50 Best American Restaurants near Mountlake Terrace

“tiny neighborhood BBQ restaurant with delicious food! discovered this when we moved 2 MLT 5 yrs ago & just as convenient to LFP too! soooo tasty- every thing we've tried...we've tried a bunch and have our favs but all is home made and yum! for 5 years when I call to order and pick up it's the same person- which is absolutely so very comforting; especially happy they were still serving during the pandemic, and thankful they're still there. highly recommend. bonus: still totally reasonably priced! love this local gem.“

“One of our favorites! Niko, Olympia, Demitri and team serve up delicious, authentic, generously portioned, perfectly cooked, and reasonably priced dishes with a hearty side of friendly, warm hospitality. They give this corner of the world a neighborhood vibe. Can't say enough good things! The Greek food is of course amazing, but you haven't had a burger until you've had the Time Out burger.“

“It’s been my favorite place for the last 10years♥️ So many life long friendships made and amazing memories“

“Great place for good food, watch sports games and craft beer.“

“Very well poker tournament…“

“Favorite dinner-and-a-movie theater. Other newer theaters will have better seats, this is still the slightly older-school classic seating, they just took out every other row to add a "bar" (a 2x8, or maybe a 2x10) for food and drinks. This is a 21-and-over, so you can have alcohol with your movie. All the food is reasonable with prices that match. All in all, a pleasant date night. We look forward to it each time. Enjoy!

Oh, let's add a negative, since this is a Regal theater you get Regal commercials at an obnoxious volume, just thinking about them made me knock this from five stars to four. Really obnoxious commercials, Noovie or some garbage. Google wants an update, still obnoxious commercials before the trailers, but it's still my favorite "dinner-and-a-movie" theater.

Update 2024: no stupid Noovie commercials today, yay! Still a good number of ads, but at least I wasn't insulted. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“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.“

“Really very devious food service. Highly RecommendedRecomanded“

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

“I received a gift card for my Birthday in April, We had been meaning to stop in for a date night and finally did it last night. Omg. Its my new favorite place. We had great cocktails, apps, and an open faced sandwich. We ended with the most delicious slice of carrot cake to go! I can't wait to bring more of my friends and family here, I hate that I waited so long to check it out. They are doing a great job here and Im glad its in the neighborhood.“

“This place is Real, Real Good!! Steak salad is delicious and black and blue burger is next level. Highly recommend. Especially if Taymor is working. Exceptional service.“

“In the commercial construction industry, we start early. It is hard to find restaurants that have Decent, handmade, breakfast gravy, and well prepared foods. These are hard workers and they take time and care with your breakfast order
I recommend them highly
Conveniently located on Aurora Avenue with a parking lot in the back if it’s busy
Great job sunrise!“

“We love The Cottage for many reasons. :) The people, the food/drinks and the music!!“

“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!“

“We love Brianna’s Cafe! My youngest has a food allergy and the staff there went above and beyond to make sure she could have food that was safe for her, the food is great and the pie is delicious!!“

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

“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.“

“This is my go to place! Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Love the owner, the staff and the food. Jay's Cafe is super consistent and always happy to customize your order.“

“Great food“

“we flew in late so were starving this morning. The staff were so inviting and friendly the food was absolutely delicious!!! Large portions. Will definitely be back!!“

“I have been coming here for over 20 years : when I lived in Seattle and when I visit. We came today after going to MoPOP. We wanted a chill atmosphere with guaranteed good food. I always order the Reuben or soup. Today, they had vanilla cider. So wonderful!

They have GF Macrina Ancient Grains Bread! I haven’t had an actual
Sandwich in a restaurant in ages, but today, it was not only GF it was delicious! So good I ordered one to take home.

Go for the good food, good atmosphere, very friendly service and cozy feeling.

Parking: Be sure to plan to walk a little. It’s difficult to tell when parking will be available near the restaurant. We don’t mind walking a few blocks. It’s worth every step.“

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

“Decent size space - dining room, bar seating and patio. Super busy for a Monday night! Tapped burger was very small, but filling. Highly recommend mixing a side of bbq and garlic aioli for the best fry or tot sauce you’ve ever had! Even dipped my burger in it. Order at the bar before sitting down. No one came by to ask how our meal was or if we needed anything so not really the best service despite having a lot of staff. Good selection of draft beers and lots of canned options.

