9 Best Southern Restaurants near Bothell

“(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.“

“Perfection. This place is exactly what we want in a restaurant. Amazing food. Warm service. Unique experience. Family run.
The smoked chicken was superb, the gochujang pork was even better. Every side was full of flavor. And the family running the place radiated kindness. We will be back again and again. Thank you!“

“We visited Pho Time for the first time after a doctor's visit nearby, and it was a wonderful find. The restaurant is spotless, and the service was incredibly kind. My daughter, who was feeling under the weather, loved the Pho and finally got her appetite back. This will be our new go-to spot!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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“
