Seafood Cioppino special.
Amanda Z.

I came here with my husband and two young kids this evening and we really enjoyed our meal! The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and helpful. My kids were stoked to get a whole box of crayons to color with rather than just the typical 4-pack. The food was GREAT! The kids meals were very generous portions, which I appreciated because my kids are big eaters. Hubby initially ordered the prime rib, rare. The waitress let him know that tonight the prime rib looked a little closer to medium so he changed his order to a Cobb salad with added flat iron steak. It came out beautiful (and rare) and he was very happy with it. He would not have been happy with medium prime rib, so we both appreciated the waitress' honesty. I ordered the seafood cioppino off of the daily special. I mostly enjoyed it. What was a little disappointing was that the menu said it had shrimp, mussels, clams, and scallops. However, I was a bit dismayed to dig in to my bowl to find that there were no clams and quite a lot of calamari which had not been listed as an ingredient. I don't eat calamari so I would have made a different choice (or asked for a substitution) had I known. The rest of the seafood was delicious and fresh, though. And the garlic bread was yummy. The only other feedback I'd give is to suggest a screen door if they are going to prop the front door open. There were quite a few flies buzzing around. We were swatting them away like we were at an outdoor barbecue--not what one hopes to see inside of a classy restaurant. Other than that, we really enjoyed our meal and will totally come back.

The artichoke dip was nice and creamy but not heavy .

My first meal in Everett after I landed in Seattle. After read the review prior to the trip , I decided for a quick lunch . I was greeted by the server Amanda with a sweet welcome smile . We ordered a Cobb salad , artichoke dip and a grilled chicken sandwich. The Cobb salad was big and very standard , I liked the artichoke dip , it's creamy but not heavy. The grilled chicken sandwich was perfect , the chicken was nicely grilled but not dry , it's served with smoked bacon, avocado, lettuce tomato and onions . The aoli provides a nice mild spicy that's well balanced with the sandwich. I believed this is a well known local small restaurant in the old bank building built in the early 1920 . Amanda is a good server , she was the only server than does the meet & greet , serve and run the food , clean and set the tables ! She is the best !

Was a walk-in, no reservation. Had the King Salmon special on the chalk board. Cooked to perfection! My wife taught me not to pick up the plate and lick it in public. All the portions were just right for me. Sat at the bar.

Crab stuffed salmon.  Crispy, hot, moist!

Don't judge a book by its cover really applies to Buck's. from the outside it is easy to miss and looks like a hole in the wall, but as soon we walked in we were greeted by the host and quickly seated at our table (we made a reservation ahead of time via the Yelp app). everyone was super friendly and we quickly settled into drinks and dinner. 1) Smoked halibut - this was so good. perfectly cooked fish over rice and vegies with a decadent sauce and comes out with the glass dome containing the smoke. dinner and a show and gave the fish a perfect amount of smoke. I would definitely order this again! 2) Crab stuffed salmon - this was also good. huge piece of salmon stuffed with a crab medley and fried to a perfect crispiness while maintaining its juiciness. 3) BBQ bison meatloaf. buffalo meatloaf wrapped in crispy bacon and topped with a fantastic bbq sauce. what more do you want?! the only thing I did not like is the mashed potatoes. it is more on the drier side than I prefer. 4) Chocolate peanut butter pie - talk about a huge slice of pie. loved the chunks of peanuts in it. good contrast between the cold pie, hot fudge, peanuts....mmmm. 5) Peach creme brulee - this was good. had a hint of peach, but otherwise your typical brulee. If they added a small pile of diced peaches on the side it could have really pushed this to being really good. Overall I would highly recommend this place and will be back for sure!

Very Americana

I came here on Sunday and they were serving brunch. I did not realize that though it was all good. I saw Reuben on the regular menu and wanted to have that here, but the brunch menu was equally interesting. I decided on the sasquatch sandwich which was quite a brilliant take on brunch food. It was basically chicken fried steak minus the gravy, fried egg, bacon and cheese on brioche bun. Instead of fries and salad as you would usually get for lunch or dinner, it was served with country potatoes and fruits. The food was delicious and the two slices of bacon which came with it were a generous size. No skinny bacon here. The place was pretty busy and they seemed understaffed. Just be patient and someone will come along shortly. If I am in Everett area again, I will try other food here. Free street parking in the area.

Meatloaf
Katherine C.

Food was so good!! Pork was juicy and seasoned well. The fries were so perfect!! Green beans were crisp tender. Hubby loved his meatloaf. The tots were meh. The appetizer prawns were perfectly breaded and delicious. Service was great and attentive.

