Beer battered prawn tacos
Felicia S.

A good, quick, local lunch option. Order was complete including sauces. I tried the prawns fish tacos. Portions were well, nice big pieces of beer batter prawns. Slaw was good. Perfectly stuffed taco. Side of sweet potato fries. It was a to go order.Fries were soggy, but you can tell they were cut fresh. Tasted well. Enjoyed the jalapeño tartar sauce but it did have more of a pickle flavor. Was it the best ever no, was it enjoyable yes. It close to my work and would eat there it again.

Fried salmon meal with coleslaw.

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 Halibut
Rob B.

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.

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.

Fried cod & blackened salmon fish taco with chips
GiGi G.

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.

Beer battered cod fish tacos
Sophia S.

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!

Clam Strips, Halibut Tacos (panko), and Shrimp Tacos (panko w/ sauce and pico on side)
Lindsey B.

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.

About 2 dozen beers and ciders on tap. Nice big bar and friendly staff…read more Food was good and good portions. Noise level is average. This was a stop before heading to the airport and would consider coming again. Downside is that it's in a strip mall and limited parking.

The last time that I came here was in 2015. I gave this 3 stars. For this review, if I had to…read moreselect a title it would be "disappointment". My husband and I were visiting the Burien Farmer's Market and decided to stop in for lunch here. The day before our area experienced a heat wave. Apparently this effected this place of business. There were fans going everywhere, no a/c in place; I was hesitant to enter and I should have gone with my instincts. It wasn't awful so that we couldn't stand it, so we stayed. We had a very friendly waitress, wish I could remember her name but she was very good. I ordered a peach tea and my husband ordered a cider, I believe it was pineapple and another fruit based. I ordered the Ahi Taco Wrap and my husband ordered the Luna Fish and Chips. My husband's drink arrived with an apology from another server as she poured the wrong drink for him. He was gracious and took it anyway. Out come our plates. I tasted my husbands fish and found it seriously lacking in flavor; nothing great here. Now let's get to my Ahi wrap; I had serious issues with this.This includes tuna, avocado, cilantro lime coleslaw with chipotle aioli and lime on the side. House made chips and salsa were included. The wrap was hugely disappointing. The ratio of tuna to coleslaw was seriously off. 90 percent of this wrap was coleslaw. The chips weren't fresh and the salsa was just ok, had a sweet type of base, which I don't like in my salsa. The lime included was stale and I couldn't get a drop out of this. The chipotle was so so. The coleslaw had no distinctive cilantro lime flavor. This dish was entirely disappointing and priced at 19.95. Never again. My husband's dish had two pieces of fish and was priced at 18.50. So after the cost of the drinks, the meal was over 60. Shame on us for a few things: 1. For not looking closely at the prices 2. And for most importantly, for simply not grabbing a decently priced hot dog at the farmers market. I'm positive this would have been better and a better deal. We will not be back to this place. The only reason I gave this a one star was for the waitress and the peach tea. Seriously.

for someone who comes to burien with regularity and has tried a lot of the food establishments…read morealong 152nd, shame on me for not having been to classic eats before now. on this saturday night, there were a lot of occupied tables, both inside and out and many happy, satisfied customers as we walked past to our table on the back at patio. i was drawn to the salads on the menu but ended up getting a shrimp po'boy which was huge and easily enough to share with someone; instead i took half of it home. the sweet potato fries were fabulous and our server was very attentive. if you have a vegetarian among you, i'd say they may have limited options because the menu is heavy on chicken, beef and other dishes with sausage and assorted meats. still, i found something and it was quite good! the front area seemed more lively with the bar and open seating al fresco. the back seemed dedicated to larger groups. it astounds me in all my years of coming to burien i have never tried classic eats but now that i have, i will be recommending it to others and coming back myself. it's clearly a beloved destination for locals and now i'm applying to membership of the iykyk club.

The fish was delicious, and the breading stayed crisp, and wasn't oily at all. A+ Fries, lightly seasoned, and even the slaw was good with just a light sweetness. Don't skip this spot! Small in-store dining area, and not busy at all on a Friday afternoon.

This place was good! Service was wonderful and kind. There's only 3 tables that seat 2 and 2…read morecounters that seat maybe 2-3 each. For food, I got the special, which I would recommend. It came with 2 pieces of cod, fries or coleslaw (I chose coleslaw. It does NOT come with raisins which I was very pleased about), tartar sauce, a drink, and 3 prawns. Prawns were my favorite part of the meal. Perfectly cooked. Coleslaw was pretty good, a little sweet, and helped cut all the oil. Cod and prawns were crunchy and not overly oily. My bf got the 3 piece cod which came with fries. The fries were dry, which means they were probably over fried. Clam chowder was pretty darn good. Mac n cheese was good but ultimately it reminded me of the mac n cheese I'd eat as a kid from frozen TV dinners, which made me nostalgic so not sure how to feel. Think I saw someone else say the pasta was overcooked. I wouldn't say it's overcooked but it's not al dente either. Tartar sauce is not free here! 79 cents each. I would recommend TWO containers for 1 order. I got 1 serving of tartar, which came with the special, and it was not enough for 2 piece cod + 3 prawns. We ordered another 1 serving of tartar for my bf and it was not enough for his 3 piece cod either. Overall my bf and I both separately came to the conclusion that it feels "homemade". Like stuff a family would make at home.
