Parmesan fries
Samuel S.

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.

Disco dip with tortilla chips

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!

Charcuterie board. It had a cute name but I can't remember it.
Shana C.

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!!

Remember to bring money to tip the queens. The staff will break your bills into $1s.

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!

Biscuits and gravy and country Benedict

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.

Drag show
Bianca M.

10/10 the show was super fun and the cinnamon roll was heavenly! Brunch was also great!

Michael B.

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.

Eggs Benedict
Stephanie R.

Great spot for brunch during my trip to Seattle! Fun vibes and delicious food! Would definitely recommend.

McDREAMY DELUXE BURGER
Michelle C.

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.

Vod sod with thicc lime
Lime G.

Pretty good, thicc, lime slice! Come for the lime, stay for the drag brunch! .

Mushroom Scramble & Mortadella Sandwich
Carol C.

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.

Bajaja Explosion, really yummy and boozy! Has real coconut grated in it!
John B.

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.

Ask the Community - Dreamland Bar & Diner

Is it better to sit inside or on the patio in the wintertime? Are there outdoor heaters?

Heaters, yes. Better? Depends on your tolerance.

Are ticket reservations refundable? Every time I plan something with friends, tickets sell out by the time I manage to get headcount

Is this place ok for kids in the evening?

I wouldn't recommend it- it's more of a bar atmosphere.

Do you take reservations?

According to the website, they are not taking reservations right now due to Covid so it's first come first serve.

Can people under 21 come in for food?

Absolutely. It's a diner so kids of all ages are welcome

Stumbletown is a true carnivorous dream dining experience. Let's start with the menu it's simple. Your choice is duck or steak with an option for sauce. Why complicate things Yelpers, this place is "THE KISS" method so don't try and overthink things cause the chef doesn't . In case you're wondering I ordered the steak with Chimichurri sauce and this was layered over a mound of some of the best fries I've consumed in ages. Note they cook the flesh with a SOUS VIDE machine slow and low to make the meat tender and juicy. My guess are the fries had to be double fried in duck fat judging by the crunchiness and flavor... Yes for $25 I was served a steak mound of flesh over fries and loved every bite. Flavor bomb alert is the combo of steak , fries and Chimichurri smothered over the top IS AWESOME. Its a heavenly marriage of flavors for those seeking a sensual flavor experience... Note the homemade chimichurri sauce was a game changer as its expansion of the flavors is beyond anything imaginable. I only wish they sold by the bottle for home use it was that flavorful. Ok, by now you're savoring my photos and maybe licking your phone and I understand why , so just image how I felt actually eating. For beverages it's water ( free & self serve ) or a full bar of intoxicants you can walk up and order.... Keep in mind Stumbletown is a waiter free environment which is AWESOME !

A nice little bar (Essex), associated with Delancey. It's clear that the wait for a table at…read moreDelancey is frequently long, and they have wisely separated the bar area, and made it independent, so that waiting at the bar (Essex) wouldn't clog the front entrance of Delancey. We ordered munchies and drinks while we waited for our table at Delancey. The bartender / server knew we would be headed to Delancey in 40 minutes or so, and handled things well accordingly. We got a plate of olives (tasty, great finger food) and drinks. The Yonder cider was good, not too sweet. The Martini was tasty. I had two quibbles: The first was with the pricing: the martini was charged as two separate items: 1) gin (I suppose the charge varies by the kind of gin or vodka in your martini) 2) martini (which is apparently the non-vodka or or non-gin part of your drink) While I'm sure this makes it easier to track for the bartender and inventory, as well as for charging, as a customer, it's a little odd to have a mixed drink be a two-part charge. The second was the included 20% automatic gratuity. I don't object to the concept of a standard service charge, I just wish it had been more prominently displayed so that I wouldn't have added a 20% tip on top of that (and my tip was on the amount that included tax, service charge and drinks / food). So, buyer beware ... the service is good, the ambiance is nice, the food and drinks are good -- but the payment / billing is non-standard, and can cause unexpected surprises.

