Sat in the outdoor area next to the building which was nicely shaded. Picnic tables have fixed benches so not the best for larger/taller people but there are free standing tables outside as well. You are sitting right under a highway entrance so it could get loud. Server was very friendly and attentive. Food was wonderful. Went on Sunday and brunch items were available as well as the full menu. 5 people in the group and we all got something different and we all cleaned our plates. So delicious

Great spot for a family. They offered our kids wiki stix and chalk to draw on the ground! The following was plenty for a family of 4 including two small kids: elote corn, fries, pork belly bahn mi, and salmon tacos. Everything was great except for salmon tacos. I'd skip those. Wife got a cocktail and I also got a beer flight with all beers made by them. Usually not a flight guy, but wanted to taste what they had to offer. Good stuff! Around $110 including tax and tip as of July 2026.

I say at the bar amidst a fairly empty lunch crowd and was able to enjoy a nice calm in the middle of a busy city and busy day. The restaurant was clean and felt inviting. The food had no shortage of flavors. The bread for the cheesesteak was even made in house! It was incredibly soft. I wish there was more steak in the sandwich, it was loaded with grilled veggies and was nonetheless delicious. The star for me was actually the pozole. The hominy was cooked perfectly! And the flavor profile danced on my palate to the last bite. They use vegetarian option chorizo (impossible meat) for this, and they communicate that upon ordering as well. I look forward to my next bowl!

All street parking was full for blocks so we parked a few blocks away and walked. Only when we entered did we notice they validate parking for restaurant guests at the nearby parking garage. We were there in time for evening happy hour and they had a lot of choices for food and drink but to be honest, I thought the prices for happy hour were not that cheap and compared to other restaurants. Our server did a great job answering our questions and bringing out our food and drinks. We ordered zucchini fries and nachos. The zucchini fries were delicious and perfectly crunchy with the batter on top. We really enjoyed those. The nachos were flavorful too but the cheese wasn't what we were expecting. It was a green chili queso but it seemed very runny vs a thicker cheese. It was still delicious but just something different than we expected.

There is something about coming here on a weekday morning that makes you feel like everything will work out. The menu is inventive, and they offer a "regional" cuisine that changes every few months. In my experience, this makes it fun to come back and see what's changed. They change the art as well to reflect each new region. Little things like this make Endolyne feel like more than just another diner going through the motions. The servers here lean towards excellent service. For example, I had my coffee refilled three times. I had a water ready only a moment after sitting down. They get pretty busy on the weekends, so make sure you don't get it in your head that you can just show up at 11:30 am unannounced on a Sunday and be instantly seated. The crispy potatoes are great, the cathead biscuits are solid, and the proteins always satisfy. I've eaten here over 20 times, and had only 1 dish I didn't really care for. If you are looking for a solid diner with cozy vibes, this is it. Remember folks, tasty "diner" food. Go in with that expectation, and you'll have a great time. And at the price we all pay for breakfast nowadays, I prefer Endolyne to Portage Bay anytime.

Favorite: Biscuits and gravy Mole- one of the best we have had in Washington - the mole sauce is cooked into the chicken really well. Rich but not overpowering. Mac and cheese. So creamy and using the radiatori pasta really helps to soak up all the cheese. Love their Vera Cruz salad- really well executed, I often just have that for my main course. They have their outdoor deck open now for the season, so we can bring our dog as well.

I was greeted with a smile by a server whose name I didn't catch. I ordered a breakfast burrito and a spinach-havarti scramble with home fries and a biscuit. My wait wasn't long, but I did step outside for a bit since the sun was shining. I figured I'd soak up a few rays before the rain returned. After a few minutes, the young lady came outside and handed me my bag. My first mistake was not checking my order before heading home. When I opened the bag, I found my burrito, which was large, packed to the brim, and looked great. Then I opened the container with the scramble. I'm honestly not sure if I was given someone's half-eaten order that they had asked to have packed up, or if the kitchen decided to make a scramble with one egg. The portion was extremely small, especially considering the price I paid. I could literally count the home fries, and the scramble looked like it contained one egg. I also left a cash tip, so I was especially disappointed with the portion I received. The burrito was good and generously filled, but unfortunately, the scramble was a major letdown. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll be returning. For the price, I expected a much more substantial meal.

We came in a rainy day the floors were slippery so be careful. I got the steak and eggs. The steak was sadly very thin and small and not seasoned. The potatoes were pretty good and well seasoned. My sister got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was well seasoned too. My dad seemed to enjoy the classic breakfast. I also got a peach juice. It was pretty good and tasted like it was from concentrate. We also got a side of truffle fries. Probably the the best part of the meal. Really great garlic truffle flavor. I did not save a photo but halfway through I found a very obvious hair. They nicely comped it and our drinks. The staff was very nice. I'd give their dinner menu a try.

I got a kick out of both Star Wars and SpongeBob being played on the bar TVs while we decided on our order! Loved the chill vibe here. We ordered pickle chips to split-these were INCREDIBLE-they came with ranch, and they were crispy and chewy. They were addicting, and not greasy, oily or heavy in the batter they used to fry them. These managed to be both filling and light. Absolute win. I ordered an ABV free drink, True North. This was one of my favorite drinks I have ever had. I loved this combination of lime, ginger beer, hibiscus and the Pathfinder Hemp & Root. This was my first time trying this line of ABV free spirit, and I was blown away. True North was refreshing, not too sweet, bubbly and bright. We will definitely be coming back-there were lots of foods and cocktails we wanted to try.

You might have to wait for them to remember what they are selling, or flag them down for a check. If there were drink specials that made more sense, I could see a legitimate reason to spend time here drinking. This Goblin would pass on the food. I don't come here to eat. The food: expensive for what it is. Long ago dear reader, this Goblin worked in food service. He can spot "ready-made foods" from a mile away. This place leans more "eating to satiate", than "eating to satisfy", no matter how hard I fight my Goblin brain. Each meal, I come to terms with the sucker I am for eating a $27 omelette before tip. Herein lies our problem dear reader. Do I want a hummus plate for $12-15, that is essentially a disassembled and then reassembled menagerie of pre-made product on a plate? Or how about a cup of some mid-gumbo for $8? As a Goblin I have eaten many old soups out of a dirty cauldron, but Mid-Gumbo tastes like how Jack Harlow must feel waking up and telling himself he got blacker. Concerning the food (and Jack Harlow), it's about more than just lack of seasoning.
