“So good! We read through lots of reviews. Super mixed, but we have been driving by for a long time and furious. So we went anyway. Casual inside. There was us, a mother and daughter, a family, and a couple groups of guys. Sport screens, music that made me want to dance. Not overly loud, but the waitress was soft spoken. Kind, but soft spoken . The lady with her daughter recommended the jalea. Think Captain's platter, but with a foot long fish, buttery, delicious. Fried stuff on the outside was more fied chicken style than greasy fish and chips. Shrimp, scallops, octopus, mussel, clam, calamari, white corn, sauteed red onions, , tomato, lettuce, yucca fries. Enough food for two. Rich, flavorful. As someone who doesn't like tarter sauce, I used the salso. Oh yes! Great with chips- even better with the fish and seafood. Not your ordinary salsa. Yum! I could not identify the ingredients. Tomato? Bean? Tamarind? Spices unique and tasty. 21 for so much seafood My husband got the pan huelo? Think soup with a whole crab leg, octopus, scallops, shrimp, squid mussel, clam, fish, calamari. All in an orange sauce reminiscent of pumpkin and white sauce with tasty spices. Add the onion, cilantro, and lime. We didn't add the rice, Tasty rice, e licioys soup, though rich, so my husband at only 1/2 to 3/4, then "helped" me horchatta- less sweet than most. Yay! Flan we have not tried yet because we are still full. Lots of leftovers. Looking forward to eating them. Nice people. We will be back!“

“this place is awesome. good food, good drinks, good service. dang, Seattle , you got some good food.“

“Hidden Gem on Beacon Hill ✨
When I arrived at Family Friend, I honestly wasn’t sure if we were in the right spot. This hidden treasure only reveals itself by a small neon sign — unassuming, but absolutely worth the find. Once inside, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and comfort.

There was no hostess at first, but we were seated quickly by Sharon, whose smile and energy could light up any room. Her service alone deserves a standing ovation — patient, kind, and passionate about every dish she described.

🍲 Start with the Corn Soup (Rosary Style) — sweet corn, tender chicken thighs, coconut milk, onion, and garlic. It’s silky, vibrant, and layered with comfort and spice.

🥬 The Gollai Hågun Sope — mustard greens & kale in coconut milk and turmeric over corn. A vegan dream — not a large portion, but rich in flavor and nourishment.

🥟 Riyenu Empanadas — beautiful in presentation, though a bit too fried for my taste. The creamy green fina’dene sauce, however, was divine and worth the order alone.

🍹 Signature Old Fashioned — honey-forward and sweeter than expected; if you’re a traditionalist, you might prefer a classic version.

The outdoor patio was my favorite surprise — warm heaters, cozy art-covered walls, and an intimate setup perfect for date nights or quiet reflection. Accessibility was great, and while I wouldn’t call it “kid-focused,” it’s perfect for adults seeking calm conversation and quality food.

✨ Final thoughts: Modern, soulful, and filled with heart. A neighborhood must-try that feels like home away from home. I’ll be back to try the fried chicken and smash burger everyone’s raving about.

“We visited Radiator Whiskey for our wedding anniversary and had a delightful time. The bone marrow was especially amazing, and the server made us feel very comfortable and even readily helped with a minor substitution we requested. Great environment, felt very private even in a busy night.“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“

“If I could give this place ten stars, I would! The food and drinks are the best on the block but it’s just a compliment to the great people who work there. No matter how busy it is they never forget you and make you feel right at home.“

“This place is a gem! Go now! It's outside of the fray of the market. The staff is so kind and attentive. A lovely break from sightseeing.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best wings in Seattle, hands down! We stopped at Golden Rooster on our way to the Seahawks game, and it was a game-changer. Walking in, the vibe was electric and welcoming, setting the tone for what would be an incredible meal. We were lucky enough to get a taste of the Korean BBQ wings (I think it was the owner who brought them over as samples!), and wow – they were beyond tasty. Those flavors sealed the deal, and we immediately ordered 30 wings, plus their sweet potato fries and some chicken strips. Everything was top-notch!

The wings were crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the sweet potato fries were the perfect side. This place is a must-stop spot in Seattle, and it's officially our go-to before every Hawks game. Highly recommend Golden Rooster for anyone looking to kick off their night with amazing food and a killer atmosphere!“

“Had been looking forward to checking out rachel's ginger beer and we picked out two amazing flavors of ginger beer - Pink Guava & Cherry x Mango 😋 The friendly and fast service also deserves special mention! We returned the second day and got the pink guava vanilla float which was also pretty delish!

“Handcrafted Ginger Beer: They are known for their handcrafted ginger beer, made with fresh lemons, strong ginger roots, organic cane sugar, and high-quality water.

