Comfort Food Restaurants near Bothell, WA

“(KENT, WASHINGTON!) I say this, with some sadness in my heart, but I feel compelled to make the following proclamation. EZELL'S has the best peach cobbler I've ever tasted in my life! It is better than my GRANDMOTHER'S! (And most DEFINITELY better than mine!) Every soul food restaurant has peach cobbler. I never have had peach cobbler out. It never looks right to me. It never looks like my grandma's. Maybe I've been missing out on a lifetime's worth of cobbler! ********* They're telling me to that if you need desserts for Christmas but you don't wanna bake desserts for Christmas, ORDER THEIR'S FOR PICK-UP. Based on this cobbler, I'm making the recommendation that you do. My grandmother served peach cobbler every year for Christmas. We had southern Christmas and I had no idea that Pumpkin and sweet potato pies were considered Christmas pies until I was an adult. EZELL'S sells full and partial: cobblers and sweet potato pies.“

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

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“This place was so cute, coffee was amazing, and service was even better. I didn’t have the best customer service experience during my time in Seattle. However, Mikayla was the ray of sunshine I needed on that rainy day! 10/10 recommend for brunch and catching up with friends.“

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

“Chicken is awesome and fast service“

“the Woodinville location pick up only took about 2 minutes, the chicken strips were actually not the best I've had at ezells over the past 15 years but it was still great. At least we know that the chicken is freshly made and not frozen! my daughter says it has a gourmet taste which is a win“

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

“Best fried chicken. gizzards and okra on the westcoast.“

“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.“

“I made it home to Tulsa, Oklahoma just to tell my friends and family about my experience. The food in general was amazing seasoned and cooked well. Spicy okra, and Cole slaw was tasty they even offer $1 sweet potato pie . I can not wait to come back and visit see you summer of 2026“

“First time visiting, yeah the music is a little loud but it’s a bar what do you expect. I’m a sweet drink kinda girl and loved the captains tea! Didn’t get any food so can’t review that but the cook was really nice and the food I saw coming out looked yummy so I look forward to trying it when I go again! Great views can’t ask for much more.“

“This is a great restaurant, the people and the food are great for the most part. A lot of people have an issue with the weird times this place is open and with the price of the food. I understand that the pandemic hit hard, and it's hard to run a restaurant. However, there are definitely things to critique. The food is good, but expensive for small portions. They are also having a menu change at the end of August (that's what I was told last time I came here). They changed the vegan lumpia to only have vegetables in it (tasted like a spring roll), and are getting rid of the adobo burger (no longer on menu) :(. The current menu does not have any lumpia besides the new vegetable one, no dessert, and no potatoes. I thought the lumpia was a favorite? I used to visit every now and then because we love the lumpia, but I don't know how often I'll visit after the change. Maybe it will be good though, I can update later. This place was great, sad to see a decline because of the pandemic or other issues :( If you have the money, it's a good place to support!“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

“Love this place. Good Japanese curry and quick service.“

“Yummy food and great price!! Great for cold Seattle days ~~“

“I’ve been to Boiling Point several times and it’s been consistently good. Each person gets an individual hot pot, which feels cleaner and more hygienic. The ingredients are fresh, and there’s a wide variety of soup bases to choose from.

I usually go for the Beef or House Special combo—the House Special is noticeably spicier and great if you like heat. During lunch hours, they sometimes include complimentary iced green tea or black tea, which is a nice bonus.

Overall, a solid choice for individual hot pot with reliable quality.“

“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!“

“01/16/2026 - Updating the review to 4 stars since wada wasn’t freshly made. It seemed like a frozen or stale one heated up. The ragi dosa was good.

The most authentic South Indian tiffin I've had in the US! The sambar is exceptional—simply to die for.

The vada dipped in sambar, with a side of chutney, was the perfect start to our meal. The onion rava dosa was smaller than usual, but both the dosa and the masala uttapam were crispy and packed with flavor. Although the filter coffee wasn't the best, it was strong and paired well with our meal.

Service was fast; we arrived at 11:45 am on a Sunday and only waited 5 minutes. Those who came after us had to wait for about 20-30 minutes. I would definitely return to try more items.“
