    You're definitely paying for the location when you come here. We ordered 2 beers, 2 chowders, and 2 fish tacos. They actually forgot our drink orders until we asked about them. The server said they bar misplaced the orders. Did I mention, the place was pretty empty. The chowders were pretty good, loaded with chunks of crab and flavorful.The highlight of the visit. The fish tacos, not so much. Both the taco shell and the fish were dry. I'd expect a bit more for $11. The decor was nice & the views were beautiful. 2025-31

    Food is okay. Food took awhile and service was a bit slow but they did check in with us. Just an overall okay experience:

    Dungeness crab for happy hour only $15.  Best deal around for 7 days a week. 10/10

    We sat at the hightop tables in the bar area. Happy hour available here. I think the bartender was Aubrey? Her first day working and she greeted up was a happy face and was awesome. My daughter has gluten issues and she had questions that she said she would look into. Next thing we know the Chef came over and explained the things she could make gluten free. That is awesome service!!! She went with the lingcod that was absolutely awesome. Thank you to the bartender and Chef! You guys were great!

    Great service! My 3-piece lingcod entree $29 was perfectly cooked. It was served with a generous portion of French fries, which were crispy and hot, just like the fish. The slaw was a bit too sweet for my liking but the ingredients were fresh and crunchy. The Caesar salad and bowl of chowder were pitch perfect too. If there is one complaint it is the very limited dessert options. Only 3 choices but no chocolate, no caramel... only 3 rhubarb desserts: sorbet, cheesecake, slump w vanilla ice cream. That's a big miss by the executive chef IMHO. I eat out often, several times a week, and I'll put this place in heavy rotation.

    Anthony's pier self service cafe very good for quick bite or drink. We took 2 taco 1 x mahi mahi and 1 x salmon taco. Salmon was very yummy but mahi mahi was a bit dry. It needs some salsa or sauce. We got only ketchup for fries. Unfortunately with virus there is no more salt or pepper on the tables anymore and there is nowhere individual small salt packets. Everything you have to ask for. Even straws or utensils. It's a bit annoying. I wish they just kept individual plastic utensils. Margaritas were mediocre but it's only $6 so I don't expect anything fancy. Vanilla ice cream was very good with very good taste and texture. ------ Overall had a nice quick bite with nice fancy view. Place could be much cleaner and staff could be more friendly.

    Classic seafood spot. Next to the ocean view. The service was great and food were very fresh. We ordered Cod fish & chips, clam chowder and steamed cheesy clams. Good portion of the course.

    Half Dungeness Crab

    I tried to find some fresh seafood on the waterfront and other places in Seattle. I saw some good options but the restaurant was closed or busy due to Mother's day. I had a 1/2 chilled Dungeness crab which was good and reasonably priced. The staff and bartender seemed like sometimes they were overworked and short-staffed but they tried hard.

    Clam chowder

    It was my first night in Seattle, and it happen to be my birthday, so I wanted to go somewhere that was a local favorite. The service at Anthony's was great, and timely. I had just missed happy hour, but the drinks weren't badly priced, and they were mixed perfectly in terms of alcohol volume. The food was a little bland, especially because I'm coming from the south, but it was nothing some hot sauce couldn't fix. The portion however was small, & not worth the $22 price.

    Anthony's Bell Street Diner is located by the water and is not too far away from Pike's Place Market. If you crave the exercise, you can walk from the Market to here. But if you had a toddler and a senior citizen with you like we did, driving would save you a lot of time and... other stuff. There is no parking lot or structure on Alaskan Way, the vehicle thoroughfare on which Anthony's Bell Street Diner is located. The closest one we found was on Elliot Street and we had to use the pedestrian bridge to reach the water side of Alaskan Way. There is no other crosswalk nearby. Ordered the mixed fresh oysters and was glad that it came with a picture "oyster guide". The Fisherman's Basket had a selection of battered and fried seafood as well as fries that tasted really good. The Salmon dish was seasoned well and was cooked perfectly. Kids Menu is available. We had a great view form our window seats and we relished the time to sit comfortably and have a large, clean and well-stocked restroom during our wanderings.

If not considering the event itself, then this place is just the storefront with their kitchen in the back, and their interior is essentially all the seating inside the Armory itself. They're conveniently sandwiched between The Little Chicken Teriyaki and Big Mike's Sandwich Co., not too far from the doors leading to the restrooms. They serve seafood baskets, fish and chips, poutines and samplers on their menu, and you place your order on a kiosk at the front. Staff were ready to answer questions, and had a lot of good energy when serving orders to me and their other customers. I split with two others in my group the sampler, which consists of two pieces each of fried cod, oyster and shrimp, all on top of a bed of French fries. The tempura batter for all three came apart a little too easily, though it was even more so with the fried cod, as it was hard to use a spoon and fork to scoop up the easily broken pieces. Shrimp and oyster were both really good and not too salty on their own. French fries were also really filling, and were very fresh - they were on the verge of being too salty. Overall portion was relatively big and all three of us got full from splitting this.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

My 10-year-old daughter is usually very suspicious of fish. Like, if it even smells "too ocean-y," she's out. But somehow this place turned her into a seafood enthusiast for the afternoon because she absolutely demolished her cod fish and chips. Not a crumb left behind. We were all staring at her in disbelief I ordered the 16oz clam chowder, which was rich, creamy, and hit the spot perfectly because Seattle weather basically demands chowder. My husband got the salmon fish and chips and let me just say... the salmon absolutely showed up the cod. No offense to the cod, it tried its best lol. Also, can we talk about the fries for a second? I don't know what kind of magical potato situation they have going on back there, but my husband and I could not stop eating them. Crispy, salty, addictive little things. Overall, the food was amazing, we left full and happy, and my daughter discovering she actually likes fish might've been the biggest surprise of the trip. Would definitely come back!

Whenever someone is visiting, we come here. Whenever I run into a stranger visiting, i say they have to come here. My friends know if i'm celebrating anything, "are you getting crab nachos?!"

The outdoor patio is still there which was a nice addition from 2019/2020 era. Some of their bourbons are still reasonably priced. Their food is pretty good.
