Bacun burger with tater tots.
Charlie L.

A vegan dive bar (is that a thing?) crossed with a vegan diner (even rarer of a thing?) in a converted Chinese restaurant (ok seriously?) If you're into the oddities of juxtapositions, this is definitely the place for you. You walk in and are immediately confused. No hostess, no clear signage... just a doorbell on a counter telling you to press it to let them know you're there. If you came in prepared for this non-standard operation... it certainly adds to the super quirky vibe. If not, I can imagine you might be a bit frustrated. Food is definitely greasy-spoon-dive-bar worthy. Extra points for tater tots and curly fries. Wish there were some more "fresh" options, but if you're a meat eater craving bar food, you might not be sad about the cheesy greasy burgers. Frankly I'm too straight laced for this... but I got my obligatory bacun (sic) burger and saw myself out after leaving a hefty tip. I love the wonderful waitress and the owner's creativity for filling out a niche that I'm not sure anyone recognized as a gap to be filled. I most certainly will point a few folks to this for the novelty factor but given this is not really the kind of food I eat, nor my kind of scene, I probably won't be a regular.

I am not vegan and have no desire to be (as I lack discipline lol). But the food is so good here. I've had their burgers, fries, and wings. And they're delicious. It's a cool little place with its own flair. I'd recommend to give it a try!

Somewhat of a hidden gem. This spot located off of Broadway in Everett is a great American style vegan restaurant! When you walk in, the vibes are bright and neon with lots of cool art to see. There was only one server when I went, but they made the experience all the worth it by sharing their favorites on the menu. With a sugar cane stick to support the wing, the sauce, texture and comfort I got from having some vegan wings was amazing. Definitely need to try a brat + beer next!

Just some of the decor

First impressions: Entering the business they have a door bell clicker you click to get service. Seating was quick. While there is new decor, the decor from the old owners, Thai restaurant, remains. Hopefully they can get that removed soon. The area is COLD. If you are someone who gets chilly or cold easily, BRING A COAT, sweater or just something to keep warm because it is FREEZING. Food came quickly. They offer stubborn brand soda which is the best! We got the soft pretzels with sweet mustard SOOOOO GOOD. The bread was perfect lil crunch and super soft on inside. My husband got a Bacun (yes spelled this way in menu not a spelling error ) burger and I got the classic burger. I was super worried about my carnivor husband and how he would like it, especially when the food showed up. The bacon looks like brown bacon dog strips. You know the commercial, "BACON BACON BACON WHERE? ITS BACON!" Lol. But he took a bite and LOVED IT. He actually was trying to figure out what this animal friendly bacun was so he could buy some lmao! The fries werw awesome too, I dunno if they were cooked in beer batter like the fried pickles or what but were so good. My husband ate it ALL. Lol it was nice to rub it in that vegan food does in fact taste good! Lmao We will definitely be going again! Just with a hoodie next time

Mac N cheese with added bacon
Heather J.

It's been a minute since my initial review and I've been back so many times. This is now a different location, much bigger and better, with its own parking lot which I consider a huge plus. As previously mentioned I've been hanging out in Everett for a long time and I never would have imagined this run down Asian restaurant would become a future vegan mecca. Plus now it has a bar area, with pinball even. I would love to see more events/meet ups happening here as there seems to be plenty of space and the ideal spot for vegan socializing. I have now dined here with countless people and every time I go I try to remind myself that I should really go more often. Everything I've had I absolutely love and my non veg dining partners are usually fans too. I try to get something different every time, but I do have my favorites like the ranch dressing and the curly fries. It's fun that they often have weekend specials so even if you feel like you have had the whole menu there are still new things to try regularly. I most recently had a delicious mac and cheese, bacon burger which I begged to have added to the regular menu. I previously found the Yo Egg burger to be really interesting, but messy, ask for extra napkins. My biggest problem with coming here is that it is so hard to choose what to get, thankfully they are always willing to help me decide. The vibe and decor are amazing. Everyone working here is super nice. They are always happy to answer questions about the food. I worry about the future location if they lose this building, but for now it is the best thing ever and you should definitely check it out. This place, in my opinion, is by far the best vegan option in Sno Co.

I am a meatatarian. I am not vegan; I am not vegetarian. I was dragged here for a double date and scoffed at their dairy-free cheese and wild ways of making plants taste like meat. "I'm going to hate this," I thought. No, I KNEW. So I begrudgingly got the Western burger as it had BBQ sauce and an onion ring on it and sounded like the least painful option. And it's one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. I can't believe I'm actually writing this. I didn't even take a picture of the burger because I was too busy sneering at it when the friendly servers brought it over. I don't even know what the imitation cheese is made of. Or the patty. I don't want to know. All I know is that it was delicious. I can't believe I actually want to go back here. Like, my experience here shook my very beliefs to their core. Bravo, Bayside.

Weekend Ramen Special (not a regular menu dish)
Victoria H.

Bayside is a wonderful place to have some great vegan comfort food! My wife and I are from Seattle, but whenever we are in Everett, we definitely make a stop at Bayside! This spot is an Everett treasure for sure! The service is phenomenal. The staff are always so kind and pleasant to us. The restaurant has a great vibe. It is located in a former Asian restaurant and it definitely has that vibe in its decor, but also has a cool new funky vibe as well! It's definitely a casual ambiance as well. The food was phenomenal. I had the deep fried pickles, BBQ soy curls sandwich, and the confetti cupcake. My wife had the Ramen weekend special (not a regular dish). The food was absolutely delicious and had an amazing taste. We both enjoyed our food and the cupcake was good as well. I highly recommend Bayside for great comfort vegan food eats and we will be back!

