    Ranchero Omelet
    Gretchen M.

    We used to live in Lynnwood years ago, and this was always our go-to breakfast spot. Coming back after four years felt nostalgic, and thankfully not much has changed, in a good way. They still serve excellent breakfast options with the same unbeatable service we remembered. Ordered the Ranchero Omelet, pancakes, crispy fried chicken and their crispy thin waffle topped with berries. Everything was delicious, it was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while.

    Avocado and sausage Eggs Benedict with fruit

    Haven't been here in a few years. Said wait was 45 minutes but only waited 20. Had an avocado & sausage Eggs Benedict with fruit. So very good and filling. Probably one of the best I've had. Place was very crowded, but not too noisy. Scored a booth. Nice and friendly wait people, especially the young tall black man who was extremely polite!

    Loved the friendly vibes here! The staff was friendly and efficient. I appreciated the consistency across the different locations. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs as usual! Definitely will come back again Parking was easy as there was a parking lot!

    It's so warm and welcoming here. They're so good about seating you very promptly. The food is great. Especially the fluffy pancakes. My husband loved the 1/2 order of Meat Lover's egg white omelette. There was still enough to take home. You can expect a great atmosphere and dedicated service. Plenty of parking.

    1/2 order of Corn beef Hash (cooked in house), one egg over easy && biscuit & gravey
    Kelly D.

    While on business in Seattle I was looking for a bomb breakfast place and found this place. Located amongst a busy shopping center, was this little gem. The Saw Mill Cafe, had a great bustling welcoming environment, which we were immediately welcomed at the door by multiple employees. The food was a plus to the environment of the restaurant. I ordered half an order of their house made corn beef hash with one over easy egg and got a biscuit with gravy. The corn beef was good good && there was so much meat inside of the hash. I ordered the biscuit with gravy for my husband to eat but I also tried it. The gravy was thick and seasoned well that paired well with their thick but fluffy biscuit. The husband ordered their 6oz steak rare with two easy eggs. The steak was very tender and well seasoned. 10/10 would suggest for a good reasonably priced breakfast place.

    Corned Beef Hash & Biscuit
    Melissa C.

    If you dine at Saw Mill Cafe, and I strongly suggest you do, and you have Bridgette take care of you, you will have a fantastic experience! My FDD, who shall be known as My Favorite Traveling Companion for the time being, and I were looking for a place to have breakfast where we could sit and have great food before starting our day. A Yelp search, (thank you Yelpers!) brought us here. We are both avid coffee drinkers, and Bridgette made sure that our cups were never empty. Always a great start when that happens! Even more impressive to me was that they served packets of freezer jam made with real sugar instead of sickly sweet jelly made with high fructose corn syrup. My FTC ordered the corned beef hash with a side of biscuit & gravy. The corned beef was tender and flavorful; the portion size, extra hearty. The biscuit was so big that he only ate half. The gravy was smooth except for the chunks of sausage, and extremely tasty. I got the Soprano omelet, and was very happy that I did. The chicken sausage was great, better than most that I've eaten, and there was lots of cheese holding everything together. If we are ever back this way, I'm sure we will be returning.

    Almond crunch French toast

    We came here on a weekend. They were pretty busy and there was a long wait. We ordered almond crunch French toast and ranchero omelet. They were both very good!

    Cinnamon roll French toast
    Jasmin P.

    Chefs kiss! If this restaurant wasn't 30+ min from home for me, my family and I would eat here every weekend. The staff is so kind and friendly! There is usually a very long wait during the weekends but it's only because they're so good! I have visited this restaurant quite a few times but the picture below is of one of their specials - cinnamon roll French toast - so it's not on the menu unfortunately but it was so so so so good.

    Pancake

    We come here about once a month, sometimes with a reservation and sometimes as a walk-in. Even when we walk in, the wait is usually quicker than expected. The customer service is always attentive--they make sure our coffee is refilled and check in to see if we need anything. The food is consistently fresh and never disappoints. Always a reliable spot.

    Strawberry crepes (half order)
    Barry C.

    Rock solid breakfast. what more can you saw. I love they have the ability to jump on the waitlist via online and they text you updates and you can text them updates as well. plenty of parking at the Mill Creek Town Center and upon entering our table was ready and we were cheerfully greeted by the friendly staff. Onto the food. 1) Egg breakfast. We ordered the half order, but they made us the full order. eggs, crispy bacon, hash brown and bread. Standard fare. only wish the hash browns comes out crispier. 2) Veggie hash. hash brown mixed with a really good variety of veggies topped with poached eggs and an avocado cream. add some hot sauce and you are golden. the only area of improvement for this would be crispier potatoes. Not sure who likes soggy hash browns, but a few more minutes on the griddle would have been perfect. And I got TWO good sized biscuits and they were good. 3) Strawberry crepes (half order). Pretty standard crepes. Kids loved it. 4) Kids egg breakfast. can't miss on this with the crispy bacon and scrambled eggs. give me a slice of cheese and I would make a sandwich out of it! Saw Mill Cafe is a family favorite and if you are in the surrounding Mill Creek area, check this place out for breakfast or lunch. You will not be disappointed.

