Everything just seemed to be in disarray. The bathrooms were completely unstocked. The paper towel dispenser broken. The food was ok. I got the Colcanon which honestly should just be advertised as breakfast for dinner. My partner got the bangers and mash which was banging (in a good way) but I feel like that's pretty hard to mess up. We were given plastic utensils due to a silverware shortage. Idk. Maybe I'm expecting too much or maybe I'm just expecting the bare minimum since this ain't a dive bar after all....

If you're in the mood for a basic place where they do everything right, you can probably round up a star. In long This has been at least one other sports bar, and you might be surprised how big it is inside. There's a decent amount of parking, and a ton of reliable places to eat also surround this lot. I came in to check out Husky hoops yesterday afternoon, which nobody around here was showing since it was on a streaming platform. The place was empty when I showed up 'cause it was way between lunch and dinner, so I got to chat with the cool bartender a bit. She had already scoured their channel guides to see which local teams she'd be able to show, so we shared a cheerful grumble about how you can't just get one subscription to cable anymore and see all your teams' games. I didn't get the sense she was a sports dork like me, so she was doing this so she could do a good job at work. I like that!@ This place from the outside looks like it might seat about 25, but the reality is that it's several times that big. Dozen pool tables scattered around, plenty of room for everybody to line up shots. Couple dozen TVs. Huge horseshoe-shaped bar going from the middle of room to the back corner, lots of stools. You can see a few nice choices for spirits here and there. Full bar for sure. Beers are a little on the industrial side, probably no wines. She mixed a decent old-fashioned for me, but asked multiple questions about how I liked it. I really loved how detailed she was with everything--which games are on, which drinks they have, how to make them, how they serve their food. She didn't seem like the owner (I don't think) but she knew the whole place like the back of her hand. I had a prime rib dip, which was just the sandwich you want when you can have a little cheat. Good chewy onion rings that didn't pull apart after one bite--you get batter and onion, both, every time. Jus was good, meat was tender, bread had a nice chew to it. The chef puts his name on at least one dish, and the bartender went on about how much scratch cooking he does. I asked if she recommended something specific, and she rattled off half the menu. This is definitely a place where you can happily eat during the game. I was out the door with a meal and a drink for under $30, which is an amazing value these days.

This review is only for their wings - I haven't tried any other food / deals they offer…read more I come at least once every two months on a Thursday for their $1.25 / wings! The wings are very meaty, and plump - nothing like Wingstop. It's ruined almost every wing restaurant / chain for me. They require a minimum of 8 wings per flavor, so if you come with a big group you can mix and match flavors easily. My top two flavors: hot (buffalo) and the dry rub lemon pepper. Service is alright. You seat your self (if there is a table open). On busy days, you just fight for a table. I wish they implemented some form of queue or paper on which party is next. Tables just get wiped down with a rag. But the price / quality for the wings makes me come back every time.

I ordered the Reuben with onion rings and was blown away by the flavor of both the sandwich and the rings. I'll say without hesitation they were both the best I've had. We've been back several times, I always look at the menu wanting to try something else, but end up ordering the same thing because it's so good.

The Fish Po' Boy was perfectly deep-fried--crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside. The tartar sauce was hands down the best I've ever had! They served it on the side instead of on the sandwich, which turned out to be perfect because we dunked every bite. It was so fresh, full of dill flavor, and absolutely delicious. The Bánh Mì had an amazing smoky flavor, and they even served it with a side of au jus for dipping, which was fantastic. Every dipping sauce we tried deserved five stars--the honey mustard, the burger sauce, and that incredible tartar sauce. What really sets this place apart is the kids' play area. It's huge and thoughtfully designed with video games, Pac-Man, a train table, and plenty of space for kids to play. It kept our kids happily entertained so we could actually relax and enjoy our meal, which is rare! If you're in the Lake Stevens area, this place is definitely worth a visit. Great food, amazing sauces, and one of the best family-friendly dining experiences we've had. We will absolutely be back!

I think they are still figuring it out, but still one of the best things to go in that location for a long time. My recommendations: 1. Do a smoked meat platter. You got the smoker, and people will want to order sides. 2. More german bier. 3. Beer punch cards. Every 15th beer is free for loyal customers. 4. Crispy chicken Cesar Salad. 5. Bring back the house made potato chips.

Rhelynn, our server, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, checked in at all the right moments, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and very enjoyable. The custom cocktails were a standout. Becca clearly knows her craft--each drink was well‑balanced, creative, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there's real attention to detail and pride behind the bar. If you're on the fence about trying something custom, absolutely do it--you won't be disappointed. The food paired perfectly with the cocktails and rounded out a great overall experience. Between the quality of the drinks, the solid food, and the excellent service, Bluewater Distillery delivered across the board. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to friends--especially if Rhelynn and Becca are working.

Girls lunch on a sunny day! We were there early on a slow Sunday, party of 3 for the patio. We…read moreasked if we could move the table a bit into the sun (an open spot 3' over) but were told no, which, ok its a big ask with a clunky umbrella attached to the table I get it... the large picnic table that was in the sun was also off limits for larger parties (which I also get). Anywho, tacos were ok, a little dry and light on the fillings. Clams were standard steamed in white wine, and good. I tried the 'Hot Shot' cilantro and jalapeño vodka cocktail which was ok - neither flavor (or spice) came through very much, if at all. I should've ordered a flight! Back to my crushed dreams of a patio-lunch-in-the-sun... a party of 4 was seated at the large picnic table (1 body more than us, and both parties couldve split the table its that spacious), AND they pulled a table from the other side of the patio and put it in the sunny spot we asked to sit in towards the end of our time there. As a service industry person myself, I wouldnt be so quick to offer an inside table instead of being minutely inconvenienced (we offered to move the table ourselves as well to be helpful), with a couple of 2-tops outside and 2 inside - they were not busy. Overall, not earth shattering, but neither was the food or drinks in comparison to the experience and bill sadly.

Happy Hour Mon-Fri from 4pm-7pm on drinks only. My wife and I stopped into Player's for lunch during the week after doing a bit of shopping at Costco. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. It's evident that the clientele are regulars. During our visit, the bartender was also the cook. Orders are placed at the bar. Indoors is spacious with several tables scattered about. For entertainment, Player's offers pool tables, pool tabs, darts, fooseball and TV's. All day on Tuesday's, soft or crunchy beef tacos or carne asada street tacos with cilantro are $2 each. My wife had a couple pints of Bud Light for $4.75 each. I had a couple pints of Bodhi IPA for $5.75 each. Our beers were ice cold and filled to the rim. We each ordered one crunchy and one soft (fajita size) ground beef taco for $2 each. The tacos were stuffed with seasoned taco meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Filling and tasty. Overall, Player's is a decent bar for the surrounding area. Due to the type of bar that this is, top-notch customer service shouldn't be expected. Have a seat and enjoy a cold brew while waiting on food orders. Witnessing the amount of people at lunch during the week, I can only assume this bar gets packed in the evenings and weekends. My wife and I both enjoy bars such as Player's and look forward to returning in the future.

The only downside of my exlerience there was the other patrons there for the tournement, never have I seen a more wretched hive of scum and villiany.
