I had heard of a chicken place in Lake City that had similarities to Ezell's not very far from where I live so I decided to give it a shot. IT was a modest spot that didn't have a ton of space, but they did what they could with the space they had. They had a good decorative menu but ordering was done primarily through a kiosk. Even though there was minimal interaction, the employees seemed nice. I got a 4 pc tender combo. I thought it was a very good portion of food that even comes with a roll and sauce. The chicken was pretty good and not dry at all. The flavoring alone wasn't great but that's why they include a sauce. I guess. I also got a spicy version where they put a spicy dusting on the chicken which also helped with flavoring. The fries were crispy and in waffle style. This isn't the best chicken spot around, but it does the trick. read more

I made a spontaneous detour on the way home from work to check out Cluck and Crunch (10/10/25). This business took over the former Ezell Stephens spot, Heaven Sent. I appreciate the marked parking slots out front, because the rest of the adjacent shared lot seems to be all Starbucks customers, since the former Walgreens is long closed. Updated interior, especially new floors. Ordering can be made at the counter or via self serve kiosk. I opted for the latter which was straightforward. The bucket selected contained both the 8 piece fried chicken and 4 rolls...all freshly prepared and remained warm on the drive home. Nicely packaged for takeout and experienced pleasant, expedient customer service during my visit. Go Mariners! read more

New biz alert! Cluck & Crunch recently opened in the old Heaven Sent location. When I entered, I asked the employee at the counter what type of fried chicken they served. She said they had basically the Ezell's/Heaven Sent chicken and had permission to make this from Ezell. The also had some of the same sides and replaced others and, of course, the famous rolls. I expected the food to be almost the same but it was noticeably different. I ordered the 2 piece combo (Thigh & Drumstick) which cme with fries and a drink. I asked if I could substitute the fries for a different side and she said no. That sucks because I really would've liked to try their mac n cheese. They should be more flexible on substitutions. The rolls were not as sweet and soft like Ezell's. They were harder and sort of like day old and not sweet at all. The chicken was decent but again, not as good as Ezell's. The pieces were smaller and the coating was thinner and not as tasty. I ordered spicy but am pretty sure I got the non spicy chicken. I liked the waffle fries and believe that to be an improvement over Ezell's. All else was unfortunately worse. I would love to try this place again in the future and see if things are better after the newness settles down. read more

I am a tenders aficionado. I used to swing by Heaven Sent at this location every so often to partake of their fantastic tenders, and was bummed when it closed. But then got quite excited when I saw another chicken spot had opened up in the same space! I've been by twice in the past couple of weeks and had the tenders both times (just the tenders, not the combo). There is a lot to recommend with these tenders. Portion size is good (5 well-sized tenders), plus an airy roll and -- unexpectedly -- 3 - 4 slices of a giant dill pickle (which I love!). The house dipping sauce is delicious, tangy with a tiny bit of subtle heat. The plump tenders come out piping hot and covered with a batter that has a nice crunch to it -- and is well-portioned to the meat. I would not recommend the spicy tenders as it seemed like they just sprinkled some paprika-like spices unevenly over the pieces, the spices did not seem fully integrated into the batter. But the regular tenders are delicious and you get that extra burst of flavor and spice with the dipping sauce (plus the tang of the big pickle slices). The tenders only order came to $15 including tax and tip, not cheap, but par for the course in Seattle. The woman who took my order both times was quite charming, she had nice customer service energy and clearly took pride in the restaurant, which was bright and clean. I wish them success and will personally do my part to support them when I get the tenders urge! ;-) read more

Cluck and Crunch - Chicken fingers order with roll, pickles, and dipping sauce. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been curious about Cluck and Crunch and yesterday, I finally got to try it. I came in and used the kiosk to place an order for takeout. The lady working there was really sweet. I only had to wait about 5 mins for a bucket of chicken. Their chicken was ok. The skin was crunchy and has flavor. The meat, however, was unfortunately bland. The gravy was thin and could also use more flavor. We also tried their signature sauce and it was good. read more

Very interesting and delicious chicken. This used to be the old Heaven Sent location by the owner of Ezells, Mr. Ezell. A seattle fried chicken favorite from when I was a student at Garfield and got my tenders and Faigo back in 9 fo to 9 eight in the CD. I don't recall when Heaven sent opened up but it was equally as delicious. This new restaurants chicken was juicy, crispy, and had some fusion spices. It reminded me of a Korean inspired batter. The fries were standard and it was a refreshing addition to the lake city food options. I would return as I got the chicken to go and still piping hot. Service was excellent and ambiance was nice. Free parking a plus and the location is close to Brown Bear car wash. Maybe get the chicken after the car wash. You do get a free air freshener from Brown Bear so your car doesn't smell like fried food. read more

Not worth it for half the price. Old gray meat, tiniest drumsticks and thighs I've seen. Price is outrageous for the quality. Go to Ma'ono for fried chicken that's 10x better and actually cheaper. read more

Best chicken sandwich I have had in many many years!! Just ORDER the chicken sandwich!! The sauce is amazing! It's a HUGE sandwich too!! read more

The spicy chicken sandwich is absolutely incredible. The actual fried chicken leaves a lot to be desired. There's not much flavor in the breading. My biggest gripe was the price of the side of pickles. $5.15 for 5 pickle slices is absolutely outrageous. For that amount of money, I was expecting a small deli container. Very disappointing. read more

Cluck and Crunch - $5.15 for 5 pickle slices!?! C'mon! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Nicest service I have ever had a pick up counter in my entire life. Owner was unbelievably sweet, as well. It's the best fried chicken sandwich I've had in quite some time. And right now they're sellng it for only 9.95. At that price, it is almost free in Seattle. Come soon and support this place. read more

