Patty's Eggnest used to be an institution in the Seattle area. I remember the days in Wallingford when you could see Patty herself driving efficiency and barking orders. It was a thing. So, coming back from Whidbey, I thought 'gee, it would be fun to go to Patty's Eggnest'. I thought wrong The service was awful. I echo another reviewer's sentiment that you need to have the blonde server help you. She goes above and beyond. But that was not to be for us. We had a different server, one without the scooby sense to be working with the public. We had to wait ten minutes for a menu. Finanally, I asked for menus. Then someone came by and picked up the menu before we had even ordered. ( this is just weird) Then it took 30 minutes for food to arrive. The bacon was disgustingly cold. We had to return it. The waitress just took it without saying anything. No apology. Again, very weird. I don't think I'll eat here again. Patty's Eggnest will be a memory, but not a recommendation. read more

The food is worse than a roadside Denny's in the middle of nowhere at 3am. It's bland and prepared incorrectly. My omelette was nothing more than a thick lump of tasteless eggs. I ordered an omelet with coffee & eggs Benedict with a hot chocolate. My bill was $35. I didn't think much of it at the time but I realize now after adding up the prices I got screwed. Maybe they gave me the wrong check? I'll never find out. And if you're smart, you won't either. read more

I used to frequent Patty's Eggnest in Greenwood, but many years ago. Thought today I'd give Mukilteo a try, and it was awful and scary. Ordered the Dixie chicken breakfast, fried chicken with biscuites and gravy and eggs with hash browns. VERY Scary in that the "fried chicken" was barely and I mean barely cooked, meat was very RAW when I cut into it. Obviously I sent it back. The waitress asked me if I wanted anything else and I said I'll just go with hashbrowns and eggs and I am positive she took the plate, removed the raw chicken and gave me the same plate back. I don't think so. What is the kitchen like? probably not that sanitary read more

So I needed food before work and decided to try this Patty's out. got there at 7 and ordered a mushroom omelet and some coffee. The waitress was too busy chatting with others and forgot to fill my coffee up, this happened twice. the omelet came back as a scramble and overcooked on the outside while undercooked inside. I think the chef figured that an omelet is just a scramble that sits for a bit longer in the pan so that everything eventually holds together. needless to say I don't like uncooked eggs, or burnt eggs. so I chose not to eat more than a few tester bites (plate still full). I waited for the waitress to ask me how it was ... she never asked ... I was seated at the bar 3 feet from her. I got up and followed her to the register where she was checking out another couple. she asked if I was done and if I needed a box. I told her no box please. she then charged me full price and sent me on my way. I will never go back to this patty's again. worst service I have had in many years. read more

I'm not usually a fan of American breakfasts, but I had a craving for one that day. A couple of friends and I decided to meet at Patty's Eggnest in Mukilteo. At first I almost got lost because I called the wrong Patty's Eggnest (Lynnwood) for directions, but luckily I called Mommy Suana just in case and she sent me in the right direction. When we first arrived, I felt like it was really awkward because the shape of the entrance and parking lot were a little odd, but I thought about it and decided that it was ok, as long as there was free parking! :) We got inside, and I couldn't help but notice all of the cute little decorations; the place was filled with the most unique bird houses. My favorite was the red one. The place is cozy and the people are really friendly. We were immediately greeted and seated, then offered beverages. We were recommended to try to orange juice which was deliciously fresh-squeezed. I was really happy to learn that a small sized juice would come out like a large sized cup! :) I hate places with miniature cups. The menu was amazing, I had the hardest time choosing because there were so many amazing sounding things but I was assured that anything I chose would be good, so I chose the Hunter's Breakfast. While we were waiting for our food, the owners stopped by to offer us a sample of a possible new recipe. It was amazing! i can't wait for that to come out... mmmMmmm Apples. :) Then the food came out, and I was told that I was having a man sized breakfast. HAHA I didn't want to look like a man, but I couldn't help but eat the whole breakfast! It was SO good! All of it, from the sausage, to the amazing REAL ham slice, to the perfectly cooked hash browns. Soft and crispy at the same time without being too soggy or dry. YUM! My boyfriend had the gigantic Bigfoot's country fried steak, and my friend had the corned beef. Gosh everything was YUMMY! I can't wait to go back to try the peanut butter and banana stuffed french toast! mmMMmm~~ read more

I wanted to love this location, as it's super close to our home. However, nothing gave me any reason to ever return. Service was extremely slow; it took 45 minutes to get our breakfasts. The restaurant was hot and muggy and when we got our bill, it seemed a little high, but our order was correct. Later I asked our waitress to check it and yes, she had made an error in her addition and charged us $10 extra. Hopefully it really WAS just a mistake, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Will go to the Mukilteo Speedway Cafe for all future local breakfasts. read more

