“Great food and beer/cider list“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“Excellent food and service“

“So we were out and about last night my Gentleman friend mixed up the dates for an opening night to go support a friend

However since we were out and hungry we decided to Google a place and it led us here

The bridge had some amazing food

I personally got the chicken masala, which was very tasty

He ended up getting the Westside burger and sweet baby Jesus let me tell you. The burger was cooked to Perfection it was big it was juicy that bacon Jam jelly they put on there was amazing. I have to admit even the french fries were good

Our server was Frankie. I am glad that I asked him his name. Attentive polite and pretty much showed up anytime that we needed him.

He kept our water going and we were even so groovy that a stranger wanted to sit with us at our table and the night really started flowing

Very interesting dinner party is turned into, but for all the good reasons play the lady that ended up sitting with us we just found out she's only 5 months in to being a widow and I believe that we were directed there to be able to keep her company. The night was grand and I wouldn't change it!

We are definitely coming back to the bridge

Appreciate you for a great Vibe good times and exceptionally great food. It's been awhile since I've been out & had really really really good food“

“Another fabulous dinner with Chef Frank and the team and dessert with Sophia!!! It doesn’t get any better anywhere than at the 909!!! The food is top notch and fantastic!!! Frank and the team are so spectacular!!! The ambience is so wonderful!!! And Michelle - my lemon drop connoisseur - says Sophia makes the best lemon drop of anywhere she’s ever been!!! THANKS for the great dinner tonight!!!“

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

“Delicious food, came out hot and fresh in 7 minutes. Didn't once think I needed ketchup/hot sauce on the taters; they were full of flavor. Super friendly and welcoming staff.“

“love this place! Great food and drinks!“

“Great food, service and vibe! Will definitely be back“

“Great food and fast service! The waitress was wonderful! I had the grilled salmon. it was amazing!“

“A fantastic place to eat amazing food. The owner was so personable and friendly. This is definitely a place that we will come back to.“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“I went here with some friends while visiting the area. They have gluten-free options and the sweet potato fries were in a separate gluten-free fryer. I had the gluten-free buttermilk fried chicken (they offer grilled chicken too) and sweet potato fries. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and the food was fresh. It was our server’s first day serving and she was great, getting all of our questions answered and our orders right. Everything was great!“

“Amazed by the team at Off Alley bringing magic out of a tiny hot kitchen line. Braised rabbit in a verjus sauce with herbs, grapes, and radish. Glorious pork toast. Incredible! It's a very small place with a counter seating inside, but that is a way more fun way to experience this special place than sitting outside on the patio. On Mondays, Seattle legend chef Jason Stratton, helps out and adds a few of his famous dishes to the menu so that is the night to go for the full meal deal. Wine from unique producers make excellent pairings along with the perfect cocktails. Even a cheese course. A perfect local restaurant.“

“Perfect burgers & cocktails“

“Delicious! Little drafty and close quarters. Loud party in the in closed porch and the bartender was uber busy. With that being said, he was excited about the food, friendly, and delightful to deal with. Once the food came, I was blown away by the flavor. Fried brussel sprouts were so good my coworkers and I were laughingly fighting over who got to finish them. Everyone loved their meals. I had the Lamb Ragu (no cheese and it didn't suffer for the lack of it) and it was so good I'm afraid I'm going to be chasing to find a red sauce that good again. Can't say much about the drinks since I only had a perfectly traditional hot toddy but I would definitely try more. Absolutely recommend this and apparently it's side by restaurant 909. I might recommend calling ahead for a reservation there. Even on a Tuesday night this place had a well deserved full house.“

“I discovered this place today. It is, hands down, some of theeee best food I have eaten in Washington state. It is a spectacular blend of flavors and seasonings with 5 star presentation. My 4 year old obliterated the duck 🦆 sammich!“

“I requested a special dish that was not on the menu and she hooked me up💪🏾. I even left my wallet and she stayed late for me to come back and get it. I love this place“

“Love having a local place to enjoy some good food and fun atmosphere. I've been coming here for years. Can still get food that was on menu years ago. Love Mom's mess for breakfast. Looking forward to spending many more days here and enjoying good food.“

“The owners are the best. Good service and great food.“

“We decided to grab some burgers while catching the World Cup, and it turned out to be such a great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was quick and efficient, making sure we got a great seat right away. The atmosphere was amazing — everyone was having a good time, which made the whole experience even better. The drinks were definitely something different, but surprisingly enjoyable.“

“Great views of Seattle and a fun course to play“

“This is a lovely department-store dining experience. We held our book club meeting here. Staff was accommodating; attentive, but not intrusive. Noise level was perfect for an intimate discussion, despite the restaurant being active. Would recommend on all levels“

