Tl;dr we were discriminated. Evidence was all tables were served with water, including parties seated right after us. Except us. After noticing that I had to talk to the middle age lady, who still initially refused to serve us water until I pointed out the fact we were discriminated. Then she reluctantly agreed but served us water in different containers literally unlike any other table. My conclusion of racial discrimination based on the fact we were the only Asian party in that restaurant at that time. Also I had to keep asking utensils and plates for my 5 years old because they just kept ignoring his existence. I would have walked away if it was just me but I was with friends so I didn't want to ruin the day so I stayed and finished the brunch. But will never visit it again and I want to warn other Asians read more

I can't believe I've lived a one minute walk from this place and haven't tried it yet. Today I tried the arugula, bacon egg and cheese. Called ahead to order- walked over and was home with my perfectly warm not soggy breakfast. I don't typically leave reviews - but a GOOD egg sandwich to this native new Englander is hard to come by. There's a light (garlic?) to the sandwich that I'm guessing is an oil. Perfect amount to add a nice flavor- but not so much that it over powers the fluffy eggs or ripe tomato. read more

Came here for a little breakfast, the food is amazing and all the workers and the service is spot on. They are quick to serve and they are hardworking , the vibe aka ambiance is really cute!

My first time in Seattle and we stayed in the Capitol Hill area, which is a great area filled with various food and bar places. Americana was one we just had to eat brunch at more than once! First off, the service was so great. Our server Lucy was the best! So kind and if she is your server she will give you great recommendations. I ordered the Americana Benedict both times I went because it was THAT good. Instead of the Hollandaise sauce they used a tomato/mushroom sauce that was soooo good, and I don't even like mushrooms haha My boyfriend got the Seattle slam and substituted for French toast, which was the best decision. Their French toast was delicious and just perfectly crunchy. They also have a lot of alcoholic brunch options so it won't disappoint. 10/10 read more

Ok food. Great service but place is dirty. Restroom is dirty. Not sure if food is clean.

Updating review because I had a better experience this time. The service was still very below average. For example they didn't bring us water until we explicitly asked for it. The food was good though and the sides are pretty big. You can just order a side and not an actual brunch item if you're not that hungry. read more

This place can get busy and have a bit of a wait. The food was good, service was decent. Three of us walked in while on a search for coffee. I had the pancakes with bacon and eggs, it was good, no complaints. My wife had the eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. She had ordered her eggs scrambled with cheese, but they forgot the cheese. The toast was very dry and hard, she couldn't eat that. My dad had the same thing as me and he also liked his. So, 2 out of 3 of us were satisfied. Overall: Good food, a little pricey. read more

I really liked their corned beef hash! I was expecting a typical brunch toast that comes on a side but no their sourdough toast is thick, fresh and perfectly lightly toasted. When i asked for side of ketchup the staff brought jam, hot sauce as well which was nice. It was really easy to find a table during noon on a weekend which is a huge plus. read more

We ordered the maple pork belly and the Americana Benedict. I thought that the Benedict was just alright--plenty on the plate, runny egg cooked to perfection, and fresh fruit slices as well. The maple pork belly was phenomenal! It was cooked with a nice outer crunch and juicy from the fatty cut. The cornmeal French toast had a pillowy bite. Would recommend! read more

Early Birthday Brunch I couldn't decide to get Maple Glazed Pork Belly or French toasts! So my friend and I got both so we can try it! I love the pork belly, it doesn't feel greasy or fat, it's crispy and seasoned well!! Meat are tender and fat are soft. Scramble eggs and the corn bread pancake is okay, not my favorite, but it's not bad. Pancakes are little tooo dry, and the spring onion came off easily which supposed to mix with eggs. French toast tasted amazing, I didn't expect it's that crispy and pears on top are really fresh and sweet!! But I don't think I will be able to finish the whole thing myself, it will be too sweet for me! Sucks that I forgot to bring my ID, if not I will order lavender mimosa, the waiter recommended that, so I will definitely go back!!!! Food: 9/10 Environment: 10/10 Service: 10/10 read more

This is a nice cute little restaurant.Best breakfast I've ever had, the pancakes of the day blew my mind into a different dimension.

