Sisters and Brothers is a Nashville hot chicken joint and all-day bar on Elliott Avenue West in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood. Since opening in 2016, it has built a loyal following for fiery, crackly-crusted chicken, cold drinks, and a loud, friendly room that draws locals, groups, and road-tripping food fans alike.
The Nashville hot chicken sandwich is the order most regulars point to: crisp fried chicken brushed with cayenne-heavy spice, offered at heat levels that run from mild to punishing. The kitchen also turns out Southern-inspired starters and sides that pair well with a bar menu of cocktails, beer, and wine. Weekend brunch brings its own crowd, and the bar stays open all day, so a late-afternoon drink and basket of chicken is easy to pull off. The restaurant’s appearance on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives put it on many visitors’ must-eat lists.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend brunch and weekday dinner are the busiest windows. For a calmer meal, aim for a weekday lunch or mid-afternoon. If you’re new to Nashville heat, start a level or two below your instinct. The spice builds fast. Larger groups should call ahead and confirm current hours before heading over. King County Metro’s RapidRide D Line runs nearby along the Elliott Avenue and 15th Avenue West corridor. Afterward, walk off the heat along the Elliott Bay Trail or at Centennial Park, both close by on the waterfront. Cruise passengers docking at Pier 91 will find it a short ride away.
