50 Best American Restaurants near Kenmore

“I totally forgot to take food photos because I was so excited to catch up with friends, but everything here was fantastic! The drinks and dishes were all unique and flavorful. As a farm-to-table restaurant, their vegetables and meats tasted incredibly fresh. I usually don’t order cocktails, but I loved their gin & tonic—perfect balance of bitterness, sweetness, and aroma. The old fashioned was also great with very rich whiskey flavor. The space is kid- and dog-friendly, and there’s plenty of parking. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu!“

“Friendly staff, great food at very reasonable prices. Worth the trip!“

“We had lunch at Cedar & Elm a few months ago and had a great experience. But Christmas lunch today was a major disappointment. The website said “choose from either our five-course tasting menu or our regular menu”. We arrived for our 1:30 reservation, were seated late and then told only the brunch menu was available. :(“

“Celebrated my wife's birthday with family. We chose the tasting menu with wine pairings and were absolutely delighted. We really appreciated the chef coming out to introduce each course and our server described the wines perfectly. Everyone came away warm and extremely happy. Truly a happy birthday! Thanks“

“The food is always very good. We come here every time we’re in town to visit our husky at UW. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A bit pricey.“

“Clean, bougie Seattle vibes with everything touching the floor going to rust 😆

A Rainier might be $12 but they're still gonna use that single ply supply house TP 🧻

Seattle water pressure and a coooold seat 🥶
That's means it's ventilated... probably.... right?

Whether it's one or twooo 🎶
Harry's fine fooooods 🎵
In a pinch it'll dooooo 💩“

“lIncredible craft cocktails and delicious food (don't forget to try the cake!) But the attention to detail in the beautiful wood design of the bar and fixtures, the decor, and the down-to-earth staff make this my favorite spot in the city!“

“Great food, fantastic servers and bartenders. Super friendly neighborhood restaurant but also worth a drive if you don’t live close by!“

“Our first dinner in Seattle was at Joey Bellevue, and it was outstanding. We started with the mini French dips, which came with a port red wine au jus reduction easily among the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I had the steak and ravioli blanco, paired with their signature crispy mashed potatoes. The steak was tender and flavorful, the ravioli was rich and buttery, the shrimp was perfectly fresh, and the crispy mashed potatoes were truly memorable. Our server, Lanesha, went above and beyond to make the night special. She surprised us with a crème brûlée cheesecake with strawberries as a welcome-to-vacation treat, such a thoughtful touch! The food, service, and atmosphere all combined to create a wonderful first-night-in-Seattle experience. Highly recommend Joey Bellevue for both locals and visitors.“

“I stopped in for a last minute brunch and they were able to get me seated really quickly. I had the chicken fried steak and it was great! The warm bread while I waited was an unexpected, but nice surprise. You don’t see that a lot in the PNW. The service was excellent and very attentive. I will be back!“

“I have eaten at Toulouse Petit many times. It is my husband and I's favorite spot. We have tried many items on the menus and have never walked away unsatisfied. The food is always amazing, the service is kind, and it’s just a place I love coming back to. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out. It’s one of Seattle’s best.“

“Great neighborhood location to eat on Queen Anne.“

“👍🏾😊 Love Farestart! Guest Chef Night with graduation is so good!“

“Great service, good food. Only complaint is they charged $4 more for my burrito than the menu price. She asked what filling I'd like and told me the options, and I choose carne asada. She didn't tell me it was extra though it did say it on the menu. I just hadn't seen it and I wish she had told me. Otherwise great experience.“

“I was here for an appointment and the person I was meeting was late, so I popped in and grabbed a coffee. Sat at the bar and was treated just as well as I expected . I went to pay for my coffee and the Barista told me it was on the house. Came back a second time and got the eggs benedict“

“Absolutely epic source for all thing’s DELICIOUS! We are obsessed with the Pate en Croute, meat pies, every flavor sausage, and their perfectly aged cuts of locally sourced meat!“

“It’s a decent neighborhood restaurant. Although recent experience was not stellar.“

“I absolutely love this place. It is one of my go-to spots in Bothell for consistent quality and service. The food and drinks are excellent. I have been there at every hour of the day and highly recommend all of their menus.“

