Good view of the ballfield And much better food than I expected for the ballpark. Hubs loved the bbq wings and the chicken nachos. I enjoyed my chicken Cobb salad. Prices were comparable to regular restaurant and we thought a little more reasonable than the food stands in the stadium. read more

How did I not know about this? This restaurant is in the ballpark and open to anyone at the game as long as it hasn't been rented out for an event. My husband and I had reasonably priced drinks and fairly decent food (he had wings, I had the spicy chicken sandwich) for the whole game -- and a better view than if we had sat in our assigned seats. It's also a pretty exciting experience seeing the home runs coming so close! I would totally come through here again when we next come to a game. The server was really kind but they were clearly understaffed so don't expect really attentive or fast service. But for a slow dinner while watching the game, it was a win for us! read more

Oh man. Great price for great service! We ordered the nachos tower, which the guy next to me finished the entire plate(very impressive), also ordered the tonkatsu that you can get downstairs in the 147 level, I think, and garlic fries. It's great seating and great hospitality. And to top it all off, can add a cheese cake to it as well! read more

I feel like it should just all be rails! it's kinda lame at table when everyone has to turn a adjust chairs to see game. Nachos were good, chicken sando ok....nothing special really. read more

I used to love to eat here. It was fun and it was good. Now, the young workers in there are the best. The hostess, shirt-haired African-American woman who was our waitress, were awesome. I hope they have great jobs post season. They were so attentive and personalized the experience. They were the 5 stars. Yet, if you go to Safeco, and want good food, disregarding this place. The food was shockingly bad. The appetizer nachos were fine. But the presentation made it extremely difficult to eat. It was like playing culinary Jenga. I don't want to strategize on how to get to and then eat food. Do you? The waffle fries were by far the worst I've ever tasted. No flavor. Cold. Under cooked. The salmon burger was burnt and therefore dry. Next time, I go to an Mariners game: Ivar's, Moto, or bring in my own subway sandwich. If you're in the Terrace 290 level, hit the seafood stand on the left field patio. read more

We ordered the burger without reading the menu. It was outstanding Had we known it was so big (double meat) we would have split it instead of ordering two. It had all the typical fixings, which were fresh and plentiful. It was so good, I had no trouble eating all of it! We both left about half the fries only because we wanted every bite of the burger. Glad I had some stretch in my jeans read more

We come here before every game. Even as the menu changes, we always find thing to enjoy here. When we arrived, the host told us the wait was 45 minutes but the bar was open seating. We enjoyed our hightop table in the bar just fine. This last time, our highlight was honestly the Southwestern cesar salad! It was more flavorful and refreshing than most cesars... unexpectedly a family favorite. Next time we get two! read more

Good good amazing service, Food was timely and fresh. Will definitely go back for the good vibes and even better baseball.

I have been to Hit It Here Cafe several times. We enjoy the view. The seats are in right field so you can see everything but any play right below you. With the $18 food credit, the seats are priced at $43...I've sat in $60 seats with not the atmosphere you get in HIHC. Food is good. If you don't like what's on menu, eat before and drink up your credit. We've had good service. It gets busy, but we haven't had an issue. I always try for front row but the high tops ( need 4 people ) aren't bad either. I recommend this place. read more

After reading through other Yelp reviews, I expected service to be slow and sure enough, it was. I got the Pastrami Reuben Sandwich for $16. It was pretty big and had a lot of meat. It came with French fries and they were golden and crispy which were pretty good. The view from our table was great, but I don't think I need to eat here again with all of the other great options at Safeco. Darn it, T-Mobile Park. read more

Ive been visiting Safeco since opening day, and this was our first trip to Hit it here With tickets in the front row. Pros- Service was good and quick. Selection was great and food we ordered was decent. $11.50-13.50 for beer was a huge turn off. Tickets were $44 with each ticket getting $18 food credit. Cons- FREEZING inside. It was 64* at game time and they were blasting the AC. Sitting in the front row actually took away from the game. You couldn't hear the stadium, you couldn't see jumbo tron, couldnt hear announcer, no TV's.... So it made us feel very disconnected from the game. We left in 4th inning because we wanted to experience the baseball game. Also in our seats we had foul pole blocking most of the action views. read more

