    So much breading, not so much meat.
    Monica S.

    Not much meat on the chicken pieces but an absolute ton of breading. Very very crispy (overcooked)and bit dry- even the dark. Disappointing meal overall. Bread was sweet and fluffy though. Lightning fast, courteous service. Unfortunately overpriced, and overhyped food. I really don't understand the love this place gets.i see no reason to return.

    One of the few places to get fried chicken in West Seattle and it's a bit pricey. Casual, counter service restaurant with a few tables for dine in. Most customers get their orders to go. Items I would skip: Spicy fried chicken - salty and not spicy Mac and cheese - tastes a bit sour due to some ingredient they add to it, the cheese could be creamier Items I would get again: Chicken strips - lightly breaded with flour, crispy and juicy, one of the best items Regular fried chicken - great crispy skin and tasty Fried okra - lightly breaded with flour and perfectly fried Rolls - delicious and fluffy, one of the best items

    Wish I could say this was a stellar review for the so-called famous chicken spot, but once again, Ezell's got my order wrong... As I say that, I know I have to share what was ordered, or at least missing, but let's talk about a few other things first... service will always go a LONG way when smiles or friendly behind the counter are included... the warmth of the front counter was tepid at best... it'd be different if they were super busy, but no... I asked to use the restroom AFTER ordering and was told in clipped tones where to find the door code... restroom was clean, thankfully! As was everything in the place... I watched as a few orders were put out, one table, the rest to go... lots of to go, but no one checked their orders before leaving so I thought ok I will take the que and not stand there to open all the boxes to make sure all I'd ordered was included... my bad! I don't live near this location, but happen to have business fairly often at the nearby Mailbox West (they're AWESOME!)... I figured I'd try this again, 1st time at this location, let's see what happens and if THIS location can salvage my view from the Tacoma location... nope! They totally missed 3pcs of chicken and got the sides, but not the chicken. They got the 2 orders of gizzards, one spicy, one original, but I've honestly never had gizzards so bland in my life... I ordered 2pc chicken original, which was partially included since there were 2pcs spicy, but not 3pcs... the best part of the meal for me, since I gave everything else I ordered to my family to share was... the cobbler bowl... honorable mention for the roll, which had more flavor than the gizzards! Will I go back? Maybe... but you can bet I'll be checking my order before I leave to make SURE everything is included!

    Love me some fried chicken! Ezells does it right! We stopped by 15mins prior to closing and ordered our food togo.. we were greeted with friendly staff and manager.. we ordered the spicy chicken tenders, regular fried chicken, cajun fries and all the dipping sauces we could see on the menu. The chicken was fried to perfection - crunchy on the outside and juicy cooked on the inside.. I was disappointed with the spicy chicken tenders since they were not spicy at all but loved the crunch crisp texture of their fried chicken.. The fries were delicious too.. the dipping sauces were good.. The customer service was great. Staff was not at all irritated even though we walked in 15mins prior to closing..all in all we are very happy to have Ezells here in west seattle..

    Half & Half (4) Piece Chicken, (2) Rolls, Mashed Potatoes, & Mac n Cheese
    Alex K.

    Easy & free parking. Solid spot. Music is on-point. Staff is friendly & having fun. This place has the most soul in West Seattle. Asked for the 4 piece half n half (delicious). With rolls (fire). They were out of the BBQ Beans and something else. I asked if the Mac n Cheese would put me to sleep. The young man said I got this. Well....I didn't have it at all! I almost fell asleep in my car on the way home! Mad dangerous my G!!! Lol jk - I made it home safe. Delicious food & beautiful people. Can't wait to come back. Stay blessed

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the iced Cardi B (a latte with house-made…read morecardamom brown sugar syrup with espresso and almond milk) and my fiance an iced mocha. The first sip of the Cardi B, my eyes rolled back, and I nodded to how good it was. It's not too sweet (I ordered all of this online on their website for pick up and was not able to ask for it half sweet, but glad they didn't over-sweeten it). The cardamom flavor is prominent, so if you don't like that flavor, I'd choose something else. I also ordered some breakfast items. I got the Lil' Verda, which is a breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa verde ( I also added sausage to it). It's pretty tasty! It's a big burrito for being on a medium flour tortilla. I got the fiancé a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun (you can choose what bread you want; they even have gluten-free) that came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and I added bacon for him (adding a meat was only $2, which is reasonable). As I said, I pre-ordered everything on their online ordering system. My order was ready when I got there as promised. The staff member who helped me was super nice and pointed out where the hot sauce (Tapatio) and straws were. They do have separate windows for ordering and pickup. If you order online, just head to the pick-up window. It is a little spendy (breakfast sandwich w/ added meat $10.75, burrito w/ added sausage $12.75, and two espresso drinks at roughly $8 and some change), however, everything is going up in price (Gas is up to $5.09 +), so take that as you will. Overall, it's a cute little spot nestled in a neighborhood. There is street parking, but it's in an area that isn't too hard to find parking, as it is further away from the very busy spots of West Seattle. I'd come back, perhaps take the fiancée there so we can enjoy it fresh.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but it was 50/50 for me. The weekend special Reuben croissant…read morewas fantastic but the breakfast burrito was not great. Also, the menu on the wall is not super helpful because there are no prices listed for the base breakfast sandwich or prices for additional fillings or toppings. So if you don't ask for prices or look online (there's a QR code on the menu, I apparently skipped over this when ordering), you might end up spending a good chunk of change for your breakfast sandwich. It's around $8.75 for the base (bread, eggs, cheese) + $2ish per filling/meat + $1-3 per topping + Sauces are $0.50 Reuben croissant: asked for this warmed and the outside of the croissant was flaky and delicious, meat was yum, sauerkraut added a nice texture and acidity, and there was a sauce in there was was tasty too! Really enjoyed this one Super burrito: comes with eggs, bacon, cheese, black beans, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. It was tough to find the bacon or taste it because it was cut in small pieces. The black beans were sweet and they overpowered the whole thing with sweetness. The arugula didn't add much and was kind of annoying because it was clumped in one bite and hard to chew through. The size was great, but that's about it unfortunately.

Nacho Mama's Fry Bread Cafe is one of these opportunities and we were in the White Center neighborhood and it was an easy stroll to come here. When we came in we pretty much had the place to ourselves which was okay I guess... it was relatively quiet for when we dined here. For what I got on the menu I got the Zucchini Curly Fries which had a nice, crispy and lightly seasoned batter that proved to be delicious! For my main course I had the All Nations Native Taco. What this consisted of was the fry bread that the place is known for along with ground beef, chili, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, sour cream along with some salsa. It was so good! The fry bread was amazing and I chowed it down like nobody's business along with those Zucchini Fries! It's a good thing Steve shared those with me because I could have ate them all.
