Greenlake Bar & Grill

Came here after a group activity for some food and drinks. Popular looking spot right in the middle of Greenlake area we were seated inside for our party of 5 quickly as it was nice out all the outdoor seats were taken, so take note if you wish to enjoy that.I got a couple orders of Spicy habanero mac balls. 'Panko crusted' habanero cheese, jalapeño with sweet chili sauce for dipping. off the bat the consistency between the two plate was off, one had more sauce than the other, but I didn't want to raise that big of an issue with it. The mac balls themselves were ok. Slight kick with 5 "balls" per order running about $13-14. The sauce is the same as you get at and on any pub Thai chili wings order.The highlight was absolutely the milkshake. I got the Boston Creme shake, and man. It lived up to its reputation as they have on the menu that they have the best milkshakes. It was SOOO chocolatey, but not too chocolatey. If you're feeling a milkshake while here, I recommend.Not a bad spot come with a group, as it there is a fairly varied menu.

We happened upon this place just passing by while walking to our car after walking around the lake. We sat outside with my dog. 89 lbs but well behaved and quiet. The service was accommodating of him. They were a little slow to come around to take our order, probably understaffed, but then the food came quickly. It was so good! They were nicely plated and delicious. We had the Beet salad and Burrata. If they are any indication of the rest of the menu, we plan to come back and try something else, or just have the same yummy items. Thanks to the kitchen for the creativity and effort.

It's dog friendly!!! I got the breakfast and it was good. Nothing noteworthy but well executed. They have a "biggie deal" on the breakfast items on weekends which makes the food "less inflated". Service was a little chaotic.

I've always been intrigued by Greenlake Grill's outdoor sign advertising the "World's Best Milkshakes". When a friend suggested an evening venture for milkshakes, I was ecstatic! We each ordered a milkshake, Reese's peanut butter cup and Oreo, respectively. Our first impression started off strong with a generous heaping of homemade whipped cream. The peanut butter cup was extra peanut buttery and rich, definitely the stand-out of the two. The Oreo was also delicious, though not quite as thick as the Reese's, it didn't stand out as much. For less than $10 apiece and a very large milkshake, we were quite pleased! I even got to bring home my leftover milkshake and drink it for dessert the next evening. Service was prompt, and the restaurant was pretty empty as it was Tuesday evening near closing.

If you see a line forming at Wooden City and are considering walking across the street to Greenlake Bar & Grill, don't do it. Stay in line - you'll be glad you did.I live in the neighborhood and have made this mistake several times, hence this overdue review. Unfortunately, every time I visit this restaurant the service is a 0/10 and the food is 5.5/10. It's average (not great, but not bad) but you'll be waiting around for 10+ minutes just to be greeted. By the time your order is taken and your food arrives, you'll have lost track of time for a meal that was more or less forgettable. (Pro tip: don't sit at the bar...the service seems to be worse in that area.)

Been coming here now about a few timesa month ! That Meatloaf is incredible super friendly staff a fan !!

Great flavors and close proximity to the park. Between myself and the part of 5 with me I got to try several things. First the happy hour chicken sandwich. Very flavorful, but also different from the regular menu chicken sandwich. Absent the bacon and other garnishments, it was still very tasty. Second, I had a bite of the happy hour cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was delicious. My favorite thing to snack on was the humus with the perfect pita bread on the side. I highly recommend the blood orange margarita. I believe it's low ABV and really good.

We really like them. This is very straight forward American style food close to green lake. It is a nice location and a nice space, when we were there the patio doors were open which made the whole place feel open and breezy. Service was prompt and attentive. They have a great milkshake menu, and our 6 year old loved it. We'll be back. Reliable kid friendly option.

Food was good. Seasoned well, but I don't want to pay $15 for lettuce wraps when the chef just puts stems of cilantro. At least take the leaves off and add, I don't want to spend my time taking the stems off to eat. They also needed more cucumber and daikon(literally one piece of each on each wrap). I asked for extra chili oil, server never brought it out. She seemed nice but not very attentive and just sub par. Also, why are the trash cans right under the paper towels, so when I pull my hand hits the trash. Also the other bathroom had no paper towels and was very dirty, hence the stars I put up. Could be better, just not worth $80 for an app, entree and two cocktails.

I'm a bit surprised at the number of positive reviews, to be honest. I hope and willing to believe I keep catching this place at a bad time, because I really want this place to be good. I find GBG to be vastly overpriced, their 20 dollar hamburgers remind me preshaped puck like frozen burger patties you can get at the grocery store. The last few times I've been there it's not been busy, takes forever to anything, water. menus, you name it. And watched my food sit under the warming lamp for longer than ever should happen, especially at this price point. The place is nice and could be a lot better, wait staff is nice but either really new or overwhelmed as it's hard to get service even when it's light attendance. Food is barely "cooked" and more like warmed and assembled.
