    Came for 4th of July & had a great time! Drinks were great, we ordered the marg on tap. Food was also good. Would recommend sitting on the back patio for best vibes!

    This was my favorite bar of the night and will be one of my go to spot when coming to Seattle. The interior is nice and cozy. The vinyl records give it that cool vibe. We sat at the bar top and ordered some drinks and snacks. The cauliflower wings were well made and had some great flavors to it. It went well with the drinks. The staff working here were all super friendly and helpful, even when it was a full house.

    The food was pretty good. Proper greasy bar food but it comes out hot and made to order. The sauce options were also great - I'd like a jar of the jalapeño jam please. The service was good and the ambiance was fun - very much embracing the tavern and grunge. Great music selections and some fun arcade games. It's both bar and restaurant and the drinks are pretty cool. Would recommend and would come back for one of their events.

    Linda's Tavern located in the Capitol Hill area is the place to go for brunch on the weekends, they have mimosa pitchers and a pretty good menu. My friends that are local here say they come here on Sundays. They have both indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. There's a bar inside and outside. We came here Friday afternoon for a round of drinks and also ordered some nachos which were really good. We drunkenly took photos in the Photobooth and we couldn't see the screen to see if we fit or not. We came back Sunday afternoon in between brunch and dinner but we were still able to order a pitcher of mimosa and my friends all ordered their food. The happy meal looked good and the entire menu looked pretty good. You can also bring your dogs here. There's a smoking area in the back. Service was great and fun bar to be at!

    We visited Seattle and came here for breakfast. It did not disappoint. There wasn't a lot of people since it was pretty early. The staff and our waiter were really friendly and helpful. It's a cool looking bar inside, nothing fancy but the food was great and so was the staff. Took a pic at the booth where apparently Kurt Cobain sat on the days he was last seen. Cool spot!

    I love Linda's, I'm honestly surprised I haven't reviewed this place. Many fun nights of bar hopping and a few times I've blacked out and had no idea I came here haha. My last visit was a bit more wholesome, just wanted catch up with my friend over a couple drinks and some food. She snagged us seats out back and luckily it was a beautiful day. There was a few doggos out back with their owners, I love seeing dogs at bars, great little distraction. Anyways drinks were great, we both ordered a classic burger with mozzarella stick to share. Service was even better, loveeed our server. They were so friendly and personable! I'll be back, I always come back to this place haha. Oh parking is a shit show sometimes but I manage to get a spot out front so that was pretty neat. I definitely recommend Linda's a lot when people are in search of a casual bar.

    See all

    Yes they are if it's outside.

    Does Linda's Tavern allow minors in the building or is it strictly 21+?

    Joy, Thanks for the inquiry. Linda's is 21 and over. However, there is a small area in the dining room that allows minors for brunch service. Hope this is helpful.… Read more

The menu had changed up…read morea little since my last time but everything was still really good so no complaints there. It is a small spot (sorta) so you kind of get in where you fit in. We ended up at the bar and honestly it worked out perfectly. Our bartender was friendly, engaging and just made us feel right at home. Another staff member came through at some point and was equally as kind. The service all around was great. Now let me talk about the food because that cabbage had no business being that good. I know that sounds random but it was my favorite thing and I did not see that coming. The mac and cheese was delicious, the fried chicken was really good, and my husband was all about the rice and black eyed peas (surprisingly). I also ordered a non alcoholic drink and even though I cannot remember the name it was really good too. The only minor thing was that one of the items, I think it was the hush puppies or cornbread, came out a little lukewarm. They mentioned it can be hard to keep that particular item hot, and flavor wise it was YUM so it was not a dealbreaker. Everything else comes out fresh as it's cooked so just know timing can vary by dish. It did get crowded toward the end and they politely let us know people were waiting outside. They handled it with so much grace it did not feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back. Already curious about what will be on the menu next time.

    This was hands down my favorite meal of my weekend trip. I found this spot through TikTok, and it…read morecame highly recommended. We didn't have a reservation, but after about a 10-minute wait, we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The seating seems intentionally designed to bring people together, and you could see it in the mix of large groups, couples, and even solo diners. Like the name, it had a "communal" energy that made the space feel alive and intimate. The hostess, bartenders, and our waitress were all phenomenal. They were attentive and easy to talk to. Also, the playlist was good. It really added to the overall experience. We started with the sweet potato hoe cakes, and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the texture. They were soft, pillowy, and balanced. They weren't too sweet, even with the honey butter. I wish I'd ordered more to go because I haven't stopped thinking about them. I'll have to try recreating them at home. For my entree, I ordered the stuffed trout, and this is where things really took off. It's a whole fried trout stuffed with a seafood dressing (shrimp, catfish and oysters), and it immediately caught my eye on the menu. I'm not used to eating whole fish, and I don't think I'd even had trout before, but this dish was mouthwateringly good. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. The béarnaise sauce really set it off. There were so many layers of flavor and texture, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the presentation was stunning. I posted it on my Instagram story and immediately had people asking where my food was as from. This meal was very memorable. I have zero notes. The ambiance, food, music, and service were all top-tier. Side note: There is a 5% "communal" surcharge added to every bill. The money is used to support staff benefits, the support staff, and the line cooks. This is separate from the gratuity. This surcharge is clearly explained on the menu, and I really love and appreciate the transparency and that they care about the employees. But yeah. Super good. We love a good meal and we damn near left there skipping.

While this is their Capitol Hill location, it's a little further out from the main area of CapHill. Washrooms (restroom for search keywords). Friendly service, but nothing over the top as they simply took orders and brought it fresh. They brought pickled radish out with the chicken which is standard, but the radish was very fresh, meaning they were harder, sharper in flavor, and not as flavorful as a result of not being pickled long enough. Starter Set - we opted for mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and fries. Would love to see sweet potato fries here (another spot in CapHill proper does offer them) but love this combo for variety. Crinkle cut fries were tasty, nothing special. Mozzarella sticks were nice but lacked a cheese pull. Onion rings were the star of the trio, crispy, sweet, and totally delicious. Soy Garlic Chicken - half orders are about 10 pieces and full orders come with around 20, sometimes more. Chicken was juicy, tender, and sauce was just right. Great flavor! Similar to the Shoreline location, while the wings are a decent size, I feel that many Korean fried chicken spots have larger wings. Still tasty, but feels less competitive in the heart of Seattle.

It also only had 2 kinds of Vietnamese cold cut meats, which I didn't mind, but it needed more in there. There's a super thin layer of mayo and pate I think. Bread was very fresh! I give 3/5 Kimchi fried rice had good kimchi flavor. Portion size was large. 10 piece fried chicken (wings) was good. The skin was way fattier than I would've liked and it could've been fried longer to help melt some of the fat out and make it crunchier. It was super hot, fresh, and juicy though. Radish was free. It came with sauce but only on the side. Personally, I would want to try other korean fried chicken places to compare before coming back here again Waffle fries come with either ranch or ketchup. Large portion sizes! For all we ordered, it was around $55. Great price for the portions and variety imo. Service was outstanding as I mentioned. One older woman worker felt like she was my auntie. She refilled our water and checked in on us despite this being a place where you go up to order.
