50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Mountlake Terrace

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“excelente servicio, la atencion, la comida, el lugar muy limpio.“

“I often get headaches after eating Thai food. Over the 15 times, at least, I’ve eaten here, I haven’t gotten one. Their food is delicious. Staff is great! Easy online ordering.“

“best coffee ever I would highly recommend diore espresso to anyone“

“Consistently excellent "Espresso" and quick service.“

“Really great breakfast. We really try to make it at least once a month.“

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

“Oyster poor boy was the best sandwich ever“

“I can’t believe I’ve lived so close to this place and haven’t tried it until now because wow have I been missing out! The food is to die for. I ordered the savory (chicken and waffles) and devoured it before I could even take a picture. Everything was cooked to perfection, and was a great balance of sweet to spicy and so flavorful. What made it even more special is the owner who made the experience very personal throughout our service. Important to note it is a small place so you may end up having to wait for a table but, trust me, it’d be worth the wait.“

“A real Southern meat 'n' three, right here in Seattle! I'm so glad I stopped in. It's down-home cooking made with love and plenty of flavor. The menu isn't huge and I've tried most of the items, so here are my thoughts:
• House Smoked Meatloaf: Absolute must-try. My favorite item on the menu. Tender, moist, and seasoned all the way through, improved only by the delicious chipotle tomato jam.
• Hot Honey Cornbread Fritters: Definitely don't skip this one, either. Eat em' fresh for the most luxurious combination of crispy, tender, sweet, savory, spicy, and overall heavenly.
• Red Potato Salad: Delicious and surprisingly light! Not your everyday potato salad—I'd definitely recommend trying some.
• House Pickle Chips: Crunchy and fresh, like good pickles should be. An excellent addition to balance out the heavy mains.
• Banana Pudding Ice Box Cake: A unique take on a Southern classic, but don't expect a traditional banana pudding!
• Rotating Seasonal Dessert: When I visited, it was a peach cobbler cheesecake and it was absolutely divine. If you're not feeling the banana pudding, I doubt you can go wrong with whatever other dessert they have available.
• Sweet Tea: Another rare find in Seattle, the sweet tea is actually brewed sweet and it's delicious. Plus the owners let me top it off before I left!
• Braised Pork Shoulder: Very flavorful and moist, but could use a little less salt and a little more acid.
• Braised Rosemary White Beans: Good, but probably my least favorite item on the menu. They could be a bit more thoughtful—they taste like canned beans with some chopped rosemary stirred in.
• Miso Honey Butter Green Beans: The sauce is excellent. They'd be even better with fresh (not canned) green beans.
• Charred Maple Glazed Carrots: Love the balance of sweet and spicy!
• Marinated Slaw: A little bit elevated but still comforting, with some poppy seeds and a little bit of horseradish or something similar to cut through the mayo.

There are only about 8 seats inside, but it's near the lake so it's great to take out for a little picnic. The prices are also super reasonable.

The owners were extremely warm and kind during my visit—even the little one! It's clear that Zax is run with care and passion.“

“Their ham and cheese empañada is the best I have ever tasted! Their pastries are delicious!“

“Best baked goods in town and an amazing staff!“

“A friend recommended this place. Went to try it cause I love banh mis. This family is warm & inviting. Better than YeYes or Seattle Deli hands down.“

“Cool bathroom. Nice location. Friendly staff. I didn’t have a drink but was told they were pretty good. Portions are large. Vegan selections are limited.“

“Came here on a hot 82 degree day and they had a shaded lounge with air conditioning, running water to wash hands, and reasonably priced food. I didn’t even think I was that hungry but once I had a bite I could not stop it was that good! I am 100% coming back here, what a pleasant experience. You can really tell the owner loves what he does and the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, even uses saffron for the rice! This is one gem of a food truck in Seattle.“

“A flavorful delight that is so unexpected in an otherwise sinful breakfast treat. Our experience brought us joy as the owner proudly shared his unique twists in his culinary craft. It is worth a visit.“

“Excellent service and great food!!!“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“This is a great neighborhood spot! The pizza is really, really good, and there's space to spread out and hang with people. The beer is a little spendy ($11/glass, give or take), so I skip that and get something from a nearby brewery if I really want it. But def go for the pizza and the chill vibes!!“

“Enjoyed the queso barria tacos with consome. The meat was so favorable. I wish the tortilla was a bit more crispy but I really enjoyed the meal! I would gladly come back. The free salsa bar was nice too..different flavors of salsa available and I enjoyed experimenting with different salsa pairings with each bite“

“every time my partner & i go on a vacation, she is in the search for the best matcha (for context, she works at a tea shop. so it’s not fully coming from a pretentious place). this place hits the S tier.
amazing matcha. phenomenal Vietnamese coffee. we will definitely be back next time we’re in town.
(also we got the black sesame matcha & black sesame coffee & they were both killer)“

“Wide variety of doughnuts. Various different unique flavors. Also have allergy sensitive and gluten free choices. With various drink choices as well. Super friendly, very clean, great value, very tasty and lgbt friendly. Would definitely return.😊🍩“

“Awesome sandwiches and atmosphere.“

“Cheesy biscuit just melts in your mouth when they're fresh from the oven. Now I wonder how best to reheat the biscuit once home to reproduce that experience???“

“I’m in absolute slurp heaven after eating Slurp Station Aburasoba!! Wow the flavors are incredible, full of umami goodness, and the noodles are springy and fresh. My husband and I shared the Tokyo Ganso Aburasoba and the Shoyu based beef Aburasoba - they are unlike any Japanese noodles we’ve had!

