Best KPortal Reviews

Showed up for Battle of the Bands this evening where 4 high-school bands were playing for a fundraiser. Food was great - Buffalo Chicken Salad and Blueberry Milkshake were yum! Friendly staff and great nostalgic diner decor. Definitely coming back!
I ate here the other day for breakfast and it was an absolute treat. The place has a wonderful atmosphere to it. The breakfast menu has all the usual suspects along with a few surprises. I got the sampler and everything that came with it was delicious ????
It was nice that they allowed me to sub out my bacon for more sausage.
My waitress was Dottie she was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her attentiveness was second to none also. You could tell she enjoys her job there. In fact so did the other waitresses Jasmine who was serving the other tables in that area.
I'll definitely have to come back for the lunch/dinner menu a few times it looked to have a few tantalizing dishes. I honestly can't wait to come back to this establishment and I give props to the management and owner for hiring a great team and providing an excellent experience through and through. You all are doing something great here keep it up! ????????????
Atmosphere is great.
Food is standard breakfast items. It's hard to mess up eggs...
The pancakes aren't my favorite. Tough and chewy. Eat them while they're hot.
Service was fine, not "friendly" by any means but we got our order without any hiccups.
Street parking.
First time coming here! What a great atmosphere! Very lovely, spacious, and lots of colors (decorations)????. I ordered the Steak & Eggs and my husband ordered the Veggie Skillet dish with a side of French fries. My dish was delicious: comes with toasts, two eggs, potatoes, and the steak itself. Very very delicious ????. Great portions too. Very nice customer service. Definitely coming back here in the future. Highly recommended!!! :)
It was my first visit to Seattle, and my friend took me. Fantastic breakfast! I had a killer mushroom omelet w/ their homemade biscuit. My friend had eggs Benedict. We both had coffee, and our breakfasts rocked! Very friendly server, too.
Now when I visit, I want to make breakfast here a Seattle tradition!
All the food was delicious - the bacon, especially! Great spot to grab breakfast by yourself or with a few people. Great service. Would definitely return to try something else on the menu.
Street parking is free for a couple hours, or there's a paid lot behind/across the street from the restaurant.
I enjoy this place a lot. They are always friendly and the service is good. The wife and I have been here a few times now and we think it’s one of the better spots in our area. No complaints and overall good place to get some grub.
This is the second time I ordered food for my order to be so messed up I didn't want to eat it. The burger bun was slathered in nasty garlic aioli after I asked for it not to be out on my burger. The bottom half of my bun was so soggy from the nasty aioli that it was inedible. I asked for the burger to be cooked well done and the small bite on the edge of the patty is straight up pink. Supposed to be a half pound burger and it's not. So if the there is less food the price should be lowered. The menu prices went up and the food quality went down. I am now cooking my raw burger. I would have been better off just having peanut butter and jelly for dinner. I have worked in high volume high demand restaurants in the back of the house. The workers are lacking in communication for this to keep happening. I am not ordering food from this place again.
