“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“

“Trevor was wonderful and helpful. Definitely if you can eat here and Trevor helps you out, you will be well taken care of. The other staff helping him was awesome as well. All the staff deserve an applause. Thank you for a great experience and taking care of my family during our visit.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been coming here for years. Nice, family friendly spot. Good drinks and cheap food. I don’t know if it’s considered a “hole in the wall” spot, but definitely a hidden gem!

Hannah* was my bartender, my 2 most recent visits and she was nothing short of amazing and we had great conversation! She was also quick and on top of the morning rush. Wanted to write her a review, ask for Hannah if you’re at the bar!“

“Excellent food. great service. 5*“

“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!“

“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!“

“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..“

“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! ;)“

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

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

“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!“

“This is not a typical Courtyard Bistro, they have a full restaurant. Staff was amazing, Savannah and Patrick. I ate here 3 times during my stay, everything was great. Calamari, Burger, Steak, Quesadilla. Great selection of local beers and spirits, overall a very nice bar selection for a Courtyard. Was not expecting that.
I also spoke with the manager to compliment him on the staff and food. I am hoping my job sends me back here in the future.
Oh and breakfast was also a good value and good food.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 😎“

“On the water. Fantastic food“

“Mandy provided exceptional service! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our entire dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. She checked on us regularly, kept our drinks filled, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out. It's clear she cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Mandy, for making our visit such a great experience—we will definitely be back!“

“One of our favorite places to go, we are always treated very good, friendly and fun, have met some really wonderful people there. Really good karaoke and host/hostess.“

“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!“

“no frills pho place that has really clean & yummy pho! surprisingly the noodles were the star of the show, broth and meat was also good but the noodles were perfectly chewy- not overcooked but not undercooked

their chili oil is also spicier than most but very yummy“

“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.“

“Great food. Comfortable and quiet.“

“Food is okay but would probably be better if the overwhelming smell of industrial cleaner and pine sol wasn’t permeating off the floor and booths. The cook was cool the guy at the counter was also cool and attentive but the smell made literally physically ill to where I threw up all of my food as soon as I walked outside.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“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 🍱🍔🥤“

“They have good customer service. Good food and environment is pleasant and everyone is very friendly. I would recommend this bar to my friends.“

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

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

“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.“

“The service was outstanding, our meal was excellent and in a timely fashion. Definitely will bring mom back again for lunch! (French dip & fish tacos).“

“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!“
