50 Best American Restaurants near Sammamish

“Visited for first time, August 29 2024. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Ordered the fruity French toast. 3 big thick slices of bread, with fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream The bread only had egg wash on one side, as if they poured the egg on the flattop and set the bread on it, As these were thick slices, the rest of it was just dry bread. Not what we expected. We thought it would be dipped and covered in egg. The silverware is the basic stamped out cafeteria style utensils and takes away from the overall experience of this otherwise homey ambience.“

“Honestly, I did not expect this alehouse to serve food this good.

I was a little surprised when I saw a Monte Cristo on the menu, since that's not something you see at all - let alone in a bar. I ended up getting it, and it was surprisingly solid.
It's kind of a mix between a French Toast and a ham sandwich. The bread is very French toast-like, being dipped in egg, grilled, and topped with powdered sugar. Meanwhile, the inside has deli meat and cheese.

This mix worked really well here. The bread was very fluffy, crispy, and well-toasted. I didn't get *too* much of an egg flavor, but I got enough that it would suffice as an average French toast bread.
What was nice, though, was how well the cheese melted on the inside. The ham and turkey tasted great as a combination with the cheese.
I got saltiness, sweetness, and savoriness from each bite.
The jam that they provided for dipping also just added to the unique experience of it all.

For a side, I had the macaroni salad, which I also really enjoyed.
The price ended up being around $24, which was a little expensive but not terrible.

Overall, this was interesting food to have at an alehouse that was actually pretty solid. 8/10“

“I have been wanting to try out the Thursday night happy hour. Last night a friend and I went and I have to tell you that the food was excellent. We can’t wait to go back again.“

“This was our 1st time eating here. I really really enjoyed it. I don't eat burgers n stuff and they had a few Chicken Sandwich options, some Fish n Chips, nd a Fish Sandwich. Thats what I got nd it was fabulous. Crunchy nd not fishy tasting. The rest of the fam had burgers and they devoured them. Meat was fresh nd juicy. The place was very clean and the staff was super nice. We will definitely go back. When you in Renton, swing by you will enjoy it!!“

“I always enjoy my food here. Last time we went, we loved our burgers, Reuben, and fish & chips. They even have gluten free buns. Next time, I’ll try a salad. Service is superb too!! Very friendly and helpful staff. Food comes out fast!“

“Love it. I will go back and recommend“

“Reasonable prices. Service and food are excellent. Been there twice with the same server, Linda, who is excellent. Food comes out fast, too!“

“May be one of my favorite places on Microsoft campus. Had great share platters and nice drinks. I recommend their creamsicle mocktail. Was very well suited for a low maintenance but well run happy hour/team event. Very helpful and accommodating staff.“

“Little known gem very worthwhile checking out. Super tasty menu items. Be sure to ask for a glass of their exclusive, custom-label Pancho Villa Cab (by Barrage Cellars).“

“I have always loved the Cut Shop! staff and ownership have always been wonderful. a couple employees have been undesirable but have gone. I will say i was sadden and my kids were disappointed when they did away with the scavenger hunt. that was a really cool and unique activity. So that was a bummer and them doing away with the mini corndogs.. bummer too“

“Highly recommend Fork & Spoke! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was prompt and the food was top notch! They had a specialty cocktail called “Garden Party” that was out of this world! The staff were very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Justin and his staff always make the members feel welcomed like family as you hear them greeting most of the restaurant by name and often knowledge of their preferred drink order. Love that they have changing weekly specials to keep it interesting and lovely seasonal dishes. My favorite burger on the Eastside is here and is a perfect pub juicy burger. This cozy meeting place is one of the reasons so many generations return to living in this neighborhood.“

“What a surprisingly great experience from a hotel restaurant. This is a restaurant in a Hilton Garden Inn. As far as hotel restaurants go, it was absolutely outstanding. I had the house salad and the Jambalaya. Both were very good. Service was quick, friendly, and accurate. Great portions, for reasonable prices. My server, Leeana, was a huge part of their success. She was outstanding. Thank you all for a great dinner after a long day on the road.“

