It's ok. If you're looking for overpriced tourist food this is the spot. I've lived in WA my entire life and I don't know why their clam chowder is so highly reviewed...it is JUST OK. Side salad, calamari and cup of chowder $31. The salad was actually the best part. read more

Ordered Crab Benedict. I'd say it's good but not worth $27 for sure. Just not enough crab meat, mostly hash and toast not worth the hype. read more

Came in yesterday with 4 friends from NY. Food was really good and so was the staff especially the people at the register taking our order! I got the assorted fish sampler with fries and fresh vegetables. Was delicious and they gave us a lovely space in the third floor! read more

Came to try the clam chowder and it did not disappoint!! Went with sourdough bread, it was a little burnt on the edges but still hit the spot. We came by during the week so we were lucky enough to find a seat on the 3rd floor with a nice view without any wait. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our food came out very fast! read more

Lowell's Restaurant - Lowells Clam Chowder - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is right in the middle of the market IE TOURIST TRAP, but nevertheless I went here for you all, my intrepid yelp review readers (ok honestly I was just checking out the market because I've never been). Anyways do you remember the Seinfeld episode where George tries to see a physical therapist who has an absurd cancellation policy. You know, the "The delicate genius has a policy!" episode? That pretty much sums up the service at this place. My friend was ordering and I tried to go upstairs and grab a table and I was immediately stopped by the hostess and told they have a strict no table saving policy. WHAT? What the hell is a no table saving policy? Maybe on a busy weekend when there's a crowd to manage I can see the value in it, but there was NO ONE IN THE RESTAURANT. My friend orders and we get a number and go to the second floor to get a table by the bar. AH, but the second floor tables are for full service dining where I can order at the table, I need to go to the 3rd floor if I want to just sit at a random table if I already ordered on the first floor. THE DELICATE GENIUS HAS A POLICY. The tables on the 3rd floor weren't even clean, even though as I mentioned earlier, there was no one in the restaurant. It wasn't just us confused by this restaurant embodiment of a catch-22, the table sitting next to us on the 3rd floor sat there for a whole 15 min wondering why no waiter would take their order not realizing that to be seated on the 3rd floor you need to order at the counter first. As I mentioned before, THE DELICATE GENIUS HAS A POLICY. Anyways, the salmon sandwich was pretty good, but not sure if it's worth the hassle or the price (almost 20 bones for a sandwich are you out of your mind? Tourist trap!). If you're a tourist you're better served just exploring the city more and finding a restaurant that doesn't try to micromanage it's customers in the most infuriating way possible. It pains me to give a sandwich that was probably a 4 in quality on its own a 1 Star, but the service was somehow that exceptionally crappy. 1 Star Sriview, seriously, I mean what the f*** dude. read more

Breakfast is great. They are busy, but we were able to get a table next to the window overlooking the water. We enjoyed king crab omelets with really good potatoes. This is the place to go when at Pike Place Market and looking for a sit-down breakfast. read more

This was a lucky find. We were walking through Pike Place Market and, seeing this restaurant, decided to give it a try. There are 3 floors. If you want to have table service, you head to the 2nd floor. We were told you will usually wait in a standing line quite a while if you do this. Otherwise, you place your order and pay at the register on the 1st floor. You fill your drink cup and get utensils here. There are some tables on this floor and there is a larger space on the 3rd floor, which boasts some great views of Puget Sound and the mountain range. Your food is then delivered to your table. The sourdough bread bowl of clam chowder is AMAZING! The best clam chowder we found in the city. We visited once at the beginning of our trip and came back again, with the chowder in mind, toward the end of our stay. It's just that good. This venue wouldn't be the best for anyone that doesn't deal with congested areas or stairs well. For us, it was a great find and we'll make sure to return during future visits to Seattle. read more

Lowell's Restaurant - Sourdough Bread Bowl of Clam Chowder:  this is what had us coming back. - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The appeal of this place isn't so much the ambience. It's pretty standard inside with the design. What gives this place it's higher rating is the fact is that there is a view of the waterfront while you eat. This is a fantastic view. The food was good but nothing special. I had a bread bowl with chowder and had a bottle of Pike IPA. Meal was about $19 pre tip. read more

This place has stellar views, food is pretty good (nothing special), and staff is friendly albeit a bit rigid at times. It's one of my go-to place for breakfast. It's got a dive bar feel to it that just adds to its charms. Just go and enjoy, it's almost classy. read more

