After spending the morning at Pike Place, and doing our own tasting tour, we were on the hunt for good seafood. Market Grill came up as one of the higher rated options so we decided to give it a chance. This small stand was located in a very busy area of the market and a constant flow of customers. I ordered the salmon plate which came with a filet, rice, side salad, and garlic bread. As we waited for food we sat on the side of the grill which had 4 seats(3 mounted and 1 stool on a slanted surface). I took note of how the cooks prepared the fish and noticed how it seemed like all they were making was salmon although there were other protein items. That told me just how popular the salmon was. I watched the cooks season the fish very generously so I had high expectations of how flavorful it would be. Once I tasted my food, I was confused on why this place is so popular. I was VERY disappointed in the lack of flavor on the fish. It was flavorless despite the amount of seasoning I watched them put on it. The rice was also not seasoned and didn't gain any flavor from the salmon being on top. It was easily my least favorite meal of the trip and I would not return or recommend. read more

After hours of exploring Pike Place, my friend and I decided to stop here for lunch. It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we were able to snag two seats at the counter- incredible, I have a minor ankle injury and quite literally needed to sit down somewhere. My stool was rickety, but I was glad to have it anyway since the counter seating at this stall is very limited. The line to order moved quickly, and they provided complementary water at the register. I ordered the blackened salmon sandwich. I was a bit blown away by the $30 price point, but I wanted to see why this spot is known for them. It was cool to watch them cook the fish on the grill right in front of me, and I just KNEW it was going to be flavorful since I saw the cook shake a hefty amount of seasoning onto the fish. Unfortunately I was wrong. I did enjoy the sandwich, but I can't say I'd get it again for that price. It was good, but not groundbreakingly so. It's ciabatta with tomato, lettuce, grilled onion, rosemary mayo, and the blackened salmon. I expected like a blackened Cajun sort of flavor, but I believe they're referring to the grilling of the fish when they call it "blackened." The salmon was definitely fresh (of course, LOVE), but it lacked flavor. It could've really used salt, or just more/a different seasoning in general. The rosemary mayo is what saved it for me, because I love a good sauce. But I think sans mayo, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed the sandwich nearly as much. I also think the fillet could've been a bit bigger because I got a few bites that were just bread & veggie. It was definitely worth trying, but I don't see myself dreamily talking about it when I tell people about my trip. read more

Ok I'm really struggling to understand the hype around this place. The vibe is great, and if you're lucky enough to find seating, it's a really cool spot for a quick meal. However, I thought it was BEYOND overpriced. I got the salmon sandwich, which was almost $30 after tax and tip. The portion size is pretty small, and there is nothing special to the meal. I also thought the salmon was too dry and lacking any flavor. The service was great, and the vibe is really cool, but would def not recommend this place unless you're really craving a salmon sandwich. read more

Having heard so much about this place in Pike Place Market, I really wanted to love this place, but to be honest the food was just fine and nothing special. I feel you are paying for the experience of being in Pike Place Market and getting to eat there, but there are many other places one can get better fish sandwiches. We tried the blackened salmon sandwich and the shrimp sandwich. The shrimp one was more flavorful while the salmon one really needed to be seasoned more. Plus, the nearly $20 price point for each just really left me a bit disappointed with the small portion sizes and lackluster flavor. The service and ambiance are great, so really know that you are coming for that instead of for an incredible fresh seafood experience that you can get elsewhere. read more

I ordered the halibut sandwich and was not disappointed. The fish is grilled fresh to order, which I really appreciated. For me, the bread is 50% of what makes a great sandwich, and they absolutely got that part right. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I personally felt it could use a little more acidity and a touch of spice to make the flavors pop a bit more--it was slightly mild for my taste. But overall, it was fresh, tasty, and I would order it again. read more

Excellent, fresh seafood options in platter or sandwich form in Pike Place. Not an expansive menu but I felt that they focused on making each dish delicious.

