We ordered the half portions and it was perfect. The salsa on the Huevos Rancheros was delicious-- smoky, spicy, and had the perfect kick to balance the flavors of everything else going on the plate. The California Eggs Benedict came with grilled onions, which I absolutely loved. (You don't see onions typically in that dish.) Hash browns were meh. My favorite however was the avocado crema that came with the Breakfast Quesadillas. Creamy and flavorful-- they made the quesadillas sing. Quesadillas were scrumptious-- chock full of scrambled eggs, veggies, and green onions, this one is going to be on our repeat menu . We loved it so much that the person who served gave a complimentary cup to go as we were packing the leftovers. On that note I must say that the service was warm and attentive. We came on a weekday for brunch and were amazed to see how full it was. There was quite a bit of wait for lunch hour so this tells me how popular this place is. No wonder there are so many good Yelp reviews. This may just be our new family favorite.

The decor is that of any generic greasy spoon diner, permanent stools at the bar, classic wooden back booths and typical diner tables. The service was so warm and friendly even though they were slammed and there was a 30 minute wait for a party of 2 on a Thursday morning at 10 AM. The veggie omelette tasted fresh and was not greasy. I chose pancakes for a side and it came with 3 giant pancakes! Eggs benny was cooked to perfection, the hollandaise sauce was so yummy and the fruit was also fresh and delicious. Coffee was standard diner coffee. Hot chocolate came with a mountain of whipped cream and sprinkle of mini m&ms. Highly recommend!

Our waitress (Rose) was outstanding-she was kind, helpful, engaging and she made my grandma's day with her service. The food was delicious!!

I still give this restaurant 5 stars because the food and service matter way more!

Both my husband and I noticed that everything had a metallic "off" taste... kind of what we imagine a problem with the grill might cause. They probably haven't properly seasoned the grill, is my guess. They also don't seem to know how to make hollandaise sauce, either, which was watery and the butter had separated out from the sauce. I wound up with diarrhea later. The dishes were ready VERY QUICKLY... too quickly... which suggested that the food may not have been made fresh which could be what allowed the food to cause illness. I'm not sure how this place is getting 5 stars from other reviewers.

This place definitely feels authentic and the gentlemen behind the counter (perhaps the owner?) was friendly and welcoming. The coffees and chicken schwarma crepe were fantastic and exceeded my expectations. The Nutella crepe was fine - pretty standard nutella with banana and strawberries. The only thing to keep in mind here is that the service is a bit slow so drop by when you have some time to wait for your food or maybe call ahead if they take phone orders. Personally, I don't really consider this a deal breaker or reason for a lower rating, but it is mentionable in such a fast paced area.

Star & cheese sandwich was too much zatar, way too much. Turkish coffee, after the initial shock is good. Ask for more hot water as you finish it. Turkish coffee is almost $10 so it's a treat. Baklava looked real good too. Very nice lady working there. Check it out in the lovely Issaquah

My friends and I came for brunch here one weekend. We came 30 minutes before our reservation, but they were happy to accommodate us. They seated us right away. Okay, let's talk food. I got the California Benedict and my friends got the crab cakes Benedict. We also ordered some mimosas because who eats brunch without mimosas. My Benny was made perfectly-- the hollandaise was very flavorful. My friends said their crab cakes were excellent. The smashed potatoes were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, but a little on the saltier side. Service was good-- our waitress was sweet. My only complaint is that the wait time for food was long-- took about 30 minutes. Almost felt like they had forgotten our order. Be prepared to hunt for a parking spot. Because this place is in the old town area, there are just small public parking lots here and there and street/side parking only. On a nice sunny weekend I imagine it's going to be tough finding a spot so come few minutes in advance.

JaK's Grill in Issaquah has become our go‑to spot whenever we want a reliably great steak dinner…read more The service is always excellent - the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely taken care of every time. The steaks are consistently cooked to perfection, exactly the temperature we ask for, with great flavor and quality in every bite. You can tell they really know what they're doing when it comes to steak, and that consistency keeps us coming back. When we want a place we can count on for a delicious meal and warm, professional service, JaK's is at the top of our list. Five stars, every time.

