Exterior, Sunday 5 November 2023.
Tanis L.

Coming to the Ezell's Famous Chicken location on Highway 99 in Edmonds today, Sunday 5 November 2023, I got dinner for myself and my parents, placing my order in-restaurant and getting my items to go. For myself, I got a chicken tender combo, which came with a dinner roll and my choice of side (I went with slow baked BBQ beans) and my choice of sauce (I went with the homemade bleu cheese). For my parents, I got the 4 piece combo, which came with dinner rolls and my choice of two sides (I went with the mashed potatoes and gravy and the creamy slaw). The worker taking/giving the order was warm and calm in demeanor. The interior of the restaurant was clean and homey in ambiance. Parking was a shared lot and surprisingly busy for my time of visit (about 4:15 p.m.). Navigating in and out from Highway 99 was straightforward and the signage was easy to spot from the road. My meal was delicious and my parents said theirs was as well. The meat of the chicken tenders was tender and easily pulled apart as I bit into it. Breading encasing the meat was crisp and flavorful. The slow baked BBQ beans were on the sweeter side and I found the sweetness continued to intensify as I ate them. For the sauce, it contained a fair amount of chunks of bleu cheese and had a good tang/zing to it. The dinner roll was light and fluffy with a refreshing milder sweetness. Everything paired well and was a filling meal.

A place to get some fresh and delicious fried chicken fast. Staff is friendly, food is nice, restaurant is clean. I had to have the chicken right away in the car when my boyfriend went to Taco Bell to pick up his food because I didn't want to miss the crispiness of the fried chicken skin (that's the best part and I don't want to be friends with anyone who doesn't eat that skin), it would be a crime if I waited until home. I like the chicken here are always juicy, even for the most boring chicken breast, i ate half of the skin on the way home and dipped the rest plain chicken breast with siracha sauce. I was lucky enough to have a fresh roll that day too, it was soft and slightly sweet! Overall, it was a perfect comfort food for a raining Saturday!

Spicy drums and thighs
Grace J.

I lOVE THIS EZELLS!!!! The food is spot on every time. My favorite is getting the spicy drums and thighs set, it's not really that hot but in this case I think spices just means more flavor. It's amazing. The chicken is extremely soft and falls off the bone, after you eat the crispy skin of course. Honestly best fried chicken I've ever had. The rolls are freshly baked, and the mac and cheese and potato salad sides are phenomenal. I'll keep coming here always The service is extremely fast and always super friendly. Shoutout Beth, she's the fastest and kindest employee there. It's perfect for grabbing a quick lunch or sitting with friends in the booth style seating. It's super casual so anything in that realm would be great for this. Highly recommend! Fav fast but homemade tasting food

Chicken

This place is great. The chicken is so crispy but also tender on the inside. Food was very fresh. I feel like Ezell's famous chicken has a very distinctive taste for fried chicken. Which I enjoyed.

Entrance near 220th/Hwy 99 (6/14/20)

I ordered PAC SOUTH omelette. No green onions, chose hash browns instead of toast and had side biscuit and gravy. Unfortunately the hash browns were really crackly dry. Maybe I should've had the red potatoes instead. The Omelette was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the pork with the bbq sauce was fascinating and tasty. If I had it again I'd ask to add a squirt of bbq inside or ask for more sauce on top. Hubby ordered the Shrimp and Grits. They were great and better than most places we've had them out. Hubby crumbled his side of bacon on top. They were Creamy, savory, cheesy and served piping hot. Jenny said sometimes people ask to add andouille sausage or catfish on top. Last - OMG that was a THICK biscuit! It was super dense. The gravy was delicious. But the biscuit takes up most the room on the plate. So my gravy to biscuit ratio was off. I still took half my omelet and half my biscuit in a to go box. Left the hash browns. They have BIG portions. Amazing atmosphere and service. If you come in from the front door there is a small counter seating area as well as booths and tables. Beyond that main room there is more space in the back. Keeping this place on the list for sure!!!

In long I had some time to kill in the area, and saw the rates for this place being nice and high. You walk past a smoker and a bunch of propane tanks to get to the door. Much as I'd prefer to see stacks of firewood outside a BBQ spot instead of propane, it's all good. Inside, there are a few tables over there, and an order window over here, with a pop cooler next to the window. Checkered tablecloths, some hats for sale, a couple Seahawks signs, casual and laid-back. They mostly focus on ribs, pulled pork, and chicken. You won't find 10-15 different proteins here, like a bigger place farther from town might have. They do have all the usual sides, though. On the table you get rolls of paper towels, a squeeze bottle of dark sauce, and a little pail full of forks. They bring you your food after 10 minutes or so. I checked out the Small Chicken Meal--a thigh, slaw, beans, and a store-bought roll. The sides here are decent, though maybe not special. That's to be expected at almost every BBQ spot in my experience. That thigh was perfect, though--tender, still very moist, really nice sweeter flavor from the sauce. The sauce on the table is a little ketchupy for me but it hits the spot. All this and a pop was barely $20, which is a nice way to price a plate of q. So many places get crazy expensive. That's expected anymore, but finding good q at a good value really is nice. It was empty when I showed up at 4:00, but there was a constant stream of people wandering in after I sat down. So easy to see why.

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.

I have the urge to say 'hmmm, hmmm' dining here! Yum! Parking is free under the building, and nearby street parking tends to be available, too. The Food: Blackened Salmon, $33 - 5 Stars Menu: Salmon, corn soubise, fried plantains, fried okra We both wanted this as our main dish, so this is a 2X. The salmon is perfectly seasoned and grilled. You can SEE the seasoning on the fish. So glad they included pieces of okra. The frying/searing gives it the perfect chew. Fried Green Tomatoes, $15 - 5 Stars Menu: Green tomatoes, panko, egg, onion, Buddha's belly seasoning This dish is known as their must order. I have no clue what Buddha's belly seasoning is, but I can tell you it is tasty. Fried green tomatoes is a perfect southern dish (and I will always think about the movie). Wings, Jerk seasoning, $18 - 5 Stars Like many, we're suckers for wings. Even better if the seasoning is different. Jerk wings is rightfully popular, here. The sauce is generously applied, and every bit is delicious. The flavorful foods will have me returning for sure!

Because the food quality is so high, I will return, but the service environment on this visit was completely ruined by an aggressive, boundary-crossing waiter and dishonest billing practices. The tension started before we even ordered. Wanting to ensure accuracy for our group of three, I put on a straight face and told the waiter directly that I was serious about getting the order right. He was visibly unhappy when asking for our drink orders. When I stated "no drinks," a friend in my party immediately joked and ordered something anyway, signaling to the waiter that my boundaries could be ignored. The waiter's inappropriate comments began the moment the order was placed, when he pointedly told me twice that I "better eat up all the food" we ordered. He then aligned with my friend's jokes throughout the meal instead of focusing on clear communication. Because of this unnecessary distraction, a $9 charge for beignets was forced onto our bill without my authorization, alongside a "living wage expense" tacked onto the final total without upfront disclosure. The lack of professional boundaries peaked after our plates were cleared. A lighthearted comment was made to the waiter about where the food was, and when he brought out a dessert we did not order, he leaned in and explicitly told us we "fucking better finish it." Using profanity with paying customers is utterly disrespectful and unacceptable. The kitchen staff and the speed of the food deserve praise. I enjoy the menu enough to come back, but front-of-house management needs to seriously address the aggressive language and financial dishonesty of their floor staff. Next time, I will ensure the ordering process is kept strictly to business.