    Avocado Toast
    Vikram M.

    Visited the Saw Mill Cafe for lunch over a weekend. Place is very crowded and we were seated in few mins. Make reservations if you can. We ordered the Avocado Toast, Soprano Omelette and kids sandwich. The portion sizes and food were good. Overall a good experience.

Food was pretty good - just selected a few of their appetizers; my favorite was the fried dumplings!

    Haven't been here since they first opened a way long time ago in 2011, 2012 maybe. The Twisted…read moreLimed didn't make a good first impression back then both in service and most definitely the menu. But here we are, 2025 and with time to kill decided to give this neighborhood watering hole another go. First off, since we were there during the day it wasn't too busy which was kinda nice. Because it's kind of a small pub it would be horribly crowded, even with their outside seating on a busy Friday or Saturday night. Lotsa T.V. with sports and nice island-style tunes with a noise level where you can have a conversation w/o having to repeat yourself or yell. Service was good, mostly due to the time of day, light crowd, so we were able to sit where we wanted, given menus, ordered drinks. Our server was personable, made regular check ins and food time from order to service was perfect. Now what motivated me to write this review was mainly because of the food. Because honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. With the Island /Hawai'i thing being their theme, some of their menu that reflected that. So I decided I'd give some of my island favorites a try, of course with some lowered expectations. I mean I've eaten at some local island/Hawaiian places here in Western Washington run by islanders that were subpar and some cases bad. The meals I gauge would the loco moco and spam musubi. So at the Twisted Lime, that's what ordered. Wifey had a big ol' plate of their Nacho Mama. Her take, loved it. Perfect as not so much stuff on it to make the chips all soggy, go good amount of toppings, nice crisp chips and the guacamole, super tasty. My meal, I was pleasantly surprised. The musubi was excellent. That being a good SPAM to rice ratio, nice strip of nori and good flava. In case you wonder, most good musubi should have a piece of SPAM at least 1/2 thick, and rice 3x that. Place that cheap out give a sliver of SPAM and a butt-ton of rice. Examples of poorly made musubi: the ones they make at Town and Country Market in Mill Creek and Marination at T-Mobile. If you like 'em from those places, good on you. But if you ever had a well made, well proportioned one, you'll never go back. Examples of local perfect musubi: Sushi Spott so far has my number one spot, but Hawaiian Sun in Everett, and as of this review, Twisted Lime has damn good musubi. Now for their Loco Moco. First off, damn fine presentation, second off, "ONO GRINDZ". I wouldn't say broke da mout, but pretty damn close. Good proportions of rice, good amount of gravy with good flava, two beef patties, also with good flava and a nice egg over-easy. My only comments are, 1. For their loco moco price ($18), only one egg? I know that most loco mocos I've made or ordered, standard (especially in Hawai'i), two eggs brah! 2. If you wanna do the whole Aloha theme, Hawaiian mac is a standard/complementary side of any Hawaiian meal. Not something to be added to the price. Any plate lunch includes Hawaiian mac. Seriously, Google Search images. Kinda like burgers, fries should always be included, so bravo to the places that do that and shame on the ones that charge over $10.00 for a burger and don't include fries. 3. For a neighborhood bar, I'm surprised it isn't family friendly for a time. Example, the Savage Moose in Kenmore, sports bar, FF until 2100 hours. 4. No smoking or vaping in the outdoors seating? It's.....outdoors. It's not like you're out there for the view unless you enjoy the view of other businesses and a neighborhood street. But whatever. Bottom line, the food tasted good and didn't disappoint. Good solid service (can't speak to when it gets crazy busy). Star lost on the above comments, but otherwise I would definitely go there again. If anything I'm now curious of how their Kalua Pork is, comparatively speaking to what I know is good Kalua Pork.

The picked peppers were shortcut with Mama Lil's (one can recognize them), and while good, they just were not what I would expect in an Italian Beef Dip. Should be some roasted pepper and some house-picked peppers. I've had too many great Chicago Italian Beef Dip sandwiches over the years. Those (when done well) are a 10.

Honestly, they both tasted kind of the same despite the different preparation of the meat. Both dishes were not the worst but not the best. The meat could've used a little more salt but the tzatziki sauce was delicious! Chicken Melt This was probably the best savory entree! The sandwich had the perfect crunch that was followed with the creaminess of the cheese and the flavor from the grilled onion and chicken. Pancakes These pancakes here are comparable to the ones I've had at Rusty Pelican and Sawmill Café- super yummy! As for our entrees, it comes with a side of either fries, salad, soup, or fruit. My mother and I got the soup which was beef and vegetables and my sister got a salad. The soup was nice and hearty with a generous amount of meat and veggies and the salad was... well a salad haha. If I were to come back, I would probably just stick to the classic American dishes instead of the Greek dishes.
