Stopped by for Sunday brunch and the restaurant was absolutely packed, so we were pleasantly surprised that the wait was only about 10 minutes. Everything we ordered was excellent -- especially the coffee, hash skillet, and crab Benedict. The homemade raspberry jam was so good I ended up getting a small container to take the leftovers home with me. The coffee cake tray going around to tables also looked amazing and definitely caught our attention for next time. Portion sizes were very generous, and the service was quick and genuinely friendly despite how busy they were. It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch, but the quality, portions, and overall experience made it feel worth it. read more

Food: the Irish Skillet was very good. I just wish that they would use higher quality bread for their toast. My fiancé liked the chicken fried steak, although he said that the sausage gravy tasted like it came from a can. Service: outstanding from start to finish Ambiance: clean place; booths could be updated, as they are rather well-worn read more

I have visited this location a few times throughout the years for brunches and lunches. They are attentive with their service and wait times are reasonable. I never really felt compelled to write a review until now. I ordered the Woodin Creek salad two weekends in a row and had to comment on the missed quality of the greens. The first time I ordered the larger portion and was discouraged to order it again, so I got the smaller portion hoping the quality could be better controlled. I always order dressings on the side and it truly is for this reason alone, you can observe the freshness of the salad bed. This was from the salad this past weekend but the one prior was no different. Having to eat around my food, having it placed to the side and our servers not addressing the clear quality issues is disheartening. Green goo in our salad is a no-go for us. read more

Had a nice breakfast and great service! Menu is tough because I want to try it all! I went with the sausage gravy Benedict which comes on a biscuit with a sausage patty. It was good but the patty was kind of a letdown, I wouldn't get it again. The potatoes were delicious though and my poached egg was perfect. Wife got the potato pancakes with eggs and bacon. Very tasty, she really enjoyed everything. read more

Rusty Replican is absolutely worth waking up early for! The owners clearly take pride in their food, and it shows in their service here too. Everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. My friends and I actually got up early just to try it, and it was so worth it. Great flavors, great care in every dish, and a spot that really makes you appreciate the effort behind each plate. Core memories were definitely made here. read more

Such a cute cafe. Love the decor. Long wait time on the weekends & no reservations. They also have a policy where they do not seat your party until everyone is there. Now that makes sense if the majority of your party is there but if just one person is missing and you've got five other people I really feel like they should seat you. Unfortunately, we didn't know this and one of our party members was quite late so we had to stand outside in the cold for a really long time waiting. We did eventually move in, but it was very crowded and we were kind of in the way. Service was good and the food was good as well They have a pretty extensive menu. I had the Nutella strawberry and banana crêpe. It was good and I like the fact that you cannot get crêpes everywhere. Next time I might try out the French toast or the eggs Benedict. They were also able to split the check which was great and very helpful for having a big party. I would definitely come back and also want to check out some other other locations read more

I've been coming to this location for years and always enjoy the variety of brunch items they offer. This time, I visited around 11 AM on a Monday. It's a popular spot, so we waited about 5 minutes for a table. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had expanded their seating area. The staff, as always, were friendly and efficient in serving our food. We appreciated the choice of sides and the generous portions of our scramblers. The restaurant was nicely decorated with Halloween themes. I'll definitely be back -- this is one of the best brunch spots in the area, in my opinion. Parking is easy since there's a parking lot. read more

Rusty Pelicans is the classic brunch place in town. Been to the Edmonds location many times, but this one is much closer. We went early and was able to snag a 4-top without a wait. The place was packed, but we knew what we wanted. 1) Fiesta skillet with soft poached egg. This was really good once you load up the hot sauce. Only wish I had some avocado to go with it. 2) two eggs any style with bacon. I really think this place has one of the best bacon around town. Don't want to skip on this! 3) Strawberry and banana crepe. We ordered the half size and it was huge. However the kitchen kept messing up the order. Asked for tropical sauce on the side, but they covered it with the tropical sauce and gave the Nutella on the side. After it was remade, it came with no sauce, no whipped cream. Did not turn out to be enjoyable. Their lemon curd crepe was good in the past so our 10-year old had hopes for this and it was disappointing. 4) kids 1-egg breakfast. Solid and satisfying, My son asked for bacon, but got a sausage link instead, One thing to note is they do not have hash browns. More like lightly seared potatoes.,..hit or miss if they are crispy. If you are expecting hot/crispy potato then be warned you are at the wrong place. If you want a solid breakfast/brunch spot, this is the place. Overall, I will come back and hopefully it will go more smoothly then read more