My parents and I came to Buck's American Cafe yesterday to visit some family in town from Idaho and Arizona/Oregon. Parking is provided adjacent to the side of the restaurant with the front entrance facing the main road. Arriving around 5:30 p.m., the place was already bustling with activity and was a bit noisy. It was difficult to hear my family members speaking off-and-on through dinner. The lighting was also a little on the dim side and the floor layout a bit tight, but not too bad. I ordered the Mel's Original Burger and a side salad with bleu cheese dressing in place of the fries/soup. The wait for the food to arrive once we placed our orders was about 40 minutes. The salad came coated in the dressing, as opposed to the dressing being on the side, and was applied in just the right amount. The burger's flavors were perfect, the meat was well cooked, and the cheeses on the burger (Havarti and bleu cheese) were in harmony without one overpowering the other. The only note I had was that the bun was a little on the thick side and the burger a little on the thin side. Not a flavor thing, so much as a relative ingredients portioning thing. Everyone in our group ate everything we ordered, tasty all round. The waitress was cheeky in a chipper way and not too intrusive into dinner table conversation. Payment was straightforward even with a split check.

One of my new favorites in the Everett area. The photo was taken before the evening crowd, so it looks quiet but they get a nice crowd for happy hour and dinner. I like the atmosphere and the food is excellent! I've had the meatloaf and fish and chips so far. Both were very good! I'm a fish and chip fan and although I've only lived in WA 4 yrs, it's top 1 or 2 I have had since living here. It's halibut and the batter is light and crispy without being very greasy. I will be back often for that! Meatloaf was also excellent! I have gone solo, so the recent addition of a TV is much appreciated. I enjoy watching hockey or whatever while stopping in. Menu looks great, so I look forward to working my way through it on my future visits!

I am traveling from SeaTac to Everett Naval Support Center and will stop by for a quick lunch . Is there any free parking for my rental car?

Yes, there's parking in front as well as on the side of the building and the back so you should be totally fine.

Every time I come to Everett, I find something new to enjoy!…read moreThe Colby Club is my latest find. The revitalizing Everett downtown offers an increasingly impressive selection of restaurant and drinking choices. The Colby Club is one of the best. Presented as a "Speakeasy ", it is not in any way hidden away, but strives for the '20s vibe, with period furniture and decor. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional,and helpful. Our Bartender, Mark, was exceptional! Watching him craft our cocktails was a show in itself! Delicious cocktails well crafted and presented. We're looking forward to our next visit!

I thought it was closed. It's dark outside, no sign glowing, kinda mysterious in a "do we knock or...?" way. But we slide in and BAM... disco lights, disco jams, and staff dressed straight out of the '70s. I was instantly vibing. We snagged a table facing the crowd because obviously I live for good people watching. Our waitress, adorable and super sweet, suggested I try the Lavender Flip, and holy moly it was amazing. Like floral, creamy, cozy perfection in a glass. Hubby got some cucumber-whiskey thing that looked so fancy I had to steal a sip (and yes, it was as good as it looked). Food-wise, we split... he got the charcuterie board (solid) and I got the bacon-wrapped dates, which were basically tiny bites of happiness. Just enough to snack on without ruining the drinks. The whole vibe? Chef's kiss. My husband actually said, "This is my perfect place," and he's not wrong. Chill lighting, funky crowd, killer playlist, and that sweet spot between classy and relaxed. Only hiccup, it took forever to get our check, but to be fair, it was packed and our waitress apologized about a dozen times. Then I find out Everett does some big "First Friday" thing every month, and Colby Club goes all in. Disco night and all-night happy hour. Like, what?! Unreal. Definitely coming back on a regular night too, just to see what the "normal" vibe is like (if it's ever normal). 10/10 for date night energy, people watching, and cocktails that make you wanna dance under a disco ball.

If you're on the fence about trying something custom, absolutely do it--you won't be disappointed. The food paired perfectly with the cocktails and rounded out a great overall experience. Between the quality of the drinks, the solid food, and the excellent service, Bluewater Distillery delivered across the board.

There was four of us that had dinner last night. Two of us ordered the mushroom risotto with chicken added. And two of them ordered the salmon dinner. The chicken was extremely rubbery and way too chewy. Salmon was cooked perfectly with lots of moisture. Dessert we order the sorbet and the duo cheesecake. Sorbet was an interesting flavor and the duo cheesecake was two tiny pieces. Drinks were just ok. Two them ordered the rye cocktail and one ordered the purple people eater. She said it tasted like couch medicine. Not a good way to describe her drink. And she also ordered coffee that took 30 minutes to get to our table. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. I think her name was Tiffany Maybe if we all ordered steak we would have had a different experience?! We will try this place on a Tuesday night when they have live music. Will keep you posted

The location is excellent for a spot to walk outside while waiting or after eating. The food here on the other hand was not great. I think the fusion flavors did not meet my pallet one bit. I was lost in all the sauce and wonder of what was trying to be accomplished. The sauce for my spicy wontons tasted like its been sitting in cornstarch and flavor for a bit, and the clams I had was a confusing flavor. The walnut shrimp wraps were just okay and pork shumai was the only decent thing I had there. I would not come here for food again, but they have their location and setting on point. The service was just okay. Our waiter was nice, but I felt as if they were rushing us. We were there for about an hr and I felt a little bit rushed. They close at 11pm and at the time it was 9:45. Would i come again? Probably not, I love the location but there are so many other places nearby to try in the future. I would love this place to suit my pallet, it just does not. 3 stars are just for the atmosphere alone.
