We had not been to S/T Hooligans in some time and recently went for dinner. Christina, a new server, was absolutely wonderful--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal and added such a warm touch to our experience. Good food, good atmosphere and great service from start to finish! read more

We stumbled upon this place while running errands in the area and were so happy we gave it a try. The restaurant is tiny but packs a punch. They have a tiny parking lot in the back, otherwise, street parking is an option. The food was absolutely delicious, DELICIOUS. Packed with flavor, it came out fresh, hot, and quick. Like super quick. Think we waited maybe 5 minutes tops. You really come here for the meal because wow. The meat slid off the bone, the gumbo was perfectly seasoned, and the dessert was yum, yum. The service was also super excellent. Our server was on it. He was lightning quick and perceptive, letting you know where to get spoons or offering things you hadn't even thought of. We were impressed. Maybe this is why they were packed the weekday night we went. Even when one rush left, another one took its place only a few minutes later. They have live jazz, blues, and other types of shows here, so we'll try to catch one next time. My only critique was the lights. They use bright white hospital lights that are a little blinding, and I kind of wish they had more ambient lighting, but that's just a me thing. read more

Been here 3 times now over the course of a couple years and every time they are consistently great. The chicken is perfectly seasoned (any of their three flavors), piping hot, and crispy exterior. Easily one of the best fried chicken spots in Seattle. This last visit we got a couple dishes and sides. The southern combo plate came with gumbo, cole slaw, and hush puppies. All were good. The side of hot honey was also nice to break up flavors if you got bored. The fried spiseattle wings came with pickles and Mac salad. I preferred the sauce that the wings came with over the awesome original. Not too spicy, still crunchy chicken. Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked and fries were nice and thin. All throughout the meal, our water cups never went down past halfway. Food came out pretty quickly and was lively but not so loud we couldn't hear ourselves. Definitely on our rotation of favorite spots for date nights. read more

Damn that was good! The menu is a really unique fusion of Asian and Creole flavors with "elevated comfort food". Everything we tried was packed with flavor, from the gumbo and wings to the lumpia and fried chicken. And the tamarindo margarita... easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfect balance of sweet, tart, spicy, and smoky. Hard recommendation read more

We love the food here! We stop by when we have a hankering for the fried chicken. We got the 8 piece combo fried chicken - half spicy & half original. I love their Brussel sprouts and bread pudding. There is something for everyone here and it's all good! I would try more things, but I really like their fried chicken. They also have a good HH menu. Service is friendly and fantastic. The place is always hopping and they play great music. read more

We come here on the regular and always find the food and service consistently excellent. Vibe is like being at 'Cheers' (if you know the reference ) where it has a feel of familiarity every time. You can tell who the regulars are because they just make themselves at home! Yesterday they celebrated 7 years in business and we got to try one of their anniversary menu items: Chamorro fiesta plate. The regular menu is so good it's hard to choose a favorite but I recommend you always try whatever special is offered. A lot of thought and effort seem to go into them. And, the bread pudding... a must! Make room even if you're full (haha) or take it to go. I don't know why it took me a minute to put in a review but this place is on regular rotation for us. read more

Gumbo. Dropped in first time on a Wednesday afternoon 2:20pm. Two customers entered before me and that constitutes the clientele right now, same count as the staff. Music is Boston, Cure, Pretenders, not too loud. Ambience is nice, a little dark but not cave. Asked if the gumbo is spicy, she said a bit but not too much. Now I'm 1/4 into the bowl and it is chunky delicious but more than a bit spicy. Maybe three stars Indian food spicy. Again, delicious chunky goodness but a bit more spice than I can take. Packing to go, son will love it! read more

Holy fkuc finally some good fkucin food WHOOSH. Holy shiz. Do yourself a favor and come here. If you like spicy food, like for real, get the Caribbean Jerk Wings. You're also gonna get a cornmeal waffle and you're gonna dip the waffle in the wing sauce. I just experienced the rapture. Vibes of the place are incredible too. Service was minimal but good enough. It's a QR code based ordering system so you're not really interacting with servers much. read more

