    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'm addicted! Their chicken is so delicious and reasonably priced. Also when you order for pick-up it's ready in 10 minutes!

    This place is as close as I get to camping - cozy booths, decent food at reasonable prices, and…read moreattentive service. The camping aesthetic runs throughout, from the thermos used to serve water to the hammock hanging from the ceiling. I had the Chicken Salad, which was tasty, and my friend ordered the Roasted Cauliflower--equally good. We noticed the rose tucked into the mounted buck's mouth. When I asked the server about it, he smiled and said, "He's a romantic." There you have it - decent food, unusual digs, and a sentimental buck.

    This place was awesome! Such a unique concept that I haven't seen before. The restaurant is…read morecamping-themed, so the water containers they give you are Stanley thermos mugs, the chairs are camping chairs, and they even have a "tent room" you can sit in or rent out. They had a really good drink and food menu. For the table, we started with bruschetta. The chimichurri was my favorite part of the dish. For my main course, I decided on a Rainier tall boy, the steak, mashed potatoes, and added asparagus. This also came with the chimichurri, so I was very happy with this plate. The steak was perfectly cooked, but I do wish it had more of a char and more seasoning. For dessert, we got the s'mores. One with Hershey's milk chocolate and the other with a Reese's peanut butter cup. All the food was delicious, and the staff was very attentive.

    Stopped here for quick takeout. Yummy panko style fried fish and great jumbo fried prawns!…read more What stood out even more was kind service that we received. The people working here are genuinely so kind! I'll definitely be back!

    This place was good! Service was wonderful and kind. There's only 3 tables that seat 2 and 2…read morecounters that seat maybe 2-3 each. For food, I got the special, which I would recommend. It came with 2 pieces of cod, fries or coleslaw (I chose coleslaw. It does NOT come with raisins which I was very pleased about), tartar sauce, a drink, and 3 prawns. Prawns were my favorite part of the meal. Perfectly cooked. Coleslaw was pretty good, a little sweet, and helped cut all the oil. Cod and prawns were crunchy and not overly oily. My bf got the 3 piece cod which came with fries. The fries were dry, which means they were probably over fried. Clam chowder was pretty darn good. Mac n cheese was good but ultimately it reminded me of the mac n cheese I'd eat as a kid from frozen TV dinners, which made me nostalgic so not sure how to feel. Think I saw someone else say the pasta was overcooked. I wouldn't say it's overcooked but it's not al dente either. Tartar sauce is not free here! 79 cents each. I would recommend TWO containers for 1 order. I got 1 serving of tartar, which came with the special, and it was not enough for 2 piece cod + 3 prawns. We ordered another 1 serving of tartar for my bf and it was not enough for his 3 piece cod either. Overall my bf and I both separately came to the conclusion that it feels "homemade". Like stuff a family would make at home.
