Dempsey's Breakfast and Lunch — Restaurant in Everett

Dempsey’s Breakfast & Lunch: A Royal Feast (But Mind the Crown Jewels)

The Queen, The Prince, and this humble subject embarked on a noble quest for breakfast glory at Dempsey’s Breakfast & Lunch in Everett—a 4.4-starred kingdom according to Google’s loyal peasants. After a swift seven-minute chariot ride and a brief parking joust, we crossed the threshold… and wondered if we’d accidentally stumbled into a vintage diner instead of a top-rated eatery.

The floors whispered tales of meals past (perhaps in need of a knight with a mop), the ceiling tiles looked like they’d survived the Boston Tea Party, and the walls could’ve used a fresh coat of paint—or possibly an exorcism. But fear not! The service was swift and friendly, our waitress materialized like a breakfast fairy godmother, and the menu was a tome of endless possibilities. Fifteen omelet choices? A crepe fit for a sugar-crazed prince? The Queen and I nearly succumbed to decision paralysis.

When the food arrived, all doubts melted like butter on a hot pancake. The Western omelet was a golden masterpiece, the sausage crispier than a New England fall, and the Prince’s Nutella-stuffed crepes could’ve doubled as a dessert plate. Even The Queen’s bacon achieved peak crispness—no small feat for royalty.

Then came the scroll of doom (aka the bill). At $71 pre-tip, we briefly considered pawning The Prince’s crown to cover the cost. Was it delicious? Absolutely. Worth the treasure? Debatable. If you’re prepared to part with a few extra gold coins, Dempsey’s will treat you well—just don’t expect the ambiance to match the price tag.

Final Verdict: 4 stars for food, 2 for atmosphere, and 1.5 for your wallet’s survival chances. We’ll be back… once the royal...

I have now ordered from here twice on DoorDash even tho I should just call directly it’s easier with my card already attached lol and I’m lazy. Any way I live across the street and always see this place packed I also eat there a while ago maybe a few months ago and they were awesome so now I order the take out, there food is amazing I had to wait maybe 12-15 min after I put order in for my food which is very good. They’re very clean and they follow every rule with the mask wearing cause she asked me to pull my mask up which I liked I wasn’t thinking cause I was at the take out window out side but it made me know they’re very clean. The food omg is so good the eggs Beni the Irish one Mmmm so delicious. My girlfriend is obsessed with there smoothies the strawberry one. Omg snd I love chocolate milk snd restaurants never make it right hardly ever I swear they made it perfect idk if they hand make it or it’s already pre made but it’s so good not too chocolatie and not just milk with a tint of chocolate it’s perfect. This place seems like it’s a family environment they’re kind and patient and I just love it. This is my new breakfast spot idk why it took me over a year to try this place when I seriously live across the street snd go all the way into the city for breakfast. No more now I have to walk not even 100 feet. Thank you for your wonderful service I give you guys...

After finishing a fine breakfast I proceeded to pay in cash got my change back and then asked for change for a 20. I handed my money to one of the ladies working there and then the older lady next to her tells me “you have to hand her the money first” so then I proceed to explain I handed her the money and they both tried to say I never did I’m not sure if the older lady was in on it but the lady I handed the cash to was a heavy set lady and she kept trying to say I never gave her the money but I have all the proof in the world I used the atm and took out cash and if they have functioning cameras you can see I handed her all the money. And then when I told the lady can we check the cameras the heavy set lady said just give it to him it’s whatever. And I still gave a tip I’m very disappointed with someone trying to take advantage of a kid just trying to enjoy his breakfast...
