I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Last time I was here I only remember high prices. Came here today after a hike for lunch with friends. The cider was refreshing and delightful. A strawberry rhubarb flavored cider from schilling. The burger was perfectly cooked and had fresh condiments of lettuce, tomato slices, onions, pickles and thousand island dressing. The bun toasted nicely and a lovely slice of cheddar cheese. The burger had a nice charred flavor of being freshly cooked. The tots were so perfectly fried and crispy. I seriously hope the server I had was Miles P. Whose name is on the receipt. Because it was definitely the best service I've had in a long time. Friendly and amicable. He was attentive but not too much. When we asked for separate checks he did it no problem. Lastly, a man who I presume was the manager came out to the patio and asked if we wanted the shade down. Of course we did! It was a hot sunny day. The shade rolled down making the outside patio lovely. And it's dog friendly. Do it. Eat good food. And as usual, SYOY.

Ladies room is large. Diaper station across from toilet. Clean.

Stopped in for lunch on a sunny Seattle day. They have a good size outdoor dining area and people were taking advantage of it on this fine day. As the outside was full, we dined indoors in an area of booths to the left of the entrance. A larger area full of tables is off to the right, as are the restrooms. A bit of bar seating is available as are some high top tables nearby. We were greeted at the door by a person who appears to be the only FOH employee during our visit. He brought us to a booth, gave us menus, and took a drink order right away. There are quite a few beers on tap listed on boards over the bar. Suggestions were asked for and given. The menu is pub food. The interior is clean, however there is also a bit of storage going on in there. Not sure it they just had a delivery that needed to be moved or if this is usual. Our waiter was very pleasant and patient. The food was good quality and everyone was happy with their choices. The beers very much enjoyed. If you are a beer fan and are looking for a laid back, low key, bar/pub experience, this is a good option with food. A fair size parking area is out front. Restroom and dining room were clean.

TGIF, checking out their Happy hours after work. It was not crowded when we first got there but it did get crowded. Parking is not that big because parking is for all businesses. It is not big happy hours food options, we ordered sample platter with Cheese curds, onion rings and chicken fingers. The onion rings were crispy, not too much batter, and bite size. The 3 pieces of chicken figures were okay, not dry and the batter also were not thick. My coworkers said cheese curds were good. We both go little cheese burger. It was good size for me. The bun was moist and meat patty not over cooked. Service was good. She came checked on us. It is like bar setting with a lot of booths with TVs. You can watching the games from most seats.

We enjoyed sitting at the bar and having a burger and beer! Love their interesting burger combos and great seasoning on their tater tots! Highly recommend!

Solid restaurant with quick friendly service, great tap selection, and an affinity for sports. Caught the Ms game here on Saturday, food and crowd were great!

I recently visited Sunset Alehouse, and it's safe to say it's now one of my favorite spots in Issaquah DT! Known for their fantastic burgers and vibrant happy hour menu, this place truly lives up to its reputation. Their hamburger was delicious. The patty was juicy and perfectly seasoned, served in a toasted bun with all the fixings. We paired it with crispy fries, onion rings, tots & nachos from the happy hour menu- comfort food at its finest! Their happy hour menu is unbeatable, with mix of discounted drinks and small plates. I loved the craft beer options, creative cocktails and the local wine. The vibe was casual yet lively with multiple sports TV screens and staffs who made sure we were taken care of throughout. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or unwinding after work, this spot hits the mark. Also plenty of free parking spaces in the front. If you're in the mood for a burger and a fun happy hour, don't miss Sunset Alehouse. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. Bon appetite!

Fried chicken sandwich - amazing flavors with just the right amount of hot honey

Excellent fried chicken sandwich, tots, beer selection and Thai chicken sliders (which I turned into a salad since they took the lettuce wraps off the menu).

French Dip

We've probably driven by this place a hundred times and never gave it a second glance since it's tucked in a corner next to the Dollar Tree. It's not much to look at from the outside and the inside is definitely on the divier side of things. My husband and I popped in for lunch recently and were pleasantly surprised by the food! It wasn't super busy during lunch time and we just made ourselves comfortable in a booth. We had the buffalo wings, french dip and the reuben. The wings were some of the best we've had in recent memory. They were super crispy and the buffalo sauce had the right amount of heat/tang. My reuben was spectacular. Corned beef, sauerkraut and thousand island sandwiched between two pieces of crispy, buttery bread and complimented with a side of tots. Yum. My husband's french dip was also good, but I thought the roast beef was a little on the dry side and the au jus was a bit salty for my liking. Overall, a great causal place to drop in for a beer and some quality pub food.

