Soul Food Restaurants near Bellevue, WA

“I had the BamBam Smashburger and hush puppies and was very satisfied with my meal. My son enjoyed his macaroni also. I plan on coming back and visit from Yakima soon again.“

“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!“

“the fried pork chops are amazing!“

“The catfish, fried pork chops, greens, Mac and cheese, and the sauce for the catfish were terrific! 10/10 recommend. I didn’t like the cabbage, sweet potatoes, red beans and rice since it wasn’t seasoned to MY LIKING. Oh, and the staff had anamzing customer service.“

“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.“

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Food was great! Service just as good. We got most of the sides and they were yummy, best greens we have ever had!“

“Yum! I picked up a rib plate with mac and cheese and beans and rice on the side. Generous portions of everything and very, very tasty. Will definitely be back to check out the rest of the menu! They have different specials throughout the week.“

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.“

“Great atmosphere with urban setting“

“TOP SECRET SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM: You would never know that this little deli/convenience store tucked away in the Central District sells delicious soft serve ice cream in the summertime. These are your standard, no-fuss soft serve, and I love them. Creamy and light texture, not overly sweet, and no hefty outrageous prices. I think they cost $4/cone. The size in the photo is a small which is plenty big enough for me.

I'm a bit of a soft serve junkie, and some of the places I've been to recently include Indigo Cow, The Pastry Project, MOTO Pizza, and Temple Pastries' new ice cream and sandwich shop (that opened on July 5, 2024) and had some of their strawberry sumac vegan soft serve. Out of all of them, I think King's Deli has the best b/c it's simple and unfussy. And the price can't be beat. The atmosphere is nothing special but that's OK by me.

One caveat, be sure to call them before you go just to make sure the soft serve machine is ON. Sometimes when I've stopped by they haven't turned the machine on yet, and I have to come back though in the summertime, it's usually on all the time.

It's a hot tip secret and I aim to change that ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids (& adults!) love soft serve ice cream!“

“Tried this food truck on a whim and didn’t go in with any expectations, now it is going to be one of my go trucks. The best sandwich and beignets that I have ever had! Incredible flavor and I need the recipe for their house made mayo, 10/10 would recommend!“

“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.“
