17 Best Southern Restaurants in Seattle

“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.“

“Just WOW!!! The Varner is MONEY!!! Very Unique spot. Nice people, great service!“

“the fried pork chops are amazing!“

“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?“

“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.“

“Wow great fried chicken - my brother claims it was life changing 😀. Nothing more to say except it's recommended by Oprah!“

“Fridays and Saturdays Live Best live DJ's you can find! Go check em out!!!“

“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!“

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

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

“The food is so good you'll punch your own face.“

“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!!“

“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“

“I asked if I'd ordered sauce because I thought I might have forgotten. As I was checking the bag the server replied that whatever I ordered was there. Well, it was there and like I said, I wasn't sure that I included it in my order. Her response might have been defensive though there was no need to be. My other encounters have been with friendly genial staff. She just needs a little customer service training.“

“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.“

“Loved the food I was amazed with the quantity. It was a good amount. My only regret is I didn't get more BBQ sauce.

Parking: The street it is on was very busy something into the parking lot was difficult due to traffic. It could of just been rush hour.“

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