Tater tots

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!

Great atmosphere for an old grunge vibe. Last known place where Kurt Cobain was seen. Drinks were tasty, food was good, service was great.

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.

Grilled cheese and tots

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!

Burgs

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.

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the grunge atmosphere, cozy patio seating, and bar games and music. Service is often friendly, and people enjoy the food and drinks.

Ask the Community - Linda's Tavern

Are pets allowed?

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.…

Located in…read morethe Central District, the food beautifully reflects the culture and creativity of the neighborhood. I was so excited to see Lao sausage on the menu, I knew we had to get that. The clams and mussels with Lao sausage were hands down my favorite dish - so savory, unique, and packed with flavor. I know it would be something my mom would have loved to try! The collard greens with neck bone meat were another standout. Every bite was unforgettable. The wait here is no joke, so I highly recommend making a reservation. I think we waited an hour and half to get seats for two, but worth it! We were fortunate enough to be seated after closing, and despite the long wait, the staff remained incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Their hospitality made the experience even more special. So shoutout to the staff! The only dish that didn't wow me was the trout - it was a little mild and could've used a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors. But honestly, everything else was some of the best food I've had in a long time! And I am a real foodie. If you appreciate cultural fusion, Communion is an absolute must visit in Seattle!

Unfortunately, tonight's experience was extremely disappointing, specifically because of the service we received from Darlene. We tried the shrimp yakisoba in addition to our wings and mozzarella sticks and unfortunately did not like the flavor of the yakisoba. The frustrating part is that Darlene only asked us one time if everything was okay--and she didn't even come to our table. She asked while checking the thermostat, and at that point we had only eaten our wings and some mozzarella sticks. We had not even tried the yakisoba yet. We waited approximately 15 minutes for her to come back and check on us, but she never did. I eventually went to the counter to get a box. Since she never came back to our table, we also went to the counter to pay, which is different from our previous visits where we were checked out at the table. We explained to Darlene that we didn't enjoy the yakisoba because of the flavor. Instead of simply acknowledging the feedback, she responded rudely that we needed to tell her when she checked on us so it could have been fixed. That was frustrating because she never checked on us after we actually tried the food. How were we supposed to tell her we didn't like something when we hadn't even tried it yet? Then, when I went to tap my phone to pay, Darlene said, "But you're not paying for it, so it doesn't matter." I told her she was being rude, and rather than de-escalating the situation, she began arguing with me and made it seem like we were somehow at fault for not saying anything during the first time she asked. We asked to speak with a manager, and Darlene told us that she was the manager. We weren't upset simply because we didn't like a dish. We understand that not every menu item is going to be everyone's taste. What we expected was basic customer service and an opportunity to actually communicate our concerns. Instead, we were blamed for not reporting an issue that we literally hadn't discovered yet, followed by a rude response when we attempted to explain it. The wings are still excellent, and we've had good experiences here before, which is why tonight was particularly disappointing. Unfortunately, Darlene's handling of the situation left a much worse impression than the food itself.

We recently placed an order from their party platters, and it was absolutely amazing. The chicken stayed crunchy the entire time, and everyone asked where it came from. It was an absolute hit. While we don't often have leftovers, I think they're good straight out of the fridge, and reheats well in the oven. The staff have been nothing short of incredible. When they don't have the answers, they go out of their way to find it for you, and they make sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend for small and large gatherings!

Excellent experience. I can't believe I waited over 2 years to try this place…read more Surprisingly extensive menu. Super friendly service. Easy parking on a Saturday, midday. Some of the best wings in Seattle. I had a snack size (5pc) of the original (naked) wings. Juicy and perfectly fried. I think the best way to judge any wing is how good they are without any sauce. I'll try some more flavors later. Good banh mi. The bread was excellent. However, the "grilled pork" option was puzzling. Tasted good, but was more like a char siu than a traditional lemongrass grilled pork. There wasn't any char-grilled flavor. It was still good though. Nice crisp crust of the bread without being too sturdy, if you know what I mean. Lots of other stuff on the menu I want to try. I didn't go for any of their house-made drinks. But I'll at least try a lemonade next time. Very pleasant and ample seating. A few outdoor picnic style tables and some nice tables inside with big windows. It's a nice space. My only gripe is the usual one. Seattle prices. The wings plus banh mi and a soda came to $30.50 with tax and tip. (I did have leftovers for later, so I did get a meal and a half out of it). The tipping options START at 20% on their point-of-sale (POS) tablet. There's probably a custom option, but I didn't bother since I normally tip 20% anyway. But it's a little pushy to start your tipping options at what is usually the upper limit for most people. This place is solid. I'm sure it's a godsend for tenants in the nearby apartments. And being centrally located, it's really not hard to get to. Next time your going to or from the eastside via I-90 bridge...go a few extra blocks north and get your grub on here.