Parking: Large parking lot with plenty of spots in the back

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps or barrier to entry“

“Reubens brews has a food truck outside called Reubens Eats. It has a short menu, prices are a bit high and portions are a bit small. The taste is good although it takes a while for food to come out sometimes (even when it's not busy). It's nice to have the option there most of the time.“

“Came here to meet a friend for dinner and absolutely blown away by the customer service, atmosphere and food. Tracy and Stratton were top knotch during this visit. I've been to many of places here in Seattle and this by far, the best. The only thing I'd change/request is the inventory of the shirts in the store to be available year round. #trevorproject #loveislove #whiskeylove #pnw“

“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!“

“Awesome place (with awesome food options) and an awesome bar (with awesome drink options) that's connected to an awesome bowling alley (that sometimes includes live music performances on the weekends) both of which include awesome staff who are always friendly and professional but not to an annoying or fake degree, they're all just legitimately cool people there.

“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“

“The atmosphere is cozy and authentically Irish, the service is fast and friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish tastes homemade and true to tradition. A perfect spot for great vibes, amazing service, and outstanding Irish comfort food!“

“Best public track in Western Wa.“

“Emory's on Silver Lake is a gem! I recently had their fish and chips, and it was absolutely delicious – perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also tried the pink rose cocktail, which was a delightful complement to the meal. The location is fantastic, right next to the water with plenty of parking. I especially enjoyed sitting outside by the fireplace, creating a cozy and scenic atmosphere. The servers were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Emory's for a great meal and a relaxing ambiance!“

“Wow, what an absolutely delightful dinner! The cocktails were perfection and each appetizer was a 10/10 delicious. Stylish, elegant atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“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. :(“

“I've been coming to this location for a while now. I like to frequent restaurants where the staff is not only welcoming but also GENUENLY friendly, that is this place. The Manager Michael calls me by name as he does his best to get in touch with the customers and always makes sure you are well taken care of. He has brought my food a few times, always with an smile. The other Managers, Marisol and Dave, also do a great job. Always looking around and coming to you to see if you have everything you need or just to say hi, super friendly both of them as they also do their best to delegate their staff, it can easily be observed that they dive in their roles. The service staff is also GREAT ! they are all so friendly and welcoming. Elda, one of the bartenders, is very attentive and always makes sure you are liking your drinks, always happy and smiling even thou she is under constant pressure. Erica, Monica, Segundo and the rest of the staff that i dont know their names yet do a GREAT TEAM WORk, always happy alwasy attentive and always on top of their game. Overall, this applebees is one of the best ive tried. and ive been to alsmost all of them in the state of Washington. I would also lke to mention the Grill Cook with long hair, If you see him around, ORDER RIB EYE, he really know how to get it done right, dont know his name but i know he cooked my Rib Eye cuz i asked my server and he happend to be walking bay at that time. super cool dude.
Thank you Applebees Bothel, everytime i come to you guys after a hard day at work you guys make my night so much better.
thank you thank you“

“Love this place.
If you are looking for something special to eat, this is the right place for you and your friends to be.

Today, I tried delicious BANANA SPLIT ICE CREAM I never eaten this kind before, so delicious. I recommend to try while it is there.
It has creme Brulee banana.
And the price is affordable.“

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

“hands down best food i’ve had in a decade plus! The hospitality was on point ! Cant wait for a second visit !!“

“When Prometheus stole fire from the heavens to give unto man, I now believe it was for want of Wing Dome 6 alarm sauce. As merciful as it is cruel, the flavor is delivered to you with equal parts pain. Upon first bite of the backfire burger, I glimpsed the infinite. Although the flavor was tempered with a bittersweet sadness as I knew I would only have the chance to experience this for the first time but once.

Wing dome is a sacred place where us mortals can truly experience greatness if but for a fleeting moment.

“And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.” - wing dome probably“

“it's super fun so friendly place 👌“