The front counter server was pretty rude given how busy the restaurant was but I appreciated he made sure we had seating outside. I preferred the clam chowder which was heady and warming.

So we were fortunate enough to come by this place because when we arrived to the marketplace it was during the transition from lunch time to dinner time. Meaning that a lot of the restaurants were starting to close in order to get themselves ready for again the next set of patrons at night. The service was great, the person behind the register really helped us understand what were the popular items of the grill and even gave her a recommendation to make sure that we each got our own clam chowder because it is what they were known for. We also decided to grab a prawn sandwich and salmon sandwich. Of the two of them we actually enjoyed the prawn sandwich more because the seasoning really enhanced the freshness of the shrimp. The salmon sandwich was good, for us though it did need a little bit more seasoning after having the comparison of the prawn sandwich. The one call out regarding the atmosphere is you are definitely going to be seeing a lot of foot traffic which means a lot of fun people watching. The one thing that was a little hard for me was being so close to a fish market/fish stand. In general it would not have been such a distraction with the smell, but again we arrive when things are starting to shut down so they were hosing down and using a bit of cleaning products to get the area disinfected. So that smell did throw off my appetite just a little bit. Would definitely come back here because that chowder was amazing and we really enjoyed the prawn sandwich. read more

Highly recommend Market Grill to anyone looking for fresh, delicious seafood!! There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. The employees were friendly and after we ordered, they showed us to our table outside. They do have a sitting area that is for Market Grill guests (it's labeled as such), and they aren't afraid to kick others out so their guests can dine! It was pretty crowded, as we were there during peak lunch on a Friday. We didn't wait long for our two sandwiches. I had the blackened pacific rock cod. It was SO good. We will absolutely be back next time we're in the area! read more

Found the Market Grill while walking through Pike Place Market and decided to give it a try for lunch. The workers there were very helpful and super nice when taking our order. There are some seats right inside at their area, but there are a few tables outside that are designated for their customers. We sat outside and our meal was brought to us once it was done being prepared! We tried the salmon sandwich, and while it was good, there wasn't anything special about it. Don't think the price was worth it, but willing to pay given how helpful the staff was and being able to have somewhere to enjoy our meal. The chowder (tomato based) had good chunks of salmon in it. read more

+ Delicious seafood. + Sweet, friendly staff. . Crowdedness varies. When we arrived, there was a line of 10-20 ppl. After we finished eating, there was no line. (Thu noon) - Seating is very scarce. Only like 6-10 chairs for 15+ customers. Prob gotta bring your food somewhere else to eat. - Tight space. Barely room to walk around between people since the whole area is crowded. - Extortionate. My lunch cost almost $35 for a salmon sandwich, a soda, and chowder; should've been $25-30. - Finding parking to visit this shop is a different story. Prob have to park at a parking structure 5-10min walk away. Pike Market is a super crowded tourist attraction. read more

We had one meal at the market, a friend recommended going here, and it was fantastic! Not too long of a wait, either. They cook right in front of you, it's so fresh, and the crunchy bread pairs perfectly with the salmon. My husband reports that for those who don't like fish, the chicken sandwich is also crave-worthy. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We ended up getting seats (there are only a handful) and the staff went above and beyond to give everyone cups of water, make sure we had everything we needed, etc. Would love to try the poke bowl next time. read more

Market grill is located in the middleish of pike place market. My friend and I ordered through the QR code that they provided. We got the clam chowder and the salmon platter. The chowder was pretty good but not the best that I've had in the area. The salmon was slightly disappointing as it was dry and didn't have a ton of flavor. The rice for the platter had a citrusy taste to it which was nice, and the salad vinaigrette was so good! The garlic bread was also super garlicky--yum! Maybe I went at an off time because all the side items were delicious. It was just disappointing that the salmon wasn't as good as them. read more

my go-to spot in the market to take visitors, who love fish! the blackened salmon sandwich is truly world famous and has never missed. I have been to market grill probably about 10 times in the last two years. during the summer, they open the patio on the pike place market road. otherwise, take it to-go and sit somewhere by the water. the fish is cooked perfectly with a touch of smokiness, the aioli pairs so well, the bread is soft and toasted and the tomato is a perfect burst of freshness in the sandwich. I honestly haven't tried anything else market grill has on the menu, but the blackened salmon sandwich always hits the spot for me. they're usually fairly quick, even with a lunch rush - about 5 to 10 mins for the food to be done once ordered. read more

