Van's 1885 Bar & Grill

The menu is the usual fare, but special requests are happily expected and the results often exceeds what's available in the many establishments in Seattle.

The guy at the register was beyond his pay grade in customer service, but the rest of our…read moreexperience was not so good: - the wait was long - about 20 minutes of waiting in the dusty wind outside. We ordered at the walk-up window, but the drive thru was equally slow (the order mic is only one car behind the pickup window, so they can't possibly queue/prep more than two drive thru orders at a time). - the burgers were all (4) cooked about five minutes past well done. They were hard to bite, hard to chew, and hard to swallow. Condiments helped, but not enough. Maybe this is (part of) why orders were taking so long. - the tater tots were beyond crispy - there was no potato left in them. It was fun for the first couple of tots, but then it had a really artificial feel to it - like those french fries that you buy in the potato chip bags. We regretted stopping here, and very much doubt that we will ever be back.

We have stayed in each of the cabins and the motel. We had our sister's memorial service here 8 years ago. The staff, as always, is impressive. They are eager to help and to solve problems. This week we are staying here for the last time. Although we have treasured memories, we can no longer tolerate the sub-par and overpriced accommodations. The carpet is filthy. The kitchen is not stocked with dish towels, serviceable spatulas, serving spoons, potholders serving dishes, large sauce pan, dishwasher, decent coffee or a coffee pot. The mattresses are worn out and saggy. The sofa is past end of life. The lighting is badly designed. The electrical outlets are so worn out that a two-prong power block will not stay plugged in. Although the addition of WiFi is welcome, the administration of the system is awful. I could not log in with both iPhone and iPad because I failed to save the password the first time I signed up. The personal hotspot is blocked, so I am no unable to log in with my computer. The single commode, shower stall and sink for a group of five adults is inadequate. It breaks my heart to post this review. We have loved being here over the years. I would be delighted to read reviews in the future about the amazing renovations.

After we were seated, I asked our waitress, Bella, where the restroom was. She pointed me in the right direction, which required walking through an adjacent room where an older woman was selling horse-related items. When I tried to pass through to the restroom, the woman seemed hesitant to let me access it until Bella explained that I was a customer having lunch. While I was in the restroom, my daughter and her boyfriend encountered the same thing. I actually heard Bella assure the woman that they were also there having lunch. It was a strange and unwelcoming way to start our visit. Food-wise, I ordered the chili burger, which is advertised as having homemade chili and, if I remember correctly, "the best chili north of the border." Unfortunately, the chili tasted canned to me and was honestly lower quality than something like Hormel. I definitely wouldn't order it again. The rest of my party had a French dip and fries, a salmon patty burger and fries, and a "works" burger with fries, and they all enjoyed their meals. We did get a seat overlooking the river, which was by far my favorite part of the experience. It was a beautiful view. Bella was also friendly and attentive throughout most of our meal, refilling our coffee and water several times. What bothered me most happened toward the end. Before we had even finished eating, Bella came over asking if we were done and whether she could clear our plates. My daughter had only eaten half of her French dip and was literally still eating her fries. It gave me the distinct impression that we were being rushed out. My daughter clearly felt awkward and agreed to have her food boxed while looking at me as though she wasn't sure how she was supposed to respond. When I paid with Apple Pay, the woman handling the transaction also asked me to come back after completing the payment, which I assume was to verify that it had gone through. By itself, I probably wouldn't have thought much of it. Combined with the restroom encounters and feeling rushed from our table while we were still eating, though, the overall experience left me uncomfortable. Half of our group are Pacific Islander/Asian, and I don't casually attribute poor service to racism. I rarely feel that I've experienced racial discrimination, especially living in the diverse Seattle area. But I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind here. I can't know anyone's intentions, and I'm not going to claim with certainty that race was the reason we were treated this way. I can only say that the combination of interactions made us feel unwelcome and left me wondering whether we would have been treated differently if we looked different. I sincerely hope this was a one-off experience, especially since I understand this establishment has been around for more than 35 years. The river view was wonderful, most of my party enjoyed their food, and Bella was attentive in other respects, but unfortunately the way we felt welcomed--and then seemingly rushed out--overshadowed the positives for me.

Wise business move, smart guy. Way to tank your bottom line. Unreal. Discriminate against potential employees and alienate your customer base? Bless your heart. The new owners are hateful, antagonistic and inconsiderate buffoons. Take a look at their social media pages. This recently deleted posting I've included is far from the worst they've thrown up. Walk the short distance to Nier The Nook for quality food/service, and zero social or political garbage rammed down your throat. read more

They have a decent beer selection including some local stuff and a number of pool tables and dartboards on the area opposite the karaoke. The bartenders were all very nice and took really good care of everyone here, despite it being crazy. I didn't have a chance to sample any of the food, but they had a rather extensive list of burgers and sandwiches. I think it's a sort of spot we're going to need to come back to for lunch someday! Pulltabs are definitely not my thing, but for those that enjoy them, they had something like 20 different options. A good spot to check out if you're looking for somewhere to hang or dive bar at which to do karaoke.

Their blonde was a little hoppier than expected (in a good way), and the blueberry beer was really smooth and flavorful. But the real showstopper here is the pizza. These aren't your average bar pizzas--they're handmade, beautifully done, and full of flavor. You really have to see or taste them to understand how much love goes into making them. And the prices? Totally reasonable for how good they are. After all these years of driving by, I can't believe we waited this long to check it out. Great drinks, amazing pizza, and a cool atmosphere--we'll definitely be back.
