12 Best Diners in Seattle

“Service Right Away! Even if there's a Wait with a list, it generally moves relatively quickly. The kitchen is a well organized smooth moving machine, this is apparent to me as I've run several breakfast kitchens myself over the years in the business.“

“Don’t think twice about dining at Young’s! Food incredible and comforting. The service is wonderful and quick. Ample street parking. Enjoy some classic breakfast favorites and come in to meet your new favorite fried rice - there are no wrong answers on this menu! Check out this White Center staple.“

“I'm a picky eater but I wanted to try eggs Benedict. This was my first time enjoying poached eggs. The waitress was kind, attentive, and did not hover which was great.

My girlfriend loved the atmosphere and we'll be sure to visit again. It is tough finding spots worth waking up early to eat. This diner is worthwhile.“

“Absolutely amazing place to get high quality diner food with an extensive amount of vegan options available

Highly recommend the vegan breakfast burrito

I would strongly suggest avoiding the vegan pancakes though ... they leave a lot to be desired, I've given them a few tries but I would just avoid this item LOL

Other than that one critique I love this place.“

“The whole vibe in there was amazing! Awesome service, and coming from deep southern mountains of South Carolina, they put their whole backs into cooking the food! Absolutely without a doubt they are invited to the cookout! We will definitely be eating here when we come back to Seattle! One of the best breakfasts I have ever had!“

“Brand new cafeteria in the new Behavioral Health building also includes a great outside sitting area. I love their food. Their main menu food is great and like home made. They have a grill with burgers and fries and a daily special by chef Anthony, his food is amazing.“

“The Alpine is one of our favorite go-to diner breakfast places in the White Center/West Seattle area! We have always had a pleasant experience with the wait staff and the food! My favorite is the French toast or the avocado bagel 🙌🏻 my husband loves the country fried steak and the biscuits and gravy! It’s a place for good casual breakfast and brunch; they’ve got good cocktails as well as the most delicious NA turmeric/orange juice tonic.“

“good food friendly atmosphere.. breakfast is my favorite“

“I go there often and it feels almost a second home.💖“

“I am from out of town, and just absolutely loved chatting with the gentleman working there. Thanks!“

“I went to Denny’s recently and honestly, I had such a great experience. From the moment I walked in, everything felt warm and welcoming. The place was super clean, bright, and cozy. Even the little garden area outside looked really nice and well kept, which gave the restaurant a friendly, homey touch before even going inside.

The staff was amazing! Everyone I met was kind, cheerful, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. The hostess greeted me with a big smile, and my server was super attentive the whole time — always checking to make sure I had everything I needed. My coffee cup was never empty, and even though the place got a bit busy, they still made sure everyone was taken care of. That kind of service makes a huge difference.

Now about the food — it was so good. I ordered the Build Your Own Grand Slam, and everything came out hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, the bacon was crispy, and the eggs were exactly how I asked for them. You can really taste that classic Denny’s flavor that’s comforting and consistent no matter when you go. I also treated myself to a milkshake, and wow — it was thick, creamy, and full of flavor. Definitely one of the best milkshakes I’ve had in a while.

One thing I really appreciate about Denny’s is the overall atmosphere. It’s one of those places where you can just relax, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. Whether you come in for breakfast, lunch, or a late-night snack, it always feels like a comfortable spot to hang out with friends or family.

Overall, I absolutely loved my visit. The combination of delicious food, friendly staff, and a clean, inviting environment made it a great experience from start to finish. You can tell the team here really cares about their customers and takes pride in what they do. I’ll definitely be coming back soon — and I highly recommend this Denny’s to anyone looking for good food and a good time!“
