After having a nice second evening at this spot with my girlfriend I'm confident enough to leave a review and share what went well and what could have some improvement. The times we've been here were blue skies weekday evenings close to 5-6p, so even then there were already a lot of people, but still always a few spots open. It is a walk up to order kind of place with self-serve water and then they bring it out to you, but you can leave it there for them to Clean up kind of spot. Nice warm bathroom downstairs that takes a bit walking through some long white halls to find. My girlfriend and I both ordered the same things again because we both liked them very much. The portobello mushroom with the caramelized onions and cheese and sauce was somehow so good for me the first time that I ordered it again. The Garlic fries were pretty good (on the soft side) with side aioli and ketchup. The complaint/feedback for the vegetarian burger is that "everything is soft" and could use a "crunchy" texture. Maybe toast the buns or add crunchy onions because otherwise it's just a soft veg burger, cheese (have to add on), the lettuce and the buns.*Share the fries (first time we ordered fries and onion rings and it was too much + I didn't like the onion rings so didn't get it this time)*Chocolate milkshake tastes so good so we ordered it again.*Burgers around 11$ (I don't mind it without fries because sometimes its nice to have it broken up incase you don't want all the frills) *Garlic Fries 7$Amazing views and outdoor space. Drive a bit into the park after and go see Rainier :)We love this spot because its a short drive from our apartment and always has a good vibe.

Great place all around. Unfortunately, they no longer have the Windsurfer IPA on tap, it was my favorite ?
Our favorite local spot! Yummy food, beautiful view and great brews.

Food was yummy and the Viking Stout delicious. I had the portobello mushroom burger. It was messy but good. Food was a little pricy for the fact that there was no side with the burger. We made the wrong assumption that there would be a side but were able to order garlic fries, which were plentiful and delicious.Seating outside was beautiful and they had it meshed in with heaters so it was very comfortable even on a crisp evening.Vegetarian options: I had the portobello mushroom burger. Definitely not vegan but a good veg option. There were a couple of things on the menu for vegetarians. Not labeled but easy find something. I didn't try it but they do have a vegetarian burger option as well.

The dark lager was light and delicious as were the fish tacos. The view of Lake Washington was also gorgeous.

Pros: It’s a great place (and basically only place near there) to grab a beer by the lake. The view, deck, and location are awesome! The staff is friendly. It’s a bit chaotic/messy inside. Cons: The food is terrible. Everything comes cold or stale tasting.

Cod Tacos. Presentation was unappealing. Fish lacked flavor, tortillas were barely cooked. There was the thinnest slice of avocado and not much slaw. The pictures of the order online menu do not match.I do not recommend the fish tacos.I added two pics. One of what I got and one of the online menu.

Well, the food used to be great, which is why we came back. However, the Magnuson owners decided to stock up on Target buns for their burgers, and the burgers have shrunk. No longer do the burgers come with lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles. You get a plain burger with some onion dribble over the tinny poor excuse of a burger. The fry’s look like they scraped off the left overs from the last poor guest that visited. Times 3 and two Beers will set you back $80 smacks. In short, to save, or make, more $$$, this place decided to steal from the patrons. Oh…and it took 20 minutes to receive our meal, most likely because they needed the leftovers to serve to our party. Either fix this, or I predict this place will be closing their doors by next year.

Great location and heated outdoor space are the two pluses. They had a good BLT too, though it was too small for the price. That's the minus.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting your establishment, and I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback about the experience. First and foremost, I must commend the ambiance of your café and brewery. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming decor created the perfect setting for a relaxing meal or drink with friends. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating area, which provided a picturesque view and added to the overall charm of the place. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the selection of craft beers. The variety of brews available was impressive, and each one boasted unique flavors and characteristics. It's clear that a lot of passion and expertise goes into the brewing process, resulting in high-quality and enjoyable beers.

It was a nice place to eat with the water view. There are plenty of seats outside and inside. I ordered a classic burger and share 3 tacos with a friend. The classic burger came with Pickles, lettuces, and Tomato. The sauce was water down thousand's Island. The patty cook medium, it was perfect. The buns hold up and did not fall apart. It was on small scale compare to other places. Taco was ok. I would not order again. But other people like the tacos. Not sure what to say about the service since you ordered at the counter, but they seems friendly.

Stopped in for a quick bite and their burger, beer, and service was great! Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality.
