My friend and I visited for our first time and had such a wonderful experience, thanks in large part to Allan, our server. My childhood friend was visiting from Arizona, and since we're both originally from there (though I live in Washington now), it was especially nice how Allan connected with us in a way that felt warm and familiar. He was personable, funny, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the start. The food was just as impressive. Everything we ordered was so good--from the appetizer to our entrées, and especially the dessert. The crème brûlée was perfectly done and easily one of the highlights of the night. You can tell care goes into both the food and the overall experience. He also gave us excellent recommendations for both an appetizer and desserts, and both were absolutely worth it. Great service really can shape a dining experience, and Allan made this first visit memorable in the best way. Safe to say this is officially our spot whenever she's in town -- we'll definitely be back. read more

If you haven't been to 13 Coins in Pioneer Square, stop what you're doing and go -- especially if you have a special night planned. We stopped in before a concert at Benaroya Hall and it was the perfect way to kick off the evening. My son and I both ordered the steak, and I'm not exaggerating when I say he declared it the best steak he's ever had. High praise from a college kid who's eaten his share of meals, and honestly, I couldn't argue with him. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor -- exactly what a steakhouse experience should be. My wife went with the chicken parmesan and was absolutely delighted. Rich, satisfying, and done right -- not the soggy, over-sauced version you sometimes get, but a genuinely well-executed dish that left her smiling. The atmosphere at 13 Coins is something else entirely -- that iconic Seattle supper club vibe with the big swivel chairs at the counter and the open kitchen. It feels like stepping into another era, in the best possible way. The service matched the surroundings: attentive, warm, and unhurried even when you're on a timeline. Love watching the kitchen staff hustling to get the meals out. We made our curtain call at Benaroya Hall with full hearts and even fuller stomachs. 13 Coins, you've earned a permanent spot in our Seattle rotation. Don't change a thing. read more

I attended a Yelp event at 13 Coins and what a memorable time! Located in Pioneer Square, hugged on a corner between Lumen Field and Embassy Suites, this gives it a wonderful location in a beautiful brick building. You walk in to a low lit, warm vibe. The servers were friendly. There's street parking available and we had no issue finding a spot at 5pm. Now what do they offer? They're known for their swiveling captain's chairs and all day breakfast! At our event, we tried their chicken & waffles, quiche, and mimosa. What a treat! Im still dreaming about the breading and flavor of their chicken - and I'm from the south so those are my credentials ;) We also tried their chicken parm sandwich and steak bites. The chicken parm sandwich was my husband and my favorite bite of the night. Again, the breading of this chicken was delicious. They ended the night with a chocolate mousse that was decadent. We can't wait to return and venture our way through the rest of the menu. Thanks Yelp & 13 Coins for hosting us. read more

I came here for the Elite event sponsored by Yelp, and I gotta say that I've been missing out. I've been coming to various different restaurants near the stadium area for years, and never bothered to check out 13 coins, and it's a huge mistake. First, the various bite sized food we got to try out was great. The Chicken and Waffle in particular stood out to me. You'd think it'd be a diner food menu, and not appropriate for the upscale venue that 13 coins is. However, the spicy syrup that it comes with plus very lightly fried layer of the chicken worked so well. The chicken parm, the frittata, and all the drinks were all fantastic, Second, the ambiance in the place is great too. I'd say it's a place to impress someone when you're going to an event at the stadium. The cozy interior with the cushioned booths and the low lamp lighting stands out as you walk around the place, and it's hard not to imagine that you are in some swanky speakeasy in a movie set. Strongly recommend. Finally, the service was great, but I was there for a catered event. So I'm not sure how representative my experience is for the normal visitors. However, all the staff seemed like the usual staff members at the restaurant and they were all above and beyond nice. Taking the time to explain each menu items was pleasant. Their efforts to let you know when more sampling plates were ready also showed their care. All in all, an amazing experience. Strongly recommend if you're trying to impress family members or a loved one, when you're nearby! read more

