Service was slow and our food came out wrong the first time. The food was forgettable and lacked quality that would qualify it to be a $45 breakfast for 2. The kicker was the several strands of long black hair I found in my food. No doubt placed there after I had to send my uncomplicated order back for being wrong. There's no shame in writing an order down. Overall, a very forgettable experience and not recommended. read more

Very disappointed. Denny's quality food at twice the price. $19 for a basic breakfast?

Who can't get down with Eggs Bennie!? This is one of my go-to breakfast date orders Went to George's this weekend and decided on the California Bennie (egg, hollandaise, tomato, avocado and bacon on an English muffin). They did not have a light hand with the avocado, it was loaded and delicious! A touch more hollandaise sauce would've been lovely but otherwise the meal was perfection it was a great order! Chicken and waffles made a guest appearance too! Truthfully I wasn't stoked on the dish because I'm not a fan of honey and it seemed the waffle or the syrup was honey infused but the chicken was scrumptious! Crispy, hot and juicy! It's a delicious combo just not my fave. This is personal preference of course so do with it as you will. George's has held the title of being voted best breakfast in Kirkland for the past 9 years! That being said, you can imagine the atmosphere is everything you could want for a memorable breakfast outing. This place is no secret. Expect wait times during the weekends, but not to worry because its' location in downtown Kirkland with boutiques and shops, and one block from the waterfront makes for fun adventures before your meal. Check them out and let me know how it was! read more

George's - CALIFORNIA EGGS BENEDICT (Egg, Hollandaise Sauce, Bacon, Tomato, Avocado on English Muffim with Hashbrowns on the side) - Greek Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I came here on a Thursday just before 9am. It's loud and there was Katie Perry music playing. The person seating us just handed us menus and pointed to the booth we should go to. I don't think he spoke English because he brought me the wrong drink and couldn't understand what I was saying. Instead, he pointed a lot. The food was good, but expensive. Our server was friendly and the wait wasn't overly long. Altogether the experience wasn't worth going again. read more

Came in after an intense spin class and George's did not disappoint. There is a greek twist to traditional American breakfast/ brunch options. The indoor dining seats were also had a cute classic diner vibes. There were so many things int heir menu we wanted to try. It was hard to decide but we were happy with what we got. Greek fries with the feta and seasoning on top is a must. Buffalo Chicken burger was amazing. Baked lasagna was cheesy and saucy to perfection. read more

Weird attitude about cutlery. The (grumpy) man who seated us plunked down a wad of three forks, three knives, and one spoon that we had to disentangle. The burgers were way overdone, the salad was little more than iceberg and vinegar. Not their best day, perhaps? but $100 for three burgers and iced tea felt like a rip-off. Our waiter was sweet though. read more

My wife and I had brunch here. She ordered a "full" Beachgoer omelette and I had a Denver, both with hash browns and english muffins. The service was excellent and orders were quickly prepared and delivered. The omelettes were very thin egg, though filled nicely. Like they were supposed to be 3 egg omelettes that were instead paper thin two eggs. Hash browns were mediocre and lacked seasoning. For $15+ per omelette, I expected a bit better quality and more actual egg. You're paying for location here which is fantastic and a quick walk to the marina. I'd probably recommend iHop instead, but if you want a basic/decent breakfast near downtown this is a good spot. read more

The staff themselves are very nice and the ambience was good. However, the food needs a lot of work. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and the baklava pancakes. The corned beef has was unsalted and I couldn't just bring myself to finish it, it tasted like cardboard. I tried the potatoes, no luck, they were completely unseasoned and barely cooked. The Baklava pancakes were okay, just very sweet. Would not recommend again! read more

Came here for dinner last night. We had the tatchos, gyro with green fries, and pasta carbonara. The food AND service was so great we came back for breakfast in the morning. I had the Monday Usual Omelette-probably the best omelette I've ever had! The hash browns are in the omelette, the bacon was perfectly crispy and plentiful, and presented well. Highly recommended. read more

