The Black Duck is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant and bar in Issaquah. I can vouch for the…read moremushroom burger and the duck pizza, as well as some of the whiskey cocktails. The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

We love the eclectic crowd that all have a great time together! They have pool, darts, pull tabs & touch tunes so you can play your favorite music! The bar tenders have all been here a while & are all wonderful & offer great service. The drinks are cheap & you can order a few food items that are cooked to order in the air fryer. Or you can bring in food to eat from any of the restaurants in the area or just eat some yummy free popcorn! We've had so many Christmas, Birthday & Super Bowl parties here & they even encourage potlucks! Definitely give this place a visit.

My friend and I needed to find a place we could hang out in Issaquah after 10pm and this is one of…read morethe only places open late so I was excited to check it out. I ordered a cosmopolitan and the bartender Kate was the absolute sweetest. She was worried about not making my drink correctly but she actually made it perfectly!! I loved every sip, it was the perfect amount of citrusy and sweet! My friend ordered a blue moon and was surprised when the bartender offered him an orange slice to go with it. He said it's supposed to come that way but normally bars don't offer the orange slice. My friend and I stuck around for hours chatting with the bartender and some of the other patrons. We even played a couple rounds of billiards. I love the local vibes at this bar. If I lived within walking distance, I would honestly come here more often. The atmosphere is cosy and everyone is so friendly.

Our designated driver ordered a soda water and was charged $4, and it was rung up as a Coke. Then…read morewe ordered one double, which was rung up as $9 twice - $18 for ONE drink. I'm sorry, but $18 for a double at a neighborhood dive bar is crazy. And charging the designated driver $4 for a soda water seems pretty excessive too. I'm all for businesses making money and I understand prices increase, but there's a difference between a price increase and prices that make you wonder if you're suddenly at an upscale cocktail bar.

This is a decent sports bar very close to Costco/REI/Target in Issaquah. The food is just above…read moreaverage for sports bars, although the prices are certainly above average since they're very reasonable. The service is attentive and friendly and have good rapport with the 'regulars.' You won't be treated like a regular, but the service is still good no matter what. Another reviewer mentioned they have great ranch, which I'll need to try since their blue cheese doesn't taste very good to me. They also have a pool table (maybe two) and some video games but the location is big enough to accommodate all that and more. In fact, they are big enough to span across two different parking lots with entrances for each, which is nice.

The place reminds me of some of the other sports bars in the area, which is not a bad thing, The service was on point , bouncing back and forth between two of them . I got the fish taco there were three really good with a side of slaw , with a blue moon for a side drink. The GF got the fish and chips Three nice size pieces of fish and tots with a Mac and jacks This was the second choice I was wanting not for beer mind you I was looking for raven style. Any way. Nice place tv , people, will return for a try at the burgers .

My friend lives nearby and has been several times but this is my first time coming - I'll definitely be back when a soccer game brings me out to the Preston/Issaquah area. My friend ordered a salad and an iced tea, I had a coffee and a tuna melt on GF bread. Not a normal order by me at all but I was craving a sandwich for some reason and it was really good. Not too much mayo, good crunch and tanginess with the pickles. Fries were well seasoned and fried. Super affordable, nice easy spot to catch up and have a good bite to eat. What's not to like? My only small complaint is their house made ketchup - sweeter and runnier than I'd like and unfortunately, they don't carry any other type of ketchup.

Ate at The Well and Table for dinner with a friend this weekend. The bread and butter starter was…read moredelicious, and my entree of spring pea and sausage linguine was *even better*. Sadly they were out of their corn chowder by 6:30. My friend happily scarfed down her entire porkchop, which she was impressed to have done as they're quite large chops! I was not 100 percent sold on their interpretation of bread pudding but that was more a personal style preference than a bad item. Our server was great - friendly and checked in on us but not so much as to interrupt conversation. It's a fairly large restaurant and was bustling on a Saturday night. I will say if you have an important conversation to have, probably not the right place as it's quite noisy, especially if you're near the kitchen. Or ask to move to the patio, if the weather is good! If you want a busy place with a community feeling, this is perfect.

What a great dining experience after a very disappointing experience at another local Mexican…read moreRestaurant. We popped in here late on Mother's Day Eve. Got seated immediately, and greeted very shortly thereafter. Tony / Antonio was not only our server but also our mixologist. The place was buzzing but not out of control, a good mellow vibe of people. We had the Chicken Tacos and the chicken enchiladas (with Beans & Rice). Wow, what great flavor and volume of food. We really enjoyed our meals, and plan to avoid the other place, and spend more time here. Thank you!

I usually just get takeout from here but tonight I dined in with some family…read more The food was fantastic but unfortunately the service was absolutely awful. Our waitress (who did not give her name) was not very friendly or attentive. She even interrupted and skipped my family member as they were beginning to order and asked someone else for their order next. It made no sense and was strange. On top of that she just kind of gave a "I don't want to be here and I'm annoyed" vibe. After we got our bill we noticed that some of the charges were incorrect. A kids meal order was rung up wrong, charging extra money for meat even though it was included, and a kids drink was charged as an adult. We kindly tried to explain that she charged us incorrectly and if she could please fix it. She started explaining that we had ordered the kids burrito not taco, even though we definitely ordered, she definitely inputted, and we were most certainly delivered a kids taco. She then said that we needed to clearly specify that it was a kids lemonade even though it was clearly implied that the lemonade was for a child. I guess that's on us cause we didn't say "kids lemonade"? Like come on... She was not kind or helpful about the issue at all and refused to fix the bill. We left frustrated and discouraged to go back. Be ware of the bad service if you're looking to dine in.

Started with a sampler. 5 beers of my choosing. I prefer less-hoppy, and the range of light-to-dark beers I chose (based on bartendress recommendations) met this criteria. Especially enjoyed the Kolsh and the Chocolate Porter. SERVICE: 4.0. Great advice on the beers. AMBIANCE: 4.0. Large enclosed patio. Inside features 1960's and earlier automotobile-related decor. OK music playing at polite volume. 2 muted video screens, one above the other: the top played sports and then an action movie, while the bottom screen displayed a calming string of enchanting Bob Ross videos. Slightly baudy yet pleasant automobile-related artworks in the men's restroom.

As of now though, they get 5 stars just for the dessert. Bussin!

I appreciate that they offer food to make a family outing easier but there are some room for improvements before I will eat a meal here again. The food was mediocre (not great quality chicken in my chicken sandwich, and the pizza for the kids was not very good). The service was really lacking though. There were 5 staff just standing around behind the bar. When our food was delivered to us, I asked for plates and the guy never delivered them. I got up and got them myself and the guy I asked was standing at the bar on his phone. We had to get our own silverware and waters and it appeared that we should bus our own table so we did. I'm not sure what a service fee and tip are even for. Maybe it's unclear what kind of service to expect here? Either way, it was either confusing or not great service. I'd recommend Formula Brewing right next door. Their pizza is great and it's also kid friendly.