I went to an event at 13 coins and I had an experience that seemed to be both sides of the coin. I got to the event early and hung out in the lounge/bar until my wife arrived and the event started. It was a bit surreal sitting with Lumen Field Stadium lit up in the background. The bar had some regulars chatting and laughing, but this is Pioneer Square and let's say the area did create an interesting interaction inside the restaurant. When my lovely wife arrived we made our way downstairs to their event area. This is definitely the other side of the coin. The staff were incredible and attentive. I tried some of the small bites, and they were delicious. Im definitely not one to mix sweet food and savory food...but... the chicken was aggressively seasoned and I loved it. The waffle was delicious... I just can't eat them together. The frutatta was good. The chicken parmesan was really good, I had 2. The beef bite was delicious as well, my wife loved the sauce. Oh.. the small plate with the olives was a nice fresh break. We ended with a good chocolate mousse. Thank you 13 coins for a fun night with great service and atmosphere. The food made me want to come back for all the amazing flavors. My favorite was the chicken and waffle...eaten separately of course. read more

It's been a few years since the last time we were here, but I wanted to come back to try the antipasto martini (it was fine, but I wouldn't make a special trip again). I got the French onion soup and chicken parm and my bf got the veggie frittata. Everything was SO SALTY, the chicken was overcooked, and we never got water refills even though our server checked on us every 5 mins. I think we were her only table. We didn't tell her anything was wrong because she seemed new (not just to this restaurant, but to serving in general), and we were afraid any complaint would end up causing more trouble than it was worth. My soup and entree were brought at the exact same time, so that was our first clue. The decor is super cool. The downstairs bar seems like it would probably be more our vibe, but it wasn't open - it might just be for game days or something. But I think we'd limit ourselves to cocktails from now on, regardless. The food has missed the mark both times we've been, and it's well over $100 for 2 people with tip, so kind of an expensive failed experiment. read more

If you read these reviews, institutional racism is alive and well here at this restaurant. Even though the "Hostess" observed us from afar, she did not bother to approach and seat us. Instead, after approximately 5 minutes, we seated ourselves, this, of course, pissed off the Hostess with the leastness, and the bitch went ahead & told the waitress to give us poor service, which we received in plenty. Appetizer served AFTER the entrée (So I sent it back). I also had to ask for coffee thrice, etc. The food, however, was good, therefore I part with one star. Too many better options within a half mile, never again here. read more

Food here is constantly good! I've been 3 times over the past 2 weeks. I love the fact that it's open late too for Seattle (open until 1am). It's like very very upscale diner vibes. If you come in after 12pm however, they will rush you out to eat and finish your meal by 1am closing time read more

13 Coins is one of those classic Seattle spots that never disappoints. The service is consistently great friendly, attentive, and fast whether it's a busy night or a casual afternoon. The food is solid across the board, with big portions and reliable flavor that makes it easy to find something for everyone. What really makes this place stand out is the environment and (it's super close to my place) . It's perfect for family dinners, hanging out with friends on Seattle game days, or bringing out-of-town visitors who want that "Seattle staple" experience. The vibe is warm, lively, and welcoming without ever feeling overwhelming. read more

I'm up with an extra side of biscuits. Service was super attentive, and when I was asked if I wanted hot sauce for my eggs.The waiter brought it out unscrewed the top and laid it down on the table beside me. That was the extra mile for me, really simple.But extremely well appreciated. Portions were huge and I took home half. The biscuits were crispy and flakely and just hit the spot for what I wanted today. All the seats are high, back and cushioned totally a great experience for sitting. read more

Came here for Thanksgiving dinner while on a break from work. Was hoping to get in and out within about an hour (3pm). But unfortunately it was very busy even at that time of day. I ordered the $69 Thanksgiving dinner, my wife ordered the Shrimp Scampi. Our original server was injured so she had to excuse herself from serving us and handed us off to a coworker. We placed our order with him and didn't see him again for an hour. After an hour I got my salad. Then about 10 minutes later we got our food. I had been sitting there watching other who got the Thanksgiving dinner, they got three large turkey "steaks" I would call them, with a nice helping of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing. Mine came out with the turkey all cut up into little bite sized chunks like I was a child and mixed in with the stuffing and potatoes. No cranberry sauce at all. I'm guessing they were running out, so they had to alter things, but I felt ripped off since I was paying the same price as everyone else. And the final nail in the coffin, it was stone cold. Nothing was even warm. But I do have to give it to them it tasted fantastic! My wife's shrimp scampi came out hot and fresh and she said it was really good. Overall it wasn't a great experience, taking us over 2 hours to eat. But I'm willing to give it another try on not such a busy day since the food tasted really good. read more

