Best to approach southbound on Aurora. (Otherwise, take Linden and turn on 79th.) The menu is typically breakfast/lunch fare: pancakes/french toast, omelets, benedict's, along with sandwiches, burgers and soups. They also offer additional daily specials, and a kids menu. The food is delicious and very well prepared. This is a family owned restaurant and there is always a smile and gratitude for the customers. There is a Mexican grocery store on the other end of the block, offering a multi-purpose adventure!

Yum. Truly worth the hype and the line. The ube pancake was so tasty, decadent, and fluffy. I…read morerecommend getting one (two gals split one) instead of a stack because while it's so good, it's big and it's kind of like eating cake for breakfast. We also shared the combo silog which was a great way to sample more of the menu. I enjoyed the garlic rice and ilocos especially. The diner feels so cozy and homey - old photos of the owner and customers and magnets his guests left are a nice touch. Friendly and attentive service despite the busyness.

Made a stop at Ludi's for lunch after a hike. I've never not seen a line here during open hours and…read morehave only known about their ube pancakes. We waited a bit over an hour in line. You order at the front before being seated which means food arrives shortly after sitting down. With that noted, I wouldn't return to wait that long. First visit, to try a relatively famous spot, sure. Inside is a bit tight, but conversation can be had. My friends got the lumpia-silog and bistek-silog. Lumpia was tasty, but not particularly outstanding. Bistek was dry. The beef was tough to chew, seasoned alright on the outside but likely overcooked if not old. I opted for the oxtail silog which was delicious but pricey. Oxtail Silog - for $29, this plate definitely gets a double take. After waiting in the hour line, I figured I should commit for a tasty meal. Oxtail comes in a side bowl alongside a bit of hearty broth which the rice absorbs well. Meat is tender, falls off the bone, but pulling around oxtail bones isn't the simplest, so definitely have to bite around crevices. All in all, this plate was delicious but think it comes with a huge tourist tax I've had better value for oxtail plates. Ube Pancake Stack - four sizeable pancakes. Some pictures, including my own, don't do these justice. I can definitely get behind the hype. They're drenched in a rich ube sauce and there's plenty to go around. Honestly the ube flavor is present on the pancakes, but it feels relatively faint because the sauce is extremely sweet and flavorful, minimizing the pancake taste and expanding the gap between flavors. That being said, I think I would enjoy the pancakes with less sauce (or preferably, on the side).

When looking for late night foods in Seattle, there's really not a lot of options. This is…read moreparticularly the case after 3 AM, but that's where this cafe shines as the light in a sea of darkness, welcoming in people from around the city who just want sustenance after a night of mostly alcohol. It serves comfort food - classic breakfast diner items that can bring a person back from the dead. The eclectic fellows that inhabit this establishment in the wee hours of the morning come in all shapes and sizes, but they just have one goal - eat something greasy and satisfying. That's where this place delivers. I ended up here at slightly after 3 AM - and it was pretty packed. All the tables were full, and we were considering leaving after about ten minutes when one finally opened up. The servers are incredibly busy, and it took us about 15 minutes to actually get our order in. I got the cheese curds as my meal. These were easily the best cheese curds I've ever had. In Seattle, I've had a few instances of cheese curds that are relatively sad on the inside - they have a decent fry, but fail on the cheese aspect. That's absolutely not the case here. This cheese is amazing. It's the perfect level of squeakiness, and the stretch is unreal. It has a very unique flavor that you'll only find in cheese curds, that soft yet milk-like taste that's so addicting. It was melty, gooey, and hot inside. The taste was just pure heaven - I was shocked at how good these were. The fry on the outside is also so good. It's light yet so crispy; a beautiful golden brown that produces an amazing crunch when you eat it. Just phenomenal. The sauce provided with this was solid, but honestly I didn't even need it as the curds were amazing by itself. I tried some of the chicken fried steak as well. This was fine. The scrambled eggs were decent, but the hash browns felt a little limp and soggy. The steak itself was pretty average. The prices here aren't too bad either - my cheese curds were around $16, but the portion size was more than enough. Overall, this is a true late night classic that serves pretty great food as well. 8.75/10

I really wanted to give it a second chance before making my mind up to "not stop by again" to even consider eating here again. There is no pride in the food they put out and it shows plus the prices are too expensive. Eat there at your own leisure folks. As in "don't" go hungry. On a scale from 1-10 (10 being excellent) I rate it a 1. Try a smaller menu and find a cook who has pride in his/her cooking this is how you can improve for starters.

