Chicken Counfry Fried Steak and Eggs Breakfast

Adam R.

YES, this is a great place that everyone needs to give a try. It's a local chef-owned establishment with great food, decent service, overall what you would expect. It does get a little loud but that's because it's hopping! We have been here twice and both times have been good. The triple stack French toast was not as good as I had hoped but I can see why it's a favorite. Fortunately the food is overall very good. Probably the only negative, on our first visit, I asked if they had or could do an iced coffee. It was middle of summer and like 9:00 in the morning. The waitress said no, we can't do that, we only have hot coffee. I wasn't thinking fast enough to just order coffee and ask for a glass of ice, so I went with water.

I met up with a college friend and her friend visiting from Vancouver to see the Savannah Bananas and stop by the Chihuly Garden and Glass. We decided to check out Classic Eats in Burien for breakfast (9/20/25). I had stopped by a nearby cookie shop, bookstore, and pizza site, but this was a first visit to Classic Eats. We met up right at their 9am opening. Love the interior decor. Disco balls galore and the most animated waitstaff. I wanted just about everything on the menu, but decided to try their breakfast burrito. It was generous, flavor packed, and nicely plated. They seemed to enjoy their breakfast choices and the coffee. It was nice to catch up and not feel rushed after spending 90 minutes onsite. As we were settling our bills, by sheer coincidence another Yelp Elite and her daughter were seated diagonal from us. Great overall first impression, definitely merits a return visit or two or three...yes, definitely recommended!

One of my new fav spots for breakfast! Came here before the big superbowl game and left feeling like Seattle had already one the superbowl. We walked in and the hostess was there and some guy in the kitchen said the hostess would be right back. Turns out he was the owner! Nice guy! We were seated immediately. This restaurant is a Creole inspired and it was delicious. I was torn between the shrimp and grits or the jambalaya. The waitress said everyone comes here for the jambalaya. Sold! I was licking the plate clean! Delicious. It has shrimp, sausage and chicken over cheesy grits. Heavenly. We also ordered the traditional breakfast. I can't wait go back and try more. I was eyeing the chicken and waffles hot honey chicken as well! See you again Tony!

Came here without high expectations but ended up loving it! This place is your classic neighborhood diner-bar combo that serves breakfast and brunch. Parking was easy -- there's a lot in the back. The servers were super friendly and kept checking in to see if we needed anything. I got excited when I saw grits on the menu before coming. We ordered the Jambalaya Grits and Chicken & Waffles. Finding a spot in the West Coast that actually does grits well is rare, but they nailed it here -- truly delicious! As for the Chicken & Waffles, I was a bit surprised that the chicken came as wings, but they were crispy, sweet, and really tasty. The waffle was a little dense, but still good. And the mimosa double was only $8 (single for $4)! A surprisingly great brunch -- everything hit the spot. I'll definitely be back!

My Family I reserved the private seating area for the finale of My Godmother's Surprise 70TH Birthday weekend. Food~it's a few items I had in mind the chicken and Belgian Waffles, the Eggs Benedict combo, and the French Toast combo. I decided on the French Toast because a few family members were raving about it. But, I was disappointed when it arrived it was lukewarm w/ a few pieces of toast were burnt, eggs were fried hard (ask for over medium), and, the bacon was undercooked. I had viewed several photos and reviews before I made my final choice but, you always should go with your first choice. I did send the bacon but, to be cooked longer but, I ate the rest of my food as is. I normally wouldn't do that but, we were in a large party and, I was extremely hungry before we even arrived. A few other family members experience the same but, requested it to be prepared again. Service~Our waiter was Adam he was super nice and, extremely helpful by making sure everyone was accommodated. I appreciate Adam and, the cooking staff trying to make sure everyone order came out together. My friends and I normally would tell our waiter/waitress to bring out as soon as it gets plated. Ambiance~It's a well established, clean, and pleasant restaurant. Parking can be very hard to find because of other businesses in that area. I really enjoyed the vibes and, I would highly recommend giving this eatery at try. I cannot wait to come again very soon because, it's a town staple and, I know they have amazing food.