“Well and Table was the first restaurant where I could eat because I have Celiac Disease. My favorite foods are burger, fries, turkey wings, cobbler, and root beer float. Well and Table is the best place. Heston, Age 6“

“I walked in here in September 1982 thinking my shattered life of 15 years was over. Hazel who ran the cafe, a gruff but loving lady made me sit down and have a sandwich and milk. For the next 5 years they raised me, an irritating punk, showing love and understanding beyond measure, mentoring me in the life of recovery and spritual principles of AA until my fledgling wings let me fly on my own to other places of recovery and respite from the storms of life. It's barely changed, has great coffee now and much more food! A meeting is available nearly every hour in such variety and different people your sure to find your place in what will always be my true home! God bless you and thank you Hilltop, with all my heart ♥“

“This is the third time I have eaten at Cascades and it was absolutely delicious. I ate the rib eye steak while my wife had the steak frites. My son's had the chicken strips and the club sandwich and everyone absolutely loved their food. It was a highlight of our vacation and Muhammad our server was by far the kindest and most friendly customer service we had our entire trip.“

“I am visiting family in Seattle and decided that I wanted a good cup of hot soup. I did some research and found this location. It turned out to have impeccably great service; very professional, properly timed food service and very quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I will return!!!!“

“Was there with good friends this past weekend and the service and food was spectacular! Definitely stop in! Atmosphere is perfect! Will return soon. 👍“

“I recommend everything. Such good food, the GF onion rings were over the top, and the old fashioned's are to die for! Yum😋“

“great food and beverages!! excellent experience!“

“Really good spot to have a beer, cocktail, appetizer and/or dinner.“

“Wonderful introduction to Woodinville! We haven’t visited the area previously. We love wine, but know just enough to make us dangerous. So when we decided to wander the Hollywood District (on a Tuesday afternoon, no less), in search of a place for a quick bite, a bit of wine, and local advice, Purple seemed to fit the bill. The ambiance here is lovely. We sat at the bar and ordered a charcuterie which was a wonderful selection of soft and hard cheeses, cured meats, pickled vegetables, jam, mustard and crackers. Chose to let our bartender, Connor, piece together a half pour tasting flight of local reds to share. This is where Purple shines. The vibe is laid back and unpretentious, totally unintimidating for a pair of pretty novice wine aficionados. Connor chose 4 superb wines for us from their extensive selection and took the time to explain each thoroughly. We walked away happy and satisfied, with copious notes and a bit more wine knowledge than we had earlier that day. Thank you, Connor!“

“Amazing food, wonderful service and a lovely atmosphere! Nice place for romantic dinner or bring a group. I'll be back!“

“So friends have been telling me to check out this restaurant immediately since it's opening at the beginning of March. I went into this with decently high expectations from what I had heard and even so they impressed the hell out of me! The atmosphere is wonderful and reminds me of a tap house, pub, sports bar all mixed together. There is a nice bar area with multiple huge TV's for sports events as well tables, booths, and some outdoor seating as well. They have 30 beers on tap as well as wine and a nice,creative cocktails menu. For appetizers we got the candied bacon and house soft pretzel. Both were wonderful and I imagine the candied bacon is going to be a massive hit. Everything was absolutely amazing and nobody at the table had any complaints as we sucked down our meals. Overall this place has great food, a huge selection of beer, and exceptional service. I would definitely recommend to anyone that asks. UPDATE: I went again recently and the food is still great, amazing projection screen to watch the Superbowl. Service is still impressive and love the local flights of beer that are offered.“

“It was a rainy day and my BF and I had planned to have lunch together the day before. So we decided to go the Blazing Onion as I had always wanted to try it.
Being vegetarian is sometimes hard to find a place that has options for burgers and this place has a few options which is great. I ended up getting the Impossible burger and onion petals on the side and my BF got the Blazing Onion burger and fries. He also ordered us an order of mozzarella sticks. For drinks we had water and I got a Blueberry Lime Fizz and he got Raspberry Lemonade. The water had a lemon slice which was a nice touch.
I have to say that the mozzarella sticks were delicious and cheesy and the marinara sauce was pretty good too. The burgers came and it was amazing!! I ate it all in record time lol. The bun was perfectly toasted as well. I had no complaints on the burger. The onion petals were ok. When I usually see something say beer battered I never taste the beer, this you could. The only issue was they were soggy.
My BF enjoyed his food and the drinks were very good too. Service was great as well. I will go to Blazing Onion again, it was really good. But what made it stellar was the person I shared the experience with, he is amazing.“

