Went there as tourists, food was good, service during dining was good, the problem arose at the end: Went there as a large group of ca. 25 people and as we wanted to pay seperately, as the first guest wanted to leave, we were told, the bill couldn't be split amongst us individually. The manager told us "This should have been told to you as you entered." But it wasn't, and there was also no understanding, that nobody wanted to solo pay almost $1000 for everyone, especially since only a couple people wanted to go. After discussion one person gave in and paid the whole tab and the entire group left. None of us came or will come back again. Too bad. The ambiance was nice, the food was tasty, but not showing any understanding, after the mistake was on the side of the restaurtant, as they did not inform us about this policy, shows a lack in customer service. Nobody was being entitled, we just wanted seperate checks at the end... read more

Wasn't expecting this place to be one of the highlights of my Seattle trip, but it absolutely was. The kitchen was moving--the food came out crazy fast, hot, fresh, and done right. I had the Bacon & Bleu Burger and my wife went with the four mini pies, and we both cleaned our plates. Service was quick, the food was legit, and the whole experience was solid. Of all the places we tried, this one stood out. read more

I was downtown for an appointment and came upon this place because I needed an ATM to tip at my appointment, so I came back afterwards! Lots of choices for seating and a lot of TVs for sports watching. The food was tasty! read more

Elephant & Castle - Shepherd's Pie w/Sweet Potato Fries - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

These guys were popping. I'm sure it's because they're one of the few places open late. I got the cheese toastie which was like a grilled cheese, with prosciutto along with some garlic cheese spread, onions, & creamy dijon. Upon first bite, I couldnt taste the garlic as the Dijon overpowered it. I finished most of the fries, but could barely finish even one half of the sandwich due to how oily it was from all the butter on the bread. Service was good & quick. I'd want to come back & try something else as choosing this was kind of a last minute switched decision. read more

Pretty crowded for a Wednesday night, but I guess with the NBA finals on and FIFA, it was packed. It was quite noisy, and we had to wait a while before our server came to us. Once our order was taken, the food came out pretty quickly. We were both very hungry, but unfortunately, the food was unremarkable. My husband's chicken pot pie was "okay", and his side of sweet potato fries was terribly greasy, negatively affecting the taste. My citrus chicken salad was terrible. The grilled chicken itself was ok, nothing special, but it was filled with bland iceberg lettuce and not the romaine lettuce as stated on the menu, what tasted like stale cashews, bland crisp noodles ( out of a can I presume?), very little red onion and not enough mandarin oranges which more were needed to give this salad some life. I basically ate just the chicken and the mandarins. I asked for the two dressings on the side, and this is always my go to salad if I order one while out, but they were eh too. Maybe I'm coming down with something lol? Still very hungry, I looked at the menu in hopes of finding something else, but I really just wanted to leave. Too bad, my husband lived in England for a while and this place looked so great from the outside. Maybe they cut corners in the preparation to bring it out so fast?? read more

Ordered a burger with chips, hubby ordered the pot pie flight. For dessert we ordered the brownie. The food was delicious and the service was good, our server did get a bit busy for a bit and was unable to check on us. The food came out fast minus the brownie which seemed to take 15 min. It was good, 2 huge brownie pieces with a small portion of vanilla ice cream in the middle. The burger had a nice outer char in it which was nice. The pot pies were good but the chicken one did not have any chicken in it which was disappointing. The leek and cheesy potato one was my favorite, while the hubby really enjoyed the sherpards although it was a tad dry. read more

3 and half stars to 4 stars. Cool place, good food. First time trying poutine, so nothing to compare it to- however the gravy and curds were good. Ordered and fish and chips and fish was a decent size, nicely battered. The other members of my party ordered fish tacos and they complained about how little fish there was in the taco. Shepherds pie was ordered and was told it was good too. read more

We were staying at the hotel above the restaurant and our rooms were not ready so we stopped in for lunch. Place was jammed as there were world cup games on tv. Three of us ordered wings and two of us had salads. Fourth person shared with third wing person. Given how crowded the restaurant was, the food came out fairly quickly. Unfortunately the taste was a different matter. Buffalo wings were barely 'mild' and were not crispy. Side caesar was better. Louisiana style dry rub wings-flavor was skin deep only. Server was very friendly and the ambiance is what you would expect-English style pub with darts lots of wood paneling. The salads were better than the wings. read more

Elephant & Castle - Buffalo style wings and side caesar salad - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Have now visited Elephant and Castle twice, once in a small group and once with a large group. Both experiences were absolutely top notch. First, there is a great beer / wine selection. There were some bloody marys on the table and I'm told those were amazing. And of course, if the timing is right, they offer an outstanding Irish Coffee. All the food we tried was terrifice. We mostly ordered apps, particularly loved the buffalo sliders, fried pickles, and the wings. The wings are actually shockingly good for an English pub theme, much better than we expected! Service has been terrific each time. Just a nice group of people. The decor is consistent throughout, it really does feel like you're in an English pub in downtown Seattle. HIGHLY recommend, this is my favorite discovery in a long time. read more

