“Every sandwich I have decided on has been so tasty. I’m not a huge fan of potato salad unless we make it at home but theirs is so good, I upgrade to it every time. If your a Mimosa fan like I am try 1 you will definitely enjoy. If you have not given this place a try I recommend to do so, it’s well worth it ❤️“

“Nice Rooms and outstanding“

“We are at Applebee's just about every Friday afternoon, where Victoria, the bartender, takes our order. She is so sweet and personable and quick on her feet. The gentleman manager is always friendly too, and always comes by to check on us, as does Victoria.. All the servers are very pleasant. The food is good and not overpriced. We're happy to come here.“

“We always had a enjoy ihop in Vernon hill last time we went the waitress name Ramon was very attentive and respectful with taking our order absolutely recommended“

“We showed up there about a half an hour before closing and the waitress that served us was very friendly, she wasn't upset or rude at all that we came in right before closing. Matter of fact, she asked us if we wanted some more free refills for our fries and drinks...“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service“

“We eat here frequently and love everything about it.“

“If you want great food and a family feel for breakfast, then this is it. Parking is sometimes challenging but worth it“

“Wow! Saw the reviews, but so .u h better!

Great service, excellent recommendations, very delicious starters. Good selection of desserts.

Go here, you will not regret it.

No photos, since we just dived in!“

“Excellent food. great service. 5*“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“Always great service and good food. This simple dinner has been around for decades, although I'm new to the area. As a single guy, I enjoy the friendly servers that lighten the day and get to know you. The food is consistently good. It's no high class place or special atmosphere, but it's a reasonable, friendly place to get food.“

“Some of the best home made corned beef hash I've ever had. Perfect poached eggs and fresh sourdough toast! How can you go wrong!!“

“Then go in there for years with my aunt and uncle and other family members.. we used to go to Taco Tuesday went in there the other night still a friendly atmosphere Nice little band playing.. it was all right for a night out drinking.. I wouldn't recommend it for kids I don't think kids are even allowed anymore.

Vegetarian options: I didn't ask but I imagine they got salads and everything..

Parking: It's kind of in a little shopping mall so there's plenty of parking spots also in front of the building.. it's not a big place so it's kind of limited to the people that come in.. which makes it nice.

Wheelchair accessibility: You definitely can get a wheelchair in there I seen one in with there when I was there..“

“Awesome selection of burgers, plus sandwiches, chicken fingers, chili dogs, fish & chips...all the good stuff! (A couple of salads if you want one.) Easy to substitute sweet potato fries or curly fries for the regular (but the regular fries are great, too). And great shakes, all the yummiest flavors. The burger had the perfect bun - pillowy but not dry, doesn't fall apart while you're eating. And they have booths (love us a booth). We would definitely go here again for our burger and shake fix!“

“I’m from Dallas, TX and have had a hard time finding true southern BBQ in this entire state! Except Pete’s! Now, I’ve had great smoked brisket and other great smoked culinary experiences, but this one is the most Southern. What I mean is that the coleslaw is excellent with a medium shred, not too large or chopped too small, and an even amount of dressing. The sweet cornbread muffins with honey-butter straight from cast-iron are amazing. The pickle slices are even a culinary delight, sitting next to raw onions and a plethora of BBQ sauces to choose from. Oh, and free ice-cream cones if you even have room left to fill (we did not, lol). I could go on about the sweet tea, baked beans, slow-smoked ribs, shredded smoked pork, sausage, chicken, and desserts but…Just bring your appetite and try it for y’all’s selves! ;)“

“Got the Naya special (1 French toast & 1 pancake) and my husband got the Chilaquiles. Both were very delicious! Very generous helpings and good flavor. Hashbrowns nice and crispy, eggs done perfectly as requested, crispy crunch/juicy bacon. It was about $20 per person, but well worth it!
The carne asada was tasty and the salsa was SO good!“

“Pull tabs…. WATCH your favorite sports team SEATTLE SPORTS TEAMS…STAFF IS AWESOME and well liked. Fast friendly…… GO MARINERS“

“We came in there on Tuesday night I ordered the crab and prawn Tower salad and I have to tell you was absolutely delicious and I was amazed at how big it actually was I would order this over and over thank you very much enjoyed my meal“

“beautiful atmosphere, amazing service and food is definitely something that does not disappoint!“

“Trotter's feels reliable in a way that is honestly underrated. Comfortable casual easy to enjoy and the food landed in the exactly what I want zone. Nobody was trying to reinvent or give food too much personality which I appreciated. Go when you want a good meal but don't want to overthink it.“

“This was the first time we have eaten in the Muckleshoot Restaurant, and we were not disappointed. The fresh bread basket with the whipped butter and the huckleberry butter was to die for. The side salad and soup were fresh and a lot larger portion than I planned on. My bf ordered the prime rib dip with added sautéed mushrooms, a side of mac and cheese add broccoli and it came with a side of cole slaw. Everything was so good. Even the au jus dip was flavorful. We were surprised at the quality and freshness of each item. Also, our server was friendly and amazing.“

