Texas-born fried chicken and frozen custard chain Super Chix has quietly swooped into one of Seattle’s busiest tourist corridors, opening a bright counter-service shop along the waterfront and giving Alaskan Way yet another quick grab-and-go option.
According to The Seattle Times, the waterfront location debuted in late June and adds to the brand’s growing Pacific Northwest presence. The paper notes that fries run $5.49, a basic fried chicken sandwich goes for $10.79, three-piece tenders come in at $9.79 and a Dutch chocolate custard is priced at $4.39. The Seattle spot also joins the chain’s existing Washington locations, including a Tukwila outpost.
What’s on the menu
The Super Chix lineup leans into hand-breaded or grilled chicken sandwiches, jumbo tenders, hand-cut fries, fried pickles and salads, with premium frozen custard and rotating “flavor of the week” shakes anchoring the sweet side of the menu. The chain also touts a sauce bar stocked with multiple options and extra add-ons. The full spread is detailed on Super Chix.
Waterfront context
Super Chix’s arrival fits into a broader wave of national and regional brands setting up along the rebuilt downtown piers as summer visitors roll in. Recent coverage of Ben & Jerry’s scoops up prime waterfront spot and other big-name operators planting flags highlights how the new-look piers are catering to tenants that bank on heavy walk-in traffic during peak season.
Expansion and local hiring
Company notices show Super Chix has been steadily adding Washington locations over the past year, and a corporate news item spotlighted the Tukwila opening as part of a broader growth push. The Super Chix press page, along with local job postings, indicates the chain is actively hiring for the new Seattle address as it settles into life on the waterfront.
