It was pretty empty when we went at 2:00. My breakfast was decent as was a friend's, but 2 people in our party ordered Rueben. They were awful. It was shredded pastrami, more resembled corned beef hash, hardly any sauerkraut, and one of the sandwiches was burnt. They kindly took it off our bill but said "Yeah, that's what happens when there is a shift change." Really mediocre. read more

Sunday, August 27th 2023: 2 buds and I stopped by here for brunch. Had a 10 minute wait, which is nothing to sneeze at on a Sunday in West Seattle. We had a good booth table and a nice waiter, Mika, I believe. He was a good server. I had the ham steak, eggs and red potatoes. I was surprised to see these potatoes are quite large and were fried. They were good but didn't have much flavor. But the ham steak had good flavor and nicely charred. Eggs over medium were cooked to perfection. The sourdough bread I chose for my toast was too hard tho so it did not get eaten. One bud had a cuban-infused eggs benedict over shredded pork and he said it was really good. That will be my go-to next time. Bud #2 had the biscuits and gravy and I tasted it and it was good but not great. So all in all I belive the prices were reasonable, the portions were good and the service was good. I woild go here again. read more

We *really* wanted to like this place, we live nearby. We gave it the good college try; three times! The food is terrible, the service slow, the interior design is a mess, and then they charge you a fortune for your bad time! Learn from our mistake and steer clear! read more

The passage of time (3+ years, including pandemic) has changed this place for the worse. The menu has shrunk, the rotating decor appears to have been discontinued, and the joie de vivre, as evidenced by wait staff, has evaporated. A sandwich is just a sandwich and a pickle. Want a side? Onion rings are 3 for $3.50, a medium pile of fries (many of them 1/2-1") is $3.50. The food is still very good, mostly, as long as what you want is on the menu. But it's no longer a "crowd pleaser" as I labeled it last time. Here's hoping it comes back around. read more

Nice place to grab brunch at n west Seattle. Most times on the weekend we've only had to wait 15min or so for a par of three. Selection is good with good variety. Their potato sides are delicious! Highly recommend! Service is friendly and would recommend this place. read more

Giving the extra star because the front door waitress was really nice and apologized for not being able to serve us, but without any acknowledgement of their short staff on instagram or twitter or who knows where else we have to check, they turned us away after walking almost an hour to eat here because they said they had a dog friendly patio just to find out that there was not enough staff to take care of us. Leaves a sour taste in your mouth tbh. I don't usually post reviews but this experience definitely didn't go as planned read more

It has been 8 years since my last visit. I guess I am less grumpy now, so giving them 3 stars. It's their New Orleans menus which is very nice. It will be replaced by the Puerto Rico menu in July. Their radically rotating menu is a marketing trap. While it keeps their offerings fresh, it can lead to lost customers when they do not execute well. It's hard to cover a wide breadth of cuisines. They lost me for 8 years from their poor Texas BBQ menu. I'll give them another shot sooner than later. Prices are high given the quality. It cost us 60 bucks for two adult meals, one Kid's and one desert. No drinks (soda or alcohol). read more

I went to breakfast with my brother today and was so disappointed!! I ordered the Cajun Benedict and asked for my eggs to be fried hard. They bring my brother's breakfast and a few minutes later bring mine, eggs poached. I sent it back and asked for eggs to be fried. The waitress comes back and it's the same dish I just returned. At this point my brother is just about done with his breakfast and I said never mind on my order. The waitress says I will have the cook make your order to go, so I agree. My order comes back in a to go box, and I just happen to look at it. The cook did nothing more than take off the poached eggs and slap a fried egg on top of the order and returned it to me with no Benedict sauce. Not very appealing. fresh Or professional!! They should have comped the whole meal for this much mess up but no,, my brother still had to pay. We go to breakfast ever weekend and try to support as many neighborhood restaurants as we can. We will not be going back to Endolyne Joes!! read more

Stopped by for a quick bite around 12 on Sunday. Short wait for a great table. Outside the restaurant they advertised fried chicken. Was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't available for lunch. Ordered a large Cobb salad. This arrived quickly and was filling tasty fresh lettuce, chicken, avocado, etc. this was lightly dressed and excellent. Perfect portion size. Loved the ambience of this long term neighborhood gem. Recommend. read more

