Great food, great coffee, great service! I like the vibe too. I will definitely be coming back.

It still serves basically the same menu as when it was Hills, but now we have to stand in line, order at the counter, get our own water... it's fine, but we miss the old way. I love the roasted chicken salad! read more

WOW! You pay ahead, give them a 20% tip and after that you are screwed! (how tacky!!!) It was my husband's birthday, we went with his brother. His brother got the steak salad that smelled so good! After several minutes of waiting for our burger and fish & chips, I told his brother to go ahead and eat. We waited several more minutes, I finally went inside and saw I saw a burger and fish & chips waiting to go. I asked when will we get served and "Cashier C" said exactly, "you'll get it when it is ready" So I went back outside and waited another long 5 minutes more. Our food was cold. For $20, I expected more than 6 bites of tasteless cold fish, at least the burger was okay but who likes cold fries????. It would have been nice to be able to all eat at the same time! What was the 20% tip for? You have to get your utensils, water and then bus your own table! This was at the top of my list for worst dining experiences ever! read more

The best! The process, portion sizes, quality of food, staff, and service. My choices are usually fish tacos, fish & chips, anything with salmon, sandwiches, the House salad, and once in awhile a shared cookie. The only downside is Blackbird Cafe's popularity, and when busiest, finding a table. read more

So delicious! Stumbled upon this place when visiting Richmond Beach. The fish tacos were awesome, good beer selection, and friendly staff. What's not to love! read more

Love this place! The food is consistently delicious and the people who work there are super friendly. The cinnamon roll is amazing.

Great food if you can handle all the attitude from the staff & people in charge. I'm a very undemanding customer in general & will tip even after a poor experience. We've now had three occasions where it is clear the people working here don't value our patronage. Which is sad bc I had the best hamburger of my life here. I'm not saying I won't go back but I WILL expect to be treated somewhat poorly & I'll expect sub par service. In fact I'd rather serve myself so I don't have to interact with the people who work here just for one of those hamburgers. I'll get my own water & utensils & sit outside if you'll please just be kind enough to cook the burger. read more

Good food and really nice people working here. Like the outside eating area. Always seems busy, probably because it's a great place for a meal. read more

Not a bad place but definitely not one of the best. Has lost all of its charm with the McDonalds style of ordering / service. It is very hit and miss with what service they do provide. One time e got a bunch of attitude from the bartender who was more interested in the game then the patrons. Last time was one of the better experiences but still just not what Hill's used to be. Food is definitely middle of the road and again not bad but nothing to write home about. read more

Servers are really great here. Food is spot on. Love the vibe here. Salads are perfect!

Fantastic neighborhood restaurant. Great for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Very good food at affordable prices.

We didn't eat here because there were not tables available and the outside tables didn't have their heaters turned on so that we could enjoy them. The tables either had people waiting for food to be delivered OR hanging out after eating leaving those walking in to either order to go, or like us leave. read more

Service was great. Personable and professional. The food was terrible. I had the black bean burger. I was looking forward to the Macrina Bakery bun, but it was already soggy when it got to the table. Lettuce was wilted. Black bean burger itself was completely tasteless, like chalk. I took the soggy bun off to enjoy the rest, but couldn't bring myself to finish the tasteless burger. read more

Very tasty food, quick and friendly service. Sit at the bar for full service. Will be back.

Tried the Blackbird Cafe yesterday and it was delightful! From the moment we walked in the door we were greeting us with smiles and happy to see us. I suffer from severe allergic reactions so I have to be on a low histamine diet and I was delighted that I could order several things on their menu without having to omit things, this made me very happy! The Roasted beet salad was dynamite, more beets than I've ever seen in a salad before, it was delicious! The seafood chowder was excellent as well. The service is fantastic and it was a very pleasant dining experience, we will be back! read more

