This place has gone downhill. Food is not as good or as plentiful as it once was (read small portions). Now days they really try to nickel and dime you for everything little thing and they are sneaky about it too. For instance, when ordering a burger and fries they enthusiastically ask you if you would like anything to dip the fries in; what they don't tell you is they are going to charge you extra for that. That's right, an extra charge for mayo. This is unacceptable and is not the norm for most other restaurants. But this sneaky charge is their daily practice. I have personally seen this many times and now only use the ketchup on the table. At no point do they disclose the extra charge but yet they ask every time if you want dipping sauce which is just dishonest and certainly not hospitable for a business in the hospitality industry. On my last and final visit to this Buzz Inn my guest did ask for mayo for their fries and they even charged us for the mayo, but it never made it to the table. We assumed since it did not show up, we would not be charged but they did in fact charge for mayo that never arrived. They also charge a transaction fee if you use a credit card which is just not acceptable in todays day and age. Should we also pay an electric fee, or maybe a garbage fee, or dish fee? Or maybe perhaps the owner should pay their own bills?? I look forward to the new restaurant that will take over this space when this Buzz Inn location closes in 2027 as they don't get along with their landlords either. The ladies that work at this location are just downright mean to their customers. There is definitely a us (staff) versus them (guest) mentality. I have overheard the staff speak very negatively to and about the guest and other coworkers. After my last trip here, I am done and will not be back, after many, many years of going here. read more

Haven't been here for a few year, but this used to be a real good restaurant. Stopped in for late lunch today. I had a rubin sandwich and my wife had a club sandwich. She almost couln't eat her sandwich. I wish I hadn't eaten mine. A good rubin is piled with beef. This barely had a couple of slices on it and they looked like they came from a package at Safeway. We will never go back. It is just too bad. As I said, it used to be one of my favorite restaurants. read more

This is my 4th or 5th time dining here, with most of that during breakfast. Honestly it's just extremely overpriced bland food. Not terrible but only worth the specials. It's typically been pretty good service. But today, I waited 50 minutes for a waffle and a piece of chicken.... I had to walk up to the bar to get a refill on coffee. I dislike that you have to tip before you even get service. read more

Just had an amazing breakfast/lunch with a great view of the airplanes! Drinks were amazing, I recommend the Bloody Mary. Food was good. Chicken fried steak, French dip and kids menu chicken strips and fries. All good. Not sure why people complain about ordering at the front. It's not a new concept lol! This place is better than 2.5 stars. read more

Myself and 14 friends had an event to attend at noon last Sunday, so we decided to get breakfast beforehand. I called the Buzz Inn a few days before and gave them a "heads up" that we'd be there - although they don't take reservations. When we got there at 10:00 a.m., they had a table completely set up for us! After everyone got there we ordered our food and it was out so fast it was literally amazing. We were all asking "how'd they do that?" To top it off, breakfast was excellent. Is it the Four Seasons? No. Do you want a solid breakfast fast for a great price? This is the right place for it. Thanks for making our event go off perfectly! read more

Terrible experience at Buzz Inn Steakhouse in Snohomish. It took forever to get served and I was double charged for a Ranch Water drink at $21.00. It was house tequila ... and tasted terrible. I think it was just 2 shots of house tequila and soda water. I initially called and they said they would refund the double charge but never did. I called back today and now she told me that's what they cost, despite what I was told and what's on their menu and website. It should have been $10.50, not $21.00! I won't be going back there!! Of course we were in a hurry so I didn't check the receipt until after we left (attached). I do NOT recommend this place read more

Best fish n chips! Love this place! You can call ahead to order for pick up or eat on the premises.

My daughter loves the little park and watching the planes. I don't understand the order at the counter biz model but it's not a big deal. The food is the biggest issue here. Everything is so bland. Somehow the fried eggs are watery? Location = great, service = fine, food terrible. read more

A little disappointed with my breakfast this morning. I ordered the Logger Special. Noticed the price had increased again. My fried eggs were cooked perfectly and were so delicious however I only received 2 eggs. Maybe I am wrong but I thought the menu mentioned 3 eggs. Also I ordered all bacon instead of bacon, sausage, and ham. Only received 3 shriveled up pieces of charred bacon. I was hoping to get a couple more slices of bacon to make up not getting the sausage and ham. The country fried potatoes were hot and very good plus a good amount. Now that I think of it, I being very picky. I'm old and should be thankful for having a nice place to hangout. The staff is very friendly and service is good. read more

