    Chicken
    Kathryn Y.

    First time trying Ezell's chicken. I had a craving for fried chicken and used it as an excuse to come here. I ordered the three pieces and it came with two sides. I had the fries and Mac and cheese. I ordered the original recipe because I didn't know how spicy the spicy would be. It also came with a bun. Super light and fluffy and delicious. The chicken was super crunchy and not greasy at all. The original didn't have much flavor but was amazingly crunchy! Like super delicious crunch. Without being greasy. The white meat in the breast was slightly dry. Not much meat in the wing. The drumstick perfectly crunched and juicy. Great service. This location is very small. The parking lot fairly small in front but there is more parking over to the side. I would definitely eat here again. SYOY.

    Ordered online. Food was ready upon pickup and staff were friendly and efficient. Limited space inside the store so it was quite crowded during dinner time. Food was fresh and delicious.

    We walked in and they had plenty of chicken ready to serve. So we did get our order pretty fast. I went with a two-piece spicy chicken with mac & cheese and cajun fries and my man ordered 3-piece spicy chicken with crinkle fries. We also opted for 1/2lb of fried okra. First, I was really disappointed about the amount of fried okra for $6.99. It was a small container and if it was half a pound, then I guess. But this is way overpriced. I may be wrong, but the fried okra just feels like a normal frozen variety as are the crinkle fries. Definitely, get the crinkle fries with cajun seasoning because if not, your crinkles fries will lack everything - including salt. The mac and cheese - JUST NO. I took one bite and did not finish. Definitely cheesy but the flavor was just not there and would not recommend to my worst enemy. The chicken was fresh and pretty crispy. After reading other reviews - apparently, I should have ordered the gizzards but as much as I love gizzards, I was too scared I was going to be disappointed. I asked my man, if he wanted to go back any time soon and he said, "eh...maybe in like 12 months." I felt him on that. I don't see myself coming back to enjoy chicken here.

    Location - right by 90E exit, by the AMC theatre, plenty of parking space; quite a busy place at 530PM on the Saturday. Food - crispy, juicy dark meat pieces; spicy is not that spicy and better seasoned than the original; the batters aren't too thick and not fluffy enough when compared with the Korean fried chicken. The dark main piece is better than the drumsticks. Overall chicken is fine, not excellent yet. Love the to sides, especially the kernel corn, very sweet corn. Smashed potato wasn't savory enough. Service - very efficient between ordering and packaging. The team looks well and eager to move along the orders. Overall an economical comfort food meal for two, I will come back.

    Not all Ezell's are created equal. Since Ezell's Chicken franchised, some locations have been serving better quality fried chicken over others. This Factoria location is on the better side of my statement. We normally get gizzards here and they're always consistent. The half and half gizzards are perfectly chewy, well seasoned and not salty, and they seem to be prepared faster than other locations. A couple nights ago, I ordered the 8-piece dinner with Dark Meat only. For some reason, the thighs were so much better than it normally was at other locations. The skin was extra crispy and the meat was juicy. The only thing that wasn't in form were their crinkle fries. Like all locations, Ezell's crinkle fries are too soggy for me. I wish it had more snap to it Maybe it's because this Ezell's is a newer location, but I like coming here if I'm craving their fried chicken. I've recently been placing my order online and my food is always ready when I step in the door or I just have to wait less than 5 minutes. It's the spot for quick fried chicken for me.

    I gave them another opportunity and had one pound of livers and three tenders. The livers I had half normal and the remaining half spicy. They are not that spicy and I can dig that. They were good but only three star good. KFC livers are GREAT! Those 11 herbs and spices say quite a lot. The tenders I got normal coating and they were good but not as good as Chick-Fil-A. Both, the livers and tenders were tasty and satisfying and would enjoy those items again.

    Spicy fried gizzards so good hot out of the fryer. I think these are always made to order and just so good if you eat the fresh in the parking lot (takeout restaurant only). Love the 2 rolls that comes with the 1lb version. OK I messed up my shirt when some of the oily crumbs fell on me while eating in the car, but that's on me. Next time I'm eating on the hood. If they had some outdoor seating, it would be even better!

    Spicy Tender Lunch Special w/ Mac and Cheese and Roll

    I remember Ezell's Famous Chicken being better. Not sure if it's because it's a new location or what, but I thought the food was A-OK when I visited this Ezell's location in Factoria. It's nice that the Factoria area does have an Ezell's, another casual dining option for those in the area, given I do errands around here at times. However, I've had a much better dining experience at Ezell's at its other locations. Located right off of Factoria Boulevard, the space is small, as it's simply a takeout-only spot. The line went by fast. I ordered the half-pound of spicy chicken tender lunch special, with mac and cheese as my choice of side and a roll. Chicken was mostly tender, yet there were parts that were a tad dry, like it was under the heat lamp for too long. A hint of spice was there, but not spicy at all. Portion was large. The mac and cheese was meh. I'd probably stick with mashed potatoes and gravy for next time, as the mac and cheese was lukewarm. Roll was solid. For about 10 bucks, it's not a bad lunch and was filling. However, the star of the show, the fried chicken was just fine. Nothing special. I've had better luck at other locations, so I know the food can be better here. Until then, it's A-OK.

