I liked this place. $79 for 2 salmon sandwiches, bag of chips and 2 glasses of wine. Wine and the sandwiches were amazing but for the price tag I wanted more than a small bag of Flamin hot cheetos. I also wish they had a full bar. The chips and salsa were good but the "salsa trio" wasn't necessary- I'd rather a full tub of the green stuff than 3 small cups that my chip can't fit in All good tho - Great ambiance. Order at the counter. Right on the water. Tall stools and Adirondack Massive hot sauce bar read more

I stopped by this restaurant with a friend visiting from out of town on a Friday afternoon. The place was empty so we were able to find plenty of seating right by the water, which was a plus. The staff were super friendly, the place had plenty of street parking, the ambience was great, and there was no wait when we arrived - all great! I wish I could give this place a higher rating but the food was so awful. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and my friend ordered a burger. That quesadilla was... the most bland quesadilla I've ever tasted. It didn't taste like anything. Had to think for a second if I was sick, but nope, the quesadilla just tasted like... nothing. Sadly left the restaurant disappointed because I expected a tasty meal read more

Pulled pork sandwich is amazing. Mathew the chef told me it is smoked 4 hours. Also the salmon sandwich is a big filet of salmon so def a great portion and a great choice. Wine selection is also amazing. Beers on tap are cold and hit the spot. Shrimp tacos are serving of 3. Super tasty! We also had steak lollipop which is 2 steak portions- delicious like 2 meat sticks. Spacious patio seating and 2 large couch areas. Nice to see dog bowls for pooches and sand buckets for kids to play in the sand. The view of the water at sunset is stunning. At night seeing all of Seattle was very romantic. read more

What a stunning location. We were at Gas Works and the view was so beautiful from there, I wanted to continue the experience. I simply googled "wine" in the area and searched for waterfront options. We walked from Gas Works to Bowriders Grill, which was a little tricky. We arrived at the restaurant and found a sign that they're closed because of water issues ? Thankfully we explored further and saw people sitting at tables. Turns out we were actually at the restaurant next door called Westward. It was confusing but you have to walk down a pathway through a shipyard to get there. I'm glad we made the effort to figure it out. Beautiful restaurant with beautiful views and great service and great prices! Highly recommend!! read more

Great views of Seattle - Mediocre food - Slow service - Limited space. I love this spot because of the location. It's a great place to see Seattle by the water. However....saw on the reviews people raved about this place and outside of the location, I simply cannot rave. Weekend nights are busy, waited 40min in line to order and then an additional 30 for food. Only a handful of the seats have the money shot of the water - it was competitive to get good seating. We got chips, a beer and a glass of rose and then the bbq chicken and bbq pork sandwiches. I won't remember this food for any reason besides the pickled onions lol. I did enjoy those. The bbq was lacking flavor and some of the chicken was over cooked. Sandwiches are big I'll give them that, but wouldn't order again and can't recommend. read more

As my 12 year old said - 5 stars! What a gem of a find after going to Gas Works Park. Opened in 2021. Fun spot with deliciously, cared for and curated food. We had bbq sandwich, shrimp skewers, grilled cheese, hamburger and drinks. Overlooking the lake and downtown Seattle with plant of outdoor seating. We sat at the "boat" seats that had a fire pit and relaxed while enjoying our good food. Can pull up to boat dock for gas too if you had a boat. A place to check out and support!

I really liked this spot. Gorgeous view of SLU and the food was honestly really tasty and reasonably priced. My piece of salmon was massive! Very casual spot to catch up with friends and sip on some wine. Be prepared to be patient because parking can be hard on sunny days being so close to Gasworks, and the food wait can be long if it's busy but that just means more time to chat! You can get chips and cookies while you wait for your meal if you're hangry. I loved watching the boats go by. read more

Great place on the waterfront that's closer than Westward. Loved the salmon skewers and elote. What's interesting is that they took a boat and cut it into four pieces to make benches around a fireplace which is very cute. There's also Adirondack chairs to sit in as well. They had a limited selection of beers and wines at the moment. I will definitely be back read more

We tried to go to this place three times. Two out of three, we showed up exactly at their opening time (12:00 pm) but they had a notice on the gate that they open at 1:00 pm. At this day and age, who doesn't keep their hours online up to date? The one time we made it, we waited in line for 20 mins. We showed up at the cashier to order. She said food prep would take 60 mins. ?!?!? If that's the case, why make people wait in line without giving them a warning? My conclusion is that this place counts on their beautiful location but they don't prioritize customer experience. I feel disrespected as a customer. Never again. read more

This place is down an alley right next to Wayfair - you might miss it if you miss the sand which sign which we did... anyway. Super friendly. Great sandwiches. What I like the most is that they cut up the chicken and bacon (we had chicken Sammy on potato bun, BLT wrap and chicken wrap) into bite sized pieces. Lots of flavor. The place was shiny and clean. Huge on the lake where things start to feel a bit dingy. Outside seating is lovely. Some Adirondack chairs and a cool cut out boat turned into seating around a fire pit. Looks like you can dock your boat and get carry out or eat in. This is a gem. Check it out! read more

It is on Lake Union, just east of Westward (which also has great outdoor dining), but it's pretty well hidden and very easy to miss. They have heaters, a screened off patio (screen not plastic so good airflow), they even have blankets! And it's right on Lake Union, so the view is amazing. You should go.

