Bar: Full bar

In the Central District, Fat's Chicken and Waffles brings New Orleans soul food to Seattle. This BIPOC-owned, women-led cafe opened on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, founded by a Seattle native who studied in Baton Rouge. Chef Patrick Dours, a New Orleans native, prepares classics like shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and catfish.

Fat's is a family-friendly spot with a full bar and free wifi. Weekend brunch runs 10am-3pm, with dinner service resuming at 5pm. Regulars appreciate the casual vibe and Louisiana flavors — you'll find all ages here, from locals to first-timers. If you're exploring Seattle's dining scene, nearby Toulouse Petit Kitchen is another Cajun-inspired option.
