waited for approx 15 mins for a seat upstairs. Ordered the dungeness crab cocktail, salmon ceasar salad and crab cake sandwich. Very disappointed. tastes bland doesn't stand out. Overrated in my opinion. My salad dressing was a bit watery and the salad was warm!!! Food came out pretty quickly but the quality wasn't the best. read more

I came here on my travels through seattle this winter and was glad I stumbled upon this neat little joint as I walked through the farmers market. I immediately liked the concept of having lunch over a beautiful view and it definitely caught my attention. My hubby and I wanted to try something new and this was the perfect place to do it. We weren't in the mood for fish, but we still enjoyed what we ordered. My hub started with a german beer and had the beef brisket sandwich dip which was very delicious, but a little too greasy. I had a hot roasted turkey dish with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes and it was super tasty and definitely hit the spot. We highly enjoyed our meal and the speedy + friendly service. I was also impressed that the prices were fair for what we ordered, for some reason I thought it would was going to be more expensive. Our total bill for 2 beers, 2 entrees came to about $46 with tax and tip included. If I'm ever in this area I'm definitely checking this joint out again. read more

I lived in Seattle for several years and wanted to try the restaurant out for some friends visiting from out of state. The waiter was rude and refused to seat me near the window because of a "waiting list" even though there were empty clean tables with a view. When another customer came and had the same request, the "waiting list" appeared to be non-existent. The food was ok, but not memorable. Very pricey too. Will bring my friends to Anthony's or Ivar's instead! read more

This place is a Pike Place icon of sorts and was glad my wife and I got to have a late lunch here with some friends. You can order your own food and eat on the 1st or 3rd floor or walk up to the 2nd floor and have your more traditional waiter service. Not being super hungry, we ordered the fish and chips and a bowl of clam chowder. We got a good sized portion of fish and chips, 3 big pieces of fish and a big plate of fries. The fish was decent, but a little dried out. Maybe a bad batch? Fries were good, nice and crispy and I love the seasoning on them! Clam chowder was so-so. A little watery for our tastes but not horrible either. All in all, a decent meal. Nothing spectacular, but decent. Views of the Sound are great, a nice place if you're looking for a sit down meal at Pike Place with a great view! read more

Lowell's is a popular tourist attraction in the Pike Market area. The food was really good; however, it was a bit over priced. The host wasn't very friendly but our server was. **The Bloody Mary's are amazing! I had a spicy one that was out of this world! read more

As others have said, the views of the Sound are awesome, this and the friendliness of the staff is the reason for the 4 starts, if it were just the food it'd be 3. There were 8 of us that ate there on Friday night and the trouble with the counter service is that the food came out at all different times. I was the last and buy the time I got my food, the first guy was done with his dinner already. I had blackened salmon, hoping it would be awesome being I was right on the water in the northwest and it wasn't. It was a little on the dry side and just nothing special. Others in the group liked why they got, so it might have been. My dish that wasn't so great. The place is right inside the market so definitely priced for a tourist destination, but did I tell you about the view of the sound? read more

Friendly people at the order counter (recommended), and the top floor offers a spectacular view. Large portions and great food, especially breakfasts. read more

So I was in Seattle visibly a family member and told my cousin that I needed to have clam chowder because it's my favorite and I heard Seattle has amazing clam chowder. Well what do you know? I was right! We went to pikes place as most tourists do and saw the fish market and the Starbucks. Then came across Lowell's. I ordered the 16oz bowl of clam chowder and it was amazing!!!!! The density was perfect and a generous yet even amount of potato and clam. We also made a pit stop at the bar and I had a "market mule" aka a Moscow mule, and it was perfect and surprisingly not that expensive. It had a beautiful view of the pier. When you go in to order, you have the option to sit on the second floor for a full service restaurant (but small) or you can order on the first floor with the cashier and go sit on either the 1st or 3rd floor. If you go to Seattle make sure you go here. You will not regret it!!!! read more