Stopped by before a show at the 5th Ave Theatre in downtown Seattle. We had a resy for 5 of us so we were promptly seated. The place is a nice British pub and serves some good food. We ordered their french onion soup, chicken sliders, chicken wings with sweet potato fries. The food was good. Their guiness was top notch and had the perfect head. Service was good and the ambience is neat. All in all I will look forward to stopping by and watch some live sports here with friends. read more

I don't think I'd ever been to an E&C and was excited to check it out. It was okay overall. The staff were friendly and attentive. The open bar seating was fairly empty and cozy. My falafel wrap was just okay. The falafel itself was strangely ice cold which I discovered after scarfing down the first wrap, but it was busy around the restaurant and I wasn't in the mood to hang out much longer though the bartender did offer to fix it. I also didn't want to risk being given burnt or nuclear grade falafel if I sent it back. I wish they weren't so skimpy on the salad. It looked pretty sad. Not bad place overall, but definitely not my favorite. read more

Very good priced happy hour with a good selection of appetizers to choose from and $1 off all draft beer and wine. We got most of the appetizers and they were all really good. I was impressed by the size and flavor of each of them. I never had pickles chips in the shape of long thin fries before, but gotta say this shape is a winner. The pickles were not too tangy and salty, which some pickles chips can be and also a major turnoff for me. The sauce they made to go with it had some pickles bits in it too that upped the flavor and meshed really well. The sausage rolls I had here were some of the best I've had, though I admit I've only had a few in my life. The sauce it came with was very tasty too, a little sweet and smoky. I mopped it up lol. There was a football game when we went and the server was considerare to ask if we wanted to watch. We got placed at a comfortable table and got to watch the game most of the evening. Server and host were both nice and attentive. Space is cool and looks and feels like a pretty legit British pub, including where you go downstairs to enter! Very good HH and game watching experience. read more

My friend and I were in the area and wanted to give this place a try since we were hungry and it was one of the only late-night options nearby. There were multiple levels of seating options as well as indoor and outdoor seats available, though we sat inside since the patios were full. It was quite warm inside! We had a new server at the time who was trying her best to navigate the process with us and answer our questions but we could tell she was either VERY new or received little training before waiting tables on her own. I ordered the wee pie flight but she came back from the kitchen to let me know it was sold out, so I had to choose an alternative, which was the fish and chips. The food was good, not the greatest but decent for a late night pub vibe. The serving of fish was a good size, and if you weren't starving you could probably split this with someone or get an extra piece of fish and split the fries. We also got the highland bread pudding for dessert which wasn't bad either - nice and moist and satisfied the sweet tooth (even if we were ridiculously full after). read more

Got lunch here and it was great! bartender was super nice. I ordered wings and my coworker got fries if I remember correctly. A lot of people were here I assume on lunch as well. I love the location and it was a short walk from our office. I'm sure I'll be back since I only work at this location on Wed. The space is pretty large and could host large parties if needed. read more

We have visited Elephant & Castle a few times now on our visits to Seattle. On this visit we managed to be in town on the last Sunday in June which means Pride Parade! The restaurant was very busy with all of the outdoor tables being used on this gorgeous, sunny day! Our host was so much fun. We had interactions with him many times as he passed our table after seating another party. We had a few chuckles with his quick wit. My SO had the Sunday Roast again which of course was devoured. I went for the leek and potato pie with a side of salad. Plenty of cheese on top of that pie, big chunks of potato and a mellow onion taste. That salad is excellent, lightly dressed with lots of texture. They do 'pub' food right. The restaurant is always clean as are the restrooms. There is a baby changing station in both the ladies and men's room (I am told). Parking in nearby paid parking garages. This is Seattle after all. Staff keeps a good eye on you, even when they are super busy. They offer a fairly good selection of brews, wine and other adult beverages as well as coke products. read more

We were in town and we were looking for some place close to the hotel since we got there later in the day. We found Elephant and Castle. I am an English pub fan so loved the look as well walked up. We walked down to the host desk to see if we could get a table outside. There were a couple of tables so we were able to sit outside. We were given menus and waited for our waiter. He was quite busy but came over a few minutes later. I ordered the Old Fashioned and hubby ordered a beer. We also ordered the pretzel bites with dip and the fish and chips. Fish was cooked perfect and lived the Cole slaw. So much food. The drinks came out quickly. The food a little longer but it was pretty busy. Our waiter checked in with us often and brought another round of drinks. Visited the restroom which was clean and loved a couple of pictures there. Walking out I noticed a pool table in a lower level. read more

This place is really cool it's located literally below the Hilton Motif hire in the basement of the hotel. I love the size of the place it has a big bar and a lot of room. The waitress and bartenders I encountered were super super cool and explained alot of what was good as well as beer recommendations, I really enjoyed the IPA selection they had. The burger was amazing. I added a fried egg as well as jalapeño, and the pretzel bites with the beer cheese obviously was great. I will always stay at the Hilton Motif so I will definitely be back to this place! read more