“They couldn't get us in at the renton Applebee's. We waited a half hour. Then the told us it would be another hour. So called up the kent Applebee's and spoke to Adrian. She got us in right away. There were 13 of us. The food was great. The service was great. Adrian stopped by and checked on us. I really want to give her a huge shout out. She saved the day. Our server Shanyah was 10 out 10. Thank you to both of them.“

“Awesome Course but better staff!“

“great local spot, went, will go again“

“Evening meal was well prepared and served. Fairly quiet. Very limited menu and prices typical. Pleasant Wait staff, unhurried by attentive enough. I had the burger 🍔🍟 which was very generous and freshly prepared. There were 4 in our party.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“I performed here a few weeks ago and I had a great time!! The room is super cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the bulgogi cheesesteak is delicious! I definitely recommend The Brick 😎“

“beautiful atmosphere, amazing service and food is definitely something that does not disappoint!“

“Awesome place to eat. Great for the family“

“Have been going here for years and just love it!! Date night, girls night, celebrations, it is the best!!“

“This restaurant inside Hotel 1000 was such a great experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, especially if you’re downtown, and the atmosphere feels upscale without being stuffy. Everything felt thoughtfully done, from the ambiance to the food and drinks.

I had the super dirty martini and it was perfect. The tuna crudo appetizer was absolutely delicious, and the steak for dinner was just as good. The portions were perfect, everything tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared, and it honestly felt like a great value for the quality of the experience.

What really made the night stand out though was Aisha. I was dining by myself, and she made the entire experience feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming. She was incredibly personable, so sweet, attentive, and genuinely kind. She checked in at all the right times without ever hovering and made me feel completely taken care of. Dining alone can sometimes feel awkward, but Aisha made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She truly leaves a lasting impression and is a huge part of why I would absolutely come back.“

“had the French dip before the Seattle Thunderbirds game. very good, good service.“

“I thought the Birria tacos were great, and the avocado salsa was excellent. If I lived here I would go back. We were there in the middle of the afternoon so the place was empty. Service was okay, it seems like food places today run skeleton crews so not a lot of customer service happens these days.“

“My family has loved the takeout from Oshio 2 for years, both the teriyaki and the burgers! The other night I was dog-sitting in the area and ordered the Western Burger with fries (I highly recommend the fries here, they are delightfully crispy.) As this town continues growing up and corporate franchises move in, consider supporting a Black Diamond OG local favorite 🍱🍔🥤“

“Love this place! It fulfills a notch Fairwood doesn’t have- a decent sit down restaurant that is not fast food. Menu is great, atmosphere clean and nice service is second to none.“

“As a regular customer at Pho T&L since 2023 i have always been well taken care by Linda. I also met the owner when i first started dining here. Both very pleasant and sweet people.

The food is delicious. If youre craving a hot tasty pho you have to come down to Pho T&L Monday-Friday!
I have included a 5 star review for the food and Lindas hospitality.

I feel like I need to share my experience that I encountered on Sunday(8/30/26) at around 3pm because the service that day was dissapointing. I was saddened and afraid that the owners were bought out.

I came with a friend, my nephew and son and as we are driving up, im excited,talking to my friend about how great the atmosphere is and the food being exquisitely delish.
However, he was not a big fan due to the servers that worked that Sunday. We sat down, was not greeted. Never got our water until later. We waited patiently as I noticed it was busy sooo we gave them grace.

15 to almost 20 minutes pass and still no one gave us the menus or water. 2 Vietnamese guys walk in and the male servers immediately went to approach them with menus as if we were just sitting ghosts! I was baffled because I have never been treated this way. Im not trying throw the race card because I dont think thats what that was,at least I hope, but I strongly believe these new servers need to be spoken to. I know for a fact anyone else who experienced what we did that day would feel the same way we felt.

Speak to them or let them go if no improvements are made. I know that if this was my business I would pay attention to these comments.

The food and the atmosphere that Linda brings will still keep me and my family coming. But I think its safe to say I will only stop by the week days. ✨“

“We love the ribs on Wednesday but last time they were a little to spicy for us. But as usual we always have a great time there. Love the staff!“

“the food was tasty. it was hard to hear the foul mouths of the other patrons. not a place for kids.“

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.“

“very good evening excellent service and great food music was over the top. I will be going back!“

“On the water. Fantastic food“

“Great food. Comfortable and quiet.“

“The owners are the best. Good service and great food.“

“I went with friends and liked it more than I expected to. The vibe was comfortable, not too loud, not too fancy, and honestly that balance is harder to find than it should be. It was easy to sit, have drinks, talk for a while, and not feel rushed, which made it a great girls night option. Go when everybody wants to go out but nobody wants chaos.“

“Will be back again several times this season. It is cozy, yummy, good size portions to share if you are a light eater. Great menu, great service,no negatives here but hardwood seats a bit uncomfortable. A few padded chairs they have helps. Go! You will not be disappointed!“

“We placed our order, waited on hour. The waitress was a mess. I'm not sure if our ticket was ever given to the kitchen. We left without eating. The waitress did charge us for the tea my friend ordered. Never again.“
