A local chain; this is the original location. Oprah's favorite fried chicken in Seattle . All kinds of tempting pies for dessert . The employees are super nice and gave me extra sides at closing time.
Get the spicy . It will be the best fried chicken you've ever had. Thank God as crispy skin rains down on your garments. Get a roll to use to mop the grease from your face and then stuff in your mouth.
Fast-food fried chicken joint made famous by Oprah. Try the dark meat snack pack , which comes with a leg, thigh, and biscuit . Multiple locations.
Oprah's favorite fried chicken ! Also, some of mine. They've started opening up a few restaurants in the area, but this one is the OG. Try the gizzards if you're feeling adventurous.
I understand why people like it. I just think it's like good "extra crispy " KFC. I don't like extra crispy . I like original recipe . I digress. It's definitely worth checking out a few times.
The rolls are awesome. The fried chicken is amazing, but I always forget about the roll until I eat it, and then I remember how amazing the rolls are. So soft and sweet!
It's good, and strangely addictive. Great rolls, potato salad , coleslaw , and of course chicken . One of my regular spots for an easy Friday night meal. Watchout for the parking lot jams
Wow. I usually dislike fried chicken , but this was amazing. The sauce was so good, and I honestly can't think of anything I would change about it.
Seattle's own fried chicken chainlet serves up wings and thighs with a crisp, crunchy coating. Opt for the spicy recipe and grab a giant pile of napkins. [Eater 38 Member] Read more
The gizzards are my favorite fried pieces of deliciousness in the city . They make you wait 10 min for them but it's completely worth it.
can't go wrong with fried chicken..a Seattle staple..always get spicy !
Ezell's is not on most "Top 10 Things You Must Do in Seattle" lists, but it damn well should be. Trust me that you want the Spicy .
Fried chicken , BBQ beans , and soft roll came hot via delivery and oh so tasty. Would order again.
Man...delicious. Get the pound of chicken tenders - spicy , of course - sit back, and prepare to stuff your face.
Get half & half - Spicy & Regular! Great pick up and bring home treat for the family, but not a good option if you're looking to sit down.
Get the spicy chicken tenders (strips). You can thank me later. Also, the potato salad is excellent.
Kernel corn is an amazing side, everyone in the family loves it.
Love the classic chicken strips , and the fried okra is amazing.
it's all about the spicy strip with the sauce! the rolls fries well dang chicken too a bunch of stuff!
Get the chicken strips the first time. Good bang for buck. Also try their soda "Faygo" they don't sell it in stores but its the best soda you will have ever had.
Spicy chicken is always Great especially with rolls
The bread is great! It’s soft and not too sweet
Skip the gizzards and okra . There is a reason the place has "famous chicken " in the name. Stick to that and you won't be disappointed.
Best chicken tenders in the west coast
Every Monday till the end of 2012, 1.4$ 2pc dark + roll. 1 per customer. What a steal!
The Spicy breading is tasty, and it's not too hot.
Just in case you need it, there's additional parking across the street.
The gizzards are where it's at! Or the pie ... The pie for sure.
The magic is in the batter. Oh, and mix the potato salad and baked beans together.
It might not look like much, but don't let appearances fool ya
The baked bean side is great.
Famous for Fed Ex’ing some chicken to Oprah it’s that good.
Spicy chicken and fresh baked rolls!
Always get the spicy fried chicken - original isn't as good!
Large Spicy w/ hot sauce and an extra roll! Best Chicken in Seattle !
Garfield High School across the street gets out a little before 3:00. Expect a long line
Spicy , means seasoned well . Not hot as hell :-D
Don't shy away from the special orders. It's worth the extra wait!
This place used to be a burger stand that would regularly give free burgers to a starving Jimi Hendrix who grew up near here.
Fried Chicken so good, luckily it's located near a hospital :)
Spicy gizzards and grape soda . Gizzards take longer when you order them so be prepared to wait.
Reccos: Dark meat + Fries (with your own salt) are the only good things here.
Get a jalapeño and squeeze the juice over your chicken !
Get the spicy chicken !
best deal is to get a snack pack and share!