Honestly, this was one of the worst meals I've had in recent memory. I fully regret coming here. We stopped here on a whim when we couldn't find parking in downtown Snohomish. These guys have a spacious parking lot! I probably ordered wrong - I wasn't very hungry so I ordered a bowl of chili. I have no doubt that this bowl of chili, which cost around $10 plus tax and tip, was just a can of Nalley's. Long wait to order at the counter, and for some reason my microwaved chili took a good 25 minutes to arrive. Restaurant is dirty and service is indifferent. Never again. read more

Wish I could leave a negative star review. Came in and waited by the counter. Two employees walked past. One smiled but neither said anything. The one that didn't say anything went back in the kitchen and then came out on her phone. After waiting for about 5 minutes with no greeting or anyone even speaking to us we left. The people behind me were greeted so clearly they looked in our direction. Completely rude and we wont be back. read more

We were seated immediately towards the back near the bar. There was buckets for water dripping from the ceiling on tables and the floor. Definitely dated and needs some up keep. The service was nice and they checked in with us throughout our meal. My food was surprisingly really good....The chicken burger with mushrooms and bacon was perfect. The bacon wrapped prawns were also done well. Great for groups of people who aren't looking for anything fancy, but a decent meal with a fair price tag. read more

I rode in with a group of five. We all got breakfast. The two veterans in our group got 15% off. Service was good. My biscuits and gravy were extremely bland with almost no visible sausage. We enjoyed watching the skydivers and the aircraft landing and taking off. read more

Was very disappointed in the food during my Mom's birthday dinner. Unfortunate to see how much this place has gone down in terms of quality over the years, but maybe it was just the kid taste buds growing up eating there. Swear it used to be great though. I ordered the "Chicken Fajita" but ended up with a taco bowl looking dish with what looked and tasted like pre-grilled lightly seasoned reheated chicken. lol. My girlfriend ordered the bbq mac and cheese but it was so soaked in oil that it was completely unedible. My little sister ordered the New York Steak (most expensive item on the menu btw) and when I asked to try it, I was met with the taste AND texture of cheap and unseasoned hamburger meat! Service was great, our server was very nice and tried her best to make our experience better. I understand this may not be entirely on the chefs but at least reheat my chicken all the way next time. I have a stomach ache now. Also, $108 for that trash is criminal. Finally, whoever's in charge of the way food is prepared and the ingredients it's prepared with; GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! edit: After reading more reviews it's obvious whoever's in the kitchen is also horrible. Please get a new cook! This one doesn't care! 1 star for service, 1 star for decently clean bathrooms (especially for a bar) read more

Fee for everything. Mayo, sides for potato, transaction fee. Food is not that great. Burger patties taste frozen and tough.

This is one of my favorite breakfast places in the North end of the Seattle metro region. It's not fancy, but the food (and value) is great, the service friendly, and you get to sit next to an airport taxiway watching small aircraft and skydivers doing their thing. You can't go wrong with this place at any time of day, come give it a try. read more

The location can't be beat if you are a general aviation nut. The breakfast is good, fries are good, but don't expect wow from anything here, just solidly typical airport food. read more

First the positive. We are very happy that the Buzz Inn Snohomish location will be open for another year. It's one of the inly restaurants that caters to the locals. So much of Snohomish has been lost to long time residents. Second positive. Service is always really, really good whether it be in the restaurant or lounge. Needs improvement: We hope if there is a new manager that they can make sure the new kitchen staff is trained properly and quality controls adhered to. Today's breakfast was an under cooked , margarine soaked mess. Please I'm begging to do a 5 star review! read more

This Buzz Inn location is a central meeting spot with our friends. This location has the largest parking lot and outdoor seating area by far than any other location I've been to. The lounge is a decent size and gets packed during football season. The nice thing about Buzz Inn is that you know exactly how your Bloody Mary's and food will taste regardless of the location. Buzz Inn has standard operating procedures down. On this visit I ordered the BLT Sandwich with a cup of Clam Chowder for $9.99. The bread was think and nicely toasted. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and firm. The bacon was generous (4 slices) and crispy. Delish sandwich. The chowder was hearty but could have been served at a hotter temperature. Our server was friendly and efficient. read more

