnover relatively quickly. We came on a Sunday for brunch as a party of 2 and didn't have to wait. Parking was a bit tough you kind of have to get lucky with street parking and the streets are a bit sketch. read more

While visiting Seattle, I visited Fat's, It's a cozy little spot, but be prepared to wait a bit, on busy days. The seating area is not that big. They'll text you when you're ready to be seated. The ambiance inside is great. They have a playlist playing, and the decor is stylish and inviting. You can also watch the games or TV on a projection screen. The menu is good, with some chicken and waffle options, different entrées and alcoholic beverages. The food was delicious! The chicken breasts are juicy and well-seasoned, and the waffles are fluffy and crispy. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. They're coming up on 10 years in business, and they've been serving up delicious chicken and waffles for years. read more

Fat's is in a part of town I've never been to. Quaint spot on the corner of the block. Fairly easy to find street parking. First time was on Sunday before a Seahawks game and the wait was too long for us to make it in time for the game. Took my wife back a week later during the week. Staff were very sweet, warm and welcoming. The decor was intriguing in that it paid homage to the local neighborhood and culture. Couldn't help but look around the entire time. The shrimp and grits was perfect. The sauce on the grits took a second to hit and once it did.....oh boy. Incredibly flavorful. Punchy but once it settles, SO good. Wifey's honey butter biscuit chicken was great. It had the perfect amount of honey to not overwhelm the dish. The chicken was moist and great amount of crisp. The biscuit was fluffy and moose and crispy in all the right places. The pancakes was somewhat reminiscent of The Waffle House in the south. Sweet Tea had the perfect sweetness and I like it SWEET. DEFINITELY gotta go back and try other dishes. read more

Fat's Fried Chicken & Waffles has been on my hit list since moving to the city. After numerous tries and an almost 40-minute wait on a Sunday morning it was time to cross it off. Came here with a buddy who lives in the neighborhood. Tempted to stray from the titular menu item, I went with the Chicken & waffles - which has an option of fried chicken breast, thigh, or legs. Served with Henny Butter & syrup. I got the thigh. To start we shared a carafe of Mimosa which was nice. The waffle to be honest is similar to Roscoes which is thin style (Maybe a west coast thing?) waffle with lots of little ridges. I'm not particularly a fan but it pairs well with the chicken which on the other hand was delicious. I also got gravy, which is an extra $4 but was worth it. My buddy got the biscuit sandwich which got a thumbs up from him, though the biscuit looked a bit burnt to me. Service was prompt and friendly but not very engaging - I chalk it up to it being pretty busy. I'd try here again to get a taste that southern comfort food I miss and with a varied set of options on the menu that makes it easy. I'd give Fats a 3.5/5. read more

This place always hits the spot for waffle and biscuits. The honey butter biscuit is so bomb with the fried chicken. The fried chicken def has some herbiness to it so the flavor stands out. It's sometimes easier eating alone here than with a group as the seating is tight. The prices have gone up but it's still good and I saw they have a weekday happy hour. Recommend for brunch! read more

FATS IS THE UNDISPUTED SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN CHAMPION OF SEATTTTLLLLLLEEEEE!!!! Full stop! I've been hearing and hearing about fats for years. And my wife and I along with some best friends finally made the time to dine in at Fats. The vibe was on point, the eggs Benedict with the bacon, biscuit & fried green tomatoes... AMAZING. The honey biscuit chicken in gravy sandwich... that's right... ON FN POINT!!! Moscow mule was perfection! All to say is that this is clearly the best southern food you can get. I know there's another spot but will cost you an arm and a leg and you can never get in. So for me... it's Fats!!! JUST GO! :) read more

Was craving some biscuits but Biscuits Bitch was closed by the time we arrived. After a few searches, I found this spot where many were raving about the biscuits, and I haven't had soul food in awhile so this all sounds great! We were starving and couldn't wait to dig in! I will say the biscuits were amazing - they were buttery and had honey flavor to it. But unfortunately this was the only thing that was good on their menu :( My husband son and I all got the chicken and waffles -- the waffles were ok, definitely reminded me of Roscoe's chicken, but the chicken were very under seasoned. It was actually really crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside but very bland, so definitely needed hot sauce! The cornbread was super dry, we barely took a bite of it, unfortunately we had ordered two so a huge waste. The Mac n cheese was very cheesy but similar to the chicken, lacked flavor. Their collard greens tasted like it came from a can. The service was not great.. I felt super rushed and she just didn't come off really friendly, IMO. The server messed up our order, which wasn't a big deal at all but topped with the lack of flavor within the food and the person who took our orders, I was just over it. Maybe we came on a bad day -- Thursday at 4.30pm read more

