When I read about the recent racial discrimination allegations in Everett's Police Department, my horrible experience at Vintage Cafe from '11 suddenly came to mind. I (Negro) met up with a white woman on our first date at Vintage Cafe in '11; bad choice. The young white waitress never looked at me even when taking my order. It was blatant avoidance. We arrived 20 minutes before a wave of morning customers but our cold food was served after many of those customers - I believe it took an hour just to get our simple breakfast order. I wanted to leave so badly but didn't want my date to think I was someone who saw racism in everything. **Although, many of my negative WA experiences always felt racist.** What made me even more suspicious was the all-day stomachache I had following breakfast: scrambled eggs, tater tots, bacon and orange juice should be safe!!! I was on my knees in my apartment holding my stomach for hours!!! Hopefully Vintage has evolved from it's hateful evil ways but knowing that Everett's so stuck on stupid, I doubt it. read more

'Cafe' seems like a misnomer here at the Vintage Cafe. It is not a place for coffee and reading a book; maybe more of a place to have a beer and chat with friends. I stopped in with family for lunch and we had a good experience: the server was flaky and forgetful but attentive. The menu was typical pub food, and the prices were appropriate. If you're downtown Everett, I recommend the Vintage Cafe for a beer & burger. read more

Kate is wonderful. Food was delicious, price a touch high. I like that it is TV free. Will come back for sure. read more

Vintage Cafe - American Near Me - Everett, Washington

Best place in town. Great atmosphere and staff. Delicious food. We come every weekend for breakfast and bloody Mary's

I've been here a few times, food is usually pretty good, and a good deal for the price. They've got smaller portions for when I'm feeling fat and bigger portions for when I'm really hungry (after church!). Service is definitely sub par, the simplest thing you can do is refill my water without me asking, come on people... and a smile would be nice. You're lucky your food is good, else I would skip ya. read more

Classic wood bar with high chairs on one side, tables/chairs on the other. Exposed brick and several high windows make up the east wall. The front of the restaurant is all windows - nice natural lighting. I came in at 2:00 pm on a Thursday afternoon - not very busy but several tables were occupied. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger from the menu - which included breakfast and dinner choices. The coffee was very good, as was the burger which came with L, T, O, P and a side (I chose beef barley soup). The waitress was attentive and took care of all the customers in a friendly manner. 20s jazz (I'm guessing) played softly, which accentuated the pleasant mid afternoon ambiance. This may have been affected by the sun - the previous two days were cloudy and rainy, while today was clear, not only providing some welcome brightness but some amazing vistas of Puget Sound, distant islands and dramatic clouds. The food, atmosphere and timing made this a most enjoyable lunch. I would come back without hesitation and recommend the Vintage Cafe to any hungry visitor! read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE My mother, 4 yr old son, and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday morning at about 11am for breakfast as we were staying at the Courtyard Marriott close by for a wedding. We sat down at a table, were given menu's (along w/a kids menu and crayons) and then waited 20 minutes for a waitress to take our order. After 20 minutes w/out acknowledgement, water, or any service we got up and left. I would not go back. read more

Good stew and sandwiches, but the service is very iffy on busy weekends. The chicken sandwich is huge and delicious and it came with stew on the side instead of fries which made me happy. The Ruben is also a good buy, very moist and tender with flavor to go around. read more

I was a little worried when we walked in for dinner and there were only two other patrons. The waitress told us the owners are still trying to build up business after converting it from a bar, and it tends be much busier when there are events going on downtown. There were two of us eating and we both started with a green salad - fresh, crisp, what we were expecting. I had a burger and fries, and my friend had the French Dip. We both enjoyed our meals, it was good food for a good price. The historic building is fun and the waitress was prompt and friendly. I'll be back. On evenings and weekends there is free parking at the garage across the street or on the street. read more

One of the best place in Everett as we could find. Very good old school interior with walls from red blocks. Unfortunately they haven't any kind of coffee just only a plain. But as I want a capuchinno, so officiant give me some milk with it also. My wife takes soup as salad. Soup is good, but salad is too small ingredients just 1 piece of tomato and lot of greens. Just good place for taking time with family or friends in Everett.. read more

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast on a snowy day. The dining room and vintage decor is cozy and everything appears to be very clean. The server was super friendly and attentive. My husband had a chicken fried steak and I had biscuits and gravy. The food was good and I will definitely come back and try the lunch and dinner menu. They also have a great happy hour and early bird dinner menu. read more

Some of the worst service I've experienced at a restaurant. Waited at the front door for 30min without any one acknowledging us. A bunch of welfare looking employees serving table. Much better places to go in Everett! read more

