In long We heard great things about this place even before it opened; the grapevine just had awesome news about this space finally turning into something that would stick. We pulled up today and immediately noticed the outdoor play area for the kids. It's cordoned off by oak wine barrels, so they're kinda blending their concepts artfully before you even walk in. We're not *that* local, but we definitely buy the idea that there are few, if any, great kid-friendly places around here. Inside, it might be pretty packed already. There are big heavy wooden tables, with more upstairs. You can push them together for groups. You get laminated menus, and they do have table service, or you can order at the counter. They very carefully manage all their beers, wines, ciders, canned cocktails, and so on. Rumor has it they lured a brewer away from Urban Family and will be churning out their own stuff soon. We checked out 2 things from the regular menu and 3 from the HH menu. It wasn't too packed at first, but by 4:00 the regulars, families, and HH crowd were really filling it up. Wines We tried the pinot grigio, red blend, chardonnay, and rosé from the by-the-glass menu. They're all good enough to order most any place, and finding them by the glass shows they're putting real thought into all the details here. Miso pickles Absolutely ridiculously good. Nice seasoning, tart miso flavor, crunchy fresh cauliflower, carrot, and cukes. Would not only order again but attempt to reverse-engineer these and have them at home. Great HH value. Fried pickles Great with or without the cheese that's softened on some (but not all) of the piles. Awesome dipping crema with a bit of kick from hot peppery seasoning. Drummies No longer offered with green buffalo sauce, which sounds like a sad farewell, based on the description of it (jalapeño & vinegary hot sauce, I think). But the gochujang was buttery and peppery. They pressure-fry the wings so they are crazy tender and moist. Humongous drums, too. Awesome HH value--true, you get only 2, but there's plenty of veg in the bowl. Smashburger Another fantastic HH menu item. Nice fresh crunchy toppings, hearty roll, and beautifully seasoned and cooked patty. Not too crunchy, which I appreciate. Easy to imagine someone ordering more than one and getting way too full. Smokey Dipper Regular menu. Awesome grilled steak flavor to the meat, got some salty broccoli mixed in for crunch and variety. The broc would be a good appetizer on its own! Hearty, savory jus, and the onion rings are out of this world. Even I couldn't finish them all, despite how great they tasted. Super generous portion. The staff here are all free spirits and great conversationalists, which is super nice to see. Nothing about this place feels like a chain in any way, although they clearly put real money into the buildout. Such a welcome addition to Lake.

I've passed by this establishment and always wondered about it. At first entrance it was amazing…read morethe vibes were right! We quickly were able to find a table and were greeted by such a wonderful waitress. She was truly a gem. She bantered with us and gave us speedy top notch service. However, this part does not reflect her or anyone foh; I ordered the fish and chip bucket and was presented with what I can only describe as the box of turkish delights bequeathed to Edmund in the chronicles of Narnia. That night I ended up praising my toilet all night. I thought maybe someone spiked my 6 beers but then remembered I only had the 2. I haven't been sicker than a got dang dog like that in a real long time. I don't think there's anyway to describe the scene in my bathroom other than 1970s Vietnam war crimes.

In long This is kind of a nice strip mall complex, as these things go. BI has an end unit with a dining room toward the front and a lounge tucked in back. Both were busy today with a late-breakfast crowd. I had some time to kill and figured I wouldn't feel too bad taking up a table at a place this big. They're promoting breakfast with a big banner out front at the moment, which it turns out you order at the counter. I'm immediately guilt-free about taking up a table if they aren't sending servers out, just expediters. Dig it. They put a tray of ice waters on the counter--they've clearly dialed up the at-the-counter vibe to near table-service levels. I got an omelet and a coffee. They gave me a little table number and the expo brought my stuff out pretty quickly. I gotta say both the girls working today were super friendly and nice and made the place feel much more welcoming than another BI I hit a while back. The coffee here was surprisingly good--not overly roasted, solid flavor. The mug was from the roaster, whose name I've already forgotten. Kinda showing some pride in their coffee efforts. The food was decent. Clearly everything was out of a bag--processed cheese, egg mix rather than cracked shells. But good, despite the cheese being a little gluey. Hash browns had good flavor and crunch, biscuit was alright, too. Easy to finish, even though this was a little more food than I really needed today. Prices here are very fair. And I gotta say that big groups of friends filled every table and half the booths. Both rooms of the lounge were hoppin', too, and it was in between typical rush hours for breakfast or lunch. I think this BI might be the more-dependable link in the chain.