There is plenty of parking and they are conveniently located right on an intersection on Broadway. As soon as you walk in you experience bright colors, fun decor, and the very strong settled-in greasy smell of an old Chinese restaurant. We were greeted promptly and told to sit wherever we liked, they have plenty of tables, booths, and even have a separate bar area. Service was friendly, but very slow considering how few people were dining at 2p on a Wednesday (not once were we checked on after getting our food, and all of our dirty dishes remained on our table even after we ordered dessert.) The fried pickles were the best thing we ordered, tempura battered and perfectly cooked. The lavender drink I got only tasted like passion fruit, and the cheesecake was bland. The meat substitute on the breakfast sandwich tasted like the Impossible brand, and the hash brown comes on the sandwich with a side of fries. Neither the sandwich or burger were finished at the table, the curly fries were okay but definitely needed salt. When we got home about an hour after dining, both of our stomachs were upset (possibly due to the high fat content). I don't think we will be back, but if we ever do we plan on trying the Nachitos from the appetizer menu.

I tried this vegan restaurant in Everett for the first time last week. I heard about it on a news article saying it's one of the best vegan restaurants in the area. From the outside, it doesn't look very inviting. But the inside is really large and well decorated, with a bar lounge area and a regular dining area with booths and lots of seating. The staff were super friendly, giving me great recommendations for what to order and good conversation. I ordered the vegan buffalo wings, which is made from homemade seitan wrapped around a fake bone and fried, then dipped in buffalo sauce. This was really delicious, and you can tell it's made with a lot of love, a very unique dish. For entrees, me and my friend ordered burgers with different toppings. They came with beyond beef, vegan cheese, sauces, and fun toppings like onion rings, vegetables, and more. It came with curly fries or regular fries, and the staff gave us tons of unique sauces for dipping. The burgers were really good, but the star of the show was the buffalo wings! Staff recommended the fried pickles and mushrooms, but were too full to try. I hope to go back and try them soon. We ordered 2 cupcakes, the chocolate bomb one and a birthday cake one. Both were delicious and made great leftovers! I really recommend this place. The staff is lovely and put a ton of energy and effort into their food and quality service. The space is large, so you can come with a good group of people. Everything is fresh and it was a great experience. I really recommend this restaurant! I attached some photos of the menu.

Very Solid burger joint in Snohomish County. The burgers are no frills and don't add any of that…read morefancy extra stuff. The food was served piping hot and was cooked perfectly. Bacon was chewy and crisp, burger was dripping... Just an absolute great burger. Also the milkshakes afterwards were great. The service was pretty fast considering the crowd. We arrived just as lunch rush was starting and the servers were very nice and our food was served promptly. Also the bathrooms were very clean. The parking can be a little tight to maneuver because of the drive thru lane. We didnt see any highchairs for our little one, so be prepared for sitting in a booth if you have kids.

Good - the burgers were pretty tasty…read more Bad - Lost order & wrong order, blamed for it all We came in with two tiny (1&3) kids and two adults. Ordered the same thing for the kids, and the same burger for both adults - one as a meal and one just the burger. 20 mins go by and it turns out our ticket just got .. lost? So we waited with two hungry kids for 20 mins before they even started making our food. Food comes, and my burger is wrong. I go up, tell them, and walk away thinking they were going to fix it. Another 10 mins and someone comes to our table asking if we were still wanting the burger we actually ordered and that we need to pay a dollar something for it. At this point, it's been 35 mins since we ordered and I still don't have the burger I asked for in front of me. The person "helping" us argued that nothing was their fault, they must have read the order back and I didn't correct them (we order two of the same burgers!) so I'd need to pay (not the issue, it's like $1) and wait some more for the right burger. I gave up and ate my by-thay-point cold burger. Honestly, this could have been so easily fixed. We were fine with our order being forgotten and I would have happily exchanged the burger I got for the one I ordered. There wasn't even an attempt to make up for the forgotten meal - instead they made it worse.

That Chicken Place - Fried Chicken Slider with Tater Tots

That Chicken Place

(221 reviews)

The food was good, but the prices were honestly shocking. I paid $19 for chicken tenders with a…read moresmall side of fries--and that didn't even include sauce. They charge an extra $2.50 just for dipping sauce, which feels excessive. Even water isn't complimentary--you have to buy a bottled water for $3.50. On top of that, the restaurant itself is small with limited, uncomfortable seating. There's also no wait staff, so if you need anything, you have to get up and take care of it yourself. If you're heading there before an Everett Silvertips game with friends, you'll be lucky to find seating--it only has about 25 seats total. Overall, decent food, but between the high prices, limited space, and lack of basic service, it didn't feel like a great value.

I picked this place solely bc of the overall stars. And I must say I left feeling perplexed…read more My son definitely ordered the better meal. He went with fried chicken burger with tater tots. The burger was decently. It wasn't anything I'd go out of my way for but it was solid choice. It was crispy and seasoned pretty well. The tater tots were exceptionally tasty. Fried to perfection without being greasy. And the seasoning was chef kiss. My chicken wings were slathered in garlic Parmesan sauce. And that sauce was actually tasty. But my wings were so rubbery and it lacking any crispy texture. It was like they were boiled, flash fried for color and then bathed in the sauce to finish cooking. I just wish the chicken was cooked better. It would have been a much better experience. The pretzel and cheese is a big no. Nothing tasty about the pretzel bites as at all and the cheese sauce was not great either. Service was great. They were really friendly.