Between the flowing beers (plus five stars) and the Mariners losing to the Yankees (minus five stars), it's very hard to be objective about my experience but I'll try. We got tickets for seats at the cafe. The tickets were a little pricey upfront, but worked out fine because our tickets came with an $18 food credit. Food was standard ball park prices, if not a little cheaper for some options ($5 beer! I haven't found $5 beer anywhere else in the park!). The view from the seats were decent, though you can get better views for less if that's your priority. As another reviewer said, you can't treat this as a standard restaurant review. You're here for the ball game experience, not the foodie experience. Food was good enough, service was excellent, and the menu had a solid variety of food and drink options. Also, bathrooms and everything else in the cafe were noticeably cleaner than in other parts of the park. Overall, it was fun and different to get the sit-down experience at a ball game, and a nice change from the usual. I'd definitely sit here again! read more

Good was surprisingly good. Loved the different view of the game and convenience of service.

More like Hate it Here Cafe. I had a really awful time at the M's game last night. The hostesses were unhelpful and a little rude answering our questions when we first go there. It took us 20+ minutes to finally see a server. I had really wanted the KuKu fries, but after 35 more minutes still nothing. I asked my server, (which I had seen twice total in almost one hour) and she said that they still were not ready, at which point I bailed. I missed three and a half innings of the game and walked again with nothing. I will not come back here. read more

So many good options for discerning tastes! Whether you want sushi, sandwiches, hot dogs, or salad, they have you covered! I usually select a craft brew in this area and on Sunday I had a sugar snap pea salad on leafy greens with a veggie dog cut up and put on top to get in a dose of protein. This meal set me back $14 but was well worth it. I loved every bite and it filled me up..so much so that I managed to get through nine innings without eating too much junk food! read more

Before the season started, there was a lot of hype about all of the new menu options at Safeco Field this year. In one place I read, it stated most of the new meal items would be in the Hit it Here Cafe and that they would have a pretty expansive menu of upscale options. My friend Ron M. and I went to the Cafe over the weekend in hopes of trying some of these more upscale menu items. However, when we arrived, there was really nothing too different on the menu than items found in other areas of the park. There were burgers, dogs, various flatbreads (a few only found there, but some of them were easily available in other areas of the park), etc. There were some appetizers and salads not found elsewhere, but nothing really excited our taste buds too much. We started out with the Clam Dip, which was...a bit odd. It was very thin, almost like a clam chowder, and had hardly any chunks of clam or anything else, really. It was pretty sub-par. For entrees, I went with the Calabrian flatbread and Ron had the BBQ chicken. The BBQ chicken was far better, but neither were particularly great. The dough was too thick to be a flatbread, in my opinion, and both pizzas were quite oily. My pizza had little-to-no flavor. The only thing really worth writing home about was the lemonade, which was super tasty and flavorful. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. Service was really friendly, but fairly slow at the end. Our food came out quickly, but trying to get our check and leave took a bit longer than necessary. Prices are quite high, especially for the quality of the food. I can't finish this review without mentioning the view, however, which is obviously outstanding. It's probably what bumps this review up to a 3. Overall, I highly doubt I will be back. There are other places in the park with better, cheaper food (and equally outstanding views). read more

