I love this place! Honestly, the chicken sandwiches are whatever to me (they're good, but not exceptional compared to others) but everything else is fantastic. Got to try half the menu with various burgers, sides, and soft serve alongside a few sauces. Because of the sandwiches, I'm a bit hesitant with the complete perfect rating.
I'll start with the simple stuff and sides. Curly fries were standard and that means they were delicious. Lots of them stuck together and led to some solid bites. Mozzarella sticks are large, thick pieces that have tons of cheese goodness. You get three and wow, these were amazing with the perfect crunch. Both of these sides, the fries and mozzarella sticks, are to die for.
Sandwiches seem to be using chicken thighs, at least they taste like it. Super tender and juicy meat, but the taste is very much like standard thighs compared to breast. Was a big fan of the juiciness, but I prefer chicken breast in sandwiches I think. The chicken also seems to be cut from much larger pieces (see picture) as it's not entirely fried. They're also claimed to be "double fried" but I don't think it's much different than a single fried chicken as it wasn't exceptionally crunchy or anything.
Chicken strips were a highlight though. They use chicken breast so maybe some bias there, but they're large, thick pieces as well and even better, you get curly fries with it. When you think $12 for 3 strips you're like okay not bad, but when you realize that includes the $5 fries, that's $7 for 3 strips which isn't bad at all given their size and taste.
Soft serve was pretty good too. Relatively fair $5 for the portion as soft serve is generally expensive. Obviously lean towards the unique, seasonal flavors compared to the vanilla where you can buy at McDonalds for less than half the price. However, being here, you may as well try it at least once. Vanilla was pretty good, maybe creamier or milkier than typical vanilla soft serve but not sure if that justifies the price point.
Pumpkin-Marscapone soft serve looked like pineapple but tastes like what pumpkin pie would be in ice cream form. Very delicious. Matcha Latte is a faint green tea which is also delicious. All of the soft serve was amazing so the milk in the name is well representative.
I'll also comment that the waffle cones they have seem to be more of a German biscuit? Like German waffles or stroopwafels, same texture and taste. Not your traditional waffle cone which can be a pro or con depending on your preference! Personally I enjoyed...
Read morePure Indulgence at Milk Drunk - A Five-Star Feast! From the moment we walked into Milk Drunk, we knew we were in for something special, but the reality far exceeded our expectations! This spot has absolutely nailed the art of elevated comfort food. The special fish sandwich was a revelation. Forget your typical greasy fish fry – this was a perfectly cooked, flaky piece of fish nestled in a fantastic bun with thoughtfully curated toppings that sang in harmony. Every bite was a delightful balance of textures and flavors. Then came the double fried chicken sandwich. Oh. My. Goodness. Crispy doesn't even begin to describe the exterior, giving way to incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken. The layers of deliciousness in this sandwich were simply addictive. It's the kind of sandwich you keep thinking about long after you've finished it. And let's not forget the supporting cast! The curly fries were perfectly cooked – crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside – and that garlic sauce? Pure magic. It elevated a simple side to something truly craveable. We were practically licking the container clean. But the grand finale, the pièce de résistance, was the malted chocolate soft serve with the chocolate shell. This dessert was a nostalgic dream come true, but with a sophisticated twist. The malty flavor of the soft serve was rich and satisfying, and that crackly chocolate shell added the perfect textural contrast and an extra layer of decadent chocolatey goodness. It was the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was buzzing with a happy energy. Milk Drunk isn't just a place to grab a sandwich; it's an experience. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients and a clear passion for flavor. If you're looking for a truly outstanding and memorable meal in Seattle, look no further than Milk Drunk. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. Five stars...
Read moreHeard alot about this place and wanted to visit it for a real long time, so, finally went there for lunch. There was no line around 1pm and we placed our order - mozarella sticks, curly fries and Nashville Chicken Sandwich. The curly fries were crunchy and delicious and those mozzarella sticks - the best I ever had. Now coming to the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, the flavors were great especially for a spice lover like me I enjoyed the spicy kick to it. It was a tad too spicy for my husband. Now the major problem I had with this sandwich was the grease. My potato bun was literally soaked in that grease and there was oil dripping all over my sandwich (see pictures for evidence). It was too greasy which made it unappetizing for me. Secondly, i could barely taste any mayo or pickles in the sandwich they were hidden some where in there and i got maybe a couple of bites well integrated with the chicken but otherwise I was eating a double fried spicy chicken with a greasy bun. So those ordering the nashville hot chicken be aware it is really spicy and greasy! The chicken was well fried nice and juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. If you like greasy food this may be it for you but it wasnt for me!
We then ended our lunch with the vanilla malted chocolate swirl and the rainier cherry fig leaf coconut swirl. Both of them were good. Make sure you grab their punch card for the swirl if you plan to return. They have some indoor dining spots and a few standup tables right outside. Overall, this place did not...