This is my favorite chicken spot and they have the best chicken specials in the area! I'm loving the chicken bowls and can't wait to keep exploring the menu! Had their milk tea boba to chill out on the hot day and it was the best with my meal!l Always great service! Wish I had a picture to share but I always finish before I remember to take one! read more

Best fresh fried chicken ever! The people are so nice and helpful when it comes to ordering. The music inside is very fun and welcoming as well. We keep coming back for more to try new things. read more

The food is delicious. The chicken was extremely good way larger than the bun - crispy and tender. The lady taking orders is extremely polite and the restaurant was very clean, but it is a small cozy space with metal stools and patio tables. I'm very pleased with the chicken sandwich and the waffle fries and soda. It was really good. read more

I got the spicy chicken sandwich lately. The chicken was crispy ouside and juicy inside. As the name says, the chicken was spicy yet not salty at all. It was a nice kick! Further, it had just right amount of sauce, pickle, and cole slaw. Overall, it was a well balanced sandwich! I will come back for another one real soon! read more

I stopped by Cluck and Crunch the other day, and it was honestly a nice surprise. The chicken was crispy in that really satisfying way, and the seasoning had good flavor without being too much. The sides were simple but tasty - everything felt fresh. I'd definitely go back when I'm craving something comforting and straightforward. read more

Service was great, friendly staff. Prices are reasonable w/ today's eating out costs. I ordered a 2 pieces meal. Waffle fries were great! Seasoned & the right kind of crunchy. The chicken just wasn't up to par. I know 2-3 different bodegas in Seattle that have much better chicken. read more

loved it! the tenders taste like Raising Cane's, but cheaper. the mac and cheese was delicious. the workers are very friendly.

Decent. Not great. Drove a bit to check out this place. Friendly staff. Reasonable price. If I'm in the area again might give it another try

Food is really good. However, we ordered 2 combos and they forgot the fries. For the price, this was pretty devastating to realize when we got home. I should have checked the bag before I left but it was tied shut with the receipt stapled to it and the employee read it out to me and verbally confirmed everything was there read more

What a great find! The workers were super friendly and helpful. Try the spicy tender combo, it is actually spicy. And the flavor, there just isn't anything quite like it around. Highly recommend! read more

I had 3 chicken, 1 side and honestly it was pretty bussin. Lady at the counter was super professional and friendly to the customers as well. I'm gonna try the chicken sandwich next time when I go. Very reasonable price in this economy. read more

Tried last night after reading many reviews.. The staff was very friendly. The chicken was good and fresh. Only one small quibble, the coleslaw was at the end of it's life and tasted off. But because of the main dish and the workers I will go back again read more

Fried chicken needs seasoning. QFC chicken has more flavor for half the price. Staff was friendly.

Amazing chicken! Fresh halal premium chicken. Such clean and healthy chicken. Don't need anything else. Very satisfying

First, let's get this out of the way - the fried chicken is not as good as Heaven Sent, the restaurant this replaced. That said, this place is still recommendable. Ordered: 1) 2 piece, thigh and drumstick, spicy. Thigh was very good. A bit small but juicy, lots of crunch. Spicy version was truly spicy. Took me by surprise but enjoyed it. Drumstick was overcooked and dry. 5/10. 2) chicken sandwich. Chicken breast was large, and was juicy and tender enough, but not remarkably so. Chicken had more of a breaded texture rather than fried. Sandwich massively helped out by the slaw and pickles, which I think way more of would have helped. 7.5/10 3) chicken wings, garlic teriyaki. Sauce was put in a cup on the side which I'm thankful for because it was truly awful. The chicken wings themselves were meaty, perfectly crunchy, and would have been 9/10 if they were seasoned a little bit more. As they were, these were 3/10, massively brought down by the garlic teriyaki sauce. Will try with different sauce in the future. Overall, 6/10 experience. Will return to try more things. Service was friendly and welcoming, ambience much improved over Heaven Sent. Glad to still have fried chicken in the neighborhood. read more

The sandwich may be OK. You can drown it in sauce. I didn't try the spicy fried chicken. The regular fried chicken has no seasoning. There must be some salt, but is not salty. As for herbs and spices, none are used. The breast was moist. The drumstick was dry. Wings are tiny. The place is welcoming enough. Electronic ordering is preferred. read more

This is a new chicken restaurant in the same location that used to have Heaven Sent chicken, which gives Cluck and Crunch a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, this chicken is not as good as Heaven Sent's was. I thought it was OK but 2/3 of the people in my group didn't really like it. The spicy chicken just seemed to be covered in chili powder. The coleslaw was also so-so, but TBF not many places can do coleslaw well. On the upside: The people working there were all quite friendly and helpful. We got what we ordered with larger portions than we expected. The fries were good. I might consider going back and trying something other than the spicy chicken tenders. read more

Great portions for the price! Seasoned well and so delicious! Been a few times now and it's been very consistent each time

First time there. Loved the spicy combo! Chicken piece was huge and thought the pickled pineapple and slaw were awesome. A little messy so if on a first date - be careful - Lol! It truly was delicious. The main reason I'm writing this is to give an accolade to Erica the cashier/server. She was delightful, patient, and made great suggestions. She was funny, and informative. Kudos to you, Erica and thank you for making our experience a fun, yummy one!! read more

Disappointed. Expensive, and forget my sauces. The menu is oddly confusing and sides are extra. Somehow the coleslaw was salty.
