Reviews For Ezell's Famous Chicken

Fried Chicken Royalty Ezell’s is nothing short of legendary. From the first crispy bite to the last morsel of tender, juicy meat, this is fried chicken done to absolute perfection. The seasoning is spot-on—savory, flavorful, and impossible to forget. I’ve tried a lot of fried chicken in my day, but Ezell’s consistently stands tall. Their sides are just as impressive—the mashed potatoes are creamy, the rolls are warm and soft, and the mac & cheese? A hug in a bowl. Service is always friendly and fast, and you can tell the team takes real pride in what they’re serving. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or settling in for a soul-satisfying meal, Ezell’s delivers comfort food that’s worthy of the hype. Seattle is lucky to have them!

Easy online ordering that cut the wait time. Friendly crew. The place was packed always a line. But I know why. The food was excellent. Love the Mac & cheese. Ordered enough to have more for dinner the Mountain Dew (only PepsiCo product I will drink) was not working

Ezell's is a Seattle staple for a reason. Been here countless times and love it every time. P.S. You might want to order extra rolls. They're delicious.

Delicious and amazing homemade fried chicken! Highly recommended and supports Veterans/military the MAC and cheese is great! Portions are large, crispy spicy chicken is the best choice. Employees wear mask and protect themselves and the customers. They use one time paper containers that are environmentally responsible. My first visit and I wasn't disappointed now I know why Oprah Winfrey supports this business

What an outstanding experience!!!! I placed a large order the night before, and of course, everything was completed on schedule, hot and fresh. I really appreciate the friendly and professional team at Ezell's.

I've visited this location since I was a child and they've never disappointed! They're a takeout restaurant so there's no seats available inside and you'll have to take the food home but if you're like me, you can also just eat it inside your car in the parking lot. The spicy 2-piece chicken and large crinkle cut fries are my go-to order and definitely worth trying if you've never been here before!

Been going for years but I'm sure we are done. Today's chicken could not have been any smaller. Very disappointed.
