Notice that they are pushing cheaper rock fish and I am sure that other things have changed. I don't know why new ownership thinks it is a good idea to raise the prices and give you less It was always overpriced but the food was good. $30 to get the tacos and chowder that we used to get before and almost $40 for the all you can eat.

This classic, no-frills spot carries a nostalgic charm, with a casual, welcoming atmosphere that makes it feel like a staple of the community. It's the kind of place where the focus isn't on trends or presentation, but on delivering satisfying, flavorful food that keeps people coming back. The Hamburger perfectly captures that philosophy. It's simple--nothing overly dressed up or complicated--but that's exactly what makes it shine. The patty is cooked well, with a satisfying sear that brings out the natural flavor of the beef, while the bun and toppings complement rather than overwhelm. Every bite feels balanced, familiar, and genuinely delicious, like a reminder of how good a straightforward burger can be when it's done right. The California Burger steps things up with a more layered flavor profile. The meat is cooked just right--juicy, tender, and full of flavor--and paired with fresh toppings that add both texture and brightness. There's a satisfying richness to it, but it never feels too heavy. Each component works together seamlessly, creating a burger that feels indulgent without losing that classic drive-in appeal. Another standout is the Onion Burger, which might be the most memorable of the bunch. The patty is cooked to a juicy perfection, locking in flavor with every bite. What truly elevates it, though, are the caramelized onions. They're soft, slightly sweet, and deeply savory, blending into the burger in a way that feels effortless. The combination of the rich beef and the perfectly cooked onions creates a harmony that's hard to beat. Not everything hits the same high note, however. The Calamari Rings were a bit of a letdown. There was a slightly off-putting seafood smell that took away from the experience, and the breading felt excessive--so much so that it would fall off easily. On top of that, they leaned a bit too greasy, making them heavier than expected and lacking the crisp, clean bite that good calamari should have. Despite that one misstep, The Family Drive-In excels where it matters most. It delivers consistently great burgers that highlight quality, simplicity, and flavor. For anyone craving a classic drive-in experience with satisfying, well-executed burgers, this spot is an easy recommendation and well worth the visit.

I decided to try the two-piece fish and chips and was pretty well blown away. The fish filets, as you can see in the picture, were generous (MUCH bigger than those at Ivar's in Burien) and came out piping hot. Served with ketchup and tartar sauce but, disappointingly, no malt vinegar. Also, they could have drained the fish a bit longer after pulling the filets from the (canola) oil, as the second filet was still dripping a bit of oil. My server was very attentive. Once she seated me, she immediately brought a glass of water and a sample of the Mango Lasi, a blend of mango and yoghurt. Just the thing to cut the heat if your palate gets a little overwhelmed by some of the spicier dishes. The owners did a GREAT job with the physical plant. The room is bright and clean and bears ZERO resemblance to the old Jack's Country Restaurant. This room is warm and inviting. Bollywood programs play on the TV, adding to the atmosphere. There are a lot of dishes on the menu beyond my basic fish and chips, but if my lunch was any indication, it will all be good. I'm eager to make a return visit!

They could nit be more correct but then they also should showcase their great staff of management and servers too. I actually had never been here before but now I will eat here every chance I get. To start, the restaurant is nautically beautiful inside and they have a wonderful bar area. There are tables inside and outside for dining and there are both booths and tables to choose from inside. Jenny was working the bar on the inside and she has the best personality. After our drinks were served, she engaged us in a little conversation and set us up with some settings and fresh baked bread. Off to a great start, we looked to see what the other bar patrons were ordering because everything smelled so good. For my happy hour, there was a discount on the bar drinks which was great. The appetizer choices from the menu were wonderful and they too had a small discount. We started our food sampling with an order of Dungeness Crabby Deviled Eggs. They were perfectly prepared and although there was not an overabundance of Dungeness crab on them, they were tasty and healthy. We got talked into an order of their crab Un-cakes from the guy sitting next to us and we were happy that we engaged in a conversation about them. They were purely crab and the zesty lime aioli was paired well for flavor. I added a few dashes of hot sauce to kick it up a notch. We finished off with the New England style clam chowder with nitrite-free bacon. It was creamy and seasoned well. They are correct in advertising that they have the best chowder because they were telling the truth. Service was great, the decor is so pretty and the whole experience was very enjoyable.

Introduction: I got…read morethe Yelp email asking if I tried Lucky Louie, so since I'm currently doing the America 250 series of American established restaurants. I'm going geographically east to west across the US with some states represented and is ending with CA, OR, & WA in that order. But I'll go out of geographic order with a bonus 2nd Washington state established restaurant for Lucky Louie. The original Washington state pick will be a chain place in Columbia, MD about 10 miles from my home. Experience with Lucky Louie: Just last week my girlfriend & I had a trip to Seattle & Vancouver, BC. We arrived at SeaTac airport on time. Our hotel was near the airport. We decided to eat in the airport before leaving security as options were somewhat limited like Denny's, Jack in the Box, McDonald's, etc. We wanted something that might be better here and/or hard to come by near home in Maryland. We walked around the airport and considered Lucky Louie as a strong maybe, but we wanted to see what was out there. We walked up to a Poke place, which was a consideration, but it looked weak, and some other various possibilities. Ultimately, we decided to go to that central area in the airport and go with Lucky Louie. We were pretty hungry after long flight and spending a bit of time walking around (as I needed to get a walk in since I was sitting on phone for 5 hours) to determine what to eat. We decided to split the clam strips for $6.99, which were fried & delicious. I was a bit unsure about how good these would be. But this well exceeded expectations. My girlfriend already knew she loved clam strips, and even said this was amongst the best she's had. We decided to get 3-piece Alaskan pollock each, which is a fish & chips. Fries were solid, but wow the Alaskan pollock was excellent. They also had Wild Salmon strips, but it was a good about $6 price differential. We both decided it wasn't worth it. Salmon is one common thing I make at home for dinner; so I never get out. Granted this was wild salmon, which is a little different, but I figured the Alaskan pollock would be a good choice and not something I could get at home/out in Maryland; maybe some restaurant has locally, but I've never noticed it. This was an excellent meal and a must try for people going to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Cashier was nice too. We definitely had some great meals on the trip, but it was a bit downhill after that. Lucky Louie was the single best meal/food experience we had on the trip. We had some other 5-star meals, but some service issues at the excellent food places that in a couple of cases might lower to 4-star even if food is a 5. Interesting Side Notes: Lucky Louie was specific fishing lure from the mid 20th century made in Washington. Before going through security to fly back home, I glanced at the wall, where it mentioned musicians from each decade. For the 1950's, it mentioned the Kingsmen smash hit "Louie Louie". Although the song was a #2 hit in 1963; it was a cover of a 1957 song by Richard Berry, who performed in the Seattle-Tacoma area and was a local hit song. Further, in 1985 there was an effort to replace Washington state's song to "Louie Louie", which failed but was an interesting effort. Not sure if the song was perhaps a secondary meaning of the restaurant's name song in addition to the fishing lure brand.
