Service, ambience, drinks and especially the food. Great place for get together with colleagues and/or friends. I highly recommend for out of towners. Will definitely texture.

Classic eats seems like a nestled local spot. I'm not typically familiar with this area but didn't find any parking when I went. I found street parking relatively easily and only walked less than 1 block. The vibes in here live up to the name, just a good old fashioned place to get some decent brunch food. I would definitely come again if I was in the area. Staff: Nice (4/5) Sanitation: (4/5) Country Fried Steak and Eggs (5/5) This was an amazing country fried steak, I think my only complaint would be I wish it was a little bit bigger or a tad bit more gravy. It was well seasoned and the gravy completely complemented the protein. The hash browns were also decent, I typically like my hash browns a little crispier but it was solid. The eggs were eggs nothing much to really say about those haha but I would order this again for sure.

Amazing!!!!! Was looking for a restaurant to fill the soul of my dear sweet travelers who has been longing for rest after spending the whole day in Seattle. Not sure if I am spelling our server's name correctly, Romie was a delight and offered kindness and patience for us. On to the food! I cannot decide if we should get the jambalaya and split or the new menu item, which is the cilantro shrimp. I am a fan of both. I will definitely have to return to try the jambalaya, but this evening we decided to go with the cilantro shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cilantro cream sauce paired greatly with the pasta. The sauce was not over creamy, but it was a little bit on the oily/buttery side and the sauce itself could use a little bit of salt and pepper. The waffle was on of the best we have been able to locate and the bacon, which I forgot to snap a pic of because we gobble it down before I realized. LOL!!! The beignets were cooked very well, I love the puff pastry that they use because it wasn't overly sweet and they weren't too greasy. Am I opinion overall this is a decent affordable restaurant to enjoy a meal with a friend a loved one and even a family member. The restaurant is not on the larger scale, so my recommendations would be no more than 4 to 6 people in your party if you plan to eat here. It's also very chill and the atmosphere was relaxing in case you're looking for a place with a little bit more intimacy. As always safe, hungry and happy out there! Be someone's best day. See y'all next time for my next review.

The service and food is excellent every time I visit. The staff is so attentive and friendly. The vibe is casual and comfortable The food is generously portioned,nice and hot with no salt and pepper needed,just cooked to protection. I really admired witnessing the owner in the kitchen apron and gloves on taking part in ensuring the food is as good as it looks! Definitely a Classic place to Eat

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!

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.

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.

Sarah L.

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!

So, the bride and I have lived in the area for 31 years and we never stepped foot in Classic Eats. Last night we met Tony, the owner, and learned we had many common friends and had crossed paths in the area. Even though there is no indoor dining right now, he showed us the restaurant, including the nice heated outdoor tent in the back. We left with a salmon salad, a chicken pasta and two desserts and consumed it all with gusto at home. The blackened chicken pasta was the winner, but the salmon salad was very good. Safe to say we will return and we look forward to sampling some other choices. We absolutely love being able to support a local black owned business and we hope you will too! The food quality was excellant, all the servers were very upbeat and it took very little time to prepare our meals. It is probably wise to phone ahead for your to go items but we did not mind waiting - and watching happy customer after happy customer leave with bags full of goodness. read more

I gave them 3 stars because the service was good although they seems to be short staffed the day I went. It was till ok since the waiter/waitress tried to attend the table pretty good. The issue was the food. I saw pretty review so we decided to try since our initially intended restaurant wasn't open the time we went. However, the Ruben sandwich my husband ate was soggy and not so remarkable. The grilled cheese sandwich our son ate had a good looking hick bread but the cheese looked like one of kraft processed cheese. And my grilled shrimp in skewer with Cilantro rice was huge turn-down to me. Shrimps were luke warm and the "cilantro rice" looked like the Uncle Ben bagged rice and didn't see any cilantro in it. The side broccolis were just dry steamed broccoli had no seasoning or sautéed or anything. The whole dish looked like school cafeteria lunch. I wonder how they got 4.5 stars... read more

Went here for breakfast. Stood at the hostess booth for 5 minutes without being spoken to by anyone (LOTS of open tables soooo, "busy" wasn't it.) Do NOT order the Grits and Shrimp! The worst, most poorly seasoned SHOVEL of grits with a stingy dusting of cheddar cheese I've ever had. The 4 tiny shrimp they threw on were edible but CERTAINLY not worth the 14.99 price tag. The server did offer to bring me something else but the offer felt "suspicious" so I declined. Husband ordered Tony's Potatoes, was served chicken fried steak instead. Server was training a new hire and we're pretty easy going so didn't send it back. Food was decent but again, stingy on the gravy and the potato portion was a joke for 13.99...not impressed. Waters sat empty all of breakfast too...final nail in the coffin. read more

