Elliott Bay Brewing - Burien

Ours was a tremendously mediocre dining experience. My wife ordered a pulled pork sandwich (photo). I ordered a hamburger. My wife asked about the bun--what kind of bread was it? The server frowned. "I dunno," she said. "I'll go check." Ten minutes later, she was back, still frowning. "The chef didn't understand your question. He said it's just bread."It was just bread. And, as you can see, the sandwich is at least 60% bread. Mine was the same. These weren't gourmet buns. No--they were the kind you get at the bargain grocery store across the street. Remember Wonder Bread? Go to Elliot Bay Brewhouse if you want a Wonder Bread refresher. Also, the pulled pork contained no detectable flavor. Instead, the server dumped a thimble of mud-colored, generic BBQ sauce on the table and left. My flavorless, undercooked burger came with it, too. It was like eating a mixture of mud, sand, and onions.

Salmon w/avocado sandwich and side salad. So good. They used a bun this time. Usually comes on some type of bread. I prefer the bread, but it was still good. Salmon was cooked perfectly medium. Love Love.

Food & drinks are grade A In a cute little town.. customer service is solid. Would definitely come back & recommend to any visitors

Not sure if the ownership changed or what, but this place has really declined overall. Shared the spicy chicken sandwich: a thick bun, and inch of fried batter, and maybe quarter inch of chicken. Absolutely awful. Fries were like cardboard. Food has really taken a nose dive here. Server (at the bar) was standoffish and seemed to gravitate more toward the regulars(?). Beer is decent, that's about it. Used to come here regularly. Probably won't again.

Came here for a quick beer left here pleasantly surprised! Im not a big beer drinker but I could not stop verbally expressing how good this coffee stout is. Fries were very good. And my boyfriend loved his house IPA. Emmy (the server) deserves a separate vote of 5 stars. If you see her, tip her.

We had a big party, the servers were nice to accommodate our big party. I ordered my usual plain Jane, with tater toes. Beefy patty was too cook and dry. My friend like her cheese steak and her dessert.

We stopped in for a late lunch on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We both had cheeseburgers and they were fantastic! My husband said it's earned a spot in his top ten burger list (not a real thing). The onion rings were ok, the fries were better.

I haven't been to Elliot Bay (in Burien) in years, but it's still really good. EBB - Burien is a place I frequented a lot when it first opened. The menu has went through a few minor changes, but it's largely the same - and still really good. I ordered the California Ave w/o Cheese, with a side of Sweet Potato fries. I also tried the Reuben. The burger is good. If you like burgers, especially with avocado, then I don't think you'll be disappointed. It was cooked to medium rare, upon request and was exactly what I expected. The Reuben was extremely good. It's been a long time since I've tried a Reuben, and this was a pleasant surprise. It had a great balance of flavors between the meat, kraut, and 1,000 island. Really good burger. Aside from that, there are a great selection of in-house drinks. Staff is always friendly. One of my favorite, consistent good, spots in Burien.

Stopped in while traveling through Seattle and was grateful for a cool, low key spot with good beers and great food. Loved the fish tacos and would absolutely go back.

The vegetarian options are unfortunately hit or miss here. My tofu sandwich really felt like two large slabs of uncooked, wet tofu on bread (maybe it was microwaved slightly?). The french fries are my favorite though and meat-eaters are happy with the options.On our most recent visit, when we were signing the check and I asked for a small glass of water for my child, the waitress seemed irritated and told us she had other tables to get to. I understand that, truly. We waited a while but she never brought us water and the restaurant was not slammed. Yes, ideally I would have asked for the water during the meal, but with small kids, can you make an exception? They also don't provide waters to you by default, which you definitely need since the food is salty. It felt like, that since we had already paid and given her a tip, she did not need to be a decent human anymore and give something as simple as water to a kid. Can you please provide waters by default? It's hard to justify this type of experience in this economy...
