Marco Polo Bar & Grill

Broasted Chicken, Cheap Beer, & pretty much a dive . . . love it.

It's your typical Blue Collar sports & after work bar situated in the industrial area between SODO and Georgetown.  The service has always been friendly.

It has some outdoor tables which is nice.  It does lose a star for being a WSU Cougar bar, but they gotta have a place too right?

You can never really expect too much quality from Bar food... as its usually same stuff all deep fried in the same fryer.  And perhaps people come there to get drunk to the point all food tastes the same.  Marco Polo is an exception to this rule.

Nestled in the most unlikely place for a good hang out (Georgetown) a place of industrial companies and a couple of homes on a busy street that many (who don't know the are) wouldn't venture around for some good food or drinks.

There's a whole NASCAR stock car right next to the pool table. nice patio seating to enjoy what ever sun Seattle decides to dish at you that day.

I can't say I've had the other dishes at MP to compare to anything else as I always get the fried chicken.  Its pretty damn delicious.  A hidden gem and definitely a worthy competitor to any other place that sells fried chicken.  Pressure cooked first, causing the skin to puff up off the meat of the chicken then deep fried to create the perfect crisp texture fried chicken should have while keeping the meat flavorful and juicy.
The only reason why they lacked the 5th star despite having such delicious chicken is that its sometimes inconsistent.  I've been there days where its overly salty and others where its under seasoned. But believe me when I say, when its on... its ON!
Also 3 piece meal with choice of side for $7.95 is a pretty solid deal when you want to get your grub on.

Classic industrial Georgetown road house/dive bar, with Nascar relics strewn about. Old school; best chicken & jo's in Seattle.