Wow. Stop by midweek around 1:00 pm for a great lunch without the weekend crowds! Sit inside in the bar by the window or outside! Airy Cool and very hospitable environment for a great meal! Lamb Burger n Black Bean Burger to die fir with onion rings just like the old days of Benihana! Andddddd take-away Beignets in a bag...... I'll take odds on how many are left in the bag before you hit the doors! Jennifer at the bar was super and underneath that mask is a great smile! Wow! A very hip place! read more

Brunch is lovely. I enjoyed a Brazilian Egg Benedict that was wonderful. My husband's regular Benny was mediocre. The Bloody Mary was bland and watery. Service was friendly but slow. It's a nice place to pop by if you have time to relax. read more

Tried it, and my fish tacos were amazing. There were so many flavors in there that all complemented each other perfectly. My companion was not as impressed with her meal. We will definitely go again, but she will try something different next time. read more

It's such a bummer to post this. We found this place when we moved to west Seattle from the NYC area 10 yrs ago. Their theme at the time was New York and it seemed like a sign. It was our go-to neighborhood spot while we lived in the area. We moved to Renton several years back but decided to come in for an early Father's Day breakfast and oof. It was not what we remembered. We arrived in the first 10 minutes of them being opened and there was already a wait -not uncommon and it's Father's Day, so ok. The host took our name and we hung out for a bit. We had 2 adults, a 6 yr old, & 3 yr old. No time was given on how long the wait would be. Several groups came in behind us and weren't acknowledged -at all- as the host came back up to seat the next groups on the wait list. One family complained and left. We waited about 15 minutes while my husband and I juggled 2 hungry and energetic kids - again, it's a holiday so ok. Once we got to our table, we received water very quickly and asked the server to help with the table which was significantly off-kilter and would spill water when jostled. She seemed annoyed to be asked and begrudgingly put a stack of napkins under the side that was off balance while I held the table. My chair also had a screw sticking out that snagged my pants. I didn't mention it. There were cups of crayons and paper at the host stand which weren't offered so my husband went up to get a cup to help entertain our kiddos while we waited. The server came to take our order while he was away from the table so I ordered for the kids. He returned and we both ordered as well. Then we waited 35 minutes for any food at all. Tables around us came and went. I had to continue taking my 3 yr old outside to walk around because he couldn't sit still for that long. At one point about midway through, the server came back to apologize for the delay but then another 15 minutes passed and I had to ask how much longer it would be. She returned shortly after with all our meals and we ate. The food was fine. I had the Birra Benedict, my husband had the Cajun Benedict, and both kids got Mickey pancakes. The pancakes were delicious. My Benedict was just ok. I remember coming specifically for the hollandaise previously and it was nothing special this time. After we finished eating, we had to flag the server down to pay and after I signed the check she came over to clear the table and said nothing as we were leaving. No "thank you" or "happy Father's Day" or "see you next time." Overall, the staff just seemed annoyed to be dealing with people and everything took forever. Food was ok, but we probably won't be back. read more

I had ordered a Save the Farm Animal dish. The location layout was wooden interior and farmer market kind of style. They had parking for their customers which was free. We had gotten our food in a reasonable time and were seated in the first couple of minutes. The restrooms were somewhat clean. The lightening in the bathrooms were dull. The Lincoln park is a 15mins walk away. The neighborhoods are very beautiful to walk in. read more

Let's start with the negatives so we can end on a positive note - because I truly enjoy Endolyn Joe's. (-)s: -I feel that all the meals should go down about $1 - $1.50 in price. $11 for a regular breakfast of just hashbrowns, toast, eggs & bacon (for example) is a little too much for a suburban West Seattle establishment. -Hashbrowns are way too spicy! -Service is hit-and-miss. Sometimes you have the most amazing, attentive server; other times you're waiting for your bill for 15 minutes and they don't check on you when you need something. -There is a tiny table right by the door/host station that I seem to always be asked to sit at. The entrance to the restaurant has two huge doors, and it gets way too cold sitting there. They need to either get rid of the table or do what Matador does - have a screen partition to cover the blasts of wind whenever people enter/exit. (+)s: -Absolutely delicious food, plentiful options -Large, homey restaurant with a great lay-out -$5 breakfast if you come between 8-11am weekdays -Awesome change of culture each month. They decorate and offer a few special menu items!! How fun. Love EJ's. Plus: a parking lot! WHOA. read more

We always love everything we order here! Love the friendly staff and big open inside. Our whole family of 5 LOVES this place!

