Good spot for a quick bite. The salmon chowder was very salty 😭. We got extra pieces of fried cod probably cuz they are very small, tastes good. Plenty of picnic seating outside by the water

Absolutely amazing place to have lunch. Sitting out outside and looking out on Lake Washington is absolutely beautiful. No doubt my favorite Ivars location to eat at even though I live far away.

Food gets 3 stars, it is fast food fish and chips after all. Service and Atmosphere each get 4 stars. Would be nice if they brought your food out to you. Nice place to lunch with friends and a great view of boats and airplanes coming and going. Ivars sits in Gene Coulon park, which has plenty of walkways throughout. Great place to walk lunch off and enjoy the scenery.

Every table in the restaurant was dirty. We had to wipe down our own and saw others wiping their down too. It’s not the employee’s fault they clearly was not enough staff to wipe down tables and also take orders and get food ready. You need to hire more people so you could have people cleaning up the restaurant providing a clean atmosphere for people to eat their dinner. This was right during dinner time as well.

This is review for a side order of fries. It was good side for $5. The fries were crispy and not too greasy, I like the sweet tartar sauce. My friend likes her 3 pieces cods. She likes her cods but it is tiny pieces. But for the price, I guess you cannot expect bigger pieces of Cod. The lady at the register was nice and helpful. Sitting and eating the lake watching the sunset was great.

Ivar's had the best clam chowder around. This location, on the lake at the park by Lake Washington, is such a beautiful venue. And more so, with the changing Fall colors.

The white clam chowder, cod fish and chips are a delicious mainstay that keeps me coming back when I’m traveling to the area. Nice scenic of lake Washington tops it off.

Not what I was expecting, small pieces of fish, watery clam chowder. Will not be going back.

Something happened to Ivars. Fish (Alaska Cod) was soggy (full of oil) and extremely chewy. Almost like clams. The crab cocktail was all slimy and gross at the bottom, completely full of some liquid. Not sure what happened, food use to be good here. The view is amazing, but I'd go to Kid Valley next door instead.
