Pioneer Square D&E

The staff, the food, the drinks! Everyone is friendly, the vibe is relaxing and upbeat. There is nothing about this place you shouldn't absolutely love. I had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious!! Highly recommended! I have now been back several times and each time I have a great experience! The menu seems to rotate with the seasons, which is awesome, equally delicious every time and you get to try something new, though they do have some permanent items on the menu. Fried chicken and chicken sandwiches are definitely a staple here. Fried chicken and waffles is a must! Drooling just thinking about it!

I like D&E for many reasons. First, they have a menu with interesting, new creations that are often timed well with local events/cultural moments. In addition, they have their staples like the fried chicken sandwich. The food is consistently delicious and I like sharing it with friends and family who are visiting the area. Second, it's a cute spot and in the warmer months the front patio is a nice spot to enjoy the sun. Yes, Pioneer Square can be an unpredictable neighborhood, but the staff do all they can to make sure customers are comfortable and the owners are very involved in efforts to improve the area. Third, the staff are friendly, helpful, and good at what they do. We don't make it in as much as we'd like to now that we moved further away, but every time we do it is a good experience. I recommend you check it out!

Went pre-Sounders match on a weeknight. Great location before the match. Reservations required as it is a small venue. Limited but tasty menu during COVID with generous portion on the chicken strips and fries. Enjoyed strong happy hour cocktails. We'll be back! Veteran owned. Returned for weekend brunch pre-Sounders. Good options- enjoyed avocado toast with egg. Something for everyone!