What a shame. One of the best views in all of Seattle, in an iconic location with absolutely horrific food. Clam chowder was absolutely flavorless. Gummy and gelatinous with a very unpleasant sweet aftertaste. The fish and chips were an abomination. Not a grain of seasoning in the batter, the fish was slimy and chewy all at the same time. The shrimp cocktail was the only edible thing because it was just shrimp. Even the drinks were terrible. Who serves a cucumber gin cocktail in a giant water tumbler with 12 ounces of mix? Just absolutely awful in every way and like I said, such a shame. The view is spectacular. read more

It's inside Pike Place Market and has an amazing view of the waterfront. It's also 3 floors: first floor is for to-go orders I believe and the 2 upper floors are for dining in. We sat on the 2nd floor and got a table right by the window- awesome! We got their bread bowl clam chowder which is SO GOOD.. probably one of the best chowders I've had. Usually I just order the soup and not the bread bowl but my bf insisted and I'm glad he did. The bread was so flaky and soft, not the rock hard kind that's difficult to break off. I wish there was more chowder inside! We also got the crab cakes, which were pretty expensive $21, but they were very delicious. Crunchy on the outside, moist and soft inside, drizzled with yummy orange sauce and comes with a tasty refreshing mango-tomato-spinach salad on the side. We also got a few drinks and shots of tequila, which were generous pours! read more

I was with a group of people who've never been to Seattle before and are very much inland. We smelled this place on our walk on Pike Place and were immediately drawn in. The staff was so friendly and the food (especially clam chowder and Crab/Salmon sandwiches) were spectacular, and all of this was enjoyed with the view of the water. A little pricey but nothing dangerous. This is indubitably the place to go especially if you're not from around here. read more

The server was super nice and the food was excellent. We had the grilled seafood platter. I would recommend this to everyone. Enjoy read more

Breakfast in Lowell's was lovely, I literally got out bed & literally rushed there, to ensure I don't miss their crab cake bennes. After missing it a couple of times (I ended there just when they ran out of their bennes) I was determined this time, woke early & ran. Quickly ordered a Crab cake eggs Benedict & their signature Bloody Mary. As expected the bennes were super awesome, and the secret was their hollandaise sauce, with herbs & made all the difference & complimented the already delicious crab cakes, beautifully. They also had more crab cake vs poached egg ratio than their neighbours, which makes the price so worthy. Not sure if I will lose sleep again over their bennes, but it's definitely worth losing to this wonderful Seattle Breakfast. read more

Pro: View of the Pugent Sound. Free postcards. Calamari. I am not usually a fan...but these were not too chewy and I enjoyed the sauce. Cons: Quite a horserace. Over- priced, even if the food was fabulous...it wasn't. The restraunt is on three floors...no elevator seemed to be available. The lowest point by a nose, was the service. The customer is tasked with placing their order at the cash regester, gathering their cutlery and their self served drinks (free refills- if you want the work out) and hiking up 2 flights of stairs for the marketed view. A big show was made of us waiting because we would be the first seating for lunch. Yet...my hand heaven...the French fries looked and tasted overcooked and reheated. At $20.00 a plate...should not only taste freash and cooked right, but hand cut steak fries. My sandwich was servicable. My friend kind of shrugged at her cod. We both could not get over, "no service + old fries = $90.00 lunch." We decided it was a funny vacation story. Conclusion: Do not sit down for a meal in the Public Market. Grab some takeout from the various vendors and have picnic on the boardwalk. Take the savings and treat yourself to the best deal in the universe from gorgeous flowers from one of the flower stalls. Leave Lowells to some other suckers. read more

This place has a fabulous view on the 2nd floor. Highly recommend coming early as they don't take reservations, but about 8 am you'll have no problem getting a table with a view. I had the dungenness crab omelette with egg whites and loved it! Will be back. read more

Amazing view of the Sound and the Wheel!!! Good Bloody Mary selections! I wouldn't recommend the Salmon one because it was too fishy tasting but the rest were pretty great! I would def go back for the drinks with good company! read more

I had the crab cake sandwich, and it was delicious! 10/10 for the service, view, and food!

