9 Best American Restaurants in Bellevue

“Our first dinner in Seattle was at Joey Bellevue, and it was outstanding. We started with the mini French dips, which came with a port red wine au jus reduction easily among the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I had the steak and ravioli blanco, paired with their signature crispy mashed potatoes. The steak was tender and flavorful, the ravioli was rich and buttery, the shrimp was perfectly fresh, and the crispy mashed potatoes were truly memorable. Our server, Lanesha, went above and beyond to make the night special. She surprised us with a crème brûlée cheesecake with strawberries as a welcome-to-vacation treat, such a thoughtful touch! The food, service, and atmosphere all combined to create a wonderful first-night-in-Seattle experience. Highly recommend Joey Bellevue for both locals and visitors.“

“Me and my family visited here after Snowflake Lane last night on Christmas Eve and they were able to accommodate 8 of us. The ambiance was pleasant, the drinks were amazing, and the food was excellent! My husband and I are vegan and they had several choices. I would highly recommend it here. A little pricey but worth it!“

“My boys invited me to this place for a first time and was fabulous. Good food, portions, price, customer service, and location. Good birthday celebration.“

“Everything about the meal was fantastic! The drinks, the food, the dessert! All amazing! We will be back!“

“Unique pour your own. Relax atmosphere.“

“Justin and his staff always make the members feel welcomed like family as you hear them greeting most of the restaurant by name and often knowledge of their preferred drink order. Love that they have changing weekly specials to keep it interesting and lovely seasonal dishes. My favorite burger on the Eastside is here and is a perfect pub juicy burger. This cozy meeting place is one of the reasons so many generations return to living in this neighborhood.“

“The waitress was extremely nice but she had her hands full trying to serve everyone and make that long walk to the kitchen every time. The drinks were nice. The Long Island was my favorite.

The TVs are perfect for watching a sporting event. The bar stools are quite comfortable.

I ordered the seared halibut and it came with black carrots. I was miserable eating this. It was tougher than expected and not well seasoned. Next time I will order the fish and chips.“

“I walked in here in September 1982 thinking my shattered life of 15 years was over. Hazel who ran the cafe, a gruff but loving lady made me sit down and have a sandwich and milk. For the next 5 years they raised me, an irritating punk, showing love and understanding beyond measure, mentoring me in the life of recovery and spritual principles of AA until my fledgling wings let me fly on my own to other places of recovery and respite from the storms of life. It's barely changed, has great coffee now and much more food! A meeting is available nearly every hour in such variety and different people your sure to find your place in what will always be my true home! God bless you and thank you Hilltop, with all my heart ♥“

“This is the third time I have eaten at Cascades and it was absolutely delicious. I ate the rib eye steak while my wife had the steak frites. My son's had the chicken strips and the club sandwich and everyone absolutely loved their food. It was a highlight of our vacation and Muhammad our server was by far the kindest and most friendly customer service we had our entire trip.“
