In terms of diner breakfasts this hit the spot. The location is right on the corner of a busy intersection so there's good people watching. The inside looks like it's been renovated relatively recently which is nice because sometimes older diners can be totally falling apart. We got the Philly cheesesteak hash, a mild departure from my usual corned beef hash. The toast was really good and so was the jam, better than the usual diner toast. The Benedict florentine was good although it wasn't my favorite hollandaise sauce. read more

A few days ago I took my mom to Claire's for a birthday brunch with friends. The waitress was so nice and took extra time to ensure mom, who was celebrating her 93rd birthday, enjoyed her meal and friends. After lunch she brought out a cupcake with a birthday candle and sang Happy Birthday. All of the meals looked good, colorful and fresh. They also tasted good. I enjoyed fluffy pancakes and scrambled eggs. Mom had an omelette and crispy potatoes, also very good. Others in our group had sandwiches and fish/chips. All enjoyed. Comfortable seating, bright natural light, and acoustics great for conversation. Be sure to take an opportunity to stop in for great service and wonderful food. read more

Service was great, fun and friendly staff. Food was good. We had the eggs Benny and Reuben. Nothing exceptional and I generally prefer more meat on my sandwich for the price, but had good flavor. I like a restaurant where if you are a regular they remember you and the staff knew/recognized a few around us. Good atmosphere. read more

Another great experience lunch time. I was craving a burger and fries Ordered impossible burger with. Mayo Swiss cheese and lettuce.. service is awesome and ambiance was great. Definitely enjoy coming here. Burger 5/5 fresh delicious Fries 5/5 crispy not soggy fresh and hot! read more

Great diner vibes in Edmonds. There's a ton of options (a few too many if you ask me, overwhelming). Lots of ways you can customize. I ordered pancakes with eggs and bacon. Good pancakes (maybe could be a tad fluffier). The mimosa was the perfect ratio of juice:champ (ie, just a spritz of juice). Service was fast and attentive (coffee refills were frequent). read more

Classic diner vibes right in DT Edmonds. The space is bright and open with a separate bar area that's actually pretty nice. Food is decent and hits the spot, but the service can be a bit on the slower side. Prices also feel a little high for a traditional diner menu. Overall, not bad for a casual, but yet occasional bite. read more

The crispy potatoes are addicting! Excellent eggs Benedict, and the ferry waffle was amazing, with strawberries, blueberries, and bananas and whip cream. Also the coffee is excellent and the service in the past had been subpar but Ana was friendly and welcoming which more than made up for any past experiences. read more

Today was extremely busy because of all the MOMS being celebrated and honored. Food was still great and very flavorful. Coffee kept coming too! We waited a little bit but it was still a nice meal and ambiance was great. No wonder it's super busy. I recommend for breakfast, brunch and dinner. Amazing service! read more

The food is great and the service is even better! We have been eating here for years and it never disappoints. From the chicken fried steak, to the burgers and sandwiches and even the kids meals, it's all good! If you're passing through Edmonds it's a must try! read more

Breakfast food similar to Saw Mill but with a higher price point. ( $65 for breakfast for two) bacon omelette, chicken fried steak & an order of almond toast Service wasn't the best today and they weren't busy in the dining room. Drinks came, food came and then the check came. I had to flag the waitress to get attention. read more

This is your ordinary breakfast diner. After reading the reviews, I was thrilled to try it and wanted some good ole pancakes! I ordered pancakes with eggs and bacon and couldn't wait to dive in only because of the reviews (and I was hungry). The pancakes weren't anything special. In we ready to be wowed, but didn't get there. The whole meal seemed overpriced, but comparable to other restaurants in the area. They had good service and the food came pretty quickly. I would actually give this place 3.5 stars if I could. read more

If you want mediocre hostess treatment and no acknowledgment of being a frequent patron this is the place. As soon as they get a little busy they want to jam you at their counter top. The coffee is diner coffee. Super disappointed how the place treated me after being a regular. Short sided in treating the regulars who gave them business through the winter months. Don't forget your base when you get a little more volume in the 4 nice months. Many better dining options in Edmonds. What this place had was a comfortable environment for locals. Sorry to see the new management lost its understanding of what supports them all year long (or did). read more

Every year when I come back to Edmonds Washington, I have to stop by here in her breakfast at least two times but you have to check out the amazing bar! They've done some remodeling and it is spectacular! I personally don't drink alcohol, but I have to tell you if you want to sit and watch the game? Or if you want to sit back and enjoy some good food and have sort of a festive environment? This is the place for you. The front of the restaurant is more family oriented, but has a large number of quaint and private seating for people who like to join alone, or in smaller numbers... But if you were celebrating a birthday? Or having a bit involving many people? This is also the place to come. I had a lot of fun with my server, and I really enjoyed the meat lovers omelette with no onions, and no hashbrowns I had to slice of tomatoes, but my friends who joined along had plenty of food to eat, I will tell you that all of the servings were delicious and the portions were incredible. The view is absolutely amazing too. You've got a lovely view of Main Street in Edmonds And all you have to do is look to your right from the front door and you could see the Edmonds ferry dock... This place is absolutely beautiful, but make sure you get there for breakfast or lunch because they do not do dinner. read more

