    Dunks Meal, Onion Rings, Mac & Cheese
    Geo N.

    I've had Big Chicken a couple times before and each time I was surprised by how good it was- especially for a fast food spot! I also think this location recently got a drive thru with one small window which was nice. We got the dunks meal and subbed the fries for onion rings plus an additional side of mac and cheese. It was all literally so good and I have no notes! Although I'm not the biggest fan of mac and cheese in general, their's was one of the better ones I've had and they even used cavatappi instead of the usual elbow shape.

    I think Big Chicken is a solid chicken spot for sandwiches and tenders. Their chicken is juicy, perfectly fried and seasoned. Their original chicken sandwich is very good, their bun is so soft, and pickle compliments the chicken well. The tender was very juicy, I added Nashville hot rub which had a nice kick. Their crinkle cut fries are not too salty, and it comes with different BBQ sauces that you can choose from. I think this spot is good to try, though, for fast food, it is a bit pricier than Popeyes or Chic Fil A. Service is good, huge parking lot.

    Still the same as last time we visited...AMAZING! Except...no ice in the machine. But they didn't mind filling it up behind the counter. It was our daughter's first time at Big Chicken and she agrees...the sandwiches were best! We differ on the fries though...so now her inheritance is gonna be much less than before the fryasco... Consistently giving great tasting food thus far is a huge plus.

    We got tenders, fries, grilled cheese, and mac and cheese. Everything was pretty good! The mac and cheese left a bit to be desired but the chicken was tender and moist. Place was slammed but we were still able to find seating. Lots of bussers and employees to help.

    We've been here 4 times in a month and the food is pretty solid! The chicken tastes great. Every time we've gotten food to go, it has been fresh and ready right on time. Uncle Jerome's Nashville Hot is delicious in both sandwich form and popcorn chicken - it's our go to. The fries are just ok, nothing special. We've been obsessed with their seasonal sweet tea which has been peach flavored lately. We go just for that sometimes! So far, all of the employees have been really nice and the inside has always been super clean. We'll definitely be regulars here!

    Chicken places are chick places, they are as frequent as a Starbucks. This place is just a little bit different. Yes, you walk up and order at a counter and then wait. While the menu selection is average, the food is not. I ordered a Shaq attack and Dirty Fries. The chicken sandwich is not greasy nor oily but crisp and with great flavor and just a hint of spice. Now the Dirty Fries are big, they could be a meal by itself. Imagine small steak fries that are cut thin, with bbq sauce and cheese. The restaurant seating is your everyday place and resembles an average cafeteria. This is probably a place that I will need to visit a couple more times at least to make sure

    Big Popcorn Chicken
    La'Tressa G.

    Shaq's new one stop chicken shop in Mulkiteo, WA. I ordered the big popcorn chicken combo. The flavor of the chicken is nice. They use chicken thigh meat so you're guaranteed to have juicy pieces. My only con is that I prefer for my chicken to be fried extra crispy. The French fries are top tier though - perfect size and texture. There is also a sauce bar for you to mix and match with whatever you order, which is cool. Overall not a bad place to eat at or order from. The inside is very clean, and made to entertain (as they have TV's inside).

    BC burger, shaq attack, jalapeno slaw and kids popcorn chicken with strawberry milkshake
    Rona Q.

    We came in on Sunday afternoon and there is no line. Server greeted us and we were able to order right away. We ordered popcorn chicken kids meals with sweet potato fries, original BC burger, shaq attack, side jalapeno slaw, side of fries and strawberry milkshake. Everything was good and we will definitely be back to try different items on the menu. Interior was clean. Refillable station of sauces and drinks which i like since I was able to try the different sauces.

A/C was running high as it was a super humid and hot Saturday. The restaurant is one big open space with large, comfortable booths lining the walls and a selection of tables in the center. This would suit large groups, too. There's a small outdoor patio area with umbrella covered seating. They had World Cup games on and decor to match. THE FOOD: We immediately had warm, thick tortilla chips and house made red salsa on the table. Salsa is on the spicier side, but was absolutely delicious. We had the Cadillac margarita (moderately strong and well mixed), tacos dorado with steak (fried and seasoned perfectly), and corn tacos with birria (melt-in-your-mouth and perfect temp). The bar is its own little mixology section and is very well stocked. SIDE NOTES: We were way too full for dessert, but there were several nice options that all looked and smelled amazing as they passed us. Can't wait to go back when we have emptier stomachs to try more!

