    Original Uncle Jerome's Nashville Hot Sandwich
    Adam R.

    Yeah, I think the description for the three stars is accurate. It's not bad, not great, just "ok". Service and staff are fine, as you would expect. Tables were a bit worn down and tired, but seemed clean as they could be. The shakes were good, definitely offer different types that other places and have texture and flavor. The regular chicken sandwich is fine, but there is certainly better hot chicken sandwiches out there. This trip I ordered the smoke show and fries. The fries were the best part, which says something for a chicken sandwich joint. I was super excited about the Texas-toast style bund but overall flavor was kind of meh.

    The Big Cali with a super thin piece of fried chicken patty

    We used to like this place but this last visit was really disappointing. I ordered a Big Cali chicken sandwich. It was $11.29 and had lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, and of course, a fried chicken patty. I took my first bite and not much chicken was there. Not surprising or out of the ordinary since that happens to a lot of chicken sandwiches. You get the juiciest and thickest parts in the middle. Well usually. I got through half way and it was still cardboard thin (see picture). It got slightly thicker from there but that's it. This doesn't happen at Chic-fil-a. I think this will be the last time I go here. I feel so ripped off. An employee thought it was reasonable to put this lame excuse of a chicken patty in my sandwich.

    I would have given 3.5 stars if I could but rounded up to 4 because I grew up watching Shaq and wearing his signature Reebok sneakers. I got to try Nashville hot chicken tenders, the Original chicken sandwich, chicken sandwich with Nashville hot, cheese curds, Mac & cheese, and dirty fries. All were good! I wish Nashville hot was actually spicy, but that's okay. I really liked their Ancho sauce (had a unique smokey taste) and cheese curds were on point. Dave's Hot Chicken has better tenders and sandwiches, but this place is good too! This was an Uber Eats order. I will try in person next time and update this review.

    My kids love this Chicken place. I mean, what's there not to! We try to mix it up here when we order to try out different items on the menu. Everything we have had so far is good. I like their sandwiches and the cheese curds since we're a cheese lovers. My son's fav is the Mac and cheese amongst others. Service is fast and cashiers are nice. Ambience is welcoming, it's clean and that's important! Must have for sure!

    Kids Mac and cheese and the fries are from the ultimate combo. They forgot my kids side. 10/24

    Don't got on a busy day! If there's an event happening at the Landing, wouldn't it make sense to have more workers? Can here after an event and waited at least 15+ minutes and they got my order wrong I ordered 2 items. I didn't get my kids drink or bowl of fruit and the Mac and cheese was filled up half way - maybe a 1/4 cup worth. So basically I paid $6.99 for Mac and cheese that I could have easily made at home. I'll give them one star for the chicken sandwich. At least that order was right. It came with fries. Over $15 for an ultimate combo. Overpriced for a burger and fries and drink. I like their drink selection of sodas and lemonade. There's a kiosk if you wanted to order that way. This was my first time there and not sure if I'd be back. Their desserts look good and I noticed one person doing those and another manning the order counter and one packing the food. There should have been 2 people packing up food. The eating area was rather small too.

    Exactly what you would expect from a fast food place. Chicken was okay. Not great but not bad. My boyfriend and I both agreed we like ezells way better. Would eat here if there were no other options but definitely would try other places before landing back on this

    Big Chicken Salad

    Wanted to try out this place since we had some of their strips at a recent concert, and we were in the area. The food wasn't bad, but I don't think we would go out of our way to get it again. We ordered at the front counter and got our food within 5 minutes. We had a Philly sandwich which had great flavor, but had minimal meat and veggies and a chewy bun. The salad tasted good with the bacon bits and ranch dressing, but the hard fried onion ring on it had to be eaten by hand. There was also very little chicken on it. The Cali chicken burger was tasty. The fries were crunchy and good. It was weird that the "meal" only came with a sandwich and fries and no drink. We ordered the burger with the Mac and cheese to go, and you could only see the patty and very little of any toppings. We sat at the counter by the windows to eat, but had to hurry since the only parking spot open was a 15 minute spot. The parking lot was very crowded, busy, and tight! The guy said goodbye to us when we left. All in all, it wasn't a bad place, but was overpriced for sure.

