I have to say, Beecher's Handmade Cheese in the airport is overrated. For a place that gets so much…read morehype, our visit was a disappointment. The food fell short across the board: Tomato Soup: It was way too sour, lacking any of the rich, balanced flavor you want in a classic tomato soup. Mac & Cheese: While they call it the "World's Best," it was just way too cheesy to the point of being overwhelming. Instead of being creamy and balanced, it felt heavy. To make matters worse, the guy serving us really wasn't very friendly, which only added to the subpar experience. Between the letdown dishes and the service, it's definitely not worth the airport premium. And it's the airport and the tables were filthy.

Food: (4/5) I'm not the biggest fan of mac and cheese in general because it gives me flavor fatigue sooo fast, but this one was really good! I've had Beechers at the famous Pike location many years ago and don't remember it being so delicious. I have no idea what exactly my partner ordered, but it was soo creamy and just the right amount of cheesy. It was so steamy that it stayed hot for a good amount of our flight as well. This is definitely something I would like to start getting more often, especially as a comfort food before something that can be physically taxing like a long flight.

Our server was amazing. Attentive and friendly. We ordered Calamari and Crab Mac n Cheese. The Calamari was great, tender and full of flavor. The crab Mac was just ok, It was bland and not a lot of flavor. It definitely has potential just needed basic salt and pepper and maybe some seafood seasoning because it really didn't have and flavor even the crab.... Other than that we enjoyed our time there and if we are ever back in Seattles airport I wouldn't mind coming here to try other menu items.

Salty's at the Sea -- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport…read more We genuinely sought out Salty's at the Sea after seeing all the positive things posted online, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience was a little more conflicting than what we had expected. I ordered the steelhead with potatoes and seasonal vegetables, while Dan ordered the crab mac and cheese. We started with the crab toast and paired everything with a Coke for me and their Tropical Tea for Dan. The drinks were good, and the crab toast was even better. Dan really enjoyed the crab mac and cheese as well. Unfortunately, my entrée fell short of expectations. The steelhead itself was good, but the rice substituted for the potatoes was hard and clearly undercooked, and the broccoli was also quite hard. The rice was offered as a substitute because they were out of potatoes, and I have absolutely no issue with a substitution--especially in an airport. But when you're paying $120+ for a meal, the sides should still be properly prepared. One other thing to keep in mind if you're traveling: we had our carry-on and personal bags with us. We were asked not to place our belongings on the nearby tables. We noticed that guests seated at some of the surrounding tables were able to use nearby tables and high chairs for their belongings, so the policy felt a little inconsistent from where we were sitting. Overall, our review reflects our experience, which unfortunately left us disappointed and feeling like the meal didn't live up to the hype we had seen online. The fish was good, the starter was good, Dan enjoyed his entrée, and the service itself wasn't the overall main issue. It was primarily the quality of my sides and the overall value that left us feeling let down. That said, maybe it was simply a bad day for them. We're not saying this is necessarily representative of every visit, but based on our experience, we left feeling pretty disappointed after having such high expectations.

The breach itself was light, airy, and crunchy but was slightly dry and hard in certain areas. We didn't get the Pho but it looked good and large bowl.

Introduction: I got…read morethe Yelp email asking if I tried Lucky Louie, so since I'm currently doing the America 250 series of American established restaurants. I'm going geographically east to west across the US with some states represented and is ending with CA, OR, & WA in that order. But I'll go out of geographic order with a bonus 2nd Washington state established restaurant for Lucky Louie. The original Washington state pick will be a chain place in Columbia, MD about 10 miles from my home. Experience with Lucky Louie: Just last week my girlfriend & I had a trip to Seattle & Vancouver, BC. We arrived at SeaTac airport on time. Our hotel was near the airport. We decided to eat in the airport before leaving security as options were somewhat limited like Denny's, Jack in the Box, McDonald's, etc. We wanted something that might be better here and/or hard to come by near home in Maryland. We walked around the airport and considered Lucky Louie as a strong maybe, but we wanted to see what was out there. We walked up to a Poke place, which was a consideration, but it looked weak, and some other various possibilities. Ultimately, we decided to go to that central area in the airport and go with Lucky Louie. We were pretty hungry after long flight and spending a bit of time walking around (as I needed to get a walk in since I was sitting on phone for 5 hours) to determine what to eat. We decided to split the clam strips for $6.99, which were fried & delicious. I was a bit unsure about how good these would be. But this well exceeded expectations. My girlfriend already knew she loved clam strips, and even said this was amongst the best she's had. We decided to get 3-piece Alaskan pollock each, which is a fish & chips. Fries were solid, but wow the Alaskan pollock was excellent. They also had Wild Salmon strips, but it was a good about $6 price differential. We both decided it wasn't worth it. Salmon is one common thing I make at home for dinner; so I never get out. Granted this was wild salmon, which is a little different, but I figured the Alaskan pollock would be a good choice and not something I could get at home/out in Maryland; maybe some restaurant has locally, but I've never noticed it. This was an excellent meal and a must try for people going to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Cashier was nice too. We definitely had some great meals on the trip, but it was a bit downhill after that. Lucky Louie was the single best meal/food experience we had on the trip. We had some other 5-star meals, but some service issues at the excellent food places that in a couple of cases might lower to 4-star even if food is a 5. Interesting Side Notes: Lucky Louie was specific fishing lure from the mid 20th century made in Washington. Before going through security to fly back home, I glanced at the wall, where it mentioned musicians from each decade. For the 1950's, it mentioned the Kingsmen smash hit "Louie Louie". Although the song was a #2 hit in 1963; it was a cover of a 1957 song by Richard Berry, who performed in the Seattle-Tacoma area and was a local hit song. Further, in 1985 there was an effort to replace Washington state's song to "Louie Louie", which failed but was an interesting effort. Not sure if the song was perhaps a secondary meaning of the restaurant's name song in addition to the fishing lure brand.

I didn't see his name, but the Asian guys with a hat and a sleeve of tattoos was quite rude and dismissive. When we asked for our fires to be put out, he made a dissatisfied face.

We thought he'd come back after helping that customer so we waited. He never came back. Thankfully one of the female waitresses there was attentive and nice when we asked! I understand that everyone has bad days and he may have just been tired, but it honestly wasn't that busy compared to some other times and they had a lot of staff working too. I think I was more taken aback that he made eye contact with me and just completely ignored me even though we were patient. The beef bowl.. there were some obvious switches with some ingredients. But I understand, everything is getting more expensive. Just thought I'd point it out for new customers. BP is my comfort place, so this experience was a little upsetting. I hope it'll be better the next time I go back!