Love this place! My friend who moved to Everett introduced me to this little "hole in the wall" that looks completely unassuming from the outside, with an old-time sign that looks like it's seen better days outside (but once you try it, it definitely adds to the charm!). It's a fantastic brunch spot because their breakfast is fabulous. I really miss Cracker Barrel since I moved here, and IHOP/Dennys are just a rip off. But this place has more home-cooked style breakfast like Cracker Barrel. Also: try their vintage french toast. Seriously. DO it. It's amazing. I haven't been in for lunch/dinner but I do want to try the chicken fried steak sometime soon. All these country staples that are so rare up here in hipster town, haha. :) The inside is so cute! I just love it. Definitely vintage with mood lighting, brick walls, vintage looking seating, and an adorably elegant bathroom. The staff can be pretty quick-and-dirty, sometimes coming off as a little bristly, especially when it's busy, but they are never blatantly rude, and they always do a great job of getting orders right and being accommodating. Definitely recommend trying it yourself if you like the country-style breakfast and hidden downtown gems! read more

Breakfast was pretty good. I found the chicken fried steak to be a bit better than average. My wife's corn flakes encrusted french toast was quite tasty, but withou the eggs meat add-on it proved to be a very light breakfast. Now I tend to dislike having to respond to the question "How was everything?" so my feelings weren't hurt when It wasn't asked. I was a little peeved however when the cashier didn't bother to say thank you. Even an insincere thank you would have been appreciated. read more

Found this place as a last resort since the other places we tried to go to were either closed or had a really long wait time. The atmosphere was definitely "vintage" and very dark inside. Food was sub-par, gravy seemed to be from out of a can and the biscuits were from Cash n Carry...homemade biscuits are the easiest thing to make btw!!! Shrimp cocktail was mushy, watery and gross. Coffee seemed watered down but the mugs were cool. Won't be going back. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. LAME FOOD. cool building. Recommend for worst cafe/restraunt in Everett. Rude, unfriendly, untrained "waitress" ( would be inconsiderate to actual waitstaff to consider her as a real waitress) Complained about 10 people in the pace as being "too busy to handle". Served cold coffee, and then gave us more cold coffee when we complained about it being cold. Got done with our meal and then had to wait almost a half hour for her to forget the kids ice cream. Gave up and tried to leave - had to wait almost 10 additional minutes for her to come out of the back room and ring up our order. Food was small portions and hardly any flavor at all. read more

I live downtown Seattle and will joyfully drive up north for Vintage Cafe! You must try the French dip. Yummm

My husband was stationed out here for a few months before I drove out and he'd comment on this place as a favorite of his. When I finally made it out here we went. This place is gorgeous. I love the look, and the amazing old photographs. The service was decent, not the best but I've had worse. The first time we went there the waitress completely bombed my order, don't know what happened but luckily I was okay with what I got. The second time we went there everything was perfect, and the food was still good. When my parents came out they wanted breakfast but didn't want a busy, big place so I took them there. My father can be a picky man but we all found things to try and we were all very pleased. I've never been in there when it was packed or even 'really' busy but it seems to have a steady influx of customers. I'm sure we'll go back a few more times this year. read more

I just moved to Everett, WA earlier this week. I decided that the first restaurant I'd try would be Vintage Cafe. I am VERY happy I made this choice! The menu consisted of many options. The particular dish I got was awesome! The waitress was very friendly, and was helpful in telling me about the downtown area and introducing me more to Everett. As friends and family visit me in my new home, I will be sure to recommend Vintage Cafe as a place to catch up and have a good lunch / dinner! read more

Felt a bit cautious after reading the mixed reviews, but met a friend at the Vintage for lunch, and happy to report that the food wad good, the service excellent, and there is most definately no bad smell. Well, the restrooms smell of disinfectant. The exposed brick interior, the Tiffany lamps,old photos and wood tables and chairs give the Vintage a warm and friendly atmosphere. No, it's not haute cuisine, but a great place for a relaxed lunch with a good friend. read more

FABULOUS FOOD, AWESOME SERVICE -if you are a regular they spoil the crap out of you! If you aren't- give them 5 minutes- you will feel like family!! We have eaten everything on the menu from a grilled burger patty to breakfast to their amazing salads- I LOVE AND ADORE the FISH N CHIPS!!!! Thanks Vintage!!!!! You guys rock! read more