One of my friends has been wanting to take me here for a long time ever since we've had trouble coming here when it wasn't overly busy, so I was happy to be able to have it although I did go alone this time. This was on a Saturday evening at around 6:15pm, and I got seated near one of the windows facing the street. I definitely felt like I was in a casual cafe setting here, and I heard a ton of throwback millennial hip-hop through the speakers while dining here. For this visit, I got their titular chicken and waffles, which comes with two pieces of chicken breasts, thighs or legs. I got the last chicken breast for the day, so I was able to have a thigh for my second piece. The waffles were just all right though they were a little sweeter than I expected especially when adding the syrup. But the chicken was the real winner here; so delicious, so juicy and so crispy too! It was even steaming hot when the plate came to my table! Food here did take a while to come out though; I waited a solid 25 minutes even though the place wasn't particularly packed. Service was also a little sporadic, like when I asked for a to-go box but didn't get one and left it at that since I was in a rush to get to an event. I might have eaten here alone but this was such a great place to have after wanting to try it for so long. Great recommend, though I'd prepare to wait quite a while for food. read more

Came in at prime brunch time - Saturday around 11 am. Waited 45 mins after putting our name down since they don't have a reservation system as far as I know Then we ordered and had to wait nearly 45 minutes as well but WORTH IT Honestly the chicken and waffles (which is what they're known for) was lacking. The chicken piece is small and nothing to write home about. It comes with honey butter and maple syrup, but the waffle was limp. I'd skip out on that and go straight for the honey butter chicken biscuit and shrimp and grits. Biscuit is so soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of honey butter. It pairs well with the spices on the chicken thigh which was juicy and SO good. Will be coming back despite the insane wait read more

As a gluten free vegetarian, I never really planned on coming here. Once word got to me that they have award winning shrimp and grits, I changed my tune. I have heard amazing things about Fat's, just had no idea they catered to my dietary needs! The place is simple but feels like home. Creative wall art, big windows, and friendly staff making their rounds and filling up everyone's sweet tea. We ordered a bunch of stuff to really try everything out. No surprise, the shrimp and grits were out of this world. Best I have ever had, no doubt in my mind. They had so much flavor and a phenomenal texture. I have to have them again. The veggie omelette was creative and had a fun twist. Loved the corn, grilled onions, and green onions. This added so much flavor and a southern feel. The french fry poutine with pimento cheese was also to die for. My boyfriend loved the crusty, creamy mac and cheese bowl, thought the wings were fantastic, and of course devoured the chicken and waffles. The staff were just as delightful as the food and we were grateful to even get to thank the owner in person. This is such an important part of the community and a must try. read more

Fat's Fried Chicken & Waffles is located in the Central District. We arrived at 5:30pm on a Saturday. Street parking was easy enough. The restaurant is clean and roomy with plenty of tables. The tables were half occupied, with a regular flow of take-out orders. Music jammed but not too loud. We chose our table and scanned a QR code to see the menu. Service was friendly. The bathroom is clean. Food wise, we didn't have as much luck as the many other reviews here. The Food: Seafood Sampler, $24 - 3 Stars Consisting of shaved catfish, oysters, and shrimp, there is a choice of salad or fries. Hubby wanted fries. My first bite was a shrimp. It was very salty, without adding any dipping sauce. The oyster and catfish pieces are more reasonable, less salty, but my taste buds were ruined by then. Everything tasted a bit salty. Their fries are cut slim, closer to McD type of size, but not shoestring fries. Fried Oyster (Sandwich), $22 - 3.5 Stars They offer an option of sandwich with choice of 1 side or a plate (protein only) with choice of 2 sides. Hubby opted for the sandwich with choice of fried mushrooms. The sandwich had a better balance of salt because of the bread. Better experience overall. Fried Green Tomatoes (side dish), $6 - 3 Stars For this side dish, we can see the coating/breading clearly, which is a bit uneven. The outside is crispy (good). I personally prefer a thicker slice of tomatoes that I have had elsewhere. We both were expecting a better experience based on the reviews. Maybe we need to order different dishes in the future. read more

Everything was seasoned well. The chicken and the waffles were crispy how I like it. The sausage gravy was my favorite! The service was fast and to the point! I'd recommend you know what you want before you arrive! I was impressed at how efficiently they were taking orders, making drinks, and checking people out. The restaurant is design for its purpose. A fast casual place. The room is filled with pictures of history and culture. Seating is limited, so get there early! Pricing is absolutely reasonable and you get what you pay for! While the cuisine is quite traditional, the history of the restaurant and the story of the owners is very interesting! read more

The honey butter chicken sandwich was so much better than I had imagined. Usually biscuits are so dry to me but because the biscuit is soaked in honey butter it was really moist. The chicken was also nice and crispy and not dry. The regular sandwich was also good esp w the gravy, but honey butter is better imo. Their potatoes are also fairly good for just potatoes Popular place so be prepared to wait if dining in! read more

From the honey butter biscuit breakfast sandwich to the fried green tomatoes, every bite was absolutely incredible. This is hands down some of the best comfort food I've ever had. The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and the overall vibe made it feel like a warm, welcoming spot you just want to keep coming back to.

