This is the place to go in Mukilteo for excellent steak and seafood. The service is great and the food is of the highest quality. Happy hour is great with the best martini in town. A favorite! read more

Wow! What a terrific place! I only heard about this place when I saw a "Living Social" deal. I looked it up and it sounded good. So I bought the deal and we went! The meal was amazing from start to finish. The ambience was fantastic. John's is small and intimate with classy soft music in the background and beautiful art on the walls. And you can see the water from 2 tables! It's not hoity-toity at all. It is comfortable and nice. The service was wonderful -- super friendly, timely, and accommodating. The real star was the food, however. First and foremost, the pan fried garlic chicken is out of this world. Plus, you must have their garlic fettucine (which is very "garlicky" and awesome!). I had a NY steak with a peppercorn mushroom sauce. It was terrific and perfectly cooked (but not quite as good as the chicken!). Their house salad with their own homemade blue cheese dressing was also wonderful. It was very creamy and smooth -- and not overpowering. The rosemary fresh bread they brought to the table was also great! Even the fresh green bean accompaniment was good. We didn't have dessert, but they all sounded great. The prices were very reasonable as well. We both totally loved everything about this place and wondered why we had never heard about John's before. It is REALLY REALLY good. We are going back very soon. You will not be disappointed with your experience here. read more

My former housemate has been raving about this place for a few years. Telling me you have to try the stroganoff. I've driven by the place a few times but never felt like it was a place for a table for 1, and I wasn't going to go solo. But I've been jonesing for stroganoff for days and I looked them up and they offer take out. I was floored on how delicious it was. And they do have a small bar top too! Definitely going here again. read more

The place to eat in Mukilteo. Attentive service, excellent cuisine and delicious menu. The proscuito wrapped halibut and hand crafted cocktaild are divine. We will be back! read more

Found this via Yelp reviews as close to the ferry where we need to go tonight for a race on Whidbey island tomorrow. We made a reservation on the road and showed up 30 minutes early. They were able to seat us right away! I checked in on Yelp to get the free appetizer but messed up and marked it redeemed myself. Nonetheless the restaurant redeemed the offer. We all ordered something different and no one was disappointed! The seafood linguini was delicious and full of yummy mushrooms. Daughter ordered the filet mignon with the mushroom sauce. Medium rare was a bit on the rare side but better than overdone! Son ordered the special steelhead which was also very good. read more

My side-kick, BF, and I decided to celebrate our anniversary closer to home, AND away from the chains. We arrived a little before 6pm and were the 3rd party there. The decoration is not bad and the tables were clean. The restaurant itself is comfortable, and relaxing. It set the night nicely as we looked over our menu with the dimmed lights and candles. The waitress was the wife I believe, which wad quite friendly, and had served us our water and bread promptly. I loved their rosemary bread! it was divine! After a couple minutes of chatter our calamari appetizer arrived and made our mouths water. The calamari itself was soft, fresh, and was lightly coated. The sauce had a kick of cumin which was fantastic because I usually shy away from it's strong smell. By this time I started to notice how full the restaurant became, it was about 6:40pm. Our main dishes were presented before us, I had ordered their special of the day: King Salmon with shrimp... sauce, it was french, garlic fettuccine, and substituted the asparagus with potatoes. I wished I would have caught the name of my sauce because it was spectacular! I ended up using it with my potatoes as well. The salmon had a nice crisp on the outside, which I loved, and was perfectly cooked inside. My BF had ordered the 120z NY steak prepared with matre'd butter and a mushroom sauce, with potatoes and asparagus. He didn't know they encourage substituting! He got his steak medium rare and I of course sampled it to confirm it's awesomeness! The only parts he didn't like were a charred part of the steak and that his potatoes were plain, he was too afraid to ask for sour cream, *chukle* Their potatoes were red potatoes that were baked so it was nice and soft. Overall I would definitely like to come back just for their rosemary bread! I would like to try their pork loins though... read more

Was visiting Everett for business and when I asked my local co-workers about where to get a good steak, I was told that "I was in the wrong town for steak". Well nothing could be farther than the truth! Found the reviews about John's Grill on yelp and based on past reviews, decided to try it out for myself. Glad I did! I had the Roasted Corn and Clam Chowder followed by an awesome 14 oz. Center Cut New York which appearently "John" had trimmed off the normal piece of grissle that hugs one side of a typical NY Strip. It was the biggest 14 oz. steak I have ever had. I am a Native Texan and live in the D/FW area so I know a good steak and John's definitely fills the bill! The Roasted Corn and Clam Chowder was better than the Clam Chowder that I had at Ivars for lunch. Both were excellent, but John's was the best. Service was excellent and provded by cheerful attentive staff. This is not the place to go if you're in a hurry, but based on the quality of the meal, it was worth the wait. Very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, not noisy at all and easy to carry on a pleasant conversation. There are not that many tables (10 I think), but the place was not full at 7pm on a Thursday. I have added John's to my iPhone for meals while in the Everett area as I come somewhat often for work. I will also be recommending to my co-workers that visit the area also Looking forward to coming back as I want to try the 8 oz filet and the Beef Stroganoff! read more