So glad we found a sit-in restaurant here in Seattle. This was our first and only one on the trip due to the snowstorm and pandemic. People we're friendly and serviced us quickly. Food was delicious also - we opted for brunch. Ordered the Bacon, Egg, and Arugula sandwich and the Seattle Slam (upgraded for French Toast). read more

We came for Sunday brunch, and it was very packed. I really liked the charm of the interior. It had a cozy hole-in-the-wall, family-run vibe along super busy Broadway. I ordered a strawberry mimosa and an Americana Benedict with salmon instead of bacon since I'm mostly pescaterian. The strawberry mimosa didn't have much strawberry flavor. It just tasted like champagne to me. They charged me $6 extra for exchanging the bacon for salmon without telling me, but I probably should've asked. Overall, I thought the benedict was pretty good but definitely wouldn't pay the $20 total for it again. My boyfriend ordered the French Toast. He thought it was really good and fluffy but a little bit overpriced. I would go back again if I were in the area, didn't want to walk too far, and needed to find a brunch spot, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Always enjoy the vibe of this restaurant and the food! Great place to go solo or with a party of two. Not as many larger tables for 5+. Have went around 11 or 12 on Saturdays and each time I have been able to get a table for two without a wait. Food is fairly average priced for Seattle - anywhere from $10 to $20 a meal. Servers seem busy, but they always check in and make sure you have everything you need. They are not as hands on, but get the job done. East coast: Toast with eggs, salmon and onion on top with side of potatoes. Nothing too fancy about this dish, but it was great for a breakfast/brunch wake up. Avocado & pepper jack omelet: Pretty bland, so the hot sauce provided was needed for the dish. Came with toast and potatoes. French Toast: This was great! Loved the use of fruits in the French toast and would get again. They have options to add protein or extra things to the plate. Pancakes of the Day: Pretty basic pancakes with Nutella! Nothing too special, but the presentation was nice! read more

Brunch at Americana was great. I got the avocado and pepper jack omelet recently and I love how the omelet is so fluffy! It feels like I'm eating a soft cloud :) The roasted potatoes are just the perfect amount of crispy with a great seasoning. I got the strawberry mimosa and it was definitely unique to have a strawberry mimosa. My friend got the pineapple mimosa which was great as well. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of the champagne used. Don't know what it was but it did seemed like Cook's or one of the cheaper ones with the smell and taste :( read more

Plenty of bugs and bums outside. We ordered the French toast and the maple glazed pork belly. The French toast was very average and the server did not bring us any syrup so I had to awkwardly waddle over and ask someone behind the bar for a spot of syrup. The maple glazed pork belly was not as tender and juicy as I hoped for glazed meat. The scallion eggs and mozzarella pancakes made up for it though. Overall very okay. read more

I took my Mother here for brunch on a Sunday morning. We walked in a little after 9:15am and luckily got the last open table. The wait list quickly started to grow beyond that point. I ordered the French toast. A Must!! Americana have some voodoo magic in the kitchen because this was perfectly crispy and deliciously sweet on all sides while still soft and moist on the inside. The crisp outside even stood up to the syrup on top. They wouldn't share their secret with me....so I guess I'll just have to keep going back!! My mother ordered the herbed omelet; a great option as she avoids milk products. It came with ample goat cheese and well caramelized onions. The eggs were also seasoned beautifully. She was nice enough to share some with me. I might not have if I was in her shoes. Total breakfast bill for two people with coffee came out to just under $40. Not bad for a delicious Seattle brunch. The establishment is on the smaller size (only hosts about 40-50 dinners max) but you still have enough space in-between tables (especially in the space to the left of the bar) to not have to tell yourself to resist the urge to jump into the conversation next to you. After this visit, Americana has put itself on my short list for Brunch in Capitol Hill. read more

