"This place is AMAZING!!! I love the idea of a "build your own salad" bar. The employees were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They even gave us tips for making our salads the best they could be. They use quality fresh ingredients and werent skimping on them. The price seemed on point for the portion sizes.The interior of the restaurant is very casual and clean.Parking was super easy.I wish they would start a franchise. I would eat at a place like this all the time if it was in the city I live in."

"Always great service and consistent food quality. I was a little surprised that their spicy tuna/salmon was actually spicy but that's not a bad thing. It's a nice little place to stop by on Mercer and take it to-go."

"Ditto to all I said before. Adding photos of the now open gorgeous dining room. They also do slices at lunch."

"Wow, such a cute waffle shop! The waffles are soooo delicious. The restaurant is located on the back side of the main road. There is parking out front and along the street. There is seating inside or can take the food to go. You can also grab frozen waffles to eat at home whenever! The kids loved the sweet waffles and yummy toppings. We look forward to going back often. If you are in the area, this is a great place to grab some breakfast on the weekends. :)Plus just around the corner is a picture-perfect view of the mountain. What a great way to top off a tasty breakfast."

"Gotta come back!I'm from LA and don't really buy into the Starbucks hype even in Seattle. That being said I had hotel coffee for 3 days and finally got around to find this place. I needed real coffee and something sweet. The nice barista recommended a latte. Since I couldn't decide I got both a drip coffee and a caramel latte. Bottom line it's was a good call. Drip coffee was smooth and the latte tasted like a coffee drink not just sweet hot milk. I recommend both. The food menu looks good to. Breakfast burritos, sandwiches and pastries at good prices. (Didn't try them though)Almost forgot to mention $7 for 2 drinks is unheard of!"

"Gave this place one more try with a delivery order and was still disappointed. Chips and salsa...the salsa tasted like someone dumped a cup of water in it. So much so, it lacked any flavor. Chicken fajitas...the chicken was dry and charred to the point it was nearly inedible. Also tasted kind of like BBQ sauce which was weird? There wasn't much chicken in the order itself. It was mostly onions and peppers. Pollo a la crema didn't seem to have much crema it was so thick. While I didn't try it, the bf said it was extremely salty. For the price, it's extremely underwhelming."

"Super easy to eat here gf dairy free. Delicious and filling. Husband got wings w blue cheese dressing and the combo pizza. Gf dairy free. I got the garden special regular and a NA beer."

"this place is so adorable and delicious! also pretty big portions. My friend found this amazing spot and we had such a fun time chatting and the carrot cake was the best thing ever. the proportions were massive, idk how to show this but it could definitely feed 3 people comfortably and 4 people normally as a dessert item. price was quite fair. I expected the skimpiness of seattle but deru delivered!! pizza $18 and huge. pasta around same price and hefty amount. $12 for cake slice that was ginormous. lol worth. they were really nice about closing time too, we accidentally stayed a bit over and a lot of folks were still there- we promptly left when we realized but did want to give my apologies and kudos on how they handled it so well and didn't seem to mind. sorry!"

"I'm a huge fan of pastries, and sometimes travel great distance to seek them out. When I read the reviews about this place selling out at 10AM on weekends, I had to check it out. I called around noon on a Friday to make sure there are still pastries left, and was informed by a very nice lady that indeed there are because Friday is their slow day. Here are my favorites: #1 Marionberry tart. I'm not a tart person (don't like baked fruit), which means I don't usually enjoy tarts. The crust of this tart is seriously life-changing, well, at least mood-changing. It's thin, buttery and crunchy. The sugar crystals around the edge adds another layer of texture. I would highly recommend getting at least 1 tart to try!#2 Pumpkin bread pudding - it's huge, as in I shared with another person and had it for 2 days. But I enjoyed every bite. It's custardy from the pumpkin puree, and the walnuts really gave it texture. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed bread pudding this much.#3 Sticky bun - you can't go wrong with sticky bun. The bottom has almost a caramel shell, baked to perfection. My only complain is that it's way too small. I didn't love the lemon brioche nor the peanut butter cookie. With that said, I will definitely come back to try more, probably on another Friday."