    Have ordered from here through GrubHub several times over the last year and the food was always consistent, but this week we ate in the restaurant. We were greeted by staff upon entering which was nice. We had ordered via their website; we had no trouble picking up our order from their friendly staff. Interior was reasonable, nothing particularly special other than one of their TVs happened to have cat videos playing on it (from TikTok or Youtube shorts, presumably). We had the classic chicken sandwich (good) and the Shaq Attack (very good) with fries (just fine--reasonably crisp & fresh). Large pieces of chicken in both sandwiches--really feel like the value is there in each sandwich. It's not the best chicken sandwich you can get in the greater Seattle area, but it's fast and consistently good. We'll keep coming back here.

    First time visiting Big Chicken. Place was poppin. Always a good sign! Sandwich was good. I would use their breaded chicken with onion straws in a sandwich personally. It was still good. Strawberry lemonade was delicious. Mac and cheese was delicious.

    Today is Labor day, the line was some what decent. They take the order pretty fast, but it took 20min before we got our food. They were quiet bust. We ordered Shaq Attack, Uncle Jerome with upgrade Dirty Fries instead of regular fries for a meal, and A Popcorn Chicken kids meal with sweet potato waffle fries. The crispness of the chicken from the sandwich to popcorn chicken are pretty nice, the flavour is there, not too overpowering. The waffle fries ok, the dirty fries comes with banana pepper, bacon bits, bbq sauce and melted cheese. You can add sauces, they have those near the drink fountains, they have: Shaq sauce, spicy bbq, sweet bbq and I can't read the other one. They have container and cap if you plan to bring them to go. As for beverage selections: they have soda fountains, sweet black yea, unsweetened tea and strawberry lemonade. Bottomless! Plenty of parking. Floor was a bit messy with food here and there. Restroom was yeah...has a fly flying around. Otherwise, it's great. Ps: plenty for parking in the renton landing area. They located across from Nibbana Thai Restaurant and next to Mattress firm.

    Uncle Jerome's Nashville Hot

    We got two Nashville chicken sandwiches take out for lunch. Ordering online was easy and the pick up line was quick. I thought the chicken sandwich was big and tasty and I didn't mind the oiliness of it. It did cost over 11 bucks so while it's not bad but it wasn't too great.

    The ultimate burger has a good combo with fried chicken patty with Mac and cheese and fried onions and have chipotle sauce is really good. Shaq attack burger has a nice bbq flavor in their cole slaw. Came here again because it's so good.

There was a spicy soy garlic that was delicious but last minute opted for the non spicy soy garlic (which we hadn't sampled) and the standard soy garlic was sort of lacking flavor. The cheese snow which is basically a cheese powder was really delicious and our overall favorite. Here's the problem. We ordered bone in wings for all 3 flavors. Our cheese snow box had 1 GIANT drumstick and random boneless pieces of chicken. It really looked like they just fried whatever they had left. Flavor was fine just chicken was janky. Overall it was good. Wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if I was in the area and needed a KFC fix.

The positives: staff was kind, pastor at the counter would make jokes with customers and you could tell they had regulars during lunch time.

The mac n cheese smelled awful and discarded it without tasting. The chicken was suspect. It was golden brown and looked good besides black speckled matter that was on the chicken thigh. I threw away the wing, thigh and leg. This place should not be allowed prepare food. Save your money and time. Go to safeway on Mondays for the cheap chicken or go to KFC. Its infinitely better than this toxic trash

    What a major disappointment. I've been here before. This chicken is usually good. But today , holy…read mores&#T!? This trash was the worst chicken ever. Let alone the guy that helped me over charged me. Never again! Avoid this chicken meal at all costs! Might as well go to Safeway and get fried chicken. This was the driest toughest poultry I've ever tried to eat.