From the moment we walked in until the time we left, the entire experience was exceptional. The hospitality was top-notch, and our server, Kim, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating. When I dine out, it's important that I feel comfortable with my server because I truly believe food should be served with love. On a scale of 1 to 10, Kim was off the charts! Now for the food... I ordered the French toast and requested it extra crispy. It arrived perfectly golden brown, topped with fresh berries and real whipped cream--absolutely delicious! I also had over-medium eggs that were seasoned perfectly, although they were a little closer to over easy than medium. Still, they were very good. The only item that fell a bit short was the chicken sausage, which was average and could have used a little more flavor. My husband ordered the pancakes, and they were delicious. His bacon was cooked to perfection--crispy, flavorful, and not overly salty. Honestly, my only complaint was that I got too full to finish everything! If you're looking for great food, outstanding service, and an all-around wonderful dining experience, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try. We'll definitely be back

My wife wanted a lighter breakfast so went with the continental breakfast which came with eggs to order, banana bread, and fruit. The huevos rancheros was very tasty! It's definitely something that I would order again, although I would still like to try the avocado toast as well. At many other tables, I could see traditional breakfast fare such as french toast or pancakes that also looked tasty. My wife gave me a taste of the banana bread and it was delicious! Thick cut like texas toast, and much less dense than homemade banana bread that I am used to. Alas, the server said they might discontinue it, and that they didn't have a recipe but probably ordered it. Shame, now I must find this delicious banana bread! This is a small local chain, but I certainly wish they had a franchise down in the Portland area!

In long Lately we've been seeking out places that are literally quieter--less volume on the music, more space between the tables, and so on. I'd been wanting to check out 5x5, anyway, since it's the only spot around with an exactly perfect rating score. It looked like it'd fit the bill for a low-key place, and off we went. We came in shortly after they opened on a Saturday (4:00 PM). You're in a larger business-traveler hotel here, aimed at Boeing and Boeing-sub folks traveling for work. The building looks kinda generic from outside, but there's plenty of parking, and the lobby has a high-ceilinged atrium vibe for sure. Nice floor tiles, nice carpet, tasteful furniture. Everything's in perfect shape. You don't feel the lounge vibe right away, but there's a gigantic fireplace ahead of you, warming both sides of the room from the middle. Around that, there are lots of sturdy, shiny tables under the lofty ceilings. Off to the side, there's a little lounge area, then another one. Everything in the lounge is bar-height seating, and there are a few flatscreens, probably showing the game. Most folks are in here, sitting around the bar in the middle of the room. We posted up at a table just outside the lounge. Lindsey was behind the bar, and cheerfully answered every single question we had about food and all their cocktails. She's super friendly and makes a great drink for sure. She seems to have a bunch of regulars who aren't staying at the hotel, which is a great sign, no doubt. We checked out the warm pretzel--such a decadent treat. The waffle fries (and especially the aioli that came with them) were awesome. The pizza was a great choice; we added pickled onions to the Speedway. The crust could be a little crisper but we took home what we didn't finish and it's great here, too. Service on food and drinks was really quick. The cocktails here can be really creative, and there are lots of classics with house twists on the recipe. They even have a pisco sour they've tweaked--that's a fair bit of work for a bartender to make mid-shift. We got 5 great drinks and 3 nice plates of food for $96, and I don't think we even ordered anything from the HH menu. This is a very easy place to add to the rotation.

The 5 x 5 bar & bistro is new. What it was before was an old theater. Matthew was a one-man show with two ladies helping him with carrying the done orders to the tables. It was actually quiet on a Wednesday when we had went. Only 3 tables occupied. We missed happy hour and settled on the regular menu. I had the chicken tenders (4-pc) with lemon pepper seasoning (oh my -- this was delicious!) along with sweet potato waffle fries. I also got the hummus plate -- fresh veggies and the hummus had feta cheese and olive oil too, yummy! My bf had the pepperoni pizza with cheddar cheese and topped with green onions. I had a taste of it and it was pretty good! My bf's mom had the fish burger with a side salad. Matthew was so kind and made a mental note of the orders. He even remembered my bf's mom saying 'no cheese' and he doubled checked with her after looking at the fish burger. Real nice guy and his service with the ladies was warm and delightful! They're forming an events room hall that will be done soon that used to be a pool area (so yes, no swimming pool anymore). They also have a nice patio area with long chairs and a nice mini bar/grills in the middle. I also had a limoncello cooler and my bf's mom has red wine too. We'd come back again!