We are regulars at Clair's, today we had an unfortunate experience. My Mom ordered the lite hash browns that comes with onions, bacon and cheddar cheese for $11.95 or something close, for $3.75 you can add two eggs. The hash browns were extra crispy (hard) almost all the way through. The waitress never stopped by to see how our three meals were. When she came to pick the dishes up my Mom mentioned how disappointed she was. She offered a new meal but we were done she declined and asked for it to be taken off the bill, manager comes by says since we at the eggs she was charging us for them. She charged us $6.99 not the $3.75 add on price for TWO eggs. It may be a while till I can talk my Mom into going back to her favorite breakfast place. To say they were less than gracious is an understatement, the cook should have never sent it out nor should the waitress have served it. The manager basically put the blame on my Mom and did not apologize for the terrible food. Disappointed how we were treated. read more

Just skip this place. My son and I have been on a mission to try different brunch spots in the area, just to branch out, so we gave Claire's a chance since we love to walk our dog down on the waterfront in the mornings. I had the meat lover's omelet and somehow even stuffed with Ham, bacon and sausage... it had exactly 0 flavor. The eggs in the omelet weren't seasoned at all before being cooked and were absolutely bland. My son can make a better omelet at home. My son had the chicken fried steak and it was bland as well. Clearly was just a frozen pre-made chicken fried steak, no flavor and subpar all around. There are several better options around Edmonds. As we were leaving we realized that they had seat us in the bar area, my son is only 16 and without asking us we were seated in the 21+ bar area. read more

I've been to Claire's several times over the years. I came for a work Christmas breakfast this year and have to say it's as good as I remember. I had the Joe's Special San Francisco style. It was lovely and the hash browns were cooked perfectly. I'm normally afraid of baby reds, but my coworkers did the crispy potatoes and they looked f'ntastic. Incredible service by the waitress who had to serve probably 25 of us. A definite must try for outstanding breakfast! read more

I'm usually here every Tuesday at noon for my weekly Rotary meetings. Today, I'm here with the husband just because I know they have better coffee than other places and I sure do need coffee today! They especially make good Eggs Benedict without the meat. I like the avocado and spinach Benedict. I also really like the hash browns. They make them crunchy on the outside and nicely cooked on the inside. This is one of the few places that offers Raw Sugar for my coffee. I like the wait staff. They are all so very polite. I return every week and will bring the husband when we need a modest priced meal! read more

The service is great her name is Anna nice smile make a. Good drink Bloody Mary for me

My friend wanted to come here, remembering the great breakfasts she had in the past. I remember the incredible banana cream pie I had here, several years ago. So we were looking forward to a nice breakfast. This was not to be. We first ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice at 11.00 per glass. Just was not satisfied with the quality of the orange juice. Next, we ordered at stack of pancakes to share at 17.00. Bacon with two eggs is 19.00. We are up to 58.00 for a simple breakfast. To order an additional sausage link and eggs is 19.00. This would be 77.00, before tax and tip.Easily 100.00 for breakfast. The breakfast was good, not great. Certainly not worth what they were charging. Lackluster service, poor food was my experience with a nostalgic favorite. You used to have good food Claire's, what happened? read more

What a friendly little breakfast spot! Something you'd be okay with running into you're neighbor at. Simple yummy breakfast and lunch options, from all things generic and good, to tasty plates with a twist. Great pancakes, great service, and a great spot for groups or a slow Sunday breakfast for two. read more

Wow wow wow!!! We loved the food here and LOVED our waitress Drew! Give her a raise she was SUCH A DELIGHT! My husband and I ended up here by chance we had put our name on the waitlist at a different brunch spot and were walking around to kill time. SO GLAD we ended up here we got MUCH better food and service here compared to other Edmonds spots we've been to. Can not recommend this restaurant enough! read more