Recently stopped for breakfast with family. The resturant is spacious with a friendly vibe. The food was good. Had the crab Benedict. I would say the crab was a little bland. The rest of the dish was amazing. The best part of this restaurant is the staff. They where amazing. My kid didn't like her crepes and they where happy to replace with something else. Super friendly and helpful. read more

What a wonderful spot. Everything was delicious. The bread you get when your seated was kind of dry and flaky, not sure if that how its supposed to come or not as it was my first time here, but all in all was really good. I'll be back. Service was great as well. read more

We had not been back to this location since 2014 (we don't go out for brunch very often). We have eaten at the Edmonds location a few times and enjoyed it. I came here with some girl friends and had a lovely brunch. I got the chicken fried steak and it was delicious. I asked for my eggs to be over hard and they were fully cooked. I added two crepes (for an up charge of $5.95) and they were excellent. They have an amazing fresh raspberry jam (I think it came for my friend who got a biscuit). I tried a bit and it was so good. I will ask for that next time if it does not automatically come with the crepes. I forgot to ask for the potatoes to be crispy. So I took those home as leftovers so I could crisp them up. And the restaurant is double the size it used to be. It is pricey - but overall it was delicious. read more

I know that yelp says they don't remove reviews, but I am 100% positive that I've left a five star review for Rusty pelican before. I remember writing it after I found out that they roasted their own coffee beans. Does anybody else have that problem? I noticed a review I wrote for a hotel has also been removed Anyhow, I had to get out of my house due to some remodeling going on, so I decided to take myself to lunch. I ended up at Rusty pelican and I am so glad I did. The chicken souvlaki was amazing. It was tender, flavorful, healthy, and it came with a Greek salad that was absolutely delicious. It was exactly what I was in the mood for and the serving was big enough that I could've easily shared it or made it dinner instead of lunch. Service was impeccable from the host to the girl who poured my water, to my server- I wish I got names, but honestly, everyone there was absolutely fantastic. I love that everything is made from scratch, too. It's a family run business and the kindest people. Exactly who you want to support. read more

My family and I went here for Father's Day! The service was so professional and put together and then food was great!

I have been to the woodinville location before but this was my first time at the mill creek location. The ambiance is super cute! It was all decorated for Halloween and the decor is great. We came on a weekday and it was pretty packed but we didn't have a wait. We had to wait quite a while for our food to come out (20-30 minutes) and it was lukewarm when it did. Maybe we caught them on an off day but for a $60 breakfast for 2 this wouldn't be my first pick with other options in mill creek. read more

I ordered egg benedict and french toast. Staff checked on our table to make sure we have all we need. Very nice service. read more

A perfectly fine breakfast spot with food that won't ruin, or make, your day. The worst thing you could say about Rusty Pelican is that the food is not elevated. We went for a Sunday brunch and the dining room was perhaps 75% full. We got seated right away. When the cran-Marnier mimosa came out, my eyes told me it was made with fake juice and it was undermixed. Upon tasting it, it was all those things, but it nevertheless tasted inoffensive. On the other hand, I'd avoid the homemade buttered rum - way too rich as served; basically required me to mix in all the whipped cream to get it close to drinkable. I was far happier with the garden skillet: Eggs, potatoes, veggies, and a dense, moist biscuit. This was just hearty. read more

We came in for lunch about 1:30p and usually the service is prompt, friendly, and helpful but today even though we were seated quickly, it took quite a while for someone to bring water or check in at all. We asked the person who brought water what the soup of the day was and she said as she walked away "I don't know I'm not a server, they'll be with you soon." Even if you're not a server it seems like knowing the soup of the day would be something helpful to be aware of; it was lentil by the way. The ambience is classy casual with black and white decor. This was the first time I ordered hot chocolate (usually coffee for me) and it was good but it tasted exactly like Swiss Miss Marshmallow mix, complete with the tiny marshmallow floaty bits. I just expected a higher caliber of quality considering that of their other offerings and prices. The potato pancakes are exactly that, fried hash browns and they're perfect. The half sandwich and salad combo seemed a bit on the thin side, it left us feeling a bit flat and desiring. read more