This place is Vintage, that's fo sho. I had the oppurtunity to eat at this Restraunt with a couple of friends. To start the service was slow, but it was, as our server noted, because she was working alone and had a huge party in the banquet room as well as our table and a couple of others. My thing is, the Restraunt owner or manager should have set her up with some help. Service was dreadfully slow. Then we ordered our food. This came out with decent timing, considering the circumstances. I ordered the breaded veal dish. It was not to bad. The dish came with veggies and garlic mashed taters. Then we were able to choose dessert. I can't remember exactly what I had, but I do remember my bill. For around $12, I recieved a three course meal. Not bad on the prices. read more

After passing this place a ton of times, I finally decided to try it. The reviews were mixed so I had to find out for myself. The building itself is a treat, knowing it was around for so long. The food though was just ok. I always wanted to try a Monte Cristo sandwich so that is what I ordered. Instead of doing it like so many other places (so I have been told), they use french toast as the bread. The sandwich was good, fries were crisp. Service was fine but I am not sure that I am rushing back. read more

Did you know the the building was designed by Charles Hove in 1892 and construction was completed the following year? Just a little history fact for you. The Vintage Cafe has been around since 1976 and has been the place to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cafe doesn't open too early in the morning but the breakfast is well worth the wait. Lunch and dinner is fantastic, great micro-brews, warm & inviting decor, amazing staff, unique decor, free WiFi, easy to find, lots of seating available and clean bathrooms. Try the grilled oysters, surf and turf, Angus sirloin saute, pot roast and the clubhouse...you wont be disappointing. Vintage Cafe should be on your list of "have to's". read more

The Vintage Cafe is a homestyle cafe in the core of Everett. They serve old fashioned meals like pot roast, liver and onions, french dips and patty melts. Breakfast is biscuits and gravy, omelets and scrambles. When my boyfriend and I were disappointed that the Mermaid was closed for the holidays, we came here for breakfast. I had biscuits and gravy, with a pancake, he had an omelet with has browns. While the service was friendly, it wasn't enough to make up for the terrible food. The gravy was over thickened, had an uncooked flour flavor to it, and was highlighted with the taste of bacon grease. The potatoes were half cooked, a little hard in the center, but with crispy edges. I think my pancakes were a mix. Dinner is better. They serve an old fashioned "meal". Meaning you get soup or salad, your entree, a side plus dessert. I've had the fish and chips, and the silvertips burger. Both times it was satisfactory, and service was great, ensuring my iced tea was never empty. In the end, I'd skip it for breakfast at 1 star, but would go back for dinner and rate it at 3 stars. read more

Remanicent of days gone by is the historic vintage cafe. Food prepared from scratch. Hearty portions, efficient staff, and typically fast service. Try the classic meatloaf dinner for a real treat, or order from the early bird menu which is loaded with great meals and all the sides including dessert! This place is a gem in the rough...give it a try soon. read more

Over priced, small portions, won't be back. Not impressed. The staff was very nice, and the atmosphere was inviting. Just not great food, or value. Was charged $3.29 for 5oz treetop apple juice out of the can. And $3.49 for orange juice. Ordered two "vintage scrambles" they were mediocre. And got sourdough toast, which was terrible bread. Mine was so over toasted I couldn't eat it. Not planning to go back. read more

This place really dosnt deserve any stars the worst service i have ever had this place is really a bar that serves dennys quality food not worth the drive We went for my moms birthday made reservevations for a large party 13 not huge they screwed that up then we had to diffrent waitress one was a dip s*** who screwed up my order the other was snotty and really never figured out what her problem was horrible service i was pissed my wife lefy any tip at all not deserving when you serve bad food wrong food and never refill water no tip never would go here again read more

Way over priced. Ordered the skillet, had enough grease to lube a car, no seasonings, and there was hardly any potatoes. Plus the owner is a mask nazi. Good place to avoid. read more

My husband chose this place because it was kind of near our destination to pick up something at Despi Delite, and we needed a kid-friendly place to go. We had lunch. My husband ordered the Monte Cristo, I ordered the Fish & Chips, and we got a grilled cheese sandwich for our son. Note: The menu indicated the children's meal comes with ice cream. This is either not true anymore or they forgot because they never brought the ice cream. Oh well. We ended up getting our son a cookie at the bakery later. All in all, I'd say the experience was better than expected. There seemed to be only one person (maybe she's the owner?) working. She seated us, took our orders and brought our food to the table. Very friendly and great about checking in on us. I got the 2-piece fish & chips. They tasted really good. Very crisp and not saturated with oil. The fish was cooked perfectly. The fries were a tad salty for my liking, but probably just right for most people. They use real potatoes, though, and I appreciated that very much. The meal also came with a slice of bread that I think came down from Heaven! It could be the prego hormones (or not), but the bread made the meal for me. It was crispy on the edge and fluffy/airy in the middle. I don't know what kind of butter they used on it, but it wasn't noticeable at a glance. I could only tell from eating the bread that there was something on it. I had a bite of my son's grilled cheese (because he's at the phase where he only eats one type of food, so it was untouched). I was telling my husband this simple grilled cheese looked and tasted better than the Beechers one I had at Bellevue Square. The grilled cheese was on sourdough. It wasn't the hard, tear-up-the-roof-of-your-mouth kind of sourdough. It might have been the same type of bread that came with my meal. Really delish! My husband seemed pleased with his Monte Cristo. I hate ham, so I didn't try any of it. I take his word for it. For overall value, taste and service, I really enjoyed this place. I'd come back to try something else... and hopefully get my son some ice cream! read more

