Ezell's is always my go to spot for when I crave fried chicken. Their chicken is always moist, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. I got the dark meat and spicy ezells famous chicken, it wasn't spicy at all but it was sure was crispy and delicious. Their rolls are top tier, the best rolls from any fast foods I've ever had. Their tenders are okay, it wasn't anything special plus it was very small. All the chicken came with a m roll and you can also order side dishes such as fries, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and more. Service was quick got my food in 10 mins or less. read more

Located in a strip mall. The staff was friendly and helpful. Purchase was completed in a timely manner

I like a good fried chicken, so I decided to try this place out. Preliminary report based on the two piece white is that the chicken is pretty good, the fries are OK, and the gravy dip is way overpriced. Service was fast and polite, and the vibe of the dining room is fine, but the kitschy little booths they've constructed don't fit fat people like me. I wound up sitting in an awkward little chair leaning over my table, because there were no other seating options. I'll probably give them another go at some point because I want to try their mashed potatoes and sweet potato pie. read more

Yes, this is my favorite chicken place and I love their chicken strips and chicken. They're mashed potatoes are absolutely wonderful and so is the okra. The staff is wonderful and the manager is great thank you for serving. Great chicken and great chicken gizzards. I've loved this place. read more

We need to expand your time of closing specially on the weekend nights as I came 15 minutes before closing asking nicely if I can or and eat there which might take me 10 minutes to eat, but they warned Support about it so I had to go as I came on a mood for eating but unfortunately, I had to leave and I don't know when I'm coming back again cause every time I think about it, it is closed or about to close read more

So this is some nasty, flavorless and disgusting tasting chicken. I'm not even sure if I should be mad at myself for paying almost $40 for 8pcs of chicken with 2 jumbo sides or for listening to the Black guy who said it was good. Does Seattle not have Lawry's seasoning salt or any salt here? As a first time visitor (and consequently last), I'm pretty disturbed that this place is even in business. I mean if you're gonna sell fried chicken, make it taste like true fried chicken THAT HAS SALT ON IT!! First of all, what kinda watered down, season-less thick batter is this?? Secondly, how in the world can you claim being "famous" when you can't even taste any seasoning in the chicken itself. Thirdly, your "gravy" is a disgrace. It's watery, has no flavor or salt and tastes scorched. The mashed potatoes are hard and not creamy, more like boxed potatoes. The only edible things I enjoyed are the baked beans and yeast rolls. Bruh, y'all chicken is not famous...it's not even mediocre. If the locals love it, then they've never eaten true fried chicken that comes seasoned. Please change your slogan to "Ezell's Tryna Be Famous Chicken." read more

As an East Texan living here up North Ezell's was a weekly must 10 years ago. Fast forward to now and the "soul" is gone from this food! I'm heartbroken typing this. Unseasoned and greasy imitation of what once was. Much respect to Ezell Stephens and Marshall, Texas! read more

First time trying Ezell's and it was so disappointing. Two piece bone-in white and dark meat, mac and cheese, and a drink. The fried batter was the main seasoning. The actual chicken meat either had little to no seasoning? Mac and cheese was not seasoned whatsoever. Also, tried the mash potatoes with gravy. Gravy was not good. Mash was fine. Raising Canes is better than this. And that's not even a good thing. Want some good fried chicken? Go to Jolibee, Bonchon, or Popeyes. read more

Dried out, tough, stringy, soggy, chicken. I was told to wait 15 minutes for my order, told it would be made fresh, ended up waiting over half hour! Macaroni was dried out like a brick too. All this for $30 dollars! This place is the worst, it's the third time over two years I've HOPED each time they would get it right, thinking maybe it may have been just a bad night. I'm done taking chances on this place. I'm over 60 and KNOW what good fried chicken should be. There is absolutely no mistake made on this rating based on DECADES of eating fried chicken. If there is any other place at all, other than Ezell's, give them a try first and save Ezell's for your last choice, unless you're absolutely starving and don't mind choking on dried out chicken! read more

Not as good as before, they need to improve a lot , the food is half done in the middle, the chicken is still cold on the middle part, the chicken doesnt taste good its too bland read more

Stopped in for some food. The manager Austin was very helpful in walking me through the menu. I got a few things to try it out, and it was DELICIOUS. I didn't get the potatoes salad when I found out it wasn't the "southern style" which includes egg.. but Austin went ahead and through it in my bag for me as I left and I'm glad he did cause it was very tasty.! Wish the peach cobbler was warm but it was still good.! The chicken is seasoned to perfection... no sauce is even needed.! Definitely will recommend read more

A newer location for the Ezells chicken franchise, this location provides the tried and true recipes of the original in downtown Seattle. Ordering is quick and easy, pretty simple menu that allows you a few options but makes it so you get your food quickly. Large and spacious seating allows for a quick bite in comfort. read more

I got the small spicy tender order with a side of fries. Crazy and annoying how it doesn't just automatically come with fries as most people offer that. The tenders were moist and loved the spice level. Fries were crispy and delicious as well as their side of bread. My friend ordered the gizzards so I got to try it but we were not fans of it so wouldn't recommend it. Food came out pretty quick and service was good. I'd stop by again if it's close to me as it wasn't anything too special but wouldn't drive to it. Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 read more

