This is an unusual restaurant, which we enjoyed almost more for the ambience than for the food. That said, the food is good. Both my husband and I got the chicken tenders, I got it "naked", meaning no spicy heat whatsoever, and it was definitely prepared that way. My husband got "baby hot", which is the lowest rating of spicy hotness; he said, though that even at the first level, it was almost too hot for him. The breading on the chicken is a nice thickness and very crispy. However, I must say that two of my three tenders were a bit on the dry side. The third one was moist and definitely better. I got it with a waffle and the waffle was quite tasty. My husband's side dish was the mac & cheese, with bacon. Which he said was a "spiritual experience"! I got a couple bites of it too, and while I wouldn't necessarily describe it as he did, it was definitely very, very tasty. We've been there before and had their catfish, which was excellent, and will probably be what we get there going forward. As I said, the ambience is really fun. Very kitschy. Old faded paintings on the walls, probably picked up at Goodwill. A couple of video games from the 1980s, the "table top" type where there's a chair on either side; one of them was a Pac-Man! And then there is the vintage toys that are sitting on a shelf just below the ceiling. All kinds of dolls and stuffed animals from back in the day. So if you were born in the 1960s, 70s, or even 80s, this is a blast from the past. There is a decent sized parking lot, and even on a Friday at 7:30 we had no problems finding parking. Though there were people inside, it was far from packed. Most of them seem to be seated closer to the bar. We were seated at a booth immediately, and the food came in a short amount of time. Very friendly and efficient staff. Seems odd to me though that they close at 9 PM on a Friday... I would think that 10 or even 11 would be better, but maybe not enough people know about them. I wouldn't be surprised if takeout is their main business, as there are a lot of apartment buildings around it. In any case, we really enjoyed our time there (despite the slightly dry chicken), and I do recommend it!

We had already made a couple of stops earlier in the evening. Catfish and Caesar Salad at a pop up from the husband and wife team at Pizza by Ruffin (excellent), a quick stop at Situ Tacos, and now craving something a little sweet, but not totally dessert we headed to Sisters and Brothers. Splitting an order of Nashville Hot chicken and waffles was exactly what we were looking for. A cold bohdizafa to wash it down didn't hurt either. I have been a big fan of this team since their days right across the street from Boeing Field. They never disappoint.

1st & best Nashville chicken in Seattle (Interbay/lower west Queen Anne), owner had a restaurant in Nashville. Nashville is HOT & get the white bread with pickle. Get the mac & cheese. Loved the cole slaw. Dine in & enjoy the kitschy collection of old school local stuff decorating the place you won't find anywhere else. Old school diner booths. Love the bar, happy hour drinks 3-6pm Monday-Friday. Has parking lot. Friendly staff & bartenders. Great place for a party!

As diners drive ins and dive visits go this one was meh... the front house guy was very cool and the place has a super hip fin classic rock vibe. It's certainly a great place to visit. The food was okay, I had a dark meat chicken sandwich with Seattle hot sauce and it was pretty hot but tasty. The chicken was remarkably crispy but sadly over done I ate it so I can't throw this place under the bus. The service was through the roof good. The front house guy was very friendly and personable. This is a great destination for drinking with hour friends just don't expect great food.

Popped in for lunch and the whole place is a vibe. Not sure how else to describe it but will say I loved the eclectic decorations. Server was super nice and made sure we had our drinks full. Food was very good. I had the Nashville hot tenders with Mac and cheese and thought the spice was great.

The most authentic Nashville chicken sandwich I have had in Seattle. Good balance of spice and flavor. But I wish sides are a little bit better. Overall it's great. Great service. Fresh and tasty food. Amazing vibes!!

Went on a thursday around 6pm with a group of 7 and got in pretty quick. The restaurant is pretty big with a bar. When I first looked at the menu it was pretty pricey but then when the food came out, I understood why. The portions are massive! I got seattle spice chicken tenders and it came with 3 huge pieces with a side of mac and cheese. The chicken was so flavorful and perfect amount of spice for me. It was juicy and crispy. My friends got the nashville and they said it was good but the spice was only in certain spots. The mac and cheese was soooo goood. I'm already planning my next trip back. The quality and the quantity is so much better than dave's hot chicken. Our waitress was very patient and kind. She made our experience great!

Came here to try their Nashville fried chicken. I ordered the wings with slaw. I did wait a few minutes until someone (initial server) asked me what I needed. They did have a sign that said "please wait to be seated" and as a first timer, I figured I'd wait and someone would help me. I told him I was waiting to be seated as the sign said. The wings were MASSIVE and tasted of Nashville hot. When you eat the breading which was crunchy and had tons of crunch, the breading would fall off and you would just be eating the meat. It was all tasty and moist but it was hard to eat in general. The slaw was a good palette cleanser. It could have used more creaminess but otherwise good. The server that helped me during my meal was nice and kept checking in on me. Lastly, the server (initial server) had mentioned to another couple that it was half off mimosas and had not mentioned it to me. I would have ordered that instead of the cider I ordered if I had knew even though there was a menu.

Sisters and Brothers is a dive bar with a heart! I joined a friend here for brunch (unlimited mimosas? count me in!) on a Sunday around noon. We had no trouble getting seated promptly. The decor is fun and kitschy and our server was super attentive which was impressive because I think he was also tending the bar. I always temper my expectations when eating "non-native" foods (Seattle is a long way from Nashville) but my tenders were actually great! I got Seattle Hot spice level and while they were comfortably spicy, I probably would get Nashville Hot next time. Either way, it's always a treat to find *actual* spice and seasonings out here. I also had the fried okra on the side which was a real treat to see this far from the Southern US-- and they were good! The only con of my experience would be the bathroom. It's pretty small and *exactly* what you'd expect at a dive bar in terms of ambiance so plan your mimosa intake accordingly :)
