The inside was actually beautiful. It was spacious and clean upstairs in the 21+ area. The bar staff was quick and friendly. Even the floor of the venue was clean and well managed.

Frank B is here is here to share its one of the worst venues in Seattle. Granted live music is played inside but it's a warehouse with zero site lines for quality viewing. I've been to sold out shows and you're crushed in like sardines. Definallty not fun when the person your pushed again smells like a rotted corpse or worse. Should you have mental health issues this might trigger you... I'll skip any show if it's scheduled at Showbox SODO. Aside from bad venue you must consider parking & personal safety in the area as another factor. Don't say I didn't give you fair warning.

This year we got to go on a weekday which was so nice because we missed the crowds :) Ample parking, there's a few overflow lots available and they seem pretty stroller friendly. Bob's has a lawn with tons of pumpkins to choose from, a place to get fresh donuts, a few food stall options, a fudge shop, a country store where you can buy local favorites, a wagon ride, corn maze, and so much more. The free things are the pumpkin lawn and the country store, otherwise everything else is an extra cost for a reasonable price. I love picking up some corn, small pumpkins and honeycrisp apples at the country store and then finding a large carving pumpkin :)

One of several choices for pumpkin patch/fall festival in Snohomish. Bought the tickets which are…read morelike $25ish each on the weekends to do all the activities, but you don't need a ticket if you are just there for country store or pumpkin patch. Lots of cars in the parking lots on a weekend, but the farm is big and doesn't feel too crowded. There's lots of pumpkins and a bunch of photo stops. Tried the slides, zip-line, basketball, and the small tractor tow around the dirt course. Was fun. Bob's is known for their large corn maze. The adult maze is on the other side of the road, and you get their by taking the hay ride. More pumpkins and sunflower field on that side too. The maze is pretty big. Took me 20 minutes to walk out following the map. Probably takes 1-2 hours if you don't use the map. As for food, they have mini donuts, cider, burger, pizza, chicken tenders. Tried the mini donuts which were fresh and tasted pretty good. They have pumpkin and apple cinnamon flavors. Overall I enjoyed the experience, as an adult. All the kids there seem to be having a good time. Fall festival tickets not that cheap but most of the other farms charge similarly.

Been waiting to give them a try and had an appointment in tukwila so I stopped in for lunch. This…read moreis a no frills, southern home cooked food spot with rotating specials. I stopped in about 30 mins after they opened on a friday and they had a lunch rush, everything is cooked to order so be prepared to wait at least 20mins. I ordered the 6oz catfish and chips which came with 3 catfish strips, fries, 1 hush puppy, chips and a drink ($16.99) I also got a side of mac&cheese. The positives: staff was kind, pastor at the counter would make jokes with customers and you could tell they had regulars during lunch time. Fries were well seasoned, hush puppy was good and Mac was acceptable. My only issue with the catfish was that it was overcooked and became a bit chewy (see photo). Sitting in there it seems like the wings were a customer favorite so I would love to go back and try their wings and other sides. Since my order took longer (there was a large order right before mines) the pastor at the counter thanked me for my patience and threw in a dessert.

This small & locally owned restaurant is only open a few days a week. It's run by a Pastor and…read moreyou'll catch him running the front of the house. The place is quaint and the people are friendly. And the food here delivers in every possible way. If you appreciate Soul Food and/or Southern Food then this is the place for you. The cabbage here was everything I could ever ask for. I wanted more when I was done. The Mac & cheese didn't look like much to me but man did it serve on tastes. It was cheesy, seasoned and cooked just right. The fried chicken was cooked fresh and seasoned to perfection. My breast was still juicy and piping hot. Call ahead for to go orders or you'll spend your time waiting for the chicken to be fried. The peach cobbler here is not my preferred way to have as I like a pie crust with mine but oh my goodness, I took one bite and couldn't stop savoring this dessert. Do yourself and get you some. Open Fridays & Saturdays, and the menu slightly rotates weekly so check their website ( southerngrill1.com ) to check menu and confirm hours. This place is everything and more that I could ever ask for when it comes to good ole soul food.

Ok this place is super cool. I can't believe I only found out about this venue recently!…read more To get to the theater, you go around the corner from the bar entrance and through this back alleyway door. It feels very covert, like you need to know a guy who knows a guy with a password to get in. You can also enter through the bar (I think). We initially went through the side door to get our tickets scanned in and then went in and out of the bar between acts to grab a drink. We weren't able to bring drinks into the actual theater, but not a huge deal. If anything, keeps the venue cleaner. There aren't any seats, just tiered standing platforms. Honestly, even with it being packed, I felt like we had a pretty good view of ~80% of the stage. The one thing I will say is that with everyone standing, you would think there'd be more movement/dancing. But alas, this is still Seattle and most people were bopping their heads to the music while I just wanted to swing around and feel it in my soul.