“The clam chowder, the risotto and the steak were delicious. The focaccia bread was amazing! Shrimp were a little overcooked. Really nice and quiet patio area. More expensive than we are used to spending on a family dinner, but we were traveling and living it up. Would definitely recommend.“

“Evening meal was well prepared and served. Fairly quiet. Very limited menu and prices typical. Pleasant Wait staff, unhurried by attentive enough. I had the burger 🍔🍟 which was very generous and freshly prepared. There were 4 in our party.“

“This restaurant inside Hotel 1000 was such a great experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, especially if you’re downtown, and the atmosphere feels upscale without being stuffy. Everything felt thoughtfully done, from the ambiance to the food and drinks.

I had the super dirty martini and it was perfect. The tuna crudo appetizer was absolutely delicious, and the steak for dinner was just as good. The portions were perfect, everything tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared, and it honestly felt like a great value for the quality of the experience.

What really made the night stand out though was Aisha. I was dining by myself, and she made the entire experience feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming. She was incredibly personable, so sweet, attentive, and genuinely kind. She checked in at all the right times without ever hovering and made me feel completely taken care of. Dining alone can sometimes feel awkward, but Aisha made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She truly leaves a lasting impression and is a huge part of why I would absolutely come back.“

“Nice and convenient place for breakfast. The service was kind, prompt and efficient. The breakfast was just regular, eggs etc., but the breakfast potatoes were outstanding! Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft and hot inside. Clearly fresh, none of that frozen nonsense. Somebody in that kitchen really knows their potatoes, I was very impressed!“

“I always go to the smoke shop next door and I figured I'd stop in here and grab something to eat. I was not disappointed in the least bit. One of the best milkshakes that I've had in all of the Seattle area. I ordered the fish and chips and it was absolutely fire. Was served my food in under 5 minutes. Delicious, fast and worth the money. I would much rather eat here than at Dick's burgers to be honest.“

“Absolutely amazing food & mimosas! Definitely 5 star service!“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“We ate here recently and had mixed feelings after reading the reviews and it being a motel restaurant. My wife and I were greeted by our server and seated quickly. We had an entree, cocktail and dessert each. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent! I’m not sure about the reviews I read being accurate, but my experience was great. Thanks to the restaurant for starting our vacation out properly. I would absolutely recommend this place.“

“First time here and the amptmoshere here was jamming!! People are really enjoying the Karoke night. As far a food, I read online that the restaurant does Beer Battered Cod. To my disappointment they are not beer battered but Panko breaded and were overcooked and fish was dry. The pieces were large but thin. Fries were good and seemed like they were beer battered, crispy and a good amount. So i dont understand the online menu misguiding The staff was pleasant but never checked back to see how I was? No salt and pepper on tables and it took a minute to get silverware and napkins. Not sure i like the waiter stating they need a CC on file for the food order outside. I paid cash and was shorted change back. i'lll give it one more try buy would love to the Cod Beer Battered. It truly makes a difference. The cook did add 2 extra pieces for a sm extra charge of only $4.“

“This is the best new spot in town. Highly recommend. Their dishes are served as you asked, hot, fresh, and incredibly unique. Their reception is out of this world. I will definitely come back for an amazing time. No doubt. Try this new spot out and you will never regret the experience.“

“On the water. Fantastic food“

“Solid lox sandwich, but not sure if it's $18 good. Maybe that's just the way of the world at this point. I'm originally from the Northeast (upper right) where good bagels are ubiquitous. I do have to say that these bagels are very good. Pricey, but good. The guy working the window seemed like he might be serving a community service sentence, or perhaps he was just hung over. But I was there for the product, not the service, so I won't ding them for the aloofness. (The person working the donut window next door was lovely and politely pointed me in the right direction, since the bagel window isn't as obvious.) Would I go back? Maybe. But at this price, these bagels seem more like a high end treat than a regular occurrence. Check it out for yourself. I didn't think you'll be disappointed.“

“In my opinion the best coffee around. It started with convenience and unlike Starbucks they made a standard delicious vanilla latte. But really it's all about the blended drinks. There are their specials which are all good but you can also get the coffee drinks blended & they use an ice cream base that takes it to a whole new level. Plus, you get a free bday drink which is a nice bonus. Highly recommend!“

“Yasmin was great!
We were on a time crunch and she was shift fast and reliable since we have gluten allergy we were hesitant on being pressed with time and how the kitchen would handle the allergies request. Yasmin was kind enough to double check for us that everything we order was gluten free with the kitchen and brought us our order faster than we ever received before. She is the best!“