I'll just say it. This place was terrible. We came for a relaxing brunch but this was nowhere near relaxing. You have to do everything yourself except cook your own food. This is a glorified cafe. You have to seat yourself (fine), but also get your own menu, water, silverware, coffee, salt, pepper, get up to order your food, and even bus your own table. The only thing they bring you is your meal but they don't come back to check on you. They pretend to be a fancy sit down restaurant but it's not. The coffee was TERRIBLE and the food was mid. I didn't even finish it. It tasted like nothing so I brought it home so I could try to doctor it up and see if it would be edible. I'm so disappointed, it's so expensive to go out these days so it's super frustrating when you have a bad experience. I want all my money back. read more

LOVE Blackbird! The chowder and steak salad are my go-to's and I'm a creature of habit, when I find something I LOVE to eat, so I haven't veered off the menu much more than that. They have amazingly friendly service, and good cocktails too! There is outdoor seating that is pleasant, and bar seating as well. Super cute, fast, friendly and delicious. Richmond Beach needs more restaurants like this one! read more

Quaint establishment tucked behind an unassuming strip mall in Richmond beach. Don't let the self service ordering fool you- the food was tasty and well presented and the service was great! Definitely good value for your money and bonus- the bottles of wine are half price on Mondays and Wednesdays! Enjoy a meal before you stroll on the beach or vice versa- you won't be disappointed! read more

I am told we had some kind of sandwich or something. Parking was plentiful and confusing. Like your mom's warts.

The truth, I had breakfast with 5 other people They received really excellent tasty food. I got to sample it. I ordered a brisket hash with fried egg. The egg was cooked completely hard. If this was the intent the menu should have said so. The potatoes were partially ok. But about half of them were burned, blackened and bitter. All n all a very disappointing dish. I will likely go back because my friends enjoyed this place but would not order that again. Ever. Even if the egg was cooked ok and nothing was burned I thought it lacked interest and flavor. read more

Wow! Don't miss this hidden gem! Great casual ambiance, super friendly staff, and an out of this world Blackbird Burger! read more

Blackbird - Blackbird Burger - New American Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Great service! A neighborhood bar and meeting place to be proud of.

Just had a terrific breakfast, prompt service, great coffee. This is our neighborhood's not so secret gem. Quality has been consistant, menu always interesting. read more

Horrible menu, great location... service was so so, not a fan, if you like weird food then you're in luck

Grabbed some takeout after visiting a nearby park; my partner and I both selected burgers. They were absolutely delicious, I would definitely eat here again! read more

The best French Dip I have ever had. Cute little place. Friendly staff and yummy food!

Outstanding in all ways: food, service, ambiance, indoor and outdoor seating. They're really upped their game from the Hill's era. So happy to have such a charming, reliable restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

Oh my gosh. Ended up here killing time waiting on a car repair. Wow! Everything was incredible! We got the blackbird burg and blue burg and we were both so impressed! Also got a latte and a brown butter choco chip cookie (massive!). Wow wow wow. We were so happy. This place is in no way convenient to where I live (south end) but I will be making a point to come back just for the incredible food. Staff was super friendly and intuitive with our needs. Might even head back tomorrow, honestly. read more

Amazing restaurant with some of the best dishes! Highly recommend the chicken salad for lunch or fish tacos. Dinner is always great with one of the entrees and the pastries in the morning are divine. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion! Best shoe string fries I've ever had! read more

We returned for burgers and had a really pleasant experience. The burgers are darn good. And there's a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Much, much improved since our last visit two years ago. read more

Had the Salmon Sandwich and it was cooked perfectly. My friends loved their Caesar Salad with Salmon and the Fish and Chips.

Adorable little restaurant tucked into the neighborhoods. Food was amazing, staff was friendly, and atmosphere was wonderful. The mushroom quesadilla was delicious! read more

Really great menu. Salads have a good mix of several different greens and the dressing is a unique homemade vinegarette blend. Their mushroom quesadilla with manchego and goat cheese with chipotle sauce was very good. read more

Great breakfast, cute space, friendly staff. Get there early, order at the counter and get your own coffee. It's pretty simple!

