    Fried salmon meal with coleslaw.
    Cheryl S.

    A wonderful fish house with every thing cooked perfectly! This place is clean, excellent health dept. rating, friendly staff, and good sized-portions of fish. For $15, I had a 3-piece fish and chips with cod. Cooked perfectly! Cod has great oils in its meat and doesn't dry out, but the fish was beer-battered and flaking with ultimate tenderness! Fries were crispy. I ordered the house tartar sauce. Our table had shared a side of clams and chowder. Clams were tender and not over cooked at all. The chowder felt like a meal in every bite. It was thick and packed with all the tummies like callous, clams, etc. amazing were the prices for what you get. Very reasonable. I am visiting the area and would LOVE to return every visit back Normandy Park. Very nice menu. Order at counter. Highly recommend!

    blackened salmon tacos

    The blackened salmon tacos are so amazing every time I get them. The apple mango salsa is actually so amazing! Food comes out pretty quick as well. I also recommend the clam chowder.

    Lots of choices, I picked the blackened Halibut tacos (2) with flour tortillas. Super fresh, the pico del galleo was a really nice addition. The Chipotle- Ranch sauce, with heavy application was a little sweet for my taste. I tried the habanero tartar sauce which I thought was a better marriage. Eager to return. While it's fast casual, the service and reception was warm and friendly.

    We ordered halibut and salmon tacos with a 32 ounce seafood chowder. Chowder was excellent, salmon was good and appeared fresh. Halibut was a bit of a dissappointment....would have expected better taste in Tacoma/ Seattle. On balance the experience was good.

    About 2 miles from the Seattle airport in a nondescriptive strip mall, you can find perfectly fried cod and fish and chips served with cold local beer. The staff is lovely and helpful. the food came quickly. Free parking in the lot in front of the restaurant.

    Cool sign and sports on tv.

    Burien fish house is a gem tucked away in Burien (10 mins from Southcenter). You get what you pay for and here it's good and plentiful! My husband and I stopped here after a barber cut and we k ew exactly what we wanted: fish tacos and chowder. We split a 2 piece grilled cod.... Why???? Because they are huge, double stuffed and full of fish. The toppings are fresh and are just that: toppings (not 2/3-34 of the taco)! We paired it with 2 cups of seafood chowder. The chowder is super thick, spoon standing straight up thick. Truth be told, after finishing the taco, I had to take the chowder home to eat it. My husband finished both at the restaurant, he loved the chowder. The ambiance is casual and BURIEN cool.

    Restaurant is clean and the employees are always friendly! I go here often for the fish tacos - Cod, beer battered, flour tortilla. My parents get tacos or the fish and chips, we enjoy it all! I don't really go anywhere else for fish tacos because they use this delicious chipotle type sauce. Highly recommend!

    We love the fish house! It's very clean, and the staff are always friendly. The tacos are a true star and we always make sure to at least place an order to share. Their sauces are also not to be skipped, their chipotle ranch and tarter are amazing. It's our favorite fish/taco spot and we take all of our friends from out of town here.

    Captain's Platter with Cole Slaw and House Tartar
    Christian-Immanuel C.

    Ordered for pickup on Door Dash and the employees were very friendly with the pick up and made sure to call my name once it was ready. It was pretty packed for a Friday night and for my first time there, I was already looking forward to the eat the food at home with how many people were ordering for both dine in and take out. They have a lot of seating. It was nice knowing that you can bring a big party here and they'd have the room for it. Be aware that the main lot may get pretty packed due to the multiple restaurants in the same plaza but there's plenty of street parking! After delivering part of my order and then going home, it was a little under an hour before I finally a got to eat my Captain's Platter so it wasn't the most crispy but definitely still delicious. Haven't had beer battered fish in so long and I will say that this one will be memorable as the different fish were cooked perfectly under the coating. The Habanero Tartar sauce was good but I was expecting it to be a bit spicier; it was still flavorful though and had that a small kick.

    Food was ok. Haven't been here in years, service was fine. Ordered the cod fish and chips with sweet potato fries. One piece of my two piece order was inedible. The jalapeno tartar sauce was good. Tried the blackened fish and that was tasty.

    Lobster Roll, Clam Chowder, and Cod, Shrimp, & Clam strips combo - EXCELLENT! @Burien Fish House
    Jessica P.

    Just 9-mins away from Seattle-Tacoma Intl Airport (SEA)! I flew in from Vegas and was feeling hangry after the long wait times at baggage claim and the rental car facility. Instead of driving into Seattle Downtown to eat, we detoured to the small town of Burien and found this gem: Burien Fish House. We had the Lobster Roll, Cod/Fried Shrimp & Clams Combo, Coleslaw, and Clam Chowder. Hit the spot! Pleasantly surprised with everything we ordered and would definitely return, even when not hangry! The bun for the Lobster Roll was so soft and fluffy. The lobster meat was prepared chilled with diced celery & red bell peppers. The highlight for me was actually the Coleslaw, possibly made of a yogurt dressing instead of mayo, with a touch of green raisins. The Clam Chowder was hearty and more on the creamy side. For the deep fried Cod, Shrimp, and Clams, we chose panko style and it was excellent. Service was great! Order your food at the window, then find a table in the spacious dining area. The kitchen staff will deliver your meal to your table with a smile. Plenty of parking directly in front. There are other eateries in the small center, so I imagine it could get congested.

