Our server was so lovely, had such a nice brunch to catch up with some friends. The breakfast tots are a must.

Happy hour was crowded - but at 6 the crowd fell off. We got hamburger ordered rare - when it came it was inedible - cooked way too much so we sent it back and were not charged for it.

This place is okay. The patty and bacon on the burger were both overcooked. The tater tots were good. For me, as someone born and raised in Seattle, this is another overpriced Ballard Ave restaurant with average food.

The whole crew here is amazing. Great bar, great food, and great bottle selection.

Food was not good. They really love the burnt food trend apparently. Fries were limp and cold and I never got the ketchup I asked for.

Food was excellent, service was outstanding, although there was only 1-2 servers on the floor, could've used one more. Noise level was LOUD, couldn't hear my seatmate without leaning close to her. Only real issue was/is lack of parking; street parking only. Had two elderly parents with me, both use walkers. No nearby handicap spaces to be found anywhere. Had to double-park to unload them from the car.

amazing! We tried this out during Restaurant week, but we will definitely be back again and again! Loved the burnt ends, loved the rad bowl. It’s the one with the tater tots mac & cheese, and pulled pork. Can’t miss that. Can’t wait to come back!

Visited last week — my second time here in as many weeks — and I'll definitely be back again. I came for happy hour the first Friday and loved it so much I returned the following week. Great food, excellent service, and a lively atmosphere. My daughter especially appreciated the takeaway cup for her slushie — a really nice touch.

Come for the drinks, but don't waste your money on the food. The cocktails have a ton of variety when it comes to base liquer and there's a great selection of whiskey if you want to focus on that. I appreciated that non-alcoholic cocktail options started at $12. The food is incredibly over salted. My tongue was burning. I ordered the steak frites, which the kitchen only makes medium rare. It came medium to well done. There was barely any pink.

Nicely done cocktails AND food - the hush puppies and steak frites especially! Made for a fun night out with friends.

As a non-whiskey drinker, I can’t tell what drew me to this place. I spotted it while walking around the farmers market and saw their brunch sign.
Ordered the breakfast sandwich and setting sun (black tea, makers mark, lemon) per the bartenders rec.
Both were so good! The sandwich was filling- no sides were needed. Thick sausage patty (almost like a hamburger) + 2 fried eggs. Even as someone who doesn’t like whiskey, the setting sun was really good!

We went to radiator whiskey for a night with makers mark dinner. The event was so fun and well put together. The staff was phenomenal and kind. They really went over the top. The new location in Ballard is intimate , we will definitely be visiting again
