Comfort Food Restaurants near Bellevue, WA

“We came for the pool tournament and stayed for the steak! Absolutely incredible food! Highly recommended! Hospitality and service were top notch. From the time I gave them my card I was addressed by my first name and treated like a friend. Couldn’t ask for a better night! 5 star!!“

“I ordered pickup and it was ready a short time after I ordered. I was greeted politely and well taken care of by staff. Food was fantastic, stayed hot and fresh from the ride home. Love the flavor of the chicken and dinner rolls. Never had a bad order from Ezells. Would go again and again and again!“

“food was delicious. staff was very professional and courteous and friendly. awesome place to dine.“

“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.“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“Boiling Point Bellevue has become our weekly tradition, and for good reason! The food is always flavorful and consistent, but what truly sets this location apart is the incredible service. Every visit, the team goes above and beyond—they take such great care of us and make us feel genuinely welcomed. We love this crew so much. Highly recommended!“

“I recently visited MTR to experience authentic Bangalore-style South Indian food, hoping for the same traditional taste that MTR is known for back home. Overall, it was a pleasant visit with a few highlights and one notable disappointment.

We ordered the Idli Vada Sambar Dip, Bonda Soup, and the famous MTR Masala Dosa. The idli and vada were both soft and flavorful, and the sambar dip was excellent — rich, aromatic, and very close to the authentic Bangalore taste. The bonda soup was also enjoyable, light yet full of flavor.

However, the biggest letdown was the signature MTR Masala Dosa. Traditionally, MTR’s dosa is known for its distinct flavor and the signature red chutney spread inside, but here it was missing. The dosa itself was quite thin and lacked the authentic texture and taste, making it feel a bit overpriced for what was served.

That said, the restaurant was clean, service was quick, and the overall quality of food (apart from the dosa) was impressive. If they could bring back the signature MTR dosa style, it would elevate the experience significantly.

In summary, it’s a good place for authentic South Indian food, especially for idlis, vadas, and sambar — just not quite the full MTR Bangalore experience yet.“

“Best restaurant in the greater seattle area, friendly service and great food!!!“

“Beecher's is my favorite cheese ever, and I have to order it online to get it since they don't sell it in the stores in VA. So it was a dream to see it all in person in its original Seattle location! I bought a variety of their cheeses plus their cute little cutting boards with their logo on it!“

“I wish more people knew how great this place is! The food is great and the staff is so nice. I’ve been here with friends as well as brought my husband and son. The burgers and fries are amazing. My nine year old (and husband) loved looking at all the cool cars.“

“The happy hour beverage options are fantastic, I had a delicious Old Fashioned for a steal! The tots are always the best and the chicken sandwich was so crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that there is no option for grilled chicken/protein to be added to the salads. The options are either fried chicken or fried shrimp. My wife ordered a salad to be calorie conscious but the only way to add protein was for it to be fried, which negates the point. Add grilled protein options and this would be a 5 start review!“

“Moss Bay Hall is such a great place for casual get-togethers, business meetings, or just relaxing after hours. It’s always clean, the service is kind, and the environment is fun and welcoming. If you like sports, I guess they’ve got that covered too! The owners are incredibly community-minded and do so much good in the world — you can feel it in the way the place is run. And honestly, who doesn’t love a delicious smash burger? Highly recommend“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“They make some of the best pizza in Seattle, and honestly some of the best pizza I've had anywhere! Delicious sauce, great crust, toppings are excellent - best lunch is a couple of slices + a cookie and a Mannies :D“

“I went there randomly. Knocked at the door and Auntie came by, and told me everything's gonna take some time. I opted for just the Cheesecake as the neighborhood looked a little sketchy to be waiting around cluelessly. Mama was so sweet and endearing she gave me sambusas too. And the raspberry white chocolate Cheesecake was MIND BLOWING.“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“It doesn’t matter which plate you choose, I’m sure it’s gonna be delicious! Carbonara is amazing, the omelettes are great. Highly recommend! Been here several times with my wife over the years. Consistent quality food, service, vibes.“

