DailyCandyNovember 20, 2013Go for the handpicked whiskeys and mesquite-grilled steaks; stay for the Texas brisket chili with smoked chiles, sweet onion, and cornbread. Fri-Sat during the summer, stop in for a crawfish boil.
If you like bourbon, you have to try the Angel's Envy Kickin Boot Blend! The bartenders are top notch so let them know what you like and they'll recommend a good dram.- Everything here is great; I make a point of eating here at least once each time I visit Seattle. But take Uber, or a cab, because the whiskey selection is *insane*.
Get a table out on the patio (in great or not-so-great weather). The roll-down doors make it an extended inside! Also, try the Four Cheese Macaroni - your mouth will love you for it!
Robby DelawareJuly 10, 2012Kickin Boot Whiskey Kitchen is opening very soon, when you walk by, you can tell that they will be opening quite quickly. They do have a website up and running. Read more
Allison GraderNovember 25, 2012Fried chicken is super crispy and moist. If you don't like the sides that come with you can swap for something else from the list of sides.
Brad DJuly 13, 2013Get the Smokestack sando with fries. Get plenty of napkins and a tall can of Rainier beer. You won't regret it.
Lisa PriceOctober 19, 2014Their food is the best. Get a plate of cornbread to share with the whole table.
Steve FongFebruary 22, 2015Really good BBQ: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, fried chicken, sausage- Wilhelm FitzpatrickApril 20, 2013Seasoning on the catfish is excellent, but anything called a Po'Boy should never be presented on a hot dog bun…
Bram Dons-BorregueroAugust 16, 2015If you don't have the corn bread and collard greens you are missing out!
I've been here enough to know what to expect in terms of quality of service. Either sit at the bar or ask for Ari to be your server. Anything else will lead to great food but poor service.
Jennifer Spinelli-McHenryNovember 11, 2012Horrible service, by both staff and Managers. They do not know how to run a restaurant properly during busy hours. Wait times quoted if quoted are beyond bad. F for customer service.