I've been coming to Claire's since 'I was knee high...'. Granted it's changed ownership, menus change, inflation hits, wages increase, etc. and now COVID. However, none of that explains what we experienced today. Needless to say, it'll be quite a while before we go back (we're suckers for punishment). We just spent over $80 for 3 people. Some may say that's not a bad price and they'd be right-depending in where you go and what you receive. Here's a quick breakdown of our bill (receipt attached) 3-drinks: 2-colas 1-iced tea. $3.99 each. Comment: ummm... did the price of water go up? 'Cause I know it doesn't run anywhere near $3.99 to make fountain drinks or iced tea. We're talking pennies on the dollar here. Burger Dip w/one side. My hubby chose to 'upgrade' to a CUP of soup for $2.50. And it was a tiny cup at that. So, in his words, I got two pieces of bread with a hamburger patty and a cup of au jus for $16.75. The cup of soup was like a pity ... given the size of it, and he could've gotten fries or potato salad included in the price. And the potato salad would've been the same size as the soup! My daughter ordered fish and chips for $18.95 with an upgrade to garlic Parmesan fries for $1.99 more. When she got her dish there were something in the vicinity of 10 fries. And a massive amount of fried rice sticks (plate filler???). We complained to the waitress about the quantity of fries (in the past she has always gotten at least double the amount of fries-they're not huge steak fries or anything) so she got us more. 20 minutes later she brings out a side of garlic Parmesan fries. And we're charged $9.95 addition. Now, this is ON TOP of the 'upgrade' we paid for with the original paltry amount of fries received. I ordered a taco salad bowl for $15.55 which was huge and delicious. Hence the one-star rating. Otherwise it would be zero if I could do that. I WOULD order that again. Very delicious and fresh. And huge. I have no idea what has happened to that restaurant, but it appears the new owners/management are cashing in on the COVID price increases we're seeing everywhere. In addition to 'we're in Edmonds! Everything costs more in Edmonds'. Like I said, it'll be a long while before we go back. Maybe if you go by yourself or as a couple your wallet won't get so shell-shocked. read more

Claire's rocks old school breakfast/brunch. Delicious Avocado Omelette and pals loved the Chorizo Omelette - excellent slightly greasy hash browns (only brunch spot in Edmonds offering trad hash browns? - perfectly fried (the many elegant roasted potatoes offered other places will never match). Can I get an English Muffin instead of Toast? Absolutely. Service excellent. read more

If you are looking for a great spot for breakfast or lunch Claire's is the place to go. They have an awesome bacon bloody Mary, they have a great environment, food is super tasty, and the prices are reasonable. The staff are awesome, and I particularly love sitting in the back room because it's kind of separated away from the rest of the restaurant and has a more intimate feeling. I love their club sandwich in particular. For whatever reason it is consistently excellent. The fries are good, and as weird as this sounds, their honey mustard is fire too. Support Claire's! My server was Drew the last time I was in there, and she was AMAZING. Super helpful and fun to chat with. read more

The food is average, but the service is pathetic!! We reached the restaurant at 11.30AM on mother's day fully expecting delays. But we finally got the food at 1:10 PM after asking for it 3 times!!!! The owner didn't even have the curtesy to say sorry .... very disappointed by their behavior. The waitress argued that their grill is not big enough ( meaning in proportion to the size of the restairant and how many they can accomodate) like that is my problem and I should understand! NEVER GOING BACK THERE AGAIN! read more

The place is super spacious, but if you come later around 10-11 there will be a line. We came around 8:50, found parking easily, seated right away. The wait staff are super friendly and attentive, they come by often to provide coffee refills and make sure we have all that we need. The food was good, their Italian sausage is more like a regular pork sausage. We got the lemon blueberry French toast and a build your own omelet. It is on the pricey side but would come again! read more

Food was good. Service okay. The price point is off. I don't have any bad things to say about this place, it's just nothing special. Even in Edmonds, the land of $30 hamburgers, you can go to a higher end place for breakfast and still pay roughly around the same that you would here, which is the biggest reason I'm unlikely to return, as an Edmonds resident. read more

Wow sad to see such bad reviews for Claire's. My family and I love Claire's restaurant. It's our go to restaurant for a casual meal. It reminds me of a family type cafe. The food is good with large portions. The service for the most part is excellent. But like I said we've been here many times. So we've had a few times with okay service but never bad. I would really recommend this restaurant. read more

This is not "A" diner. This is "THE" diner. You want pancakes, the Edmonds Special, waffles...Just a minute. You want a Club sandwich, a Patty Melt, with a Soup and/or Salad. They got ya. You want a steak, burger, or some other slaughtered four legged animal. Put a fork in it. You want a friendly waitress, that will be there this and next time. Get to know her or his name. Chances are, you will be a repeat customer. The prices are fair. The food is diner fancy. The place is a staple that binds the historical stack of menus of past and present of Edmonds. read more

One of the best places to have a family breakfast. The staff are super friendly, the place well maintained, and oh the condiment bottles clean! Yay. The Joe scramble Edmonds way was just the right serving size, albeit serving size is smaller compared to before. But the perfect amount of goodness. We will be back time and again. We used to visit the Lake City branch, that location closed awhile ago. I love this new place by far. read more