Outstanding crab Benedict and service was impeccable. Before our meal came host came over and said a window table had opened and moved us. Loved everything about our experience read more

Fish and chips had no flavor, tacos blend, calamari was too greasy, clam chowder was warm and bread not crunchy like San Francisco. The only thing really good were the fries. read more

I had the dungeoness Crab egg Benedict. I was happy that I can taste the flavor of the crab but the hollandaise sauce was not as tasty as I thought. I wish I had asked the sauce to be on the side as it kinda ruined the whole meal. The hash browns are seasoned well though. I would expect more as the place was quite busy. Our servers on the second floor were friendly and attentive but not the lady taking the order in the cashier. She almost like scream at you when she takes the order. I don't think I will come back to eat here. read more

Great stop for brunch! Went with some girls on a Sunday morning, which was a delight. All of the food was great, but the staff wasn't always the kindest. Make sure your entire party is with you or you may be shooed down the stairs despite having many open tables and no wait. Overall the food was really worth it and there was a beautiful view! read more

Food was good but expensive so not really worth what you get. The reason I'm giving a 3 is because the view is beautiful upstairs and the service was really great. Otherwise, nothing special. read more

Ordered the Dungeness crab melt. When I say I could have made a better sandwich using a $5 can of crab from Safeway....I'm not kidding. It was so underwhelming.....save $30 and go somewhere else. read more

I like Lowells the view is awesome from the bar area on the second floor and they serve a great Bloody Caesar! The woman with the reddish hair knows how to make them well!! The breakfast I had the lox I've also had the corned beef hash before it's also great!! It's packed often that's my only beef which isn't there fault from all the tourists but I usually go really early on Sunday to beat the crowd! I like his place i think it's more of 4 star. Don't get the 3 star but maybe it's the wait. It does suck but it's Seattle and Pikes so wait is pretty average compared to some others places. I'm local so I just know when to go. read more

Had such a great view of Seattle while we ate our last breakfast. I orders the crab and salmon egg Benedict and it was one of their popular plates but I myself wasn't a big fan. I didn't end up eating it all cus I didn't really like it I just ate a side of grilled veggies I asked for and the guy was snice enough to discount the food since I didn't like it which was really amazing since I did this ask for a refund or anything and he went above and beyond to make it up to me Definitely try them out while in Seattle if ur from outta town read more

The good news, everything else in the market is a must see, people are friendly and you will be happy if you like fresh seafood ,fruits, vegetables , souvenir...and fresh flowers. The bad news, Lowell's is the opposite, rude host, Dirty tables, bad food and bad coffee, over priced...it's ok if you miss it, there is plenty of other great spots in the area. But, I can only blême myself, for not reading the reviews before entering that tourist trap! read more

One of our favorite places to go for breakfast when we are visiting Pikes Market. You want to get here early as the place gets crowded quickly but they do an excellent job of turning tables without making you feel rushed. On the second level you can dine in either the bar overlooking Puget Sound if all if your party is over 21 or at tables overlooking the market stalls if you have minors in your party. If you don't want to wait for a table, you can order on the first level more cafeteria style, the head up to the third floor where they will bring your meal. There is stair climbing involved here so keep that in mind if mobility is an issue. I have had a number of different items to eat here and have never been disappointed. read more

FISH AND CHIPS. I am not a seafood lover, but after seeing the dish pass our table, we had to order it. Order your food downstairs and grab a beer, head upstairs to the third floor for a great view. Highly recommend the fish and chips, because they were so flavorful. To be honest I could not find this place originally using maps, it's hidden inside the market place, near the huge fish vendor. Enjoyed the meal so much came back the next day to order the same thing. Suggest splitting it with someone so you can visit other food places in the area as well, good appetizer. read more

One of a handful of places open for breakfast at 9am at Pike's Place. Chose to sit on the top floor, secluded with a good view but limited service. Tried the smoked salmon scamble which was delicious and serving was good enough for two! Don't hesitate to get the capers with it (optional but go for it!). Toddler got a smiley face pancake! Would recommend. read more

Favorite place to come when visiting Pike Place Market. The clam chowder is a must have, I will say my tuna sandwich was just ok. The view at the top is beautiful as you get a nice water view wherever you sit. read more

Ate downstairs so it was counter service. Had the garden omelette and ended up mixing it with my hashbrowns to make it taste better. Just a tourist spot with a pretty great view. Coffee was above average. I'd probably do it again for nostalgia. read more