Variety of Flavors: They offer a wide range of flavors, including original, blood orange, white peach, pink guava, blueberry, and seasonal options.”“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“Live music, good food, funky atmosphere, great staff, cocktails, and walking distance. What’s not to love. Check this place out.“

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“great bar! came here out of convenience & glad we did. ordered the prizefighter, white claw & fries. the fries are to die for & the sauce has an amazing zing. 10/10, 5 stars!“

“We happened upon the Diller room on our way back from Pikes Place market … what an unexpected but fantastic stop! If you love bourbon (and we DO) this lovely historic bar is a must visit. The bottle selection is exceptional, and Shawn our bartender provided great pours and the most welcoming attitude despite how busy he was!! A true gem of an experience in the emerald city!“

“8-bit Arcade said they were wheelchair accessible and guess what?! THEY WERE. Not only could I get through the aisles, but the bathroom set up was an example in inclusion!! The door was easy to open and lock, the sink was easy to get under, the doorway was absolutely wide enough to get in and out of and there was enough room to maneuver for my wheelchair inside the bathroom!!!! It was amazing. Plus the staff was kind, courteous and even gave us a warning when the loud speakers, near us, were used!! Absolutely recommend!! 🫶“

“Great atmosphere, kid friendly, awesome selection, and great staff!“

“Been reading about this burger for months now, and I finally willed myself to go down there to check it out. I had the double tavern and the chili fries. I’ll start with the fries, crispy and hand cut. The chili and was great and the sour cream and scallions were a nice touch. Huge portions though so they’re great for sharing. Now the burger, I had moderate expectations based off reviews and pictures. I always leave establishments disappointed when I have higher expectations so I came in with an open mind. I decided to dine in because all food tastes better when it’s Hot and fresh, and it was just that. The meat was cooked perfectly, the cheese melted all the way through, and the sauce was nice and light. The onions gave it a nice kick as well. It was very good. Beware, although it is a double, it is kind of small, so you can definitely kill a couple of them before you start feeling full. It’s really good overall, and I’ll definitely put it in my top burgers in Seattle (probably right next to The Red Mill.) These burgers were also a nice change of pace to fast food burgers, more expensive and the fries are extra but really worth it if you want just a nice, juicy, messy burger. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu items.“

“Loved the service and ambience, fun place to catch up on major WWE events! It was a random find to catch up with a vibrant crowd and enthusiasm accompanied by cocktails, on tap drinks and nachos! 🍻 They have a minimal Food menu: nachos with cheese and jalapenos, Hot dogs (2 options). But you can get your own food from other restaurants inside Lariat.
Booth seating, high stool bar seats or just lounge on the old charm seats.
Requesting Lariat to add fries to their menu!“

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“On April 17, 2025, we (my Swedish cousins and visiting niece) had some of the very best fish and chips ever under new ownership of experienced Seattle owner/fry cook Brian T. Brian has moved into sourcing extremely fresh seafood from our local Western Washington tribes. Look for this great spot in the Pike Place Market courtyard, entrance hall just north of the so-called "original" Starbucks!“

“Fantastic old fashion, I just wanted to go hide in a dark corner and enjoy a drink. This place was more than I was expecting. Dark dark dark room with dim candle like lights and wicked sick music that just sets the vibe. The bartender is leaving me be vibing with what appears regulars but I can see she is still looking over the make sure I'm not waiting. Reminds me of my fav pub back at home.“

“One of the most comfortable and “beer pub” styled beer bars in Seattle, and a great anchor for Morgan junction. Excellent local tap list and large interior - comfortable bar and lots of seating. Fun games on the other side and great bartenders.“

“I’m not sure who had more fun at Growlerz, my dog or I!? I enjoyed great company in the sun, with a cold glass of suds. My lab went home happy as a lark and exhausted. Our experience was five star!! 😁“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“I felt like I was teleported in time to an early Nirvana performance during my visit. Central Saloon was on my Seattle bucket list and I am more than glad that I visited the venue. As a Nirvana fan, I was able to see where they had one of their first concerts ever if not their first concert. I enjoyed visited a music history site. The staff was also very polite, friendly, respectful and professional. I highly recommend visiting Central Saloon.“

“This spot is incredibly unique. It's at the top of my list of things I miss in Seattle since moving away. And to be sure, if I'm visiting Seattle you will find me here!“

“Wow! We capped off our Seattle adventure with a stop here...amazing service, outstanding oysters, and a wonderful selection of local drafts.

Of the whole weekend, this was the spot...we left asking ourselves, "why haven't we been coming here the whole weekend?"“

“We had a fantastic lunch at The Dandy! Tried the sardine tartine, mushroom frittata, and a shrub & soda, all delicious. The owner was very welcoming and recommended some great options. The recipes come straight from his wife, which makes them extra special. They’re now open for daytime service, and their wine collection is seriously impressive!“

“I support establishments that support inclusivity“

“I love this place and the new owners make it even better. Good food, local fun and good drink prices, steak night Friday is hard to beat for the value for sure.“

“Live Jazz in a secret location.“

“Historical saloon with tasty food and drinks. Also, great atmosphere for amazing live music. Highly recommended!“

“Great place for Karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays“

“The fried mushrooms are a religious experience“

“I love the cocktails, the people, and the atmosphere ❤️“

“The brunch menu brought us in, but the service and atmosphere had us feeling like regulars. Mimosa’s, eggs Bennie’s, and Pattie K set the vibe.
Pattie K was friendly, super efficient, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Even when it got busy, she was on it, and you could tell she really cared about the guest experience. This is definitely a must visit spot!“

“I attended a gathering there...that started in the parking lot because the owner was an hour and a half late opening. Nice of him to show up. No food served. None. A kitchen, menus with pizzas they don't serve anymore, but no service. Long lines while he smoked outside. Is this a joke?“

“Always a fun time with great friends!! Doesn’t get any better!!“

“Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, great staff, what else do you need!?“

“Amazing local scene venue!“
