My four stars are exclusively for the carousel and how it reminded me of Bioshock Infinite. The end. read more

We were in a hurry, so grabbed some food at the open air seafood restaurant in this building. Not only was it expensive, but it was absolutely tasteless. I got the soft shell crab po-boy and cole slaw. Except for the fact that our french fries tasted like seafood. Gross.) with so much other good food around - go somewhere else. read more

Miners Landing - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The security around this place treat people horribly. seems as if they are so bored with their day to day lifes they have to go out of their way to pick on people for the smallest of issues and talk very rudely to people as well. Its a shameful way to run a busines. From they way I have seen them treat customers and tourist I now refuse to give them any of my business and highly recommend to anyone I know to do the same. hopefully they can make some changes to their staffing. read more

Probably one of the best stand alone arcades in the Seattle area! The machines for the most part are old school with some pinball machines. There is also a mix of newer machines like the shooting games and dancing games that allow you to win tickets. But like other arcades you of course pay for way more than what the stuff there is worth. I like the overall setting there is a gift shop and merry go round in the arcade! This is truly an awesome place and I hope that it stays open for more years to come! The overall setting is very fisherman and Seattle like with the floors being made out of authentic wood. The Ferris Wheel of Seattle is just right outside the building and there are docks on the side that allow you to stand around and take pictures. I really like this place and I hope to take my kids here someday! read more

Miners Landing - Photo booth - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Truly enjoyed the view. Sat by the water and was able to acquire some well needed quality time, it was beautiful! Also took a ride on the big wheel, another great perk of Pier 56. Nice place to visit alone, with a partner, or with family. Plenty to do! read more

Miners Landing is a vintage waterfront original. There is always something to do here: including a carousel, many restaurants and the recently added Ferris wheel (observation pod) you can't be bored! The three stars come down to the following: Cleanliness Poor care for the building Massive construction (which is not the businesses fault, but causes a lot of stress to the patrons) read more

Came by here during winter and construction. I was happy there was some food spots open up top b/c we really didn't want to do the seafood places that day. The burger spot was okay. The boys had double burgers. My teen said it made his top 5 burger list. Hmmmm It sure looked good. The chicken sandwich my daughter had looked awesome but she devoured it. I had a corn dog. It wasn't great. It was a corndog. But they were generous with the fries. No refills on drinks. Overall it was ok. There was a fish/chips place and pizza place open as well. The views are great. Right beside the Great Wheel if you have friends going up and you want to just watch. There are shops here but we didn't have time to walk through it all. We look forward to the future with no construction to come back and check it all out. read more

Great place to visit for tourist like myself and my fiancé. Quite a bit of restaurants and gift shops. The line for the ice cream shop was very long. Cool statues throughout this clean building. read more

THIS REVIEW IS OF THE FOOD COURT UPSTAIRS (I'm sure the rest of the food places are fine). Came over from the Seattle Aquarium in search of a light, casual meal because we were starving. We should've just gone to the Aquarium cafe, which is much better. This was the most overpriced food ($12 for a cheap salad and water, $15 for fish & chips and water, $9 for a small bowl of chowder and water) I've had in downtown Seattle, and the food was AWFUL. None of us even finished it because it was that bad. Fries were burnt, fish was burnt and tasteless, the salad was just a giant pile of lettuce with a cup of shrimp and a cup of olives dumped on top, and the chowder tasted like cream mixed with salt. My friends and I felt sick for the rest of the night, even though we barely touched our food. I will make sure to go downstairs to the Crab Pot or up to Pike's Place next time I want food that's actually edible. read more

I came here for the fist time with my family. The food was good very delicious. We ate right next to the great wheel. The only problem is they only have two bathrooms. The one in the fist floor had a long line almost to the outside doors. We went to the one on the second floor. There was a line there but not as big as the fist floor. A man came into the women's bathroom. I am not kidding he walked in and got in line like he belonged there. It was so creepy we got out of there. read more

I got 2 corn dogs and a combo w fires and small drink for $12.99 The food was fair with the fries being best with skins still on them. The place is a tourist get away with a 10% tax in Seattle :0 read more

I'm traveling alone in Seattle and it's my last day. I came to miners Landing for the view and seafood. I asked for a seat close to the window and they said no. Meanwhile the next couple that walked in immediately received a view seat. This place obviously hates on single eaters. read more

I don't even know why we bother to come here. Not much going on at the food court upstairs. Pretty depressing and empty upstairs last Sunday. read more

