34 Best American Restaurants near Carnation

“Fantastic service all around. We had just a small hiccup with our Thanksgiving dessert order, but they went above and beyond to make it right, and before our dinner. Everyone loves their desserts for a reason! We truly appreciate all they did for us. They are also one of my favorite breakfast places in the valley. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I had high hopes for this place when we learned of its impending opening, and we were not disappointed! Their brunch is the best around. I realize there is not much around, but if there was, it would still be great. Really solid place for dinner or just to have some drinks and apps with friends. I would even go here with someone I don't like. The food, drinks and service are all top notch. It's a classy joint without being pretentious (I'm glad spell check corrected how I would have spelled pretentious), but somehow chill and casual.We need more places like this on the Ridge!“

“Food and drinks are always top notch, especially the duck poutine fries, brisket dip, or triple pig pizza. Service is always friendly, but can be spotty when it's busy. My only words of caution are: Visit when the weather is nice. Their seating is basically an enclosed patio and can get a little chilly... but they do provide blankets and heaters to try and keep you comfortable.“

“I know they don't take reservations, but I called a week in advance to let them know there will be 12 (seniors a driver and chaperone). When we arrived we were welcomed warmly. The waitress was only 2 weeks in there. She was awesome!!!! We had separate checks. Food was amazing! Burgers, fish and chips, deep fried pickles, Brussel sprouts....I could go on. She and her coworkers keep water glasses filled, napkins, to go boxes. Great place to go. Seniors approved!“

“We have been here for diner, drinks, dessert, and brunch.Every time the food was excellent... but the service and atmosphere were beyond expectations.Service is super professional, with a charming touch that makes you feel at home. To me, that's what an American diner means... your food at home when you're not at home.The atmosphere is like being at home... but better, since you don't have to do dishes or clean-up.“

“This was awesome! The food was GREAT! The waitress let us get EXACTLY what we wanted. The only reason it's not all 5 stars is because it was loud during March Madness. So if you're not up for that, fo elsewhere. But for us, it was fine. Make sure to ask for Ashley! She's the best!“

“What an amazing diner/cafe. Super unassuming place but if you ask any local, it's a gem. It's our local for a good reason. The team is wonderful - friendly, always gets the order right, happy to accommodate picky kids and allergies. The food is phenomenal. Hubby gets champions breakfast, kids love the swedish combo and I have never found a bad special there. We love it all.Great atmosphere, great time and great food.“

“First time and had a great experience. It was busy, but the hostess kept us informed and felt she got us in as quick as possible. Breakfast was delicious! Loved that they had half size orders, too, which was plenty. Server was friendly and attentive. Great experience. Will definitely come again when we’re in the neighborhood!“

“HUGE PORTIONS at the family owned sports bar in Issaquah service was fast and attentive. The place was not crowded at 1PM on a Tuesday. I had a flat iron steak sandwich. It was served on their signature sourdough roll. It contained cheese, sautéed onions and a signature sauce. The steak itself was THE WHOLE STEAK. Not sliced and was a half inch thick. They cooked it to order, I asked for medium rare and it was close but a little over. It was obviously not. Prime cut. But it was still good. The friend I was with goes there all the time and said everything on the menu is good. There is a bar you can sit at and several TV screens to watch sports on. I feel like this is a good place to hang out and enjoy a game. So four stars. Cheers.“

“A nice place to grab a cocktail out on the dog-friendly back patio, especially on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon! Fantastic service, wonderful location (I mean, how charming is Gilman Village?!), and a cozy interior as well. Although we didn't order any food, the farm-to-table menu boasts several intriguing entrees, several vegan options, and generally healthier entrées than you'll find at most restaurants. Very recommended, and we look forward to coming back for lunch or dinner in the future, the next time we're in the Issaquah area!“

“This is one of those places where you really don't want to share to others because it's so good, you want it to be your regular joint in secret--but honestly, the food from this place puts Duvall on the map as far as a burger/fry place. My friends and family love this place as an option for takeout or sit-ins. Modestly, so. Whether you've lived in Duvall for a long time, are just passing through, or have yet to set foot in it--you must happen upon this place during one of your pilgrimages if you must visit one thing. It puts your overhyped burger places to shame. The selection is not too huge, but that allows for them to concentrate on quality. The service is super friendly and welcoming. Be sure to get your sauce on the way out! Become a regular today! I especially love their battered fries and burgers. The place is under new ownership, so be sure to give them a warm welcome and encourage them to successfully take on the mantle of one of Duvall's mainstays.“

“Granted that it has been a while since I was last there but the Blue cheese burger with sweet potato fries and spicy aioli is the best I've tried in 4 states, hands down. Oh and Great service and craft beer selection. I'll be Back for sure!“

“Wildfin has become our new favorite northwest restaurant again. We went for lunch today, and they had a new special, grilled halibut covered with a lemon butter sauce, and it came with squash.I think it was the best fish that I have ever had. It was grilled to perfection and then baked. I hope they have it available next week because I will go back just to get it.“

