I am a fanboy of The Welcome Diner, and am so impressed with this new restaurant! The apple fritter had homemade Cajeta (a Mexican Caramel) with small specks of seasalt. I took a bite and found chunks of real fresh apple! Now that's some homemade love and quality!
I also tried the key lime filled donut and the chocolate mole as well. All excellent and lovingly made.
The fried chicken was incredible. I had the smaller combo with a leg and thigh and the cucumber/dill/ginger side. The chicken has a great consistency, the skin is flaky and crunchy and the inside had none of that fatty texture you find in lower quality chicken places. I had the Korean Chile sauce and I would say it was more flavorful than spicy, but I really enjoyed it. I cleaned off the bones!
The ambiance is clean and laid back. I like the art and their clever clean cardboard menus above where you order. They have a great outdoor seating area with long wooden benches, and cared enough to plant new trees all along the front. It's going to be gorgeous in the next couple of years.
Thank you Welcome Chicken and Donuts!