"Burgers less than $10 are hard to come by these days except for fast food chains. They do crank out the burgers pretty quickly and the people who work there are super nice. I had the Skagit Burger, $7.99 and was pretty good. Loved the waffle fries too. Better than In And Out, IMO. Given their cult like following, this place probably also has a devoted following. Between Burlington and Bellingham this is the best burger, hands down. Check it out."

"Decades ago, I used to come here more regularly, and it's still the same ol' Zoo. It warms my heart to see a new generation of young people wasting their time together on a Thursday evening."

"Wow. In Oak Harbor. I am still shocked. We sat at the bar and got to converse with the chef. Food was excellent and had great flavor. I tend to avoid high end food because I find it translates into presentation and lacks flavor. Not here! I can't wait to come back!"

"We have driven past this place multiple times over the last month as we explore our new neighborhood, and today we saw a sign that sealed the deal for us. "Brunch."I love brunch. I love breakfast foods, and if a bar sells breakfast I am all in. I don't know what exactly I was expecting, but it wasn't what I walked into, and I loved it. The music, the ambiance, the back bar, everything! There are board games to be played, and it's kid friendly in the main area.The bathroom glows in blacklight!! What!? Awesome.The brunch menu is small, but what is on there is delicious. I got the burrito smothered in country gravy, and my boyfriend got basically the same thing, but no tortilla and tons of taters. Wash that down with a beer or cocktail, or bottomless mimosas and it's a darn fine Sunday morning."

"As a New Yorker, I've struggled with the pizza scene but this place really delivered. Let me start by saying they make a delicious gluten free pie - one that doesn't taste GF if you know what I mean ;) Service was excellent and they brought out all the toppings, i.e., balsamic & chili flakes super quick. It's a casual spot with a nice crowd on a Saturday afternoon. I will definitely be back as I still think about this pie months later"

"Outstanding little brewery!! Came here on a Saturday they had a DJ playing music and they have an outside patio area as well. They didn't have the biggest selection of beers (all local) but the few they did have were phenomenal. The salmon sandwich is perfect as a light lunch or dinner item."

"Takeout dinner for 2.FOOD: 4.5. Generous portions.- Créme Brûlée: 5.0. Creamy interior with very thin hard sugar top, with a strawberry. Shared between the 2 of us.- Crab Cake with lobster sauce: 4.5.- Braised Lamb Shank: 3.5. Very good; came off the bone easily. Sauce very lightly-seasoned. - Caesar salad: 4.5. Lettuce very fresh with excellent sauce. Shared between the 2 of us.SERVICE: 4.0. There was one small issue, which was promptly resolved satisfactorily. Order was ready on time."

"Chomp!!Super cute winerie meet former favorite restaurant place? it's an absolute perfection!! I love how hidden this place is and also not that hidden. They have a wine room, a restaurant, stunning atrium room and an outdoor room surrounded by the barrels. They also have a barrel room of course and you can see it via the restaurant. Beauty all around. You can bottle your own wine, come for a tasting or do a little get together! We came for a tasting and had their very light yet very dry rose. It's from pinot region of Oregon but it is not what you may expect it to taste. They also have cab, white and reisling. Their wine list is pretty big. Their menu has appetizers and warm dishes like bone marrow, smoke cod and handcut fries and so on. Perfect to accompany any wine of your choosing. The staff is quite friendly here too. One can come in and just melt all the troubles away with a glass or three :) They also bottles for restaurants! You can get your own lable and so on. Friendly people, beautiful space and good wine? Sign me up! I'll be throwing a few parties here soon!"

"Came here with some co workers on a Friday evening. Drinks were priced fairly and the food was great. I ordered the chicken tenders/fries and it was pretty good. They have fun games like a few pool tables and TVS. I appreciate that you can bring your dog in here and hangout with them. Parking wasn't too terrible to find around 5:50 PM ish. The bartender was super nice and helpful when I couldn't get the Juke box working."

"Flavor goodPrices decentPortion goodI just wish they had more ingredients - they must be popular because all of the stuff we wanted to order was "already out of it." ."

"Serious Pie is seriously delicious! I met up with a group of friends for dinner and we ordered a bunch of pizzas and salad to share. We ordered at the counter and utilized their large outdoor picnic tables to eat at. During a Seattle summer, the weather was perfect! Everything we ordered was extremely delicious! I really liked the mixed green salad and the variety of pizza topping combinations."