WORST SERVICE ever in the bar. Did not even get to taste the food. After waiting over 35 minutes for a couple of appetizers, wife and I left. Called and talked to John and he's full of excuses. Here's your tip John. First thing you say to a dissatisfied customer is "I'm sorry..." read more

I am writing this review for my parents who went to John's Grill on friday night and just loved it. They had the crab cakes and the shrimp and said it is delicious. They will certainly be going back! read more

I took my husband here for his birthday dinner. The service was lovely and the food was excellent. There were not a lot of people there as it was late on a weeknight, so it made for a romantic, fun dinner. read more

Best steak in mukilteo.. All 6 steaks we ordered were pefect. Nice small location just off the speedway.

My husband and I happened in here after looking for a place in the north end. We enjoyed the food immensely, the staff was great and we even got some great wine advice from the chefs wife. We will definitely be going again! read more

We made reservations for early Saturday dinner for five...Everyone had something different. Mother in law had the crab cakes, excellent...Sister in law had the Seafood Linguine perfect. Son had the Pan Roasted Garlic Chicken excellent as well. Wife had the New York with Rolled in cracked black pepper, pan seared, finished with brandy demi-glace awesome. I had the Beef Strogonoff best ever. The staff is excellent. Great wine & martinis!! Very small place & hours are limited make reservations & you will love it...As good as anything in Seattle & the Eastside.... read more

Super slow service. Waiter brought me my drink then didn't check back. If the food is delayed, let someone know. I would have been happy with another drink waiting...but I couldn't even get that. Should have gone to the Lodge or Diamond Knot. Next time I will. read more

When you eat at a restaurant where the name on the window (John) is not only the owner but the chef, you typically are in for a treat. That's the case here. Good well thought food, simple ingredients nicely combined and prepared. Very comfortable atmosphere, not pretentious at all. Very accessible prices for upper end fare. Great service, casual and not rushed. Knowledgable staff. A wonderful date night with my wife. It's been open for 8 years we were told and has a strong following of regulars who go every week apparently. Try the Polenta Sticks appetizer, it's unlike any polenta dish you've ever had. read more

This is the best restaurant in Snohomish County. Period. The cuisine is exceptional. The calamari appetizer is the best I have ever had anywhere. The steak is on par with the best steakhouses in the country. It is not inexpensive, but not unreasonable, and worth every penny! read more

Service is slow. Not much energy in the crowd or staff. Pretentious old people, mostly. Food medicore.. Prices not worth it.

Just ok. Took almost an hour to get our dinners. I ordered the seafood pasta, 2 shrimp 1 scallop. Disappointing.

Vegetarian polenta is to die for!! Top 5 favorite meals I've ever had at a restaurant. The place is so cozy, and the staff are very friendly. I love johns grill and will forever be a customer! read more

Worst service I think we have ever had. Took the waitress at least 10 minutes to even acknowledge that we were there. Just kept walking by without saying anything. Food was decent. I got the filet mignon and my boyfriend got the 14oz New York. Both steaks had no flavor but we could tell it was quality meat. The garlic potatoes on the other hand were delicious. For the price of the experience we were expecting a higher quality of customer service. We probably will not be returning. read more

We love this neighborhood spot. Always consistent delicious food. We didn't have reservations but walked in and got sat right away. For a Tuesday is was full. One of The servers came over with water and bread to start us off. She said she would be right back and we told her right away 'no hurry' since we always like to extend our meal. When she came back we ordered the polenta app and a bottle of wine. We told her we would wait after the app then order food. She was great. I ordered the always amazing Stroganoff and my husband ordered a steak with the mushroom gravy. Couldn't be happier with our meal. read more

We ate here last night due to the wonderful reviews in the Everett Herald. We had a dinner reservation for 7:15 but arrived there early and sat at the bar. There were five of us sitting there and a couple in the middle were cashing out. We sat for quite a while before someone asked if we wanted drinks. The young man came out to help the couple cash out and completely ignored us. (I am pretty sure he was new) We decided to eat at the bar and then ended up sitting where the couple sat staring straight back into the kitchen. First off, everyone was nice but what we could see from the bar and the two or three people in and out, it was being run in a very chaotic way. There was no organization going on and who was in charge of the customers in the bar. Not sure about the dining area. Couple of times the person who was finally waiting on us asked us the same question several times. I got the feeling either someone was sick or they were shorthanded (which btw, they did not look shorthanded) or some catastrophic thing had happened. Everyone appeared to be flustered and did not know their roles in helping the customer. The bar is not really set for serving people, it is unorganized and the way it is set up does not help the people who are serving the customers. Now let's get to the steak. New York 14oz., it was the best steak that I have ever had and I am comparing this to eating at the Metropolitan Grill. Outstanding. My hat is off to the Chef who cooked it. FABULOUS! The Halibut was done beautiful. I give it three stars because, the ambiance is really lacking and the staff was completely unorganized. Would I go back again? Probably not. A restaurant needs to hit the three areas, food, ambiance and staff. Two thirds of it was just not there. read more

Update - Ellen the bartender hostess is gone. I'm not sure this place is the same without her.

