    The facade.

    CUTE DINER INSIDE. That may be the best thing In a say about it. Although I will say it's time to get rid of the Christmas decorations. My wife and I were looking for a breakfast place . Because Kikey's was jammed. We were the only ones in there and now I understand why. It was freezing inside ,no heat. We both kept our coats on. My wife wrote a note on the bill that said not heating the place was insulting to the customers and I agree. The food was mediocre. The coffee tasted like instant. My hash browns and ham steak were lukewarm. Possibly microwaved. The service was acceptable but in view of the other shortcomings we will never return. I don't like trashing neighborhood businesses, but this place needs to make some major changes if they don't want to close their doors again. That's right. For a while this place was closed. So I'm afraid we start with 5 and deduct one for food, one for lack of heat and one for overall experience. Leaving only two. Sorry. My followers know I don't have very many 2 star reviews. But alas. This place begs for it. Excelsior.

    Felt like some food and ran into this place. It's kinda tucked away so you gotta look over to find it. Walk in and over to you left and it's inside a small building. We were greeted by a waitress and found a table. I ended up ordering a catfish with Mac n cheese and a side of red beans n rice. Catfish was good....Mac N Cheese was good...Red Beans N Rice was good. Even the Strawberry Lemonade was good. I was told the Strawberry Pancakes were good too. If you feel like some soul food swing on by.

    Great food is reasonably priced. Wonderful breakfast. Country Eggs Benedict was delicious. Bar to open soon.

    Ok, so had to revisit to make sure the food was foodin... let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The Southern Diner is the TRUTH... head on over there and get you some the food is delicious and there's lots of menu options. I'm a creature of habit so I ordered the same thing as my first visit and enjoyed it just the same Chkn/waffles..Mac&chs...fried okra w/special rice Our server was friendly and attentive, we were seated to a nice clean window table, our drinks (water) stayed full...our meal was served hot and fresh.. thanks George and crew for a great experience... we will be back Y'all should try Southern Kitchennext time you're in Burien

    Shrimp Po' Boy Lunch

    Food was amazing and the customer service was even be! I ordered the shrimp po boy and it did not disappoint. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, along with the sauce that had a little kick to it. I'm definitely coming back here.

    I've been there many times. Everything I've tried has been excellent, not very expensive, and large portions. The staff is very nice.

It's…read moregreat that this local indie has locations in the Central District, Georgetown, and even at SeaTac International Airport. I had stopped by the Burien site back in 2023, but was glad to finally stop in on 3/22/25. Easy peasy parking lot, some onsite seating to indulge in your ice cream and/or cookie treats. The pastry case is an awesome sight and well stocked! There's also an adjacent production area to the retail counter. Pleasant, welcoming counter person who nicely packaged my half dozen, two each of birthday, peanut butter chocolate, brown butter chocolate chip, and my long time accrued freebie, I selected lemon. Cookies are moist, reasonably sized & priced, and not overly sweet. The greater Seattle area is blessed with a variety of cookie indies like Lowrider Cookie Company.

Their cookies aren't too big, so you can opt to share or have a cookie all to yourself. My favorite was their cookies & cream or their holiday mint chocolate cookie. It's a great place to stop by for a quick treat that is decently priced. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and it's very nice inside. I love how the owner's dog is the inspiration for their logo!

    Treat is a super cute, very pink shop, but sadly, the cookies are unappealing and unappetizing…read more Bummer! I wanted to like this place because it's in a warm and welcoming part of Olde Burien, right across the street from Stevie's Famous Pizza. I got the Iris which was described as a vegan strawberry shortcake. I wanted to try their vegan cookie because I cannot digest milk protein well. The cookie barely tasted of strawberries which was very disappointing, but strangely tasted like there were nuts inside even though no nuts were mentioned in the description. It was way too sweet and not baked enough in the middle. I only ate one third of the cookie before I called it quits. My hubs got the Celeste which was an orange mango dark chocolate cookie. He also found it to be too sweet, not balanced between the three flavors, and not quite baked enough in the center. If you like to eat raw cookie dough or prefer your cookies just baked past the raw stage, you might like Treat, but for us, this place is a hard pass.

    It's been a while since I been back here and it still just as good. I'm surprised that the price is…read morestill very reasonable. Service was good. The people there was very helpful. The place is mostly take out but they have a few seatings. It's not super quiet but also not loud or feel rushed or chaotic or anything. I got a couple of cookies and it was pretty good. I was surprised how much I like the gluten free one but could barely taste the potato chips that was in it. The Celeste was probably my favorite. The strawberry shortcake was a little one note for me. The cinnamon roll was a little disappointing to be honest. I think they forgot to caramelize the sugar because everything was just soft. It was a little too wet and dense as well. Overall, still a good place for Cookie
