    Never disappoints
    Brooklyn J.

    Never disappoints, always a good option late at night or any time or day. Every location has been consistent

    I come here often, today I went in and the very wonderful lady who's always serving the food recognized me before I even walked in and had my order ready before I even was able bring out my phone to pay for it. This is the zenith of customer service and everybody involved in that exchange deserves at least a nobel peace prize and a blessing from whatever God you do or do not believe in 10/10 I love you guys this made my entire decade

    Ezell's is a A Seattle MUST! Listen folks, I am a native of Kentucky, so I know my fried chicken. When in Seattle when it comes to chicken, it has to be the Famous Ezell's! Don't even waste your time going to anywhere else! I recommend the spicy chicken, the mac and cheese, and omg the rolls! They are sooo good ! I order takeout from Ezells on the regular and they never disappoint. The chicken is always crispy and delicious, the rolls fluffy and soft, and the mac...well...you'll see. LOVE ME SOME EZELLS 10/10

    Mix of regular and spicy chicken.

    Get the spicy strips. So delicious and not to hot. We door dashed to a hotel and could not try the sides until later. They did not pack utensils as requested. Chicken is amazing and would definitely buy again. The sides are ok.

    We doordashed a 1 pound chicken tender combo from here and it was. so. good. Granted it was midnight and it was definitely sort of a drunchie but I loved it. The rolls have a hint of sweetness, the chicken is super crispy, and the mac and cheese is solid. Bonus points if you make chicken and waffles with the leftovers the next morning ;)

    Staying in Seattle for the weekend. We ordered Ezelle's to our hotel room on our last night so we could stay in and chill (because we are middle age). I was so excited to eat chicken and watch football after a fun day out. We ordered 2 small tender combos with mashed potatoes and orange crush. We added a side of Mac & cheese to share. Disappointment is what we got. So pros: the food came fast and the order was 100% correct. The bottled Orange Crush was a delightful menu surprise. It was cold and perfect. The ok: the chicken - it was just ok. Cooked well but just not super flavorful. Dipping in ranch helped. The bad: all of the sides!! The mashed potatoes and gravy were what my husband was most looking forward to. He took one bite and said, Nope! It just wasn't very good. The Mac and cheese was so bland that I did the same thing - took one bite and said, Nope! The rolls looked like they would be great but they just weren't. The rolls weren't bad, I guess, but neither of us ate after two bites. The second bite was to confirm that we didn't like them. It may be that our experience is down to our personal tastes but we are pretty universal in our enjoyment of all of these items when they taste good so maybe not.

    I ordered a 1/2lb tender meal and they only gave me 2 tenders in the box. I called them to double check how many tenders I'm supposed to get. The lady said 4-5 and I said there was only 2 in the box and she proceeded to constantly say "we don't do that. It's impossible. We don't do that." And when I asked "what do you mean," she hung up on me. I think it's crazy how entitled they are to think they're never wrong. "Customer is always right," doesn't exist here. Would not recommend to anyone. Poor service and rude workers.

Got the half spicy half normal and dusting of spice was perfect. The fact that this is gluten free (which is fantastic for all GF folks in our family) is even more Amazing how they got everything right with the crunch and flavor. Potato skins and garlic rice were good too, though less garlic would have been better. Could easily make this into a garlic egg fried rice and larger portions. The staff were super attentive and took time to explain everything to first time visitors. Steady stream of take out orders as seating is limited. Would come back to try the other sides too. Happy to report no reaction for gluten free member of our family, top marks for safety.

Our order was waiting for us and the front staffer was nice and friendly. The restaurant is spacious with a homey, kitschy vibe and the front wall of windows were wide open. On a hot summer day, this would be a nice, airy place to eat in. We might eat there next time. 10 minutes later we were home and looking forward to digging into our chicken! We split a Large Bag o' Bites which were crispy, savory, and delicious breaded chicken breast pieces. We also got the three piece combo: two drumsticks and a thigh. We got everything non-spicy and found it all to be delicious, moist, and crispy. I am especially grateful that Cookie's makes their fried chicken WITHOUT DAIRY since I have a hard time digesting milk protein. Thank you, Cookie's for a filling and delicious dinner of fried chicken. We will be back!

    Cookie's was a let down, I'll start out with that. I had all the hope in the world that this place…read morewas going to wow me, but alas, it was not to be. I'll start with some positives: you can order directly on their website (as opposed to being forced to use some fee-heavy service like DoorDash), they're quick, and the Barn Burner sandwich was good. Now for the cons. Either they messed my order up or I was the fool here and screwed up when ordering online, but the four piece tendies I got were plain and utterly spice-less. Being a pepper head and spice fiend, this was a bummer, but it forced me to see that the chicken wasn't seasoned very well. Outright bland one might say. The chicken also had a kind of toughness to it. Not from being really dry or anything, but more from the raw cuts of meat not being trimmed correctly, like I was eating bits of tendon or something. Hey when I order tendies I thought that was cutesy-short for tenders not tendons! They weren't bad, but they were not very good either. The Barn Burner sandwich was decent though, and at a level three of spice, it had a nice heat. I'll give them another chance down the road, but ultimately, in a city that has so many great fried chicken options (Triangle Spirits, S/T Hooligans, and Sisters and Brothers), it's going to be hard to make the decision to choose them again after the meal I had.

Unfortunately, the first Uber Eats driver never delivered my order and apparently took the food instead. When I called the restaurant, the employees explained that they had already handed the order to the driver. Uber then contacted the store, and they kindly remade my meal and had it delivered. The employee I spoke with on the phone was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the whole situation. Huge shoutout to her for providing such excellent customer service! As for the food, I really enjoyed it! Everything arrived hot, fresh, and tasted wholesome. I tried the strawberry and mango lime juices--they were good, although not very sweet or flavorful. I'm guessing that's because they're made with less sugar. They also included a complimentary flan to make up for all the confusion, which was a very thoughtful gesture. Thank you!

Even the salsas did not help with the blandness. Now I usually get the 2 piece chicken meals. The bone in chicken has way more seasoning than the chicken they chop up & put into the bowls! Way more tasty. I've tried a few sides and the main sides I get is corn with flour tortillas. Now for the sides I don't like. The mac & cheese is terrible - tastes just like the type you would find in the Safeway or grocery store deli except with way more fake cheese. The mashed potatoes are meh - reminds me of kfc but worse. The rice is instant rice so there's that. I hope they change their rice to actual Mexican style rice one day. The churros are good! The service is friendly when there are actual adults there (weekdays during traditional work hours). On the weekends you'll likely be served by friendly Gen Z'ers (or younger) who are friendly to you but are goofing off and cursing with other fellow Gen Z'ers in between serving customers. Sigh.
