I was driving by the neighborhood and came across Pete's Egg Nest. It had good reviews, so decided to give it a try. Unfortunately food is average, blend flavors, and the quality of ingredients is so-so. I ordered the Swedish pancakes and veggies omelette and both were ordinary. Service was great and ambience was ok. A place that I would not get out of the way to try. read more

This little diner was perfect ! It was packed but they flipped tables quick ! The food was so amazing I did not have patience to take a photo. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs it came with a side of biscuits and gravy ! The actual chicken fried steak was bomb ! The gravy was one of the best I had around Seattle. The biscuit was amazing , had a buttery , savory taste. The girls enjoyed their pancakes , I tasted them , they were great as well ! The family and I found our new breakfast / brunch spot when in the area ! read more

Street parking was easy. It was packed on a Saturday around noon. Doesn't help that the inside is small to accommodate as many diners as possible. If you are concerned about COVID/physical distancing, I would recommend dining outside or taking your order to go. It took several minutes for anyone to greet us, then the waitress informed us to write our name down on the notebook in front. We waited 15- 20 minutes before we were seated at a 4 person table with an extra chair for our 5th member. Once we ordered, our food came out within 10 minutes. Portions were generous and fairly priced compared to other Seattle breakfast spots. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast, no complaints. Everything was good but nothing particularly spectacular. Pete's fits the bill if you are looking for a no fuss, hearty breakfast! read more

Great little breakfast diner. Can get crowded but good value and meets expectations for a weekend breakfast!

Visited Pete's Egg Nest for an early breakfast on a Friday. We were seated quickly, and brought menus and water. The decor is homely and comfortable. It feels like you're eating in a kitchen at home. I ordered their breakfast burrito and my girlfriend got the egg and sausage platter. My hefty burrito was filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, avocado, and bacon. It came with salsa and sour cream, and it was filling and delicious. The hash browns it came with were delicious as well. Portions are generous, we were able to eat our leftovers after a long morning hike. Service was quick and friendly. Good spot for breakfast. read more

This small shop is in a nice neighborhood with not much signage out front. Very friendly and attentive staff. I stopped in early, just after opening and ordered the avocado toast. This comes with two poached eggs on top but I request scrambled. Everything was perfect! Fresh avocado, topped with scrambled eggs on whole grain toast. I will definitely be back for this during my trip! read more

Small Town Breakfast in Greenwood One of the best breakfasts in Seattle Come here for a classic small town vibe in north Seattle. Sit at the counter and chat with the absolutely amazing and generous staff or enjoy the cozy dining room with fun and colorful chickens decorating throughout. Have a cup of coffee and enjoy your pick of delicious breakfast items. I recommend going early on weekends as the wait list can get long but the staff are fast and wait times are usually fairly short. Though you will probably have to wait outside as there isn't a lot of space inside the restaurant, so you might want to bring an umbrella or a jacket if it's a particularly drizzly day. The food is delicious and flavorful, everything you could want in a classic breakfast place. My wife loves their rotating French toast specials, she looks forward to the flavor of the day every time we go (her favorite is the raspberry). My go to order is the breakfast burrito and I personally think it's one of the best breakfast burritos in the city. The salsa is so delicious and garlicky. They also have excellent chicken fried steak with a rich and flavorful gravy and home made biscuits. I've only ever had one disappointing item here and it was a special breakfast croissant sandwich. It was just very plain and simple. I can't say enough about how excellent the staff are. They work so hard and do such a great job. They always make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. They make my family feel special every time we go and they remember us and our orders each visit. They truly are what makes this a restaurant I want to return to again and again. Also note it is street parking only, so parking can be limited, especially during weekends. read more

It's been a while, but we've always had good food when we went. Generally got breakfast food... Scrambles, pancakes, that type of thing. Food wasn't outstanding, but it was good. I remember the service was good too. And since so many breakfast joints have disappeared (including Patty's Eggsnest), I'm very glad that this one is still around! read more

Love this place!!! Amazing food, cozy setting, and very kind employees. There is usually a wait, especially on the weekends, but it went by quickly when we went. Their Swedish pancakes are definitely a must, and I was very pleased with their special egg scramble that had gyro meat, tzatziki, and a pita underneath! Perfect place to go for brunch. read more

I'll definitely be returning! I can't believe this gem exists, and that I hadn't discovered it sooner. It surpasses most breakfast spots in both quality and value. The prices are reasonable for a budget, and there's absolutely no compromise on flavor. read more

A classic, tight-spaced, breakfast-style restaurant. It's not quite worth going out of your way to visit, but it has everything you need and you can't go wrong. Nothing memorable, just basic, wholesome food. read more

First time here - what a great experience. Service was quick and efficient without rushing. The food and portions were excellent. I had the frittata special that was so very good, the flavor was so spot on. We also had one of the scrambles that was described as the best the person had ever had. We had a gluten free person with us and they had plenty to chose from. I am sure there are many places to chose for breakfast but we will be back for sure and based on how busy it was, many thought the same. Enjoy! read more

