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!

Can't beat 10 for a fried chicken sando, giant steak fries, and a can of Rainier. Food was tasty and service very friendly. The cocktails on tap all look great and the whole drinks list is reasonably priced which is a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be returning to check out some of the other menu items. Very happy this place opened up close to work.

We live in the neighborhood and have walked by this place lots of times with the intent to go in! Finally went for a Friday night dinner yesterday during their fried chicken week. We both got the chicken sandwich and split a side of the honey/sriracha Brussels sprouts - YUM. Service was quick and the place was pretty chill. Hope more people stop by! Would love to see this place stick around.

Warm and conscious interior design made the place feel cozy and modern at the same time. Ordered Brussels sprouts which came in a big bowl with black and white sesame seeds! The Brussels sprouts were a bit over cooked (almost charred and crunchy rather than a bit chewy) but a burst of flavor nonetheless. I also ordered the Tom are soup and grilled cheese which was a top notch dish! The soup was amazing, the bread was crunchy and the cheese was the perfect stringy consistency! I also noticed a great wine selection. I would return if I ever visit the area again! I can’t forget to mention that the waitress was a bundle of joy!

Family had a great lunch here. Diverse menu and friendly service. Family favorites were the baked penne, the chicken sandwich, and the chef did a pumpkin seed brittle that was amazing. Salmon and clam spaghetti were also delicious.

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!

Affordable, gluten free options, excellent service, and clean modern atmosphere with a wide range of prices. I came to visit between work shifts, and they were able to get me a great amount of food, gorgeous portions and quality, for a great price. Great customer service and honestly I'm surprised it isn't more busy

Amazing food, service, and loved the outdoor seating. Everything we ate seemed well thought out with lots of flavor and texture. Don't sleep on trying this place out!
