    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

Honestly perfect. Pork chops were fried not smothered and were also delicious. Nothing was dry and it was all crispy. For sides we ordered Mac and cheese, yams, mash potatoes and rice & beans. Mash potatoes something tasted off about them. They were ok but not my preferred of the sides we got. The other sides were perfect, Mac and cheese is peppery but I liked that.

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.

All this was a bit pricey for a meal. We ordered our food to go, so once our food is ready, they'll bring it out to our car. Which is a very nice service! But it did take a long time to get our food, I'm glad that it was fresh though. As for the food itself, I thought the chicken could've had a little bit more salt. But we did have the hot sauce on the side to dip, which made it good. The catfish was delicious, lots of flavor there. Nana's special sauce that was offered, made it even better! The sides were good, but for the cornbread. I would've liked it more moist. The place is very relaxed and chill, with many customers enjoying their food inside or waiting outside for the nice lady to drop off their order.

We ended up at the bar and honestly it worked out perfectly. Our bartender was friendly, engaging and just made us feel right at home. Another staff member came through at some point and was equally as kind. The service all around was great. Now let me talk about the food because that cabbage had no business being that good. I know that sounds random but it was my favorite thing and I did not see that coming. The mac and cheese was delicious, the fried chicken was really good, and my husband was all about the rice and black eyed peas (surprisingly). I also ordered a non alcoholic drink and even though I cannot remember the name it was really good too. The only minor thing was that one of the items, I think it was the hush puppies or cornbread, came out a little lukewarm. They mentioned it can be hard to keep that particular item hot, and flavor wise it was YUM so it was not a dealbreaker. Everything else comes out fresh as it's cooked so just know timing can vary by dish. It did get crowded toward the end and they politely let us know people were waiting outside. They handled it with so much grace it did not feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back. Already curious about what will be on the menu next time.

We didn't have a reservation, but after about a 10-minute wait, we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The seating seems intentionally designed to bring people together, and you could see it in the mix of large groups, couples, and even solo diners. Like the name, it had a "communal" energy that made the space feel alive and intimate. The hostess, bartenders, and our waitress were all phenomenal. They were attentive and easy to talk to. Also, the playlist was good. It really added to the overall experience. We started with the sweet potato hoe cakes, and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the texture. They were soft, pillowy, and balanced. They weren't too sweet, even with the honey butter. I wish I'd ordered more to go because I haven't stopped thinking about them. I'll have to try recreating them at home. For my entree, I ordered the stuffed trout, and this is where things really took off. It's a whole fried trout stuffed with a seafood dressing (shrimp, catfish and oysters), and it immediately caught my eye on the menu. I'm not used to eating whole fish, and I don't think I'd even had trout before, but this dish was mouthwateringly good. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. The béarnaise sauce really set it off. There were so many layers of flavor and texture, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the presentation was stunning. I posted it on my Instagram story and immediately had people asking where my food was as from. This meal was very memorable. I have zero notes. The ambiance, food, music, and service were all top-tier. Side note: There is a 5% "communal" surcharge added to every bill. The money is used to support staff benefits, the support staff, and the line cooks. This is separate from the gratuity. This surcharge is clearly explained on the menu, and I really love and appreciate the transparency and that they care about the employees. But yeah. Super good. We love a good meal and we damn near left there skipping.

The only downside was the waffles, they were a bit thin and not crispy at all, like a pancake. I'm hoping that was just an off day.

    Tucked away on Leary in ballard is an amazing biscuit place. I used the plastic knife as a size…read morecomparison.So you have an idea of just how enormous these biscuits are. Super crisp and crusty on the outside, flaky. Tender and moist on the inside one biscuit is enough for 2 meals. They have some pretty interesting options here, though I've never had anything. But just the plain biscuit with butter or jam. It's one of those seattle hidden gems that if you don't know about it, you'll never find it.So i'm putting it out here.So, you all can bask in the biscuit glory, that it is

    I haven't eaten many biscuits since moving to Seattle even though I grew up devouring them in the…read moreSouth. It's mostly because I find the large majority of biscuit places on the West Coast to be subpar - either dense and dry inside, or too similar to cake, like the baker substituted cake flour for good old fashioned White Lily. When I saw a bunch of people recommend Seattle Biscuit Company, I decided to give them a try. The first time I visited a biscuit place in the PNW a ton of people recommended, Pine State Biscuits in Portland for reference, I came out extremely disappointed. Hopefully this time would be different. I have to say, pricing is a bit ridiculous here. Just as a comparison point, the special fried chicken biscuit here is $27. The fried chicken biscuit at the place I grew up eating at is currently $5. The plain biscuit is $7 here vs. $1.29 there. Is it worth the price? I started out with a plain biscuit to judge their basic building block: Plain Biscuit ($7) - These are massive biscuits, around half a pound in weight, easily dwarfing the size of 90% of other biscuits. The smell wafting out of the paper wrapper smells heavenly with the aroma butter and flour. The taste reminds me of my childhood growing up in the South. It's distinctively buttery and salty, warm and comforting, almost spot on in taste as compared to say, Bojangles. A lot of places on the West Coast don't add enough salt or butter, making the biscuit taste unpleasantly alkaline. This one has no issues at all in the flavor department. The bake on the biscuit is fantastic, leaving the exterior with a crisp crust all around, while the inside still remains moist and fluffy. It's not particularly layered or flaky, and the interior, while fluffy, has a bit more developed gluten, making it just slightly chewy and slightly denser than perfection. When trying to split by hand, it doesn't split cleanly and instead chunks, especially in the center. Yet it's moist and doesn't crumble apart easily. These biscuits stand on their own and don't need any accompaniment to be enjoyed. Out of all the biscuits I've eaten on the West Coast so far (15+ places), this one tastes the most like a good Southern biscuit. (5/5) I was impressed enough with the biscuit that I revisited the week afterwards to try a sandwich: Gus ($27) - This sandwich seems very expensive until the plate comes out. In between the giant biscuit comes two pieces of fried chicken breast (or perhaps one piece filleted into two). It's breaded and fried generally well - the outside is definitely crisp, although it doesn't adhere that well to the chicken and slides off very readily. The interior of the chicken is nice. I usually expect chicken breast to be dry, but this one is relatively moist, not dried out at all. The breading tastes sweet and salty. I wonder if they brine the chicken in sweet tea. Each side of the biscuit is slathered with a bit of sweet mustard and peppered with pickle slices, giving some acidity to cut through the sausage gravy fat. Between the pickles and the sweet breading, it reminds me of the flavor of a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. The sandwich is served on a bed of orange-colored sausage gravy. It's thick and rich, although perhaps a little on the floury side. There's plenty of sausage mixed in, giving a ton of meaty depth combined with black pepper and spices. In terms of portion size, my wife and I shared this sandwich and we had trouble finishing it. It's definitely enough for two people, which makes the pricing a little more palatable. (5/5) Sweet Tea ($5) - This one is definitely on the sweeter side compared to what I make at home. The tea doesn't have much astringency but it does have a nice generic black tea flavor. There aren't that many places in Seattle to get sweet tea, so I'd say it's passable. I did purchase additional plain biscuits as well and I have to say texture-wise, they are similar, but these new ones tasted distinctively less buttery than before. I think there might be some consistency issues although this second batch is still really good. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the biscuits served at Seattle Biscuit Kitchen. I will definitely be revisiting in the future for more. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms.