“We really like coming here on nice days and eating outdoors. We like the club sandwich, tacos, mushroom and Swiss burger, the fries(!!! So good), iced tea, turkey melt, and Reuben. It's a big menu so we haven't tried a lot. The view is amazing! The only issue is the bees on the outdoor patio. The service is mostly quick.“

“Your cafe is a delightful oasis where every sip is a journey and every bite a taste of heaven. From succulent steaks grilled to perfection to the tantalizing flavors of authentic Thai cuisine, every dish is a masterpiece that leaves patrons craving for more.“

“The Riverside Tavern never disappoints. It's a fun and friendly Tavern. The FULL-ON DRAW, when my Husband and I are passing through around refreshments time or whenever he is thirsty, is the bartender/cook/customer service rep; JORDAN KNADLER. Someone referred to Jordan as the flower in the haystack. The patrons are an eclectic crew that prefer attention. The atmosphere is kicked back and unpretentious. Jordan remembers everyone, makes an effort so you are comfortable and catered to, and always has a welcoming smile with an approachable demeanor - whether you're a familiar face or a new customer. The wide variety of brews and foods she creates and serves never disappoint. When you're in Fall City, WA, stop by the Riverside Tavern and treat yourself. Thank you Jordan! Derek&Carolyn“

“I am absolutely blown away at the commitment to service, and willingness to go above and beyond to make an evening special!I asked a tall order for my wife and I’s 1 year anniversary, and they absolutely astounded us in every way! I called a few days prior, and spoke to Jackson, who was able to get us a more preferable booking time. But he didn’t stop there! He also coordinated with the pastry chef to make us an amazing, sugar free desert; to accommodate a sugar allergy. Luvlee was our waitress, and she was absolutely amazing! So sweet, and cheerfully excited for us, that she truly became an integral part of our celebration!All in all, this was the best dining experience of our lives! We will gladly be returning next year! Honestly, the service was so good; we are considering this location for a future vow renewal ?Thank you so, so much to everyone that worked so hard to make our night special! We really couldn’t have asked for anything more.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated a sugar allergy, and made us a delicious desert that we could eat!“

“We had a good time here grabbing some food and beers. The place looks really nice and has an inside and outside section. There’s a bar outside with seating as well. The staff was friendly and the food and drink were good too. They have a nice selection of foods with burgers, fish and chips and salad. As for beers, they have some local ones which I was happy to hear. The place seems relatively new, so it was clean and had a decent layout. it’s a good place to hang out.“

“My family went for my birthday dinner and everything was delicious as always. The hours are super short these days and the prices have gone up quite a bit as they have everywhere. That said, if you want a delicious, high quality ingredient meal, it's absolutely worth making sure you can get there when they're open.“

“To whoever is reading this, just know you are awesomeOn to the reviewWe finally made it to Seattle … Always wanted to visit this city cause I was a huge fan of Kurt CobainWe stopped here about a year ago and was glad we didTheir hamburgers was absolutely remarkable man … One of the best I have ever eatenThe whole staff here was awesome sauce as wellHighly recommend this place … Not sure if we will ever visit again“

“Lots of IPA selections! Food is decent. Ok to bring kids for a family style meal. Great for friends having a fun time. No big crowd, which is nice. But the sitting area is not very spacious so could get quite noisy when the place is full.Kid-friendliness: Ok to bring kids.“

“Good classic American food, and the service was phenomenal. We had a large group of 12 come in on a Sunday afternoon, and we were the only group there. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, and made lots of good recommendations to order. The appetizers came within 10 minutes, and our main dishes took about 20. The ridge burger and Reuben tasted great and classic, and nobody in our group had any complaints with their food. Overall what stood out to me was the beautiful restaurant and the experienced and friendly waitress.“

“It's hard to go wrong with Jak's Grill. I was sad to see the U Village location go. I've enjoyed every meal I've had at Jak's - great steaks, good value if you hit happy hour, great service every time. 100% down to revisit Jak's whenever the opportunity presents itself. The only negative about this visit was they were out of the ribeye.Parking: There's a lot behind the building for parking, a pleasant surprise for a downtown eatery.“

“Taco Tuesdays! Was there earlier this week it was great, honestly the 4 star on food is strictly cause they don't carry cilantro! Lol tacos were delicious and filling all while meeting some new people, deff a fresh breath away from city!“

“I eat Dickey's every week, sometimes twice a week. I love the original BBQ sauce, and the pulled pork sandwich is never bad! I had them cater my dad's celebration of life luncheon. They delivered promptly, and professionally. The food was delicious as always, our gests were impressed and loved it. Thanks for a wonderful meal!“

