Last night was our first opportunity to visit Ezell's since they had opened. Overall, they were better than we could have imagined, and we'll be visiting them again.
Regarding the food: After eating both their chicken tenders and bone-in chicken, my son and I are ranking them as our number one place for fried chicken, and to be fair we rank Dave's Hot Chicken number one for chicken sandwiches. Two different food styles.
More about the food: We tried both versions of their chicken, the spicy and regular. Go with the spicy as it is flavorful and not spicy hot. Both were tender and moist with a delicate crispy outer coating. The coating was not too thick however held its integrity and was crisp. Their coleslaw has a good flavor and is not over-sweet. Their rolls are fluffy yeast rolls that pair well with the chicken's flavor. They are almost in the same style as an Eastern sweet roll. Although we didn't have their mashed potatoes and mac and cheese side dishes this time, we were told that they peel potatoes every day in-house to make their mashed potatoes and not from powdered potatoes. We'll report on the potatoes and Mac and Cheese next time.
Lastly on the food: Recommend combining the rolls, the chicken tenders, coleslaw, and honey mustard as a mini sandwich. You won't be disappointed.
The Service: Although I can't remember the gentleman who helped us at the counter last night, he was nice, articulate, and knew the product. It was a good start to the experience. Later we got to meet Ethan who was full of great conversation and generously sharing information. Way to go. Both made our first experience at the restaurant a welcoming experience. Although I understand that places get busy and staff need to meet the busy demands, I applaud people who take those extra minutes to make the experience a unique friendly exchange. Again, way to go and make it your own. Keep at it.
The atmosphere: it's not fancy eating, however, it's clean, organized, and well-maintained. Paper towel holders were not empty, and the soda fountain area was clean. The walls were not dirty and the seats/tables were clean. I did notice that the crew was consistently wiping and cleaning something when they were not busy with orders and guests.
Overall: This is an absolute place to visit or take out from as we did see several to-go orders being taken out.
