Baklava pancake: absolute perfection
Sherry T.

It's not often that a place earns a five star from me, and yet George's knocked it out of the ballpark. Food: the Greek hash, chicken fried steak, and baklava pancake were outstanding. My boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak, and although it is not usually my thing, this was an exception. I just wanted more of it. Service: also outstanding--friendly, quick, and outrageously attentive. Ambiance: old school diner with well worn, yet still comfortable, booths. The place, including the restrooms were clean. It was hard to find much "wrong" with this place, and yet there are some small improvements that could be made--better quality bread for sourdough toast, heavy cream rather than half and half, and locally made preserves. If those changes were made, this would have been a perfect experience.

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed this place already! This spot is an absolute stand out in downtown Kirkland. I've been here for breakfast more often than I can remember (2-3 times a month going back to 2022), and I've always come away happy. I usually get the Keto plate or one of the omelets, but enjoy this picture I took of the baklava pancakes! For dinner, I've had both their gyro and their smash burger and loved them. It's worth pointing out also that their french fries are possibly the best you'll get at any spot in the area. If all of that weren't enough, their staff are delightful and charming!

Has become a place to go in Kirkland for old fashioned breakfast that's non pretentious. I like to go here myself, just taking a walk, and order basic breakfast. Service is pretty quick and I usually get a table.

Garden Benedict

Yo, how's this place not at least 4? 5/5 for sure! there were so many more things we wanted to get but we didn't want to go overboard!! Started off with a cup of OJ and an iced caramel machattio. I got the garden benedict, while my fiance got the lumberjack scramble with a Belgian waffle (& of course he had to add strawberries) we were going to stop there, but couldn't resist and ordered a side of poutine. There were so many good things on the menu, we were debating of getting ALL OF THE THINGS, but it'll be even more reason to come back. Service was speedy & spectacular. Food came out quick and honestly didn't need much checking in because the food was so god dang good. Classic diner vibes with the Mediterranean inspiration and also a bar?! 10/10, 5/5 - I ain't got nothing left to say besides that I'll 100% be back and be regulars!

Clean restroom
Sharron D.

Highly recommended. This is a great place for breakfast. Love the ambiance. Service is 5/5. Food is 5/5 and there is parking in front of building if you arrive early. There is a pay parking around the corner. Loved the breakfast I had for my birthday . Totally amazing, so much food . Love the coffee, I ordered a fiesta omelette with sour dough bread. Everything was amazing. I will be back for sure. They have a bar and happy hour I think I saw on the menu. Prices very reasonable. Overall rating 5/5 no issues everything excellent!

Greek Hash
Carol C.

Uncertain of what we wanted for lunch, we stumbled upon George's in Kirkland. As we walked by and saw that it was busy and plates were empty were indicators we should go in. We were not disappointed. Hubby and I family styled the pot roast melt with crispy tots and the Greek hash. Both were delicious and we both agreed the pot roast melt was our favorite because of the tender beef that was melt in your mouth delicious! Hubby also appreciated that the French roll that it was served on did not cut the roof of his mouth. The caramelized onions were a little underdone and on the crunchy side. We were seated right away, food came quickly and we were outta there in time for our next stop. Service was friendly and our water glasses were always filled. George's has a vast menu - there is something for everyone. It's a great spot for breakfast, brunch/lunch and is family friendly. Parking was not an issue on a Saturday afternoon.

Oh my goodness, if you get anything at DERU, GET THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE PLEASE…read more It's been a few weeks since I've gotten it and I still think about that cake. (I haven't justified buying a whole cake for myself, but I truly want to--and am tempted to do so) The food is great and I'd love to go back. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't as busy as it would be on the weekend. The servers are kind, and you typically order from a QR code unless you're having a hard time (and they'll help you!). Quiet space. Some parking available on site but it can get busy on the weekends from what I've heard.

