    Red curry seafood gumbo
    Russell R.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great location great, ambience great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food highly recommend. The red seafood Curry was amazing.

    Surf and Turf!!!! Super fresh!!!!

    My children and I were visiting family in Washington and someone suggested we try Budd Bay Cafe! So happy they did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The views of the marina were amazing! Especially since we came at sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a big party so I can only review what my kids and I ate, but everything looked amazing! I had the surf and turf and it was fantastic! The lobster was a little cold but the hot lemon butter sauce was hot so it made up for the cold. My steak was made exactly how I ordered! My children ate shrimp pasta and they ate all of it! Which is rare so I know it was good! The service was outstanding! The pricing was to be expected as it was seafood! The waiter was on it even with the big party! Thank you when we get back to Washington we will definitely be back!!!

    Amazing clam chowder and all around fantastic food taste. Service was a bit lacking and slow We came on a Monday before 1pm.

    This was the special menu, fillet with stuffed lobster tail and roasted veggie with a side of Starch
    Theodore S.

    Food was amazing and delicious, portion was perfect and the soup was delicious and filling! The meat was tender and the calamari was crisp and fresh! Of course the bread was probably the best bread we have had in awhile! Service was top tier even on a busy day! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the atmosphere was amazing, by the dock so we can look at the water and peope walking by![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely deserve a second visit! Thank you for having us on a Valentine's Day !

    Chicken Parmesan
    Faith F.

    Such a disappointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dated atmosphere and subpar food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good. The rolls are hard, the crab cakes were peppery, the chicken parm was confusing. Sliced rubbery chicken that was pre sliced, floating in a watery Alfredo, topped with cold marinara, and sliced Parmesan that didn't melt. It was inedible and thankfully was taken off the check. Would not recommend, will not return.

    Caesar Salad and side of king crab legs
    Michelle J.

    Nice waterfront location. We sat next to the window and had a nice view of the water. Staff were super friendly but service was so slow. We were there for almost 2.5 hours and most of that time was waiting. We had ordered a coconut shrimp appetizer and it never came. I guess the server realized it and brought us out a fried shrimp appetizer with a side of fries. My colleague told him we had ordered the coconut shrimp. He told her since it took so long g the cook added fries and this was going to be free so. . . it was kinda like he was implying, "just deal with it". We did have fresh sourdough rolls. So good. . . but sourdough is my fav! I didn't really see anything small on the menu and all I wanted was king crab legs. So I ordered a small Caesar salad and a side of crab legs. The crab was so good. I wasn't expecting 2 legs! I ate the crab and took home the salad and had it the next day. I don't even remember what my colleagues ordered but they seemed satisfied with their orders. As good as the 2 crab legs were, they were not worth the $43. Will I be back? Most definitely and hopefully with my husband or someone I can share a plate with.

    Dungeness Crab Melt
    Jadon M.

    Amazing food and great job plating. Friendly and attentive staff. Cool view of the water. Over all a very good experience. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

    The food was average nothing special. The most positive statement I can make is that I didn't feel ripped off.

    So I've lived less than five minutes from this place for 11 years, and somehow it never caught my…read moreeye. Then I saw their TikTok last night, and let me tell you, that video had me craving it instantly. The scrumptiousness was living rent free in my brain all night, so today my son and I had to stop in and see what the hype was about. We ordered the Sour Diesel, the Fire, and the Afgoo, all on their toasted jalapeño cheese bread. First of all, the female employee who helped us was so friendly and welcoming. We do not eat out much, so we were genuinely excited and maybe a little impatient to try them. When they handed us the sandwiches, I immediately noticed how heavy they were. And the smell in the car on the way home, oh my goodness. Pure torture waiting to unwrap them. Then we got home and opened them up, and I was honestly shocked in the best way. There was actually a MEAL on that bread. Not one of those sad sandwiches that's 80 percent lettuce and air. These were loaded. My teenage son even commented on how good his was, and trust me, teen approval is not handed out lightly. The portions were generous, the flavors were bold, and each sandwich was totally unique and delicious. I can confidently say I have found a new favorite sub spot. Total hidden gem if you love a good sandwich that actually fills you up and tastes incredible. I did not grab a shake this time because it was freezing outside, but after seeing all the flavor options on the menu, I will absolutely be trying one next visit. Highly recommend in every aspect. I love when you try somewhere new and it completely exceeds expectations. This one is a must try.

    Cool cafe with pretty mid food…read more The ambiance inside is really relaxing; plenty of comfortable seating with plenty of plants around to make a warm and inviting space. The cafe is attached to a store, but that doesn't really affect the cafe all that much. The tablecloths used have a tendency to slide around very easily. We got the tempe blt panini and tempeh Ruben panini with their fries. The fries and ketchup were the best tasting item. You can add extras to the sandwiches, but that gets pretty pricey pretty fast. I added on avocado for $2, which was left off my sandwich so be sure to check that your food is correct. They did give me a small cup of avocado when I went up to the front, but I unfortunately did not notice it was missing until I had already eaten half of my sandwich. The food itself was a bit greasy. Not too overwhelming, but enough that it affected the meal. The sandwiches are pretty small, but filling enough for a lunch sized portion. Beyond food, everything else is self service (water, napkins, utensils). Not bad unless you have limited mobility, then it will be difficult to maneuver around the tables to the small cramped corner that everything else is located. When a gentleman asked the staff if they would bring him a fork (needed assistance walking), the staff only pointed again where the utensils were located before walking away.