Tries to hard to be hip. This place is ok. Not impressed with the meal. Prices were a bit high. Seemed like a chef's presentation on a Ramsey show where they are showing off their plating skills and look vs letting the food speak for itself. The running joke is... "Is it open"? Every time we drive by, its closed. read more

The crabcake was best ever. I saw someone complained that it was too fluffy, but that just added to the toastiness, and airiness of the crab. Outstanding! The service was great, and Lisa was personable and helpful, and our main dish was on the money. Nice ambience, pleasant neighborhood with some views of the water, and we'll be going back. read more

I cannot remember the last time I have been so satisfied with a meal at a restaurant - 1000 percent worth the trip. Taking a colleague there tomorrow. If you are on the waterfront, walk up the hill! Then order dessert. I'm 48, some eating experience behind this review read more

Perhaps because i'm not a local, I wasnt treated very well. The food was blah. We were really hoping to enjoy some wonderful cuisine based on the reviews, but this was just blah. read more

This place is perfect for a first date. Nice, quiet, and fancy! I came here with a friend for a birthday meal, ate at the bar but it was still a comfortable meal. I would suggest this place to anyone looking to take their wives out or to impress a girl with. read more

Went here looking for a great steak in the north-end. Found this place on Yelp, Thanks Yelpers! Ordered a couple of filets that where cooked to perfection. I give the food two HUGE THUMBS UP! This was one of the best steaks my girlfriend and I have ever had! Forget about The Met, Daniels, etc. Johns is where its at! Prices where very reasonable and the location was very nice. We also had a few drinks (bloody mary, mojito) that where also awesome! Only negative was the waitress seemed to forget we where there. We will most definitely return! read more

Service was fabulous as well as the food. I had the stroganoff and the house red. We were celebrating our anniversary and it was a wonderful evening. read more

Been here several times , once to a great birthday party. Food always great with quick friendly service. The best classy restaurant for miles around read more

John goes out of his way and pays special attention the details, making this restaurant amazing and above all others. The steaks are exceptional, all the food is fresh and expertly prepared. Do yourself a favor stop by for dinner and be over the top pleased. read more

I want to say first and foremost my waitress Lacy was absolutely amazing the best server I have ever had and the food was so good the beef kabobs were tender well seasoned and the pesto is what put it over the top. for my main course I got the stoganoff fist of all I have had a lot of stroganoff but this one was by far the best I have ever had I would highly recommend John's grill to anyone. outstanding service by lacy and awesome food by John read more

Love this place! I ordered a grilled filet and it was phenomenal. My husband ordered salmon and it was equally delicious. The side dishes were super tasty as well, especially the alfredo. We had casually mentioned it was our anniversary and they brought us a complimentary dessert. We chose the chocolate mousse with fresh berries. It was heavenly. Looking forward to going back for a second installment. read more

We've always been happy here. The food is awesome, especially the steaks.... we always come here for the Steak. Service is really good too. Nice quiet place, with a homey feeling to it. Definitely going back. read more

First time visitor and the wife and I both ordered the filet mignon and it tasted great and the server was very tentative. The complaints we had were the portion size of potatoes and the vegetables were very lacking, but I went there for the beef, not the side dishes and left satisfied. read more

Haven't been there for a while. The service was great and the seafood fettuccine was unbelievable. Best ever!!

Another excellent dinner at John's Grill tonight! We started with the calamari which had a nice light batter, not heavy or greasy, and a yummy dipping sauce. My husband had the Caesar salad he says was good, but not $7 good. My spinach salad was fresh and lightly dressed as I requested. My husband had the chicken entrée and I had the polenta. The chicken comes with the most awesome gravy we have ever had. I had the chicken on our first visit. The polenta was nice and crispy and the seasonal vegetables that came with were perfectly cooked, not mushy at all. The service was great too and we didn't feel rushed. We got to enjoy our baby free evening. Lisa and John have a good thing going here. We will definitely be back, with or without a yelp deal! read more

This place was such a great place for my gf and I. We loved their rosemary starter bread. Then I had a pomegranate martini that was the best I ever had. So smooth and their homemade sweet and sour. Their crab cake was AMAZING! It was light and airy and the marmalade on top was a little spicy but not overpowering. Over all it was a great experience. read more

Awesome food experience! Fresh caught wild Salmon was perfection and my wife's chicken in a balsamic reduction was superb. If we are ever in the area again we will be coming to John's Grill! read more