The food was pretty good, and the service was OK; my daughter and I enjoyed our meal. The only thing I didn't like was the seating / table arrangement of the dining area. I don't like bumping elbows with strangers while trying to eat my food. It felt like we were sitting in a middle school cafeteria and I'm not a fan of that.. otherwise - I'd eat here again. read more

Their chicken fried steak is homemade, not a previously frozen patty. I love that they offer either pork or beef. I've only had beef so I tried the pork. It did not disappoint! It's like a pounded thin pork cutlet. Not fatty or chewy, which is a pet peeve for me with cube steak. Also, the 6oz portion was enough for 2 meals for me, when you add 3 eggs, hashbrowns and toast. My sister had the Elvis, which is so unique- peanut butter inside French toast, rolled in crumb coating and deep fried. Served with Devonshire cream, and bananas if you prefer. She had it once months ago while visiting here and had been craving it ever since. The 2nd time was just as good! read more

Good food. Good service!! Recommend 100%!! Kid friendly, handicap access, and sufficient parking.

We stopped eating here because they only gave one piece of toast with the whole breakfast, while raising the price.

So I came here for my first time about a week ago. I ordered the salmon egg Benedict. Just an FYI, I LOVE SALMON, & I also love egg Benedict. For the first time, I decided to try them together. Man, it was good but I felt so sick afterwards. I felt so nauseous. Ill never order this again. I might try other dishes but never that one. The young man who was the server, never smiled, got the order and never showed back up to ask about our meals. Took our $$ and was on his way. read more

We used to live down the street and would walk down to Patty's every weekend. This place is fabulous and their really isn't a bad item on the menu. I'm a breakfast fan! I usually don't like sweet items for breakfast but I was curious about the Elvis French toast. I tried it and of course it was delicious but usually when I go I always go for omelets or scrambles. Eggs Benedict Florentine, Shultz's Mess, and the Mediterranean omelet. Plus they make their own bread, and freezer jams, and fresh squeezed OJ. Love it! read more

We went to the north end to run some errands and decided to stop at Patty's Eggnest. This was my first time. We arrived slightly before noon, only had to wait a few minutes for a table for 2. My husband ordered (and I tasted) the Elvis French Toast. Wow - this dish is pretty amazing - very thick egg bread, coated in panko bread crumbs, with peanut butter filling and devonshire (according to the menu) cream on top. It is delicious, but very sweet. I ordered the Bell-Town scramble, it had a variety of breakfast meats, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and onions. It was delicious! (served with hashbrowns and toast. both were great) Service was good, they kept our drinks refilled, which I liked. We will definitely be coming back the next time we are up north. And Patty's Eggnest? How about a location on the Eastside like Bellevue or Issaquah? If you were closer, we'd probably go a few times a month! read more

Great breakfast- easy to go to when on vacation. Cute little family spot and food was great. Quick and good prices!

This is an awesome place for breakfast and lunch. My husband and I eat here 2-3 times a month. The staff is very friendly and courteous. We have ran into the owners a few times and they are the greatest people we have ever met. They always make sure we know about the newest items on the menu and they really want to make sure we enjoy our meal. This week for Veterans Day, the owner is creating his version of chipped beef or in military terms, "SOS." My husband has eaten this a few times before and gives it a perfect score. I really enjoy his Belgium Waffles and his famous burgers. This is a place I recommend to all my friends and family. Also, any bad reviews you have read have been mistaken for another Patty's. You really would have to come to see for yourself as this restaurant comes highly recommended. read more

Fast service for a small busy breakfast place. Kids menu is awesome. My Benedict was great, once remade due to cold sauce. Everyone is so friendly and loving all our left overs read more

Not my favorite. Came here cause reviews were okay. Tried their signature dish for breakfast. Was over cooked a bit and dry. English muffin was over buttered with salted butter, tasted like a salt bomb. Scrapped off as much as I could but was still inedible. Will go somewhere else next time. read more

