How are the prices at Fryzone?

Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 46 reviews.
How this restaurant’s value for money stacks up against similar spots in Seattle.

Great Food, Terrible Smell
My experience involved trying the wild west fries. The spice level was medium, and the portion size was good, though I felt it could have used a little more chicken. The sauce combo with peppers was quite tasty.
The service was fast and friendly. However, the restaurant had a strong, unpleasant odor, described as smelling like a portal potty, which made dining inside unimaginable. I suggest using air fresheners or fans to address this issue.

Amazing Food, Dated Restaurant
My experience at this restaurant was a tale of two halves. The food was absolutely fantastic! I particularly enjoyed the Wild West Fries with buffalo sauce and chicken bits.
The fries and chicken were perfectly crispy, and the buffalo sauce offered a great balance of flavor, which is often a concern for me with buffalo sauce. The portion size was generous, keeping me full for hours. However, the restaurant itself was not as impressive.
While the staff was friendly and helpful, the facility was very outdated, and the restroom was in bad shape. I would definitely eat the food again, but I might consider ordering in next time to avoid the atmosphere.
