In 1984, Ezell’s Famous Chicken opened its first location in the Seattle area. Over 36 years later, the locally-owned family business has grown, while members of the founding family are still active and involved every day.
What we stand for
Quality. Community. Family. Tradition. Pride. Giving back. Resilience. Dedication. Loyalty. Honesty. Fun.
And, of course: the best, freshest, most delicious fried chicken you’ve ever tasted—with mouth watering sides and desserts made fresh and from scratch every day of the week. That’s the Ezell’s Famous Chicken difference, and what sets us apart from all others.
Community First
As our cofounder Lewis Rudd often says, “Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to raise a business.” At Ezell’s Famous Chicken, giving back is a core value. From delivering over 5,000 meals to front-line health care workers since the pandemic began to establishing a grant program to support local Black-owned businesses, if there’s a need in our community, we do our best to be there—just as our community has been there for us since we opened our first location in 1984.
For Ezell’s, it’s not enough to serve GOOD food, but we must also DO GOOD for our community. We are committed to giving back, and supporting organizations who help those in need. Read stories of our community impact to learn how we do good for our neighborhoods on our website.