Until my latest visit, I have truly enjoyed coming to this restaurant. I want to give my local businesses support. I love having breakfast at any time of day. However on my visit June 10th, I invited a close friend to see how wonderful the food is, the tasty omelette's, friendly service, but other than the great waitress, everything else was very unsatisfactory. An employee was shouting back to the cook, the manager was scolding her employee at the counter next to us, the manager was discussing business check transactions, a vacuum cleaner was going in the back room. We made a comment to the waitress, and the volume was reduced. The eggs were overcooked.....maybe a different chef in the middle of the day??!!! I asked to speak to the manager, before we left,and I explained that it wasn't "business like" to handle business transactions and reprimanding an employee near the customers and did she have a back room to handle that. At this point she took me to her back room (as big as a closet) and wanted me to explain again my concerns. She stated that I was the first person to complain about their restaurant. (obviously not...see prior reviews!!!) When I mentioned the employee who was shouting to the cook, she took offense and said,"that is my son , so if you don't care for how we handle things here you don't have to come back". Needless to say, I was shocked at her attitude and promptly left. I certainly will NOT frequent this establishment again. If they don't change their attitude....their business will fail!!!!! read more

Wow... I have heard about the Patty's Eggnests and how they have been taking care of people for a long time. I was not too impressed by what I found. I work for Boeing and there is not much to choose from for breakfast. We tried this place and found that it was a little cramped. The service was ok at best. The only one we found to be working was the little busser and she didn't stop moving. Food was cold and kind of thrown together into a pile that did not look to appealing. We might try them again some other time. read more

Not sure what the problem with this is but our order was completely wrong and the waitress was extremely rude. She was not paying attention to anything and this was some of the worst customer service we have ever experienced. *Please note that this is not the case with most Patty's locations. read more

My wife and I visited on July 18, 2015 and we met the owner of this location, Ron. We talked for several minutes, and I advised that I was craving chicken fried steak. Since I explained that I was raised in Texas and I was looking for a good chicken fried steak. He advised that their steaks are prepared slightly different than what I'm accustomed to in Texas. I had NO idea previously that there were different styles of chicken fried steak (Midwest/pan-fried which is served at this location vs. Southern/deep-fried which is served in Texas). To ensure my satisfaction, Ron himself went so far as to cook my chicken fried steak himself! I advised him that it was very delicious and well-seasoned with a good amount of black pepper. For a party of 2, plan to spend about $25-$30 for food and drinks before tax and gratuity. read more

The only place to go when looking for an awesome breakfast. Great atmosphere, clean and friendly. I'm going back.

The place can come back off the service hall of shame. Same great bussers that have worked there for years. The wait staff is doing their job again. The food is good as always. Belltown scramble and bigfoot chicken fried steak were both terrific. Glad they decided to quit sucking again. read more

I really enjoy this place for breakfast. I come here at times when the bf (who lives in Mukilteo) & I struggle to get up and make food. Usually we come here past 12pm (sometimes past 1pm) and each time we've arrived the wait wasn't horrible. One of the first times we went, the small parking lot was full. Whom I believed was the owner saw we were circling and kindly told us about additional parking by the coffee stand (gravel parking). So that information is helpful for those looking for parking. I've actually had good service here. Nothing extraordinary but not bad at all. Can't recall the past things I've ordered but my recent order was the Patty's Eggbest Special Toast (I believe that's the name). It was basically a French toast with peanut butter, fried in panko bread, with some cream. I thought it was delicious (I love sweets), but the bf thought it was too sweet. His order (hunters?) looked good. Anyways, 4 stars mean I am a fan...clearly I am since I go back once in awhile read more

We always pass by here at about 10 or 12 times a year, on our way to and from the ferry. Yesterday because we left earlier then normal we decided to stop for a bite. Pattys was right there so in we pulled. It wasn't the little mom and pop hole in the wall we're normally looking for. The exterior and interior of the building were clean and cute, the wait staff friendly, courteous and helpful. The food was plentiful and flavorful. The heuvos ranchero was a mound of scrambled eggs (4) with peppers, onion, tomato and a chorizo sausage bursting with flavor. Tooped with salsa and cheese this oversized breakfast was on laid on top of 2 flour tortillas and hashbrowns. The wifes chipped beef on toast with 3 eggs and hashbrowns was a tad smaller, but not by much. We were both stuffed! And that was without eating everything, which makes for a long sleepy drive back to Portland. I really only have a couple of gripes. 1) The portions are really HUGE, and perhaps they already have 1/2 or 3/4 size portions available (we didn't know to ask), but they should. Also in spite of the plates being warm, and the rest of the food being smokin hot, the hashbrowns were only warm at best probably due to plating long before the rest of the meal. Overall the experience was a tastebud pleasing bonanza and we won't hesitate to stop here again. read more

I have dined at Patty's Eggnest in Mukilteo numerous times and had delicious food. The reason I am giving it three stars is because the four times I have had food delivered both AMAZON and DoorDash, the toast was warm bread with butter. I know they know how to make toast correctly because I've had it there. In the future I will make sure and specify on special instructions to please toast the bread. At this point in time I believe they owe me 4 pieces of toast, that are actually toasted. If you love your toast toasted as I do, perhaps you should specify that on special instructions when you order Patty's Eggnest for delivery, just to be sure you do get actual toast. read more

Been here three times to the one at Mukilteo. Portion is huge here. Food is good, but coffee is weak in flavor. I had the Hawaiian omelette today and it had ham, pineapple and mozzarella cheese in the frittata style omelette. Hubby had the Reuben sandwich with today's soup turkey noodle. Both were tasty and delicious. read more

Great food! Delicious huge portions. We are stuffed every time. Consistently perfect.