I am so sorry to be writing this, but we dropped $100 for a simple breakfast and it was worth less than $10 so I feel like my job as Yelper is to provide HONEST feedback. That said... Not sure what happened to this place. Our previous visits have been wonderful, from service to food quality. Today was abysmal from start to finish. The waitress barely cracked a forced smile, wasn't friendly at all. The waiter I don't think said two words to us - just shoved water on the table and literally threw a bunch of napkins and flatware in the middle of the table. My paper menu had old scrambled egg on the back of it - disgusting. The food was horrible. The yogurt parfait for $10 was unstirred plain greek yogurt, an economical dribble of honey, 1/4 cup strawberries and blueberries, and I believe Nature bar "granola" that was clumsily broke into shards and hidden by the fruit on top -- not the mixed fruit from before, the better quality honey. The eggs benedict was a bizarre creamy sauce without lemon -- tasted and looked way differently than the freshly made version I've had before. It was sloppily put together and completely drowned the whole plate. The "meatball sub" was gyro meat, not meatballs, they packed in with some spoons of marinara -- it was disgusting and not edible. The breakfast sausage tasted old and was overcooked, the scrambled eggs had zero flavor. The only decent thing on the table was the waffle. The waitress saw we clearly didn't like the food. Never checked in on us while we ate, never acknowledged the food or anything. We asked for the check and left. I hope whoever manages or owns gets better cooks in the kitchen to execute the menu we all love better and some better staff. read more

Not too bad of a wait, 15-20 min. First thing I noticed was how loud indoors was. Service was good! An extra coffee was added onto my tab, but it was an easy fix. Portions are big; personally didn't like the nuts on the buttermilk pancakes. Biscuits and gravy are good. read more

Love this place, 5 stars every time. Atmosphere, service, menus choices are all on point. But over the years you guys added too much parsley to the Eggs Karkinagri. We come her for this and don't get me wrong, it was still good, but the parsley three it off. Love you guys!!! read more

I'd say this was just okay. I'd be kidding myself if I expected a lot for breakfast, but I was hopeful it would have shad a little more flavor. Service was decent and there was no wait. read more

One of the best places to go for breakfast! Great selections for any type of eater. Their Eggs Benedict is spectacular and the Lumberjack special can satisfy any hungry individual. Although very busy, they move people pretty quickly and wait times aren't horrible. read more

This was a sad experience. My husband worked there in high school. We live over an hour away and were in the area because my husband's mother passed so we decided to stop for breakfast and have a stroll down memory lane. We were sat immediately but then had no other employee ask for coffee or say hi. After 20 minutes I flagged down a bus boy asking if I could just get a cup of coffee. A young man came over and took our order. Our food came out quick. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The eggs were displayed on my plate so you couldn't see the black on the bottom on them. The gravy is canned and the described fresh biscuits were anything but. My husbands eggs were so undercooked the white was runny and his chicken fried steak looked like a preformed hockey puck. The employees sat visiting with each other and were literally leaning on the counter on their phones. The young man said he was the manager and our waitress was new. I found that funny because she was one of the ones on her phone and socializing instead of working. Made a sad day even sadder. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for sometime. The wait is always long. We waited about 45 minutes to get a table. I ordered the eggs Benedict. The egg was cooked to perfection!!! The hollandaise sauce was very flavorful. The service was not that great, waited a while to order and had to get out servers attention for our check. I would be back for the food but the service needs some attention. read more

After eating here, I got really sick from the food. Ah, that's so gross. Is everyone all right after eating here? There needs to be some kind of regulation in this place. It's in the middle of Kirkland! read more

Came here with a hankerin' for breakfast and they delivered. I'm rarely part of the Clean Plate Club but I ate my entire order of steak and eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The staff were great, attentive, and friendly. It's definitely the homey diner I was looking for. It was a Saturday morning so it was kinda busy. I just happened to be able to get a stool at the bar, but some folks were told the wait for a table could be up to an hour, so plan ahead. I'll be back next time I'm in the 'burbs. read more