I went with a group for brunch/lunch from my apartment community. We were seated immediately and the staff was so polite and accommodating. The food was excellent. My only complaint was the pricing, not for the food selections but most noticeable it was $5.25 for just a cup of coffee if you wanted one with your meal. I had fish and chips and there were four pieces of fish and the fries were some of the best I've ever had. read more

Wow! Awesome brunch spot after church on Sunday. There were so many things on the menu I wanted to order but alas I could only choose one. We are from out of state so I won't be able to try more. The French Toast was the bomb. Servers were fantastic and on top of everything. If I get back again I want to try the Gyro. Thanks! read more

I love the vibe and decoration here. It feels good. I think that is one of the reason I keep coming. For drink, I love their hot chocolate with the cinnamon cookie. The service is amazing. Every staff that passed by, they were courteous and asked if I need something to refill or simply check on me. (It's not like most places, only the assign server who would help). Thanks for the wonderful service. You guys worked as a team. The only downside for me is the price. Expensive. Wish it's not that expensive. read more

Great spot for brunch. I like how tastefully appointed the decor is. My young daughter repeatedly requests to go here for dates with me because the servers are always so kind to her.

Waited 30 mins to get a table. Busy place. The serve was nice and took our order quickly. The mimosa did not taste like there was alcohol in it, for $15. I'd like it to taste a bit stronger than just juice. The pelican cheese potatoes are perfection, definitely ordering those again. Their regular coffee by the cup is decent. The variety of baked goods they offer seems too similar to the free bread you get at the table. Very loud due to how popular it can be. read more

As far as the taste of the food, it was wonderful. We ordered the cinnamon swirl French toast and a crab Benedict with potatoes to go. The hollandaise sauce was DELICIOUS.

I recommend this place minus the hair! read more

Nice decor inside, very spacious. Food is just ok, very pricey for the area, and really small portions. Appreciate the complimentary bread but it was rock hard.

So the food was good, but the customer service was bad for second time in a row at this location. First of all, they brought me the bill before we finished eating, seems like they are trying to get us out quickly and they were not that busy that does not feel to welcoming.

The service was very fast and friendly. I came in super hungry after work and man they got me with the coffee cake platter. Yum. Super glad they did too, that was the best thing I had there. Mimosa was expensive and came in a glass with ice and straws. Weird. I had the eggs Benedict and it was just ok. Holidays sauce was kinda bland, needed more lemon maybe. Potatoes very plain. Idk I like seasoning on stuff. I guess I'm just expecting higher quality to aline with the higher price point. It was fine, not great. Lasty the atmosphere was of the mark for me. Fake plants, reproduced art. Music super quiet. I think if they had some real plant life it would be better. Maybe that's just me. A place just doesn't feel cozy without real plants. read more

Amazing ambience and crowd. The atmosphere of this restaurant really gives an upscale place. Currently they have a sort of Halloween themed. Some really good candy and chocolates up for the grabs right now. Our group had Fish and Chips, Omelette and Biscuits, Scrambled eggs, Sunny side up, Hot chocolate, tea and juices. The food was not a bit blander but it was really good. The only thing a little disappointed was the fries that came with the fish and chips - they were not very crispy. Otherwise everything was really delicious. read more

I liked this location better than Edmonds because it is a lot bigger and slightly less crowded. We all went on a Wednesday around noon for brunch. We didn't have to wait, but it was pretty crowded for a weekday afternoon. My friends from out of state were a bit surprised by the prices, which are higher than some other places, but the servings are big and the food is good. I got a seasonal coffee, which I was pretty excited about, but it was pretty basic at best. Not worth it. The service wasn't wonderful during this visit. We asked for napkins and refills that never came. This location is in a strip mall with a parking lot. Edmonds location has only street parking. It's a good place for a dependable mid-week brunch. read more

We had a delicious breakfast at Rusty Pelican. The menu had a large variety of breakfast staples to pick from. I ordered one of the combos that came with French toast. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the eggs were well cooked, the sausages were great, and the French toast was perfect. The portions were huge, I couldn't even finish. It is a little pricy, but didn't seem different from what we paid for similar breakfast We had a great server who took care of us. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a monochrome theme. We will be back! read more
