    Came here for some breakfast and it was pretty nice. You order at the counter then you can choose to sit either inside or outside. The service was good and efficient. I also had a coffee and it tastes decent as well. It's in a nice area too which I like.

    Chilaquiles with red sauce

    Recently went on a trip to Shoreline had a chance to go to Black Bird loved the service and thought that the seasonal menu was amazing. Got to enjoy the French toast as well as their chilaquiles it was divine! Very flavorful. The setting was great with outdoor options!

    Fish Tacos
    Ciege A.

    Stopped here for lunch. It's a busy restaurant -- that seemed to have a lot of regulars. You walk in and order and then sit at a table with a number and they bring your food out to you. You get your own water, napkins, utensils, etc. Ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the Fish Tacos. They were both really good!! The fish was cooked perfectly- hot and fresh. And the sandwich had great flavor and the chicken was cooked well. The service fell short for us. We ordered drinks which didn't come out until our food did -- which was almost a 25 minute wait. When the food did come out, I was brought the wrong meal and had to wait longer. For me, the prices are also a little steep for the portion sizes and also not having a server. Luckily the taste of the food was great! We sat outside -- which was nice patio area. There were also a handful of tables inside but they were all full.

    Lamb Burger
    Geo N.

    This was my second time visiting Blackbird and it's quickly become one of my favorite lunch spots for a sunny day! The inside is very charming and there's an outdoor seating area to the side which is perfect for enjoying the weather. Keep in mind that this place is mostly self-serve except for when they bring your food out. You order at the front and you bus your own water and utensils. The food: SO good. Both my friend and I got lamb burgers and ohmygosh they were so juicy. The sauce, greens, and bread all worked really well together. It definitely had a strong lamb flavor though which I know can be divisive, but lamb is my personal favorite protein. I loved how thin and crispy the fries were. I also got a lemon lavender spritzer which was very refreshing and subtly sweet. It didn't taste much like lavender but I enjoyed it nonetheless. 10/10 I need to come back asap!

    Blackbird completely exceeded our expectations. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated -- from crispy fries to colorful salads and juicy burgers. Every bite hit just right, and the lemonade was the perfect refreshing balance. But what really stood out was the staff, who were truly the heart of the experience. Every single person we interacted with was kind, attentive, and welcoming in a way that felt effortless and sincere. You could tell they genuinely cared -- not just about the food, but about creating a space that felt good to be in. We had just come from the loud, crowded chaos of Pike Place Market, and stepping into Blackbird's calm, well-run space felt like a breath of fresh air. One moment that meant a lot to me -- I kept trying to take photos of the little blackbird statues with gold crowns perched up high because they were so cute. One of the staff noticed and brought them down for me to photograph up close, without me even asking. It was such a small, thoughtful gesture that completely made my day. Between the incredible service, the delicious food, and the charming decor, Blackbird has officially earned a permanent spot on my Seattle favorites list. I can't wait to come back.

    Veggie Hash and chilaquiles (meat)

    Lovely spot for some cafe style food and coffees. The service was pleasant and quick. It wasn't crowded and seating available right away.

    Oven Roasted Chicken Salad & French Dip
    Carol C.

    We come here often for their delicious food. Our daughter likes their pasta bolognese and hubby and I like their oven roasted chicken salad. On our most recent visit, I was very impressed with their seafood fettuccine which was listed as a special. It was the right amount of richness with perfectly cooked seafood.

    Jason L.

    This is one of the spot I will come back every once a while. It's in the neighborhood of shoreline by Richmond Beach area. Great service and food. Not to mention that the historic Shoreline Fire Station is right next door to it too. I enjoyed my meal, it was tasty and decent amount of portion to fill you up! Don't forget the dessert!

Street parking only, but if you're open to a walk, downtown Edmonds tends to have ample parking around the area. When busy, they do provide a buzzer that has a short range, but opens up the opportunity of walking around slightly. Items can be a bit pricey, but they're also very filling. Large space, lots of chatter, and friendly service. Number Three Combo Club - we wanted waffles this time but also bacon and sausage. This was the variety pack we desired, though wish it came with both sausage and bacon! Opted for the bacon and it was thick, fatty, and delicious. One waffle cut into the four quadrants, ready to soak up syrup. Simple, but a classic. Chunky Monkey Pancakes - goofy perhaps, but another timeless classic combo of chocolate and bananas. Three chocolate chip pancakes, fluffy and ready to absorb the Nutella drizzle. Could have a few more chocolate chips embedded for a more balanced spread, but the chocolate drizzle helps spread flavor. Bananas for the healthy balance of course.