The summary of this restaurant is that nothing was horrible and nothing was good. We ordered the top sirloin, which had an odd choice in seasoning in a not good way, the mashed potatoes were okay but lacking flavor, and the asparagus was grilled but not with seasoning. The lemon crusted chicken was surprisingly flavorless too, the breading didn't have flavor and I think they just poured some lemon juice on it. It came with the same mashed potatoes, and previously frozen unseasoned broccoli. Service was the same level of ok, but not great (a little slow). $50 for "well, I'm not hungry anymore." read more

We ordered the mole chilaquiles and the churro pancakes and were pleased with both dishes. The mole was great and a huge serving, and the pancakes were three huge fluffy pancakes with ice cream and whipped cream - we could each only eat half and now we've got leftovers- yay! Pancakes also came with eggs and three huge pieces of bacon that managed to be both thick and crispy - delicious. Service was super fast and friendly. We will certainly be back!

The Rockfish is perfectly battered with a nice crunch! We will definitely be telling our friends about this place. Can't wait to go back and try more of their food!

First you go someplace, you have a nice time, and the rose-colored glasses are on. Second time you…read morego someplace, you don't have as good of a time, and the rose-colored glasses come off. That's the way it is. We hoped this would be our new holiday go-to. We loved the idea of a week-long menu during holidays. We took advantage of the Irish St. Patrick's Day menu, and we were excited to go back for the Easter menu. The Easter menu was also shown on their website as being a week long - so that's three more days from the day we went. When we got there, we spent a few minutes being discombobulated because we couldn't find any of the Easter menu items besides the pancakes (photo) and the drinks menu. In addition, the staff was being a big cagey about it. The menu was still featured on the website but turns out, we were eventually told, that they ran out of the ingredients for most of the items (which would be ham and pork, I guess) and the menu was shut down except for the drinks and the pancakes (nobody mentioned the pancakes and they weren't named in an Eastery way). So, folks, if you offer a week-long menu for one of the biggest holidays of the year, please get enough inventory. We know times are tough, but you did decide to do this and presumably know better after being open since 1979. Please take the holiday menu down from your website if it's not applicable anymore. Please put "subject to availability" on your flyer online if it's possible you will run out of inventory. Please be forthcoming and cheerful and apologetic that you don't have the holiday menu anymore, not defensive. Please tell your entire staff that you aren't serving it anymore. Non-wait staff. Why do you ask us what we want to drink, then tell us we'll have to ask our server? Just bring us water and be done with it. Wait staff. You seem like you enjoy your job, or used to, but are over-worked. That's too bad. We hope things get better. So, this will probably not be our go-to holiday restaurant after all.

I was born and raised in Georgia so maybe that's why the taste is so bland. The meatloaf just tasted burnt and like they dumped half the container of pepper in it. The Mac N cheese was decent. They do give generous portion sizes. My son's shrimp Po boy was decent. The lettuse was not limp or wilted. My daughter's bidcuits and gravy looked flavorful but I've had jar gravy that had more flavor. The biscuits were moist. The hash brown were not crispy at all just soggy. I sent the meatloaf back requesting that it be removed from my bill. I took one small fork full to taste it. My daughters captain platter has a burnt flavor as well according to her. I did not try hers. If you want food that is bursting with flavor like true southern food, go somewhere else.

We were very confused lol I'm hoping it was a fluke because everything about this place is great . Especially the people who run it. So we will be back and hopefully the food will be seasoned because thats literally the only negative i have to say.

Note for context: I have dined at some of THE FINEST and Forbes/Michelin rated restaurants around the world. When I travel I LOOK for these types of diners especially for breakfast. You're walking INTO a blast from the past here. Expect it to not be super clean. It was fine but not spotless. It's a DINER. I know what I'm expecting when I walk into a Forbes rated restaurant, I know what I'm walking into when I go to a diner. And for those of you who are ' complaining' that they only take cash and 'won't come back' ... maybe you'd be happier giving your business to big giant corporate America places like Starbucks... where the banks get 2-4% of the bill and they get their food pre-prepped and shipped for 'reheating' for you when you buy it. Super odd comments considering the location of Little Pats. I carry cash on me specifically for places like these. Put a few bucks in the center console of your EV and come on out to Little Pats. Portions were good for the price. I'd come 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