“Yeobo Café and Bar, located at Madison and John in Seattle, is a super cute and chill spot. The team is exceptional, and I had the best sweet coffee of my life. Like seriously... toasted sesame with coffee is my new love language. I love their socially responsible no-tipping policy and how it fosters equitable compensation for the team. Mad kudos. With reasonable prices and comfy furniture, it’s the perfect everyday vibe. As in if I lived in the neighborhood I'd be there everyday.“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“I tried this place on a whim, hoping to find a new spot on the Ave over the monotony of other choices of which I had grown tired. This place quickly became a regular stop for a quick meal whenever classes or studying ran way too late. Great options and awesome portions! The flavors used to be more vibrant and tasty before remodeling, but since then, there have been moments when the food is lacking. Nonetheless, it’s a good place to try“

“Food here is so good, one of my favorite spots in Seattle!! Love the DanDan noodles and YiBin noodles , Pork Xiaolongbao, But the Dandan noodles have a slightly numbing taste, My mom doesn't like the taste but I like it very much! Also Lots of great vegan noodles options too which is much appreciated. Food also comes out very quick, and the atmosphere is very good , The service was great too!!! Gets pretty busy on weekend at night, so make sure to make a reservation. I will definitely be back ! ! and recommend it to my colleagues.“

“This is a really fun dive bar, but I was only there to order food and found out the kitchen doesn’t open until 3 PM. I will definitely be back. The layout reminds me of Brutal Poodle in Denver, but this place is more punk than metal and more cat than dog. Plus they’ve got pinball!“

“This place has been on my Seattle bucket list since we moved here earlier this year and I'm so thrilled we finally got to try it. One of the best meals I've had, absolutely incredible food. We ordered the chili wonton, orange chicken, kimchi fried rice, and XO rice rolls. I can't pick a favorite. They were all so good!!!“

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“Trying to eat lunch outside this Wells Fargo building is Seattle which houses several businesses but several employees smoking next to the facility that makes for a poor eating experience.

Also, could use more outside seating (some with umbrellas).“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Great food and customer service“

“From the moment I walked into House of Eve, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant — warm lighting, tasteful décor, and soft background music that creates a relaxed, intimate vibe without being pretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can have a quiet dinner for two, celebrate a special occasion, or just unwind after a long week.

The service was absolutely exceptional. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. She walked us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations and made sure our drinks were never empty. Every member of the staff we encountered had a smile and a sense of pride in what they do — something that really sets a restaurant apart.

Now, the food — wow. Every dish looked like something out of a magazine, but the flavors were even better. We started with the charred octopus appetizer, which was tender and perfectly seasoned with just the right touch of smokiness. The signature House of Eve steak was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, cooked perfectly medium-rare with a buttery herb sauce that I’ll be dreaming about for weeks. My partner had the sea bass special, which came with a light citrus glaze and roasted vegetables — fresh, delicate, and bursting with flavor.

Dessert was the grand finale. Their homemade chocolate lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream was heavenly — rich, decadent, and perfectly portioned. I also have to mention the cocktail list; the bartender clearly knows their craft. The “Eve’s Garden” cocktail was refreshing, floral, and beautifully presented.

You can tell that House of Eve takes pride in every detail — from the plating to the pacing of the meal to the way the staff makes you feel right at home. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the experience so completely.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers not just a meal but a memorable evening, House of Eve is it. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their seasonal menu. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!“

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

“If you live in Seattle and you love chicken, you must know Ezell's. This chicken is the one rumored to be the meal Opra sent her private jet to Seattle to pick up chicken dinners for her staff. Yes, it's that good.when you walk in, you'll get a face slap with the aroma of their famous chicken. Numerous locations around Seattle and 18 franchises in Washington. This Kirkland location just opened up this year (2024) , and this visit was not my first taste of what I believe is the best tasting chicken I have ever eaten. Single pieces are available, but the meals are the best value. I like regular but spicy is an option. I love the chicken livers; don't judge me. Staff are always polite and helpful. You can dine in or get it to go. Every Ezell's I have been to is very clean, and the quality is consistently good . Resently Ezell's celibrated 40 years of cooking it's famous chicken ,started by Ezell Stephen and Lewis Rudd in February 3, 1984 in the Central District. The chain is owned now by Faye, Ezell's former wife. 5 stars to Ezell's in Kirkland and welcome to the neighborhood.“

“Brought home Ezell’s dinners for both sons and their families. Ezell’s was a favorite of the boys when they lived in Woodinville. When they left for college the chicken was a go to show up at college with! Potato salad was excellent, mashed potatoes and gravy (reminder of home), and the rolls were soft and fluffy! Chicken a tad dry (I love me white meat). We will definitely be back, although we live in Walla Walla now.“

“Very beautiful and fun experience with a vast selection and large portions.“