We went here with friends, not expecting they would have much for us as vegetarians, but they were super amenable. Not only did they have good options on the normal menu, but our friend recommended the BLT so we got that and they substituted the bacon with fried green tomato. The sandwich felt fresh and flavorful and worked well with the hot suaces they had. It took a bit to come out but that is because they make everything there so it takes time. Worth the wait. They are also super friendly as well. I think they could single handedly break the seattle freeze if given the chance. Overall a great spot for a southern bite which is not something you would find in seattle elsewhere read more

I was on the hunt to find the perfect place to take my husband for his birthday lunch. He had been craving fried fish and red beans and rice and so it seemed Fats Fried Chicken was the perfect choice. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and seated. We arrived a little after two and lucky for us we found out they had happy hour from 2-5. Sides were a discounted, happy hour food specials and they had a few drink specials. After we ordered our meal, we were moved to a bigger table to accommodate our food choices. We were originally seated at a two seat table and moved to a 4 seat table. I loved the assortment of hot sauces available. It's not something you typically see and I appreciated the endless options. When eating fried chicken and fried fish, it's always good to have your favorite hot sauce. The real winner was their homemade vinegar sauce. Red Beans and Rice 4/5 it was stacked full of flavor with was rich and thick. Once mixed with the rice, it was the perfect. The smokiness from the Hancock came through perfectly too. The real game changer for me was the pickled pork added in. It really balanced the dish, helping to break up the heaviness that red beans and rice can have. Because we ordered so much food, we had leftovers and the red beans and rice heated up nicely the day and it was even better. Naked chicken wings 5/5 Came out piping hot and for baked wings were delicious. They were seasoned with a house seasoning I believe and just plain old good. There was a slight batter on the wings too. Added a little extra crunch. Cornbread 10/5 it was insanely good. Drenched in a sweet butter sauce. And the cornbread itself very traditional. Not too heavy on the cake side which some people enjoy but I want the real deal. I'd order the cornbread by the dozen if I could. Fried Catfish 4/5 I loved it more my than my husband. He wanted a little more seasoning but I thought it was perfect since I add hot sauce anyways. It was coated and battered perfectly. The pieces were a nice size and hot and fresh. I'd definitely come back for their catfish too. Fried oyster sandwich 4/5 the oysters were big and plump and juicy on the sandwich. The bread was toasted and smeared with a tartar sauce. The tomatoes and lettuce were fresh. A solid sandwich. Mac and Cheese 3.5/5 it was good Mac and cheese with traditional macaroni. It was seasoned and cheesy and not oily at all. But for me, I felt it was good but didn't wow me or my husband in any way. Service 5/5 they were friendly and accommodating without being overbearing. We were able to enjoy our meal. The restaurant is small to medium size and if they get busy, I can see why there may be a small wait. They do have high top seating at the window. We can't wait to come back. I gotta get that chicken and biscuit sandwich next time. read more

Everything about Fat's was a great experience for my family and I. I highly recommend checking out Fats, located in Seattles Central District neighborhood. The service was amazing, led by the owner Erika. She and the staff were hospitable and kind. She even came by our table to share stories with my parents. I ordered the honey butter biscuit chicken sandwich with fries. It was one of the best chicken sandwiches that I have had. The chicken was juicy, breading was great, the biscuit was a little dense but still good, and the honey butter put it over the top. The fries were thin and crispy, very good. Don't even get me started on the sweet tea, a perfect combo for the meal. One last thing, they close between lunch and dinner so be sure to check their hours before heading over. read more

One of my some favorite spots in Seattle. He requests their honey butter chicken sandwich monthly! Those biscuits are quite good, I can see why. The chicken is a big juicy fried cutlet. Very well made and very flavorful- it's a lot for me, so typically a lunch and snack , while it's just a good sized sandwich for him. I also love their fried green tomatoes- have to have them hot and fresh out. It's small inside but plenty of space to sit east and move around to the needed amenities. It makes for a cozy community feeling in this black owned establishment. The greens aren't my favorite so it's the only thing I had here that I wouldn't necessarily recommend but everything else will be devoured! read more