When my boyfriend suggested the Hit it Here Cafe while at the Mariners game, I wasn't convinced on trying it. I thought, "We are at a baseball game! We should be getting stadium food, not sitting at a restaurant!" It's a lot smaller than I thought. The rows of seats are staggered from the window, with the first few rows being for customers with actual game tickets in that seat. We were seated in the first row of tables on the lower level, behind those ticket holder seats. Big glass windows make it easy to watch the game - unless the sun is setting (like it was) and the glare is so bad you find yourself just watching the game on one of the TV's. I didn't even watch the first 3 innings of the game while we were in there. Too hard to see out the window with the sun, and trying to carry on a conversation while watching a game on TV and trying to eat isn't as easy as it sounds. The service was okay. She was slow, kinda seemed like she was new. Didn't really interact with us much, but that is okay - she was very friendly. She was able to get our order in quickly and correctly, and made sure to check on us as needed with refills on drinks. The food was pretty good. Burgers are not made to order, all come cooked well done. I got the Hit It Here Burger ($14). It was big, the vegetables were fresh, and it just looked delicious. Came with a hearty amount of fries with it as well. The only complaint I had was that it was really dry as it was pretty well done, and there was no sauce of any kind on the burger. I added some BBQ sauce though and that seemed to help a little. My boyfriend got the Bacon & Egg Burger ($15) and said it was great as well, and very filling. Honestly, I probably won't come back. If I am going to a game, I am going for the baseball experience - hot dogs, garlic fries, beer, and to be able to actually watch the game. read more

I have been to the bar a few times. The last time was on a night when there were not a lot of people at the stadium. We sat down immediately, ordered drinks and food right away, and our order came very quick and was correct! The service was great. The prices were about average for Seattle food and the beer was the same price as the rest of the stadium; expensive! $12/24oz. No more 16oz! Good spot to go when at the stadium. I will be back. For single folks this seemed like a spot to mingle. read more

This review is based on the Hit it Here cafe, and not on the Mariners or Safeco field in general... An average ticket in the Hit it Here Cafe will cost $50 a person, this does include $15 in food credit, which can be used on beer. This makes the cost in reality about $35 if you know you will be buying food or beer. Having a table and a less cramped area to watch the game though is the only thing this place has going for it. It sure is nice to have room to move and a table to sit food and other items on during the game. The food is basic and like all other ball park food is very overpriced. The service is acceptable, but nothing outstanding and if it was truly meant to be full service could be considered poor. Having unlimited free water refils to your table would sure be nice though on a hot day! One down side to the Hit it Here cafe though is you really feel allianted from the ball park noise. You are in a sense in your own area and you cant here the cheers of the fans, the popcorn vendors ect...In addition, during late evening games, the sun will be shining directly in your eyes. Overall, I would recommend getting a $35 dollar seat in the stadium and either buying food from the many concession stands or better yet just eating outside of the park. read more

I really enjoyed my first experience with the hit it here cafe! Everything on the menu sounded amazing and looked amazing! We got the biggest thing of nachos I have ever seen! Two of us couldn't finish them! Loved all the toppings(did not skimp). Also got the wings, great heat and cooked perfect. Just wished they were crispier. The beer and alcohol selection is way better then the rest of the park. We sat outside which was super nice. Except you are blinded by the sun till it goes under the stadium. But hey it was a sunny day can't complain about sun! Service was good. Plan to come back to try the other items!! Also get $18 food credit with your ticket! read more

So of course this is the restaurant inside Safeco field. Ordered chicken wings and they were pretty unique. I always appreciate that when they have an original taste. Service was typical of stadium help. Just kind of got around to us when they could and were happy when we were gone. The food was decently priced considering it was stadium food. read more

This review is for the counter seats facing the field. The four top tables where you sit sideways to the game is a much different experience and not a good one. The counter seats are very fun and comfortable. Food is good for a sporting event. If this was an outside restaurant this would NOT be a four star review but that said, we always look forward to the Hit It Here Cafe and it is really my favorite place to watch a game. We actually had Club Level seats that we sold as we wanted to sit here instead. Service can be very slow but you are not going anywhere for 3 to 4 hours. The flatbreads are pretty darn good. read more

This review is based on seating location and vibe at Safeco Field. I didn't get an opportunity to try the food here. Too full on beer. Next time I definitely will be trying the Bacon & Egg Burger which was what originally grabbed my attention to this spot. This is a top spot to sit and watch a Mariner's game. Tickets after taxes and fees are $65ea. Includes reserved seats and $18 food & beverage credit. The cafe is located in the outfield and you're not too high up. You still have a decent view. We had table seats in row 1. This is a fun way to enjoy a game with family/ friends. I will return here for sure. read more

