Baes Fried Chicken is a fried chicken restaurant with two locations Portland's Old Town Chinatown and Sellwood-Moreland neighborhoods. The menu includes fried and grilled chicken as tenders, bone-in, or in sandwiches, as well as Southern-inspired[2] sides such as coleslaw, kale, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and waffle fries.[3] According to Brooke Jackson-Glidden of Eater Portland, "The restaurant was designed to be very friendly to takeout and delivery, focusing on speed and its ability to hold up when it travels."[4] Willamette Week has said the chicken is made "with ruthless efficiency and alarming consistency".[5]

History[]

Restaurateur Micah Camden (Blue Star Donuts, Boxer Ramen, SuperDeluxe) and National Football League player Ndamukong Suh opened the original restaurant in Old Town Chinatown in November 2020.[6] The space had previously housed Ash Street Saloon.[1] 1,000 free chicken sandwiches were distributed on opening day.[7]

In mid 2020, the co-owners confirmed plans to open a second location on Bybee Boulevard in the Westmoreland district of southeast Portland's Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood, replacing a Boxer Ramen restaurant.[4] The restaurant opened in July.[8]

For the Super Bowl in 2021, Baes donated all proceeds from both locations to the Suh Family Foundation.[9] The restaurant was a vendor at the Moda Center, as of 2021.[10]

Reception[]

The Oregonian's Michael Russell included Baes in a 2020 list of the city's 40 best inexpensive restaurants.[11] He has described the restaurant as "surprisingly tasty".[12] Nick Woo included Baes in Eater Portland's 2021 list of "14 Outstanding Fried Chicken Sandwiches in Portland" and said the restaurant "does not disappoint".[6] Katherine Chew Hamilton included Baes in Portland Monthly's 2021 overview of the city's best fried chicken.[13]
