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

“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!“

“Nothing but love for a local chicken joint with nothing but love for me and mine. ❤️ fantastic atmosphere, good music, good food! Try the honey butter biscuit fried chicken sandwich, with some hot sauce, your soul will thank you. Much love to all of the staff there, y'all have saved my behind and fed my soul, more than I care to admit.“

“Not just THE BEST buttermilk biscuits, but the best GLUTEN FREE biscuits! I ate them too fast to take a photo and will be ordering more! The bacon in the MacGregor was perfect and I loved the cheese on the Pike. They're crispy on the outside, perfect for your favorite toppings, and flakey on the inside. I took them home and they paired well with breakfast and the chili I had for dinner. Huge thank you to the staff for the recommendations! If you haven't been here, what are you waiting for?“

“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.“

“Food bbq 🍖 music 🎶 and friends yay!!“

“Outstanding breakfast. Everything perfectly prepared and delicious! Also love the eclectic decor!“

“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!!“

“the fried pork chops are amazing!“

“I had the BamBam Smashburger and hush puppies and was very satisfied with my meal. My son enjoyed his macaroni also. I plan on coming back and visit from Yakima soon again.“

“Visiting Seatlle and stopped by her for Breakfast. The breakfast sandwich was a great taste and great value for money.

Also loved the attitude of the manager who politely but firmly told the waiting patrons to be patient while their food was made.“

“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 ⏰🗓️“

“Awesome biscuits. Had the cheesy gritty gravy biscuit (probably not word for word from the menu). Wish I could've eaten it inside, but there are tables and chair on the sidewalk, which turned out to make for a nice morning. The area is a little questionable...not dangerous though. Security hangs out nearby, and I never felt threatened...Just including this for families with kids. No ding on the restaurant's rating!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“first time eating hear. food is amazing. I had a brisket sandwich with potato salad and mac & cheese. some of the best BBQ around in my book. everyone should swing on threw and get some. you wont be disappointed. definitely making a detour by there more often“

“The place reminds me of an old school soul food restaurant. The chicken was crispy and juicy and you could tell it was made from fresh not frozen chicken. It didn't need the hot sauce I ordered but it tasted great with a little dabbed on it.The Mac n cheese and baked beans taste like they were made from scratch.
Service was fast and super friendly. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Seattle.“

“It's been a while since I had some Ezell's chicken, and I was craving some. The chicken gizzard was amazing and crispy. The famous chicken was a bit too salty this time, the meat was juicy, and the skin crispy. The fries were soft and felt disappointing.

Service was excellent, the staff was friendly when we asked some questions.

Overall a decent experience, but disappointed in the salty chicken.“

“It's Ezell's! It's a Seattle classic. My kid has grown up on their chicken tenders (1 pound - half/half, always) - they are a warm, familiar, delicous treat! Avoid DoorDash if you can - 1 pound of tenders on DoorDash (with 10% tip) was $46.04 - when I decided to pick up at the store on Rainier, it was $24.24. Save yourself some $ if you can, and support Ezell's directly!“

“The food was delicious and the servings were ample. They have a Mom and Pop feel with a really great menu.“
