Petoskey's featuring Hog Island Hoagie — Restaurant in Seattle

I was on the search for a place where I could prop up, eat a good meal, perhaps chat with the bar-keep (though that’s not a must have) and not break the bank.

This isn’t that place.

The bartender, we’ll call him G, was more interested in sitting at the bar while on his phone. He was nice enough, but there was zero effort.

I ordered an app. The Fried Pickle Chips $12. I watched as the line cook put it in the window. G sat not 3 feet away. I watched as my app lay dying on the pass. 3, maybe 4 minutes go by until the line cook finally gets G’s attention. Thanks BOH. It would still be sitting there were it not for you.

I shook my head in disbelief. I asked for my check while snacking on an incredibly overpriced app. It was worth $6 at best, as it was terribly salty, and the ranch lack flavor.

I was going to order a lunch item, but after witnessing that, I just couldn’t. I work hard for my money. If you’re going to charge a premium, then we should receive premium service and food.

I will not be back. Based on their reviews, they clearly have a following. I’m just not seeing the appeal. Try it out, but have zero expectations. Hopefully you all will have a...

I've been twice so far, one time I had great food, the other I had bad food. The first time I split pizza, wings, and tater tot hot dish and they were great pub food - salty, fatty, cheesy, delicious. The second time I stopped to get a burger on my way home (usually the safest choice on a menu) and it was really not great. On the good side, the curly fries were perfect, the burger was huge, and it was cooked rare (actually a little too rare for my taste but burgers are so often overcooked). However, the coleslaw tasted foul, and the burger, despite being rare, was the toughest I've ever had by a large margin. I don't even know how that is possible. To top it off the bun was burnt and tough. The restaurant was slow so a burnt bun really isn't forgivable. It just shows that the kitchen staff didn't care. I really want to like this place cause I really like the style and menu and I miss the old north Midwest joint that was in Ballard. Gonna give it another shot but definitely not...

Wow! Went to play poker there and wanted to grab something to eat. Amazingly, they have a wood fire oven for making pizzas! Cool! I was going to order a pizza but saw that they had Italian beef sandwiches! OMG! I have only seen these on Tik-Tok, so I ordered one. It was wonderful. I was very pleased. Next time I will order a pizza if the Italian beef sandwich was any indication of their food.

Additionally, the customer service was spot on. I felt welcomed and respected, which makes me want to comeback, which I will. This place is a must visit!

In closing, Petoskey's is in the Fremont area and it's nice. No druggies, no one begging for change...etc...I saw families, individuals and groups having fun. What a wonderful place!

Like I said, I will be going back to Petoskey's, not for the poker but...
