    The Bowrider Burger
    Wendy M.

    Everything was perfect, not only the weather and views, but the service, juicy burger, delicious salad, great beverage selection!

    Chips and salsa
    Christen G.

    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

    Great food! Great atmosphere with the lake in the background and my favorite SkyKraken Hazy IPA on tap.

    View from seating area.

    Great view, great music playing, and great food. Had the fish wrap which had a nice sauce with pineapple, etc. BBQ sandwich was not very filling. Fish sandwich was just okay. Local root beer on tap was good.

    Great ambiance and hot dog was perfect. Paired with the wine and beer that they had to offer as well.

    A gorgeous view!

    The steak tacos are delicious. The view is beautiful. The service was friendly. A great location for a restaurant.

    Beautiful view and great wine!

    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!!

    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! Thanks for your kind service.

    I came across Bowriders Grill when I was searching for a spot with a view to enjoy the perfect weather we had today and I'm so glad I discovered it! This place is a vibe, from the view to the music and the smell of bbq, all three of us loved it! Great spot to grab a drink + food and enjoy the view. Also, if you have a boat you can dock right in front and tie up your boat! Looking forward to coming back!

    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.

    The food and ambience was great. However would suggest some change in music thay was playing. Maybe some chill lounge due to the view.

The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not asking too much. I believe the owner said he was trying to revamp the place. I hope that the area comes alive in the future years, that should help. Here's the issue though, this is the slowest spot ever. I've waited 30 minutes for fries - FRIES. I don't mind waiting for food, but it should remain reasonable. There were only two or three people working, and one man did tell us this, but I need to be honest - this was on Super Bowl Sunday. No one was able to get anyone a beer from the tap for 40 minutes, the food took forever and it appeared that online orders were being prioritized (which makes sense, you make as you get orders coming in, but that puts your in person customers in an odd and sometimes frustrating position). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I just had some fries to snack on. I didn't mind as much this one time because I was just happy to find a place to watch the Super Bowl Half Time show, but other days, it's a little hard to look past. I wish this business the best, I live too close to not hope for its improvement! Looking forward to updating my review. At the end of the day, if you're hungry, it's late, this is your spot.

There was no garlic at all, but what I did get was a pretty large appetizer that did its job and more. The main dish, the hotstone beef bibimbap, was a lot worse. Firstly, this came with ground beef rather than the beef slices I was expecting. The rice at the bottom was dry like it should be in a clay pot, but lacking really any of that slightly-burnt, hard qualities that makes a clay pot rice what it is. It just tasted dry. But the ground beef was probably the worst part. It was dry, lacking in really any seasoning, and the portion was tiny. I'd finished the beef with still half the bowl remaining. This was not a bibimbap I would come back to at all. Overall, there are way too many better places in the international district for me to ever recommend this. 5/10

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 only complaint is that the burger was a bit too salty. Service: It was mid. They messed up on our orders and instead of replacing it, she just walked away. They ask for tips which is odd because you have to go to the counter and order and clean the table yourself. They only bring the food and I'm guessing that has more to do with the lack of space. A tip shouldn't be asked. Also when we ordered, we didn't know thy would bring out the meal so we stood inside for a while. They don't take your name or give you a buzzer so I'm not sure how they can keep track. Lastly, it took a while for us to get our food. It wasn't that busy but it looked like there was only one cook. Ambiance: the inside is TINY but it's a vibe. It's small and oddly shaped but the ceilings are high and it's sort of an industrial open concept. They have a small seating outside and a bigger patio seating on the side street. Napkins, utensils and ketchup are all the table which makes it easier. But the place gets packed so you might not even get a seat. Overall: I'd go back because the burgers were that good. But it's not going to be my go-to spot mainly because of the service.