    There's no canes in WA but this is definitely just as good. I just wish they had their own special sauce. The chicken is soooo good. Seasoned fries. Will be ordering again

    KFC @ FACTORIA BELLEVUE…read more Parking is available right out front, and there's plenty of it. The location is near a more industrial/factory area with lots of shops and businesses around, but I had no trouble finding parking on a Friday night around 8 PM. My friend and I were super excited to try their famous $5 bowls since they have so many options. I ordered Matty's Bowl, which comes with fries, gravy, cheese curds, and chicken nuggets, all for just five dollars. Ordering at the register was quick and easy. My friend got the mac and cheese bowl with chicken and cheddar cheese on top. The food came out within minutes, and the service was great, everyone was super kind. We were able to get water cups, and overall the place was pretty clean. There were a few tables that needed wiping down, but we were still able to find seating without any issues. I would definitely recommend eating the food right away, especially if you get a fries-based bowl, since the fries can get soggy quickly once they're covered in gravy. That said, everything was delicious. Overall, I had a really good experience at this KFC location and would definitely go back. Their gravy alone is worth it, it's honestly so good I could drink it.

    Honestly, KFC is not a place we visit often. The last time I visited this KFC was when I tried to…read moreorder hot wings and didn't know they been removed from the menu. And so I left with nothing. So when the internet let me know that potato wedges and spicy wings were returning for a limited time, I knew we were coming. When we walked in the place was bright and open. There was a sign to order at one of the kiosks and so we did that. Ordering on the kiosk was simple and straightforward. The menu was easy to navigate and big enough for even someone who is bad eye sight to see. They did have a handicap table so this was definitely appreciated. Most of the eating area was clean but some of the tables definitely needed a wipe down. Our food came out relatively quickly and it was hot and fresh. I thought I ordered spicy wings with a side of bbq sauce but they came out tossed in them. An employee on break overheard me discussing this with my husband so I guess when she went back to work, she talked to her manager and they gave us a free order of spicy wings on them. Honestly, I didn't complain and wasn't even going to say anything bc I wasn't sure if I messed up when ordering. But that level of customer service really made our day. It was genuine and completely unexpected. The spicy wings and potato wedges were absolutely delicious and everything we expected. My husband got a side of gravy and we were both surprised at how good their gravy was. We definitely going back while they got the potato wedges and spicy chicken wings.

The tall young lady tried to talk me out of waiting for the steak, saying it would take 15 minutes. I told her I was fine waiting and asked for the bowl to be remade so everything would be fresh. I also asked for half rice and half chow mein. She told me she made it correctly. We got home and she clearly did not. This is not the first or second time this has happened with the same person. What's frustrating is the dishonesty. If you don't want to make the order because you're close to closing, just say that. Don't tell me you did something you didn't do. I order my food a certain way for a reason not for the employee to change it to whatever is fastest for them. After giving this location another chance after more than a year, it's obvious nothing has changed. Now I have to come back in person to address it because this pattern needs to be noticed.

    I guess not many people will not go to Chipotle (sorry for the double negative) because of bad…read moreratings but I do think that their current rating of 1.8 stars is just unfairly low and not representative of how this location actually is. At least from my experiences here anyway. I have been here a few times. There are just days when I crave Chipotle. 3-4 days out of the year. And this location gets all my business since it is local to me. Their food is always consistent. Great portions (whether you order in person, via app, or via Uber/DD). I have read some horror stories of other locations where they reduced the portions by as much as half. This location is NOT one of those. The employees here are just okay. Not friendly or unfriendly. One time, one of the employees complimented my jewelry but that was pretty much the only off the script conversation I had with any of the staff here. During lunch, expect to see a bunch of Newport high school students dining here. It gets quite busy. The line moves pretty fast. I know they had some issues with slow lines during the beginning of pandemic. This is not the case anymore. I don't know when chipotle added this but Chimichurri is a game changer! Goes extremely well with burrito. Not sure how authentic it is or anything but I really liked it more than expected. It was free via Uber eats this month. Parking is available right in front and several businesses share the lot. It is convenient but it can get pretty full from time to time.

I tell my non-Asian friends that they should leave an Asian restaurant if you don't see any Asians inside. I am happy to say we were the odd ducks in this place! Love me some legit soul food. The menu is straightforward. We ordered at the counter. The food is brought to our table. The food took quite a while with big crowds coming in after us. I suspect they cook in batches as multiple groups received food at the same time. It was mostly self-service (utensils, water) until the restaurant quieted down, then we saw servers cleaning tables, etc. The Food: Combo Dinner with two sides, $26 - 5 Stars The combo plat offers two meat choices. I chose the wings and catfish. The wings are sizable and plump. Highly recommend. The catfish was a thinner cut and a bit dryer. I liked the very thin breading on the catfish, not greasy, and it tasted good with Tabasco. For sides, both the collard greens and fried okra are excellent. In fact, I say the okra is perfection! The little corn bread is just right for me. I thought the corn bread has good flavor while hubby said it was too dry. Catfish Dinner with two sides, $24 - 3.5 Stars Hubby complained the catfish was too thin. He's not a Tabasco person, so that doesn't help. I gave him two wings to calm him down. Lol. He loved the hush puppies the best. They are huge with a wonderful crisp. I agree with him! He thought the yams are too sweet; they do look sweet in the liquids but isn't that want yams are intended to be? I think he just needs to order differently in the future. Note they have a 3.5% service charge for credit card purchases. See line on the menu photo.
