Vegetarian options: They have a beyond beef burger and fries that are vegan

Kid-friendliness: It's not too crowded so we can always find a seat that is private or outside.“

“We had the cob salad tonight it was so fresh and delicious!“

“Excellent pizza and friendly staff!“

“Oh how we love this wonderful place! Just did a Mother’s Day stop by and picnicked like royalty. Highly recommend to anyone of any particular taste, you will find that moment of bliss all seek, Mmmmm! Thoughtful fresh ingredients, carefully crafted.“

“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!“

“The best dinner we've had in years! We shared the Rib-eye , WOW I will be dreaming about those little potatoes too..“

“The quirky and quaint Hansville Grocery is the hub of Hamsville.Ironically, not the best place for groceries, but if you want an espresso, ice cream cone, cold drink, books by local authors, or even a full meal, this is the place! The staff is friendly and attentive and it is full of good small town vibes. Definitely worth a stop.“

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

“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.“

“Took my 3 kiddos for lunch and bowling today. Wasn't planning on the 1 y/o bowling but they have teeny tiny toddler shoes so we gave it a go! She loved it and we felt so welcomed. It can be hard going places solo with all 3 littles who can have rowdy behavior and big feelings. It is a gift not to feel judged or like a burden and Spin Alley definitely gets gift status. Thank you, and we'll be doing this more often!
PS. We had a bday party for our kiddos here a few years ago which was also a great experience.“

“Great lunch, friendly people in a beautiful setting. What more can one hope for? Also, best burger on the Island.“

“We had our son’s rehearsal dinner here and the service was excellent! Drinks and appetizers in the garden and dinner inside. It was a wonderful event and everyone had a great time. Many said they would return at some time for dinner. We planned this out of state and Lynn answered all of are questions quickly. We could not have had this type of personalized service in a typical restaurant.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“I rate Reuben sandwiches across the PNW. I'd give this Reuben sandwich a 90/100. It lost points for sandwich size and presentation mostly. But overall it's exactly what you'd expect from a Reuben sandwich. The fries side had really good texture. I also had a cup of the tomato bisque and unfortunately what they're calling a bisque is just a sugary marinara sauce. In order to call it a bisque it would have to have a smooth creamy texture usually from adding cream and rice then immersion blended to a smooth even texture. Even if it was just called a soup vs a bisque I'd say it was a fail. I really hope they either learn to make a bisque correctly or pull it from the menu.“

“What an amazing night. Chef McCrain and the team at Copine blew my expectations out of the water! The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy, the staff was wonderful! All of our accomodations met , any questions we had got answered, service was smooth. We had the starter and mid course add ons which made for more fun! Getting to try new flavors and elegant preparations was invigorating. Watching my girlfriends face light up as she tried different foods, combinations and textures for the first time was the best experience I could ask for. Thank you team at Copine for an unforgettable dining experience.“

“My mom and I stopped by for a quick lunch and found their environment somewhat vintage and charming. You get to enjoy the breeze off the water, outdoor seating, fresh air, and friendly employees. A simple menu that is tasty, albeit minimal.“

“Seafood is fresh … amazing views 👌🏼“

“Food can be better, pretty basic flavors and simple things like warm bread with the burrata dip is missed. Wine selection is great and the staff is great! One big issue I had was a stupid 5% fee that goes straight to the restaurant which I refuse to support business that use this tactic. I will go back one day but not a place I will frequent.

Response- you are in the very low percent of business that use this tactic that seems a bit dishonest.“

“Alice makes a wicked Paloma!! Go find out yourself!“

“We looooooove the food! The dishes were sooo unique and delicious. The menu had a hint of filipino food. Don’t even get me started on the awesome lumpia! The oxtail mac and cheese was to die for. The owner was so welcoming. We enjoyed the drinks, food, and the cleanliness of the place. Highly recommend! We definitely will be back.“

“Fun vibe and quirky unique decore. Friendly barkeepers. Separate pinball room with a good selection of machines and reasonable pwr play prices. Good food and some gluten free options for those who roll that way. Worth a stop in when you're in this neighborhood. Or a trip if you're seeking a decent meal, a fun decor, and a side of pinball.“

“The fresh grapefruit vodka — a real thirst quencher“

“Amazing staff and Tommy Patrick is a wonderful host.“

“Stopped in with a friend to play some pinball on Wednesday 8/23/23. Pinball map was pretty accurate regarding pins on location, and the games we played were in good condition, spaced out well, and most had cupholders or tables close by. There were the requisite 40"-50" TVs playing sports set up around the bar, but they were not the center of attention - this isn't a sports bar. There were 4-5 pool tables, and all were busy by the time we left for the Ice Box around 9 PM. Stiff well drinks, a decent selection of beer, etc., and decent prices for the area. I like the square wooden-framed ~25'x25' area around the bar, away from the pinball and pool - it was kind of cozy and they had a corner with a mic set up for...music or karaoke or stand-up, or something else I guess. New owners revamped this place in late 2021 or early 2022, and they kept the dive bar atmosphere, but really cleaned the place up. No yucky smells, and I didn't feel like I had to wash my hands after I left. I know that's not a high bar, but I what I mean was that it was a pleasant and unpretentious place to hang out. Didn't try any food - maybe next time. Sorry, no pictures this time!“