“Quick service, nice staff, a bit too loud, but I am usually hypersensitive to noise. They do have an outdoor alternative that could use some warming poles now that the weather is cold. Overall, we enjoyed it and the food was ok.“

“LOVED this spot. And the recommendation by Tom was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely coming back!“

“The Attic is my favorite neighborhood hang. Everyone here is incredible—especially Nick and Rodney and Ernesto and really all the staff. They are friendly, attentive, and always make me feel like a regular. I live in Madison Park and make it to the Attic frequently, especially on Thursdays. I'm scared to say how great DJ Friday and Ella are at karaoke in fear the crowd will grow, but currently it's our favorite place to go sing some songs, have drinks, and always food. I've even tried brunch here and it was great! Breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, egg Benedict, salads all good.

We're so glad The Attic is back to being a perfect place to grab a bite with friends, watch a game, sing karaoke, and have celebratory drinks after an event.“

“Amazing food and cocktails! Great friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised coming to this bar to have a couple drinks before a concert. Food and drinks came out super fast and were very tasty! Definitely recommend the S.T.F.U. drink and the Pork Belly Banh Mi Tacos.“

“I headed to Greenwood for some gumbo at 74th Street Ale House. I have had this dish and have often cooked it many times. It is a complex but flavorful dish with many ingredients, but the key is the roux. Flour, olive oil and canola oil are sloooowly browned and thickened. When the roux is ready a pile of vegetables, meats, and spices are added to the pot with broth. The mixture then simmers on low heat for hours. When ready, the gumbo is served over rice. 74th Street is the master! This bowl was as delicious as ever. I also had some delicious, spiced nuts as an appetizer. The service was slow.“

“Me and my family visited here after Snowflake Lane last night on Christmas Eve and they were able to accommodate 8 of us. The ambiance was pleasant, the drinks were amazing, and the food was excellent! My husband and I are vegan and they had several choices. I would highly recommend it here. A little pricey but worth it!“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“May be one of my favorite places on Microsoft campus. Had great share platters and nice drinks. I recommend their creamsicle mocktail. Was very well suited for a low maintenance but well run happy hour/team event. Very helpful and accommodating staff.“

“I ordered the crispy/spicy and had the best lunch I have had in months! The size and quality of the chicken is fantastic along with the flavor. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this food truck....“

“Excellent food. Wonderful service .. Recommend The Shambles steaks… all of them🙃“

“Everything about the meal was fantastic! The drinks, the food, the dessert! All amazing! We will be back!“

“Little known gem very worthwhile checking out. Super tasty menu items. Be sure to ask for a glass of their exclusive, custom-label Pancho Villa Cab (by Barrage Cellars).“

“Great home cooking and some specialties. Friendly and fast service. We loved it!“

“I have always loved the Cut Shop! staff and ownership have always been wonderful. a couple employees have been undesirable but have gone. I will say i was sadden and my kids were disappointed when they did away with the scavenger hunt. that was a really cool and unique activity. So that was a bummer and them doing away with the mini corndogs.. bummer too“

“Haerfest delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, thoughtful, and deeply comforting, with portions that were generous and perfect for sharing. We sat at the counter and had the pleasure of watching the kitchen in action—the cooks were professional, well‑orchestrated, and clearly took pride in their craft. The space was spotless and had a warm, friendly energy. The pork shoulder was a standout, but truly every dish we tried was excellent. The wine list was approachable, varied, and refreshingly affordable. Even when the kitchen had a small mishap with one of our dishes, they more than made up for it with graciousness and care. Service was another highlight. It genuinely felt like the entire staff was looking out for us—not just one server—which made the evening feel seamless and welcoming. The atmosphere had a cool, relaxed vibe, and we could actually enjoy a conversation without shouting over other tables. Overall, Haerfest is a gem. Excellent food, attentive service, and a comfortable, inviting atmosphere make it a place I'd happily recommend for any night of the week.“

“We did the 4 PC chicken and small chicken strips and it was delicious. Great flavor of the potato salad and homemade tartar sauce was perfect. It was a lot of food and well worth the drive there from our house. staff was friendly. Smells wonderful inside. We'll be back again for sure.“

“Award winning staff that never forgets anything to make your stay pleasurable.“
