    This is one of the most popular places to eat around. Their battered fish and oysters were excellent. Battered shrimps were OK. I liked their tartar sauce over Ol' Bay Aoli. The sampler was big portion. My daughter and I were so full after eating it.

    Fish and Chips Basket sub crab fries and chowder

    Was wandering around Seattle center last weekend for a jewelry show and popped in here for a late lunch. I honestly did not know the armory was opened on the weekends haha. My brain assumed it's only opened during the summer so it was a pleasant surprise coming in here and seeing how busy it was. There was a torrent game at climate pledge so lots of people in jerseys. My friend and I ordered fish and chips and a chowder to share. It was so warm and comforting! I made the mistake of not wearing a jacket so it was really nice haha. Service was quick. You order from their little kiosk and they call your name once it was ready. I'll have to make a visit here more often!!

    Well it had my name on it so I had what the hell?! Jokes aside, I was craving some seafood after being in Seattle for a day. After hanging out at MoPOP for a few hours we popped over to Seattle Center Armory. It's a food hall with at least a dozen places to eat. As soon as I saw a seafood option I knew I had found my happy place. Menu is simple with fry baskets, sandwiches, and some specialty items. It looks like they've expanded their menu comparatively to older photos. Honestly fish and chips sounded great, that's what I went with! Beer-battered Alaskan Cod, hand cut fries, and tartar sauce. When you use high quality ingredients you don't need much else. A squeeze of lemon and a little hot sauce and I was in heaven. The fish was so hot I had to wait nearly 10 minutes for it to cool down. I devoured this basket. It's a gigantic portion of food. Two generous sized pieces of flaky cod in a crispy beer batter exterior. Absolutely delicious. I wish the sauce containers were bigger for dipping. Fries were simple, yet seasoned and tender. Absolutely zero complaints. I knocked it all back with a Fremont beer. Couldn't ask for more. A very tasty plate of fish and chips that lived up to my namesake!

    We wanted to grab a quick bite to eat pre-Lady Gaga concert, this place was perfect. Ordered the fish and chips on the kiosk, waited about 5 minutes for the food. The fish was okay, the french fries were mid crisp. Tarter sauce was stock. Prices were decent, no customer service as you just order from the kiosk. If you are looking for somewhere quick to eat nearby a concert, this place works.

    Great shrimp roll.

    Had a great lunch at Matt's today. I had the Shrimp Roll and wife had the cod - fish and chips. The shrimp roll was so big I could hardly get it in the mouth.

    Giant shrimp basket!

    Visiting the Sakura Festival in Seattle, this place totally blew us away from our expectations! Not in a conspicuous place, nestled to the left of the staircase going up to the Armory, there were plenty of tables although there was a large crowd dining then. Not cheap eating, we thought at first, but when the food was ready to be picked up... wow! When do shrimp become prawns? These were some giant shrimp! Well breaded but just cooked on the inside. Delicious! The mussels were an appetizer and just delightful with a choice of sauces. The crab over fries.... I'll eat this every day. Just yum! Fries were good but with fries in almost every order, we could not finish it all. Once cold, the oil saturates... so tip: eat fast! Highly recommended if in the neighborhood!

    Super chunky fried shrimp, excellent customer service, good efficient service! The shrimp were big and flavorful . They had other very good options which I look forward to trying next time I'm in Seattle

    Waited a very time for a bowl of small soup, but the taste was good. Very thick bowl of clam chowder, and not watery at all. Came with a nice piece of toast also. Inside the food hall, so easily could fit a big group inside. Definitely for tourists but if you are coming, an easy and relaxed meal. Order via iPad screen.

    Post dinner treat, compliments of Jorge
    Tammy K.

    Thank god we made it in time! Visiting Seattles Children's museum and came across Matt's fish basket. And want to SINNNNG the praises of Jorge the gentleman who not only help me order enough/tell me I was ordering too much food but also being AMAZINGLY honest and helping me order "hooked-up" stuff off the menu so that I wasn't paying full price. He could have totally not said anything and I wouldn't have known any better but Jorge literally got me so much bang for my buck. We got the sampler, seafood poutine, crispy mussels and clam chowder. My kids ate EVERYTHING. The food was SOOOO DARN GOOD. My 6 year old and 3 year old finished EVERYTHING on their plate without argument. But it wasn't just that the food was good, I really deeply appreciate Jorge's customer service. Best customer service I've had in a VERY long time. Not only did he help me charge my phone (didn't bring charger with me) but he gave my kids soft serve... I cannot express how thankful I am and how happy he made my kids. This man deserves a raise. I'm serious, if he doesn't get one I'm 100% sure his kindness and gifts with customer service would be deeply desired everywhere else.

    Shrimp sandwich
    Wells L.

