Small portions but nice fish and chowder. Appreciated that the fries were not seasoned. Friendly staff. Bit of a ghost town and basic seating.Parking: Side and out front with marked bays.

Our family loves Ivars Seafood Bar. The Fish and Chips are made up fresh once we order. The staff is so kind to serve us at our table after we order at the counter. We love their Clam Chowder as well. The restaurant was clean and service was quick and friendly.

Strip mall comfort food outlet, nothing fancy. The food takes a while, but that's overall a plus as it's made to order.

The staff was very friendly. Food was ready pretty quickly. It was clean inside but the food was just ok. The amount of salmon you get isn't worth what you pay and it has very little taste. Nothing like the Ivars I used to frequent at least twice a week in Federal Way. For $12 you get 4 small 3 inch long strips of salmon that was either sitting for some time or just overcooked....tasted more like stale french fries or stale jojos. The bread bowl was made of sourdough? Wasn't aware of that if it was. Not a fan of the sour after taste. Don't think me or my friend will be returning to this location.

I always either have the fish and chips or the halibut (which is still a fish, but ok) and chips and I love it, but my absolute favorite is the chowder in their bread bowl.

Ivar's Seafood Bar deserves a solid 5 stars! The staff was incredibly helpful and made our visit memorable. The music selection was a delightful blast from the past, featuring Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, and even "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." These classics added a fantastic touch to the atmosphere. And let's not forget the highlight - the 4 piece Salmon and chips were not just delicious but simply outstanding. A fantastic dining experience!
Super friendly atmosphere, everyone who entered was greated with a welcome and smile. Ivar's has always been a favorite chain for me, and their clam chowder has so far been unbeatable in quality (and I've had a LOT of different clam chowders from throughout Washington).

This was my first time going to an Ivar’s and let me tell you, it was a delight! The lady behind the register was friendly and helpful. Our food arrived very quickly, and correct.My daughters love white clam chowder and both of them completely demolished their servings. My oldest had the bread bowl and was elated that it was sourdough, her favorite.We are looking forward to coming here again, to the different offerings here.We will also be back for that cheesecake. It looks amazing.

There is nothing special about the food, and I was a bit disappointed by how bland the fish, chips, and even sauces are.