Awesomeness! The food was delicious and portion sizes were on point. There were seven of us and not one of us was disappointed with our meal. We ordered a few different scrambles, kids meals, and I ordered gluten-free French toast with some beautiful fresh fruit. Many of their dishes are naturally gluten-free, but I can't verify if they are celiac friendly. I have a moderate allergy and had no issues. We were met with friendly and accommodating staff, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. This is an awesome place to bring your kids. I was so thankful to find this place that didn't feel uptight or cold; it was a breath of fresh air. read more

We came in around lunch time and luckily we were seated quickly with no wait. We ordered the Breakfast Burrito and Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. This place is the best bang for your buck breakfast and brunch spot I've found so far! The portions are huge for the price you pay. The burrito was delicious and packed. I loved the chicken fried steak as it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! And the biscuit that came with the chicken fried steak was amazing! The staff were also super friendly, highly recommend! Lastly, there is some street parking, and small parking lots nearby you can pay for $3 for 3 hours of parking :) read more

Great place for breakfast and good prices. Just don't sit by the door. You'll freeze if it's cold out lol

This is the best breakfast I have had in a long time! We got the breakfast on a biscuit and requested over medium eggs (the menu says it comes with scrambled eggs) and the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. The gravy was really delicious and the hash browns were perfect. The pancakes were fluffy yet thin with a delicious lemon ricotta topping and fresh berries on the side. We hope to get the chance to come here again!! A side note, the service was very slow. We waited 5 minutes to get a drink order taken and another 20 minutes after that before a server came over. Nobody ever checked on us until the check was brought over. Luckily the food made up for the lack of service. read more

The chilaquiles are the most terrible I have ever tried, dry and the egg is super horrible... the French toast with the cheapest bread and tasteless. I hope they add a little bit of real Mexican flavor. read more

These people know how to cook food. Everything on the plate was made right and was very tasty and full of flavor; it's what you look for in a good restaurant. I used to work in the food industry and I'd recommend everyone in Seattle to try this place at least once. Well done, this is a jewel of the neighborhood. read more

Greta brunch spot! Highly recommended. There was a 20min wait but many people behind us got a table instantly. The service is pretty quick. Drinks order was taken as soon as we got seated.We ordered the Benedict and French toast. Both were delicious.

This is my favorite breakfast spot because they're pretty much always open lol. Everything I've tried here food wise was pretty delicious except their steak and eggs - that was okay. What's fun is they have SPECIALS! They had a crab Benedict at one point which was delicious:) and they had a pumpkin pancake special at one point too which was a nice change in flavors. Overall nice experience and I keep on coming back:) read more

So a friend was in town from Amsterdam that loves to go out to breakfast. It's my least favorite meal to go out to but for her I made a sacrifice. And I am so glad I did! She had the Breakfast on a biscuit. Scrambled egg & sausage patties on a split open biscuit topped with country gravy & cheese with a side of hash browns. My husband would absolutely get this when I take him there next time. I had the Farmers scramble asking to substitute the green bell peppers with spinach & got my hash browns served on the side so they could stay crispy. I was impressed by everything. Food foremost, service secondly and thirdly cute ambiance of a farmhouse kitchen/dining room with lots of chicken decor. Only "problem " we had was finding parking. Had to circle the block a few times before finding a spot. read more

We did brunch here today. It is a lovely place! They are fast and it's a very neighborhood friendly place. A couple of tables outside. Great for friends gathering, family brunch with kids, or a morning brunch date! Menu is great . They have great French toasts and eggs Benedict. We got lobster tail eggs Benedict, biscuits with gravy on the side, and chicken fried steak. Big portion, comfort food. We enjoyed it! Will be back soon and I recommend this place for brunch! read more

Oh boy this place was an absolute treat. We snagged their last available outside seating before heading out for a getaway via ferry. This was such a nice start to a little mini vacation. Service was absolutely wonderful. So kind, and they didn't at all forget about us outside. Cheery and helpful and quick on the coffee refills. No espresso here, coffee snobs, they're diner style coffee only, and it's dark and plentiful and will wake you the heck up. The menu is pretty large, making it challenging to pick with all the good choices. My date and I split the lox benedict (generous portion with three) and the swedish pancakes. Both were absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The lox were amazing and the berries on the pancakes... I could eat here every morning. read more

Food is like Denny's food. I've been here three times including today's visit. I went to restroom 7 times after I had breakfast here. Either their Chorizo or Artificial Strawberry Jam was bad. Chorizo was grey color, ground and their fruits were bad, especially strawberry. I always wondered why there's a line out the door every time l passed by. It's because there's not enough number of breakfast places near this place and this place is small! Quality wise, portage Bay is way better although each item is $3-4 higher. They have FRESH fruits and meat. ( strawberry Jam was not real and butter was margarine I think ...) read more

