Comfort Food Restaurants near Tukwila, WA

“Very good food , hoping that the waiting time at dinner is less because when we try to eat last night the waiting time is 2hrs ,so we left and come back next day at after lunch like 1pm and the waiting is better and took us less than 30mins.“

“THIS WAS PERFECT! I surprised my car loving boyfriend with this date and he LOVED IT! We got brunch and they sat us right next to the window which felt so special since i had reserved ahead of time. Then we got to do the tour right after and got to see all the ins and outs of the shop AND take pictures for the mems. 100/10 highly recommend“

“Their smoked salmon Mac and cheese as well as their grilled cheese sandwiches are life changing! Reasonably fast service and just a cool place to visit and learn a little bit about how it’s all made. This place is on the top of our list when we return to Seattle.“

“Terry‘s kitchen is a fabulous experience and great vibe. Everyone should try it . The owner Terry is amazing and so personable, the staff I can’t say enough about. Food is over the top just fantastic. Drinks are good too and the place itself so clean and wonderful . If I lived closer, I would probably be there all the time!“

Dietary restrictions: Very friendly for dairy allergen. Only avoided the banana naan.

Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed the food and family friendly“

“Great little dive bar with pinball that lasts forever and lots of vegetation options. No table service but the people working counter service make up for it.

Vegetarian options: Vegan burger, vegan hot dogs, vegan chicken sandwich. Dirty pub food but it hits right. 10/10“

“What a fun place with the camping motif and friendly staff too. While we liked the food, we found a number of things fried and we try to steer clear of fried. In fairness, we did not try an entree, but apps and they were all good, especially the cauliflower, but the fried aspect would point us to the entrees next time. I“

The folks working here are super friendly too! Thanks for all the wonderful lunches.

Also looking forward to S sized sweater if those ever come in stock.

“Small mom and pop restaurant with wonderful, homestyle Chinese food. The first thing you’ll notice when you step inside is that there are a lot of regulars here. It’s a wonderful and chill community spot, plus they have karaoke every Thursday night.

I recommend these dishes:
* Clay pot rice - usually a 20 min wait but so worth it
* Chicken and gravy - crispy and delicious
* Hong Kong milk tea
* Money’s chili crisp - you can also request it on the side with your meal or you can buy a jar! My favorite locally made chili crisp.“

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

“I asked if I'd ordered sauce because I thought I might have forgotten. As I was checking the bag the server replied that whatever I ordered was there. Well, it was there and like I said, I wasn't sure that I included it in my order. Her response might have been defensive though there was no need to be. My other encounters have been with friendly genial staff. She just needs a little customer service training.“

“I recently visited Ezell’s Famous Chicken and tried their spicy tenders (one pound), along with coleslaw and French fries. The tenders were perfectly seasoned, delivering a nice kick without overpowering the natural juiciness of the chicken. The crispy coating stayed crunchy even with the spice, which I appreciated, and each bite was packed with flavor. The coleslaw was fresh and creamy, adding a refreshing contrast to the spicy tenders, and the French fries were hot and crispy—a classic side done right. The service was friendly and efficient, and I barely had to wait before my food was ready. Ezell’s delivers on taste, quality, and speed, making it a fantastic spot for a satisfying meal!“

“Beautiful space, decor is intentional. Staff are lovely, provided great recommendations and attentive.

We had oysters and the carbonara was smokey and delicious; cocktails are on point and hit the spot. Dogs are allowed on the patio so I can't wait to go back!

Also support a women owned business who ensure staff are paid a living wage, shall we?“

“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!“

“Today I was blown away by this location’s customer service. I went in for a drumstick, it was going to be a 20minute wait because of the rush. My baby was nearing nap time, so I understood and said nevermind. My parents made an order and we waited for about 5 minutes. When we got in the car, we checked the order and found that he added a drumstick for me. As a tired mom with a fussy toddler, this gesture brought me to tears. Thank you Ezell’s for always going above and beyond! And of course it was delicious too!!“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Ezell's chicken strips are my absolute favorite. Been here countless times. Staff is always cool. The strips take longer to cook than I prefer, but they are worth the wait. Their fried chicken is great too. I just prefer the regular strips. I could eat them every day. All the food is very good though. The fries and/or fried okra are my favorite sides. Just some good food!“

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

“Great food and customer service“

“Ezell's Famous Fried Chicken remain the one, the go to in either times of triumph or trouble, the one to try and beat but not likely to ever happen. In short and sum, the best fried chicken definitively in the PNW - The Pacific Northwest, as well as very arguably Ezell's Famous Chicken may be best of the best across the whole USA Nation. Even at those levels, Ezell's is always in contention in consistent high quality food provided with great service.“

“Fried Chicken Royalty

Ezell’s is nothing short of legendary. From the first crispy bite to the last morsel of tender, juicy meat, this is fried chicken done to absolute perfection. The seasoning is spot-on—savory, flavorful, and impossible to forget.

I’ve tried a lot of fried chicken in my day, but Ezell’s consistently stands tall. Their sides are just as impressive—the mashed potatoes are creamy, the rolls are warm and soft, and the mac & cheese? A hug in a bowl. Service is always friendly and fast, and you can tell the team takes real pride in what they’re serving.

Whether you’re grabbing takeout or settling in for a soul-satisfying meal, Ezell’s delivers comfort food that’s worthy of the hype. Seattle is lucky to have them!

🍗🔥🙌“

“Love the food but y’all forgot my rolls in my Door Dash order 😭“
