First time having food at Dreamland Bar & Diner. Been here for the Halloween themed drinks before…read morebut never had their food. Had a group or 8 and we were able to make a reservation on a Friday night. The restaurant charges 25% auto gratuity for big parties. The restaurant wasn't super busy, had plenty of tables available for walk-ins for a 730 dinner reservation. I ordered a Shirley temple and a small loaded nachos with chorizo. The small portion was a perfect amount for one person. I shared my meal with others and still had enough to munch on. The chorizo was a good choice for the loaded nachos. The Shirley temple definitely tastes like they make their own syrup. The boneless chicken and waffles came out hot and fresh. It's a great balance between sweet and savory.

Smattering variety of beer (1-2 offerings per "kind" of beer, non-alc included), so I'd say this place is more for vibes and location, rather beer-focused. That being said, the vibes were good! Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.

Both are dog friendly and our waiter even brought my dog a water bowl! Our servers were attentive and friendly. Food and drink were prepared and served quickly. Thank you Luke and Jeff for the wonderful service! I would recommend the brisket sandwich with a fries upgrade. The brisket is tender and juicy and pairs well with the slaw. The ciabatta bun is the best vehicle for all the deliciousness of the sandwich. But the stand out for me was the fries! Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection, dipped in the aioli...YUM! To drink, I had the non-alcoholic spicy blueberry mocktail. It's spicy from the Fevertree ginger beer and slightly sweet from the blueberry. The fresh mint was a fragrant and delightful garnish. It comes in the coolest copper mug! If you're in the Ballard/Fremont area looking for outside seating, cocktails/mocktails, and tasty food, make sure to check out The Barrel Thief!

We were the only ones in there for a while and so had a chance to talk with Geoff, who made great recommendations for food and was very pleasant and friendly. Everything we tried was delicious. My friend initially ordered a drink that wasn't on happy hour as she had forgotten to ask about it, and at the end, Jeff had changed the price to a happy hour price since he didn't let her know about that in advance. Very class move and going the extra mile in a way that makes a huge difference and leaves along lasting impression on the customer! Happy hour food menu is small, but that seems to be for a reason, because what they do they do well!

The best happy hour in Fremont! This is my husband's and my go-to spot for fried chicken and…read moresports. Their daily 3-5 happy hour makes it particularly fun to watch college football on Saturdays or NFL on Sundays. They have a dark and cozy interior with a lovely shaded patio on hot days. We typically order the same thing each happy hour - I love the fried chicken sliders (Nashville hot) and my husband gets the fried chicken basket. We always pair that with a vieux carre. Total tab is under $35 not including tax and tip. A complete steal in Seattle these days! Service is usually quick and thoughtfully-spaced with enough time to make a dent in the drinks before the food arrives. It's the perfect spot to meet up with friends, host parents, and watch sports of any kind (the mariners game is always on).

4.5 stars but unfortunately need to round down because of some clear service inconsistencies…read more Hopefully I can add that 5th star in my next visit because I will be back! I went on a Friday for happy hour, which runs daily from 3-5pm. It is generally very challenging to make this timeframe but I had some time today to stop by right before 5pm. The happy hour deals are great - it is no surprise the restaurant is fairly busy, but at least there are plenty of seats and you seat yourself wherever you want. I got the 3pc chicken tenders and fries ($10) and a vieux carre ($7). I also got the 2pc buckeyes for dessert ($2) because it was only $2 - why not end on a solid dessert at minimal extra cost. The chicken tenders are nicely battered, flavorful, and so juicy. But I got Nashville hot and it was barely any spicy if at all! The fries were also pretty good, just a tad bit too salty but good to wash with a drink or water. The vieux carre was good - decent quality, a bit tiny, but that is how they can keep the costs so low. The buckeyes is basically cold chocolate and peanut butter but very satisfying way to end the meal and is quite sweet and pairs well with the cocktail. Service is generally good as the server was friendly and got me waters, menu, drink, and bill quickly, and made sure I was taken care of. However, there were times where the server asked me questions ensuring I got what I needed (plus points on that) but also the party next to me got asked what dipping sauces for the 3pc chicken tenders and fries and the server did not ask me that. I would have loved something not ketchup because I don't like ketchup so I ended up eating the dish without any dipping sauce, but at least the chicken tenders and fries were delicious enough that I still enjoyed it without any dipping sauce. I am aware dipping sauces are $0.75 extra but would've been a nice gesture to be offered the choice should I decide to get some to enhance the meal. To an extent, you get what you pay for, and the prices are so good especially in this economy that I must go back to try the other happy hour items when the timing works out!

There's street parking and the restaurant is clean, spacious, and it's got charm. Service was quick and staff were very helpful! We ordered brisket and since we came on a weekend day we also got the beef rib and beef cheeks. Sides were elote style corn and lemon poppy slaw. Meat was cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and fell off the bone. Easy to just pull apart and melt in your mouth. I will say the beef cheeks and beef rib are very rich and fatty but they were delicious! The corn was okay but I really liked the lemon poppy slaw! It was refreshing, flavorful, and a perfect side to the meat.