Salmon cooked to perfection. And their world famous sandwich was quite possibly one of the best I've had in a really long time!! Everything tastes so fresh and you can literally see them making everything in front of you as you wait. The lines can get long but move very quickly! We noticed the entire market is busier Friday-Sunday so if possible, I recommend going during the other weekdays. They only have about 8 chairs to sit and eat at their counter. Otherwise you have better luck taking this to-go and eating it elsewhere. I did notice the area is wheelchair accessible with ramps and such however, with how crowded it gets inside it makes it nearly impossible to get around. read more

Even as a local, I have always heard of the famous grilled blackened salmon sandwich at Market Grill in Pike Place Market. For many years, it was always too crowded, no seats left, or even sold out. After they remodeled adding outdoor seating, it was much easier to order and then grab a seat outside (reserved for Market Grill). The place is simple, café style where you order at the counter, and they bring the food out to you. Service was swift. The staff has an amazing sense of remembering their customers. The Food: Blackened Salmon Sandwich, $19.95 - 4 Stars Their signature sandwich didn't hit perfect for us. The bread was "very bread"; somewhere between doughy or possibly too much bread, it fought the salmon for attention and won. I want a more yielding bread that is happy to be the supporting actor. We opted to fix it by ordering... New England Style Clam Chowder, $8 - 4 Stars We ordered the chowder to dip the sandwich into, or spoon a bit onto the bread to tame it. Hmm, good combination. Sandwich is tamed; chowder is good. I highly recommend ordering both sandwich and chowder as a pair. read more

Blackened Salmon Sandwich: The ratio between the bread, salmon, and vegetables was great. The salmon was delicious and flakey. Everything wrapped up very nicely with the perfect amount of mayo. By the time we stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, several items on their menu were sold out--including their New England Clam Chowder. There are only several seats inside by their counter for indoor eating. The employee working out at the front gave us great service and made sure we were taken care of.

So fresh and so delicious. The clam chowder was my second favorite and I would choose this clam chowder over Pike's. I thought the salmon belly wasn't bad, but it didn't live up to the price tag. It was the most expensive thing we got and my least favorite. Overall, get the poke and the clam chowder!!

The night before, I'd had oysters at an overly performative but insanely beautiful bar on 12th Ave…read more(iykyk) and they left a lot to be desired. So when I woke up still craving shellfish, RockCreek was the call. It was the right one. A dozen oysters to start: Kumamoto and Shigoku. Clean -- no grit, no sand. Whatever they're doing back there, it's working. The brine was full and present in every shell, and the mignonette hit that rare sweet spot of light but actually seasoned. The Winter Old Fashioned? Get it. It was so delicious. Then came the crab Benedict. The side salad alone was worth writing home about -- big, buttery, peppery leaves draped in one of those feather-light vinaigrettes that sounds simple until you try to replicate it at home and realize you can't. But the real star of the entire plate was the potatoes. Crispy outside, genuinely fluffy inside, seasoned with conviction. A masterpiece is not too strong a word. Closed with a glass of pink wine. Was eyeing the bottle with the piglet on the label, but it was bottle-only -- a distinction I find increasingly arbitrary as a former server and bartender. One day that policy will be a relic. Not yet, apparently. Best brunch I've had in Seattle in two years. Highly recommend.

