Good spot! Lots of places to get chicken in Capitol Hill, so I gave this new spot a shot and felt they delivered well on it. And I didn't have to wait in a line wrapping around the block! You order at a kiosk, although when I approached the counter to read the menu, an employee was there to greet me and make sure I knew how to order and such. The decor and dine-in area is a little cozy but stylish! I ordered my food to go though. Spicy dark meat sandwhich. The spice was mild but noticeable. I also tried a bite of my kiddo's chicken tender and thought it was pretty darn good. The breading is good and thick without being excessive. And the seasoning is really good. Fries were fine, but I particularly appreciated the assortment of dipping sauce options. I've heard the milkshakes are excellent but I'll save those for another day. Kinda weird that Capitol Hill is becoming such a hub of fried chicken options. But hey, no complaints from me! I'll likely return to this one. read more

Love the food and service. Ambiance is really nice. Chicken burgers are amazing. Thank you Dave

Got the spicy dark and it did not disappoint. Crispy, juicy and flavorful with a kick. Fries were nice and hot, got a free cookie as well! read more

Mt Joy - Spicy dark with fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

OMG HOW DOES MT. JOY TASTE SO GOOD? We are amazed. Visited the food truck earlier and were impressed by the sheer cohesion of your entire brand -- down to the clear signage and well-designed menu. The seating is cozy and we liked looking at the U-section in the middle with the plants. Also like the color palette. Distinct and memorable. The chicken itself is audaciously crisp and yummy, and the ranch sauce is delish. We appreciated the iPad ordering system and the surprise treat, your team is really friendly! WE'LL BE BACK... good is indeed better! read more

Dear Mt Joy, I am so JOYful to have found you! Oh, and parking is clutch too, I was worried I wouldn't find a spot, but love that you have free parking! IN CAP HILL! AMAZEBALLS! Food: I never thought I would like eating a breaded portobello mushroom since I try to be really health conscious but I devoured it like a bear straight out of hibernation. It was crispy and delicious, and flavorful, and all the things. And the fries...OMG...the fries were perfectly crispy, perfectly salted and not greasy. They EVEN REHEATED WELL by popping them in the toaster oven when I got home and having to wait an excruciating 1/2 hour before we could eat, which is a lot to say about fries (don't think I wasn't snagging some of my partner's on the drive home). My partner's maple glazed white chicken sandwich was messy but equally devourable (is that a word?) and he finished his Mexican chocolate milkshake in about 2 seconds flat. Can't wait to come back...it'll be soon but I'll have to limit myself since it's pretty pricy...although I love what the business stands for and how you support sourcing locally and regenerative farming and am happy to pay for the price of business for your mission! I hope everyone comes to visit you and supports your upcoming permastructure! xoxoxox, Liana (Licking fingers) read more

First time trying Mt. Joy and we were beyond pleased. I'm super picky about my chicken. I had no issues with the texture. It honestly tasted like a chef just made me a homemade chicken tender. We tried the tenders and the white meat sandwich. The sandwich was huge and full of flavor, but in a natural way. We could taste the ingredients. Highly recommend this place. read more

Grabbed a spicy chicken sandwich and portobello sandwich from here. Mt. Joy is a food truck that sits in this space permanently and has their own little area and seating too. We ordered online and got there like 5 minutes later just in time for pick up. Their chicken is sourced from local farmers and you can even hoose between white meat and dark meat. In my recent efforts to be (slightly) healthier, I chose white meat. Yes I realize that it's a fried chicken sandwich so it's not gonna be great for me but let me have it. It was GREAT. I guess I don't know what the dark meat option tastes like but my sandwich didn't lack anything. Huge sandwich, fried perfectly, sauce dripping down my arms, buns fluffy and veggies to balance it all out. Could definitely also get the little kick from the spice. The portobello one was also great. The fry the portobello in what seems to be the same batter. It's really flat though. Maybe it's been tenderized? So in that sandwich the portobello isn't as central to the sandwich and it just tastes like a generally very yummy veggie sandwich. We also got a seasonal pumpkin shake. Literally felt like I was drinking a nice spiced pumpkin pie. Delicious but HEAVY. read more

Stopped here on my way home from work and had chicken littles, fries, and a shake. The littles are the best I've had anywhere. Very tasty. Order online or at a kiosk in the store. The seating is comfortable, but definitely with fast food in mind I ate at the front window counter and watched people walk by. Limited menu - chicken and portobello sandwiches, chicken littles, fries and veggie sticks. But all is excellent. Oh . .. cookies are great.too. read more