    Chowder.  Yum.  I forgot to take a shot *prior* to enjoying.   :D

I've been here a couple of times now, and everything I've had has been memorable, which is not something I say lightly about sandwiches- a category that can betray you! The Ragnar's Club is a stellar concoction of herb roasted chicken breast, bacon, cheese, and apple jalapeño slaw. It's a delicious mess. The kind where things are happening all at once and every single thing is a good idea. Absolutely outstanding. On my most recent visit, I had the Fidel Cashflow, which features some of the most tender, perfectly seasoned pork belly I've had on a sandwich. It's like an Uber Cubano--familiar, comforting, but leveled up with serious execution. Two visits, two excellent sandwiches, which now has me fully convinced that everything on the menu is as good as it looks. I trust them. I would let them choose my sandwich destiny. Service is super friendly. You order at the counter, but you're met with genuine smiles and a helpful, welcoming attitude that makes you feel like you made a very good life choice. Parking isn't the easiest, but you'll figure it out. The space itself is tiny, with just a few tables, so while you can eat there, a lot of people seem to grab it to go--presumably to eat it somewhere quiet and reflect on how good it was. Sandwich shops are a dime a dozen. Really good ones are a special find. This is a really good one. Destination-worthy

I got here at 11 and there was a line if 10 people with every table full. The line doe move quick, but be prepared to eat outside (or take it to go) during peak times. I got the smashwich and fruity pebbles rice krispy. We also got the matcha shokupan donut to share. Everything was excellent. The house made sausage patty on the smashwich complemented the whole sandwich well; it was crispy, fatty with amazing flavor. Pro tip if you have the passport app you can save 20% off! Only downside - I think their space is somewhat awkward for seating and overall flow. However they are doing what they can with what they have so it's not a knock on them per se, just putting it out there that the flow is a little off especially when busy.

    Breakfast sandwich was the perfect balance of spice and texture (with the perfect runny yolk and…read morecrunch from the hash brown). The biscuit was good but I wish they gave you the option to warm it up. The rice krispie s'mores was not too sweet and the density was just right. I wish they did smaller sizes so you could try the different flavors or a smaller option. The brown butter bourbon latte had just the right amount of carmely, richness to it. I wish the service was more consistent. The first cashier seemed upset and wasn't very friendly. The second when I ordered coffee was much more pleasant.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the iced Cardi B (a latte with house-made…read morecardamom brown sugar syrup with espresso and almond milk) and my fiance an iced mocha. The first sip of the Cardi B, my eyes rolled back, and I nodded to how good it was. It's not too sweet (I ordered all of this online on their website for pick up and was not able to ask for it half sweet, but glad they didn't over-sweeten it). The cardamom flavor is prominent, so if you don't like that flavor, I'd choose something else. I also ordered some breakfast items. I got the Lil' Verda, which is a breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa verde ( I also added sausage to it). It's pretty tasty! It's a big burrito for being on a medium flour tortilla. I got the fiancé a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun (you can choose what bread you want; they even have gluten-free) that came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and I added bacon for him (adding a meat was only $2, which is reasonable). As I said, I pre-ordered everything on their online ordering system. My order was ready when I got there as promised. The staff member who helped me was super nice and pointed out where the hot sauce (Tapatio) and straws were. They do have separate windows for ordering and pickup. If you order online, just head to the pick-up window. It is a little spendy (breakfast sandwich w/ added meat $10.75, burrito w/ added sausage $12.75, and two espresso drinks at roughly $8 and some change), however, everything is going up in price (Gas is up to $5.09 +), so take that as you will. Overall, it's a cute little spot nestled in a neighborhood. There is street parking, but it's in an area that isn't too hard to find parking, as it is further away from the very busy spots of West Seattle. I'd come back, perhaps take the fiancée there so we can enjoy it fresh.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but it was 50/50 for me. The weekend special Reuben croissant…read morewas fantastic but the breakfast burrito was not great. Also, the menu on the wall is not super helpful because there are no prices listed for the base breakfast sandwich or prices for additional fillings or toppings. So if you don't ask for prices or look online (there's a QR code on the menu, I apparently skipped over this when ordering), you might end up spending a good chunk of change for your breakfast sandwich. It's around $8.75 for the base (bread, eggs, cheese) + $2ish per filling/meat + $1-3 per topping + Sauces are $0.50 Reuben croissant: asked for this warmed and the outside of the croissant was flaky and delicious, meat was yum, sauerkraut added a nice texture and acidity, and there was a sauce in there was was tasty too! Really enjoyed this one Super burrito: comes with eggs, bacon, cheese, black beans, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. It was tough to find the bacon or taste it because it was cut in small pieces. The black beans were sweet and they overpowered the whole thing with sweetness. The arugula didn't add much and was kind of annoying because it was clumped in one bite and hard to chew through. The size was great, but that's about it unfortunately.