The place was packed and we ended up having to wait by the door for fifteen minutes before being seated. I wish there was more space by the entryway because it made the wait so awkward. Our server, Kaylee, was super friendly once we got seated and patiently answered all our questions. She brought over every bottle of alcohol my mom and dad asked about and even let her smell them. The menu was so huge it was difficult to decide on what to order. My family settled on sharing the hot chicken wings in buffalo sauce appetizer and the triple pig pizza. Both tasted exactly like we expected and were flavourful and delicious. For dessert I asked about the chef's special which ended up being apple pie à la mode! I was super excited to order it and it was the best apple pie I've ever had in my entire life. Even my mom who doesn't normally like pie was totally obsessed with how yummy it was. We loved our first taste of this local restaurant and we can't wait to come back again to try more of their humongous menu.

Nice neighborhood breakfast spot near Renton/Issaquah - traditional American style breakfast food…read moreand vibes Food: I had the chicken fried steak which also came with hash browns, 2 eggs, and a choice of toast/english muffin/biscuit. Everything was cooked well and I personally didn't think the chicken steak was super heavy. Service/Ambiance: Staff here is very friendly but move at the fast pace you would expect for a traditional breakfast/diner style. The restaurant also has some fun decorations. Everything you would needs for your meal (salt/pepper/hot sauce/half & half for coffee) is readily available at each table which was nice. Note: We've been here a few times now, and it does get packed on the weekends so prepare for a bit of a wait!

My husband and I were looking for a brunch spot in the area and came across this place. We hadn't…read moretried it before, but some friends had mentioned they'd been wanting to check it out too, so we decided to give it a go. I'll be honest--the service felt a bit odd when we first walked in. We were told we could wait a while to get seated at the dinning area or that we could seat ourselves at the bar. Since it was our first time, I wasn't sure if that meant the actual bar counter or tables in the bar area. When I asked for clarification, there was a bit of an awkward pause before someone finally explained we could sit at a table in the bar section. That said, once we got settled, the experience improved. The server who took care of us was very kind and attentive. I ordered my usual go-to at breakfast spots: chicken fried steak with a biscuit. It was really good--definitely hearty and comforting without being overly greasy. That said, it is a heavy meal (fried food plus gravy), so be prepared for a post-brunch nap. The biscuit looked a little underwhelming at first, but it actually tasted great. The overall vibe of the place is very much a local dive bar feel, and the service style matches that. As long as you go in with the right expectations, it makes for an enjoyable, laid-back brunch. Also worth noting--there's a decent amount of parking in the back, which is always a plus. Overall, a solid spot for a casual, no-frills brunch.

I ordered an iced Classic Boba Tea and thought it was really good! I'm excited to come back and order some other items on their menu.

They've also rebranded the store with a Genshin Impact theme. To start, I'll say that the bubble waffles and boba are consistently great. Maybe it's just me, but when I purchase something from a business, the vibe from the staff can make a big difference in how enjoyable the experience is, and unfortunately, the staff here seem to lack that inviting energy. On top of that, the café itself is quite dirty. There are streaks on the windows, the corners along the walls are dirty, and the bathroom keeps getting more disgusting. After sharing all this, I can't help but wonder about the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the food and drinks. I really hope they can work on this. The photos I've shared reflect the charm as you initially walk in.

We had the grilled octopus (yum and reminiscent of the ones we had in Portugal), beets and burrata salad (also yummy with a great combo of salty and sweet of the bacon and beets) to start. I had the prawns and sausage pasta and my hubby ordered from the special menu: duck cassoulet. Both entrees also winners. Waiting for dessert. Hopefully I will remember to take a photo! Edit: I did remember to take a picture of our dessert: seasonal butter cake with strawberry ice cream. Normally comes with vanilla but our server, Tori, didn't steer me wrong in my entree selection so we took her advice. 2 for 2! The cake was seriously good - Not too sweet, nice crust and oh so buttery! Solid Cocktails: Brown sugar old fashion and from the special menu, Chocolate old fashion (pictured)

Each of us ordered a slice of crepe cake, which felt like a perfect way to end the night. Out of the seven slices, my husband's slice was still frozen in the middle. I walked up to the counter where two young guys were working and politely asked if we could get a different slice, since everyone else was already seated and eating. Instead of acknowledging me, they immediately started speaking Chinese to each other without even a simple "one moment" or any indication they were discussing the issue, so I eventually just walked back to our table. About five minutes later, after they had apparently consulted with a woman in the back, one of the guys finally came over and told us they would not exchange the slice because my husband had already tried it. We were all just sitting there, honestly dumbfounded. A basic level of customer service would have been to apologize and swap one slice of cake, especially when you have a whole group there to celebrate. You didn't just refuse to replace a frozen slice of cake--you lost seven customers over the way you handled it. We will not be coming back.
