Went for the burger based on recommendations, it was good but not great. Not the top tier of Seattle burgers. Paired it with the Parmesan fries. My wife got the avocado cucumber salad and she enjoyed that as well. Food - 3.5 Service was great, 5/5. The pricing was reasonable for the food we received. Lastly, the vibe of the place, on a Tuesday night, was solid. 4/5. Overall, good food, great service, I'll give 4/5 stars.
We went for a birthday and had THE BEST time! The food is amazing! Best drag show ever? The owner was so accommodating to our changing reservation! What a great venue!
What an epic spot! We started out at the bar for champagne and a super unique charcuterie board which was delicious! Then we moved to the patio for the drag show! Seriously the most awesome experience with the best music! The staff are very chill and friendly, great vibe! The brunch food was delicious - we had the Mcdreamy burger, Crunchwrap, eggs Benedict and avocado toast. Fantastic!!
The drag brunch here is world famous, and rightly so. They really put on a show and they have it down to a (sexy! outrageous!) science. The level of production reminded me of top-notch drag shows in NYC. And you can see it right here in Seattle. It's joyous. It's hilarious. It's glam. It's an EVENT. (Bring cash to tip!) Also, the food is really good and not overpriced, which really is rare. Treat yourself!
My husband and I had brunch at Dreamland on Sunday. We had an overall nice experience. Both the inside and patio were adorably decorated for the holidays, and the patio was comfortably warm. Our server was prompt, as was the food. The food was very tasty, but honestly really rich- I ended up taking the sausage out of my country benedict, and didn't feel my best afterwards. I think next time I would order something else, so that's on me, and honestly their happy hour menu looks really good, so I'd come back for that.
Dreamland is a dreamy and happenin' place in Fremont that features a large bar, plenty of seating a stage to welcome live music and a bit of space to stand and get your dance on. Of course, they serve food here and the menu has a selection of eye-catching entrees. Came here with my friend for his belated Birthday and he picked it out as we both were looking to try something new. We started off with the 'Mystery Unicorn cocktail', what is it? It's a mystery! It was sweet and strong, like a fruit punch, tequila concoction I'd make. They came in these title creature cups. After sipping on these we got to business. To start we split the Queso Mac & Cheese - Cavatappi pasta, velvety queso, a kick of Jalapeño and a sprinkle of crispy Panko. We added Short rib on top because you gotta. (Not really, at $6 extra, but it was good). This might've been the best thing we got though, the cheese was so melty with a little kick. I recommend as a shareable for 2 -3. Add Braised Short Rib got the 'Big Daddy Cluck' chicken sandwich - Brioche roll, fried chicken, bacon, jalapeño slaw, pimento cheese, for a side I kept it simple with Fries. The sandwich was good. Just the right amount of crunch, spice from the jalapeno flavor and tendernous. My friend got the shrimp & grits which cited as being flavorful as well. Everything was solid, but high. I've had many chicken sandwiches in my time, but this Daddy can't match them. Seattle Biscuit co. has one that blows it away for about the same price. The foods good, atmosphere and service check out but just didn't send me soaring for similar fare I've had. Still though I'd recommend but just watch out a couple drinks and an app and entree can fairly easily get you close to 3 - $$$'s quickly. I'd love to try happy hour here.
My colleagues come here quite a lot and finally dragged me here. It was better than I thought. Got here around 630pm on a Thursday. It started with 5 of us and then it ballooned to 15 people. We sat in the back which has one long table that fit 10 easily and the others stood or we rotated. I had the chicken and waffles but wished I order the big cluck sandwich because it was phenomenal looking and fit the huge appetite that I had going in. The waffle was a bit dry. And the chicken could have used more seasoning. I should have asked for more syrup or maybe hot sauce. I ordered the passionfruit old fashioned which was simply okay. A little bit to juice like for my tastebuds. It was the only drink in the menu that looked interesting. I stuck with beer the rest of the time to avoid disappointment. I had all local beers including a lager which was refreshing. Atmosphere and ambiance was legit though. It was a lot of lights and just gave a nice overall feeling. The waitress we had was on it. She had the bill sorted. She didn't freak out when there was a bunch of us. She was attentive and flying around. She alone made this experience enjoyable.
Great spot for brunch during my trip to Seattle! Fun vibes and delicious food! Would definitely recommend.
Happy hour is the place to be! Burger for $12 buckeroons? Honking plate of nachos? Crunchy wrap? The deals are great, and they have a great covered patio. Honestly a banging burger, not the hugest fan of the crunchy wrap, and the nachos do do the job. The covered patio offers natural light, heaters when cold, and is doggo friendly if that's your vibe. Every server I've had there has been super chatty, funny, and kind. I would 100% come from some solid food and good time. I always bike past when they're hosting drag brunch on weekends, and it sounds like a freakin' hoot. Will have to come back for then.
This is a fun spot to have lunch in Fremont. Staff are welcoming and the food is delicious. MB2 and I shared the mushroom scramble with hashbrowns and side salad, and the mortadella sandwich with a side of mac salad. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy and the mac salad was flavorful! We learned they make their own pastries onsite and are coming out with a new pastry item. I hope to come back on the weekend for their drag brunch.
The whole place is just a trip, like the decor is super cozy, they're dog friendly, & the music choice was pretty rad from the bartender with some nice progressive house into some funkier stuff. Seattle core. Highly recommend even on the weekdays.