Buzz Inn Steakhouse - BLT Sandwich w/ a cup of Clam Chowder for $9.99. - Steakhouses Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

As others have stated, this location is pretty disorganized. I think the issue is that they are having trouble getting folks to work here. You have to order at the counter and then seat yourself . Get your own water, coffee, etc. They only bring food to the table, at least on the patio. Food is decent for diner food. The patio is actually nice, at least in good weather. Breezy with a view of the local airport. Patio allows dogs and wait staff is very friendly towards dogs. read more

This is my review for myself and my dog. She is not computer literate but she likes people food over purina. Not this time. Worst meal Ihave had in a decade. How do I know this? I know this because I have never gotten to my ketboard so swiftly to write a review. Chicken fried steak with two sides. mashed potatoes and hash browns. unusual yes but I like potatoes. Order was to go. did not check order before I left. no mashed potatoes. Steak damn near inedible. It was so thin I could have set the point gap on a chevy distributor. Dog got half the meal, and ate the purina first. Buzz inn is now buzz out for me. never agai my bad found the mashed spuds but the food was still awful read more

Good food, horrible service jk not that bad of service. The lady is kind of rude though. she absolutely doesn't smile. Also apparently you can't get alcohol with a vertical id. We asked why and she said "we have signs posted about it." We asked her to show us and absolutely no sign about it. She then says "look it up on Washington liquor law" we looked it up and we couldn't find a single thing about it. At this point they are making up their own rules, or the lady simply doesn't want to serve it. She's got red hair, she probably hates her job. Maybe don't work within customer service if you can't be polite to the customers? Just my thoughts. Anyways don't go here for a drink if you have a vertical Id and or OVER 21. The service is also pretty slow here. And the atmosphere is pretty dark. Food bomb asf tho read more

order a burger and got a Salisbury steak patty instead, of a real beef patty. all I need is gravy and I be having a tv dinner ! refuse to let me order something else and says that's is the way the burgers are that is a lie I have had 1000 burgers and never had this garbage read more

Not sure why the low star rating for Buzz Inn. We've always had great service and location is fab with tons of parking. Where else can you sit on a giant covered patio and watch planes take off and skydivers land?! I rest my case. I'm always up for some good alliteration so being able to order a Big Bodhi Beer is a plus too (it's my go-to IPA). Totally family friendly which is also a win! All day breakfast? SIGN ME UP! I've only been for brunch where you order at the counter, but heard dinner you get full service at the table. I'm a frazzled mess for any walk up ordering situations especially with extensive menus. Otherwise you do get the full service all day: food brought to you, attentive service and removal of plates etc. versus waiting until the party is gone. Pro Tip: any time the Mariners have a televised home game, you can get a Coors Light and a hot dog for $5 (and avoid Seattle traffic ;) ). read more

The service was extremely slow. I asked for a sandwich: with no onions or tomatoes, extra pickles, side of onion rings with ranch dressing and an ice tea. They forgot the: pickles , ice tea and the ranch dressing. Plus they didn't leave off the onions and tomatoes. read more

Oops, was at the bar at the front, not the back so that made me invisible. No "hey hi hello" we won't serve you here even though we sit there during the week for happy hour. Unfriendly weekend staff-not even busy so no excuse.. Weekday staff is great. Walked out. We'll take your tip revenue somewhere else this football season. read more

What a great place to watch small planes take off and land and skydivers float down from the sky under canopy. Oh yeah, there are train tracks feet from the parking lot. Buzz Inn has a old timey sports bar feel. Plenty of space inside and out.There is a nice patio right off the plane parking area and you get a ringside seat to watch the airplane activities. We didn't order drinks, but there is a large bar that looks well stocked. Yes, it could use a remodel, but we liked the comfy feel of the place. As tourists, we felt very welcomed. Our servers were attentive and friendly. Everyone was wearing masks properly and seemed to be Covid-careful. The burger was better than most and the fries were the best we had on our trip. An added perk is, that while parking in downtown Snohomish during lunchtime is difficult, the Buzz Inn parking lot had lots of open spaces. read more