Wow! We love gyro meat and they have the most create Greek breakfast menu I have ever seen. Thanks to Jorge for the great service. Thanks to the kitchen for filling my belly with goodness. Thanks to all the crowds of people for coming in after us. The wait is worth it, my friends read more

Very nice window seating especially on a nice sunny day. My favorite from the two dishes that I tried was the Strawberry Waffle it really did hit the spot. The Salmon Benedict wasn't a fan but it was okay I would just try something else next time:) read more

The food here is simply not very good. The Eggs Benedict dish was average at best (hollandaise lacked flavor... very subpar). English muffin was barely toasted, which is a crime. Another breakfast dish, a skillet, the ratio of ingredients was way off. Service was very good. But why go to a restaurant if the food is boring and completely forgettable? It is overpriced - actually very expensive. Too bad. Because a cool atmosphere in a great downtown Kirkland location. read more

What a great little brunch spot in Kirkland. And it was definitely a popular spot on a Saturday since many people were celebrating their birthdays here. The menu is combined with Mediterranean and American. There were only happy stomachs around the whole table. I was torn between a classic breakfast and chicken and waffles. But after seeing the pictures the chicken and waffles didn't impress me. Instead I went with the chicken fried steak with crispy hash browns and gravy on the side. The food was super delicious everything was perfect. The hash browns were definitely crispy. The chicken fried steak not too over fried and the gravy was light. The service was great the entire time and I was super delighted with everything. The food kept me full way until dinner which was great for our 10 mile adventures for the day. Super great spot if you're in Kirkland. read more

Came here this morning with my husband for the breakfast, the staff was beyond hospitable and friendly from the moment we walk in. We got a booth by the window. Order some breakfast cocktails and I got the California benedict and my hubs the chorizo Benny, the portions are huge and delicious. They come with a side of hash browns so bring your appetite! Jorge K. Was our waiter and he was so attentive, genuine and kind. read more

Over rated, dangerous to rely on reputation, particularly on service. This is Kirkland, and we expect WA State friendly service, so hoping they can raise the bar higher vs resting on their 40 yr reputation.  Service. Table for 5, please. They had us waiting for 20 minutes while we had 4/5 of our party. Understandable if the place had been packed, but... they had 8 tables that could have been good for us.  Finally, after I pushed a bit more, they sat us down, and with a really bad attitude by the greeter: we could barely hear her when she told us to follow her. Greeters are such an important part of the experience, we started with the wrong foot here.  Once seated, the service from our waiter was better.  He was attentive and patient. Need to empower the greeters to know when it is OK to sit a party even if not everyone is there, based on occupancy vs a broad policy of everyone has to be here (and place was half empty). I was ready to walk out, so pls be mindful and help your employees make the right decisions. Food. Decent California bennedict. Avocado and bacon were nicely balanced. Eggs were poached right. Strawberry Belgian waffles were soft and nicely paired with maple syrup, fresh strawberries. Half fetta and spinach Omellete was light, fresh ingredients, thin egg layer ( which we like but other reviewers disagree).  Drinks. Their regular coffee is better than in other places. Orange juice, while not fresh, acceptable. read more

I have to say I'm kinda surprised Georges doesn't have a solid 4 stars. They're generally busy and seem quite popular. We've been going several times a year for probably a decade. George's has good solid pancakes (I love the Baklava pancakes). Their breakfast sandwich basic and yummy, they don't try and fancy it up. I am fairly disappointed in their omelette however. I like the flavor and filling options but they make the egg really thin and it's mostly filling, I like a better egg balance in an omelette. read more

This is definitely a popular place because it's the only breakfast game in town after other (in my opinion better) options closed down for redevelopment. We were told there was a wait of 45 minutes, but we were seated within about 15 minutes. Coming in, they are really crazy about enforcing masks and vaccination cards, and are so petty about not bringing outside food and drinks to your table (like that cup of coffee you may acquire nearby while waiting). I have never been asked to leave drinks at the host stand at a restaurant before! The food was A-OK and came out very fast. The service was courteous but expedient and infrequent. I ordered a diet coke refill that never came. read more