First time having food at Dreamland Bar & Diner. Been here for the Halloween themed drinks before but never had their food. Had a group or 8 and we were able to make a reservation on a Friday night. The restaurant charges 25% auto gratuity for big parties. The restaurant wasn't super busy, had plenty of tables available for walk-ins for a 730 dinner reservation. I ordered a Shirley temple and a small loaded nachos with chorizo. The small portion was a perfect amount for one person. I shared my meal with others and still had enough to munch on. The chorizo was a good choice for the loaded nachos. The Shirley temple definitely tastes like they make their own syrup. The boneless chicken and waffles came out hot and fresh. It's a great balance between sweet and savory. read more
3.5 stars fries were very good outside is definitely tacky but not in a fun way necessarily. drink was a little over sweet. inside is nice looking. i'm not itching to come back but i'm not opposed. would be fun for a bigger group read more

One of those places you just gotta check out for yourself. If your in a lively mood. There seems to be a party room connected. I didn't ask, but from the looks and sounds of it, a holiday day/dance party. Either way just be ready for the high energy. The service is nice and does it's best to keep up with the demand. It didn't take as long to get our food as it did to wrap things up. Either way they for sure we're hard at work. Also I was impressed by how fast our food was ready. I dug the interior design as it matched the fun and loud vibes. Don't expect anything fancy. I wouldnt come here for a first date or anything but maybe a birthday or a date with someone your fairly familiar with. Let's not forget about the food. I'll be honest, wasnt 5 star or anything, maybe not even 4 stat, but was more than passable for the occasion. Luckily I came during happy hour so I was able to save a few bucks because half the food I was planning on ordering jist so happened to be discounted for happy hour. Overall i would recommned this place to others. I also plan on coming back. Won't be rushing to come back, but I still look forward to my next visit. I mostly want to give a few of their other food options despite half the food I did order being somewhat bland in flavor. Specifically the mac and cheese and the birria dip that came with the crunch wrap. The birria dip didnt exactly taste bad, but idk if I'd call it biriani. Lol. read more

Friendly and engaging host and servers, including others not working our table, stopped by to admire our toddler son, who was enjoying all the lights and colors. My wife's delicious Monte Cristo (with frosted flake crust) was a welcome take on the classic, and somehow, thankfully, not overly sweet. Meanwhile, I had the Crunch Wrap Supreme, which looks almost exactly like the Taco Bell version, but with actual fresh ingredients, and no sawdust to be found! One of the best brunch items I've had in recent memory! There was a rowdy drag show brunch just outside in the covered courtyard, and the performers passed by our table as they made their way there, so we got a little preview of the action. Seems like everyone in there was having a blast! Oh, and Dreamland is dog-friendly, inside and out, so that's a plus as well. In short, our brunch at Dreamland was anything but a drag! read more

I was barely acknowledged. Cold. I work in customer service and for the prices yall can do better. It was slow and it's Monday. Yall could've made an extra $50 out of me but I wasn't acknowledged... Won't be back. But it looks cool inside that's about it. The margarita is good. The shot was not worth it at all. But yeah. Do better! read more

Came here for weekend brunch at 1030am and was able to snag a table for 4 with no reservations. They allow dogs inside the restaurant which is super cool. We got the French toast and birria burrito which were both tasty although I liked the French toast better. All the staff were sweet and fawned over our dogs. Our dog even got a free biscuit treat. Definitely want to come back for drag brunch! read more

I researched this place for chicken and waffles. I had an appointment nearby early in the morning. It was a great spot with lots of seating and a nice environment. I did get the chicken and waffles and my partner got pancakes with sausage and scrambled eggs . Both dishes were generous in proportion. I must say that I've never had such juicy fried chicken in my life and I've only had chicken waffles combo a couple times. The pepper jam was sweet with a slight heat behind and dipped in syrup was delightful. We had lots to take home and next time we are in the area fish and chips look awesome to try. Thanks Annie for your great service and attentiveness! read more

From the moment I walked in I felt so welcome. The whole team greeted me like they knew me and it made me feel so comfortable. The food and drinks were delicious. Sarah (not sure how they spell their name) was a ray of light. I will definitely be back my next visit in Seattle. What a lovely place. Also, the fries are wild. ORDER THE FRIES. read more
Had a great time at Dreamland! Stopped over for brunch around 11:15 on a Sunday and were seated right away without a reservation (4 of us). All the employees were great and the Halloween decor was amazing! You can tell they don't spare any expense when it comes to decorating for the season. We got a biscuit to share and it was incredible! Soft and fluffy on the inside, with a nice crunch on the outside. The butter and jam made it a perfect sweet treat before our entrees. I got the eggs Benedict and, even though I came hungry, there was still quite a bit left over! They certainly don't skimp on the portions! Hashbrowns were crispy, delicious, and not oily. Salad was simple and fresh. Overall we had a great time and everyone was happy with their food. Can't wait to go back to Dreamland! read more