I wanted a waffle and 13 Coins delivered! Best waffle ever! Sometimes I'll get a waffle and it's tasteless or mushy in the middle. 13 Coins makes perfectly crispy waffles with great taste! I had the fresh berry waffle with whipped cream. Husband had a wagu burger and my brother ordered the prime rib dip. We were all very happy with our orders. Our waiter was very friendly. We had a nice conversation about waffles and how much better tasting they are at 13 Coins over every other place. He thanked me for complimenting their waffles. We will definitely return! read more

I have been going to 13 Coins since I was a child. I came here on Christmas Day this time. They were really busy but able to get a seat at the bar. Service was to be expected slow I had ordered an ice tea that never came until I asked about it when they brought my salad. Salad was good. It's more about the ambience for me. I think the best spot is at the bar. Service was hot and cold. Friendly to standoffish. But better than the last time I was there with friends. read more

Love the ambiance of this location- we usually sit at the bar & Oscar takes excellent care of us. We do love the patio in the summer as well. The three of us got a few menu items to share after we got our drinks; martinis & tequila soda with an orange slice. We got the meatballs- so delicious & we got complimentary bread to mop up all of the delicious sauce. We also got the wings- so meaty & crispy & the brussel sprouts & the coconut prawns- everything was really delicious & so much food we had to take the wings home. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

This is a classic establishment I've been frequenting for many years, high quality food you can get 24 hours a day! Yet to dine at the Bellevue location, I can say the Seattle and SeaTac locations are perfect. Dark, comfortable dining areas provide the right "vibe" any time of day. The bucket of clams is a must to start your meal. The team always provides great service and ensures return visits. read more

I got eggs benedict and the English muffins were soggy. The service was not great. The bacon is huge and undercooked.

Sat for 23 minutes and was only greeted with a menu after 10 minutes. I even waited around in hopes of a water and it was never brought to the table. Sadly, I left to get food elsewhere. read more

We've had good food here before, but apparently today the kitchen decided to try performance art instead of cooking. First up, the "Crispy" Brussels Sprouts. Spoiler: they weren't crispy. They were crunchy... because they were raw. Just barely warmed and drowned in some mystery teriyaki-ish sauce. We asked for bacon--got none. Maybe the chef was saving it for someone special? Then came the Pasta Verdura, which is supposedly pasta with vegetables. Apparently the kitchen interprets that as pasta with one or two vegetables that accidentally fell in on the way to the plate. Maybe 5% veggies, tops, and no sauce to speak of. Just dry noodles and disappointment. Honestly, if it weren't for the stiff drinks, we would have walked out. read more

The server was very attentive, first and foremost. The Wagyu beef burger that I had was pretty good, but it was not cooked how I asked for it, not a big deal, though it still tasted right. The broccolini that we had was probably my favorite dish because they didn't cook the heck out of it so it was nice and crunchy with a nice garlic flavor. My wife had pasta with scallops and shrimp and she loved it. I will say the only thing that I don't like is that this place is quite expensive for just decent food. I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that's extremely high-quality. The other thing that kind of bothers me is that they play top 40 Music Way too loud for my liking and more TVs than I ever need to look at. But, like I said, the server was excellent, and the food was all right. read more

First visit at this location. It was a Game Day so they were very busy. We were seated downstairs. It is louder than i expected. Food and drinks were great. Bar is expansive downstairs. Wagyu burger is good. So if you like a good burger that would be your go too. It is good for groups! We had 4 in our group after a pre-season football game at Lumen Field. It is very busy there and I can see why, good food, drinks and ambiance. Love 13 Coins. read more

So thankful I got to be a +1 to this media event & had the opportunity to sample their new Happy Hour menu. All of the food items were great but the 2 standouts for me were the tuna & steak bites. The service and staff were very friendly & on top of things bringing around samples for us all too try & interacting with the crowd. I also got to meet the owner & his daughter who were also very kind & gracious with their time. The ambiance was really cool with a live entertainer & the outdoor seating area which made it seem personal but upscale festival like. The new drinks were also very good, colorful & refreshing. read more