Took the stairs into the dining area. Underwhelming location and we were sat outside next to the street.Greeted by tall attractive woman. Ordered wine and waited and waited.Put in for a couple small plates and waited. Another waitress came and informed us they didn't have the wine we wanted and ordered another.And we waited. So after we waited over 45 minutes we left. I have a hard time believing the positive reviews on this place.

I also split the NW chowder with my hubby who had the fish and chips - yummy but a bit thinner than I prefer, with a bit of bell pepper taste. It also has geoduck instead of oysters which he wasn't sure of but ate it anyway! He did say the fish and chips were "really good" but felt the fried were a bit soft which I concurred. Lastly, our server was spot on and so informative!

Upon walking in, we noticed the server was pretty quick to take the initiative to push a couple high tops together since most of the tables only sat 2. We also had a child with us so he offered us a booster seat. I feel like that was the last time we were treated pleasantly. Our server was very dry and direct when he approached us. I told him my husband has celiac and his response was "Ok." I followed up with so can you tell us what options we have that are Gluten free friendly? (Didn't think I needed to ask after mentioning a severe allergy) He just stepped away and looked like he was trying to find out from someone in the kitchen. He came back shortly after and gave us our options. We ordered a few different things to share, oysters, the fish dip and mussels tostada. The vibe we got was that he did not enjoy serving us because we had a child with us and I seem to be asking him too many questions. That is the impression he left with us. I will say the oysters were very fresh and enjoyable. We also got the crab Mac n cheese which was cheesy and tasty. We asked him for some more chips since we ran out quickly for the smoked oyster dip. He seemed annoyed but got us more. I could overhear that he sounded more pleasant with the other guests surrounding us. The mussels tostada flavors were nice but I didn't love the texture of them which is totally just my preference. He dropped off the check shortly after and noticed there was a 18% gratuity which I found out is standard for downtown Seattle. Being in the industry I do think it's a courtesy to mention it when dropping off the check to a guest. On another note, I did think the seafood tank in the center was cool because you could see all the geoduck and oysters they were offering. Overall, I think we wanted to enjoy our experience more but the servers attitude and demeanor towards us was off putting and we just tried to eat quickly and leave. Don't think we'll return to this location.

The warm potato rolls were sooo good--soft, buttery, and delicious. The clams and fried green tomatoes with crab were also tasty starters. For my entrée, I ordered the scallop appetizer and the NW chowder. The scallops were delicious, but the chowder was a little on the thick side for me. Others ordered the salmon, which seemed to be a bit overcooked and on the dry side. We shared all of the desserts, and the lemon fennel tart was a hit. The coconut cream pie wasn't quite as good as I remembered, mostly because the whipped cream could have been a little sweeter. Service was smooth considering the size of our group, and everyone had a good time.

Our incredible server Trey soon came over and helped us decide on some drinks, as we were debating between a few. The menu has so many options, it was hard to just choose one! We soon put our appetizer orders in, as well as our entrees. The calamari tasted fresh and crispy, what's not to like? The oysters I was recommended, tasted sooo fresh! The smoked salmon deviled egg was something I've never thought would work, but it tasted amazing. You can never go wrong with fish and chips, which tasted great! Our server was so sweet and was very attentive throughout the whole night. Dessert time came around and Trey recommended this Washington berry pie, we were sold! It came out deliciously warm with some ice cream on top, which was the cherry on top for our night!!

The food is good, but not something that will bring you back over and over again. The service on the other hand is incredibly good. Kind, thoughtful and incredibly authentic. We took my mother - a person who lives with disabilities and requires a mobility scooter. The staff went out of their way to help her feel comfortable and well taken care of. In my book - the staff of Duke's of south Lake Union are a solid 5 stars rating. And, the food is a 3'ish rating. Put together- it's a place that is worth visiting if for nothing else than the amazing staff. Oh, and the view on Lake Union is also really great, especially if you can grab a table near one of the patio heaters.