I heard this place to be one of Seattle's underrated spots so had to come try out their menu for brunch. Walking in and quickly greeted (I was the first customer of the day though). The owner Rodel came to explain the expansive menu with Southern/Creole, Guam, and Hawaii inspired flavors. The bar menu is awesome too with housemade brews (guessing kombucha). We ordered their lumpia, southern combo, fried chicken & cornbread waffles, and gumbo loco. The fried chicken here is phenomenal even the breast piece was juicy. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and well cooked. Definitely want to come back to try the rest of the menu. For dessert, we tried their tiramisu and seasonal bread pudding. Highly recommend getting both! I'm curious how it is during the summer for their patio space. read more

Service is bar service where the bartender takes your card when you walk inside and ask for your order and if you want to close out. Seating inside is limited and outside patio covered is ok. You might see a group with a dog or two on the patio!! Ambiance is nothing special and bathrooms are clean. Food is cajun spiced! Chicken dishes good and very hot. Gangsta gumbo was ok. Cajun spiced mussels were good. The mac and cheese had hair in it. Host forgot to put in our order for Cajun mussels when we mentioned to him was the reason we came in the first place! They ran out of oysters! Mussels had a strong taste you may not like if you are not fully into cajun spice and flavor. French singing band showed up which was sorta unique. Draft Beer was not that great. No parking street parking. read more

Don't be fooled by the name S/T Hooligan's! Although they serve great bar food in proper Hooligan fashion, the owner has roots in the Philippines and some of the dishes served here pays homage to Filipino food. I was lucky enough to eat here last night for dinner where their popular Filipino Pork Shank Kare-Kare w/ Garlic Rice was available to order as their rotating special menu item. It's large enough to split with another person so we did that and also paid extra to add a few pieces of their yummy Lumpia Bihon. We also ordered a plate of Caribbean Jerk Chicken Wings. You bet we were feasting. I was in food heaven!!! What an awesome way to start the week and to know that I can get a little Filipino food fix on at this wonderful small business establishment. Thank you for the warm and welcoming hospitality. I'll definitely be back! :-) read more

We stopped by on our first night in town. The restaurant had a few patrons dining, offering a lot of open seating. We selected our seats and placed an order at the bar. The menu was pretty varied, but apparently they are known for their fried chicken. Of course I didn't order their chicken. I ordered a burrito and fries. My fella ordered a chicken sandwich. The fries were delicious. They were loaded with rosemary which I looked, but my fella thought was a bit much. The chicken sandwich was loaded with goodies, and honestly, I'm not even sure what was in it, but it was delicious. The burrito was giant and immediately fell apart. This was okay because the bean and rice filling was yummy. The salsas and sauces were amazing. Everything was really good and the staff were super friendly. read more

Stopped by for dinner with two friends on a Monday. We opted for outdoor seating on patio. Indoor seating was barstools in a typical bar setting. Staff was no frills - neutral, but attentive. Since it was Monday, there was a $10 marg special, but unfortunately no HH food specials :( However, the HH food deals looked very good! Monday ($10 margs) 4-9pm Tuesday (food + drink) 4-9pm Wednesday - Sunday (food + drink) 1-6pm Thursday (drinks) 6-9pm We ordered the jalapeno hush puppies, fried chicken and waffles, jambalaya, and a few beers/margs. Everything was amaaaazing - hush puppies fried balls of deliciousness (great sweetness from honey). Fried chicken was sooo good - crispy, flavorful, and juicy. Waffle was fine, but helped with cutting the richness of the fried chicken - not mandatory, but complementary! Jambalaya was good, but patches of dry rice, but very well-seasoned. Overall, delicious meal, and wouldn't hesitate to come back (especially for happy hour) ! read more

Stopped by after a winning Mariners game just in time for Happy Hour. we always get the Lumpia cause it's delicious comes out hot and it's a generous serving. We tried a couple of items we hadn't tried before the Cajun Mussels and the Roasted Adobo Pork Sandwich. Both were delicious but we especially enjoyed the mussels broth and were thankful for the thick pieces of toasted bread to dip in the sauce. Staff and the fermented cocktails are always great! Rodel makes you feel so welcome. read more

