Guidebook for Seattle
Food Scene
How do you write a review on one of your favorite places in the world? Vinyl records and diner breakfast at the same place? It can't be real. But it is!
Always a line in weekends so if you're not an early bird, be prepared to wait a while for a table. No problem for me as I get a chance to go record shopping.
The music playing is always fun and often a local band. I highly recommend following Easy Street in Facebook so you can get notifications of live performance.
The food is great too.

Carnivores "love" this "king-of-meats" trio for its "amazing" "cuts of beef" in "healthy portions" at what fans deem "half the price" of some other steakhouses plus "none of the pretension"; "dark" interiors are brightened up a bit by "spot-on" service and "loud, lively crowds", and while a no-reservations policy can lead to some "killer" long lines, most are "willing to wait."

"A little bit of Paris" awaits at these "true French" bakeries featuring "divine" breads, croissants, sandwiches and other "heavenly" treats that "taste just as good as they look"; the "quaint" counter-serve quarters fill up quickly – especially during prime breakfast and lunch hours – but though the "waits can be ugly", "the food makes it all worthwhile."

West Seattle's "sassiest" sushi joint gets environmental props for matching "sustainable fish" with other "high-quality ingredients" in "creative", "tasty" (and "pricey") combos that'll "blow you away"; in the "arty" (some say slightly "out-of-date") room, the "savvy" staff happily recommends favorite rolls and cooked dishes, but purists opt for chef-owner Hajime Sato's "meal-of-your-life" omakase menu.

A “shortcut to Italy”, this “quaint” West Seattle “hideaway” prepares “delectable” old-world dishes “with love and care” in a “romantic” cottage with Puget Sound views from its garden patio; the “cozy” space “gets packed quick”, but regulars “don’t seem to mind the wait” since they’re treated “like family.”

The "awesome" namesake fried chicken in "huge" portions is "not to be missed", but "brunch is also wonderful" at chef-owner Mark Fuller's Hawaiian-influenced reinvention of his erstwhile Spring Hill in West Seattle; an expanded bar stocked with dozens of the eponymous spirit adds to the more casual new feel.

A "mouthwatering" mix of Hawaiian and Korean fare (think kalbi beef tacos and kimchi rice bowls) elicits "OMG"s at these "inexpensive" food-truck-turned-cafes where the "food comes fast" and is "served with a smile". Marination Ma Kai at the Seacrest Park's water taxi dock adds breakfast service and a full bar and the truck still serves seasonally – check the website for dates and locations.

Best bottle shop in Seattle in my opinion,
Pros: over 1000 beers, lots of single 12oz beer choices, around 50 beers on tap.
Cons: busy on Friday and Saturday nights, not a lot of seating/standing room, tap quality has dropped a little in the last year

This place is awesome- great food and atmosphere. Can't say enough about it. Everything even down to the cheese plate tastes made with care. If it's not busy their patio out back is quite lovely and a nice place to have a couple beers.

Such a great new-ish West Seattle spot. Solid number of beers on tap, for tasting or growler fills. Also have bottles for a make-your-own six pack and regular six packs. Employees were very nice and helpful. Tastings are a dollar which is unusual but I'm glad to help them stay in business by doing so! They've got wine as well, and beer accessories for sale like growlers and glasses.

This is my top choice for drinks and a bite in West Seattle. They have good happy hour prices, with a wide variety of excellent food for the price, interesting decently priced cocktails, as well as a decent variety of good beers on tap. To top it off, they have an interesting space with comfy booths for deeper conversations, taller stools at small round tables for the quick drinks and talk on busier nights, an average sized bar and small space for outdoor seating.
