    Bacon Cheddar Burger
    Emily R.

    Food is always impeccable and delicious. Remains one of our favorite spots to take friends and family. We almost always order the special offer but do also get our favorites like the guacamole and drinks. Incredible customer service. Wonderful people who are so attentive to every customer. Beautiful space. Will be back soon.

    Loved the food and service was fast and friendly. I love the guacamole and margaritas. I love the lunch menu where you can pick a soup and salad combo. Definitely will be back soon.

    I could live off the potato tacos on the appetizers menu. Only drawback is they don't offer a spicy salsa to go along with it. Now.. When feeling fancy I order lobster tails. The mashed potatoes are amazing and enough leftovers to make my own potato tacos at home. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel welcome from start to finish. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to something a little fancy, this spot delivers. I'm so glad to have a place like this nearby. It's proof that you don't need to travel far for high-quality Mexican food in a beautiful setting. Can't wait to go back!

    I am from a different state and I make sure to visit this place every year when I visit. ITS THAT GOOD! And they hav never once disappointed me. The quality of the food, the ambiance, and the best customer service. The dishes I have ordered from here include tomahawk steak and other steaks which is was by far my favorite. The mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and crunchy onion strips were to die for. So flavorful and every bite was incredible. French fries, shrimp, bread and butter with the French onion soup blew me away. I love that they keep the skin on the French fries! I've enjoyed two of their drinks and was impressed with the quality and flavor in every sip. I've had jalapeño margaritas and the sangria which were balanced perfectly with spice, sour, and sweetness.

    Excellent dining experience. The food was excellent. Highly recommend getting the bacon wrapped scallops. The steak and lobster was made to perfection. An dessert was just as good.

    Filet mignon and lobster
    Erika B.

    This place is great for a celebratory dinner. Their drinks were yummy. And the filet mignon with lobster was worth the money. There was plenty of seating, indoors and outdoors. The only thing i can see an issue is maybe parking. But thats about it.

    Their amazing Filet Mignon medium rare, asparagus, twice baked potato, and 2 tender and perfectly prepared Lobster Tails!  Bravo!

    My first time at Francisco's with my family! On my son's recommendation. We had a fantastic experience! Our server, A.J. was outstanding! The beverages were amazing! Appetizers of Quac & Chips was very good! Wedge Salad! We had assorted entrees ~ Prime Rib, Tacos, Burgers, and I had their Filet Mignon with 2 Lobster Tails! It was a great time and we will definitely be back there soon! Good parking. Quick Service. Excellent Quality. Friendly Service. Amazing presentation and preparation and quality food!

    Four appetizers (there were four tacos) $70 after tip of 20%..
    Chris R.

    Stopped in this afternoon for a quick bite and enjoyed almost everything! It was nice and clean, we were greeted by Francisco himself when we arrived. Marco was our server and he did a very good job also. The Ceviche was the highlight both in presentation and flavor. We also enjoyed their potato tacos and fries. The garlic shrimp was ok.. just too much cheese. Prices were a little high for what we received over all. Locally owned an operated, definitely worth a try!

    kids meal

    The restaurant is next to the lake. We met some friends here and grabbed dinner. They have an adult and kid menu. The food was fantastic. I got a burger, and it was thick with flavor and juices. My husband got a steak with shrimp. The portion size is average. They do have to-go boxes if you want to order out or take leftovers home. They have a cool peak a boo window on the floor to see the lake. The day we went the water was very low, but an unexpected find. There is also an outdoor eating area with umbrellas. It was cold, windy, and rainy the day we went so we ate indoors. The patio area would be nice to enjoy in better weather. There is a parking lot in the front but could also park at the lake and walk over if full. If in the area, it is a great place to grab a bite.

    Kind staff, great food! We chose to sit outside which was maybe a mistake...the patio is right next to the road so you will hear all of the cars pass by, which isn't really my thing. The inside is super cute, so if we were to find ourselves in this area again, we'd definitely sit inside. We came in a little after 3 on a Tuesday expecting happy hour based on previous Yelp photos of menus and were a little disappointed when we arrived and there wasn't happy hour. Regardless, we ordered drinks, nachos, and tacos. The food was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers. The nachos were loaded and the tacos juicy and refreshing. Yum!

    Chicken En Rajas
    Tavon P.

