Geraldine's Counter Restaurant

Food was not great, bacon over cooked, too thick and chewy, eggs are ok not the best, the biscuits has no balance, too much baking soda, not at all sweet the white lady wasn’t very considerated, my friend was confused with the menu, lack of willingness to make things easier. Server was great and nice. Will not go back again.

We were looking for a place to take my sister when she came to town. The wait wasn't bad and once we got inside, we knew we made the right decision. The food was excellent and the proportions were perfect. We tried the French toast, an omelet and the biscuits and gravy. No complaints from anyone. The most important aspect, for me anyway was the coffee. There's nothing worse than going to a restaurant, ordering breakfast food, and having terrible coffee with it. It can literally ruin a whole meal. Thankfully that was not the case here. From the food, to the atmosphere, to the service, it was all around a great experience for everyone in my party and we will definitely be going back.

I’ve been a loyal regular for years and love the food, but I won’t be back. While most of the staff is great, one long-time employee is consistently unpleasant. Today was the breaking point: they were rude, rolled their eyes, and eventually walked away mid-sentence. Despite the great food, the service has officially ruined the experience for me. I no longer feel the premium prices are justified by the experience.

Best diner in Seattle, hands down. Chicken fried steak is amazing, corned beef hash, honestly anything you choose is amazing.

Geraldine's has a really cozy vibe and the eggs benedict I had was pretty good, though the hollandaise sauce was a little on the tart side for me. Service was friendly and prompt, so I'd consider going back if I'm in the area again.

I recently went on a trip with a group of friends and went to this spot for breakfast.

When we arrived and saw the huge line I went to ask for the waiting time. “20-30 min”, they said and I was the first person on a new list they had to queue. After about 35 min of waiting they call out a name and look around for less than a 3 seconds. The host locks eyes with me and doesn’t say a word.

While we waited another 20 min, we see the host be friendly and communicative with the rest of the guests waiting, except for us. My patience and hunger were growing and I went to ask if my name has been called. Immediately I get got off and denied without the host even looking at the list or at me. At this point we’ve invested an hour waiting and were starving.

I entered one last time and greeted the second host and asked her how much longer since we’ve been there for over an hour and no one has check-in on us. Confused and frustrated when I found out that our table was called 40 min ago.

The original host returns and tries to explain that she read my name wrong. She read “Conner” instead of “Omar”.

Her reasoning and response made no sense to us. She didn’t check-in while we waited, she knew we were the first ones on the new list, I even wrote my name very legible. Still the excuse she gave me was unsatisfactory and we wasted about an hour and a half for some simple breakfast

We were finally able to sit at a table and they tried to butter us up with free drinks but I just wanted to eat and leave at that point.

We even had a conversation with some of the staff to ask if this is a normal occurrence and if my name looks anything like “Conner”, to which they promptly said “not even close”.

Will not be returning!

It's worth the hype! Incredible very fresh food served quickly. The pesto scramble with house made pesto was phenomenal! The drip coffee is delicious and they offer free refills. There is always a big line so you have to put your name on the list, but it moves pretty quickly. The staff were very sweet, kind, and helpful! One of the best brunches in Seattle for sure.

Enjoyed this brunch place. I got an omelette which was good/classic. Added chicken sausage, but I wish they had turkey sausage which I find to be tastier. Multigrain bread was yummy. Recommend switching hashbrowns for tater tots! The famous French toast is delicious but quite heavy since it's fried. I had 1/3 of it and was stuffed.

Price was reasonable for Seattle. Bonus points for clean bathroom.

Wouldn't say it's my favorite brunch place ever, but it's better than all the other brunch I've had in Seattle.