The Tokyo Ganso is a symphony of delicious ingredients all dancing to the same tasty beat. The Parmesan, the poached egg (which was perfect btw), the liquid base and vinegar make this lovely sauce that pairs beautifully with the diced pork chashu. The dish feels jumbo sized, the thicker noodles were so so good, and there’s plenty of chashu pieces. We loved it, it’s insanely unique, a must try!

The Shoyu based beef Aburasoba was also a knock out, slightly more delicate flavors but all working in harmony. The beef slices were super tender, they melted in my chopsticks. The soft boiled egg was still slightly runny yumm. The noodles were thinner than the Tokyo Aburasoba but just as fresh with a nice chew. I also highly recommend it, especially if you want a more classic style flavor.

We ordered to go and the service was wonderful. A very nice server and chef prepared our food quickly and with care, they have nicely branded chopsticks and even put cardboard at the bottom so our to go bowls stayed stable. The restaurant is clean and inviting, with nice background music. Plus they have free parking right in front!

Support local and check out this gem in the university district. Prices are very fair for this quality and authentic Japanese food. My husband and I were sooo happy, we’re foodies and have never had flavors like these!“

“Fabulous customer service from Suzanne ! I mixed up an order and she was able to fix it and was very understanding.“

“Loved the place and the fact I can come back later in the day than most places. Latte was good, not great, but I was happy you were even open because I hate Starbucks. Wasn't happy you ran out of oat milk and I wasn't willing to take the last drop from the bottle and risk getting sick. I will come back again and write a better review 😉“

“Food is phenomenal!! Service was top notch as well!! That breakfast sandwich was slap your mama good!“

“Friendly service/ very good food .“

“Delicious food and wonderful service. I got the k-bbq beef bulgolgi burger and it was fantastic! The lady working there was so friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend the food. Also it's very clean inside and kept up well. The music was pleasant and not distracting from our conversation.“

“New favorite ice cream place! Amelie was so helpful. It was nice to be able to support such an awesome locally owned family business. Their hours vary so I would recommend stopping by if you’re in the area even if google says it’s closed.“

“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!“

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

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

“great service and nice friendly people!“

“Amazing food, great service.“

“There are places that claim to make good sandwiches. Valhalla makes great sandwiches. I have had two competitors sandwiches this week and I was so disappointed. Valhalla puts out a product that’s swings way above its price point. They put “gourmet” in gourmet sandwiches.“

“Had the crew at Brileys cater our wedding. Amazing food! The service was on point. Plenty of great BBQ for all 60 of our guest, even providing to-go containers for left overs.“

“this place is so 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 should have a line out the door. hugeeee portions and wow. so good! bravo🫵🫵“

“We had an amazing dinner at a specialty pizza restaurant in Seattle named Sunny Hill. It’s a little hole in the wall that has the best Pizza and appetizers in Washington. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to check it out. It was so good to be with the family and finish up some details for today’s big event.“

“Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!“

“Friendly service and creative blend of traditional Korean and fusion dishes.“

“Chicken sandwich is so good! House made sauce 👌 simple and delivious. Owner is so sweet and cares deeply about service & his customers. New to the u district area support and show love !“

“Wonderful iced mocha with Costa Rican chocolate and absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich. Charming/ quant coffee shop with unique drinks and pastries. Five stars ⭐️“

“I can highly recommend the pig feast! The food was all very tasty and there was plenty of it, you could not leave without a full belly if you tried. There were community seating options as well as bar and the usual small table. I met some neat folks and had a good chat.

This is not a downside but it's worth noting that the event started at 7 but the food was not served until 7:50. Maybe that is by design, to give people a chance to sit down and have a drink and chat a bit. If I had been a solo diner or on a time schedule I would have been peeved, The food was self-serve, which is great, although when it came to the pig that meant working your way around the bones. It might be wise to use a de-boned pig next time, although if that ruins the 'whole suckling pig' theme then leave it as is.

I hear they also do a salmon feast and something around Thanksgiving, so I'm sure I will be back!“

“A tiny Asian spot off the Burke‑Gilman that I always assumed was a coffee shop. We walked in and got pleasantly blindsided. The Brussels sprouts were the star! Crispy, saucy, with bacon! Our one dish came out huge, and everything on the nearby tables looked just as tempting. They’re still setting up their new bar area, so no taps yet, but the place already feels like a low‑key gem hiding in plain sight. The waitress was a sweet delight too! I’m going to go back when I’m not riding my bike and I can be full right out the door.“

“Great food, great employees ( especially Raechel). We love going to Shiku. They are very helpful with recommendations, and we've never been disappointed. We highly recommend trying them out.“

“Love coming here in the evenings.“

“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.“
