“I had the arctic cod fish and chips! I'm not exaggerating when I say that it was the perfect blend of crispy batter and fish, so nothing felt overpowering and they were crisped to perfection! I'm also a huge fan of tartar sauce and the fries and fish and chips just went so well together with that sauce. Can't wait to come back and try some more!! Also the folks working the counter and kitchen were amazing and very kind.“
“Staff was really friendly. I ordered the halibut fish n chips and clam chowder.The food came out promptly and hot. The halibut did not appear to be freshly battered and fried. It had more of a dino nugget look and taste to it. The fish was also overcooked. Taste was ok. Clam chowder was better. Good flavor and good size chunks of clams and potatoes.“
“This place for me I must say has the best burger and fish in town. The Barramundi fried fish filet will have you going back daily to have the crispy flakiness of this beautiful fish and be sure to squeeze lemon in the dill sauce and on the fish it's a perfect match. The burger you just can't go wrong with beef bacon that was crispy and the food travels well too no greasy mess this burger came from a good home with two parents it's amazing. The fries amazing. I've had the chicken strips which has panko beading so delicious. I can continue about this place. A MUST!!!!!!!! GO HERE!!!! Service is great and ambiance is chill and relaxed.“
“I loved this place. We came in about an hour to closing with a larger party and they still accommodated us. We really enjoyed everything…mostly. I would liked to have more than one crab-cake for $20. However…I do understand the pricing and how expensive crab meat can be. This is more like a 4.7 type of restaurant but the overall price for the portions served wouldn’t let me up the rating. Also…no oysters when we were there…which was one of the reasons we went. Btw…GO HERE FOR DATE NIGHT! Your partner will love it!“
“Don’t underestimate the food in what you think may be a tourist trap type of spot. The food is really good. I highly recommend the crab cakes and the crab chowder. The blackened salmon fish tacos were really good too. They have rotating ciders. If you’re lucky, you’ll find a table by the window. If you’re really lucky the sun will be out for you. Access from 1st Ave. On a Tuesday afternoon they seemed kind of short staffed but still took great care of us. Cheers!“
“The new spuds has risen from the shack! While I did love the old spuds it was so great to see them reopen in the old location with the same vibe and menu!The fish and chips were spot on and was awesome to see how many regulars were coming in and out the storefront.Totally worth the visit if you’re walking around green lake.“
Irish Pub • $$
“True American Irish pub! Great food and service! I had the Shepard's Pie and loved it! I was worried it was too much food and it was, prior to a Mariners baseball game. But I had to eat it all as it was so good! So good portions of food and very tasty. The Coke was good as well, better than at the ballpark.“
“The best burgers Burien hands down! The fresh veggies on the burgers are very fresh. The patties are very welled seasoned, not one bland bite. The beer battered fries were crispy and soft at the same time. Five star customer service from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out, and a very clean establishment. Been here twice already I'll definitely be back for a third plus more! See ya next time Red Wagon!“
“This place may not be in a busy area, but thanks to WORTH IT. one of the best YouTube shows ever, I made it to the emerald City thanks to Steven, Adam, and Andrew from the show recommending to the viewers to come. The show recommended to get the salmon chowder and salmon and chips. They were not wrong. Some of the best food eaten. Owner Steve knows what he's doing!“
“I was in Seattle for the night and randomly found this spot after a Google search of "food near me". I checked out the website and decided to give them a try and I'm so glad I did. The food was slap ya mama good!! I tried the catfish, shrimp, fries, hush puppies, red beans and rice and some buffalo wings and literally every single thing was fire! even the tarter sauce, I almost licked the damn cup lol. I've tried catfish from alot of different spots in Washington and in Portland but this is hands down the best I've had in the PNW. As a native New Yorker it's hard to find food that reminds me of home but this spot did it for me, it's a 10/10“
“absolutely obsessed with this place. everything on the menu is to die for. ivars ? no thanks. not just fish & chips ? HELL YES ! got the cod/salmon combo & substituted the fries with cajun shrimp fries as well as blackened salmon caesar. as u can tell from the picture, we couldn’t WAIT to dig in. if u don’t know what to eat, this place is ur answer. <3“
“Take food that exceeds all of your expectations and add the perfect hole in the wall atmosphere and you have the Pacific in pub down next to the water and close to everything (I was visiting the Fremont troll on that day which is only a couple of blocks away)... For over a year I had a co-worker telling me that it was the best fish and chips anywhere in the greater Seattle area. That is actually saying a lot, because one, this is Seattle and we are the world capital of fish and chips, and two, he was an Uber driver for many years and would snack just about anywhere... Guaranteed. I will be back in the very, very near future. One of the most unique fish batters absolutely highlighted this amazing fresh fish and there is a reason that they are famous for their fish and chips. I fell in love not only with the seriously cool hole in the wall atmosphere of the plates, but both of the staff personnel that I had talked to were people that I wanted to go and hang out with. Love this place, love the food, love the location, love the atmosphere, love the people. You have got to go ... And on a trivia and- Anthony Bourdain visited this place and absolutely swore by it“