To quote Michael Bluth, I don't know what I expected? It's stadium food. I guess I hoped at minimum my food would be free of VISIBLE contaminants that are a choking hazard. I had the Brussels sprout salad which was good but mine came with a secret ingredient of a big piece of plastic wrap. I mean, I am not a sensitive person, I am a firm adherent to the five second rule, so it didn't really gross me out and I finished the salad but some people might get really skeeved and they didn't offer to get me a new salad or comp the salad which I thought was not the best customer service. The waitress when I showed her the plastic just kind of waved it off and said it was part of the salad packaging. Even so. Accidents happen but I feel like they should have offered me a new salad. If it's park of the packaging that means that it would have come into contact with numerous surfaces, hands, etc. that's not ideal. read more

I describe myself as "passionately apathetic" about sports. We attended the Mariners' game only because my wife wanted to (we walked from our Belltown apartment). We purchased the cheapest seats, using my military discount. Our plan was to have an early dinner in this restaurant, then return to our assigned seats, which we did. Yes, I'm male and not a sports fan. I'm not gay, and I'm not a traitor (I'm a retired Navy Commander, among other things. My Navy pilot career was spent mostly in combat units). I love this country and I love my wife. I just take no pleasure in vicariously reveling in the glory of people who are financial whores. Professional sports is a business -- nothing more. I have my own identify, and needn't assume the mantle of a professional sports team to have one. In retrospect, a better plan for our outing would have been to purchase tickets for the restaurant. Those cost $45, and give you a reserved eating spot that overlooks the stadium, with a fine view of the game (for those who care about it). It also includes a $18 food credit. I believe it also includes a seat in the stadium. Why use that seat, when you already have a great view of the game? In comparison, we paid $27 each for our cheapest tickets (pretty good seats, though nearly in the stratosphere), using the military discount. Add in an $18 food credit, and the total charge would be $45 -- the same as having a great view of the game from a reserved seat in the restaurant. Otherwise, you're banished to the bar-type tables with no view of the game, as we were. This fits into the category of a "no-brainer", if you're planning to buy food at the stadium. As for the restaurant, our server was only occasionally seen. We actually had better service from another server, who passed by our table. I slipped him a few bucks, for taking good care of us, when we weren't at this table. That was deducted from our server's tip. The food was best described as "okay", but certainly not great. Prices were surprisingly less obscene than I expected, though still more than restaurant prices (not a surprise, given the nature of it). Standards for food acceptability are significantly different when camping, flying on an airline, or trying to survive a major natural disaster. With that qualifier, our fish-and-chips meal and burger were okay -- by sports stadium standards. In a normal restaurant, I would have complained to the manager. Don't come here for a gourmet meal -- come for the experience of watching the Mariners be humiliated by whatever team is visiting Seattle. For drinks, your best bet is to go to the bartender yourself. Otherwise, you'll be frustrated by the casual service. **IF** I were to attend another Mariners game (unlikely, though I'd like to watch a Rainiers game), I'd definitely purchase the restaurant package, if I were planning to eat at the stadium. "It ain't great", but it's a heckuva lot better than standing in those long lines for over-priced food and drink. When one considers the crowds at bars and restaurants near Safeco Field, this isn't a bad alternative -- really! For those who care about such things (we certainly do), the credit card charges are attributed to "Restaurants - Catering". I dunno if Costco's CitiBank Visa will call that a restaurant (3% rebate) or "other" (1% rebate). I couldn't tell from our on-line account. We'll need to wait until we receive the statement in the mail. Otherwise, I'll use a different card (2.5% rebate for everything) if we return here (unlikely). BTW, the stadium Wi-Fi sucks. I appreciate the effort, but it's inadequate. I used a portable hotspot (Verizon, if anyone cares). I'll attach pix of the menus, if Yelp will allow. read more