    TL:DR - Lots of food for the value. Fries take up most of the actual container. Shrimp and sauce were quite good. But this is just too much of a good thing. You couldn't eat it as a sandwich with how big the shrimp were, and just all the oil and fried batter was too much and made me feel sick. All in all, if you're used to fried foods, you'll love this spot, otherwise it won't sit well. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I think you'll either absolutely love this place or never want to come back. I'm pretty much in the never want to come back camp, but I can easily see other people really liking it. To just break it down bluntly, you get a HUGE amount of food for the price. Pretty much the entire takeout box was filled with fries, and my shrimp po'boy was on top. So you'd barely be able to close the flaps if you took the entire sandwich out. So again, this may be a reason to come for some. The fries themselves were delicious, crispy and crunchy, perfectly seasoned. The shrimp on this po-boy were HUGE. I mean, each one was literally the height of the bun it was served on. You couldn't even close the bun, I had to eat one shrimp by itself, lay them all sideways, and they were still spilling out of the bun. The bun was perfectly toasted on the inside, nice and soft in the middle. The sauce for the shrimp was delicious as well. The shrimp itself was about 1/3 batter and 2/3 shrimp meat, which is pretty good. All that sounds great right? So what's the problem? Well the problem for me is that it was just too much oil. Between the heavy sauce, large amounts of fried batter, and then the ungodly amount of fries on top of that. I barely finished any of it, I just felt sick from all the fried carbs. I started taking the batter off most of the shrimp, scraped off most of the sauce, and only eating about a third of my fries and felt super slow and heavy the rest of the day. So if you love greasy food and it doesn't bother you, you may love this place. If fried fast food is a once in a while treat, this may leave you feeling nothing but regret.

    Fried oysters and fries -cup of clam chowder and a $4 Diet Pepsi$40 lunch that I didn't want to finish.
    Barbara K.

    Fried oysters were expensive and super over fried. Fries were pretty good. Clam chowder tasted like it came from a can. Service was excellent, but if the food's not great, I won't be back or recommend. $40 not well spent on lunch this time around!

    Solid and quick fried fish when you crave it. Located in the Armory, it's a convenient location. Wait time after ordering varies but is generally not too bad. Fish is super crunchy, if a bit greasy. Only 1 sauce is included with your order. In the handful of times I've visited, half the time they are out of dole whip. There is ample seating in the hall and it's not too loud.

    This is located in the Armory which is the food court near the space needle. Interestingly this is the only one with a 4+ star review so I chose this. The portion is huge. I really mean huge. When I ordered the seafood basket I had no idea how big it is. There are two pieces of everything so far $20+ is not bad. You get 2 fried fish pieces, 2 fried prawns (they are huge) and 2 oysters. They also pack a lot of fries which is not bad but it is just fries. I was glad the lady taking the order reminded me that the portion is large so I didn't try the clam chowder. This is just decent gesture to warn customers so I'm grateful. Relatively speaking this place is not as crowded as the burger place next door but I think this is better if you like seafood.

    Really good sandwiches!…read more I was visiting Seattle for work and during my break, I decided to go to the Armory for lunch. This was certainly a great choice, the food is excellent! I had their Philly Cheesesteak, which was awesome. Everything is cooked to order, so there is a slight wait after ordering, but it is certainly worth it. There are also seats and tables outside of the spot for you to eat at, it's shared with a few other restaurants. If you really want an exciting time, eat there while a Zumba is going on! Then you can people watch while enjoying your food.

We were able to get food on a Saturday around 4PM, and fortunately Big Mike's was one of the few places still open at the time. The armory is pretty accessible via the monorail, if you decide to drive, you will have to consider nearby streetside or venue/science center parking. Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

For this visit, i came here on a Saturday noon after finding literally everywhere else I wanted to eat at full or plagued by long lines. I mean here also has long lines but it goes by quick. Staff are proactive on grabbing your stuff, toasting them if you want them to, and bringing out your orders after paying. There's a ton of sandwich options, and all are on display along with their ingredients. You can either get half a sandwich for $7 or a whole one for $13, and there are other baked goods like baked potatoes, pasta bake and shepherd's pie. Seating consists of wall seating that you need to bus yourself. and water and napkins are self-serve. I got half of a roasted beef and gorgonzola sandwich, and my bestie got half of a crispy chicken sandwich. We also shared a chicken and parmesan pasta bake, all of which we asked to be toasted. - My bestie's crispy chicken sandwich's chicken could have been more crispy. There wasn't too much pepper seasoning on it either. - The chicken and parmesan pasta bake tasted more like mac and cheese, and wasn't the best. - The real winner for both of us was my roasted beef and gorgonzola. Normally I don't enjoy blue cheese because of how pungent it tastes, but this sandwich - along with the nicely caramelized onions - gave a fresh, savory taste and even enhanced the flavor profile of the roast beef for both of us. My bestie went back at a later time just to have their roasted beef and gorgonzola, so it's clear we have a favorite here! I'm down to find more favorites and go-tos in future visits.