Had a long day and wanted something flavorful for dinner. Plenty of parking in their lot, staff was quick to seat us, and great service. We brought our dog and sat outside! You do have to go inside an order but server takes care of everything else. Ordered lumpia, gumbo, and hush puppies first but then decided to order their fried chicken as well and glad that we did. Lumpia was very good with both sauces. Hush puppies were a little sweet but very crunchy and inside was moist. Gumbo was probably my least favorite but I usually like seafood gumbo more than chicken and sausage! Fried chicken was very good, crunchy, juicy inside, flavorful, and the sides were very good as well. Helped balance out everything. read more

I have always skipped over this place because for some reason my brain assumed it was an Irish pub based on the name... Well I was totally missing out! This is a new favorite. Love the fried chicken, brussel sprouts with aoli are crazy good, hushpuppies ...deeelicious! Chicken and cornbread waffle...mashed potatoes...coleslaw...mac salad. This guy knows how to dial in really good tasting food. We've gone two weeks in a row since our first visit and highly recommend if you have not been there. . And the name comes from a Smiths song...not my rowdy Irish peeps. read more

Really enjoyed myself. Came because the menu mentioned they had good fried chicken and they didn't disappoint. I had the jerk fried chicken and they got the jerk flavor just right (for me). I also had the fried Brussels sprouts and they came out perfect too. Definitely coming back to try more things. read more

S/T Hooligans is a household favorite! S/T rates superb for amazing customer service, atmosphere/location, menu selections, and quality/taste of food! My husband and I ordered a variety of items based off of Yelp reviews, and EVERYTHING was EXCELLENT! Who would have thought adding golden raisins in Brussel sprouts, and orange zest in jalapeño hush puppies would just work; making those tastebuds dance. My son loves the cornbread waffle and mac salad. The parking lot is directly beside the restaurant, and if you don't want to sit outside (each table has a fire pit) and have children you can go to play arcade games. We will definitely return, and highly recommend! read more

Super delicious southern / creole food!! We enjoyed all the food we got and I'm really glad we finally tried this place. We got the fried chicken and waffles, side of gumbo, and surf and turf jambalaya (which was a special). All the dishes were so tasty! The gumbo was really flavorful and perfectly spiced. The surf and turf jambalaya had perfectly cooked pork chop and Cajun shrimp, although I did feel like this dish overall was a little too salty. And the fried chicken and waffles - this was my favorite dish!! The fried chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the waffle had the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. I'd highly recommend trying S/T Hooligans, and especially get the fried chicken and waffles and the gumbo! I did feel like the dishes were a little overpriced, but still really enjoyed the food. Can't wait to be back to try other dishes! read more

YESSSSS! Go, don't hesitate, just go. Best food we have had in too long. Drove to Fremont from Bonney Lake to try it. Worth every minute on the car. LITERALLY WOW! Ribs, Mac salad, coleslaw, gumbo, fried chicken, lumpia.... All YES! Order several plates and just share. You need some of everything. It's just a mouth watering experience. Oh and the service is fantastic! Small spot, filled up quick. All happy adults eating good food and sharing memories. read more

Awesome Cajun food here! Almost made me feel like I was back in New Orleans. My family and I went and our eyes were bigger than our stomaches. The staff told us they were famous for their fried chicken (which was great), but I thought the gumbo stole the show. The shrimp and grits followed as a close second. The cocktails were very tasty, with plenty of options to choose from. Unfortunately we didn't make it earlier enough to order oysters, but the mussels sufficed! Outside seating is nice as well! read more

We ordered the jalapeño cheddar hush puppies, fried chicken, gumbo with side of rice, jambalaya, cole slaw, and mac salad for my baby shower. Everything was amazing and my family and friends couldn't stop eating the jalapeño cheddar hush puppies! They have great crunch and delicious flavor with an orange zest and savory but sweet taste...get them! My family's Louisiana Creole and this is one of my go-to places for creole/cajun food in Seattle. Lastly, a big thank you to Rodell and team for the hospitality and great food under the time constraints for my baby shower. Thanks again! read more

