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.

Then went back for the second most popular as they had a few options which was nice. Sat outside and visited before leaving Seattle after the World Cup it was a pleasant break from the chaos for sure.

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.

But stout is the one kind of beer I actually don't mind. And they have a pretty good one. They also let you order food from next door which is nice. The crab dip was also really good.

Bartenders always friendly and noise level not too bad. They have a couple of tv's so we were able to catch the Mariners game.

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!

While I love my sours, I can't ever resist a slushie at Ridgewood, and the additional gummy toppers are such a nice small little detail that goes a long way! We ended up watching a couple of the World Cup games here and there were plenty of TVs to support a game day environment.

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).

Some friends and I stopped in Saturday afternoon. When we ordered our drinks I asked which Irish…read morewhiskey comes with "The Devil You Know" boilermaker. The bartender, Amber Davis (also co-owner), snapped back at me saying "it's Jameson like it says on the menu!". Making me and the entire table super uncomfortable. Feeling confused I checked the menu to see it making no distinction between which Irish whiskey you'd get with that order. After a while our drinks and apps arrived. This was the last service interaction our table was afforded until we had to request our check. Not a single chance to order additional drinks or meals. The icing on the cake was the sign behind the bar that reads "be excellent to each other"... if only they practiced what they preached!

Outsiders has a solid smoky, flavorful bbq for sure! I had the burnt ends which were pleasantly fatty, as they should be. The fries were crispy and not greasy. And the bread was golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce is probably more southern... which is fine. In KC it sweeter... but the important part is the meat. Do this! Go here! Try it! We will be back. Seating was great, spacious..indoor and outdoor seating. Clean and like dining in the back yard.

They happened to be having an event with live bands and were donating money from drink sales! There was a good crowd and all the live music was actually enjoyable! There's a food truck parked outside and we tried the carnitas, mole, and tinga tacos which were all very tasty. Unfortunately they ran out of a lot of options by the time we got there around 6:30pm. The bar is right through the front doors with a smaller room to the right, and bathrooms and the large hall on the left. The bartender was super nice and we liked our drinks! We agreed that this is a place we need to come back to more often, especially in the summer when it's warm and we can enjoy the outdoor area!

Wish I asked for a name but the guy working was so friendly. My only call out is they don't have much for food (the website was a bit misleading, we were under the impression they had their full menu) - only hot dogs and food trucks depending on timing. That being said, they have a carry in policy so had we known we could have brought our own!
