Missed due to a New Year closure in early 2016, and thus scheduled as a between-meal stop exactly 365-days later, Welcome Chicken + Donuts confirmed rumors of fried-bird greatness prior to the 2016 Fiesta Bowl while the glazed rounds of Dough were a more mixed experience.Owned by the same folks behind Phoenixs Welcome Diner, their Southern-style Chicken Sandwich frequently cited as one of The Valleys must have bites, Welcome Chicken + Donuts sees the team take on a double-fried style akin to Korean Chicken at an East Buckeye Road storefront close enough to the city to be accessible, though those unfamiliar with area may see the building surrounded by barren dirt somewhat out of the way.Bringing a farm-to-table artisans touch to comfort food, purveyors such as Red Bird Farms and McClendons both justifying prices higher than KFC or Dunkin, those entering WC+D after 10:30 Tuesday through Sunday are greeted by the faint smell of oil as well as sweet and savory cooking spices, the Donut case hopefully still stocked from the stores 8am opening.Undoubtedly another former eatery, the counter-style ordering seeing Donuts boxed or placed in baskets prior to a brief wait at one of several booths, diners are given a choice of several dark or light Meat combos plus Ramen, Sides and daily specials, the choice of just one Thigh and a Drumstick with Sauce on the side showing evidence of a long brine and good spice mix beneath golden Batter while the Thai Yum Slaw brightened shredded Cabbage with Carrots and fragrant Peanut Sauce.With both fellow-diners completely in love with the fried Bird, requests for more quelled by the reminder of two full-meals to come, Welcomes raised Donuts unfortunately failed to achieve the same high marks thanks to a dense, wheaty base that unfortunately comes across doughy unless filled with Fruit Compote while Cake choices trend only slightly better, the Hot Buttered Rum almost textured like a Buttermilk Bar with restrained sweetness to smooth Frosting overlying the ring below it. endoedibles.com
This is a casual little place with only a few tables inside and a big patio outside. You come here for Asian Inspired Fried Chicken and maybe the best donuts in town. The chicken they use is organic and called red bird chicken. You order at the counter and first select how many pieces of chicken you want, then decide what Asian Inspired Flavor you want, pick a side dish and then select your donut. Some donuts are $1.00 more. When I was there the special was ramen. I tried the Korean Chili Chicken. The chicken had a crispy skin and was very moist and juicy. I liked the not too spicy and not too sweet sauce on it and thought it was tasty. The tom yum slaw seemed a little weird to me but was ok. The key lime donut was AWSOME. Light, fluffy, seemed oil free and was delicious but was very light with the filling.
My wife found out about this place somehow and I am glad she did. We tried it out on Saturday for an early lunch. This place is unique and has some really interesting and very good donuts to choose from. My favorite was the Moscow Mule, but all the donuts were very good. They weren’t overly sweet either which I really liked.The restaurant is small as far as interior seating goes but it is worth the wait if you need to find a seat. The fried chicken was VERY good. It is probably the best or one of the best examples of fried chicken I have had. The breading was thin and perfectly crisp, and everything was moist and tender. The chicken was great without any sauces. We tried 2 of the sauce choices, both Asian inspired and very good. If you are looking for a unique restaurant with a happy and helpful staff, try this place out. I will be headed back in the future for more chicken and donuts.
Love supporting downtown independents. Get here early! Donuts and chicken are unique and fantastic. Took my out of town family. Cheesecake donut is a must!
The chicken here is perfection. I had the Korean chili flavor chicken, it was sweet/spicy but not crazy spicy. Had a glaze donut which was also good, not too sweet. They also offer beer, soda, coffee, tea. Wish they had lemonade.
Donuts. Yes please!!