We went for a very late dinner after a Mariners game. We were quite hungry, ordered as usual but did not realize British pub food is very hearty! So although the food was very delicious, by the end, we were stuffed beyond capacity. The best item was the flight of pies. Savory, crispy flaky pastry on some them, served piping hot. This was a very satisfying dish but best shared among a group. Very good service with our server (originally from Serbia, not Britain ;) making good suggestions. read more

The ambiance of this place was lively and had TVs with the game on which we enjoyed. Got a very classic burger and fries which was surprisingly delicious and more flavorful than some of the burgers I've had recently. This place also had gluten free options so we switched the bacon and blue cheese burger for a gluten free bread. My partner thought it was a pretty typical burger in a good way hahah, he usually likes the funkiness of the blue cheese to be stronger so it cuts through how rich the bacon and burger was but this one was like the slightest bit dull. read more

I love a good English pub because they have a good mix or bar and hardy favs. I ordered the fish and chips and it was absolutely delicious. The fish stayed crispy through me taking my time eating a salad and most of the French fries. The tartar sauce and blue cheese are really good. If I realized it came with a broccoli slaw, I would have skipped the side salad. The broccoli slaw was really good, but I was totally full by the time I got to it. Really good sized portion for the price. I would love to try other items on the menu. It was busy on a Saturday, my food still came out relatively quick. Wasn't a fan of my salad coming out with my entree, but the main was still hot and crispy when I got to it, so I wasn't too upset about it. read more

We really enjoyed the food here and our server Will was a gem. Shoutout to Will! It gave you the proper British pub feel ambiance as much as it can in downtown Seattle. They had several TVs with the game on and it was busy and crowded for a Wednesday night. The only negative we had was that it took a really long time to get our food. We had a 6pm res before a nearby 7:30 show and thought it would be plenty of time. We ordered around 6:10 and our mains arrived just before 7. Our server was working his hardest to get our food out in a timely manner so it seems like it was more a kitchen issue. We would like to come back again sometime when we aren't on a time crunch so we could enjoy our food more next time instead of scarfing. read more

A colleague found this hidden gem. We loved the vibe and felt it was very authentic! Side note: it's a hot spot when local games are on! The food was delicious and plentiful. We shared so I got to try a lot of dishes. Everything was delicious with the exception of the pretzels and beer cheese... it didn't taste like cheese! Our server was friendly enough and attentive. He was responsive to our needs given our tight timeline, which we appreciated. read more

This visit to Elephant & Castle was based on my many times at the location in Bellingham (Bellis Fair), when I lived and attended school in the area. That location closed so many years ago, Trying the Seattle location did not disappoint, as far as low-key, but a fun slightly hidden Pub. The server was attentive, and provided great service. The menu is your classic dishes from across the pond. I stayed with more traditional choices like wings, and a French dip. Both were fantastic. The dimly lit dining and bar areas provide the right setting for you'd expect for a great experience, This might not be a regular visit for me, as parking downtown can be a hassle, but I will be back. read more

I was shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya, to see that the good ol' Elephant & Castle of my youth is still alive and kicking in downtown Seattle. I was staying at a nearby hotel, and looking for some food before an event, so we popped on in for a beer and some bites. The place has literally not changed since I worked downtown in my 20s. It still has that pseudo English pub feel, and is a bit dark due to being in a basement. We sat near the window and grabbed a couple of pints, then split a chicken burger and their feta dip. The food was good, and they had a decent tap list. Prices were pretty high - although I feel like I'm saying that a lot these days. We weren't overly impressed with the speed of the service! The place was pretty empty while we were there, although as it got closer to quittin' time we did notice some work-looking groups coming in for happy hour. Parking is sheer hell (or at least incredibly expensive) so plan accordingly. read more

Great atmosphere and I want this place to do okay. Very charming basement pub atmosphere. But the Guinness tasted very bad! Not just a bad pour, but either a skunky old keg or skunky keg lines. I then ordered the french dip, which was horrible. Chewy, fatty, gristly chunks of old tasting beef. Despite the gristle, the taste was old. Tasted like I was eating two week leftovers. I tried a bite from each end of both halves of the sandwich and nothing was edible, let alone chewable. read more

Perfect spot to grab an app and a drink before an event. Staff is great, food is tasty and service is quick. We were seated right away despite it being a busy night. The interior is dark and cozy, warm on a raining evening. We were surrounded by all manner of patron, folks dressed up for the theater, in sports jerseys, on their way to or from the airport and dragging luggage behind them. The crisps were hot and delicious, and the dips were quite good as well! The cocktails were on point and I look forward to stopping in again. read more

Meh. I had very fond memories of E&C from my days in Chicago so I was excited to take my kiddos for some English pub food, especially the pretzel bites, which is a categorical favorite for my daughter.

Cool spot to grab a drink and food in the downtown area. They have generic American food and British food options to choose from. To start, we ordered the sausage bites.