We did an early morning 2nd floor stop before the start of the Cheese Festival. Great view, quiet even when full, and very good beverage service. Hubby had the classic Benedict - awesome hollandaise sauce, perfect soft eggs, tasty english muffin. I had the crab scramble special (hold the spinach) - awesome hash-browns, very tangy thick slices of sourdough toast lightly buttered, but only a tablespoon or so of crab and a strange after thought of hard shredded Parmesan cheese (think the king that comes out of the tub from the grocery store deli department and never melts right). The crab was VERY fresh, well shredded, no cartilage... but $15.95? I would deduct 2 stars, but the service was so good and the awesome hollandaise sauce was REALLY awesome hollandaise sauce! read more

I've had breakfast and lunch here and both were great! It's in the heart of Pike Place so it gets pretty busy- be patient. They serve fresh fish from the market. Breakfast is classic breakfast but their crab eggs Benedict is to die for!! read more

My friend and I went to Lowells for a nice, leisurely Saturday brunch. We were definitely not disappointed! The view was spectacular (we lucked out and experienced a warm, sunny clear day) and the food definitely set us up for the rest of the afternoon. This also seems like a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee with friends while taking a break from the Pike Place madness. The food is standard brunchy stuff, but definitely go - for the view. Make sure you sneak all the way up to the 3rd floor so you get an unobstructed view of the water. Don't worry, the wait staff WILL come find your number even if you're all the way at the top. read more

Was at Pike Place Market and ate breakfast at Lowell's. Stood in line and picked the corn beef hash with potatoes. I passed on the eggs as just do not like them. Hash was very flavorful and plentiful. Sourdough toast topped it off. I walked up to the third floor and snagged a great seat looking down at the water and dood shortly arrived. I may go back tomorrow and try the pancakes! read more

I want to give this place a five stars, but COVID is not allowing me to. The COVID restrictions restricted the amount of food they served. Everyone raves about Lowell's so we knew we had to try it. The beer was great and they had several different options. The food was the main problem. They have a vast menu on Yelp, but as soon as you get there, there's only a handful of items. I'm not sure if that's changed yet, but I would wait till that's open to go back. I did love their clam chowder. I was ready to try some good clam chowder in Seattle, and this satisfied those needs. Excited to go back when it's opened up fully! read more

With Pike Place offering a vast selection of shops and eateries there's no way you can miss out spotting Lowell's. Reason be? Heh...there's a long line of people just waiting outside! Now for the typical tourist you'd stand in line like the rest of the sheeps. But IF you walk around the line you'll notice that there's a sign that says 2nd Floor for Bar seating, have to be 21 and over, and 3rd Floor for general dining. These people must not know the EngRish..Hah walked up the flight of stairs saved ourselves some grief and were promptly seated!! http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/Lp-AXkGeRFW3_Y70uqUFrw/l The menu is simple. You have your basic omelets, scrambled eggs, corn-hash, and skilliets. What gets your attention is the Dungenus CRAB Omelet, Dungenus CRAB Srambled Eggs, and Dungenus CRAB Eggs Benedict!! I demanded the Crab Omelet and the miss's got the Crab Eggs Benedict. While waiting for the food we were luckily enough to be seated next to the window. I enjoyed my O.J and just looked out at the pacific and enjoyed the unusually sunny weather. A couple minutes passed and two O.J's later our dishes arrived! The Crab Omelet was full of juicy bits and pieces of Crab.. Nom nom Nom Nom Nom!! http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/bQsKQpxBUcQ03MQ9UCHi9w/l The Crab Eggs Benedict had an awesome hollandaise sauce!! http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/hPUTlAW-_C4og-bdUM5qzw/l One of the best breakfast I've had in a long long time!