Solid brunch spot in Fremont. Not as many options on the menu as other brunch spots, but the food is solid and the service is always great. The highlight of this place is the restaurant itself which is funky and has an awesome vibe. Have never been able to make it to one of their drag brunches, but it is definitely on my to-do and have heard great things about it! read more

Came for brunch. Was so hungry, didn't get any pictures of the actual food, but it was very good. I didn't realize there was a drag brunch show going on, but it was very packed and fun. read more
I've been wanting to go to Dreamland for quite some time now, so I'm glad I was able to get in for brunch recently! Sadly I didn't go for their Saturday drag brunch (def still on my list) but glad I got to experience their Sunday brunch! First off, love the vibe here. It's so fun! The disco balls in the hallway are a fun photo opp and one I've seen all over social media. The service is also so nice! I normally always opt for things like biscuits and gravy or corned beef hash during brunch, so I was surprised that I ended up wanting the McDreamy (their take on a burger). It was so good! Packed full of flavor, lots of melted cheese, and the charred onion mayo was delicious. I got it with a side of fries, which were seasoned super well. Their weekday dinner menu also has some really tasty sounding options, so between coming back for drag brunch and dinner, I hope to try more of their menu! read more

The main reason to go to Dreamland would have to be for the vibe and ambiance! The bar is super pretty and dreamy, with colorful lights throughout, a covered outside deck that reminds me of a pirate cove, and a crazy mirrored disco ball hallway to the bathroom. It's a beautiful and colorful venue for drag shows! (Also, I'm such a nerd, but the first thing I thought when I saw the outside area was "wow this would be great for an afternoon D&D session" or costume party lol) The menu is slightly tropical/Hawaiian themed and fun drinks. I ordered the kalua pork, which came with mac salad and a soft bun. Looking at the other reviews, it looks like I need to go back for the brunch! We made a reservation ahead of time for a group of six for dinner and drinks. All of the servers were friendly and funny, too. read more

They have a great whiskey sour here and the environment is a lot of fun to come at night. Fun for groups and also for a casual date night. Service has been great every time I've been so far. Definitely try to check out the back outdoor patio area! It's got cool lighting and several booths and tables as well as the bar to hang out. Sometimes they host DJs to play music. read more

Dreamland is truly a dream! The salted caramel macchiato French toast is the most crispy outer shell with the softest doughy bread in the middle. The caramel sauce and giant plop of macchiato whip moves this dish to perfection. And the food is great, but the disco ball hallway to the restrooms is everything. They had amazing music and great staff that totally earned this 5 stars. read more
I can't believe it's taken me so long to review Dreamland, since this is one of my favorite spots in Seattle. I first came in right before Halloween and just can't stay away. It's such a cute space, I love that it's pretty over the top but because of how bright it is it's not claustrophobic. Most of the bartenders and servers here are sweethearts and service is consistently fast. Food and drinks are absolutely the best part. Serving sizes are fantastic, nothing upsets me more than an entree that's $15-25 for like 1.5 oz of food, but the plates here are always more than enough. The Hawaiian lunch plate, shrimp & grits, and eggs benedict are my top favorites, I really want to try the infamous bowl at some point ASAP. You literally cannot go wrong with any of their drink options, if you have 3 or more people, definitely get one of the large format drinks! The tigersblood margarita and the seasonal mule with the pineapple ginger beer have been my favorites, but I have my eye on the passionfruit whiskey sour for next time. read more
Cute spot for HH drinks! Last time I was here, this was the Red Door, a Fremont icon, but glad to see Dreamland has settled in nicely with its whimsical vibe to match the neighborhood. The Halloween theme and decor were on point. Service was extremely fast on a Tuesday afternoon. Drinks were stiff and intricately made. read more
Came in for the Halloween-themed Screamland last month, and it was a mixed bag. Ambiance: being greeted by two 12' skeletons flanking the check in desk was beyond awesome. The bar area was kitted out in all kinds of cute Halloween decor which was so great. It was crowded, but that was expected. The music was way too loud; you could barely hear the person next to you speak. I get that it was a party, but uf. Food: ordered the pimento cheese, because, cheese. It was pretty tasty. The fried saltines had a nice salty, spicy kick and the sausages were a great accompaniment. Drinks: I wanted to love the halloween themed drinks, but unfortunately it was style over substance. The concepts were great, and the Beetlejuice themed glassware was very appreciated, but every drink we had was cloyingly sweet and the price point was pretty high. read more
