New American Restaurants near Vashon, WA

“I came in a few minutes after they opened and I was greeted with smiles! My server, Lillian, was very nice and the fish & chips were probably some of the best I've ever had (super crunchy and the slaw is yummy!). Will definitely be visiting here again when I pop back over to the island next time.“

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

“The staff was super friendly! They offer sandwiches on greens for those gf friends. I had the heat pressed BLT and it was Soo good! Love the back patio.“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“Great breakfast and cinnamon rolls.“

“What an incredibly unique dining experience! The Derby and The Shop offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Seattle - the chance to dine surrounded by classic cars in their storage area. We hosted a private party here and were blown away by both the atmosphere and the food.
The venue is perfect for special events. The car storage setting creates an unexpectedly cool and fun backdrop that had our guests talking all night. It’s industrial yet welcoming, making for great conversation starters and photo opportunities.
The food definitely lived up to the unique setting. The appetizers during our cocktail hour were excellent quality and well-presented. For dinner, the chicken and waffles were absolutely outstanding - perfectly crispy chicken with fluffy waffles that hit all the right notes. The bulgogi lettuce wraps were another standout, offering fresh, flavorful Korean-inspired bites with tender, well-seasoned meat.
Service was attentive throughout our event, and the staff handled our private party seamlessly. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience that combines great food with an automotive twist, The Derby and The Shop delivers. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something different from the typical Seattle restaurant scene.“

“The brunch menu brought us in, but the service and atmosphere had us feeling like regulars. Mimosa’s, eggs Bennie’s, and Pattie K set the vibe.
Pattie K was friendly, super efficient, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Even when it got busy, she was on it, and you could tell she really cared about the guest experience. This is definitely a must visit spot!“

“Stopped in for some tasty BBQ and was not disappointed. I could smell the smoke from the restaurant from down the street. I had a cup of the brisket chowder, it was very creamy and full of flavor. I got a 2 meat plate with brisket, pork ribs, corn bread muffins, and deviled egg potato salad. The brisket was perfect. The pork ribs had a perfect bite to them and the sauce was amazing. The corn bread was the best I have had in a long time from a restaurant. They had a punch in the bar that went well with the BBQ. Everyone was super friendly and really put my experience over the top. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area.“

“This is the loveliest little place that despite its delicious menu and incredible cocktails still feels kind of unknown. Even friends that have lived in WSea for years haven’t heard of its existence. Even though I’d like to keep it that way, I’d much rather have it succeed and never go away.

Also, got to meet one of the owners tonight, super nice guy with very kind friends. The bathroom even has VIP club-style amenities like toothpicks, mints and lotion. We ❤️ Locöl.“

“The people here are amazing, they're so friendly and knowledgable and not just about the drinks and food they serve but the area itself. I've had a lot of their cocktails over my visits and each one is complex and unique. If you get a chance come in and try their Vanilla Cheesecake Brownie, It was like a little cloud of heaven.“

“I don’t do seafood at all. Most places that have the token beef items the steaks are pretty much just ok. That filet was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Tender, full of flavor, amazing. 10/10.“

“Always great food we go there often for date night😋🤫“

“Great food, service and vibe! Will definitely be back“

“Nice place. Food is eclectic and creative. The waiter was very nice and they seem to have an efficient operation as well. We both liked it.“

“Funky neighborhood bar with very tasty dining options. The poutine was fantastic
The philly was just so so. Service wasn't inattentive, but it certainly wouldn't give you any warm fuzzies either....a bit perfunctory and brusque but I think that's their vibe.“

“I was there for darts, and it was a little awkward until i ordered a drink! The service was great! I think my bartender was ¿Caitlyn¿ I don't know how to spell her name, but her and the tall white dude were very attentive even while they were busy! Dart boards are well taken care of also. Dartlive2, btw.

Parking: Street parking is available, if not directly in front, then a few feet down the street or around the corner. Library parking garage also allows public access.

Kid-friendliness: This establishment is 21+, very good for a drink and dinner with buds.

“love this place! Great food and drinks!“

“Great views of Seattle and a fun course to play“

“If you are in the mood for elegant, vintage drinks with a whimsical (truly whimsical) twist - look no further - thus is your stop, for a sip - or two, or... We had the Chai Old Fashioned and the Last Word... If the devil is in the details - so are the companions of Bacchus - the REAL maraschino cherry in the Last Word and the massive ice cube in the Old Fashioned confirm how serious thus place is about its drinks reputation. Also, the Cherry and Apricot Salad gave us that so very needed connection with the local farmers' produce, it being a delightfully crispy concoction of bitter radicchio and peppery greens, smoothed by a pungent goat cheese and vanilla balsamic vinaigrette.The bread and the sharp olive oil were especially appreciated with the salad. We love gelato, but ordered the blackberry sorbet and did not regret it since it came with a solid chunk of anise biscotti - an excellent pairing for the double espresso. Our waiter, Troy, made us feel well attended, but not even once did he overdo it.“

“Great food and fast service! The waitress was wonderful! I had the grilled salmon. it was amazing!“

“Great food and beer/cider list“

“Great dining. Excellent staff taking care of details. Food was delish !“

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.“

“Excellent dinner beautiful presented and cooked to perfection. We will be returning very soon.“

“Great spot for lunch or dinner. The woman that works the front counter is such a sweetheart.

They get a nice char on their burger, so there's tons of flavor. For the price point, I was happy with the quantity and quality. Would definitely recommend.“

“This is the best new spot in town. Highly recommend. Their dishes are served as you asked, hot, fresh, and incredibly unique. Their reception is out of this world. I will definitely come back for an amazing time. No doubt. Try this new spot out and you will never regret the experience.“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“Solid lox sandwich, but not sure if it's $18 good. Maybe that's just the way of the world at this point. I'm originally from the Northeast (upper right) where good bagels are ubiquitous. I do have to say that these bagels are very good. Pricey, but good. The guy working the window seemed like he might be serving a community service sentence, or perhaps he was just hung over. But I was there for the product, not the service, so I won't ding them for the aloofness. (The person working the donut window next door was lovely and politely pointed me in the right direction, since the bagel window isn't as obvious.) Would I go back? Maybe. But at this price, these bagels seem more like a high end treat than a regular occurrence. Check it out for yourself. I didn't think you'll be disappointed.“

“Great place for brunch. They have clearly marked vegetarian options and a vegan selection, too. The wheat toast is great—thick and wheaty. The berry bar is awesome, and everything was fresh except the pears and peaches, but I still loved it, especially for the yogurt and granola, which were both super tasty. Portions are generous, and we ate outside under an umbrella, so it wasn't too hot. Coffee stayed filled. Great place!“