My favorite brunch spot in Seattle!! My husband and I eat here at least once a week. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Everything we've tried has been delicious. My favorite is The Egg & Us Pancakes Combo. Some of the best pancakes I've ever had!! Great portion sizes. Such a cozy spot in Phinney! If you're coming on the weekend, there will likely be a wait but they turn over tables super quick. Busy spot for good reason! read more

Pete's Egg Nest is my favorite breakfast spot in the area! I'm a total sucker for classic breakfast food with huge portions, and Pete's does not disappoint. I usually come here with my partner on the weekends around 10 or 11, and the wait isn't too bad - usually 10-15 minutes which is a lot better than other brunch spots. Their menu is pretty classic breakfast food with omelets, scrambles, pancakes, etc. but they also have a pretty extensive section of mexican breakfast items like migas, chilaquiles, and huevos rancheros. I absolutely love the chilaquiles! They're so good and come with so much food, especially with the hash browns and bread. I always think I can eat the whole thing but I get absolutely stuffed and usually can take almost half back as leftovers. Also, the service here is so good! Everyone is so sweet, which makes me want to come back even more. read more

Pretty busy on a Sunday at 11:30am, good portions and everything looks amazing as soon as it comes out. Only issue was out of 4 of us, 3 of our orders had minor errors (bacon instead of sausage, scrambled instead of over medium, rye instead of sourdough) and then they almost forgot the cinnamon roll and brought it out later. Very friendly staff though. read more

Amazing food and Big portion. I had the chicken fries steak and it was delicious! The service was good.

A great classic breakfast joint, and the food was delicious. The staff was so sweet and accommodating, and it's a cute little place to sit and have breakfast. Small outdoor seating area as well! I didn't order alcohol but it looked like they had some breakfast booze options, and I would definitely return to come try some of their other options! I couldn't even pick which sounded best. read more

We went here on Easter for breakfast. Their service was quick to sit us and make the food once ordered. It took longer for a waitress to take our order but almost every table was full. And they were quick to come around and refill coffee and water. Despite it being so busy the atmosphere was still enjoyable and it was not too loud. The majority of the seating is 4 person tables so it may not great for larger groups. They also have some limited bar-style seats. For the food, the huckleberry French toast was fantastic. It was clearly made with a different batter because the toast was pink and had the sauce on top as pictured. But note that this was one of the specials that day. The strawberry French toast on the regular menu did not come with any sauce. It was just topped with strawberries and came with butter syrup. The bacon and hash browns were also very good but not on the crispy side. So if you like them crispy I would specify that when you order! read more

First of, the trata I purchased was fantastic. The baked dish plus the hollandaise sauce were so, so delicious and salty - the lovingly cut up fruit balanced it out so wonderfully. Everything here made me happy, and I especially loved the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry sauce - they really rounded out a fantastic meal. This restaurant was not only delicious, the staff was kind and welcoming. They really helped elevate the experience and altogether the food + excellent service = an extremely happy customer! read more

This is my second time coming here and I will have to say the price for the food you get is a SUPERB deal! We came during prime brunch time (which is when I went) you have to wait outside and the wait time wasn't bad, we only had to wait 15-20 min for a table. My boyfriend, our friends, and I sat and I ordered a coffee which btw someone walks around with a pot of fresh coffee and that's amazing cuz they always ask if you need refills haha We kept running out of water and kept asking the waitress to refill our cups. I ordered the breakfast burrito and when I got the breakfast burrito, it was filled, but not super full where everything is falling out and making a mess. The red sauce that come with the burrito gives it a very zesty taste (I also added some hot sauce). I thought it was very tasty ! My friend and boyfriend got the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs Breakfast and they are big boyz, they can eat a lot. Both where defeated by this dish and had to take it home so I guess all I can say is that it's a filling and delicious dish! The country fried steak is crispy, but the BEST was T H E G R A V Y The gravy makes it the chicken fried steak go from 10/10 to 100/10, for all you gravy lovers, def try this dish! My other friend got the bacon cheeseburger, great if you got pickey eaters because they put the pickles and tomatoes on the side. In addition this place also has a bus stop right outside, bus 5 so easy public transportation! I only have 1 complaint. The space is kind small and so is the space between tables and chairs, meaning you really gotta squish in there. Also I forgot to take a picture of their cinnamon roll, but you haaaave to get that if you come to Pete's Egg Nest. Not only is it ginormous at a good price, it tastes amazing and highly recommend read more

This is a local cafe that I went for breakfast during a weekday, cozy ambiance. Had a "Bacon and Cheese Omelet". Service was very good and welcoming. My omelet was very tasty and filling. A good way to start out the day. For portion size I would say it was a good value for the money. No parking lot, only street parking. You can tell it's a local hit, they seem to get a lot of returning locals, the server seemed to know everyone. Traveling from out town and in the area decided to drop in, I was glad I did. You should too, you'll be glad you did. Oh ask about the special pancakes, I missed out. Guess I'll have to go back. read more