They lie about their hours. Girl at the front crashed out when called out for kicking everyone out 40 mins before the closing time they advertise. read more

Food is sustainably locally sourced and they were super friendly and helpful. The chicken sandwich and fries were yummy! And everything was compostable. Definitely worth a try and you can feel good about supporting a conscientious business! read more

A VERY nice new chicken sandwich place in Cap Hill! Figured I'd pop in to support them when they opened, and I've been very pleasantly surprised by how crispy and fresh the spicy chicken sandwich is in particular. Friendly employees, and very quick service. Wishing them luck, and hoping they become a Cap Hill mainstay for sure. read more

My partner and I walked in and ended up leaving without ordering anything. Over half of their menu was unavailable. Very disappointing.

great food, friendly and energetic staff, awesome music always! my friends and I love this place, the blonde manager gave us lots of extra sauce for free and chatted with us for a bit, it made the experience so personal (: can't wait to come back! read more

I love a good fried chicken sandwich so had been excited to hear they opened this location. I ordered one with white meat and one with dark to see which was better, and overall I preferred the white meat. Chicken was a sizeable piece, moist, and had great flavor. The thigh, which I normally prefer, was just too chewy/fatty for my liking. Ordering through the self-kiosk and waiting was efficient, although there was no option to customize your sandwich while ordering (such as removing lettuce or tomato). The order status board is very nice to let you know where you are in the queue. read more

After waiting in line for Dave's Hot Chicken for an hour with no hopes of eating for another hour or more we decided to try Mt. Joy around the corner. The place was relevantly empty so ordering food and getting our order took less than 10 minutes. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with dark meat and it was very tasty. The piece of chicken itself was large with a crispy breading while the meat itself was juicy and moist. The fries were great as well and go great with the sriracha mayo sauce. I also ordered the Mexican Chocolate shake which was thick and creamy. Definitely give this place 5 stars for the food and the service was nice as well the employees were very friendly and welcoming. read more

Mt Joy - Spicy Chicken Sandwich w/ fries and Mexican shake - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yay! They opened a brick and mortar store on 11th on Capitol Hill. The beauty of simplicity. I always order the Spicy - dark meat version. I challenge anyone to have a Mt Joy chicken sandwich and claim it isn't delicious. What I like best is the level of spicyness-just enough heat to keep you honest, but not so much that your mouth ends up numb. read more

Ordered from DoorDash today finally. Got the original chicken, some fries, a dipping sauce (chipotle lime), and a strawberry shake. I also got my husband the vegetarian option. All was really great! read more

Customer service was good however the spicy sandwich could've been spicier. I don't think I'll come back here again.

My partner is really into fried chicken sandwiches and he really likes this spot (got the spicy white) The portobello was also very good, probably the best portobello burger I've had, which is kind of surprising for a very chicken-focused restaurant. I also like the Mexican chocolate shake. They source everything relatively locally including their sodas for the soda fountain. It doesn't have the pretentiousness of other restaurants that try to sell you on their sustainability but don't actually deliver on the quality of food. They also don't accept tips--I appreciate a business that has figured out how to deliver good food with well-sourced ingredients, and pays their employees a living wage without relying on tips. TL;DR if you like chicken sandwiches or want to know what a good portobello burger tastes like, come here. read more

I came here after the bar and the food was great. One of the better chicken sandwiches I've had in recent memory. The food was made fresh to order and was pretty quick. The fries were crisp but I wish the portion was a little larger. I don't love that every sauce is a dollar charge regardless of the other things you order. They have the option to queue up your own music which definitely adds to the overall ambiance and dining experience. I will be recommending this place in the future but it is slightly pricier but for the quality it's worth it. read more

Small menu, but very good. There is a mushroom burger for vegetarians. Amazing milkshakes! They also have a children's menu.