Wow! I came here recently with a friend for a late breakfast, and I was pleasantly suprised! This is my kind of place...why? -rotating menu -cute, unique environment -friendly, helpful staff -lots of fun areas to sit in -serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and has a pub area My friend and I chose to have breakfast and after asking the waitress what she would recommend, I went along with her recommendation for the Federalist french toast especially since this would be rotated off the menu shortly. It was fabulous! Homemade artisan bread with homemade maple suyrap. Even the whipped butter had a touch of maple too! Dish was well plated with a candied hazelnuts? scattered about my dish... fabulous! My friend had the carmel apple french toast which also looked fabulous. A bit sweet, but if you like sweet order this =D I also like that this restaurant offers some gluten options and poultry breakfast meats opposed to just pork or beef. A great place to hang out! Lots of different folks dining here. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is my go to breakfast place in West Seattle. I love how they switch up their decor to match their menu. Great food and great service. It's fun to see what the theme of the month will be. read more

Used to love this place. I have been coming here far too often since I first moved to WS in 2007, so we are going on 16 years. It's changed a lot over the years but it's still the closest full service restaurant to our home. Because of that we continue to come here even though we shouldn't. The service is usually very slow, sometimes forgetful, and sometimes not very nice or friendly even. A two hour meal here when it should not be in not uncommon. What makes it worse is that the food is not usually all that great anymore. There are a few staples I will always like -- sour cream cloud cakes at brunch they finally brought back and the fried chicken. But you can only do those things so often. The Caesar salad is usually wilted. The seasonal menus items are so so. The burger is over cooked. It just isn't that good. It's not the worst, but like the two stars says, I've had better. Better service and better food. I will say I like the fact that they care about our community. I'm not writing this so say I don't and won't support them. I would just like them to do better. I want to leave here happy with the experience and lately we keep trying and never do. Instead it's about $70ish for two people with no alcohol for a subpar meal. I hope that someday it changes again for the better. It will be a long time before we come back after last night. read more

I've been to Endolyne Joe's for breakfast before so I was expecting to have a lovely lunch. Went with a friend who was a first time customer, because I wanted to show her this really cute place. We will never go there again. We ordered the Tavern salad, very easy, one with no bacon. Bacon was in both salads, and when my friend asked for hers to be returned with no bacon, it was very obvious that the back staff just brushed the bacon off the salad. My friend found several pieces on bacon on her salad. Some people cannot eat pork for religious reasons and the staff were oblivious to it. The dressing was so bland and the "grilled" chicken on the salad was burnt and dry. The waitress only had one speed and that was blind tortoise. So disappointed. read more

Our server was Scott who was filling in at the bar for someone who finally got their much needed vacation! We caught a chair by Lewie and Darryl who claimed to own half the business by how much they're there. We threw in our order for a Mannys (Beer) and Fries while we waited for the ferry just down the hill. Fast efficient service. I complimented Scott and he said "I didn't even talk to you" as he's preparing 6 drinks simultaneously (very talented man) and all with a smile. We stopped in in a Friday night at 5 when it was getting busy. We can't wait to go back! We were in and out so quick I didn't grab a photo but I will when we go back the fries were delicious! read more

Great breakfast. Big portions and everything cooked just right. Pretty decent biscuit also.

We heard the food was good but talk about being mislead... Having to wait as long as we did only to get lukewarm food. The eggs were barely warm and the potatoes were room temperature. They definitely must have a decent client base because were harassed about our vaccine and needed to show the actual card. They would take a picture off the phone. Poor service rounded this horrible experience. We paid with cash which also upset then. read more

Superb location and great building. Sadly, the fun stops there. Three strikes you're out for this diner. First visit, curdled soup. Second visit, undercooked chicken. Third visit, BURNT TOAST! You can't make this stuff up. And BTW what kind of server thinks it is okay to deliver poorly cooked food? Clearly the whole operation from top to bottom is beyond repair, sub par at best. Don't waste your appetite here. Only dumbed down patrons living off frozen entrees can think this garbage is any good. read more

Not impressed. I ordered the Tavern Salad and the chicken on it was overcooked. The service was ok, but the high cost for what you get will not have me returning. My impression is that people want to think it's a hip place, but it's just a diner for West Seattle hipsters to hang out in. read more