    I honestly come to Burnett's only for the fish sauce wings they're that addictive. This is the type…read moreof spot to just get your food, eat and leave. (You have to eat it fresh from the fryer) The flavor is bold, savory, and once you start eating them, it's hard to stop. That said, they can lean a bit too sweet at times almost to the point where it tastes like straight sugar but somehow it still works and keeps me coming back. If you're into that sweet-salty combo, these wings definitely hit the spot it's the best in town.

    We came on a Friday. The place was packed but we wanted to dine in since we drove from Seattle to…read moretry the wings and they would go cold by the time we returned home. When we informed the bartender we would like to dine in - she seemed doubtful. I offered that we could squeeze into two empty seats at the end of the bar - she immediately said no without any explanation why. Eventually she found us a seat but that was a very strange, off putting situation. On top of the poor service, the food came out after about an hour. Granted, the bar was packed but wings shouldn't really take that long...We had some canned beers while we waited because they were not serving beer on tap (at a bar!) The actual food was not good. I can't believe I heard so many good things about the wings. They were dry. The fish sauce wings were drenched in sauce so they were okay but the other wings were so incredibly dry. The onion rings were so burnt tasting as well but they didn't look burnt. I'm wondering if they cranked up the heat when frying to get things out faster, resulting in these dry, burnt tasting wings and rings. I would never come here again. It was really bad.

    This is nostalgic for anyone growing up in the Southern California area. Citrus lime marinated…read morechicken grilled on an open flame. The only location open in the Seattle area and this place gets extremely busy with limited parking. Very clean restaurant because it is brand new, but no self-service salsa bar like the other locations in SoCal. Also, be aware that the mobile app does not allow you to order on the weekends currently because they are so busy. It's a bit misleading because the mobile app seems to indicate they are closed on the weekend, but in fact they're just not accepting mobile orders.

    I come here every so often for a quick and affordable bite to eat. The first time I went I got a…read morebowl which I did not enjoy. The bowl was so bland and needed seasoning. Even the salsas did not help with the blandness. Now I usually get the 2 piece chicken meals. The bone in chicken has way more seasoning than the chicken they chop up & put into the bowls! Way more tasty. I've tried a few sides and the main sides I get is corn with flour tortillas. Now for the sides I don't like. The mac & cheese is terrible - tastes just like the type you would find in the Safeway or grocery store deli except with way more fake cheese. The mashed potatoes are meh - reminds me of kfc but worse. The rice is instant rice so there's that. I hope they change their rice to actual Mexican style rice one day. The churros are good! The service is friendly when there are actual adults there (weekdays during traditional work hours). On the weekends you'll likely be served by friendly Gen Z'ers (or younger) who are friendly to you but are goofing off and cursing with other fellow Gen Z'ers in between serving customers. Sigh.

    I've only been here once, but it made an impression!…read more Came here on one of our recent hot June days. I knew I wanted to eat somewhere outside before wandering around Renton. I remembered Salty Blue was on my list and they had a front patio, so that was THE CHOICE! We found a small table for two right outside their window, just in the shade- perfect for me and my husband. I ordered the cod (battered) fish and chips, I wanted to go simple my first time. When it arrived at the table, it was a huge piece of fish sitting atop plenty of fries! The crispy batter stayed on the fish as I ate- a big plus. I enjoyed it with malt vinegar and an incredible sauce full of dill, and I LOVE dill. The fries were good but slightly soggy, maybe from the fish sitting on top, perhaps I'll immediately push them to the side next time. My husband got the grilled Mahi Mahi with chips. It looked beautiful and he said it tasted wonderful, even without any sauce or condiments. The servers came outside to check on us a couple times, which was much appreciated! We had our meals with a cold pint of beer each and just loved having delicious food while relaxing in the warm air on a sunny day. One of my favorite things about the food is that you can choose to have your fish & chips either grilled or battered and either with fries or salad. Fantastic for those days when you want something on the lighter side. The menu also has so many other items I'd like to try. Definitely will be back!
