    overcooked, you can see the dried out meat has already begun jerky-fication

    Literally sexist. I came in and waited to ask about my order. This karen comes up and stands right next to me, then starts inching her way in front of me like I'm not there. The front guy comes up and I take a step forward and ask about my order. He says it'll be 5 minutes. Karen gives me a look but that's it from her. 2 minutes later, the front guy comes out from behind the counter and SCOLDS ME about not being nice to other customers like I'm the one who cut her off? I stood there wondering if I actually was wrong here, but then 3 sets of people come in after that, each asking if I'm in line before walking ahead of me like decent people do. I tell the front guy about all the nice customers that just came in and how it's not right to let people cut others off, and he hits me with the "she's a girl, you can't bully a girl, I'm done with you, take your food and go". So at this location, if you're a girl, feel free to cut people off. If you're a guy, too bad. also the chicken was overcooked X_X

    2 pieces + 1 roll

    I m giving 2 stars for the nice restaurant setup and welcoming staff. Got the 2 pieces and roll and long story short , the bread was the best thing out of it. 1- i got the spicy and cant feel any spiceness level here 2- portion is small and texture isnt appealing at all 3- drumstick was ok but flavoreless while the thigh was super oily and not taste as well 4- for 10 bucks ( got get you 3 pieces at kfc or somewhere else) I am getting no big portion, super oily and not tasty so i dont see any price quality tradeoff. Will get the 8$ 6 pieces from FredMeyer and honestly it has way better taste. Wont go back again, still in the hunt of the best fried chicken place here

    The last time I went to Ezell, they only had two locations, coming back recently there were so many locations all over Seattle and I was little concerned as quality tends to go down as places scale and this brand unfortunately fell victim to it. I got 8 pc chicken and the white meat were kind of dry and rubbery tasting and it felt under seasoned. The dark meat was okay but it wasn't as juicy as I remembered it. It was too bad because I recommended to my local friend who never ate at Ezell and I kind of hyped it up and he was also pretty disappointed and he said his chicken was too salty and not crispy. What a shame though, sometimes staying small is the way to go. This is no longer a spot for fried chicken for me anymore.

    The best fried chicken in Seattle! I've been coming to Ezell's for years and it always satisfies my fried chicken craving! I don't know what crack they put in it but I seriously can't get enough of all their food. My favorites being their tenders of course, the spicy breast, BBQ beans, BBQ sauce, and the best sweet potato pie! I can say Ezell's can be hit or miss sometimes the food is more fresh, hot, spicy, or flavorful, but when you hit it while it's good I promise you will be coming back for more. They normally have super quick service though sometimes it can get busy during lunch or when their full with online orders. I normally get takeout but they do have a dining area which you bus yourselves after ordering upfront and them bringing the food to you. If your in the Seattle area or just looking for fixing a chicken craving Ezell's has to be a stop on your list!!!

    1 pound spicy chicken tenders

    I have been eating at ezelles for 15+ years and cannot overstate the deliciousness of their chicken. This is my first visit to the new Ezell's in Factoria. I usually get the pound of spicy tenders with BBQ sauce. The tenders are perfectly crisp and not overly spicy. The fresh baked roll is light and fluffy with a slight sweetness to it - a perfect compliment to the tenders.

    The chicken is absolutely the best. The value questionable but it's nice to have once in a while. This time, I tried fries as the side order and it was a mistake. The fries was soggy, flavorless and looks raw. Skip the fries.

    I put pepper on that potato salad. This was the most beige meal I've ever had.

    This was REALLY not good, sadly. Like inedible, and trust me I'm really not that picky. I can get down with just about anything. But when the entire meal basically tastes like heavy cream & mayo, I started to feel queasy eating it. Best way to describe it was that the entire meal tasted beige. The chicken was extremely bland. The potato salad was also very bland. I could taste a bit of onion in it but had to sprinkle on my own pepper which sadly didn't help. It was pretty much straight mayo & potatoes. The blue cheese dip tasted like unseasoned ranch... so like mayo and cream?? The best part of the whole meal was the roll. It had the most dimension, by far. I threw the rest away after this and struggled keeping it down.

    Ordered mashed potatoes and gravy...scooped out some potatoes to find the gravy...no gravy or it dried out..disappointed.

It was beautifully decorated, perfect if you're having a date or going for a cute gathering with friends. I went around 4:50 pm on a Saturday and it was not busy at all. My friend ordered the yellow curry and I ordered Thai Green Tea with Tom Yum Noodle Soup. I enjoyed my noodle soup, it was exactly what I needed with the sourness and the crunchiness of the fried wonton wrapper on top. I was able to finish most of it by myself besides the soup and bit of the ground pork. The Thai green tea was refreshing. My friend liked her yellow curry also. Unfortunately they did not have happy hour on the day I went, but I would like to try their menu for that in the future. It looks like they have a great selection of drinks. I will be coming here next time with my boyfriend on a date.

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.