Never got served. After 30 minutes of waiting, I asked a passing server, who said our server would be Jerrin and he would let him know we were waiting. I saw him talk to our server, which did nothing to improve our situation. I watched as he casually chatted with several people. We were a party of 6, so too hard not to notice. The same server noticed we were still waiting and went to speak with him again. At this point, it must have upset him because he made it a point to not even look our way as he did nothing but stand near the host station. I spoke to the manager and let him know our situation. He offered to serve our table himself. We declined and decided to take our business elsewhere. I've been to this cafe many times previous and have always had great service. This year has been different. Been up there three times and have been denied due to not having a reservation (which was never needed before) or, in this case, not being served. read more

Since I will be in S.F. attending my brother's wedding for Father's Day this year, my wife got me and my dad tickets to the Hit It Here Cafe for this past Saturday. First off this place is a P.I.T.A. to get to if you don't drive. We entered the Left Field Entrance, as we walked from Downtown, and we had to slither through the crowd and then walk up a couple spirals in the ramp near the Right Field Entrance to find the place. Whatever, it's all part of the fun. Yet, if I had to do that for multiple games that would get very old very fast. The restaurant was nice looking. We got the counter seats, not the tables, and it was easy to tell the tables' views were not the great whereas the counter views were excellent. The menu was a little meager and the food was good, but not great. That may be just because I was wimpy and got a burger. It was nice to have food and a table during the game. I always get tired of having to either get there early get all the food for the game or getting up during an inning to get food. I also hate having to balance the food tray on my legs hoping the M's don't do anything good that would warrant me standing and cheering :-/ As has been said, the service was a little spotty, but we were in no hurry and we weren't leaving. Overall it was a very fun experience and I would definitely comeback. Oh yeah, the $18 voucher included in the ticket is great. My dad and I each had a meal and shared an appetizer and ended up paying only $13 which included the $7 tip and $3.50 in tax. read more

So I will start off by saying I really wanted to love this place. The atmosphere seemed so great. However, four innings later and still there was no food I have to say for price and performance it's the worst experience at a ball park establishment I have ever had. Once the food did arrive it was pretty Luke warm to cold chowder and we never received the Nachos we orders. Since it was then top of the 8th, we ended up not eating at the ballpark all together. Here's to next time, keeping it traditional and walking up to a stand vs attempting restaurant at a ball park. read more

My parents brought me to a Mariners game for my birthday one year and they got us seats at the Hit It Here Cafe. We had a fantastic time! The food was the delicious and the seats were pretty awesome! Sweet view. I had a burger, fries, and some fruity drink that I can't remember exactly what it was. Delicious though! I guess my parents had told them that we were celebrating my birthday and our server made it extra special for us. It was a great time. It's too bad we don't live in Washington anymore because this is something we probably would have loved to have done more often. For special occasions anyway. I'd highly recommend it, especially if it's your first time attending a Mariner's game, it'd be a great experience. read more

We sat here on Sunday for the Rays vs Mariners game. The views weren't bad, except you could not see the outfield below you. So whenever balls were hit to the outfield I found myself having to look at the live TV to see if it was caught (with the time delay) which was super annoying. I'd sit in the bleachers again before Hit it Here Cafe due to the view blockage for parts of the field. Aside from that, it does block the sun and stays very cool up there. It was filled with many older fans, which made it somewhat boring, quiet and chill perhaps. Pros to sitting here: Having someone serve you food and drinks so you don't have to get up or miss any of the game. This is always a nice perk! The nachos were HUGE! They could literally feed 4 people. I liked the cocktails and they had a decent selection of beers in bottle but few on draft. There are more exciting draft selections around the park. I had no complaints with our service, as I had seen in other reviews, and found our particular server very attentive. Overall, not a bad place to sit if you are looking for something chill and quiet. Just be warned about the views. We were on the 2nd row and could not see the outfield below us which did get frustrating. read more
