Spicy Crispy Chicken - Joe’s Burgers
Joe’s is the perfect place to get a retro diner style meal with a modern twist.
While they are named for their burgers, their chicken sandwich is a lesser recognized gem. The Spicy Crispy Chicken has a breaded piece of fried chicken, which is cooked from raw and never pre-cooked, with bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, jalapenos, and a house-made sriracha ranch.
While any burger can have chicken substituted for the beef patty, this is the classic on the menu with good reason. It has the perfect balance for those that love the flavor that spice provides without making it inaccessible hot.
Joe’s serves up quick and fast retro style meals without ever sacrificing quality. Much of what they serve is locally sourced as they are a small chain with only a handful of locations in oregon.

Which Came First Sandwich - Ancestry Brewing
This one's for all the buffalo lovers out there. This buffalo fried chicken sandwich takes the classic to a whole new level.
The hand-breaded chicken breast is fried, tossed in a sweet and spicy brown sugar buffalo sauce. This is then topped with cheddar, a fried egg, lettuce, red onion, and of course, a healthy amount of blue cheese dressing.
It’s the kind of sandwich that will instantly leave you knowing it’ll be a new craving of yours. The traditional elements of a buffalo fried chicken sandwich, the buffalo, blue cheese, and red onion, are elevated with the introduction of the brown sugar in the buffalo sauce and the fried egg on top.
There’s nothing quite like it anywhere else which makes it an Ancestry Brewing instant classic. Also it pairs incredibly well with many of the beers they make in house.

Kalbi Chicken- Roxy’s Island Grill
Switching it up from the mainland style chicken meals above, Roxy’s Island Grill has the Hawaiian-Korean fusion flavors to take you away.
The menu is loaded with delicious chicken dishes. From the chicken katsu to the shoyu chicken, there's a flavor and style for everyone. The chicken dish Roxy’s is known for though is their kalbi chicken.
This Korean-style BBQ is made with honey and garlic and a bit of shoyu and tastes incredible. Served typically with a side of white rice and Hawaiian-style macaroni salad and with good reason. These sides perfectly balance the bright flavors on the Kalbi chicken and deliver a palette cleanser so that every new bit of chicken tastes like the first.
Roxy’s offers a unique flavor palette by blending the island flavors of Hawaii with the East-Asian flavors of Korean cuisine. The result is a delightful culinary experience that just makes sense.
