Walked in during lunch on Monday. Easy to find and plenty of free parking. Clean interior and the service was friendly and fast. I ordered takeout but the food was still warm when I got home. The spicy chicken is the best in town! read more

Love their chicken, especially the spicy strips. Smaller location so best for to go orders. Good service and great for a quick meal.

One of my pleasures with Yelp reviews is updating and upgrading a review. That is the case here. On my previous visit I was unimpressed with this Ezell's location. Given Ezell's popularity, I felt I owed them a second chance. I went to the same location and made the same order, and... THE ROSES: Everything I liked before is still here: clean location, and very delicious chicken (spicy dark meat). The difference was that every piece (4 legs, 4 thighs), meets my standard of 'Only serve it if you're proud of it'. THE THORNS: Nothing worth mentioning COMMENT: One of the issues I had with Ezell's is that it seemed rather spendy for what you're getting. If you're doing takeout fried chicken, you can get as good for less (but you can't get spicy; if you want spicy, you need to come to Ezell's). However, is you compare Ezell's prices against only similar competitors (KFC, Jolibee), Ezell's pricing is competitive, and their quality is easily the match or superior of anyone else. THE VERDICT: It isn't hard to see why Oprah Winfrey will order Ezell's to be flown to her home. It is very good chicken. Recommend. read more

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. read more

Ezell's Famous Chicken - So much breading, not so much meat. - Southern Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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 read more

Amazing chicken. Submitted an online order, and food was hot and ready when I came in. read more

Horrible! I was looking forward to a new fried chicken joint for years after the local KFC closed. I had Ezell's a few years prior to their opening here and it was great, but when I went to the new one... DRY AS FUCK, you can't tell me there's anything blander than this! It was like eating chicken smothered in dirt and leaving it out to build up bacteria and mold, I went there again a week later thinking it would be like the comfort food I used to eat all the time at a different location but no, somehow it was even worse as if that was possible I thought. I felt like my tongue was being betrayed because of how nasty it was. I would rather eat dog treats and leave it out for 3 days than eat this it was so bad. Do not order here unless you're planning on teaching a class about how God hates us all. read more

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! read more

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.. read more

Wow, this really is finger licking good chicken.. Stopped by for some bird today and can't share my exuberance on having some quality fine fried chicken. Now I'm a drumstick and chicken strips guy and boy did Ezell deliver the goods. Can't wait to come back for more.. read more

Ordered online and they were packaging my food as I walked in. They actually took the rolls for my order out of the oven in front of me! The chicken was crisp and juicy, and their rolls were fresh and hot. Couldn't ask for more read more

I love Ezell's Famous Chicken! I've been to their locations in the Central District and Wallingford, so I am really excited that they decided to come to West Seattle! They are located in the Morgan Junction, on the corner of Fauntleroy Way and California Ave. It used to be an AT&T store and they share a parking lot with Thriftway. I recently went there on a weekday around lunchtime and I had a great experience. There was actually no line which was awesome. The employee at the counter took my order and I got my food quickly. I took my order to go, but they do have a few tables and chairs for dining in. I ordered the 4 Piece Chicken Dinner Combo: 4 pieces of fried chicken (your choice of Original, Spicy, or Half & Half), 2 bread rolls, and 2 regular (6 oz) side dishes (your choice of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, or baked beans). It was more than enough food for two people. I will definitely be eating here again and I would recommend it to others! read more

I love Ezell's spicy blend and crispy chicken coat! It's the best, along with the fluffy roll they serve. The chicken is 5- star, as is the easy online ordering and friendly staff. The sides are not my favorite, though pleasant enough. I wish they offered some greens, and that the slaw was a little crispier. I usually get mash/gravy, sometimes baked beans. This isn't really a dine in experience, though you could if you were in a rush to eat. There are a few tables, but it's much nicer to do takeout and then collapse into a food coma in the comfort of your home. read more

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 read more

The fried chicken if great! Better than KFC and Church's. The peach cobbler is not my Grandmother's but it is good. Sides are generous and the staff is very friendly. Weird parking - not their fault. They serve Pepsi products, which is a personal bummer and does not speak to the quality of food or service, but you should know before you go. Busy after work and at lunch. Dine-in spots are limited. read more

Angel provided me fantastic customer service. As soon as I walked in he was attentive and got me my pick up order. The food was delicious - we had the chicken strips, fried okra, 2 piece combo and cobbler, all things I'd get again. The location in West Seattle is clean and easy to get to as well! Thanks Angel and Ezell's! read more

Very impressed with the great customer service this young guys provide. Delicious fried chicken!

This is the go-to place when I'm looking for some chicken livers. I know they have other fried chicken, but hey I'm into chicken livers and fried okra. Forget all the other stuff as my love is for just these two things. It's pretty easy to park and ordering is very efficient as they have a process to churn out the fried chicken. With chicken livers you have to wait an extra 10-15 minutes as they have to make them fresh. read more

Came to visit here in Seattle for two weeks and this was nearby so I had to try it! Everything was delicious and just perfect imo. Service was good too, although I will miss their rolls. Mac & Cheese was good as well as their mashed potatoes had a nice & different kick to it. Loved how you can also buy a half dozen or full dozen of rolls! Will definitely be back when i'm around the area. read more

Can't believe it. Another 4 piece without a breast.... Check your orders folks. I posted. Few months ago with the same problem

I wanted to order from caviar. It didn't go through so I called and they deal with door dash. 1st the food is not that good anymore. I miss them 15years ago. 2nd. They left caviar for door dash after I have a subscription with caviar. Then they advocate for a subscription for DoorDash. Probably the same company. I refuse. $9 difference in price. They don't honor your price and jack it up. Food may not have been good anyway. It was not the last time. And it sucks. read more