“Wonderful and attentive service. Very quaint and fun atmosphere, great for an evening get together with friends or a date. A little on the pricier side for the average dinner, which makes it better suited for a special event or night.Food is absolutely delicious, with generous servings of free bread and drink refills.Scallop Ravioli was INCREDIBLE. Very good portion, presentation, and taste!The breaded & fried salmon bites are also crazy good.“
“Great food, great service one of thebbest burgers in Seattle by far. I hope they survive. I appreciate all the years of great american food and service. Always make you feel welcome amd appreciated hard to find that type of csre amd service these days !“
“Tried this place for the first time and I was very impressed. The restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. I ordered a cheese burger, fries and a drink. You can fill your own drink and there was a water dispenser. The fries were crisp and very tasty. Not to salty. Now for the burger. It was large with all of the fixings. The beef was good quality, not greasy. I had to really grip the burger to get a nice bite. The meal was very filling. Will I be back ......ABSOLUTELY. Side note, there is plenty of parking. Please stop by this Renton Highlands restaurant.“
“Fantastic hole in the wall walk up counter service in the heart of The Pike Place Market. You’ll not get fresher more delicious seafood and chowder than here at these prices. A Pikes Market rite of passage. The place is been here forever.“
“Perfect food- perfect location. Right on the Lake Washington waterfront across from the sand volleyball court and park with its beachfront sand and shared duck, this location is truly amazing and it is exactly the kind of food one expects that ivor's. Always my very favorite fish cooked to perfection, I like the thickness of the fish. I love their fries. I love their sauces. Ivar's, fish done in the Pacific Northwest where the company started and where it continues to flourish. This is my home location“
“It has been years since I was last here because I moved out of the area. It was a Monday night and so it was surprisingly quiet with a lot of open tables. We were greeted and welcomed just after we self seated by a server delivering an order to another large table. Shortly afterwards the barkeeper came across and after handling out questions about what was on tap and took our orders. We didn't order food because we'd eaten elsewhere but their pies are excellent! We had a pleasant evening chatting and they didn't pressure us to order more than one drink each. I'm really happy to report that this pub remains a favorite!“
“The perfect late night spot. Ordered here after a late basketball game In the area and it was right on time. Tastes like my momma home cooking. And I love me some fried fish so this is everything to me and I enjoy that they bring the food to you. Great service.“
“We really enjoyed the efficiency of this restaurant; you order at a counter first and then take a tracker to your table & they bring your drinks / food to you. When you are done you just leave as you already paid! We ordered the cod and chips, and the fish tacos. The cod and chips was AMAZING - highly recommend! The fish tacos were good but they just felt like they were missing something. Service was good and food came quickly.“
“You order outside at the stand and find a seat indoors until they call your order over the speakers. The employees are nice, but you don't interact with them much other than to order and pick up the food. The indoor area is a pretty small space but has a simple and woody atmosphere. We ordered the baby prawns n chips and a tanker of white chowder. We shared the tanker between three people, and it was a good portion. It's pretty salty, but it was delicious. The baby prawns were smaller in portion than expected for the price, but they were still good. We ordered an extra side of fries, and we actually all thought the fries were delicious. The sauces (ex: ketchup, tartar sauce, etc) that the employees gave us were pretty limited, so we did have to ask for more. Although this place isn't the cutest or the most well-decorated, it's still a decent place to get quick take-out/bite. Ivar's Salmon House is right next to the fish bar for more of a restaurant feel, but I didn't get a chance to check it out.“
“I had the True Cod and Chips and a Caesar Salad. I grew up going to Ivars and love that they use cod instead of lingcod that other places serve. The fish was good, but if you haven't been in awhile, expect shrink-fishsation for the size of the fillets. The Caesar dressing is so good, and in my opinion no one makes better tarter sauce than Ivar's!“
Seafood • $$
“Food was generally spot on. Had a fried seafood mix: the cod and clam fritters seemed perfectly crunchy and fresh, the shrimp plump with a thin breading, the French fries were boiled before frying making their insides nice and soft, but the halibut seemed to be possibly not as fresh. The clam chowder was well balanced with larger chunks of clam. The dungeness crab bisque was tomatoey and good. The boiled clams were fresh and not sandy. The service was cordial and informative. The atmosphere was warm and our table had an amazing view of downtown Seattle!“
“I like this place, across the lake from my work at Boeing, you can even see the aircraft. I really like chowder and fish and chips, I wish the quantity was larger on the fish and chips. Sometimes I order the tanker because my love for clam chowder is pretty insatiable. The park/pier ambience is pretty cool as well.“
“I honestly love this place. The staff is always so helpful and kind. Food is par for the course for Ivar's which is excellent. I always get the Cajun fish and chips and occasionally some of the white clam chowder when I'm feeling extra.“
“Went here for an all team admin lunch for admin professional day! Seated at a great table, decor is amazing with lots of cool boats and rods displayed! I had the fetticinine alfredo with Salmon, alfredo sauce was amazing, not bland, not overspiced, just right, salmon was cooked perfectly, nice sear on the outside, ate every bite! Wendy our server was by far the BEST server we have ever had, attentive, polite, funny....if I could steal her away to my company I would! Other servers should take a lesson from her on the right way to treat customers, BRAVO WENDY!!!!!!“