Summary: Good food, great service, casual dining. I'll definitely come back again. Food: Everything we ordered was great. Two had to do with chicken (chicken waffles and half chicken dish) which was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside but still juicy when you bite into it. Seasoned well. Waffles were not eggy but still moist. Fries were regular fries yet crispy and salted just enough. Sandwich was good as well, bread was toasted but bottom part was a bit soggy. You can taste everything, no ingredient overpowering other ingredients. Service: Great. Attentive. Polite. Space: Huge space. they tables by the bar as well as outside tables. Good for huge groups. Bathroom: Clean Parking: Plenty, both street parking and designated parking on the side shared with other establishments.

Dining room the Sunday after Thanksgiving!

Wednesday June 25th, 2025 Lunchtime- 12:00-1:00 Food was Amazing! The Pastrami Sandwich was perfectly hot and delicious! Everything was perfect! Had an Arnold Palmer and it was good. It got busy by the time we left. You can park around the corner behind the Real Estate office if there's no parking on the street. I know it gets busy on weekends, they have a large dining area in the back and also a private room for parties. Cheers!

2nd time visiting this Classic Eats! First time I got the Shrimp-n-grits and I licked it clean. Today, I finally got to try the Triple Stack French Toast (which is only available on weekends not weekdays) For both visits: Service 5 stars Food 5 stars Ambience 5 stars

This is our second time coming here and today is extra special because we celebrated my daughter and son-in-law's wedding anniversary. If you are looking for a wide variety of food, great flavors and friendly, attentive staff, this is the place to go. Amazing food and beautiful cozy place to bring family and friends. Tony Hayes, the owner was there to meet, greet, smile and attend to customers. Excellent service! Worth a visit and you always want to come back again and again!

Came in first thing in the morning and grabbed a seat at the bar. The decor was stylish and inviting--definitely a nice way to start the day. We ordered Bloody Marys, which were tasty, but the bacon garnish seemed undercooked. On the flip side, the mimosa was delicious. For food, we had the steak and eggs. The steak had great flavor, but we asked for medium rare and it leaned more toward rare. The eggs, however, were fluffy and cooked just right. We also tried the biscuits with chicken strips--the strips were thin, slightly crispy, and flavorful. The biscuits were a bit on the dry side, but the side of gravy helped pull it all together. The hash browns were a standout--crispy and well-seasoned.

Vanessa was absolutely incredible! She provided amazing service, was so personable and even surprised our daughter with a birthday surprise at the end of our breakfast. The food was incredible, can't recommend this place enough!

My Cousin and I were out today visiting my Aunt and we decided to grab some dinner. She told me about Classic Eats in Butien, Wa, and how it is a Southern Style Restaurant and since I lived in Batonn Rouge for some years I said Yes. Upon arrival we decided to sit in the Bar area. I told my cousin I was going to take a few pictures and plus I had to use the restroom. The Restroom was very clean and smelled nice. But the time I returned to out table she ordered some drinks, Prickly Pear Martinis. It took the waitress awhile to bring our menus but we weren't in a rush. My cousin ordered the Shrimp and Grits and I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. My cousins words exactly: I had a ton of Chicken and Sausage and 2 Shrimp, spoke to the waitress who said it's so portioned out,I explained to the waitress that it could not have been portioned out evenly when I have all this other meat but only 2 Shrimp. I was so disappointed and ended up having to buy extra shrimp. The Owner walked up and heard me explaining to the waitress and he chimed in stating he puts 2oz of Shrimp and 3oz of Chicken and Sausage, trying to debate. I told him I am just the Customer saying how I feel about his Dish. He offered us Free Dessert for the inconvenience but to be Honest he should've just said he would allow the extra Shrimp at no cost. He also stated it's all about Business. Needles to say my cousin was not too Happy but the Food itself was Tasty. The Martini was way too sweet. The ambience was inviting.