This chicken absolutely rips. I got the 1/2lb tenders and had myself a little fried chicken picnic in the park down the street, it was great. The mac and cheese wasn't ready so I opted for the mashed potatoes and gravy - great move for sure. Wish they had these places in Arizona. read more

I recently went to Ezell's in Mill Creek. Though I'd already been warned, I had to finally try it myself. I ordered a 2- peice and dinner roll as the side are extremely overpriced. See ocra or potatoes shouldn't be this much. Anyway the two thighs were burnt, extremely dried out, I couldn't even chew the skin. The roll was good. Long story short all were correct this place shouldn't be in business. I am African American and I was modified by this food, and the customer service was horrible as well. Anyone I. Their right mind would not serve you burnt, completely dried out food! I'll never go back again though co-works told me the only thing worth something is the sliders. I don't Event want those ... read more

I have no idea why people think this chicken tastes good. Honestly, this is some of the blandest fried chicken I've ever tasted, and they don't offer a selection of sauces to help the taste better. Three times, and every time I didn't even want to finish the chicken. Why do so many people like bland, boring chicken?! read more

This restaurant serves amazing fried chicken. I ordered my chicken spicy, it was delicious and had tons of flavor and great texture. The sides I ordered were mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy. The mac-n-cheese was very good, but the mashed potatoes weren't very smooth, they were a bit firm. The chicken was delicious, as well as the dinner rolls. I will definitely order this chicken again. read more

Uh, this is supposed to be a golden brown spicy chicken breast. It was ordered around 4:30 pm. It actually didn't even resemble a breast as it was mostly ribs(!). Pretty disappointing to pay $5 for something like this. The Ezell's On 180th Bothell/Everett Highway is great. This location not so much. read more

I'm basing my review on their Original chicken recipe. The chicken could not have been more tasteless. It was crispy which I appreciated, but tasteless. Not sure how Ezell's chicken could ever become famous at this rate. I've read reviews where the business owner acknowledged that other customers complained about this. But the recipe continues to be tasteless. Suggestion: At least add more salt if you are actually adding any at all. I actually spoke with the cook and she said she just follows the recipe. Everything was okay about the service, cleanliness, etc. EXCEPT for the Original chicken entree. read more

We just waited for over thirty minutes for a basic order. No one on the front head would explain why it was taking so long and they kept saying it would be 4 more minutes! read more

Dry chicken. Very dark and hard breading. And they did not get my order right. Probably will never go back. If I did, it would have to be early like lunchtime. Maybe the food was mediocre because it was 1.5 hours before closing. On a good note, the cashier was friendly. read more

Oh my goodness I actually love this chicken spot. The chicken is crispy but not greasy. It was very tasty and flavorful. Their sides are good and their rolls, my god their rolls are phenomenal. I absolutely love their dinner rolls. They are soft and also sweet. The crinkle cut fries were not seasoned, but they were good. I warmed them up in the air fryer later and they were still just as good. I really wish that their spicy chicken was actually spicy. read more

1st time going to this location, when getting home and going through my food notes that I didn't receive All of my order calling them back and talking to the manager all he could say is come back and we'll get you what we forgot I told him I live 30 minutes away ok he said the next time you come in we will take care of you and took my name and number down so the next time I went in they had no idea who I was poor customer service !! read more

Came back after a long time and the guy working the cash register was SO NICE. Every customer that walked in was greeted with a "Hi, welcome in!" And that's rare for a "fast food" joint to take even 2 seconds to say that. There was also another girl with a blue shirt and long curly hair that brought food out to the tables, who was super fast and nice. I ordered large gizzards and small chicken tenders. I was told the gizzards are made fresh to order so it took about 10 minutes, but they were piping hot and so good. Either management has improved or they got new employees because the service and food have gotten so much better! read more

Our order was only 50% correct. Out of all the items they only got 50% right. Our order was missing three(!!) Items and they gave us something we didn't order and didn't want. The person on the phone didn't seem to understand why this was an issue and it took five minutes of taking before they finally agreed to give a refund for one of the missing items. They then didn't even ask for our order number or any information to confirm they would be refunding the correct people. We don't trust that they'll actually issue the refund and intend to file a chargeback with our credit card company to make sure we get a refund for all missing items. The cherry on top was that they didn't apologize. read more

I visited this location last night and received the worst food I have ever purchased from a takeout chain. The chicken had been under the heat lamps for so long that it was dried and burned. Prior to that it has been cooked in bad oil and was seasoned with more salt than I had ever encountered in fried chicken. The potato salad had gone bad and the baked beans were more sauce than beans which were also way too sweet. The young lady at the counter was very kind and professional, but the food was absolutely not acceptable. I will not be going back to this location ever again. read more

i dined in & got the 1/2lb tenders & they were good, the cajun fries were crispy, mac n cheese was good & the roll was soft & sweet. it's a pretty good bang for your buck imo & hits the chicken tenders & fries craving for sure. staff was nice also. read more