Oh, and a vodka lemonade - you can get cocktails delivered via DoorDash! Everything was super good, especially the chili cheese dog. They were really generous with the chili (a full cup of it) and it was delicious. The lemonade is made from scratch and I really enjoyed that, as well - not too sweet. When we did takeout, we each got a sandwich, and we also got a Chicago dog, "chum bucket" w/ tots, and a handful of cocktails. I'd had kind of a bad week and was basically like, I don't even care, let's just get whatever we want even if it's an insane amount of stuff, haha. They do single serving craft cocktails for takeout in little cans, which is pretty cool. And they were SO GOOD (all with very clever nautical-themed names). I think our favorite was the "No Ship Sherlock" seasonal Moscow mule. The Chicago dog was amazing - based on this and my previous chili cheese dog, I can say without hesitation that their hotdogs are 100% 10/10. The "chum bucket" tots were also really good, and again came with a very generous full cup of chili. I hate to say it because everything else was so good, but the sandwiches were pretty disappointing for the price, we both thought. I had a tuna sandwich and my bf had a veggie sandwich. They used fresh, quality ingredients, but both sandwiches were kind of bland, and a lot smaller than we were expecting for $14 apiece. That's the only reason I dropped a star, but aside from that, they are 5 star all the way. So, we would not revisit the sandwiches, but hotdogs and cocktails HELL YES YES YES!! Anything involving the chili is also highly recommended. And although I didn't really go into detail about it, chicken tenders were good, too (there were more in there than what the photo shows) - crispy and well-seasoned, and more than what I was expecting.

I got the breakfast burrito and added pulled pork which definitely is the way to go, I could've eaten 5 they were so good. The chicken and waffles is also really good, the perfect balance between sweet and savory, crunchy and chewy. These guys really know what they are doing 100% worth a stop. you can also walk down to gasworks park after enjoying the food! The workers are so nice and helpful as well, definitely stop if you're a local or just visiting Seattle for great food, great vibes and great views!

I had not eaten yet and tiny samples of chocolate was not going to silence my growling stomach at 230pm! I walked in and there was a sizable crowd in line and also seated throughout the cafe. Judging from the laptop crowd, there must be decent available WiFi connection. The posted menus offered a nice variety of food, beverages, and snack items. The staff were really upbeat and welcoming: from the person who rang up my order, another person who crafted my 12oz mocha, and the two folks working the kitchen line. Pretty efficient team working in tandem because the line moved in reasonable time. In addition to my 12oz mocha, I also ordered the Cuban Sandwich, which also came with a side salad. I appreciated the care given to both items - nice latte art, well composed tasty salad (fresh greens, bright vinaigrette, and sunflower seeds), and quite the mammoth, generously filled with roasted pulled pork, ham, melty Swiss cheese, pickle, and mustard. The sandwich was perfected toasted via plancha or on the flat top. Half of it, the salad, and the mocha were all on point. The other half I brought home and was devoured by The Homie. It was also deemed delicious. Glad for the spontaneous detour and revisiting this gem of a spot along Stone Way N.

In a city where halal wasn't recognized 20 years ago, Aladdin was providing quality meats for hungry college students at UW. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about both locations. The food is inexpensive, you get full, their gyros are delicious, and stand out amongst the many other gyro places that are now closed down. The location up North on the Ave stood out to me. There is a staff that took the time to remake my chicken gyro. He gave me the other one for free and explained how Aladdin's uses quality meats and not the Kronos chicken gyro brand that is full of junk and additives. He made my gyro personally and we had a nice 30 minute conversation about life and UW. I miss this type of non transactional experiences. The other Aladdin location makes some great fool and house made soups. I would highly recommend and they are always busy. A great post, bar place to go on a Friday night. Please support local.

Out of many visits, I think I've gotten food poisoning once before which was not fun, but the food is good value and delicious, so I kept coming back. Fast, relaxed service with self serve utensils.

Would personally go elsewhere for banh mi primarily due to cost. They taste great but might as well get a bowl.