Flooding this week caused a synchronistic epic failure on the trestle. My plans to resupply at the…read moreEverett Chef's store has now been twice thwarted: last night and now today around 12:00 noon. Undaunted, I decided to pay a visit to the Lake Stevens Tom Thumb on the way back after escaping the pending mind numbing experience of gridlock. A few weeks ago I read a glib mention of good Chinese food being offered there for lunch. A good time to check it out. (Really? "Good" Chinese food? At TT ?) Frankly, I wasn't too eager to check it out. But the short mention I had read had the ring of a true believer. Someone who approached food with some reverence. Best not to ignore fate. Saturday noon time at the Thumb wasn't busy. I chalked that up to the flooding or just plain luck. The hot food section had a few odds and ends but nothing Asian. I asked about the Chinese food to a female customer nearby. In a hushed voice laced with fanaticism she handed me a menu pamphlet and said the bacon fried rice was her favorite. Then gave me a knowing look as if to say I was in the good hands of Providence. The manager was quick to show up. He greeted me warmly, made sure I had a menu, took my order, and offered me a place to sit and wait. A quick scan showed all the usual favorites of beef/shrimp, Chow Mein/Rice, chicken, appetizers, and vegetarian dishes. Dishes were easily recognizable by name. One or two rice dishes that I've never seen before. And several lunch special dishes. Three sauces are explained to aid in your decision making. I chose a dinner portion of sesame chicken. My experience with this dish in many places is the same: pre frozen breast meat that's been dipped in a batter. Then flash frozen and packaged. Or it is dredged in flour or dipped in a batter, then fried to a semi hard tensile strength in dark clumps. The line cook fries a portion in hot oil, then it is drained and sauced with honey or maybe maple syrup and soy sauce and brown sugar. Sometimes it's darker in color due to overcooking in oil or adding too much soy sauce. Since it is a chicken dish, it requires one to wade through a fried dough experience first, with the sauce adding to the experience. The sauce is typically overly sweet. Too much honey, sugar, or syrup. After the third bite it's just too sweet. One could compare it to a chicken filled super glazed donut. So it was either the sesame chicken or the other dish I frequently find disappointing: Orange chicken. I chose the sesame. Let's see what these folks can do. In less than ten minutes it was ready. I was thanked for coming by and was on my way home. I could tell from the weight I had about two pounds of sesame chicken. I was right: 1.92 pounds when I weighed it at home. The portion was huge. And some skill in presentation was added. Just enough to frame the dish: broccoli florets. That little addition did not go unnoticed. It made the dish pop when I opened the container. The chicken was obviously fresh. Not frozen. It had been coated with flour and corn starch. Fried but not to the point of it being crusty. Chewy. Not dry or tough. Moist. Chewy. Not doughy. The sauce was not overly sweet. The chef exercised restraint and allowed the sweetness to come through, but not dominate. I could taste sesame. After appreciating the dish, I tried adding some of the soy sauce from a packet they supplied. A slightly different complex of flavors but the chicken and sesame dominated. It provided a balanced harmony. Not better. Slightly different. So for $17.45 (including tax), a very well executed sesame chicken with the portion easily feeding two adults. Take out only. Fast and friendly service until 9 PM. My thanks to anyone who posts even a snippet of something about a place to give us a heads up. Had I not read that short comment about this place, I would have missed out. To that perThank you!
