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“

“Bombay Express in the University District is a fantastic spot for amazing, affordable Indian food. The flavors are authentic, portions are generous, and it’s open late, perfect for satisfying those late-night cravings without spending much.“

“Yeobo was a great spot to chill with a cocktail on a Friday evening. The space is large, with plenty of seating and couches for groups. Vibes were relaxed and while I didn't adore my negroni, the menu had other options I'd try next time.“

“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“

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

“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“

“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.“

“The cheese sandwich was so gooey and tasty!“

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

“We came here on my husband’s birthday for a late lunch but didn’t realize this location closed at 2:30 (and reopens later). Even though we came in at 2:20, the staff were very kind and still seated us despite closing so soon. Food came out quickly and it was delicious. Thankful to the staff for the delicious meal and hospitality 🥹“

“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.“