For some reason, this place has gone downhill. It seems like the chicken is over cooked with no spice anymore. Sometimes when you get the thigh it still has its feather or wing connected so it's like you're eating bone. Just disappointed. read more

I just wanted one or two chicken strips to snack on but I had to buy a minimum of 3 and a roll for $7.99 What a rip off! They were really tiny strips, the chicken looked boiled and the batter was pale too. Apparently I didn't tip enough!! (I did tip as the credit card machine asked and as someone who also works in the service industry, I get it) but the staff could be friendlier and more enthusiastic! I was really looking forward to it but was very disappointed. read more

OK. The last two times we have been there to PICK UP ONLY, have been a cluster. It seems to me 85% of those youngsters seem like they are smoking dope ( or something) along with frying chicken. There have been at least 6-7 workers there each time, one or two extremely helpful, while the others are doing who knows what. How can one kid be running his tail off, with the others standing around the back chatting, or MIA? Why is a young lady, working around industrial cookers pulling off her personal headphones to assist? Whoever manages this store needs to open their eyes, promote the few great workers, and get rid of the lazy bones not doing a thing while the line gets longer. My husband actually had to say " hey is anyone working, or what"?! read more

5 star taste - 3 star ambience (its really noisy) and 3 stars for chicken. I've been a fan of Ezell's for years. This location opened just this year. Both pieces of chicken had a ton of fat. Both pieces were soggy from the grease picking away the Globs of fat was gross. I'm sure other people are happy they set up shop in West Seattle but I don't think my experience will have me returning soon. I don't like that there was so much waste with the container and a fairly thick plastic bag. I also had a lot of wasted chicken because of overly greasy skin and globs of fat. Go ahead and criticize me for my opinion. Maybe they are still working out the kinks. read more

Wanted to check out Ezell's famous chicken & see what all the hype was about, went on one of their busiest days which was Saturday around lunch time & even though it was busy, the service was pretty fast & employees were nice despite how chaotic it was in there. As for the food, the spicy chicken was nothing special I've had better but nonetheless it was still good. The mashed potatoes with gravy, Mac n cheese & baked roll were pretty delicious. read more

The best chicken we have had in Washington. So tasty and fresh. Also the sides and bread so yummy!! And Dolorean was really nice and helpful. She made us feel welcome. Always with a very nice attitude and smile. I felt like I was in Louisana, were they serve the best fried chicken and people are nicer and relaxed (I'm from LA) also the restaurant was very clean. Thank you for such a great experience :) read more

Th people and service here was excellent. The food was mostly awful. Beans and rolls were delicious but the chicken was so dry with hard breading. Paying $25 for 2 people and throwing all but the beans and rolls away deserved a. 1 star. read more

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

Yet again they messed up on our order.. first off the employees customer service sucked, they were too busy talking and flirting to even really help us. Ontop of that we asked for spicy chicken and the chicken did not taste spicy at all and the rolls looked undercooked. Also the Cajun fries were undercooked and it was highly disappointing. I come here often and for the price I just paid for this meal I hate to say it but it was a waste of money. I spent $50 here and my food should have been up to par not how it got served to me, ontop of that literally they acted like they were so busy talking that they couldn't answer my question when I had asked for something. This is highly unacceptable and I do not recommend eating here at all ‍. Also there's no reason I the customer should feel as though I am getting blankly ignored. I'm so very disappointed in the service and on top of that I'm still trying to figure out what was funny since your employees wanted to be back there laughing so loud looking in mine and my boyfriends direction. Ezells I'm highly disappointed and if I could give you guys zero stars I would. There's no reason I come here so often and every time you guys mess up on my order, or something is undercooked to the point where it's damn near raw . So very disappointed. To anyone who eats here be careful your chicken might turn out pink or your Mac n cheese might be old like how they served us old Mac n cheese and raw chicken or your fries might be undercooked. Beware I have gotten sick off this locations food before and I thought maybe they changed let me give them another chance... nope it was the same‍‍. read more

I'm sure Ezell's makes good fried chicken for most customers. I prefer a different taste in fried chicken. It is not crispy enough for me. I also prefer more seasoning. The smell of fried chicken cooking as I walked in to order my two piece white meat meal, was hypnotic. But, unfortunately, the my meal didn't live up to the wonderful aroma. This was my first time trying Ezells. I will try it again just to make sure my assessment was accurate. I love fried chicken and it would be great if I could get it close to home. read more

Limited choice of chicken you get a leg and I think a thigh (skinny thigh)... for a very high price.. same price you could buy a 6 pack of chicken at neighboring grocery stores.... I am good with paying top dollar for quality... sadly what I got was chicken from an anorexic chicken hardly any meat.. and taste isn't $50'plus dollars great, assuming deep fry grease was clean.... I do understand it was their first day of business ... But dumping $50 plus dollars for 1 chick plates and a chicken strip plate and a few sides, should be something memorable. On a plus, white meat chicken strips were decent and a couple sides were ok... Family of 4 plan to spend $60 plus dollars... K read more

After waiting in line for an hour before paying and then another half hour after paying I asked one of the counter people how much longer? He found my check, which was just a 8 piece, and said it would be another 20 minutes. When I questioned why several others who came after me had already been served he became hostile. At that point I demanded my money and the $5 tip returned. He told me to take it up with corporate for a refund. I never got the food or the refund of $28.50 I wasn't the only angry customer they had that day read more