Okayyy shoutout to our friend bringing us here because why are there so many hidden gems in Burien?! This breakfast place is sooo good and affordable. It gets pretty busy in weekends so don't come super hangry or come before the rush. Everybody pretty much cleaned up their plates. I only tried my steak and eggs with potatoes that come with melted cheese. Our waitress was so kind and offered us many sauce options to consume with our meal. The steak was juicy and crispy on the outside. The potato's went so well with it and crispy as well! Usually my potato's always come soggy or under cooked. The best part was the $4 mimosas. Haven't seen a drink cost that cheap in years. Like I get it's just orange juice and champagne but it really got the job done! Didn't taste watered down or anything lol. I am definitely returning to try the Eggs Benedict. We were seated in the patio and it was raining that day. Surprised how warm it was in the patio. Service was amazing and she was very attentive. read more

The food is satisfying in that comfort food meets decadence sort of way. Tony and team pull out the stops to treat you like family. I always want to try new spots for brunch, but unfortunately for them I'm at Classics 4:5 times. Looking for brunch? Go to Classics! read more

Big restaurant- bigger than anticipated. Seating out front, inside and outside (the back). Service is okay, they check in on you every once in a while, food takes a bit to arrive. Food wise, I would say it's solid. Ordered the bbq chicken salad and it had a huge amount of fried onions and diced chicken- the two best parts. Onions were fried lightly and didn't feel heavy, salad was very fresh. Partner ordered- steak w/ asparagus and sweet potato puree and seafood medley (in a sauce). This was pretty good, steak was done well. read more

So Disappointing! This is not the Classic Eats that I used to love! Since the menu prices have increased, the selection of food has gone down. What happened to your quesadillas? A couple of dishes we chose were way below the usual standard. The "meat" in the prime rib sandwich was grisly, the chicken in the sliders was overcooked and dried out (this has happened twice recently). My biggest disappointment was the Shepards Pie! The whole dish was more like a stew with flavorless, stringy meat mixed in with chalky peas and other veggies that don't belong in this dish. Worst of all was the watery, mushy potato, which is supposed to be in a fluffy layer above the meat and vegetables. I should have known better when I saw the soup spoon on the plate. Please, please get rid of your current cooks and replace them with the ones you used to have. If it wasn't for your great service and friendly staff, wine and ambiance, I wouldn't return. Am I the only one to be so disappointed? I bet I'm not. read more

Our family was visiting from out of town and we decided to give Classic Eats a try. The patio and front bar area was hopping as it was early for dinner, so that's a good sign. Our server was a character and was great. The food was solid. Nothing too fancy, but solid. The only ding was the mashed potatoes that came with my mother-in-law's salmon entrée were not hot. They were like, room temperature. The warm cookie skillet was a nice way to end the meal. It wasn't vanilla bean ice cream (no flecks), but it hit the spot. read more

Came to Seattle for a trip with friends, found this spot near our AirBnB and it was the highlight of our weekend. Owner was fantastic and very accommodating to our large party. The waiter was super friendly and always checked in on us. I got the country fried steak and my wife got the strawberry waffles. The country fried steak was fantastic! The gravy they put on top is to die for, seriously so good. Eggs were cooked perfectly and hash browns always hit. Got a piece of my wife's strawberry waffles towards the end and they were good but I was still wanting more steak! Overall if I was ever back in Seattle area this would be the first place I come to.

They have a kids menu, many different mimosa flavors, and a killer breakfast burrito.

Super solid choice for breakfast/brunch! The menu has a lot of standard options and then some with a Cajun flair. My favorite dish has to be the Cajun chicken and waffles - especially with the jalapeño gravy subbed in and some Cajun butter. Portions are good - I always leave feeling full and most of the time with leftovers. Only street parking available but it's fairly easy to find if you turn down one of the side streets. Service is always super friendly. It's usually packed here but there's a good amount of seating so I haven't experienced a long wait before. During the warmer months there's a few tables outside in the front and a patio in the back. read more

It's my second time having breakfast here in the last 5 weeks. The first time, I had shrimp and grits. It was very good and I normally lean to the sweet version. This savory version is smooth and flavorful. Today I had the pancake combo. I'm not a fan. The pancake was too thick for me. The sausage and eggs were fresh. Oh and the mimosas are wonderful. I don't get cheap champagne headaches. What I've noticed about this restaurant is that service is excellent. The timing for check ins, accurate orders and a pleasant demeanor are always just right. read more

Tin Room Bar

(288 reviews)