Hands down should be included in the conversation for best fried chicken sandwich in Seattle. Straight to the point, they do fried chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders. Fries are good too! read more

You have to try Mt. Joy. The chicken sandwiches were crispy and delicious! The fries were perfect and we had so many sauces to choose from. (Thank you for offsetting with veggie sticks.) The staff was so welcoming and the setting was very nice, we liked the local farm aspect and the portobello option for our friends. We were welcomed with a fresh chocolate chip cookie. It was indeed clucking good! read more

First time trying this place and I'm going to recommend to all my friends. accepts Apple Pay which is always great, I was one of the first 50 customers and got a free chocolate chip cookie that was delicious and a very nice surprise. I got a strawberry milkshake and it was good along with chicken tenders or littles. French fries (wish you could get different fry sizes tho) were amazing and the chicken that is spiced great! The people working there were very nice and brought out my milkshake for me while I was waiting for my food! The restaurant itself is super cute and with very comfortable seating! 10/10 definitely recommend it! read more

First time at Mt.Joy and had a wonderful experience. I believe it was Emily and Bobby (chef) working and it was nice to see two individuals excited and completely believing in the company they work for and the product provided. We had the Tangy wings and the chicken sandwich. Very delicious. The cookies were they are promoting are absolutely amazing. read more

had normal white chicken sandwich w fries and tangy paprika - tried the pickle sauce and the spicky honey mustard as well - yum but want to try spicy chicken the place was cute! quick walk from us, the inside was very colorful and the buzzer for our order was the bacaw of a chicken lmao read more

The food was delicious. The service was awesome! Love how sustainable they are. They also give delicious chocolate chip cookies to the first 50 customers a day!! read more

Service, food, and ambiance were all fantastic. The main complaint to be had is the price, even when the organic mark up is expected. Overall a good experience read more

Service was superb! Fries were fresh, hot, crispy and delicious. My regular (not spicy) chicken sandwich was noteworthy. The ingredients tasted fresh, seasonings were perfect. The presentation was even beautiful, there was nothing greasy, soggy or wilty! I'll be back. read more

Spicy chicken sandwich with dark meat is so good. It's juicy, and the seasoning is memorable. The sauce is the perfect amount of sweet to balance the seasoning on the chicken. I ordered on the app, and it was pretty fast. read more

The texture of the breading on the chicken is absolutely wonderful. There's a big variety of really creative, sauces and all of them that I've tried so far are delicious., And the people that run this restaurant have been very friendly every time I've been in. It's just really good. read more

The burgers were pretty good, and I liked the local craft soda selection cause I'm a huge coke/pepsi hater. Staff could've been nicer though, they were a bit weird with us. And it's pretty pricey for the food you get. You can get similar quality food for a bit cheaper in nearby restaurants. read more

There is a lot of competition in the Cap Hill fried chicken space, but I do love this place. Super crispy and delicious sammies, and an equally good sustainability message. Really nice people and easier to get a table. Highly recommended! read more

Kind and careful service, great chicken sandwiches and fries, creative and delicious sauces.

Pretty good! Menu is simple, I got the dark meat regular sandwich and fries. No real complaints, it's just not a 5 because there are other chicken places in the area that are slightly better in flavor + value. Nice selection of sauces, fries are pretty good value but nothing crazy flavorwise... I'd come back though for sure read more

The best chicken dandwich and fries. I love the sauces and love how crispy the chicken is. I could eat it everyday. The truck is so happy and fun and the service was great! read more

Delicious food best eaten hot if possible. Good service and comfortable seating, not comfortable enough to stay a long time

Tried this place for the first time. Ordered the maple chicken sandwich and the spicy chicken sandwich. My friend has eating here before I have not. His sandwich tasted off compared to what he was used too. Mine was a complete mess. The first bite I took tasted so bad I spit it out. My meal was not edible. It tasted nothing like maple. I spent $36 on two sandwiches. One of which I didn't eat. Though I will say there fries are awesome. Dry in happy with my overall experience. read more

Just ate at Mt Joy for the first time. Very tasty portobello mushroom burger, and the co-owner was kind enough to ask about my experience and share a brief conversation. I work in the area now and am scouting out lunch spots. I'll be back, and I do recommend the place for the food, service, and ambiance. Thanks Mt Joy! read more

This is a really good place for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the super high quality of the food. I got the dark meat spicy chicken sandwich and was really excited by how delicious it was. I did not try the shake and am now regretting my shortsightedness. Another bonus for a location on Cap Hill....There is plenty of free parking. Everything about the sandwich was quality starting with the meat, the crisp of the fry was perfect, spicy but not too hot, great fixin's. The food came up very very fast. All around excellent experience. I don't fully understand the environmental benefits of how they source their chicken but it was yummy so I will take their word for it that it's super duper eco special. read more