The BEST place to eat breakfast is in Mukilteo, is Patty's Eggnest! The service is OUTSTANDING, Ron & Sue reallly look out for their customers. They talk to everyone and make sure they are getting the best experience possible. The staff is what makes the place though , everyone is kind, friendly, and makes everyone feel welcome! The cooks are the best! They really put their all when they make every single plate. I will definitely always chose patty's over anything! Thanks patty's ! read more

Don't get me wrong, food is ok and the service is prompt. Big plate. Hand squeezed orange juice is great. But two plates of food for breakfast $50. A bit too pricey. read more

Yummy! Can't go wrong with Patty's! Anytime I'm in town I hit up Patty's eggnest. Such a great little PNW jem! Pros: super close to the hotel I stayed in while visiting Mukilteo. We were seated right away! Service was perfect! (Even with a large crowd) food was quickly placed on our table. :) I had the avocado eggs Benedict soooo delicious! Portions are always way more than I need! Doesn't stop me from devouring all of it. The only downside was the parking lot could be tricky if every space was filled. Luckily, we were able to find a spot. Can't think of a time when I have ever been disappointed with Patty's Eggnest. Delicious! read more

Absolutely the worst tasting hash browns ever. A few years ago I was a regular here for breakfast but now I am done for good. The menu overall is pretty good but the oil they fry the potatoes in is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced. It leaves a disgusting taste in your mouth that lingers for some time and taints the flavor of the eggs or whatever you have with it. Hashbrowns used to be homemade but now appear to be flat and processed. Dennys even tastes better. No more of this cheap greasy food for me! read more

This place used to be really good...i don't know what has happened...but now...i was very disappointed both in the crappy food and the lack of service as in none... mcdonalds has become a five star eatery compared to this dump..... they advertise omlets...but dont have any...coffee refill...forget it...no help in sight...and rude beyond belief if one wanders by...hashbrowns are more like potato chops and bisq. and gravy...like all out of a can...just sad...they will not be gettin any more of my hard earned cash....I.-HOP....here i come....by far more for your money... read more

First time dining at the Mukilteo Patty's Eggnest and it scrumptious! There's plenty of parking and we were seated right away. I ordered the Dixie Chix fried chicken with sausage biscuit and loaded hash browns. The fried chicken was seasoned well and moist. The eggs were cooked over-easy and perfect. Their freshly made OJ was delicious too. The waitresses was very nice and always came over to refill our coffees. They have a punch card loyalty program. After 10 punches you get $5 off the next meal. You pay up front when you're done. read more

Patty's Eggnest - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mukilteo, Washington

The best chicken fried steak and freshest tasting fish and chips!! This is worth the drive.

EXCELLENT FOOD AND QUICK SERVICE. Haley was our server. We order our food and everything arrived at our table in less than 5 mins. The food portion was huge. Haley kept checking up on us and was in point. I travel all over the country and the world and It's rare to go to a Mom & POP breakfast place have 5 star service across the board!!! So worth it!! read more

Great little place to eat. Staff is very friendly. Amber always takes my order. And always knows what I want. Even my co-workers. Something it's been over a month. When we show up. She remembers what I want to eat an drank. Will always keep coming back to this place. read more

I've been a faithful customer for years. And today, I've gotten the worst service. I ordered 5 chicken fried steaks, an veggie omelet and a few extra biscuits and English muffins. Went to get it, they charged me extra for the extras, a ridiculous amount and only gave one chicken fried steak and the omelet. When I talked to them, the last was highly rude and had the worst customer service imaginable. And I work in customer service!!! They have now lost a family of loyal customers read more

I needed a good breakfast before departing PAE and Patty's was conveniently-located to my hotel. I didn't get adventurous, but I was craving a waffle, with strawberries, of course, and the waffle was generously-sized and perfectly prepared; so I was a very happy camper after washing it down with several cups of coffee. Friendly service, too! read more

They are awesome, we eat here often, and we live near. The owner is also polite and helpful... eggs Benedict is on point also...
