We dropped in on a day that I happened to be very hungry. Their happy hour is THE place to go if you are hungry or hungry AND thirsty. The Happy Hour $5 menu has wonderful choices, from a heaping bowl of fried pickle chips with deeeelicious dipping sauce, 2 amazingly crispy tacos with 2 sauces, one of which was smoky and absolutely delicious!! I also got a Caesar salad. Yes, I was THAT hungry! We ordered a jam burger and short rib stroganoff. The burger was cooked perfectly to order and was dee-licious! I substituted sweet potato fries and they were "homemade style small wedges" and cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that the sweet potato wedges were a substituted upgraded item and I only had about five fries, but I had to pay the upgrade charge. The short rib stroganoff was so fantastic that my mouth is watering at the memory of it. The short ribs were cooked to perfection. The noodles were also cooked to perfection with creamy delicious mushroom stroganoff sauce. Oh my goodness! I want to go back now. Lol! Service was amazing. Gary was very knowledgeable about the menu and was such a warm kind person. We almost felt like we were dining with family! Michael was very attentive and helpful and ensured our food was properly and quickly served. This unassuming little gem immediately became one of our favorite restaurants. We can't recommend it enough. The restaurant didn't look like much from the outside. But once inside, it is a cozy, warm, upscale restaurant. They also have a large back room with a large TV. They offer a full service bar. We highly recommend this place!!

bloody mary
Kelsi B.

Little under the radar brunch spot right across from swedish medical center. The design was cute and mid century mod and I loved the vibe inside. Server was incredibly nice. I got a bloody mary, which was the right amount of spice and absolutely delicious. Food wise we got the blueberry pancakes w/ bacon, the chicken & waffles, bacon brie toast w/ an egg, and the denver omelette. everyone loved their food I think except for me with the denver. the ham was thin sliced kind of like deli meat and the bell peppers/onions were huge, the ratio of egg to fillings was 70% egg and 30% filling it felt like. I also think it's strange the omelette doesn't come with toast so had to order a side of it for $4 which I don't love.

Fish and Chips

Went here for my birthday and it was great! Really good drinks and tasty fries! Service was also good the location threw me off but once inside it was so cute and well decorated. They also validate parking!

Fish and Chips

Penn Street Kitchen is in an office building across from the Swedish Medical Center and serves contemporary American food. We had large group of 10 people, which they accommodated easily without any crowding of our party or other tables. The front desk was very efficient with getting us seated, including directing others to our table they arrived. The initial table service was quick and efficient, however after the orders were taken, the service lagged considerably. Follow-up visits by our server were lacking and numerous times had to literally flag down our server for any drink refills, to-go boxes and our checks. As far as food is concerned, all the lunch meals looked fresh and delicious as they were being served. However, the Fish and Chips I ordered turned out to disappointing, due to the fish seem to have been steamed at some point and had a mushy texture rather than the firmness of a nice filet of fish. The chips served were very good, with nice crisp outside, which also was the case for the light tempura-like batter on the outside of the fish. I must admit the Reuben sandwich that another ordered looked amazing. Overall, the location of Penn Street is convenient and with the accessibility of the parking garage (Penn Street validates the 1st 2-hours of parking), is a very nice place to meet for lunch. Even with the service and my lunch meal, I would return, as all restaurants have off days of service or food, and many of the other dishes ordered looked great. Tips for your visit: If you have a large party, they use Open Table for reservations and accommodate us with separate checks. If you like people watching, ask for table by the window.

First time here for a good friends goodbye breakfast. The place got filled with people in no time. No surprise there. Food was good. Service excellent and very accommodating.

Biscuits and gravy main dish
Rachel S.

I had a lovely brunch here with my former coworkers. I loved the ambience, the service, and the food. I ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon. The gravy was flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. I also ordered coffee and a minosa, both of which were solid. The hash brown potatoes were crazy good too, as was the cinnamon roll pancake.

He liked his chicken just fine, but anything fried is always best eaten at the restaurant for crisp factor. My brisket French dip was so delicious, I want to order another one today, just thinking about it! The Parmesan fries sound better than they are. They were good, but didn't have any bursting flavor. Regardless, I just love fries, so they were fine, but not anything special. I will definitely be back to this spot. It was hard to decide what I wanted from their menu because it all sounded so good. Some unique options on there. Definitely give it a try!

I don't often choose Chop Shop over other restaurants in the area due to the high cost while being…read morea quick service atmosphere, but today it was the easiest option. I've had it before and enjoyed it, but the last couple times the food has been cold despite being ready within 7 minutes. Today, I was at Chop Shop the minute my order was ready, as I got a notification on my phone. I got the chicken with polenta and my husband had the chicken tenders. We got freezer burnt chicken that was wet and soggy, breading falling off, and impossible to chew like cardboard. Not to mention the polenta and Mac and cheese were cold. I understand not every experience can be perfect, however to pay a tip, restaurant service fee (that apparently doesn't go to staff because it's a separate charge), and have to pay for utensils at a quick serve restaurant just to receive small portions, cold food, and past quality ingredients is not acceptable. I would sooner go to a fast food restaurant.

First time back in a while! Don't know why it's taken so long for me to come back but one thing I…read moreremembered was how GOOD the chicken and waffles were. The waffle is made with cheddar and cornbread and the chicken is so well seasoned! A little more batter than I personally like but it's still my go to order when we stop in. The staff is always so nice and hospitable when we come in, making sure to always check on us if we need anything and how our food is. I love the metal atmosphere and the music isn't too loud that you have to shout across the table the perfect volume for background music. If you haven't gone to The Brutal Poodle yet, what are you doing!

We stopped into the Brutal Poodle to grab a drink and maybe dessert. What an experience! First,…read morethey know their cocktails and can make just about anything you can imagine. Staff were great - attentive and friendly. And the metal music - you can't get this vibe anywhere. The music def takes center stage and you'll know immediately if Brutal Poodle is your scene. Either way, I loved finding a dive bar, with amazing food and being spotless. Score. For us, the food had us. We did opt for desserts and WHOA, were they amazing. This was such a surprise and a happy one at that. The gooey goodness of their bread pudding and their crazy take on oreo eggrolls (yes, please!) had both of us immediately planning on our next trip for their main courses. Noted, Brutal Poodle. We see you. We will be back.
