“ 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! ”
“ You can never go wrong with Fats. Everything is done to authentic perfection with that southern feeling of home cooking. The team is always gracious and attentive in this mom and pops dining space. It's the perfect touch everytime. ”
“ Best biscuits ever. I've been here 4 or 5 times now and it's the best for a hearty breakfast. I usually get the Fat's breakfast but I've tried the biscuit sandwich. Both are excellent. There's usually a wait on the weekends so it's best to get there right at opening. Prepare to take a nap afterwards! ”
“ Best chicken and waffles in Seattle... PERIOD. The seating isn't the most comfortable, but the space itself is very cute and cozy. The staff is all kind. Great food to choose from! The poutine fries are a must! ”
“ 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! ”
“ Absolutely so delicious! Ordered for pickup but you can tell this place is soooo cozy and the food is made with so much care. I was starving tonight and this place has been on my list for awhile. I loved every bite of this! If you don't like pimento then maybe get something else but 10/10 would recommend. Food was ready for pickup in 25 minutes and the woman behind the counter was totally ready for me to come in and grab it! Will have to come in for chicken and waffles for sure ”
“ I met a girlfriend for brunch on Saturday around 11AM and had a fabulous time! We waited a few minutes for a table, but nothing compared to the regular Seattle brunch wait times. We had a carafe of grapefruit mimosa, I had the chicken and waffles, and my friend had the biscuit and gravy. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was crispy and moist, and the waffle was fluffy. The interior is really homey and the staff are friendly and efficient. I am looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu. PS. They have high chairs! ”
“ I recently visited Fat's, and I have to say, it was a great experience! I do love a good fried chicken and waffle, and this place satisfied my cravings! The chicken was slightly crispy and flavorful, and the waffle was perfect topped with their honey butter and maple syrup. A perfect combination in my humble opinion. The service was great, with friendly staff who made us feel welcomed. If you're looking for a place to enjoy some delicious comfort food, I highly recommend this place. Note: This dish only comes with one piece of chicken but you have the option to order another which I did. Your choices are either a breast or thigh, I had one of each. ”
“ 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. ”
