    Amazingly delicious food at reasonable prices. Breakfast served all day. I had the omelet and was more than I could finish. Walking distance from the Space Needle.

    The fries were pretty burnt

    The food and service were pretty good. The look of the place not so much. It's grungy/dirty. It's also so dark that you can barely see your food. The burger I had was great but the fries were a bit burnt

    First off, don't let the ratings get you. This is a dive bar, so don't expect anything less. However, we had a great breakfast with the most awesome bartender/server, Steve! Music was so good - 90s hip hop, best vibes. Food was really good too - we got the classic Benedict, custard French toast, gumbo, and cheese curds. The cheese curds are out of this world, especially with the honey - Even the aoli it comes with is so good. Highly recommend the pitcher of mimosas and $6 mystery shots.. it's never too early to drink when you're visiting! Spot gets busy, but for us it's worth the wait. It's a little tight inside, but I think it's cozy. Steve was amazing, not for the faint of heart for sure, but we know what we signed up for. He works weekend mornings if you're looking for him! Definitely stop on by if you're in town!

    Came here while visiting Seattle and absolutely loved the vibe and the food. Definitely my kind of place and will return when I visit again! Great service, good food, great vibes.

    Five Point Café - Downtown Seattle Not really sure where to start here, but unfortunately this was not a good experience. We were on our way to see the Space Needle and wanted something light to eat before continuing our walk through the city. We came across the Five Point Café, which is across the street from an Italian pizzeria, and decided to give it a try. The place definitely has a nostalgic, old-school feel--almost like stepping back into the 1970s, or maybe even earlier. The walls are covered with memorabilia, and while it initially felt like it could be quirky and fun, I didn't have a great feeling when we walked in. Still, we decided to give it a fair shot. I ordered a pastrami sandwich with a cup of tomato bisque soup. At first, the sandwich tasted okay, but very quickly the flavor turned unpleasant and I couldn't finish it. Ray ordered the beef stroganoff and only managed two bites--the meat was extremely tough and basically unchewable. He also ordered hash browns and ate some of those, but overall the food was just not good and honestly not very edible. As we sat there longer, we started noticing cleanliness issues. There was a fan above and to the right of us that was absolutely covered in thick dust and dirt--so much that it was really gross to look at and clearly hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. That alone made it hard to enjoy anything. We also noticed some odd signage. On the back wall near the restrooms, there was a sign asking people not to do cocaine in the bathroom. Then, when I later took photos to post with this review, I noticed the front of the menu says "Alcoholic serving alcoholics since 1929." I understand humor and edgy branding, but combined with the food quality and cleanliness, it just added to the overall uncomfortable feeling. When you're visiting a new city, you rely heavily on reviews to help guide your choices, and that's exactly why I write reviews myself--to help others know what they might be walking into. Unfortunately, this is not a place I would return to, and I would recommend passing it up. I genuinely feel bad for the staff and owners, and I hope they consider improving cleanliness and food quality, because this could potentially be a cool, nostalgic stop for tourists if it were better cared for.

    We visited Seattle in October and this was our first breakfast during the trip. What a way to start! I ordered the veggie omelet made with 3 eggs and accompanied by a side of hash browns, which had me set for the day. Everyone enjoyed their food. Service was great. The ambiance was very amusing with all of the kitschy signs everywhere we looked. I would've been thrilled to return here every day for breakfast because it was so good, but we were only here for a few days. Highly recommended!

    Bourbon grilled chicken sandwich
    Liz M.

    First time here, loved this place. Super affordable. The food was fresh and came out in speedy manner. I had bourbon grill chicken sandwich. It hit the spot, I was famished. The service was exceptional, we got waiter, comedian and city ambassador all in one. Thank you for the recommendations. There was a lot happening at the venue, good loud music and decor.

    Love it here! It's a must any time I'm in Seattle. Brought some friends for brunch last weekend, it was their first time and they loved it as well. Food is always good and service is awesome. Jukebox through an app on your phone so the music is as good as you make it. P.S. Didn't take a pic of the cheese curds cause they disappeared in .2 seconds. They're so good! Just make sure you show up hungry cause the portions are generous.