"Marlai has the best Thai food in Seattle! My favorite dish of theirs has always been their Kiew Wan Gai-Green Curry, which comes with chicken, mushrooms, eggplant, and basil. I usually get it with 4 to 5 stars spicyness depending on my mood. It is such a refreshing yet filling dish at the same time! We also shared a Fisherman's salad to compliment our curry. The flavors of the salad (clams, shrimp, squid and mussels on top of greens) and the green curry were absolutely delightful. We have eaten here regularly for several years though, and honestly there is no such thing as a wrong food combination. Their flavors all compliment one another so well. Whether you are dining in their location, or ordering to go, their flavors are guranteed to satisfy."

"This is a carniceria review. I didn't hit up the market and I didn't get tacos...but, based on the butchery I'll be back very soon for tacos and probably more. You know how you drive by some places dozens of times and never follow up on your good intentions to check them out when you get a chance? I'm about 3 years overdue to get in here, and I finally did it. Saturday we needed some chorizo for a seafood paella we were making for a dinner party (happy birthday to my buddy Andy). Earlier in the day I was actually much closer to a Mexican butcher I've already visited and love, but I knew I'd be coming through south Everett as the day went on, and it's corny how late I am trying this place.It's a little strip mall on the corner of two very busy 5-lane roads. The building's a bit timeworn at this point but it's clean and safe. You walk in and they have merchandised every square inch of the place, if not every cubic inch. There are fresh cactus paddles stacked up on one side of the door, and a cooler full of tamales on the other side. Tons of produce and specialty items you can't get at a lot of supermarkets.Farther back you get tons of packaged stuff, and coolers full of Mexican beer. Then against the two back walls, once you zigzag through all the narrow aisles, you find the long L-shaped butcher case. All kinds of skirt steak, flank steak, cut steaks, and pre-seasoned meats. Different kinds of chorizo. Basically if you want to make many different Mexican dishes and you need the meat ready to go before you start, they can probably help you.I was a low-maintenance shopper Saturday: 2 pounds of fresh cased chorizo was enough for me. I was out the door $10 later. The meat was so good we served some of it on its own as an appetizer before the paella was even ready. On my way out of the shop, I could smell taco meat cooking somewhere, and immediately wished I could stay for a plate. I will be back here often."

"If you're looking for a place that offers a nice view, huge portions of food and is by the beach area, Bay Breeze is a solid stop.Came here with a big group and overall, had a nice dining experience here. Things to note: - View: If you want a nice view of the sea, do recommend putting in a reservation and requesting this in advance. Totally worth the extra effort. - Service: Friendly staff! Our server definitely did a great job with accommodating my group as we had a couple of small kids. - Cocktails: Wowzer, these drinks pack a nice kick. Definitely recommend ordering one of the many yummy drinks on the menu. Well crafted and worth the taste.- Food: Overall, generous portion for the dishes and quality was excellent. The menu is quite extensive ranging from typical seafood to some Asian fusion style ones. So definitely take a look at all of the options. For me, had the pleasure to try: - Calamari: Sauce had a nice spicy kick to it surprisingly... pretty good overall - Sriracha Shrimp: Not too spicy but I love the broth! Very hearty and dipping the crispy calamari with this was a pretty good combo- Surf & Turf Salad: This thing was huge!!!! Loaded with super fresh veggies, juicy steak and plump shrimp, I was stuffed by the time I finished this dish. Definitely a shareable dish for those who aren't as hungry. Plus, the sesame sauce = sooo good. - Price: Very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you order."

"The coolest thing since a bag of chips. Healthy, gluten free, dairy free and red meat free menu. The coolest since I tend to avoid dairy, red meat and gluten. Menu is simple as they gave freshly prepared items. You can choose their land box, vegan box, bloom box, sea box or built your own. I built my own: Grilled chicken, curried cauliflower, bloom grain, Japanese sweet potatoes and apple salad! With peppers! Japanese sweet potatoes are amazing as well as the apple salad. Curried cauliflower too. Chicken was a little dry but good. It was a delicious box! They have so many options. If I still live closer ( used to live 2 blocks from here), this will definitely be my daily meal."