From the outside looks awesome, as soon you walk in from the reception to the table very tourist type service you get - cheap and then the food - the most horrible looking and tasteless. Just plan nasty and not cheap $$$. You can get better quality food out of a frozen food section in your local supermarket There are better places to go spend your hard earned money on your vacation. read more

Located just below the ferris wheel on the head of a pier, Miners Landing is a scenic pick just in the heart of touristst interest. There is both inside and outside seating available, but outside on the patio is the much better choice if weather permits. The inside is rather dark and with it's maritime wooden flaire gives you a somewhat cosy feeling, which is actually not the one you are looking for at an spot on the waterfront with superb views outside. These views however are there, too, but only behind the limited window front and behind all the outside gear on the patio. This is the place - on the patio - where you should be. Even though the views are obstructed with a glass barrier that will reduce the wind chill, you still have the much nicer scenery and broader. The menu offers the typical variety of seafood classics, some salads and meats and a quite extensive drink menu with a lo of vines and local beers. We just stayed for a beer and a cup of clam chowder. The beer - a local Hefeweizen - was really nice, the clam chowder good average. Basically it was the food quality level you would expect in such a place: ok, without any reason to complain, but also nothing special, one would long for. Three stars from my point of view for an average effort in a neat location. I would have preferred not to have the glass around me with an open, unobstructed view on the sound and the landscape. read more

Love this little place, theres a cute little arcade with a merry go round, and its so fun too! Great place to visit and stop by if you have kids or are on a date! Right next to the new ferris wheel, so play some games and have fun riding the ferris wheel here especially on a beautiful sunny day! Fair priced for fair food too! $2.50 for a carousel ride and adults are free with a child under 42 inches read more

Worse food I have ever eaten. It gave my son diarrhea and myself a migraine and vomitting. We should have returned it. 24$ for soggy chicken strip that tasted old and soggy "Chips" (fries) dirty atmosphere, under construction and overpriced. Save your money and get some real good seattle food. The service was awful, too. I am sure this place is only visited by unsuspecting tourists in between the Argosy tours, aquarium and ferris wheel such as ourselves. read more

Miners Landing - The building has a old time feeling to it, pretty cool feeling. We tried food in the food court as I can't eat sea food and most restaurants are seafood. We ate at the burger place in the food court. Chicken sandwich was ordinary - frozen chicken tenders in a bun. Nothing to rave about. Fries were the worst - soggy, no taste. Seating is pretty nice - next to the great wheel and view of the water. Cleanliness was okay. read more

We rode the Wheel. If you ride the VIP car, it's $50 a person for a glass-bottom view. That's quite a ripoff, so just go for the regular-priced tickets. A shooting arcade game inside the building costs $10.50. The carousel is in a lonely corner and only costs $4 to ride. There's an ice creamery/bakery right next to the public restroom. The whole place is a giant tourist trap. I wonder about the safety at night. It was a little before 8pm tonight when we encountered a crime scene. I think a man had harassed and molested a woman. Someone deployed pepper spray. As we were trying to enter the building, we were hit with the remnants of the pepper spray. We saw the molester run out, and the security guard couldn't stop him. It was a crazy and scary end to a night that started out magically. Then as we were going to our parked car, a crazy guy scared us. Don't think we're going back to the area on a weeknight again... but just FYI, Elliot's was yummy. Would recommend that over the Crab Pot read more

Something about coming here on a weeknight makes it a little creepy. There weren't big crowds and all stores look like they were closed. The restaurants looked old and unwelcoming. Hopefully, we just came on a bad night. I'm sure this spot can be a lot better on the weekends or during a nice day. read more

So long for a little while, Miners Landing and the rest of the tourist trap collective! Been here so many times and never connected this arcade with a name! The video games are already cleared out for the big renovation of the seawall. I will especially miss the boules from the Alaska Sourdough Company and the carousel. It was jammed wall to wall people this last Saturday. Can imagine only more of the same today. read more

Please don't eat here. It's a tourist trap that you unfortunately have to walk through to exit the Great Wheel. We made the mistake of buying some food so we could sit outside for a bit. The food was overpriced, greasy, and tasteless. We felt sick from the old frying grease all day. The $3 soda literally tasted of mildew from the dirty soda machine lines and was promptly thrown in the garbage. I'm embarrassed that Seattle has such an awful tourist trap. read more

There are dusty, dead animal heads hanging on the walls, probably there since the 70s. We waited in the bathroom line for half an hour, and when we got in, we found the root of the problem. Only one of the stalls was "in order" and the lock didn't work for it. To everyone's horror, the door kept drifting open from the drafts. read more