I picked the wrong Basil location so that was my fault but I caught it in time and arrived right at 5:15. I walked in and two to-go orders were ready for pickup. None of which were mine. Two teenage boys were cleaning and no patrons were there. The interior looks pretty cool. Nicer than the Everett location. Regardless, one of the guys asks how I ordered it and I said through the website. He said it should be right up then. He comes out about 5 minutes later and admits their "device wasn't on" so they just now see my order and it'll be another 15 minutes. I sincerely appreciate the honesty and accountability but if you're a brand new location and it's 45 minutes after you open, turning on such a device should absolutely be MISSION CRITICAL and priority number. No offer to rectify anything or comp anything, just an apology. The food quality should have a standard and be good all the time so rating a place for their food should be the status quo but what puts a place above the competition is their service and efficiency. This experience was incredibly disappointing - especially when there's the Everett location to compare it to. The owner:patriarch has greeted me and conversed with me multiple times and it's run very well. As for Lynnwood, obviously I don't know who was in the back but a new location should be supervised by the most experienced of staff for the first few weeks, if not months.

The woman at the counter was super friendly and packaged the burger very carefully so I could take it home in one piece! I ordered the Blu Burger & Butterfinger Milkshake - both were solid. Butterfinger shake was delicious, although part of me wishes I got some of their on-tap root beer instead. The burger was tasty, albeit a bit of an adjustment for me since I'm still warming up to blue cheese. The only downside was that the bacon tasted a bit too meaty (if that makes sense) and one of the pieces had a part that couldn't be chewed in it. Regardless, it's a solid burger and I'm excited to go back and try another one! They do not serve beer/alcohol here anymore and have converted the old beer tap to a root beer tap.

I was really happy I was able to get a twice baked potato, because I find them as a delicacy that are slowly fading away. I loved how all the flavors in this just came together so well. And it was definitely the star of the show. For the prime rib sandwich, I found that when paired with the au jus, it came together quite well. I noticed my friend got horseradish with his dish, but I didn't get it with mine. When I added some of that to the sandwich, it elevated it even more. I tried a bite of my friend's prime rib and it was pretty solid. The crispy onion was really good too. The fries from my friend's burger weren't bad either. The service here is really attentive, they have a pretty solid happy hour menu and the ambiance is really nice here too. I would recommend coming here!

    We've been to The Keg many times over the years, and there's a reason we keep coming back. The…read moresteaks are consistently phenomenal, the atmosphere is polished without feeling stuffy, the desserts are usually excellent, and overall we've always associated The Keg with a higher level of hospitality. This visit was for a particularly important occasion. There were six of us celebrating our friend Amanda's birthday. this year we really wanted the evening to be about celebrating Amanda, surrounding her with people who love her, and giving her a genuinely happy birthday memory. We had a six-top in the bar, and overall dinner was very good. Management seemed attentive, the food was well prepared, and I especially appreciated that they use seat numbers when delivering food rather than standing at the table auctioning off plates. As someone who works in hospitality, that little detail matters. It's professional, polished, and exactly what I expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Our server, Kaylee, I believe, took care of us throughout dinner. Her service style was a little robotic and dry, but everyone has a different personality and that certainly didn't ruin our evening. The meal does take some time, but honestly, we enjoyed that because it gave the six of us plenty of time to talk, laugh, and enjoy each other's company. Unfortunately, the end of the evening is where things really fell short. Toward the end of dinner, I privately found our server and told her it was Amanda's birthday and asked if she could bring out a dessert with a candle. I was hoping for just a small surprise and a nice birthday moment for our friend. Instead, the desserts were brought to the table with the candle unlit, placed in the middle of the table, and then the candle was lit right there. It completely removed the element of surprise and just felt very flat and mechanical. I wasn't expecting a Broadway production or the entire restaurant to sing, but a little warmth and enthusiasm would have meant a lot--especially at a restaurant known for hospitality. We also ordered a crème brûlée, and unfortunately it was genuinely bad. It wasn't sweet and had an overwhelming egg flavor--to the point that everyone who tried it compared it to scrambled eggs. We took one bite and were done. What made that more disappointing was that our server never returned after dropping off the desserts. I had already handed her my card for our roughly $450 check, so there was never an opportunity for her to ask how dessert was or for us to let her know something was wrong. Overall, I'd call this about a 3 1/2 out of 5 experience. The steaks and dinner itself were very good, the restaurant remains beautiful, and there are still many things The Keg does exceptionally well. I just wish the final 15 minutes had matched the level of care shown throughout the rest of the meal. For most people, a birthday candle might seem like a tiny detail. For Amanda, this particular birthday meant a little more. I just wish that moment had been handled with a little more thought and warmth.