My family and I went to Tin Room last night and while the restaurant itself was cute and the staff…read morewas awesome, the food left a LOT to be desired. As an appetizer, we ordered the grilled pork belly. Served on a bed of fennel & apple salad,(?) the pork was well-cooked, tender, and had a great smoky flavor. This was the high point of the meal for me. One of my family members ordered the fish & chips as an entrée and I tasted a piece of it; it was a tasty piece of fish and a nice tartar sauce, but the slaw served with it was over-seasoned and mostly inedible. My entrée was the pork schnitzel, and it was decidedly not what I was expecting. The pork was not pounded thin, but rather served as a 1inch think boneless, breaded pork chop on a bed of sautéed purple cabbage and a mustard sauce. It was tasty but not $30 tasty, especially as the pork chop in look & taste came off as Shake & Bake? I honestly am providing this place 3.5 stars because the pork belly was yummy and the other members of my party were mostly satisfied with the meal, tho one did complain that their burger was rather dry. While I would eat there again because I would want to eat the fish n chips and try that pork belly again, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for their first time in Burien.

Definitely can tell that there is a vibe of regulars from how the staff reacted to regular patrons. My wife ordered an old fashioned, and I got a manhattan (both made with the same Nickel Rye). Neither drink hit the mark, and honestly, both were pretty weak. I've had dozens of each around town, and these felt way lighter on the whiskey than most places. I don't get why some spots short-pour the spirits. The better bars make them strong and let a big rock slowly open them up, but these came out already watered down--like they'd been shaken with crushed ice or something. Food is good, the whiskey bar side needs some improvement ...

Kind of not was I expecting though... order at the bar, take your drinks with you and then go sit down. They brought out the food and it was piping hot.

Bacon not too floppy and not too crisp. Every time we wanted another round we had to get up and get it Would definitely come back but I wish they would get a server.

We came here for a family gathering on Sunday afternoon…read more What I loved about this place was the way the space was laid out and ample seating available (could also be due to the facts that the Seahawks didn't play until later in the day) which by the way, lots of TVs in the bar area. A very ample about of beer choices which a place with "brewing" in the name should have. The food menu also is well diverse with a lot of options. Service was ok. It took a little long to get sat but our impression was that was due to being short staffed and we were a party of 7. Service was pretty prompt once we ordered. Food came to the table mostly correct ( one side substitution didn't happen correctly) and overall, we were satisfied. Menu felt well priced and lots of options so I'm pretty pleased with our experience. I look forward to coming back.

It truly felt like we were welcomed into someone's home for a homemade meal made with love. Tony also shared that he offers catering and handed us his business card, which just added to the warm, personal touch. The entire experience felt genuine and heartfelt. Now, let's talk about the food -- the portions are generous to large, so make sure you arrive hungry! I had the Cajun omelette (prepared as a scramble) with homestyle potatoes, a biscuit, and a side of grits. Every bite was rich, flavorful, and seasoned to perfection. It was comfort food at its absolute best -- the kind of satisfying meal that makes you want to go home and take the best nap afterward. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles and upgraded to the blueberry lemon cream waffles. The blueberries were fresh and crisp, and the lemon zest paired beautifully with the marshmallow cream, creating the perfect balance between a sweet breakfast and a delicious dessert. If you have a sweet tooth, this will absolutely hit the spot. And speaking of sweet tooth -- my husband definitely has one! After his meal, he ordered the beignets, and they were phenomenal. They were served with marshmallow cream sauce and caramel sauce for drizzling, which took them to the next level. Light, fluffy, and fried to golden perfection, they were the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing brunch. Classic Eats delivers bold flavor, hearty portions, and unmatched hospitality. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend! read more

This place isn't terrible, it's a pretty cheap and cute breakfast/brunch joint. The serving sizes are really great, even had some to eat later. We met friends who were in town for brunch. Everyone loved their food & the service was amazing. The menu provided something for every taste. We had the Chicken and Waffles, Eggs Benedict and Blackened Chicken Pasta. The Strawberry Lemonade and Cranberry Mimosa we're both yummy! The staff was amazing. Not only did our waitress continuously check on us but so did the management. I highly recommend! read more

Sub-par at best. Classic Eats is the old Mark, and is honestly, kind of missing the mark. The food was bland, really basic and a bit over priced. The service shined at one moment, when a child spilled a glass and they were prompt in helping clean up and keeping everyone calm. Other than that, I waited a lot for a refill of my own drink. This is a good place to take a date, if they didn't know any better, and you couldn't come up with any better ideas. I would go there again if I was invited, but I would not go there again on my decision. read more