"Stopped here for a quick bite. Just one customer waiting food, but nobody at the counter. A few mins later a gentleman showed up from kitchen and took the order. He said the wait time is 15 mins after I placed my order. Looks like he was preparing the food food as well. Kind of a one man show! Hardly 3-4 tables, ambience is quite casual. Around 15 mins later my food was ready. It was warm and well packed. Ordered chicken shawarma sandwich. But the outcome was very disappointing. Hardly authentic. No flavor at all. Tahini sauce was added to the order, but didn't add much flavor to it. To be honest very disappointed. $11 for a such a sandwich. And the wait time! Not really worth it!"

"Beautiful not-too-big event space with fantastic service. I would love to hold an event here some day."

"As someone who lives in SLU, I was extremely excited to see a new Indian restaurant open, especially one open on the weekends! I went in a Saturday afternoon around 630. The place is not big, with some counter space and 4 tables, and all were full, which bodes well for food taste. There were also two families in line before me checking out the menu and waiting for the cashier to come out who was also delivering food. I put in my order for samosas and papri chaat, my favorite street food. I got my food pretty quickly (to go). The food was great! Samosas had a good amount of salt and flavor. The chaat was very crunchy, and a great mix of the typical flavors I'd like to see in chaat. I will definitely be back to try both their Indian food and some of their street food!"

"In short:You've had hand pies several times from other culinary traditions; think of these as being similar to empanadas, just known by another name.In long:I've had these samsas a few times now, because they used to cater lunch at the office at my old work. They've been consistently delicious for 5 years. They're a little smaller than your hand, and stuffed with maybe an inch of filling. 2 of them will fill up quite a few people. The truck itself is hard to miss. It's a Sprinter van, and the longest one I've seen. Big signage on the sides. They posted up Friday in a neighborhood near me. I ended up getting dinner for everybody, so I got to try most of the menu, at least in bites here and there.We got the beef, cheesy beef, chicken, squash, and spinach samsas. The squash ones seemed almost dessert-y, because baked squash is not far off baked pumpkin, which the typical American (like me) thinks of as dessert pie in the autumn. The others were all unmistakably savory entrée pies. The great thing about these is how light, flaky, and un-greasy the dough is on every one. The fillings are fantastic, too, but they've absolutely nailed the dough. Each one was about $6, and they do offer sides, though I just loaded up on samsas and off I went. I hope to see this truck more often for sure."

"Whatever I said in my previous Mexican restaurant posts --you can disregard. THIS is the number one best Mexican food in Seattle! Located off the eight bus next to grocery outlet bargain market on Martin Luther King Blvd. this truck is churning out some of the most authentic Mexican cuisine! All of it is homemade, and they even have options like Lengua y Tripe! I've had their torta y Chile relleno and I'm even more impressed by their burrito i got yesterday! (For only $1 more I got it "wet" style!!!)They are not open Sundays, so try to catch them during the week. They have a little area for seating, I didn't get on camera ,that is shaded. Portion? Satisfying.Prices? Adorable! (but even if they were higher priced--it would be worth it!!! )Such a hidden gem! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did !"

"I've walked by Yomie's several times before, and each time, I was curious on what the rice yogurt drink entailed. The combination sounded interesting, and I was down to try it out.I ordered the Yomie's Purple Rice Yogurt drink, which was around $7. The drink size was quite small for the price, which I was sad about. The drink itself was pretty good! I didn't know what I was expecting, but it tasted exactly like what the name says - yogurt and rice. The rice was chewy and reminded me of a sweet sticky rice dessert."

"I came here after being super exhausted and honestly just in a bad mood. The girl working (didn't catch her name) was the sweetest person ever! I told her thank you like 3 times but here's another huge thank you! The matcha was amazing and really made my day!"

"Being one of the only 24 options on the Eastside, I can always count on this Jack in the Box. They have a incredibly hard working staff, friendly at all hours of the day and night, and I have never gotten an incorrect order from this location. They do very often have a very long drive thru line, at most I have waited near 15 minutes from start to finish. You can also opt to go inside the location to order which can be a bit quicker. Consistent, friendly, and the food has always been fresh to order (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself for stale fries next time!)"
