The artichoke dip was nice and creamy but not heavy .
Howie X.

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 !

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!

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.

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!

Menu isn't huge, but I've had many items and they all have been good. Best restaurant close to angle of the winds arena.

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!

Omg, okay so Friday night date night, first Friday of the month, which apparently matters (more on…read morethat later). We roll up to the Colby Club in Everett, and honestly? 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.

Super neat spot in Everett!! Came here on a weekday night and made a reservation online in advance…read more We were immediately seated at a nice booth spot in the restaurant. The lighting in the restaurant is ambient/dark. The prices weren't too bad! I ordered the steak tartare, bone marrow and beef wellington which was pretty good! Service was excellent! Parking: Free lot in the back

Went there last night with the wife and friends. Our original intent was just Happy Hour but ended…read moreup also ordering from the main menu. The vibe is good, kind of like an underground restaurant would be back in the day. Service was very good; very attentive. The food is really overpriced however for what you get. The HH menu is good and that seems to be the better deal vs. dinner. Drinks were OK but they really need more tap beers than just pouring from a can. That's really weak for such a pricey place. Very disappointing. I had the chicken remoulade which was very overpriced for the quantity of food. It consisted of a single "smallish" chicken thigh with cauliflower and sauce. It was tasty but not at all filling. It needed more sauce as well. The ladies had a couple salads and yes they were overpriced for what you got. If you go, just stick with the HH menu and you won't be disappointed. I will not come back simply because it's just way too expensive and I'd rather get a better deal on a great dinner than this place.
