Great Spot with TVs and Pool
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a little spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have one pool table and several TVs to watch, which adds to the great atmosphere. The service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect 5/5 rating, making for a truly enjoyable visit.

Yummy Fish & Chips, Great Atmosphere!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The atmosphere was positive and the music was great. I had the fish & chips, which were so yummy with good tartar sauce and waffle fries. They were not greasy at all! 😁

Thirsty Fish: Friends, Family, and Great Food!
My experience at Thirsty Fish has been exceptional, earning them more than 5 stars. Since relocating to Seattle from the Southeast, they have become like friends and family away from home. The food is great, and it's one of the few places nearby offering draught Guinness. We've shared many memorable moments here, including watching big games and celebrating birthdays. Chances are, if you visit, you'll see me there!

Great Local Spot with Awesome Staff!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great local spot with a quality menu and awesome staff. I particularly enjoyed the Baja Burger, which was sooo good and dairy-free. It's wonderful to have such a convenient spot so close to home! (Please double-check for allergies as things can change.)

Cute spot with good eats, parking challenge
My experience at this cute, little hipster spot in the Northend was marked by good eats & drinks. It's important to note that you should order at the bar as they won't always come to your table to check on you. Additionally, parking is a challenge.

Thirsty Fish: A Crown Hill Favorite
My experience at Thirsty Fish has been consistently positive, as it's been a long-time favorite in the Crown Hill neighborhood. I first visited when it opened and had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Louie, who is great. The bartender has also been there since the beginning, and all the staff are lovely people! They offer a fun mug club with mugs displayed throughout the bar area. The food is good, with no disappointments. It's a great place to watch games, and they even have a pool table in the back. The outdoor seating on a nice patio is a bonus, and you can even bring your pups. I highly recommend grabbing your friends and heading there!

Relaxing Deck Dinner with Service Hiccups
My experience was a nice relaxing dinner on the deck outside on a warm summer day. While the food was good and they were happy to make special adjustments to every dish, the service model of ordering at the counter and delivering to the table felt a bit inconvenient. It would be better to have full table service. My food was served quickly, but my drink wasn't made exactly as ordered. However, I was able to fix it myself when I went back to order a chaser. The atmosphere was great, contributing to a pleasant evening.

A New Favorite Spot!
This is our new go-to spot! It's a casual place with a bit of an "everybody knows your name" vibe. The guys who run the place are great and their chef is a freaking magician! They have everything from salad to burgers and it is all cooked to absolute perfection. Burgers? Perfect. Chicken? Fully cooked but still moist and tender. I'm very cautious of where I eat shell fish but you HAVE to try their honey walnut prawns. Just so you know I'm not biased, there was oooone time that the fish & chips was slightly over cooked (just a bit too crispy) but not bad enough to send it back. It was still yummy. :) Since finding this place we've taken friends and visiting family, and everyone has great things to say about it. Try them!
