16 Best American Restaurants in Lynnwood

“the food is well prepared, nicely presented and super tasty. the atmosphere is great too. can be totally casual day or night but also give off a more romantic/midscale vibe. Plus their happy hour rocks!“

“Lynnwood is not Bellevue, and Alderwood Mall is not Bellevue Square. The resemblance is there, but nobody is confused, least of all the mall. Still, Alderwood holds three spots dear to me. There is J. Sweets, where I can get my favorite wagashi imported straight from Japan, sweets so restrained they seem almost to apologize for being sweets. Next door is Arc Watch Works, run by a master watchsmith, if that is a word, and his charming wife; if it is not a word, he is reason enough to coin it. And on the second floor of Nordstrom there is Bazille, a veritable oasis, tucked away where oases are kept now.

After yesterday's failed expedition into traditional American fare, I came to Bazille in a spirit of repair. It is one of those rare rooms that is never too busy and never too empty, as though the place itself has good manners. Today's crowd included a beautiful family of four sliding between English and what I took to be Tagalog, easy as breathing, and a lone woman at the bar who was plainly known to the bartendress. To be known by name at a bar on the second floor of a mall in Lynnwood: that is a kind of citizenship too.

The menu is minimal but not too minimal, caloric but not unreasonably so, which makes it the antithesis of the Cheesecake Factory at the other end of the mall, where the operating principle is more, and then more after that. Even so, I always have trouble ordering. My standing dilemma is the chimichurri steak versus the mushroom ravioli, a question I have failed to settle across many visits. Today the steak won, with a glass of cab and the little gem Caesar. A year ago it would have been the lobster salad, but the lobster salad has gone off the menu, and I have grieved in proportion. Bread pudding after, because repair should be thorough.

The food was, as always, delicious. Five out of five, and here I should explain my system: on a scale of one to five, anything other than a five is really a one. Everyone knows this; inflation has come for the stars as it came for everything else. On an honest scale of one to ten, an eight or a nine, which is to say excellent, which is to say go. The service was its usual five. The atmosphere was divine. A veritable oasis, as I said, and I will keep saying it until Nordstrom puts it on a plaque.“

“Absolutely fantastic sports bar with a great atmosphere, plenty of bar games, and several pool tables to keep everyone entertained. The staff are incredibly welcoming and hospitable. I had the pleasure of being served by Jennifer, who provided excellent service and made the experience even more enjoyable.

The food was delicious, and with TVs throughout the bar showing a variety of sporting events, there's something for just about every sports fan to enjoy. They also host live music, although there wasn't any during my visit. I actually live next to the pub and get to hear their musical entertainment almost every week, and it's always a treat!

One thing that really stood out to me was the strong sense of community. This is clearly a place that attracts loyal regulars. As more people arrived, I noticed both staff and fellow patrons greeting them like old friends, creating a genuinely warm and welcoming atmosphere. After my own experience, I can certainly see why people keep coming back, and I think I've become a regular myself!

Overall, an amazing sports bar with great food, wonderful staff, and a lively atmosphere. I can't wait to come back as football season really gets underway!“

“Went there (the Cove) second times.. had Bloody Mary/sautéed Brussels ❤️The champ.. I ordered to take home ‘Cove quesadilla ❤️Delicious! There nicest economic waiter!

If you don’t like sautéed Brussels sprouts you l***** Smile love that place!“

“I can’t say enough great things about the staff here. My grandparents used to stay here every summer while traveling from Arizona after they sold their home here. My grandpa passed away recently and the staff treats my grandma so well. It means so much to our family that she has such a great experience here. Matt in the bar is so friendly and makes the best drinks and the food is always amazing (the salmon Caesar is my favorite but everything is good). Thank you everyone“

“We really enjoy coming to Applebee’s after work, especially later at night when there aren’t many places still open. We always feel very welcome and have had great experiences with the customer service every time we come. There are also plenty of different dishes to choose from, so we can always switch it up and try something different. We honestly come here about once a week and always enjoy our time!“

“Nice music! Our server was super sweet and was nice and quick getting out food. Her name was Deashia and she was constantly doing work even when she didn't have people to help at that moment.