Blackbird is a little eatery tucked into a strip mall in the Richmond Beach neighborhood. In the former spot where The Hills used to be and, from what ice heard, under the same ownership. Came here on a weekday night and it's the type of spot where you order at the counter and help yourself to a glass of water and silverware on a shared table in the middle of the restaurant. A bar is tucked into the back corner for those that prefer. I ordered the daily special off of their chalk board at the counter - it was mushroom chicken with mashed potatos and veggies. As I waited, lots of other folks, who were seated after me, got served before me..but they all received burgers and pasta and the like - stuff that I must have been a quicker to cook. So I waited patiently and ordered a HH ceasar salad. The salad was perfectly dressed in a dressing with just the right amount of zip and served nice and cold in a chilled bowl withfresh lemon. Salad was delicious, I only wish the pieces of lettuce were smaller and more uniform. The larger pieces made it difficult to eat. When my main course plate finally came out it had an appetizing presentation and I was starving. The chicken, mashed potatos and mushroom gravy were all delicious and cooked perfectly. The chicken was perfectly moist. The green beans and carrots however were almost completely raw. I was unable to cut the carrots at all even with the serrated knife provided. I was very bummed out to be given rock hard veggies. Especially to complement the lovely velvety mashed potatoes. In all the time they took to cook the meal, I was disappointed that they did not properly cook the vegetables. As I was almost done with my meal I looked up as my thoughts were wandering thinking of dessert. I went to the counter and ordered a snickerdoodle to go. While waiting for my cookie, I looked back to the kitchen and noticed the food prep workers had no gloves, no masks and no hair nets. 2 young guys were standing back there bare handling all the food and wearing their own beanies! They looked like they had just walked in right off the street. I was very bothered by this after having just finished my meal! And this alone will likely deter me from coming back. I took a bite of the snickerdoodle outside and it was rock hard, crunchy and tasted stale. It had an aftertaste I would describe as "other food". Like if you left a loaf of bread next to an onion and the bread absorbed the onion's flavor. Anyways, cookie was awful and shouldn't have been sold. It was even too stale to end up in a day old basket. After taking a second bite, I just couldn't do it and I tossed it. So much promise in this restaurant but it's saddens me that it's not being executed properly. The menu is appealing and the space is cute, but im not sure I would return after seeing their food handling practices. read more

Blackbird - Mushroom chicken with mashed potato and (rock hard) veggies "daily special " - New American Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Awesome food, very friendly and low key service, and excellent baked goods. I love coming here and will keep coming back again and again!

Good food, friendly staff, and good coffee!! The blackbird burger is delicious. Every time I've been there's been a short wait time.

Was looking for a place to meet up with a long time friend for over brunch and nailed it with this one. You order at the cash register and the staff there were great about walking up the line to take orders when a line formed, speeding things up significantly. There was inside and patio dining options, as well as sitting at the bar and we chose the counter area with tall chairs; it was busy overall but that space allowed for a little more privacy while catching up. We both got mimosas - grapefruit was mine - super tasty! And food spot on as well - breakfast burrito and a scramble, which they brought out to your table by the number flag given when we paid. Parking was the only tricky part - it was packed when we arrived - 1130 on Saturday and the lot is small and deadends (created a fun needing to reverse and drive backwards for a sec situation); we had more luck parking across the street at the shit down building. read more

Used to come here pretty often but the quality of food has gone down hill used to order burgers and sandwiches here but now I can't even get a sandwich without the bread being soggy or the fries being mid way cooked, I don't understand if it's new cooks or what has happened but I will not be coming to blackbird as often as I used to cause of the change of food read more

Friendly staff and tasty food! AND in the neighborhood. Definitely worth it! My friend and I shared our respective choices of beet salad and black bean burger with straw fries. It was ample and delicious. We cleaned our plates! My friend was visiting from south Seattle, but I will certainly return! read more