Vintage Cafe - LOVED the very affordable food and the wonderful ambience! I'm coming here again and bringing my friends and family. - American Near Me - Everett, Washington

Love the food here, in expensive but very good eating. My wife and I always get the 3 course meal, average 15 bucks. I would give 5 stars but I'm sure there is someplace out there that is better..... or maybe not. OK 5 stars. read more

Meh. I'm in town working for the weekend, from Oregon. I see this interesting looking place and go in. Brick and dark wood interior, old school Tiffany style lampshades, ceiling fans, kinda cool, so I go in. I wait ten minutes to be seated, sit down and have my laptop and DSLR camera on the table. I ask for WI-FI, and am given the name (Vintage Guest) and password. I look for the name, and there is no Vintage Guest. Waitress comes back: "What was the wifi name?" "Vintage Guest" "There's not one by that name. Is it something else?" "I don't know." Hurries off.... No problem. I hot spot my phone and she comes back to take my order. Thirty minutes later the waitress sees me and says "Sorry, we have new guys and they forgot your order." It happens. Fifteen minutes later food arrives: extra burnt potatoes and super runny eggs. She did say they were new. Not a great place, but it has potential. At least parking was tough to find. read more

My home away from home. This place is a staple of downtown Everett. It's not so much that food is phenomenal, it's just not bad. The Silvertip burger in honor of the hockey team, is a heaping pile of four kinds of meat. I often get their Deluxe chicken or the club sandwich as well. But honestly, one of the best things they have are their salads. Best ranch dressing I've ever had and the cobb salad is massive. Usually the place has great waitresses but it has been going a little down hill. read more

I was killing some time and spent a few hours here in the morning. It's a cool older building and the interior was clean, and the waitress friendly. However the menu and the guy cooking needs some serious help. The presentation is bland as well as the food. It's as if there is no pride taken and it's a matter of throwing something on a plate and taking your money. Maybe it's just hard finding good help but with all of the great restaurants around it's hard to imagine something so lifeless as this. The presentation and quality was something I would expect at a hospital cafeteria. The Chicken Plus salad I had was all iceburg lettuce - some shredded cheddar cheese - a few bacon bits - two wedges of tomato - and a tiny portion of what looked like microwaved chicken breast. It was horrible, and most of the salads on the menu looked to have the same basic ingredients other than the meat. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that is anything but extremely hungry and has low standards. If you're going to meet someone for a drink or cup of coffee then I would say you're going to enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Cute decor, great location and a decent value. However the menu is huge...and as with most large menus the quality wasn't superb. Food was fine and I would go back but likely won't become a regular with so many other nearby tasty options. Service was average. read more

Great vintage atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food tasted just like homemade! We loved it here. Would like to come back for sure.

Didn't get a chance to actually eat there because we walked out before they even brought us menus. Not kidding, there were 3 other tables being used out of the whole restaurant, and we didn't even get one word spoken to us (and yes they saw us, I even asked them a question and they didn't answer me or acknowledge me). We walked in and casually walked around until we just seated ourselves. 2 of the 3 tables we're eating and the other one was waiting to pay. The older lady that was waiting to pay was even making comments like, "are you coming back?". There were 3 girls standing around talking behind the bar. Don't know if the food is good or not, but I ended up going to the Mexican restaurant down the street. One conversation I heard on the way out was the staff saying that no one was in there because people are saving their money for Halloween.... No... It's not that... read more

First time to eat out since surviving the wicked flu. So glad we chose the Vintage Cafe in downtown Everett. Just what we needed, the warm ambience of brick & oak which has been around along time, friendly welcome from a nearby waitress, pleasant customers and having the perfect amount of attention from our waitress, Miriam. The Pot Roast mashed potatoes carrots salad and ice cream was like what Mom made for us. Come with an appetite because the plates are full. read more