Mmmm I was super stuck between three and four stars on this one. Let's call it a 3.5. My best friend and I came to Americana on a Sunday - so I mean, you can already expect that brunch is about to be poppin'. We put on our name on the list and sat outside in the hall. We were told twenty minutes... We wait twenty minutes... And more time passes. We're told that we're almost there. And told we're almost there again. At this point I'm irritated - at seven months pregnant I have this cool thing where if I don't eat, I'm going to feel like I'm going to throw up. So as more time passes, the more nauseous I feel. So, being told we're "almost there" several times in a row when we clearly weren't was frustrating. We finally get seated and the hostess tells us she's going to move us in about five minutes. Then comes back and says never mind. She asked if we wanted anything else to drink and I said I can get coffee from the coffee bar (which was offered to us on free range while we were waiting) and she replies, "Nope. Once you're seated we serve you. If you want coffee I can get it for you," again, seemed a little brash and irritated me. Throughout our whole meal our waitress checked on us once, I think, and was never around when my best friend needed something and we had to flag down separate waiters to help us out. We finally get our food - both my best friend and I went with the Chicken Fried Steak and shared a side of the pancakes. The food was AMAZING. The sausage gravy that was on the chicken fried steak was SO good. The potatoes were a little too heavy on the rosemary (?) but still good. The pancakes were really tasty too - they had nice crispy edges, soft and fluffy everywhere else, and great flavor. I'm glad I tried them because they've been in my bookmarks for a long time - however I think it'll be a while before I come back because I have a ton more Seattle brunch spots to check out. ;) read more

Nice little brunch spot- very casual, almost has a diner vibe to it. Delicious food and incredible in-house hot sauces.

First time trying Americana. It's definitely a hole in the wall type place with a very large menu/variety of options. The coffee was great! I ordered the Avocado pepper jack omelette, it was just okay. There wasn't much flavor in the omelet at all, it was pretty plain tasting. The pico that it was dressed with did have a little kick to it which was good. I think the potatoes could've been cooked just another minute or two. My server was great, service was top notch and food came out quickly. read more

My friend suggested coming here after reviewing their french toast... She didn't like it because it came with a tiny amount of fruit, it looked like jam not even fresh fruit. My meal was good it was an omelette with potatoes. Everything was delicious on my plate, but the coffee was bad and cold. I wouldn't come back here again... this area is so bad. One person came up to us asking for our food and another walked by with shit stains on his pants. Rough area to try to have an outdoor breakfast at. :/ read more

Americana has been in my "bookmark list" and finally today we were able to come and eat. This restaurant is recommended by my son who tried this place a few times. We came around 9:30 a.m. and the tiny place is already packed and was told that the wait time could be half an hour or so. Good thing they serve their customers a complimentary bottomless coffee while we wait. We ordered 3 Maple Glazed Pork Belly with corn and mozzarella pancake which is so good and different, I love the crunch of the pancake, Americana Benedict (gluten free) Avocado and Pepper Jack Omelet (gluten free) and chopped salad. The sauce for the Benedict was not what I expected (creamy red sauce with mushroom) for me it tastes like spaghetti sauce. But overall we love it here, food is great and service is warm and friendly. Nice brunch experience! We will definitely come back. read more

A tip would be to get there before 9:30am or after noon on a Sunday. Other than a 45 minute wait, the food was very tasty! I ordered the Avocado and Pepper Jack Omelette. This was very filling and just the perfect amount of food. Usually I am hesitant on ordering foods with avocado because many restaurants skimp out on the avocado but I felt American put in the just the right portion! My friends and I enjoyed the service and the breakfast around the table. I docked a star because of the cleanliness of the cups, we had 2 cups that were gross with lipstick stains... read more

Americana is like that corner little restaurant that you have always wanted to have brunch at and wanted in your neighborhood. I had brunch there for the first time today and I loved it. The food and service were amazing! It was my first time eating there and my server was a really nice guy who explained the menu to us very clearly and took time to help us decide what to eat. We went in a Sunday for brunch and it is very popular for this on Sundays so be prepared to put your name on a list if you go during the weekend for brunch. For food, I had the chicken sausage scramble with toast and it was incredible! It was definitely one of the best brunches that I have had in a while. The food was very fresh as well and the menu has a lot of mixed and add ins for a very customizable menu. I enjoyed this a lot. They have really good mimosas and a lot of beverage options as well for brunch! The pricing was very reasonable, in my opinion, for the food and service that you get. The atmosphere is very casual and very laid back. I liked that. It was a very diverse environment of clientele as well. If you are looking for a good place to have brunch or a mimosa, I highly recommend it as you will have a lot of tasty options at Americana! read more

