Overall we enjoyed the vibe and the food, but we were disappointed by the service.
The buffalo chicken was spicy and pretty tasty and our burgers had a real authentic homemade taste to them. Delicious!
There was a good selection of alt rock being played which I enjoyed, but it was a little noisy.
Our server wasn’t so great though. Left us waiting to order for a long time (we were almost about the leave when he finally came over) and we also had to wait for what seemed like another eternity to pay the bill.
Don’t know why as the place wasn’t particularly busy.

First time here, loved this place. Super affordable. The food was fresh and came out in speedy manner. I had bourbon grill chicken sandwich. It hit the spot, I was famished. The service was exceptional, we got waiter, comedian and city ambassador all in one. Thank you for the recommendations. There was a lot happening at the venue, good loud music and decor.

We stopped here on our way to the Space Needle looking for something light to eat, but unfortunately it was not a good experience.
I ordered a pastrami sandwich with tomato bisque soup. The sandwich tasted okay at first but quickly became unpleasant, and I couldn’t finish it. Ray ordered the beef stroganoff and only took two bites—the meat was extremely tough and not chewable. He also had hash browns, which were edible, but overall the food quality was very poor.
The café has an old, nostalgic feel, but cleanliness was a major issue. There was a fan above us that was heavily covered in dust and dirt, which was honestly pretty gross and made the experience uncomfortable.
We also noticed some strange signage, including a warning about drug use in the restroom and a menu that says “Alcoholic serving alcoholics since 1929.” While some may find that humorous, it didn’t land well given the overall condition of the place.
When visiting a new city, reviews matter, and unfortunately this is one I would recommend skipping. I hope the owners consider improving cleanliness and food quality, as this could be a much better stop for tourists with some care and attention.

Read good reviews but was super disappointed. Food came out cold. The meat on the French dip was over cooked and super hard and when it came out it was soggy on the bottom and super cold. Steak was super fatty and cold as well. Service was great loved the waiter he was awesome. Joked around a bunch and made us feel comfortable. Atmosphere was pretty good. Very much like an old bar. I liked the vulgar statements on the shirts and the posters those were fun. Price was crazy. 154 dollars for 3 peoples food and drinks. This is not a high class place. Should not of costed that much. Liked that it was one to our venu and parking garage. But overall not a very good impression. I would not eat here again. Maybe just drinks.

We were there at 4:45a bc our bodies are on east coast time – so good! Great coffee, pancakes, biscuits & gravy. Really nice service. Entertaining atmosphere, for sure. Worth the time and money – enjoy!

We searched reviews looking for a fantastic hamburger & decided to give 5 point cafe a try. One of our party members had a valid out of state vertical drivers license so a 10 minute wait quickly turned into a 30 minute wait. I’m guessing the establishment had trouble with under age dinking previously. The restaurant had an automatic 5 percent add on too , we experienced this during co-vid but it was 25 percent then.my table all ordered hamburger & cheeseburgers but were disappointed. I recommend changing out the fryer grease because the fries were heavily saturated in oil. The hamburger patties had a frozen box feel not a fresh in house grind. The restaurant was freezing due to staff leaving door open to serve patrons on the patio.The restrooms had a might catch a disease vibe some call it grunge, the restaurant overall cleanliness was bad. We won’t be returning to this establishment again….

This place is an absolute gem. The food was phenomenal… fresh, flavorful, and easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything came out quickly and was clearly made with care.
The service absolutely deserves a shoutout. Danny was our server and he was fantastic… friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience better from start to finish. You can tell when someone actually enjoys what they do, and it shows.
Excellent food, excellent service, and a great overall experience. This is the kind of place that earns repeat visits. We’ll definitely be back.
EDIT: We came back for breakfast and had just as great of an experience. The food was every bit as good the second time around, and the service was excellent again.
Jeffrey was our server this time and he was fantastic… friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. It says a lot about a place when the quality and service are consistently this good, no matter when you come in.
Still a solid 10/10. Highly recommend.

Tried this place for the first time back in 2019 when I first visited Seattle. Tried it again this past weekend and it was just as good as I remembered it. The service was great and we got seated immediately. The food was very good. It is a little pricey but still so good. Highly recommend it!

We went for an early dinner/late lunch. Was told that the tables are only for parties of 3 or more so we were sat at a crowded bar. Even though other tables had two people seated at them.
If you need accessible seating, I do not recommend this place. We weren’t given the option to wait for a table.
At least the French toast was bomb, but it was hard to cut with how tight the bar seating is while wearing my wrist brace.