Cute little place with good food and informal setting. Their dishes are pretty nicely thought out…read morebut oftentimes a number of them will be "out of stock" even leading into dinner time, but this is understandable if that's because they're aiming for freshness. What is not so great is that they've replaced human interaction and paper menus with a QR code based menu (annoying but becoming more common) and the only way to order is also through your phone (this is the part that is not common and really sucks). Been to DERU twice. First time my phone wouldn't let the order submit after polling everyone to put what they wanted into the "cart". Eventually some poor fellow who worked there had to use his little iPad and we all had to repeat ourselves to recreate the order after we'd already done the exercise on my phone. Second visit same thing- this time we had to recreate the order a few times on different peoples phones in our party until one of them could finally submit the purchase, and then they immediately started getting emails they weren't expecting as an outcome, their cell phone number was on our order ticket- so beware when you think you're just providing your credit card info- you're actually giving much more than that. We gathered for dinner to spend quality time together in real life and to get away from our phones but because of DERU's ordering system we instead spent the first 20 minutes of our dinner all on our phones. Then during the meal people would finish their glass of wine and want another- phone comes back out! This happened throughout the meal because, shockingly, people don't finish their glasses of wine at the same time, so all in all someone was pretty much on their phone close to the entire meal. Quite antithetical to the goal of human interaction and enjoying a nice dinner together. If they got rid of this ridiculous phone based menu and ordering system I would double my rating AND my tip. But at this point I may not come back for awhile.

The food is 3 star level though. So it's.. Okay.. But it wasn't that good. We got the breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwiche. Presentation was good but flavor was meh. This restaurant gives the feel of trying to do to many things at once. Nothing worked together. The decor was all over the place. The menu tried to cover too many things. The service was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. But ugh.. The flies. I couldn't stand it.

We mistakenly went to the adjacent underground parking garage. You tell the waiter your license plate to validate parking. The chickpea curry was a bit bland. The tostones were good garlicky and crispy. The coconut cake could have been moister and less sweet.

Island Soul is AWESOME! Island Soul bought/replaced Arleana's in downtown Kirkland. I have always…read morewanted to dine at the Island Soul in Columbia City, but it was always crowded requiring some planning. We made a reservation the day before easily. The interior is superb. This place would be great for date-night or get a drink or have a family meal. Our server was attentive and helpful, making a change for us last minute with a 'I gotcha ya' attitude - LOVE! Thank you! The food is so, so good! The Seattle area doesn't have enough 'soul', southern, creole, 'island' type of foods. This place fills the perfect niche. I have the urge to say 'hmmm, hmmm' dining here! Yum! Parking is free under the building, and nearby street parking tends to be available, too. The Food: Blackened Salmon, $33 - 5 Stars Menu: Salmon, corn soubise, fried plantains, fried okra We both wanted this as our main dish, so this is a 2X. The salmon is perfectly seasoned and grilled. You can SEE the seasoning on the fish. So glad they included pieces of okra. The frying/searing gives it the perfect chew. Fried Green Tomatoes, $15 - 5 Stars Menu: Green tomatoes, panko, egg, onion, Buddha's belly seasoning This dish is known as their must order. I have no clue what Buddha's belly seasoning is, but I can tell you it is tasty. Fried green tomatoes is a perfect southern dish (and I will always think about the movie). Wings, Jerk seasoning, $18 - 5 Stars Like many, we're suckers for wings. Even better if the seasoning is different. Jerk wings is rightfully popular, here. The sauce is generously applied, and every bit is delicious. The flavorful foods will have me returning for sure!

What a great dining experience for my birthday! Loved every minute of it. We were greeted…read moreimmediately, found our reservation and seated very fast, and very friendly. Teresa was our server, excellent service and very friendly, providing valuable details about the menu, etc. My wife ordered a surprise birthday cocktail for me, which was their version of an Old Fashioned (To The Bitter End), which was really good, large ice cube! My wife had the rum cocktail (Death in the Tropics), which was good, not her favorite. We dined slowly as we were not in a hurry, but were advised we had a 90 minute dining window. We overstayed by about 15 minutes, but it was their fault as they provided a complimentary dessert for my birthday, nice touch. For food, we started with the bread with black garlic spread, Along with the Rain Dog Chop salad, which were both delicious. We could not decide on an entree to share so we ordered 2. The Moroccan Chicken with cous cous (was AWESOME) and the Mushroom Pasta (Good but not great). After finishing, we agreed the Moroccan Chicken would have been enough by itself. Ample portion, wonderfully prepared. Draft beer and glass wine selections were excellent. I really enjoyed the No Boat Brewery beer. Thanks for making my birthday dinner a special one.

This place is listed as a cocktail bar, but has great food options as well! I had the halibut, and…read moreit was perfectly cooked and delicious.
