Not fancy by any stretch, but solid char grilled burgers at a reasonable price.

If you're in the mood for classic bar vibes done right, Loretta’s is a must-visit. This place really feels like a go-to spot for the locals. It’s got both indoor and outdoor seating, and on a perfect Seattle day, you can’t beat sitting outside with a cold beer in hand.

The staff was super chill and helpful—this was my first time there, and they made the ordering process easy and seamless. I went for the tavern burger (single), fresh-cut fries, and a beer, and honestly, everything hit the spot. Simple, tasty, and exactly what I was hoping for.

From what I could tell, Loretta’s is one of those places that people can rely on for a solid meal and a good time. I’ll definitely be back for more.

Note- my rookie mistake was driving pass their parking lot in the back lol. Just a heads up for newcomers— they do have parking.

Local dive bar people know from far and wide. Excellent beer options and a killer kitchen. The hand made
Tavern Burgers ROCK, as does the
Salmon Tavern Sandwich, and most of the rest of the menu. I hear stories about their Pork Tenderloin that looks as big as a plate!

Different menu than Star Brass... they don't have the Salmon Tavern, and the Sockeye Sandwich comes on a more durable potato bun... right up MY alley.
My gal had a Salmon Salad, and we split fries. Taking half the salmon home and most of the fries for salmon hash & eggs for B'fast.

BTW, these folks still pour Boundary Bay IPA. A personal fav-o-rite. Clean beer lines, tuis soon to be sold Bellingham Brew may not be long for the PNW beer market... so, I'm getting my pints in while it is still a real classic American IPA.

I finally had the chance to try this spot with a group of friends. Pro tip, there is a parking lot right behind the building. When we arrived, we grabbed a table outside since it was a nice day and we went inside to the bar to place our order.

I got to try several items including the double tavern, the deluxe burger, the fries, and the chili fries. I added bacon to my deluxe burger which ended up being a nice touch. I think the portion sizes and quality of the burgers were great for how much we ended up paying. The bread was soft, the beef had a nice cook to it, and the fries were crispy and had the right amount of salt.

Overall, this is a really good hangout spot to come with a group and order some drinks and food. I really like the laid back environment and there was plenty of space to hang out. Would recommend!

I’ve pretty much become a regular there (all the way from Tacoma) and it’s great every time. The music is always on point too. The real highlight is Brooklyn — my friends and I have actually started texting each other: let’s meet at Brooklyn’s! She laughs with us but also knows how to give us space. She knows my drink order every time and her food recommendations are always on point. So whoever is in the kitchen is doing a solid job as well. Thanks for being dope.

Their burger is the best smash burger I've had! It's simple yet so flavorful and the drinks pack a punch. If you're wanting a chill vibe, good drinks and a good burger stop by!

Quirky and rustic old school dive bar with great food. Of course, I had to try the Tavern burger. It was delicious!

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Loretta's for my final Seattle meal on my way to the airport and it will now be a MUST every time I visit! Rustic dive bar feel with absolultely fantastic food (order the pork tenderloin sandwich and thank me later) & cocktails. Brooklyn was our server and she was top notch! Sweet with a side of sarcasm in the best possible way! As someone who works in the service industry I wanted to give kudos where they are due and she made my first time here spectacular ensuring I will return.

Okay fair to point out I haven't been back here in 2 years only cuz I moved too far away to be able to go. But I used to love taking the bus for an hour just to come down to get the breaded pork tenderloin, normally I can only get that at the State fairgrounds. Couldn't ever find this sandwich anywhere else. And they make it so crispy and amazing, get a side of fries if you also want something extra to chew on but you could eat the sandwich alone with a nice cider or beer. Sitting out in their back patio is also so nice when the weather is great. They used to have a big silver old fashioned trailer in the back it was cool. But then they got rid of it, can't remember why. Great hole in the wali place