    Hot Dogs in Cars, and Managers Named "Robert" : A Hate Story…read more I have been a regular patron of The Rusty Pelican since I moved to Washington, just shy of 5 years ago. I take visiting loved ones and friends here, and I constantly extol the service and food to anyone who needs a recommendation for a breakfast spot in Edmonds. NEVER. EVER. AGAIN. The manager, Robert, showed sickening behavior. My partner and I were having breakfast out in front, when we noticed that a fellow patron had left their dog in the car on the sidewalk in front of our table. It was 60 degrees out, and completely sunny. The windows were barely cracked, and the dog was panting and straining its neck towards the venting of the window. We called our waiter over, who was incredibly sympathetic and horrified. He went inside to find the customer. We waited a few minutes longer, and then asked a second server to follow up (they were equally horrified and sympathetic). The second server also did not return. My partner went inside to seek help. It was at this point that they encountered Robert. My partner came out a few minutes later and explained what was happening: he had been in the process of denigrating the employees feelings about the matter, telling them to stop bothering customers and (essentially) quit acting like babies. "This isn't Arizona!" he exclaimed. When my partner asked to speak with him and tell him the situation, he was horrendously rude and confrontational, escalating each polite rebuttal with an agitating escalation of rudeness and denigration. My partner calmly explained that in these conditions, a car's interior temperature can rise to above 80 degrees in well under 30 minutes, not including stifling humidity. These conditions can cause an animal to pass out and die within a similar timeframe. At this point, it had been well over 30 minutes since the patron had parked. During all of this, he refused to even address my partner or look them in the eyes. It was absolutely unacceptable, and ultimately embarrassing for a grown man in a PAID CUSTOMER SERVICE ORIENTED POSITION to treat anyone like that. To be clear: the entire staff were incredible. They came out to check on the dog a few times, and tried their best to confront the owner of the dog, but a certain manager was preventing them. They also apologized profusely, and showed a grace that is exemplary and frequently unseen in today's world. We learned several good lessons today: 1. We should have just called animal control right off the bat. The owner isn't going to learn their lesson without legal intervention, or lethal endings. Thankfully they left after about 40 minutes, and the dog seemed to be conscious. 2. I am never going to eat here again, as long as Robert is employed. He should be left in a hot car out front to teach him some perspective. I wouldn't call animal control for him though. 3. I am going to spend the rest of my days around Edmonds telling anyone who will listen this story. To Robert, if you read this: I hope nothing but bad things happen to you forever, and your behavior is inexcusable. You do not deserve to be employed. To anyone above Robert in a position of management or ownership: fire him. Quickly, and unceremoniously. Do it in front of the kind employees, as a treat. They had a familiar air of exasperation with Robert's behavior, telling me this is normal. And under no circumstances should it ever be. Shame on you Robert.

    My husband and I tried Fire & the Feast for a date night for the first time, and unfortunately, I…read moredon't think we'll be back. The food was fine, but the overall experience was disappointing. The restaurant was extremely loud and felt very chaotic. Given the menu prices, we didn't expect to be seated so tightly between other groups that it felt like we were practically dining on top of each other. We could barely hear each other throughout the meal because another table was just inches away, and servers had to squeeze between the tables to take orders. When we were seated, I asked if we could move to an empty table nearby. The hostess explained that they typically don't seat two people at a four-top, which would have been understandable, except that one of the tables right next to us remained occupied by only two people for our entire meal. I wasn't looking for a special table--just a little more space to enjoy a conversation with my husband. We also had a reservation, so I expected the seating experience to be a bit more thoughtful. The food was perfectly fine, but the atmosphere and seating arrangement made it difficult to enjoy our date night. Overall, it felt like an overpromise-and-underdeliver experience, especially for the price point.

    I returned to Fire and the Feast with some out of town guests. Service was better; however, the…read moreserver Brady that I requested, was not there. The biggest problem was the focaccia appetizer and it was embarrassing! Focaccia is typically a nice thick slice of bread with spices on top. Not Fire and the Feast focaccia! It looked like wet Melba toast. Maybe a 1/4 thick with no spices on top. Why would you put something like that on a menu, let alone on a table for people to eat? I have had a service issue the last time I was there and only returned to get Brady to serve us. I do not see myself returning to the Fire and the Feast after a second disappointment of the worst focaccia appetizer! I am not tempting strike 3. Here is what Google says about Focaccia: Focaccia is a soft, flat Italian bread known for its dimpled surface, chewy texture, and rich olive oil flavor, often topped with herbs, salt, and other ingredients like vegetables or cheese. I suggest you either share this with your kitchen or take it off the menu.

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!
