Allie CaldwellFebruary 8, 2016Unless you like canned fruit, skip the dessert bar (that everyone raves about).
Vikki KApril 8, 2013Make sure you get the French toast made with challah bread and NOT another type of bread.
I enjoy the flavors they put together, but nothing is as crispy as it should be (e.g., potatoes, French toast, bacon), leaving a soggy, but flavorful, mess.
Crab cake eggs Benedict is the best thing on the menu.
mayor really? i guess we go here a lot. this place is awesome and kid friendly. best breakfast in seattle, imo.
Crab cake eggs Benedict. Like, eggs Benedict... on crab cakes. I do not need to elaborate here.
Jaci VezinaJuly 21, 2012I ordered the crab cakes benedict from a tip recommendation but they were out of crab cakes :( the chorizo sausage scramble was pretty good though. B/f was not impressed w Phil's breakfast.
Sara BrownMarch 19, 2013I read another tip on here about the salmon hash, so I tried it out. Very, very disappointing. Only get this if you like a giant plate full of soggy, boiled, slightly nauseating root vegetables.
Kaitlin DingmanFebruary 5, 2016The potatoes were rock hard like they had been sitting under a heat lamp over night and took up half the plate. The prices did not reflect the quality of the food. Will not be returning.
PhilipJuly 3, 2015It was OK. The hour wait seemed a little excessive. Might be a good spot if you're super hungry but prices seem a little bloated.
Nancy JohnsonMay 15, 2011Visiting Seattle so it was my first time. Sunday at 9:40am & we were told 35-40 min wait. We waited over an hour while watching people being seated after us. Food was just so so. Meat in veggie entre.

"You could literally spend hours here. The BBQ beef bowl was a highlight from Pike Pit and the mac n cheese from Beechers homemade cheese is a must."