    My wife and I decided to check this place out because the weather was surprisingly nice. In the PNW, when there is a nose sunny day you have to take advantage. I thought the establishment was nice inside and has a modern "clean" look. The staff was good and service was a 8/10. I chose the Oscar Chicken. The chicken was smothered in scallops, shrimp and bearnaise sauce. My sides were asparagus and mash potatoes. It's always a good meal if you would go back again. I give it a 8.5/10. My wife had the chick en rajas. She advised me to talk y'all it was a 10 out of 10. What we really appreciated is the food came out at the perfect temperature. The food was hot but not to the degree of burning. Each bite was warm, juicy and filled with flavor. I recommend this spot to anyone and it's in a great area in lake Stevens. There's a lake/park across the street that makes for a great leisure walk post meal.

    They have gluten-free options?

    They have gluten free items like steak and salmon. I asked about gluten free tortillas and was told no. This is a very new restaurant and is still evolving. The flavors were good as was the service. We will go back.

    I'm not sure how I havent reviewed Hawkeyes yet because this place is so awesome that my family…read moreeats there twice a month at least. We love the family friendly atmosphere and the always friendly waitresses. The food is consistently well-made and delicious. We've been here more times than I can count and have never had a less than great experience. I'm O B S E S S E D with their homemade soups. They are to die for. Best clam chowder and fish in chips in town, too! Better than any seafood restaurant I've been to in this state, way better than Ivars. And every time we go, they have a new soup to try! Which is awesome, but also sometimes frustrating because I've had several that I'd love to have again (Mexican chicken noodle and creamy mushroom chicken live rent free in my head) But they never seem to offer the special soups on any kind of rotation. Can we get a soup calendar on the website?! Not even joking. The number of times I've nearly rear ended people while driving by trying to catch the soup of the day on the sign outside is a little embarrassing. I love this place. The only things I could suggest to make this place even better are minor. The iced tea is not great. Tastes more like tap water than tea. And I wish they had a kids steak option on the kids menu because my kids always want some of our steak. Also, I wish they would turn the music down slightly during the family friendly hours. It gets quite loud. But other than those tiny detail, Hawkeyes is my kinda place!

    In short People around here have such mixed feelings about…read morethe Buzz, ranging from Never Again to Big Favorite. They've always seemed just okay to me, but this one was perfectly fine today. In long This is kind of a nice strip mall complex, as these things go. BI has an end unit with a dining room toward the front and a lounge tucked in back. Both were busy today with a late-breakfast crowd. I had some time to kill and figured I wouldn't feel too bad taking up a table at a place this big. They're promoting breakfast with a big banner out front at the moment, which it turns out you order at the counter. I'm immediately guilt-free about taking up a table if they aren't sending servers out, just expediters. Dig it. They put a tray of ice waters on the counter--they've clearly dialed up the at-the-counter vibe to near table-service levels. I got an omelet and a coffee. They gave me a little table number and the expo brought my stuff out pretty quickly. I gotta say both the girls working today were super friendly and nice and made the place feel much more welcoming than another BI I hit a while back. The coffee here was surprisingly good--not overly roasted, solid flavor. The mug was from the roaster, whose name I've already forgotten. Kinda showing some pride in their coffee efforts. The food was decent. Clearly everything was out of a bag--processed cheese, egg mix rather than cracked shells. But good, despite the cheese being a little gluey. Hash browns had good flavor and crunch, biscuit was alright, too. Easy to finish, even though this was a little more food than I really needed today. Prices here are very fair. And I gotta say that big groups of friends filled every table and half the booths. Both rooms of the lounge were hoppin', too, and it was in between typical rush hours for breakfast or lunch. I think this BI might be the more-dependable link in the chain.

The vibe is good, kind of like an underground restaurant would be back in the day. Service was very good; very attentive. The food is really overpriced however for what you get. The HH menu is good and that seems to be the better deal vs. dinner. Drinks were OK but they really need more tap beers than just pouring from a can. That's really weak for such a pricey place. Very disappointing. I had the chicken remoulade which was very overpriced for the quantity of food. It consisted of a single "smallish" chicken thigh with cauliflower and sauce. It was tasty but not at all filling. It needed more sauce as well. The ladies had a couple salads and yes they were overpriced for what you got. If you go, just stick with the HH menu and you won't be disappointed. I will not come back simply because it's just way too expensive and I'd rather get a better deal on a great dinner than this place.