    I always enjoy eating their burgers & fries here! However, the fries weren't as good as last time. Their burgers continues to taste well. Meat is juicy and flavorful and the veggies are fresh. Sauce for the burger is pretty good as well. The fries were kind of good. Usually the fries are crispier and tasty, and the portioning is more generous. The service is good. The waitress was nice and helpful and answered any questions we had. The food didn't take long to make. The ambiance is cool. Gives a nice bar setting and a restaurant to enjoy your meal and listen to some juke music. The tables at the booth are a bit tall compared to the seatings though.

    Food was delicious! Highly recommend the chicken and biscuits with gravy! The servers were super nice and easy to talk to. Sitting outdoor was actually cozy and lovely with the hearing lamp. Great brunch spot!

    Service was great! Friendly staff, felt welcome. Food was absolutely scrumptious and so much of it! Definitely felt like a "dive" bar which I enjoy. Will go back!!!

    I totally recommend this place. They have really good comfort food, great service and nice ambiance. I tried the meatloaf and my husband the huevos rancheros with chorizo.

    Biscuits and gravy

    Great place to get breakfast. It's basically has a diner/bar environment. The staff was all friendly and attentive. I had the Biscuits and gravy. I was a little disappointed it was not hot but they was pretty busy. My wife had the oatmeal and we'll it was ooatmeal. Alooooooooha and happy eating.

Love how we can have fun playing games, taking pics, choosing a song, and having great conversations in the comfy booths. Service is helpful. One night one of the games ate our quarters up and never worked so we let the bartender know and a few minutes later he gave us our quarters back. Staff is efficient and keeps the bar clean picking up any left behind glasses quickly. The bar is quirky and fun. Private and comfy booths, and lots of clowns everywhere. Sad clowns, happy clowns, creepy clowns, and more clowns than you can count! The bathrooms are unisex with plenty of stickers to look at. Always hand soap and toilet paper available even when busy. Hard working staff! Some areas of the bar like near the bathrooms have flashy lights and makes it feel like you're at the circus. The vibe is laid back and care free. Have yet to try the food so no words on that quite yet! Always a great time at Shorty's. Literally one of my favorite bars! Highly recommend!

There is one (1) door attendant possibly for two venues?! I want to say there was a venue on top of this bar. Either way I saw Screwdriver Bar was downstairs so be sure you kinda know where you are going. Screwdriver Bar is (seemingly) free from a cover.

I underestimated the attractiveness of Happy Hour where many drinks are $1 to $3 off. The place was full and became even fuller (and louder) by the end of our meal. This bar is hopping with many regulars, alcohol-filled, with multiple screens televising sports. When we went in October, the food menu says the food is discounted 25% off during certain late hours. The current online menu doesn't say that anymore. Not sure if that deal is still available. Our server was easygoing. Note they charge 3% for credit card use. The Food: SRB Burger, $22 - 3 Stars Menu: Painted Hills beef, burrata mozzarella, basil aioli, arugula, pickled onions, hand cut fries Per the menu description, this burger sounded great. Unfortunately for hubby, this burger has the exact pet peeve that he dislikes the most - where the patty is small and tall (he calls it ball shape) compared to the bun. The patty diameter is significantly smaller than the bun. He literally hates that. I had to tilt the camera much lower to see the patty inside. On the plus side, the fries are great. Grilled Shrimp Club, $24 - 3.5 Stars Menu: bacon, lettuce, tomato, house made guacamole, roasted chipotle aioli, hand cut fries This club sandwich is very good except for the one thing that the menu didn't specify - the bun. They use ciabatta bread, which I find doughy, thick, and overwhelms a sandwich. That is my pet peeve for a sandwich. Neither of us is betting well on this night. They are probably more of a 3.5 Stars overall. We find their prices to be high, especially since they additionally charge a credit card fee. When we went, the cost was $21, $23 respectively. The prices are now $22 and $24 per online menu. I would not return for food only. I would return for a bar vibe.