Service was good, a little slow due to volume of customers. Food ok with the exception of one of our 3 steaks. Could not even cut through it let alone chew it. Ask for a replacement and was told we would have to pay for it. It truly was uneatable. They did give us 10% off, whi h we got anyway because of our military discount. The waitress apologized, but her hands were tied. Manager not available. At least our dog enjoyed it since he just swallowed it with out chewing it... Will probably not go back to Ellensburg Buzz Inn. read more

Great food, the service was really awesome and the staff is always in a good mood. I also love how you can be seated outside and watch the skydivers! read more

Staff was rude and abrupt. Waited inside at the front register for over five minutes and no one showed up. We then walked out to the patio hoping someone could seat us and we were scolded twice for going out there and told can't you read the signs that say wait to be seated. We did not see a sign, we also never saw one person willing to make eye contact or seat us. The food was good but the treatment was horrible. Won't be back read more

It's an airport diner. What are you expecting? Enough of these 1 star reviews. I had a bacon blue burger and beer. Even though I came in right at the end of happy hour she honored the HH price. That's awesome. The burger was fine. The fries were fine. I. Could have had more (bottomless fries) but I didn't need more. The burger had plenty of blue cheese, great bacon and all the fixings you want. No complaints. Is it a gourmet burger? No. It's a airport diner burger. A perfect place for the "$100 hamburger" The steaks I saw looked good also. Huge outdoor deck. Maybe a skydiver will land on your head. Watch out. Plenty of Cessnas and various other small planes to watch. This place has everything you want for an airport diner. Have fun. read more

Although I am glad they were open they were certainly disorganized. No clear information whether you were to seat yourself? Where to order? How to buy coffee or a soda? Who to ask? Very disjointed! The restaurant does not have good ventilation. I would have appreciated the doors being opened. The outside dining was very non inviting and could use heaters as well. As for the food the best thing was the cup of coffee. The Tsunami although sounded good was swimming in grease. One meal was served without cheese and they had to bring us a container to sprinkle on top. It's diner food at a premium price! I expect more when I pay $14 for eggs and potatoes. While the employees were upbeat, I was disappointed with their cleanliness, organization and delivery. Unfortunately I can't say I will be back. read more

If you want to go to a restaurant and order your food at the counter like McDonald's go to the Buzz Inn at Snohomish airport, there is no waiter service, they are rude, they give you burnt toast, when you walk up the handy cap ramp there are rat holes along the building foundation wall, will never go back. read more

Well 6 yrs ago I came here at least 4 times a week. It was amazing then.thats when Laurie and marion were in charge. Now I come every 3 months and the place sucks to be honest. Came in tonight had to get my own menu and ask for napkins when me and only one other person in the bar.left the worst tip I've ever left.this place has gone to shit.i guess you got plenty of money now So y would you want to hire the amazing ladies you had before. The most common mistake restaurant owners make is forgetting what made them great before. read more

Buzz Inn Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

Wow, I guess YMMV with this place. I know I visited this place since it's close to where we live w/o Yelping first and my experience has been pretty good. Enough that I've been back for repeat business with the same experience each time. Basically I take it for what it is. It's not the Metropolitan Grill or Daniel's, it's The Buzz Inn Steakhouse in Snohomish near the local airport and farms. That being said, my impressions of customer service were pretty good. One, everytime I've been, the place always seems busy but we were always seated promptly and served just as prompt, with regular follow ups and fill ups by the wait staff. I've gotten a lot less...way less...from places like Diamond Knot Brewery just to name one...Melting Pot in Bellevue to name another. Two, food, well, they don't serve Kobe beef, but when I'm in the mood for a reasonably priced and well prepared steak, their rib-eye (FYI in my Ruth Chris Review I mentioned Buzz-Inn not having Rib-eye, but they do-my mistake-AND it's a thicker cut than the afore mentioned) does the job and it's pretty damn good! Tender and they prepared the way I asked, almost a perfect medium rate...unlike say, Ruth Chris SteakHouse where, despite the uppity atmosphere I paid twice the price for a so-so cut of steak that was over cooked (no clue what medium-rare is)...just to name one. But whether we've been at the Buzz-Inn for dinner or breakfast (love that here too), the portions are pretty decent and I never walk away hungry. It's definitely a local hang, but the ones I've ran into seem friendly and definitely add character to both the restaurant and bar as does the Airplane themed decor. Just glad that I didn't Yelp this place before going or else I might not have ever gone based on reviews alone. I guess sometimes it's good to just give a place a go and be your own judge. read more