This place had been recommended to me several times and today we decided to give it a try. The decor is old, yet kitschy. In celebration of peach season, the place was decorated with tons of Georgia peach references and even a James and the Giant Peach cutout hanging on the ceiling. It was Sunday morning, so the place was already pretty full. We only waited about 5 minutes and then were escorted to our booth. Roberto was our server who brought our water and menus. He gave us the rundown on the special of the day then took our drink order. Roberto came back with my Chile Bloody Mary which was pretty good. Nothing fancy, just a bloody with extra spice to it. I had the Migas and my sis had the farmers scramble. She really enjoyed it because it was loaded with veggies. She also really liked her deep fried red potatoes. My Migas were okay. Again, a personal preference, but the chorizo had a cinnamon-y spice to it that I did not care for. Also, I asked for flour tortillas, and I think they were microwaved and not grilled because by the time I had two bites out of one of them, they were rubbery. :( I'll give it another shot another time. Could have been an off day! read more

Love this spot! It's warm and inviting, friendly service, and delicious food. And, perhaps most importantly right now, they are taking COVID precautions extremely seriously. I feel so lucky to have this restaurant in my neighborhood. Today I had a spicy bloody mary and the cajun benedict... so great! read more

We love EJ's breakfast!!! This is one of our favorite quick breakfast spots in West Seattle. The breakfast burrito, migas, and breakfast sandwich are definitely our favorites. The burrito is BIG, the combination of meats gives it a great, smoky flavor that isn't overpowering. The migas also comes in a large portion, share for smaller appetites or go for it if you're hungry. Incredible with avocado and a little hot sauce. The breakfast sandwich has a DELICIOUS tomato jam that really makes it special. Love the online ordering option and we've always had take out - they do a great job!! read more

Tasty, friendly local diner. Very charming decor. Ask waiter 'what's good here' and you'll get an honest answer. It's not fancy - but that's the point. It's charming and straight forward! I'll be coming back. read more

Delicious food and great service! It was a perfect dinner spot for our family, we will definitely be back.

Endolyne Joes has an awesome family atmosphere, great food, A1 cappuccinos, and probably the best service I've had at a non fine dining restaurant in the past several years. I originally went to Endolyne Joes for only beignets, but I saw their savory foods and couldn't help myself. My go-to order is a cappuccino, a bag of beignets, and their creole inspired eggs Benedict. All three of these items are my absolute favorites, but everything I've tried there has been good! I highly suggest the forager omelet and the corned beef hash in addition to what I mentioned above. Their cocktails are also quite good! I haven't had too many, but I would suggest you give their French 75 a try. It's especially nice if you enjoy your French 75 on the dryer side. All-in-all Endolyne Joes is an excellent neighborhood favorite! read more

It's been awhile since we've been to Endolyne but thought it would be nice to try it again since we were looking for somewhere in the West Seattle area. The food was ok, but we had a surly server. It's going to be a long day for him If he acts like this at 8:30 in the morning. I have his name but it serves no purpose to mention it. Don't plan to come here again nor recommend it to friends and family. There are many other breakfast options in the area. read more

I agree with another reviewers comment that the themed side menus seem to be a trap to lure in customers. Just went there last night for dinner with the boyfriend. I was a bit surprised at the $$$ for their Puerto Rican Appetizers. On the menu it said 4 Mexican Shrimp $14 - seriously how big are these shrimp for them to be about $4 each. So we ordered the Ceviche - same price but it said it came with Halibut - Avocado slices and Plantain chips. For $14 we received a plate of Plantain chips 1/4 of a sliced Avocado and 1 cup of a diced up Halibut mixed with mango bits. I was rather shocked because usually you share an appetizer but this was 1/2 cup of fish for each of us and we did our best to portion it with the plantain chips. The taste was good though, the small bit we had we did enjoy. When I asked the waitress were the list of non-alcoholic drinks were they said they didn't have a list but they had soda and lemon aid. I asked if they had iced tea and she said she could make me some. Finally I settled for something called Hibiscus Lemonade because the waitress said she makes it by hand and could make it sweet. Yeeah I regretted that drink. It was not sweet but tasted like tart lemon aid that someone had soaked a flower into. We both ordered the Fried Chicken Dinner cause we felt so far that might be the safest bet but I was already not feeling this place. Chicken was actually good, I liked the coating on it. It came with mashed potatoes, cooked carrots and a biscuit. The mashed potatoes were definitely made from real potatoes - they were bland and really could have used some salt or seasoning. I'm not a fan of carrots period so we won't talk about them. But the biscuit was very DENSE - not at all fluffy - kind like someone worked the dough too long. I doubt we will be coming back here again. read more
