Elliott Bay Brewing - Lake City — Restaurant in Seattle

WOW! Loved it and OH So, Soo, SOOO plan to love it ...... AGAIN! Can hardly believe I moved here to Lake City 4 Months ago and this place NEVER, showed up on my internet grid, What the BLANK is up with that, Google!?? My boyfriend and I were just coming back home from a day out and did not want to cook. Oh so glad we stopped to pick up an item from a pharmacy store and saw this place. He had their Root Beer float and well if you don't drink alcoholic drinks this will explain after tasting one, why you do not need one... One word.... Awesome!!!! (Okay I had to taste it!) I however ordered one of their IPA'S (not driving and OH, so glad 😜). Very nice and hoppy and packed a punch. Hmmmm only had one, awe so yummy but oh so uh... punchy!!!! Just love a good BrewMaster, Thanks! Oh the food, is NOT an after thought here just getting to the GOOD stuff and let me tell you, IT WAS! I can hardly wait to go back.... Their menu is versatile, we shared two plates and we did this at the bar. Our server had our plates separated, just cause we mentioned we were first timers and ❤ sharing! So shout out to 💘 Samuel (sorry if I need a spell check here) but man, you are AWESOME! Samuel, you were fun and helpful and right on target when you helped us order. THANKS! For those that need to check this place out, we shared their Elk burger and their Rueben and I honestly can not tell you which one I liked better! Superb food! Plus the atmosphere is fantastic as well! If you live anywhere in the Seattle area this place is a MUST EAT! Oh and I saw families dining here so, very kid friendly but even for a date night, we did not notice any distractions in that regard. I am so looking forward to my next meal there.Hope I see you there, if not, well you are SOooo...

I met my family here today as a tradition. They come from Seattle and I come from Everett. I arrived about 20 mins before them sat and waited. I was asked a couple of times if I wanted a drink while I wait but I was good. There was a Kids birthday party going in a room and most seemed to have their food already. Once my siblings got there a different waiter came up after a long wait and said he could get us drinks but no food! The kitchen couldn't keep up with orders there was too many people. WHAT? We asked when they might be able to order our food, the server (if you can call him that) said I don't know maybe 20 mins he said you can sit here and get buzzed? We said we would order 2 coffee, 1 tea and 1 water. My brother then asked if we could put in our orders so that when they were accepting order again our orders would be in. He said no and it might take more than 20 mins so if we were anxious about the time maybe we could go somewhere else????? After a wait again he brought the drinks 1 at a time when he got to the water he said oh you wanted a water by that time my sister law was upset and said never mind. New people were showing up to the party and they were in taking their orders??? THIS PLACE WAS NO WHERE NEAR FULL. Anyway he came by again and I made a comment about him not bringing water and he blew up screaming she said she didn't want one, then walked away. The people sitting next to us saw and heard this and they were so amazed they were apologizing for them. It was Horrible experience and we were not rude or anything. WE walked out and We will...

This place is Great! Excellent food, drink, service, and prices.

Drink: Ordered a coffee nitro stout, I'm not a beer drinker but I do have one on occasion and was not disappointed. It was rich, yet not bitter.

Food: Ordered the Dip which is so easily screwed up by most places, but NOT these guys! pastrami, pickle, horseradish (freshly made), cheese on a fresh bun. The Aju sauce (Made in house) was rich and bold as it should be. Nothing from a Can here!

One Con: Stay away from the clam chowder. They are putting some sore of hipster dill in it and it's the only bad thing I have had here. A lot of places seem to be doing this and they seriously need to stop.

Prices: Food ~$10.50+ Drink (in house made craft beers) ~$3.50+

Parking: The lot can be busy but the parking is free and there is additional parking around the area. Free parking is always a big + in Seattle.

Honestly the prices for Seattle are food and drink are low, if this place was in a better neighbor they could charge more. Since this location is just off Lake City Way which is going through gentrification. The crowed is a mix of young tech people and what I would call your standard Seattle Family with kids. It's a good mix and I am sure they seem a lot of business because it can cater to both crowds.

The service was quick and friendly. These guys know how to run a busy restaurant.

The only comment I would say to be mindful of is this place is a brewery and thus is designed to be...
