10 Best Southern Restaurants near Kent

“Today I was blown away by this location’s customer service. I went in for a drumstick, it was going to be a 20minute wait because of the rush. My baby was nearing nap time, so I understood and said nevermind. My parents made an order and we waited for about 5 minutes. When we got in the car, we checked the order and found that he added a drumstick for me. As a tired mom with a fussy toddler, this gesture brought me to tears. Thank you Ezell’s for always going above and beyond! And of course it was delicious too!!“

“Been to Nana’s two times now each time the service is amazing, friendly staff. The food is outstanding every time, everything comes out perfect and tastes amazing. Highly recommend.“

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.“

“the fried pork chops are amazing!“

“Great friendly staff and the food is delicious! 👍😋 Could use more seasoning on catfish but other items like chicken and waffles or wings are seasoned to perfection! 💯🔥 Hours are unusual but make's it a spot you have to catch during the hours/days they are open ⏰🗓️“

“Went there to support my friends band that was playing there. I ordered a Jamison Manhattan. It was one of the skimpiest pours I've seen but that wasn't an issue. When I asked the price $28!!! That's twice the price of the Space Needle let alone a Des Moines dive bar.

Edit: Heard from one of the band members that the insane prices had been adjusted. I made a return visit and the prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was quaint and comfortable and the music was great. I plan to return.“

“we ordered 2 brisket and 2 chicken plates... no complaints. our sides were yams, collard greens, beans and okra. there was flavor, excellent (really more than enough) portion sizes. we will definitely visit again.“

“Ezell's chicken strips are my absolute favorite. Been here countless times. Staff is always cool. The strips take longer to cook than I prefer, but they are worth the wait. Their fried chicken is great too. I just prefer the regular strips. I could eat them every day. All the food is very good though. The fries and/or fried okra are my favorite sides. Just some good food!“

“the Federal Way store's phone number doesn't pick up. We wanted to follow up on a take out order where they shorted us on one item. Doesn't seem to be a way to contact them. Disappointing.“

“Love the food but y’all forgot my rolls in my Door Dash order 😭“