Popular place that's hard to find! They are right across from a Japanese restaurant and had some bubble tea signs out front when I went (marker for where the restaurant is) We waited for around 40 minutes (surprised I waited that long) and they don't seat you until your entire party is there. They do not do the "give us your phone number and we will call you/text when your table is ready" system so I would hang out close by. Crossroads in down the street so if you want to risk it, you can shop while you wait! The chairs inside are quiet high so I would not take anyone who might have a hard time climbing up. Our waiter was extremely nice and gave us enough time to decide on what we wanted to order. My mom and sister ordered a hot chocolate and an amaretto coffee. The coffee was around $10 which was kind of expensive to me and it was way too sweet. I ordered the pork belly frittata but they gave me the maple pork belly instead. We told them about the miscommunication and they were very cool about switching the plates! The frittata was amazing and they had a spicy green sauce that went great with the dish. I tried some of my moms Americana Benedict dish but it had hints of sweetness which I did not like. The maple pork belly, which my sister ordered, was also a mix of sweet and savory so I did not enjoy it as much (personal preference though!) Also, the hot chocolate was really thick and sweet--perfect on a cold day especially with whipped cream :) Just as an FYI, you get 3% off if you pay with cash!! read more

If you want to get robbed by a restaurant and have someone play in your face about it, come to Americana! To preface: my friends and I (5 total patrons) went here on a casual Sunday for brunch. We understand that sometimes there are off days/services in the restaurant business, and some bad meals you just have to chalk up to the game. After bad drinks, okay-ish food (aside from the hair in one person's potatoes) and a waiter having an extremely unnecessary attitude because I deigned to ask for sugar with my coffee, we were ready to pay our bill, brush it off, and laugh about the bad service later. Until this place decided to literally take money they were not owed, and play dumb the entire time. We asked for separate checks at the end of the meal, four checks total, and were brought one check with a $33 gratuity written (handwritten!) in. Weird that it's written in, but an auto-grat is nothing new. We asked again for checks to be broken up. At first, she says that this cannot be done, but we point to the bottom of the receipt where it says "Each additional card will be charged 50 cents." Weird thing to include if the request was actually impossible. The woman had SUCH an attitude about a plotting our checks, even though other tables had separate checks brought to them, but nevertheless ended up bringing the checks after another 20 minute (no exaggeration) wait. Now, we three of us have $8.40 tips handwritten into our bills, and our couple friends paying together had $16.80 written on theirs, regardless of how much we ordered. For me personally, this was $8.40 on a $26 tab. The person next to me also had $8.40 on a $40 tab. What's the math here? (For me, it turned out to be over a 30% tip.) So, our auto-grat went from $33 on the first check to $42? How does that work? We then asked for just the bill to be printed, no tips written in on our behalf, so we can include a tip amount ourselves. To this, the woman scolds us for attempting to avoid tipping at all (literally not what we're doing), and that it's policy for them to include a tip on tables five and more. And this point we're so annoyed at their attitudes toward us for simply asking for our correct bills that we check the menu for their policy. Lo and behold, their policy is in fact, a ~20%~ auto-grat on a party of ~six~ or more, which that write in, and this party size, were not. We mentioned this, essentially calling them out for lying, and the woman went, "I guess you're right," scratched out her handiwork as shown in the picture, and said we'd be billed what's printed on the receipt. Cool, fine, awesome. This is what we asked for from the beginning; after this 40 minute (!) back and forth, we're ready to just sign and go. But dear reader, this was instead another lie. After giving our cards and having them ran, the final receipts come back with a 25% tip included anyway, and all our cards were ran in a matter where a "signature was not required." Basically, not allowing us to refute what they just did. Imagine paying extra for food you couldn't eat because someone's whole scalp was cooked into it? This place is a joke, the staff is a joke, and I'm genuinely surprised anyone is able to say otherwise. read more