Catching up with belated Yelp posts, this is for a first time visit at the Lynnwood location of Ezell's Famous Chicken back on 3/24/18. The Homie and I accompanied his 10 year old cousin, it was her request to stop here. The suburban interior sure is clean with standard décor...even has Guy Fieri of Food Network Triple D fame. The counter person who took our order was a bit of a ditz, but hey someone has to earn a living. The Homie and I had the two dark piece with squishy rolls. The niece had the chicken strips - surprisingly she went to town on these. This was stop #1 of her belated birthday progressive outing. Best Ezell's is the original site in Seattle's Central District across the street from Garfield HS. That has the photo of Oprah. But then this was before the big legal brouhaha that resulted in these suburban Ezell cookie cutter sites and the much preferred Heaven Sent sites (run by the original Ezell Stephens!) read more

So goooood! We got half & half chicken strips and a large order of cajun fries. It was enough to split for dinner, and cost only around $15 (minus tip, of course). The chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful, and we really enjoyed the blue cheese sauce that we picked to come with. There wasn't a huge flavor difference between regular and spicy from what we could tell, but both were incredibly good anyway. Cajun fries were also great - they held up really well after 15 minutes in the car, too. The service was nice, impressively quick and professional. They had hand sanitizer available and clear signs designating how many folks should be in the lobby at once. Definitely didn't feel as stressful as some other covid-era restaurant experiences. It was our first time but we'll definitely be back soon. Support your local black-owned businesses :o) read more

Updating our review because we had previously had so many missing items so many times without any way of contacting management. After leaving a review we received a response with contact info via google and were able to receive a refund for one order. We ordered again since then and recieved all of our items. read more

So I've been going to Ezelle's forever but normally the location in the central district and anytime I don't go to that one I'm always thoroughly disappointed with the quality of food and the amount that of food you receive differs from each location. This one was specifically notable as I got the three chicken strip meal and the chicken strips were maybe the size of your pointer finger the coleslaw was bland and overall unsatisfying. This has really turned me off of wanting to go to these chain restaurants ever again. read more

Picked up lunch from a local Ezell's in Lynnwood after hearing the hype around how this is a fried chicken legend in the PNW. Ordered the lunch special of 2 fried chicken (original or spicy) with a choice of side, one roll, and drink for around $10. I ordered the bone in chicken spicy, with mashed potatoes and gravy, and got a Sierra Mist. Sauce here is $.50 which is no biggie but I didn't realize it being my first time here and wanted bbq sauce and was asked to wait back in line to order any sauces. The staff at this location is rude. My coworkers and I were served so much attitude both ordering our food and picking up from the counter that it put a sour taste in our mouths even before we got to eat our chicken. Fried chicken is very mediocre as well as the tenders that my coworkers ordered. The fried chicken tasted very basic - it wasn't spicy, or seasoned to a point where it didn't need sauce and the chicken wasn't impressively juicy. I think due to it being around lunch time they batch made chicken in advance and let it become dry under the heating lamp. Only saving grace here are their sweet rolls that come complimentary to some dishes. Side dishes of both mashed potatoes, potato salad, and mac and cheese were just alright. I might stick to Popeyes next time. read more

Love this place. I always call ahead, or from the parking lot even because they have your order fast. The spicy chicken tenders are awesome and their sauces are really good as well. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered the 3 piece spicy chicken with a roll, mashed potatoes with gravy and the mac and cheese. Also ordered the peach cobbler. The mashed potatoes and gravy were lacking in flavor, no distinguishable taste and it was sorely in need of pepper or something in the gravy. The drumstick was nice and juicy and the spice was just right. But the white meat was dry, overcooked and devoid of any spices. Needless to say I didn't bother to eat the third piece. The macaroni and cheese had no distinguishable taste. I only ate three small bites before I gave up on it. The roll was great and the peach cobbler was divine but after paying well over twenty dollars for a meal I barely ate I will not be coming back to Ezell's again. read more

In the midst of moving and waiting for my stuff to get here have been eating out a lot. The service at this location is outstanding. The nice team and the accommodating service was amazing. The food is honestly so so. The chicken: According to my friend (I do not eat meat): Tender, flavourful and juicy but the breading was gummy/chewy and too bready. The Sides: Mashes potatoes: Were way too chunky and soooo dry....and a little flavourless. Mac and Cheese: I am not sure what happened to this Mac and cheese but it wasn't like the little elbows you are used to-mine were all these little tiny pieces of elbow pasta? I couldn't really tell because they were so pulverized? maybe the 3 containers I received were from the bottom and the leftovers? It was also way too oily where the cheese and oil separated. The rolls are delicious....soft and warm and just plain good. If you have a need for fried chicken and some sides I may go here if there is nothing else available but I think I will stick to my regular go to.... read more

Please Be Aware... this place for Togo order needs to check every time... I ordered 8 piece chicken and I got 6 dried pieces of chicken so I called the store and the rep said I can go back and pick it up next day or so... omg... not going back to this location!! read more
