    Chicago Italian Beef and Taylor Street Italian
    Sherry T.

    Food: we split the Chicago Italian Beef with provolone cheese and the Taylor Street Italian. The Italian beef was superb--wouldn't change a thing. The Taylor Street was mediocre--the cold cuts were whatever and it needed some sort of zing. For sides, the green salad with bleu cheese dressing was outstanding, thanks to the house-made dressing, but the chips and salsa were lackluster due to the stale chips. The salsa was good. Service was top notch--attentive, friendly, and timely. Ambience: I like old buildings, so this was right up my alley. The restaurant was clean and had an upbeat vibe. The seating was hard on the butt and back.

    We were referred to Smarty Pants by a family member and are so glad we decided to give it a try! I originally planned on ordering the Club Pants sandwich, but I asked our server what the most popular sandwich was and also what her personal favorite was. She recommended the Pit Boss, and I'm so glad I took her suggestion, it was absolutely delicious and definitely worth it! The flavors were amazing, and the sandwich was packed with quality ingredients. My partner ordered the Philly sandwich, and it was just as delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding, our server was so friendly and attentive, even though we chose to sit outside in the 95-degree heat. We really appreciated her great attitude and helpful recommendations, which made our first visit even better. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Road Runner Salad with iceberg
    Wennie H.

    Picked up the road runner on iceberg instead of mixed green, one of the best salads I've had in a long time. Tons of chicken (more chicken than salad), fresh vegetables (slacking on the tomato haha) and super delicious dressing. This is my new go to!

    Service was awesome and the food was amazing. We had the Chicago Italian beef, troublemaker, scamp and the chef salad. All sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The troublemaker was insane with great flavors!!!! My Italian beef was so good w a perfect amount of spice. Can't wait to come back! Cheers

    Food is good and made to order. No pretentious food intentions here. You hungry they got you. Decent collection of spirits. Meg our server was perfect. She's no amateur. Interior is industrial with motor memorabilia with a couple TV. Patio. It has a couple cool shops on the block. 4*'s because of parking. Other than that *****

    First time here and we were not disappointed! Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered Breakfast Tacos and Chilaquiles Verdes. Everything was delicious and was served pretty quick! We also ordered a Bloody Mary and an Orange Crate. Both were good too. We will be back next time in the area!

    After a multi year absence, I met a friend here tonight for happy hour and - as far as the Georgetown dive bar scene goes - Smarty Pants didn't disappoint. It's still got that under-the-freeway vibe, strong drinks, a great taplist, and tasty eats. The service is more than friendly, and it's an excellent place to people watch as various local characters stroll the sidewalk outside. Overhead, 80s hair bands rock the speakers. Because, after all, you gotta fight for your right to parrrrrtayyyyy! Thanks, Smarty Pants, for still being you.

    This is my favorite place to stop for brunch when back home visiting Seattle. I love their troublemaker sauce! Every time we go in the servers are extremely pleasant and offer friendly banter on football game day! They have a indoor seating area and also an outdoor seating area.

    No frills bar with food. Good selection of beers and drinks are good. Dive-y joint with a little outdoor patio that is dog-friendly. They were a little understaffed when we were there but still super nice.

    Taylor Street Italian
    Jessica S.

    A great sandwich has great bread and Smarty Pants has great bread!! Look at all of the toppings that are included on the Taylor Street Italian! Bite after bite did not disappoint. The homemade potato salad is a must!! It has the right amount of flavor that it makes you want more! Service was quick and friendly! The patio outside extends the amount of people they can serve, as well as accommodate larger parties, if needed! Definitely recommend Smarty Pants!!

    Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich
    Tara H.

    Came here over the weekend and was able to get seated right away. On the weekends, they serve brunch, but we opted for lunch when we were there. They have an extensive menu with salads, sandwiches, and other various food choices. I ordered the french dip and it was the best french dip sandwich I've ever had. The au jus was very flavorful and the bread had a good crunch to it. My husband ordered the Chicago Italian beef sandwich, which was also very good. I would highly recommend coming here and definitely plan to come back.

My son enjoyed looking at the Porsche right in the front, the souvenir shop, and taking a tour ($15 for each adult, kids under 5 is free) of all the cars.

A YPN event hosted there felt like the perfect excuse to come back. Unfortunately, this visit left me disappointed. We came over from Pioneer Square (Firn) for the event, and from the moment we arrived the space felt overcrowded with very little organization or direction for traffic flow. We eventually sat at the bar for about 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. When we finally spoke with a bartender, we were told they were out of espresso, despite having just watched what appeared to be a batch go into the refrigerator. Fair enough if it wasn't available to serve, but instead of taking our order or suggesting another drink, the interaction essentially ended there and the bartender moved on. That was ultimately the biggest disappointment for me. Being busy is understandable, especially during an event. What matters is how the experience is handled, and a simple "we can't make that, but let me recommend something else" would have gone a long way. The cars are undeniably cool and the concept has plenty of potential, but the hospitality and event organization didn't match the setting on this visit.

It's hard to find something everyone agrees on but this place had a little of everything. we got there and they were in that weird in between time from end of lunch/happy hour, so the kitchen was closed. It was about a 30ish min wait but we were determined. It was a fabulously sunny day, people sitting outside so we decided to hang out and have a drink while we waited for the kitchen to open. So glad we stuck around because this place is AMAZING. The corn fritters our wonderful server recommended them and I could kiss him. They were so good. The oak salad was light and fresh, perfect for the day. Burger and fries were super hot and yummy. Lastly, the server was so great with our 2 girls. (Wish I would have gotten his name) He let them sit outside at their own little table and they chatted with the other patrons. (There was a couple with their dog sitting outside).

The burger was juicy and delicious. The salads were excellent. One of the best salads I have had, unique. The marinaded chicken was grilled perfectly. The pickled vegetables were an excellent acid complement for the salad with sesame dressing. Definitely a local favorite. Enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the restaurant.

The casual restaurant-in-the-front-but-open-backyard-in-the-back concept worked very well for me. Just the way it opens up to a whole new different area was nice, although I've seen other places do it much more poorly. Food was great too. We had a single patty burger and some fried chicken. Despite being a single patty option, as opposed to the double patty option, it still was a hefty volume of food and the flavor was well done. I got the pickles on the side and that was great as well. I haven't had much experience with "Guamanian" food, but I'm delighted by it now. The fried chicken was also very well done. Not too greasy and not too dry. Just walking that fine line. I loved it. Mac salad could be slightly softer but that's a bit pick in my view. The service was great as well. Most of the food for our group of 10 ish all came out together, so nobody had to awkwardly eat food alone while the rest of the group stare with jealousy. And the waiting staff was generous about not being able to make food decisions quickly. I thank them for their patience. All in all, surprising little restaurant in the neighborhood that I usually don't go often. Strongly recommend if you are trying to vibe with a group of friends with some unique cuisine like Guamanian food!