"Champagne with breakfast while I'm yawning, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning" (Signs by Drake). Can't have Sunday Funday without brunch, am I right? There is a waitlist you sign in on but it's not that bad of a wait (no more than 30 minutes). What better way to kick it off than with some mimosas?! The Pineapple Mimosa was on point and got me feeling good while waiting for my food to come out. Americana is a small yet comfy spot in Capitol Hill. They offer daily specials so wait on the server to hear what's Gucci. I ordered pancakes and they came out pretty quick. They tasted so bomb! Yeah it's just simple pancakes with blueberries, powdered sugar and syrup but damn...they were irresistibly fluffy. That warm goodness melted in my mouth, pure bliss. Wish I could have ate more things off the menu, but I got full quick. The French Toast was good too though, my kid couldn't finish a half order (c'mon now that's barely anything) so I helped him out, it was crispy and amazing! Not soggy at all even after bathing in syrup for quite some time. Overall, dope spot to have some brunch before exploring the beautiful city of Seattle. It's lit! read more

Came here for a birthday brunch because the list of variety in mimosas drew us in. However, everything was just okay. Service wasn't too great as we sat with no response when asking for salt for about ten minutes, but I'll provide leniency as it seems as there were only two servers on staff at the time. I got the American style Benedict, which was just okay. The eggs were jammy, not runny and the piece of toast was small. It also needed more salt to my liking. Mimosa was also just OK, just tasted run of the mill even with the different flavors. The place is pretty small in an odd area of Cap Hill, so ambience isn't crazy or anything. Not bad if you're just looking for a bite to eat. read more

I love this place. I think I've been there every morning, pretty much, for several weeks. You could not get a more welcoming, nicer waitstaff. They are truly sweethearts. (And where else can you get a *perfectly* made frozen mango margarita to go with your freshly made lemon blueberry pancakes?) Yes, folks have mentioned the bathroom is a little sketchy. But that is not on them, that is on the folks that run the building. You have to take a key and go use it, it's not the end of the world, and as it does not change my five star rating. Very highly recommend read more

Because there's always a crowd at this restaurant, expectations were high but my brunch experience here was just okay. Basic breakfast, nothing special or unique. If there was any star of the show, it was the bread (you can get as a side of toast, or the French toast). The meal was so bland that I'm having to give credit to the bread (however I'm positive this bread comes from a separate bakery). As a local, I likely won't come back unless I'm outvoted, but I understand why others do- convenient location, simple food, simple flavors, mediocre experience. In a word: meh. read more

I've dined here several times over the years and always enjoyed it. Today I got the French toast (my usual), and it was really bad- it was greasy and almost burnt, and the fruit on top was cold, canned peaches- it's peach season and the French toast is one of their signature dishes! I only ate a few bites, and no one checked on us during the meal to ask if everything was ok ( it was nearly empty on a Monday morning). When the busser took it away, she asked if I was done- not was there anything wrong or even ask if I wanted a to go box. i said I didnt like it, and mentioned my complaints. She had no reaction. When the waitress came back I again described my dissatisfaction. She also had no comment, other than saying "yes, peaches" when I mentioned the cold canned peaches on top. Not sure if there was a language barrier partially to blame, or if I should have demanded a refund, but I'm not inclined to go back. read more

Americana - Greasy and overcooked - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of my new favorite brunch places in Cap Hill! I was tired of the same places around me, and I was scrolling through Yelp and came across Americana. It is quaint and cozy, and the service was fast. The menu was one of the best I've seen, and I opted for the Maple Glazed Pork Belly. I loved everything about this dish! The pork belly was crispy, sweet, savory, and decadent. The fatty bits melt in your mouth, and the cornmeal pancakes were perfect. The scrambled eggs were good also, I loved the herbs in them. I am 100% coming back, and would highly recommend to anyone looking for solid brunch in the area. read more
