I've been eating the spicy leg snack pack since high school. I also recommend a peach faygo for dessert!

Ezell's wasn't hot, fresh or seasoned. For there to be so many locations, I thought maybe they had a recipe for success. Well, my first time was not impressive at all. The peach cobbler was pretty good, but the dark meat chicken and thighs were sitting so long underneath the heat lamp that it drew the moisture out of the bird. 1st impressions are everything.

Delicious and quick takeout...I'm from the south-this was my first visit and I'll be back. Patricia cured my homesickness with her suggestions and stellar energy. The spicy chicken is perfect and the best honey mustard I've had in a while. I was stoked that the peach cobbler has a nice crispy top layer ❤️

I love Ezell's. It's right near my school (Nova) and I can walk over there and get an awesome chicken lunch for $10-15. Fair prices for the taste! My go-to order is the half pound spicy chicken tenders, combo with fries. Every order comes with a freshly baked roll that's buttery and flaky and not too sweet—or two rolls, if the order is bigger. They have options for spicy, original, and even half spicy half original in your basket, so there's something for everyone. I usually find napkins and a few salt and pepper packets thrown in there too, since the original tenders might taste a little bland to some. Their chicken always has the perfect crunch and fills me up. Other than chicken, they have a few sides you can order with your combo (5 or 6 I believe- including cole slaw, mashed potatoes, fries, mac n cheese).For my location specifically (on 23rd and Jefferson, across from Garfield and Nova High School): the only, ONLY thing some might not like is that the building itself is small, and when lots of people come in at once for the lunchtime rush, it can get really hot and loud inside, which might make it difficult to order. Especially if you have a quiet voice, have intense anxiety when ordering for yourself, or are prone to overstimulation by simultaneous sounds or heat. If ordering is an issue verbally, you can write down your order as legibly as possible and then give it to the person taking your order for them to read instead :) Plus this way, there's no risk that they'll hear your order wrong over the loud sounds and forget to add fries to your order :,) totally not from personal experience... but at least I wasn't charged for them. My fault y'all!

I was not that impressed with the chicken. I thought it was a little bland, and the mashed potatoes & gravy were very chemically tasting to me as well. For the price I payed the food was lack luster, however, the portions of chicken were emense.

Get the best tasting chicken in the world and go. That's your options and it's been that way since I moved near this location back in 1984. The pieces aren't as big as they used to be back then but the chicken is still to notch. Don't forget your Faygo and them delicious rolls.

I ordered 8 pieces of chicken combo but three of those pieces didn't have meat, the chicken was dry and the taste of the skin was a little bit weird.

The food was amazing! Crispy crunchy fried chicken and the rolls reminded me of my grandmother’s old fashion homemade rolls. If you are in Seattle, please visit!!

YOU JUST HAVE TO GET THE BONE IN DARK MEAT SPICY!!! Absolutely delicious and amazing.I tried this place 2 other times. The white meat chicken, and the chicken tenders. I had it all wrong. Just get the dark meat spicy and it's the best chicken you'll ever have. Especially at this location

The rolls are deliciousness ? with some spicy fried chicken and Peach cobbler was great eats!