We had the surf & turf jambalaya and the fried chicken, everything looked great but lacked a little flavor. Jambalaya was a little oily for my preference, was a little disappointed with the fried chicken as it claims to be the best fried chicken in the area.. but it didn't really have any taste. The Fries were good though! Would come back but maybe try something else on the menu. read more

Did I just find my favorite gumbo and fried chicken spot in Seattle? YUP. Their 8oz gumbo is packed with flavor: house bacon, beef brisket, chicken, sausage, house cajun spice, okra, rice. Do not let the 8oz size fool you. S/T Hooligan's makes sure to pack the cup, and the soup is hot enough that it can endure a 15min drive without needing to be reheated. Perfect little cup to get through Seattle's rainy season. Their chicken and waffles is one of the more unique chicken and waffles I've found in Seattle. Paticularly with how the chicken falls off the bone but also the skin is perfectly crisp. It comes with regular syrup and also a spicy honey (that I found myself primarily using). The bbq rib plate was well balanced with the portion, and it was nice to have the option for the sauce on the side (reduces potential spills while driving). Similiar to the chicken, the ribs also melt off the bone. If you're a fan of sweets, try their seasonal bread pudding. Very sweet but it includes a scoop of ice cream which pairs nicely. The pudding can come out a bit 'burnt' but it really isn't noticeable. I will certainly be back again and will endeavour to work through their menu (looking at you, shrimp and grits). Run, do not walk, to try S/T Hooligan's. read more

We went to try the chicken and was disappointed. Beer was good staff friendly place was clean. I've had better spicy chicken and jerk chicken in other places. Don't understand or see the hype. Is it a neat stop to go sure. I'd recommend the fries if that helps. read more

Stopped in here based on the photos and reviews and was not disappointed. The kitchen is pumping out excellent plates here. The truffle burger was perfect and subtle in the truffle department, not overpowering. The fried chicken sandwich had a kick alongside some great bright flavors. The shrimp and grits stole the show -- some of the best I've ever had and it's one of my favorite dishes when I see it on a menu. They also make all their cocktail mixers from scratch, but we weren't sipping tonight unfortunately. Want to come back to try those for sure. Service was very friendly and the bar itself is cozy and welcoming. Fantastic experience. read more

Not leaving a one-star review -- even though I want to -- because the food here is some of the best around, and the owner is fantastic. He's hands-on, chats with customers, total vibe. However... The bald guy who runs the dining room (a hilarious title, considering you order at the bar) is a nightmare and completely ruined what had been one of my favorite spots. I'm fully aware it's a small restaurant. We sat at the only open table -- a 6-seater -- as a party of two. Shortly after, as it got busier, he asked us to move to another 6-seater nearby and share with two others. No problem -- we accommodated, leaving a full seat between each party. After that group left and the restaurant filled up, a party of three walked in. He came over and said, "I'm seating three here," which would have put my girlfriend shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers. I pushed back, saying that wasn't ideal given the space, and his response was, "Well otherwise they don't have a seat." As if waiting for a table is a foreign concept? Have you heard of a waitlist? Ignoring a customer's request for space -- after they've already moved tables once -- is some of the worst accommodation I've experienced. Justifying it with "otherwise they'll have to wait" is absurd. Keep in mind: this place does not have table service. You order at the bar. Later, after our water (the only thing they advertise bringing to the table) still hadn't been refilled, I went up to the water jug to refill our glasses myself. He then made a comment about me interrupting him while he was filling waters -- which is wild, considering I was only there because he wasn't doing it. I appreciated the thanks from the rest of the staff at the end of the night. Unfortunately, the look from the culprit felt more like an "F-you" than a "thanks for being accommodating." If it weren't for how much I like the owner, the bartender, and the food, this would easily be a one-star review. I still like the place -- but that guy is actively ruining the experience. The bar staff from a couple of years ago were phenomenal. Bottom line: don't ignore a reasonable request for space after already asking customers to move. When you're paying $16-$25 per item with no table service, that's a fair expectation. Never had an experience like this before. read more

Excellent southern inspired food and top notch signature cocktails. It's a gastropub with lots of personality and impecacble service.