Rated at 3.5-stars (not a full 4.0*)…read more This restaurant is one shop in a string of shops on Greenwood Avenue. It's a little dark (window only on the street side), and it's seen better days. The staff seems friendly enough, but they are stretched thin, and it took a while for the server to take my order, then a while for the kitchen to actually produce it. The food was adequate, but nothing special: I had the Big Dipper breakfast & tea - in my case scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, hash browns, and a sausage patty. The hash browns were pretty standard, the scrambled eggs pretty standard, the sausage patty huge and greasy, and the two blueberry pancakes huge and very thick (a little heavy). It was a lot of food, more than I wanted to eat. They had a good variety of teas, but not the one I wanted (Earl Grey) so I settled for English Breakfast. There was nothing wrong with breakfast or the restaurant, but not much to get excited about either. I probably won't go back, but if I do, I'd expect the food to be adequate but not worth a special trip. Going out for breakfast is a pleasure, but when I pay restaurant prices for breakfast, I expect it to be a little more enjoyable than this was.

Caveat: I've been to other Skillet Diners for breakfast and loved it…read more My friend and I went to this Post Alley location for dinner snd drinks. The location is cute (the usual Skillet decor and aesthetic) and the service was good. Everything else was super lackluster. I ordered the $13 Old Fashioned. I was served what looked like a taster. A tiny jar with a little whiskey (maybe 1oz) muddled with an orange slice, 2 Maraschino cherries, and simple syrup. It was overly sweet. Basically whisky infused fruit. Terrible value, I'd expect a lot more for the price. The Good Burger did not live up to its name. It was surprisingly dry (I ordered med rare, there was no pink). My girl friend ordered the chicken Caesar. The chicken was flavorless in dire need of seasoning. It also tasted soggy (like it was previously frozen).

I kept telling myself to stop eating them, but I just couldn't. Glo's offers several specials as well, plus a cocktail menu to go along with the various food items.

Their service is genuinely atrocious and I wish I had read the other reviews prior. Not only did my group (of 5) have to wait beyond their estimated 25-45 minute wait period and ended up waiting over an hour to be seated and an additional 45 minutes for food to come out after ordering, we were met with the most abominable treatment ever. The hostesses have nothing but hatred in their attitude and it makes me wonder why they even want a job at this point. The main hostess was giving my group dirty stank eyes because 40 minutes into waiting we decided to ask for an update and they responded with a snarky remark that our group was large and needed to wait. There were plenty of empty tables that could have been pushed together but they would only seat us at the booth seats, which they only had 2 tables for. They sat numerous other large groups before us as well, even though they came after us, but their groups were of White people rather than people of color. Coincidence? I think not. Later, I had asked a different hostess if they had a bathroom to which she stared at me and just said yes and then stopped responding. I had to prompt her to tell me where it was...like is this not common sense that I was asking where it was? The server himself was actually really great and kind, but it could not make up for the horrible treatment we received from the hostesses throughout the entire time, and I can't help but feel it was racially based as my group was all Asian and almost all other customers were White. The food itself wasn't the worst but it does not make up for the lack of service either. If I were the boss, I would remove the hostesses who are causing this lack of service to customers. It seems like I am not the only one who received poor treatment after reading other Yelpers reviews. It's insane to me that in this day and age, and especially in an area so close to Seattle, we can still experience these outdated and cruel treatments of racism and ignorance. Overall, I wish I could rate this place a 0/5, but Yelp simply doesn't allow that. I hope you guys think again before coming here to eat, unless you like being demeaned before a meal.

The Cluck Chub 5/5 Let me start off by saying that this sandwich is absolutely massive and messy but also one of my favorite chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The patty was juicy and well-seasoned without being too salty. The other toppings like the bacon jam, bacon, lettuce, cheeses, etc complemented the sandwich well without overpowering anything. The grits were one of my favorites-- I can't seem to find lots of grits places in Seattle. With all of that being said, I will warn you that this sandwich is extremely messy so be prepared to clean up! Overall, the ambiance, food, and service was all very good but I will have to ding a star for the price. This sandwich was about $20 before tip which IMO is a bit on the pricy side for breakfast/lunch even in Seattle. I would probably still come back though :)