I am showing my age by saying the restaurant is VERY LOUD, and our table was in a very dark spot in the restaurant. Oddly, they didn't have enough table lamps for all the dark tables. Our server said they "ran out". How does that happen? I stalked a departing table to take their rechargeable lamp. Anyway, my expectations were likely too high going in, and I was annoyed before even ordering, turning on our cellphone light to read the menu. The food is pretty good, though not mind-blowing good like the reviews suggest, and we had one bad dish. They offer varied Khmer dishes beyond noodle varieties, which is a plus. Go if you are looking for variety, skip the fish, bring ear plugs, and hope you have a brighter table than ours. Parking is street only. 3 Stars for the food, minus 1 star for the restaurant environment (unrelated to staff) The Food: k'tiss dip with crudités, $18 - 4 Stars We chose the marrow stone blue oyster mushroom option - p'set. The mushrooms are sautéed in Khmer seasonings, fermented bean curd, and coconut milk. The veggies are mildly pickled. They paired surprisingly well and a unique dish to try. kroeung kumeraage, $15 - 4 Stars This dish has an option of fried chicken or fried mushrooms. We chose the chicken since we already had mushrooms. Kroeung is the Khmer seasoning. Our server said this dish and papaya salad are amongst the most popular. Since we have a veggie dish, we chose this over the papaya salad (which looks great, too). The chicken is lightly fried, not crispy outside, super tender, and paired well with the kroeung aioli. trei chmouy tuk tei omperi, $40 - 1 Star The menu says serves 2 but not really. The is a pan seared fish, make your own fish wrap. We did not know we ordered a DIY dish, which is ok in principle, just not good to be surprised. The menu doesn't say so; the server didn't mention it. Luckily, by this time of the meal, we have acquired the little table lamp, which enabled me to see the long fish bones that had not been removed. FIVE of them. The noodles are a pathetic overcooked limp pile. The best part is the turmeric sauce. Do not order this dish. Epilogue: I happened to walk by Sophon this past weekend. I was surprised to see a sign saying they are temporarily closed to resolve internal issues. (See photo) That is never a good reflection of management. There is now a GoFundMe for the unpaid staff who had to quit their jobs.

Seemed perfect - cocktails, easily accessible, with tasty looking drinks and snacks. When we arrived at 5:30p on a weekend evening , it wasn't that busy, particularly closer to the bar, so we sat at a table with no people close by. In contrast, there were two groups talking in conversationally norm tones closer the entrance and window. After about 20 Min, a server who didn't originally serve us (apparently the owner) told us it was "quiet reading time" and just repeated the phrase in an annoyed, condescending tone when we tried to ask for clarification regarding what that meant (she seemed to intentionally ignore us despite by friend trying to flag her down 4 times ) . We subsequently asked our original server if our modified whisper level was acceptable. She said "yes" And actually kindly asked us about our hobby. However, the purported owner returned 10 min later , targeting just us (not the people up front who were talking louder than us at this point) , saying we were not complying and needed to close our bill (our drinks were not half-finished at that point). We asked if there was anywhere she could recommend for an alternative to converse quietly, and she bluntly and aggressively stated, "Anywhere but here" to by friend's reasonable question. The onwr then charged me double the cost of my 14 dollar drink ($31) , making not effort to reimburse me and stating that it was my fault for not catching this?!? Huh?!? The owner then proceeded made several concerning, microaggressive, racially concerning statements that left myself and my fellow attendee shocked and sick to our stomachs. I was blown away. I actually recorded part of this on video, but won't post it here unless someone wants a clarification. Next, the owner rapidly escorted us out, though my friend was not asked to pay for his drink. She told Me to "Get out!!!" , and mumbled something that I can't mention, as I am not sure I could believe what I heard. I have lived in Seattle for 24 years and have never been treated as such condescending and insolent manner, let alone by the owner of an establishment that frankly I was excited to check out prior to this debacle. I was looking for a place to gather quietly but apparently they expect you to drink in silence , which was never clarified to me. On top of this, the one person that we could tell was reading, didn't seem bothered when we checked in with her. On top of this, the one person that we could tell was reading, didn't seem bothered when we checked in with her. An older group and separate younger were allowed to carry on despite speaking louder than us (still conversationally , but definitely not whispering as we had been trying to do). Neither of these groups were individuals of color- which I bring up, due to the differential treatment we received despite all of us speaking or whispering in similar tones, and due to the words told to me that I'm having a hard time believing I heard - let's just say I felt "profiled" ... if you know what I mean. In summary , DO NOT come here if you value basic human dignity, kindness, or frankly, sanity. I do not write such negative reviews lightly- Feel free to check my other reviews, which generally are favorable to other restaurants and businesses , as I love to support small, privately owned businesses and entrepreneurs. Further, I've been YELP ELITE in years past , so it's not as if I'm not familiar with how to expect to behave and be treated in this community. Mostly I am truly sorry I ever set foot in such a scary, and hateful space.

The potatoes were not my vibe personally - while I like dijon/grey mustard, there was quite a bit on these. I'm also not a potato person. The BEST part was definitely the mushroom agnolotti - it reminded me of a dish i got at a capital hill restaurant, Cornelly's. The sauce was incredible and salty, the filling was delish. My only thing was that the dried mushrooms on top were a little big and dry for me, that being said, i'd still get this again!