The food was good, the vibes in there were very cool. My complaint is they let people camp out at the booths. When there are people brining in their suit cases clearly killing time before they can check in to the hotel and taking up the limited booths 13 coins has, that's a problem. We walked in at 11:30 for lunch and requested a booth. The host informed me we would have to wait b/c none of them were open and he couldn't guess how long it would be until a booth opened up. We had to wait for 30 minutes for a booth to open up from a couple legitimately having food and then we walk past booth after booth with suitcases next to it and with people just sitting there sipping a coffee or a water. Then the same people were still just sitting there with a coffee and a water after we sat, ordered, ate, paid and left... that's a problem. I have no clue, not one, why the general manager would allow that to happen. The owners are probably more concerned with booth turn over and generating revenue then letting someone camp out especially during the lunch hour rush. I saw probably 3 parties turn away at the door b/c they didn't want to sit at a bar and didn't want to wait for an undisclosed amount of time. I was shocked. It is also very rude of those people to do that. I get it, you need a place to go kill time, go find a lounge or a bar, not a restaurant. Table camping in a booth at a restaurant just shows a lack of self-awareness and self-centeredness. read more

We ate here 2 years ago 2023 and the service and food was okay- we decided to give it another try 2025, we were concerned at first because it was so busy but honestly if you have a little patience you won't be disappointed. We had the same exact thing- Rubin sandwich with fries and berry waffle, I believe Chuck was our waiter & he was so friendly despite obviously working so hard to keep up with the amount of tables he was responsible for. The waffle was perfectly tender with crispy edges fresh strawberries & real whipped cream, the Ruben sandwich had a generous portion of cornedbeef & hot crispy fries. read more

I have been coming to 13 coins for over 30 years! This was my first time at this location. Located next to both stadiums so that's a plus after a game. They quoted us a 45 minute wait time but we got seated in 15 minutes another plus. Staff was attentive and very nice! Appetizer of the steamed clams in pesto broth 9/10 it tasted great just wish there was more clams. I love how they give the free veggie munchie tray with bread 10/10. My husband got the steak David with filet mignon top with crab and hollandaise sauce, the steak was cooked to perfection so tender and full of flavor 10/10. I usually always order the "Believer" which is chicken parmesan in cream sauce with spaghetti, it's been consistent for years. This time though they must have changed things because it was quite different then it used to be. The chicken portion is way smaller than it used to be and not as thin. The chicken wasn't too tender and quite hard to cut with a steak knife. The cream sauce lacked flavor and they serve it now with grilled veggies which it never used to have. Honestly it was sad they changed the recipe, it's not even called the "believer" anymore. Wish I would have ordered something else 5/10. My children's meals were large and tasty though! My daughter's Mac and cheese was homemade and came with a large platter of fresh fruit, which was great! I just feel like some of the quality has gone down. I also remember they used to make their own cheesecake in house and it was the most amazing cheesecake I'd ever eaten, well they don't do that anymore, they get it from somewhere else. With so many food options and restaurant competition in Seattle we probably will go somewhere else next time. read more

We went to 13 Coins on a Sunday evening and were seated quickly at the seats facing the kitchen, which we thoroughly enjoyed (though they do get very warm if you're facing the cooktops!). Tyler was our server and he was a delight! Attentive, friendly, funny, and had excellent food recommendations. Would definitely recommend sitting in his section :) The food and drinks were delicious - we both had cocktails and they are always good at 13 Coins. I had the french toast which came with really good bacon, and my husband had the veal parm which he said was delicious. We had the carrot cake for dessert (Tyler's recommendation) and it was amazing. Super light and very flavorful. read more

We go here for breakfast every home Seahawks home football game, and we were happy until this 2025 season. The food is getting worse and worse. Our food, on Sunday, was not made to order, in fact only two of the entrées were served to order. All of the plates of food were served COLD, very disappointing from this Seattle iconic restaurant. Our server was embarrassed that the kitchen was not making the food to order. We had our breakfast downstairs at 9am, the restaurant was not very busy yet. read more

My husband and I ate dinner here when we stayed in Seattle for a Seahawks playoff game. The atmosphere was wonderful.