“Amazing experience! Kurt took good care of us at the bar and we got our food in a timely manner. Everything was served at a good pace as well we started with 2 Levitators (if you like gin I highly recommend) and 2 sharable appetizers the nachos, and the mushroom flat bread. Both dishes were divine! Everything was perfectly balanced with really fresh ingredients. Next we had a Levitate burger and a Greek burger. I really appreciated that they asked about burger temp on the Levitate burger as not all places care if you want a little pink or well done on your beef patty. The Greek burger the falafel patty was sublime not too salty at all and well balanced with Tzatziki sauce and thinly cut cucumbers (I think they were burpless as well so bonus!) and tomato. All in all the service and atmosphere were very warm and inviting a very comfortable place to come have a drink sit and eat in good company. The food was fantastic 10/10 I will be back again and would recommend EVERYTHING that I ate.Vegetarian options: You absolutely must try the mushroom flat bread you will not be disappointed I promise ?“

“This is the second time that I have eaten here and it never disappoints!!! The service is always so intentional and the staff always are so accommodating to dietary adjustments/allergies. My friend and I were able to eat gluten and dairy-free without sacrificing flavor!!! All the food is so fresh and it's apparent that each dish is executed with thoughtfulness. I'm looking forward to visiting again!“

“We’ve always loved this place. Tried the new Brunch menu today. Food was good, eggs Benedict was perfect, and omelette also great! Needs Bloody Mary’s on menu. Service was ok, very nice server but timing was a bit off, long absences… we’ve also noticed a lack of attention to detail, bathrooms needed tending, food on the floor, a piece of broken glass in the stonework on the wall and paper taped to bathroom door like nobody knows what WC is, that’s one of kitschy things we love, the weird bathroom! Just needs a little love & attention.“

“I'm a bit conflicted... this place isn't amazing by any means. but if fills the void of the dying diners around the area. Far more superior in quality of food compared to local IHops, Denny's or Sharis. Sno Cafe/Deli is in true form a late night eats spot.There is a solid variety of food options for one, from appetizers, to breakfast/brunch eats, light and heavy lunch options (burgers, sandwiches, salads) and dinner options (rib roasts on weekends, soups, asian food).I haven't really had anything there that I wasn't surprisingly delighted. My go-tos include: the grilled cheese sandwich. lightly toasted thick cut sourdough and some cheddar cheese melted in the middle. I love the country scramble with gravy.I wouldn't recommend the "fish burger" or anything off the special menu, as it's usually day old stuff if not more, repurposed to make it sound special.the soda's are free and the food is good and they are open late! there isn't a whole lot to complain about, however if it's semi busy the wait for food can take some time. but so as long as you aren't in a rush, it's a great place for late night eats and some gambling!“

“What an unexpected gem! You will not be disappointed. We had a date night there on a random Friday and could not be happier. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and the place is super cute. We ordered the beet salad which was delicious. I had the filet, my date had the halibut. Both were fantastic, as good as any over-hyped trendy spot in Seattle. Dessert was also very good. We enjoyed the cocktails, especially the one with Absinthe.I was not expecting to be so impressed. Absolutely top notch, you will not be disappointed. Addressing some of the comments regarding the prices: they are totally in line with other fine dining locations.“

“Great place to eat. I ordered shrimp scampi for 26$ and it tasted awesome even though it was small, it took me some time to finish. They garnish all the food very well making any person happy. The waiters only sit you down and ask you for food, thus making them great people.Vegetarian options: There are lots of salads to choose from that can let you have a great time.Parking: There is lots of parking nearby, either on the streets or in the lot a couple of meters away.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a flat surface making wheelchair accessibility very easy, also some of the tables are small making them easy to eat on when using wheelchairs.“

“Excellent coffee! I have tried their regular mocha, tiger mountain mocha and latte and they were all amazing. You can really taste the quality of their beans. Oh and they also have kombucha on tap which was also pretty good. Decent amount of seating if you’re looking to sit and chill. Ample parking as it’s located in Gilman Village.“

“The Vista prime steak and seafood restaurant is inside the Snoqualmie Casino in North Bend, WA. My wife and I enjoyed our "date night" there recently. The restaurant is just to the right when you exit the elevators on the casino level. The restaurant has a bar area, several tables, and a few big booths. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing! I had the filet, and my wife had the french onion soup. Good wine selection and delicious desserts, too! The prices are high. Dinner can get expensive quickly. The only drawback is ....it is inside a smokey casino. We are non-smokers, so this was a bit of a "bummer" for us. Sitting inside the restaurant, the smoke wasn't too bad thought. Overall, we had a memorable experience at the Vista prime steak and seafood restaurant.Vegetarian options: They had a few vegetarian options.Parking: Parking garage and a large lot in the back of the casino. Valet parking is available at the main entrance of the casino.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide walkways and wheelchair accessible tables are available.“

“My wife and I hadn't been back to the Ram for several years. Ever since they got rid of the Husker Burger and changed the menu, it wasn't worth going back. However, my wife and I decided to eat there the other day and it was new and improved. The burgers were delicious, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very family oriented. Love the sauted mushrooms! We will definitely give the Ram another try.“