OOooof - I have a lot to unpack. This place is awesome and it's great for Kirkland to have a greasy spoon type diner. Portions are giant. This for me isn't a good thing. I will eat through whatever is in front of me. Pac Man was big was I was a tyke and I learned from watching him. Some of my fellow Americans in here are exceeding what I would call a safe personal radius. Yelp's classification of Greek, Mediterranean, and American Traditional - yeah, leave the others off, American Diner. Yeah they do a hybrid thing but let's make it easy on the yelp searchers- this is a greasy spoon diner. The food quality - this is not great BUT they are busy AF and it's a greasy spoon. Eggs were dry, chicken and waffles were... dry. Water was... dry. Ok I'm kidding about the water but not the food. It's not great but this I have to support the local diner. It was also PACKED. So I'm giving them a pass. It's no Village Square Cafe but they work hard and it's a nice spot for Kirk. read more

Traveling for business is often a grind. I can't count the number of times I've eaten mediocre breakfasts while living out of a suitcase. You would think that cooking some eggs (over easy,) grilling up some potatoes, frying some bacon and toasting an english muffin would be easy- but I assure you it is an acquired skill to deliver them all, at the same time hot and delicious. I had a breakfast on Saturday, delivered with many smiles and welcoming attitudes. The eggs were perfect, the potatoes were crunchy on the outside warm and delicious on the inside. The bacon was crispy but not burnt, and the english muffin was toasted and buttered to perfection. Thank you nice folks at George's! read more

Came to George's for brunch with the family. I have to say, I am not sure why we don't come here more often. They have TVs for those who want to watch the game, the place is clean and the staff is nice. Now for the food. My husband had the chicken and waffles and I have to say it was really good! The chicken was seasoned really well and the crunch on the breading was awesome. The waffles tasted like there was cinnamon in it which really brought out the combination of flavors of the chicken with the waffles. Personally i loved it. I kind of wanted to steal my husbands plate. I had the half order of the Western omelette which I still couldn't finish. It was perfect and the way they chopped the meats made it easy to cut and eat. And I love their hash browns. Hash browns are my weakness. My son had the kids French toast, which he loved. He finished the whole thing and he rarely finishes his plate. Our server was Jesus and he was very attentive and nice. He made sure we had everything we needed and we left very pleased. We will definitely be back soon! read more

there are better options within blocks. extremely loud inside. *chicken n waffles 3/5 *california omelette 4/5 * biscuits and gravy 2.5/5 The chicken and waffles was just OK. Normal waffle and heavily fried chicken nugget strips. just doesn't flow properly and feels like two different dishes stacked on top of each other. The California omelette my mother enjoyed and said it was fluffy but the filling could have been cooked longer. The biscuits and gravy we got as a side and nor the biscuit or the gravy was worth getting. Bacon was very good and hash browns are pretty good as well. not bad food just not great food either. And you have to yell to hear or talk to anyone, so loud inside. read more

I would give George's a straight forward 3 stars. We have been here twice - once during the breakfast hours and once more towards the lunch hour. Everything from the food to the service is a solid 3. First visit: the BF had and LOVED the Olympic Omelet that is made with Gyro meat (delish!), olives, onions, tomatoes & feta ($13.99 with toast and hashbrowns). This was fantastic and HUGE! 2 thumbs up. I had the Biscuits and Gravy - it came with 2 eggs any style and hashbrowns. I have to say...SO DISAPPOINTED from the top down. The biscuits were flat, dry and tasteless (oh, and not even warm). And the gravy was lackluster and sparse (okay - stingy!). I also asked for sliced tomatoes instead of eggs, and they were the end slices with a lot of stem and on the green side. With that said, the service was friendly, and decent. Give them another try...the BF loved his omelet... Second visit: the BF repeated his Olympic Omelet - smart move! It was after noon, so I decided to give the Santorini Grinder with fries a whirl. In a nutshell - HUGE. Same yummy meat as the omelet the BF is digging. Way too much sauce and feta for me - maybe those on the side? And, the fries were lukewarm - ARG! One thing I noticed on the 2nd visit as we dined at the counter - some food that was ready to go sat for a LONG TIME waiting to be delivered. Why? I have no clue. But that is clearly adding to the lukewarm temperature of the food that makes me crazy. All of these people swarming around - deliver the food! Anywho - 3 stars...I will try them again because I REALLY want to LOVE this place! read more