Seattle's favorite Egg's Benedict (get them with the crab), and for sure Seattle's best view, this place is not to miss. For an easeful breakfast, just order at the counter on the market level, then saunter up to the 3rd floor for non-stop views of waterfront and ferry action. It is such the Seattle breakfast/brunch/lunch spot that I can't believe I just discovered it! read more

The breakfasts are wonderful. We have been here for 5 days in a row trying something different every day. The staff is amazing. Everyone is so helpful from the door to the table. If you have time eat on the second level where you can get table service, you can wait at the bar while Max finds you a window table . Everyone that works here helps make your visit to Seattle extra special. read more

Walked in for lunch on a Thursday at about 1 pm & got a great seat on the second floor next to the window. Awesome views. Crab cake appetizer was delicious & so was our main course, the fish & chips. Drinks were great, too -- we had the pineapple mojito & serrano bloody mary. Server was also great. All around, loved this place & would come back if we visit Seattle again. read more

Stopped in early for a quick bite while strolling through Pile Place Market. We had the Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict which was freaking amazing! The set up of the place is a little confusing though- second floor is only floor with server? And then the side with the view is 21+. The salmon bloody is something worth trying- super interesting. If you want a great view this is the spot for sure! read more

Located inside Pike's Place Market, this is definitely a tourist trap. The prices are a little bit high for breakfast BUT the taste of the food overcomes the price (at least in my book). I ordered the Dungeness Crab Omelet and I was in heaven. They didn't skimp out on the meat either. The entire omelet was filled with crab. They didn't try to filled it with a lot of cheese or diced tomatoes. Their omelets also come with toast, hash browns, and a slice of orange. The meal in itself was so big I didn't have to even eat lunch. Just an early dinner =) On a side note...order downstairs and then head upstairs to the 3rd floor to find a table. You can enjoy a great view while eating good food. read more

I was here mid-week, mid-afternoon so I imagine it was slower than the typical lunch/dinner time experience. Location - It's situated right in the heart of the Pike's Place Market. So if you're looking to walk around, see the sites, take some photos this is probably a good spot to take a load off and grab a bite. Food - I had the fish and chips and a local hefe. The fish was okay. It didn't blow me away. I thought there was too much breading. The chips (fries) were just okay as well. They came with red seasoned salt which I liked. Service - The service was fine. It was 3pm mid-week so not terribly crowded as I suspect a typical weekend would be. The waitress promptly seated me, took my order, and came by asking how everything was. Atmosphere - This is a no frills seafood eatery located in the touristy area of Seattle. There are 3 floors. I sat on the second. I had a seat by the window overlooking the water. This was the main reason I came in. Overall - 3 stars. Decent, not spectacular. read more

I spent a couple of hours at Pike's market and finally decided to sit down for a meal. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail as well as the fish and chips. AH-MAZING. I really enjoyed the fish and chips- out of this world. The seasoning on the shrimp cocktail was a nice treat, too. I wanted to try the clam chowder but it was particularly hot on the day that I went here. Many seat selections, several floors, but not a lot of servers around if you want something. read more

Oh the salmon. Nothing like it. Guessing the sauce has wasabi, lime, cream, basil, per my resident taste expert, but the fish itself is so wonderful, the perfect "healthy fat" for the modern eater. read more

This place, like most places out here has amazing clam chowder. It's food is good. It's not the greatest in the whole world but it is good. The view is amazing both on the seaside and also on the market side. read more

Pros: 1) Great view of the water. 2) Lots of Seating. Cons: 1) Prices- For the quality of food you get it is VERY overpriced, this is probably because it is were all the tourists go as it is located in Pike Place Market. 2) There is no table service. I spent about $40 total for breakfast ( an eggs benedict) , you can get a better quality breakfast for alot less money in Seattle. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Lots of people today from the locals to the tourist. Not sure what I wanted to eat however, ended up here. Had a salmon potatoes croquette and 16 oz chowder , fountain drink. ($29.00) My co-worker salmon was better and I'm not going lie. I believe that there were other options that could have been a better choice but today wasn't it. read more

Been to Seattle a few times for work. I've always loved downtown but never had the chance to visit like a tourist.

We just finished a very good brunch on the 3rd floor by the window overlooking the pier - fully satisfied. read more

Run of the mill, not great menu. Mushy fried calamari, greasy fish n chips, ok clam chowder. Way too expensive for what you get. Lots of other places to eat at and around the Market. Skip this one. read more