Delicious food, large portions and great atmosphere. They let us in at the last minute even though they were about to close and we came with a large group. We really appreciated that, especially since we had a lot of kids. Highly recommended! read more

The stars are for the great view of the water. The cashier was snippy for some reason, not sure her deal. The sauce for the calamari was awful and hoping I dont get sick. The coleslaw was just as bad! The steamers were ok, but leave the pepper flakes out. First time here, thought we would try somewhere new. read more

I was recommended this place by my shuttle driver from my hotel. So one morning, I was in Pike Place Market and decided to swing by this place for some breakfast. I can around 9:30am on a Saturday and there was a decent line going. Since there is a limited seating and this place always gets tons of patrons, they politely ask that you don't save seats and only take them after purchasing your food order. I got the Market Breakfast that came with eggs, ham, hash browns and toast. The food was delicious and very filling. With a breakfast like that, you can walk all day around Seattle without feeling hungry. Everything was great except for that line which seems to not budge for the longest time. read more

Lowell's Restaurant - Market Breakfast - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great view of the sound. Perfect for breakfast and try to get there early. Lines will start to build later in the day.

Is it the best seafood Seattle has to offer? No. Is it touristy? Definitely. But that shouldn't stop you from coming here. Located in Pike Place, Lowell's consists of three levels, each with its own fantastic view. Sit on the market side, and you get to do some great people watching while looking out over some of the more popular vendors (like the one that sells chocolate pasta). Sit on the water side, and you'll get a beautiful view of Puget Sound, where the ferry boats take passengers back and forth between Seattle and the islands on the other side. It's cozy on the inside, and both times we have come here the service has been good. The staff is knowledgeable about all of the must see sights in the area, and can direct you to some lesser known spots as well. The food is still pretty good, and compared to most of the seafood offerings you may find in, say, Arizona, it's super fresh. The seafood stew is delicious, with clams, salmon, and shrimp in a tangy tomato based broth. The fish and chips is crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and is portioned generously. But my favorite was the Hangtown Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary mix is made from scratch and is perfectly seasoned, and they infuse their own vodka and pickle their veggies in house. The Hangtown is made wit bacon-infused vodka, a hefty dousing of fresh horseradish, pickled veggies, and finished with a plump, freshly shucked oyster. If you order nothing else from this place, order one of these. Lowell's stays open after Pike Place closes shop. Try to get her before sunset and ask for a window seat over Puget Sound, and enjoy the show. read more

Relaxed atmosphere and the best fish and chips I've had in a long time. You can't beat the view and I eat there every time I visit Seattle. They have a great staff. read more

I would highly recommend this spot (especially the 2nd or 3rd floors) for people watching and of course, the food! We came in for breakfast and wanted to sit down instead of ordering food first (on the 1st floor) so we headed up to the 2nd floor and found a pretty sweet spot overlooking the market (Pike Place Market). We ordered some omelets and they were delicious. The service was also on point. I was especially satisfied with my salmon omelet since obviously we wanted seafood because... Seattle, duh! Anyway, I'd definitely come back for more! read more

Probably the best time to enjoy the market and the establishments within is off season. Staying at a friends airbnb and needed coffee stat! Our friends gave us midwesterners a quick education in public transit and we ended up at Lowell's. When I say ended up, it was not a bad thing! Quite opposite! I have dairy restrictions and they worked with me on the Spinach and Tomato Florentine Benedict. Paired with a rosemary and fennel bloody, the perfect accompaniment! We sat at the bar and could see the boats and Ferris wheel. Wonderful breakfast and excellent service! read more

Lowell's Restaurant - This is what mornings are made for! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is pricey for a weekday lunch spot. My family is in town, so they met up with me on my lunch break today, Monday, for a quick lunch. Since there were 8 of us, we needed a place that could seat all of us. I had seen Lowell's on the back of a food magazine, Seattle Flavor, and thought to give it a try. We ordered: - fish and chips x 4 - cheddar burger - crab Louie salad Each order of fish and chips were $16, and I didn't think it was that great. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best fish and chips I had ever had. The Salad was $24! It wasn't very good either. Slightly disappointed by the food here. They had ample seating, and a great view though. read more

Nice hole in the wall with great food and views. The whole market is a great place to visit. Be careful on your way there because there is an open air drug market that the city encourages. They normally don't bother you but it makes you uneasy seeing people shooting heroin next to a police officer. It's a shame because it's a beautiful city with great food that I won't be visiting again. read more