Grinder
Jody O.

Love this place- nothing like it in Issaquah! A cute bar for adults with TVs for sports, large dining area for kids & a patio area outside. We wanted a great lunch with drinks & that's what we got! My husband & I love the grinder & chop salad to split- the grinder is amazing every time & the chop chop salad is so delicious too- plenty of food for two. Our friend was with us so he got the cerviche- so fresh & delicious with crispy corn dippers. My husband usually gets one of their beers on tap, I get a glass of wine & our friend gets vodka soda. Everything is reasonably priced, generous portions & excellent service- a must go to in Issaquah!

They…read morehave two separate deck areas -- one connected to the bar and another on the restaurant side. We chose the bar patio, which was cozy, fully covered, and set up with a handful of small high-top tables, making it a really comfortable spot to relax. The drink menu could use a little more detail, since none of the draft options were listed. When we asked about cider, our server checked and let us know they had a cherry pomegranate cider on tap. For beer, the options were simply described as an IPA and a lager, so we went with the lager. It was good, though we never found out which brewery it was from. We also ordered a mule, which was well made. For happy hour, we shared the half charcuterie board ($12), and it was beautifully presented with a great variety. We were impressed enough to stay for dinner afterward. We ordered the burger and the Greek salad with chicken after learning they were out of prawns. Our server also thoughtfully mentioned they were out of Kalamata olives in case that changed my order, which I appreciated. Both entrees were delicious. The burger stood out thanks to the homemade ketchup, which was especially good. The Greek salad was fresh and flavorful, though a bit light on portion size. Service throughout the evening was friendly and attentive, and by around 7 p.m. on a Friday, the restaurant had become quite busy. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with great patio ambiance, solid food, and warm service.

We ordered fish and chips and cauliflower appetizer Pros: Pleasant atmosphere Decent service Delicious coleslaw in fish and chips Cons: Appetizer portion wasn't just big. It was huge. More than enough as a meal. The whole dish was bland, under salted Bacon was a bit too crunchy. Fish and chips were no good. The fish itself was nice, juicy, but the batter too thick. Overall under seasoned, undersalted. The fries were just ok. People who cook need to occasionally try their own food.

This place is just ok. Someone had recommended them to me and raved about the food, but it missed…read morethe mark for me. I've dined in and ordered takeout and I think their menu is just way too big and varied to do anything right and well. When I ordered takeout, I ordered the sirloin steak. It was overcooked and tough, and the potatoes were lumpy and undercooked. My dine in experience was better and I ordered the chicken fried fillet (NOT a steak to be clear, it's made with chicken) and while the portion of meat was small, it was fried well. The gravy was a little sad but it wasn't the worst I've had. Each time I've been in, the place looks empty, which doesn't feel like a good sign for them. The service is fine, albeit a little slow at times, but maybe they struggle with staffing such a large (and empty) restaurant. The location is great and there's plenty of parking available, so hopefully they turn things around!

The menu had a nice variety so we ordered 2 orders of the smoked lox & bagel that were really good other than not enough cream cheese which they brought out more for us. We also shared the turkey melt that was really tasty with lots of turkey & the fries were crispy & delicious that came with it. The owner was so friendly & attentive & asked if we'd like complimentary home ice cream with mango that was amazing & so generous of him! All of the food & drink presentations were just beautiful. We'll be back to try more on the menu!

She really stood out--so helpful on menu options (she was very knowledgeable), attentive, proactive, and all around wonderful!! We had oysters, shrimp cocktail, wedge salad, sea bass and black cod.

Perfectly salted butter, and the taste reminded me of sourdough but the texture of the bread itself was like a very crispy crunchy outer layer over a martin's potato roll. - The Grand (3/5): I learned that I am definitely not a shellfish person.. so keep in mind of my biased take! I wish the waiter explained what came on our plate, but he quickly scooted away. The scallops were my favorite. Nice and mild and sweet flavor. The grand also came with 6 sauces to pair. Wasn't sure which sauce went best with which, but doesn't hurt to try? shell on shrimp and lobster claw were the second and third bests in my opinion. - Grilled Black-eyed Perch (4/5): got a smaller 1.2 lb fish. Can get it grilled and fried. Fried is ~$4 more. This fish was around 38-39/lb at the time of writing. Flavors were so great! Not a bony fish at all and didn't have to really pick at it. A tad dry in certain parts, but again, nice salty, zesty from the lemon and herbaceous. This place is definitely on the $$$ side, so can see ppl coming here for special occasions.