George's is a great staple of downtown Kirkland, faithfully serving good food with friendly service. Weekend brunch might be a wait, but they take your phone number so you can grab a Starbucks around the corner while you wait. Excellent spot for outdoor seating before 1 PM if you have little ones who aren't yet vaccinated, but the huge open windows make the indoor seating safer too. We love their chicken and waffles or the lumberjack breakfast with some of everything. For me, the keto plate or the runner's omelette provides a healthy option. The Cobb salad has so much good stuff going on other than lettuce, you'll think you ordered a fantastic fresh grilled chicken bowl. Live music happens on Thursday nights for a cool hangout spot. read more

Went here to have breakfast. Had just bought a Starbucks. Wouldn't let me bring it in even though I was going to buy a drink from them too. Wha? Do they think they're TSA at the airport? Very rude staff. I've had their food and it's overrated so not missing anything. My money went elsewhere: Stupid policy!! read more

They have a no outside drink policy. I genuinely don't understand why that is a rule. I've heard that the food was good and was excited to try it but was turn away because I had my morning coffee with me. The women wouldn't make an exception and because of that, they lost customers. Please change that rule, bc not everyone wants a crummy dinner coffee. read more

Basic diner breakfast, Eastside prices. It took a long time for our order to be taken but the food was served quickly. We had eggs, hashbrowns and toast. The coffee was just OK. The hashbrowns were mostly cooked but I like them well, well done. The check also came quickly. read more

Really wanted a blood mary yesterday and found this place. Got the bacon Bloody Mary, had to wait for the bacon after our drinks came because it wasn't "done" yet. Either way, the bacon was delicious, the Bloody Mary was spicy (although I prefer mine spicier). Came for breakfast but ended up ordering lunch. I got the gyro with regular gyro meat (you can also ask for chicken), and Greek fries (waffle fries with feta). It was amazing! And HUGE. It was feta and tzatiki sauce galore (as well as lettuce tomato). At this point I realized this was a Greek restaurant. They have a special for each day of the week, and a special of the day for each meal (breakfast/lunch). They have a full bar, and happy hour as well. Received scratch tickets for a discount (or something) on our next visit, definitely will be back again. read more

I have been going to George's long enough to experience a layout change and a menu change. The food is still good, but I am no longer able to order my favorite breakfast item (Johnny's Muffin) without also getting unnecessary side dishes. No biggie, but it does drive the price up. read more

Really was excited to try this place. Hostess was on top of it and very attentive however our server was horrible. He didn't even come to our table until 20 mins after we were seated and we had to tell the hostess to grab him. Plus we had our one year old with us so you would think a server would have common sense to be somewhat quick about getting your order if there's a baby with you. When he finally showed up he didn't even say sorry for the delay or anything. The food was bland. I got the corned beef hash and corned beef was very dry and almost stale seeming and not a bit of flavor in the dish. Won't be coming back here. read more

We are regulars here but this time it felt wrong being here, we got our seats and waited for about 20min looking at the service guys walk right across our faces multiple time, one of them looked and chose to walk away the other side. then the same person decides to walk towards us we we decided to approach the front desk. So all we told him was "hey man, we have been waiting for 20 minutes" and his response was "look man this is not a fast food" instead of apologising for making us wait. That's disrespectful. We as a family come here post our Sunday church every weekend. Food is really good the turn down is the way we treat people, that not acceptable read more