“I get my Sullys To Go because I don’t like people. The food is amazing every single time! it’s like you were sitting there, but without all the people to bother you. The food is great and the portions are large. This is just a hidden gem so don’t tell too many of your friends.“

“Great customer service, the best French Toast I've ever tasted, yummy buffalo chicken sandwich, and great dessert in a friendly, inclusive environment! 🏳️‍🌈“

“As a vegetarian this is my go to spot when I wanna treat myself to a yummy door dash meal. Always get the sweet potato fries. I love that they have so many options!! I’m sad the other location closed, and I wish I could order their “dine in only” menu options as delivery /:“

“The seafood omelet was very tasty with lots of shrimp, crab and scallops. My brother enjoyed the veggie omelet and biscuits. Decent coffee too.“

“Dang. I just ate at Giddy Up and I did not expect the food to be that good. I met some coworkers there for a bite and drink and thought the food would be run-of-the-mill burgers and beer. Not only was the food extremely good, but that craft cocktails were awesome! Try the chicken sandwich - you won't regret it.“

“Because they let the regulars just be regulars —“

“Beautiful, lofty space to enjoy the sun or the rain in an upscale but unpretentious atmosphere. Distraction free (no televisions or QR codes). Top notch draft beer and loved the sandwiches -- my Italian Canadian husband said they reminded him of his mom's! If that's not a compliment I don't know what is.“

“Our favorite date night hang!“

“The Philly Cheese steak sandwich was hands down the best in the State of Washington! Tre's Philly Cheese steak sandwich I will travel for over and over again! Well flavored, put together perfectly and the love was in the meat, in the sandwich it self! I enjoyed talking to the staff, they are very good people, that make you feel welcomed! I truly enjoyed being there!“

“Buffalo Chicken salad was awesome!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here. The food was delicious and service was quick. I loved the quirky mismatched tables, chairs and dishes. It gives a more personal atmosphere.“

“The burgers are awesome! 💞“

“We have found this to be our favorite spot when we hang out at the waterfront. Drinks and food are fantastic and the staff are always friendly and easy going! Totally recommend all their food especially the fried scallops. 10/10“

“We had a wonderful meal last night and our server, Reagan was terrific. I come from many many years of restaurant/italian food experience and was very pleased with the experience at Saltoro.“

“Great neighborhood pub where everybody knows your name. Hoping it survives COVID-19 restrictions!“

“I am a seeker of cheesesteaks. Any restaurant that has them I will try it. The cheesesteaks that Tre makes are the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. My favorite are Tres Caliente and the Nashville Bacon Bleu. I tell all my friends about them and I travel from the NE side in Wedgwood (20-30 min drive depending on traffic) to the location because they are that good. Thanks Tre!“

“My favorite breakfast spot in Seattle ❤️“

“We came here in a whim on a Friday night. The bartender was super nice and made me a great manhattan. What surprised us was also the food - we just expected regular bar food and were just hoping for something decent. But whoever was the cook Friday night, you are a master of the fryer. The fries were THE crispiest and most perfect fries I’ve had in years. The mac and cheese bites were so good, the mac and the cheese inside also tasted high quality and not like velveeta. As big foodies we were just trying to satisfy our hunger and get some food in our stomachs before having a cocktail, but we were really impressed at how delicious it was.“

“5 stars simply isn't enough when rating the Fish. Since moving to Seattle from the Southeast, they've become our friends and family away from home. The food is great, and it's one of the only nearby places with draught Guinness! We've watched big games, celebrated birthdays, and many other memorable times at Thirsty Fish. If you choose to stop in, chances are you'll see me there!“

“Overall solid! Will go again [Original] Overall solid! Will go again“

“We we’re greeted promptly and quickly seated which is rare these days. Our waiter was Andrew and he also attended to us promptly and was kind from the start.My wife had the Nutella crepes and biscuits with peppered gravy. She rarely will finish her serving but did this time. (I helped with a biscuit) I had the lumberjack omelette with Pelican special potatoes. I’ll say one thing about the food. We’ve been here 6 months and that’s the best meal I’ve had including 3 of the local steakhouse’s. We will return, and my wife left a generous tip! Kudos to the chef.“

“I have Celiac Disease and it means so much to me to be able to eat somewhere with a dedicated gluten free kitchen. The food was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly. The owner came and talked to us for a bit and the atmosphere in general was amazing. You can tell how much the owner and staff care about what they’re doing and about your experience. Thank you for being a safe and delicious place for me to eat! We will be coming back!“

“Stopped in on my way to the Fisherman's Terminal and what a wicked cool place! Very friendly staff and great prices. Definitely good vibes and lovely conversation. The owner James is so personally and you can tell he takes so much pride in his business. ❤️“

“Dog friendly and food was so good.“

“Went for a UFC fight and was impressed with atmosphere and service.“
