I was just here on 3/10/2024 at 10am and ordered a build your own omelette and my friend ordered a hangover burger. The server was ignoring me the whole time, took away my menu as I was ordering off it, and did not bring me the correct menu item. She even walked away as I was ordering as if she didn't care what I wanted. When we got our food, she only asked my friend if the food was good, and I didn't get the chance to tell her that my order was incorrect. I felt ignored and lost my appetite. It made me really sad, since I came to breakfast to relax and get the service and hospitality I know I can count on at Sharis, but the server made me feel more stressed out. When we were still eating the server asked my friend if we were paying on one ticket or two, and I responded one, but she ignored me and waited for my friend to confirm my answer. I was actually the one who ended up paying, and I could tell it took her by surprise. We weren't done eating by the time she had closed our tab and had me pay for the $40 order. I don't usually claim any sort of discrimination since I know working service jobs can leave you feeling really crunched for time, it's really stressful being a server! But our server Debbie just made me (and not my friend) feel unwelcome and like my business was not appreciated. I wish I could've said something about my order being wrong or asked to be moved to another section but our server wouldn't even look me in the eye even though I was paying. I grew up going to Sharis and am a lifelong Washingtonian but this experience will make me think twice before recommending this location to folks visiting and I am doubtful I will be able to go back without feeling unwelcome.

Year ago-Pretty decent burger.1/27/24 approx 7pm, not busy- Table was sticky. Floors were sticky. Lamp shade had this nasty stain on it. These observations are pretty consistent over the past 4 visits. Unfortunately, the restaurant has smelt pretty bad over the past few visits also. Not sure what is going on. Used to love coming here, was hoping things would improve but they haven't. Waited over an hour for our food. However quality of food was excellent .

I came to this Shari's at 10:26pm and the doors were locked already and once someone seen me at the door they came out and said they don't serve anyone within 30 minutes of closing (they close at 11pm) all I wanted was a milkshake to go. Very disappointed in the service and attitude of the

It's hard to drive past a Sheri's without stopping in for a piece of pie. Our waitress was Diane and she is a true warrior! Highly recommend!

We went there on Christmas day. There was a small wait, but we were seated quickly. The food was served hot. The waitress was pretty busy, but she was on too of us. The food was delicious and hot.

Service was friendly, but slow. The serving size of fries with a sandwich was extremely small. I would have thought it was for a small child. The appetizer combo for the price was very skimpy too. The food was okay, but nothing I would return for.

We went there X'mas evening. Food was nothing remarkable, good.But the service was amazing! They were very busy but our server was nice, attentive, never seemed stressed or put out. And he let us talk until closing without making us feel we needed to leave. We needed to have a deep and important talk and rhe space, physically and emotionally, was perfect for it.

Thoroughly disappointed. I ordered through DoorDash tonight and recieved my order cold as well as missing key items and condiments. DoorDash was no help and trying to call the restaurant is not working as well. Won’t ever order from here again.
Review for Shari's cafe. I will never go there again. This isn't my first bad experience there. The one previous was on my birthday many years ago and I ordered an expensive steak dinner and my son's kids menu choice had more food then my dish did. I was dumbfounded. Today we waited an hour or longer for our food. I wasn't informed it would be that long although I heard them tell others that walked in it was a long wait. We got to the table and the silverware was dirty. The tables were so gross. I'm a mom so I wipe the table down especially where my three year old is sitting because there's no stopping him from eating food he dropped on the table. The wipe I used was just black. I kept using more and more wipes, it did get better over time but absolutely disgusting. Apparently they never do a deep clean of the tables. It was sticky like if your table was around your stove when cooking. Not sure how to explain it. Sticky as if you blew lots of marijuana smoke at it and it resonated on the table. The ledge of the booths were the same way. The lamp above had a huge white circle shade and it had brown stains all in it, like coffee got spilled up there or maybe a water leak. We did get a free piece of pie for my son's birthday to bring home that was nice. Although I'll never eat there again. It's pretty expensive for the amount of food you get as well. Ohh ya the hash browns got brought out on separate plates last because they were not done yet which is understandable it must be hard to cook all those orders but my son would take a bite and I saw the grease dripping off them. I really think we should have been comped in some way just for having to wait over an hour for our food but wasn't trying to be that person especially on son's birthday. We made the best of it. I really think they should focus a lot more on deep cleaning everything because if they really sat down and checked things out they would be disgusted as well. Take a Clorox it just a baby wipe and wipe both tables. Maybe they should just update their restaurant it would minimize a lot of these issues. Those types of tables don't look dirty but really are.

I went to Shari's pies in Renton in 2018 during my visit to Washington at the time and when I moved here it was the first food place I went to. The pies are insanely good and honestly I've never had a bad experience with staff at any location. I go for the coffee and the pies because I am secretly 108 years old, but the food is also delicious. I really didn't expect for their Mac and cheese to be that good and it was delicious.

The food here is very good. But service is usually losy. Even when they are not busy, you have to wait a long time to get your food. They are offering a free breakfast for Veterans this year, BUT it is very limited, no options, no substitutions, the cheapest breakfast on the menu. A VERY POOR way to thank and honor Veterans and active military for their service and sacrifice. My wife and I were waiting almost 2 hours in all this morning and still had not received our food. So we got up to leave, offered to pay for our coffee and juice and our waitress walked away without even an apologie.

First off, the teal sweater, captain spalding eyebrow looking broad who was our waiter was extremely rude, never really checked up on us throughout the entire meal, and when we complained that the cook made our food cold she just left the table without saying sorry or a single word.Now let me get on to the cook, this lady needs to get her life together. Shes was overheard complaining about being $40 short to get her nails done, like, get some teeth, theres some spots in that mouth to be filled....my girlfriend ordered a sourdough sandwhich with pink in the mid, that entire thing including the fries and onions where extremely burnt, and my mac and cheese and our friends steak came out extremely cold...i will never tip these staff members ever again in my life