There is available street parking however it can be tricky and limited due to the narrow streets. The theater shares an entrance with a jazz bar which provides a comfortable seating area to enjoy a drink while waiting for a show. We came to see the Rocky Horror Burlesque Pastie Show and was impressed at the capacity of this small theater. Beyond the hallway, patrons are immediately welcomed to second bar and a sea of padded chairs. The theater was packed with Rocky Horror Picture fans with some proudly wearing costumes of their favorite characters. The show started a little later than advertised however we were kept entertained during the slight delay. The seats were comfortable and we had an unobstructed view of the stage. This was our first time seeing a Rocky Horror Show in burlesque and we didn't know what to expect. Audience participation was encouraged and specific names (which I will not repeat) were yelled out when either Brad or Janet took the stage. Overall, a wonderful group adventure night full of sing-a-longs, heckling, and cocktails. Drink prices and show tickets were cheap compared to other venues.

The staff has been noticeably more attentive, welcoming, and genuinely focused on creating a great guest experience. I've been coming to Jazz Alley since 2005, and over the past 20 years it has been the place where I've celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, business dinners, and evenings out with family and friends. Some of my favorite memories in Seattle have been made here--introducing guests from out of town to world-class jazz, sharing dinner with my son, and enjoying unforgettable performances with my partner and close friends. What stands out now is that the service once again matches the caliber of the musicians on stage. Servers are attentive without being intrusive, food arrives on time, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming again. No restaurant or venue gets it right 100% of the time, but what matters is listening to customers and making improvements. Jazz Alley appears to have done exactly that, and I truly appreciate it. It's great to have one of Seattle's iconic venues back to providing the complete experience--exceptional music paired with exceptional hospitality. I'll continue bringing family, friends, clients, and visitors here for many years to come. Bravo to the entire Jazz Alley team.

Tonight we're visiting Dimitriou's Jazz Alley again for the Lydia Pense and Cold Blood show, the…read morelast of a two-show stand. I understand Lydia Pense and her band are popular in R&B circles and the Bay area, so, we thought we'd check them out. Especially when I learned there was a Tower of Power connection. The show was energetic and Cold Blood warmed the audience up from start to finish! The ensemble captivated the venue with a few of their old favorites including, "You Got Me Hummin," "I Just Want To Make Love To You," "I'm A Good Woman," and "Down to the Bone." As usual, the front-of-the-house staff was welcoming and accommodating! We were seated almost immediately at our table to begin dinner before the show. Jazz Alley appreciates your early arrival if you're having dinner to minimize disruptions while the show is going on. We started the evening with Sauvignon Blanc and Old Fashioned, and Jazz Alley's calamari appetizer. For entrees on this visit, we chose the seared Wild King Salmon and the Vegetable Lasagna. The salmon was a generous size portion of fish with a nice sear and moist. It was served with lemon-turmeric jasmine rice pilaf, steamed asparagus, and cherry tomatoes. The lasagna was also a good size portion that included eggplant, spinach, mushrooms, basil, ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella, served on a bed of rich San Marzano tomato sauce and topped with pesto. It was delicious. For dessert we opted for the Molten Chocolate Cake and Key Lime Pie. The warm French vanilla chocolate cake included a molten center and was served with sweet, whipped cream and caramel sauce. The Key Lime Pie (my favorite) is custard baked in a graham cracker crust and topped with sweet, whipped cream. We thoroughly enjoyed both!

I was a little turned away from ordering the gus with the fried chicken because of the price alone ($27 compared to the others which were $16-$19). You paid at the register and sat down with a number - the diner like seating was vibey. I loved that the garage opened to outdoor seating although your view was traffic and not the most comfortable seating. We ended up sitting inside and people watched the front and bar service area. We overheard in the kitchen they were running out for the day and how they had lots of leftover biscuits the day before but today they were bought out before closing. We went around noon on a Sunday. The biscuits did not dissapoint! Had a nice crust, soft on the inside and the jam/bacon combo is hard to beat. The Ché was a good sandwich but I my preference would be my friend's Willie Lee because it had way more jam flavor to it. Next time I go i'm eyeing the Varner.. I had to take half of mine home in the end and still felt stuffed after our meal. 10/10 recommend, nice spot and met all my expectations! :)

They had a good flow of traffic throughout the entire time we were there. They have two picnic tables outside of the restaurant for outdoor seating and a handful of tables inside. We had the salmon Philly, fish & grits, and a side order of the waffle. - The salmon Philly was flavorful and the cheese pull was elite. We chose the fries as our side and they were cooked well. - I loved the size of the waffle! It was on the thinner side though so definitely don't put all the syrup on it unless you like it soggier since it soaks up pretty well. - I loved the combination of the catfish and grits because they balanced each other out well. The catfish was cooked to perfection, but I wouldn't eat it on its own since it's pretty salty, so you gotta eat it with the grits for each bite.