“We love this place and haven’t had anything we didn’t like!! Great food. However….. make sure you dress warm… they have blankets you can throw over you but it is still pretty chilly in there.“

“The food was delicious and the service was great. My kids and I loved it! We will definitely stop the next time we are nearby.“

“My favorite the one with pineapple on it ! Delicious 🤤! Service is really good ! We have a wonderful time with kids ! 😎 Definitely five stars ✨! 👍“

“First time at Palmers East did not dissappoint.“

“We are from out of town and were looking for a little spot to grab a Bloody Mary before we start a long day of baseball. We stumbled this place and glad we did. Great service from Jacob, excellent Bloody Mary and delish hot puffs 🤤 We will definitely be back when we are in the area again!“

“Fun atmosphere!! Excellent food!! Excellent service!!“

“I loved their food & it was my first time eating there!!!!“

“We had the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding here and it was absolutely perfect! Great service, great food and everyone left well fed and happy. It doesn't get any better than that.“

“This place offers a rare Latin breakfast menu item called Migas and oh man is it good. The wait staff are all friendly and your cup is never empty. The atmosphere is like a cozy small diner/family kitchen and it is relaxing and laid back. And as a rare tea drinker, I can say that while they charge the same as other places for tea, they serve super high quality English breakfast tea, which was delightful. I AM SO GLAD THEY ARE BACK in Issaquah!!“

“Attended an event on 6/28 catered by Barking Frog. Their set-up is clean and professional looking (you WANT their food truck in your parking lot); their staff is courteous and friendly; they offered a diverse and interesting menu; and our plates were prepared quickly. Oh, the food... top notch! I had the turkey club, my daughter had the mac & cheese... both with their crispy, delicious french fries. AMAZING!“

“My husband and I go here for breakfast sometimes once a week!! we absolutely LOVE the staff. they treat you like family! it's always so wonderful to be acknowledged with a wave a huge smile and sometimes a hug!! The food is pretty darn good too. it's actually gotten even better this year! Also we are sooooooo happy to see K back! 😁😁 We love you guys!!!“

“I am like the food,fresh and delicious.“

“It is really a great place to hang out and enjoyable big bar area and dinning as well along with 2 beautiful pool tables but only 1 unfortunate thing is by the time vibe starts they will be closing at 12 😢 so it will be really good if they can extend till 2 am at least from Thursday till Sunday..“

“Fun place but very very noisy ! Hard to hear. Food was excellent. I had their fall regular pot pie & arugula salad, excellent with hazelnuts. Pot pie was delicious but very black peppery! Also had ravioli…. Reportedly excellent.“

“ordered over the phone one three piece cod and one order of waffle fries as well as the kids meal cheese burger. Got home and discovered two cheese burgers ( not including condiments requested) and no no waffle fries. Added my tip to this order as I usually try to do but maybe next time , ??? No reciept given and I thought i'ts all good ?????“

“Fun little dive bar in a strip mall. I've only been for weekday lunch, but the beer is good, food is really good, and the dive bar atmosphere gets upscale with office chairs. I've had the grinder and Cuban and both were great with lots of fries/tots/onion rings too accompany. We also had a shrimp in a spicy cream sauce appetizer that was really good. The pizza was good, but I much preferred the sandwiches.“

“Excellent food, drinks, and entertainment. No cover!“

“the food is good, the atmosphere is a great place to meet with friends for dinner and drinks! Their Happy Hour menu is great too!“

“This is a long overdue review. We like to go to the DeLille tasting room and then step over for dinner at this place. Their food is very tasty and their service is awesome. We went there and happened to sit at the bar. Both Lucio and Cole were great, Cole's recommendations for dinner were amazing. If you are in the area we highly recommend you stop by to enjoy this great restaurant“
