    This armory use to store arm. But now is a food court, museum, activity center. The lower level is a children museum. The hallway has a miniature train set. It attracts a lot of children and adults. The hallway also has a stage for show and event. The side store mostly food vendors. It is interesting to see this museum.

    There was Winterfest performance and Winter Train & Village Display. The place was full of people trying to enjoy the singing carols and food hall. There were plenty of options to choose from. But my daughter and I decided to try Matt's Fish Basket. Plenty of sitting areas as well. It was such a nice place for family to hang out and enjoy food. There was Children Museum just one level below the food mall. Great for family.

    The armory is a larger building with restaurants, restrooms, and tourist information for people visiting Seattle. I've eaten at subway here. Subway sandwiches is well, an ok sandwich. There are other restaurants but I haven't tried them. Super expensive choices. I usually come in to use the restroom honestly. Super clean and warm. Anyone I have encountered has been friendly and nice. Loads of tables to sit and enjoy your food. I think there is a good fried fish spot. Maybe I'll try it next time I'm here. A good spot for a pit stop if you're visiting the Seattle center. SYOY.

    The interior of the Seattle Center Armory is huge with various shops and a large TV for everyone to chillax.

    + Convenient food court to take a brake amidst all the fun things to do at Seattle Center, such as boarding the Space Needle and getting lost in all the museums to name a few, or to beat the summer heat. + Pleasant ambience. Bustling commerce. Felt safe. + Very spacious interior. Plenty of room to find seating to eat. + A huge TV for everyone to watch. They had a soccer game on when I visited. + Plenty of public restrooms.

    A cool food hall amid all the tourist attractions like the Space Needle and the glass garden! I got a quick lunch here in between visits to attractions and got a teriyaki bowl, which was satisfying and the service was quick. Lots of options to choose from and lots of space and seating!

    All's well that ends well stage T center theater

    This is an event space and food court with a lot of options, which is in the area of a lot of tourist attractions. It's by the Space Needle and museums. It's open 7am - 8 pm daily. There are tickets for events for sale. Don't miss a performance of the Seattle Shakespeare Company, on the 1st floor. There's also a school and a shop in the building.

    After a tour of the Space Needle in Seattle, we found out that there's a fast food place at Seattle Center Armory. It's right next to the Space Needle and after several hours of enjoying the view from the Space Needle, you have to unwind and grab some food at this place. There's a hamburger joint, Mexican, coffee shop, etc. The price is just reasonable compared to the food they offer at Space Needle. If it's your first time at Space Needle and get hungry after, come down and walk across and you'll find Seattle Armory.

    Christmas fills the air! However, the music was way to loud! The live performers were good but the volume was annoying. The food options are varied, but I was surprised to see no ice cream sold. It was December and maybe it is different in the summer. Very clean and well maintained facilities! Enjoy!

    Cool spot! The inside looks nothing like the outside. The outside is like a standard building and the inside looks much more lively. They have a lot of different types of food which is cool. And if I was by myself, I'd walk around and find something. They had a Mod Pizza and we have one at home, so I wasn't interested. I didn't get to peruse because the grands were chomping to go outside to play, but I hadn't had any coffee so I went in. But the cursory glance didn't really impress me if I were to be honest. They may have a gem in there, but I didn't see it. It may reveal itself upon a second look. I did go to Starbucks and waited longer than I ever have for a coffee drink. Too long, as in can I cancel this and go somewhere else? But if in the area, I'd give it a crack again.

    A very nice food court, lots of options and plenty of space!! Located in the Seattle Center not far from the Space Needle, I have eaten here a few times. They have Starbucks, Subway, Tacos, Wings, Mod Pizza, along with some other places. When I came here, there was a huge TV screen set up that looked like some sort of seminar was going on. This place is very spacious. It's also a good place to warm up in on a cold day, that's what we did!!

    A lot of family choices here food and fun

    A great gathering place that is a multi use facility. Restaurants, restrooms, stage area, coffee, beer, sweets, there are a lot of choices. Service was reasonable for the few places I visited.

    This place is a good idea... however.... there is a large difference between the posted hours of operation and the actual open time. We came this morning at 9am to try to get coffee from Ceres (online said they open before 8) and they said they were opening at 9. Came back for dinner because the website said they were open till 9 PM. We came at 6 o'clock and some businesses were already closed and others were closing. The seller at the meat pie restaurant said their hours change daily based on volume. This is a spacious dining area and there weren't too many people here. My chicken meat pie with rosemary cream sauce was very good. Others in my party got the fish and chips from Matt's (overpriced and just ok) and MOD pizza which was a safe bet. Would recommend during mid day hours for a variety of options.

    I went here on a Wednesday earlier this month (September) for lunch around 1pm. This food court has a lot of popular chain restaurants and has a good variety of foods to choose from. They have restaurants like MOD Pizza, Wing Dome, Starbucks, Subway, and many more! Hehe I was having trouble deciding what to eat here because they all sounded so good to me at that moment! The main reason I went here was because I was in the area and wanted to eat something before going up Space Needle. The food I got was chicken wings, waffle fries, and a slushy and it tasted good enough and filled me up. I was so happy this food court had drinks that came with lids and straws here unlike a different food court I went to in Seattle recently since I like walking around with my drinks. I also like how this place was clean and the restrooms here weren't that bad either. I'd recommend this place! There's a good variety of foods to choose from, places to sit, and the food tasted good. At this Seattle Armory place, they also have restrooms in case you need it. I just wish this place would stay open later. I tried to go here on one of the days for dinner, but they close at 7pm everyday!

    "Food court" doesn't seem to fit quite right. It's super family-friendly (I assume because of the Children's Museum); it's a neat space.

    This is every food-lover's dream....a casual one-stop shop with a wide range of eats! Among the…read morevariety, offerings include pizza, tacos, ramen, salad, poke, burgers, sandwiches and baked goods - definitely something to fit everyone's preferences! Prices here are on the steeper end but this food hall provides an elevated experience compared to your typical food court. It defies the stereotype that one would normally associate with food courts by proving that the term "fast food" shouldn't imply compromised quality nor level of service. The food I've tried here so far has been crafted with fresh ingredients although the flavors have been hit-and-miss. For example, I loved Barrio Luchador's tacos, but the Brawler Burger was a little too salty and oily, while the whole roast duck at Fat and Feathers was quite bland. Service is top-notch! Not only are the employees at each individual eatery friendly and helpful, but there's a wonderful cleaning staff that ensures the entire food hall space is well-kept and spotless. There are are at least a few employees who stroll around gathering empty plates and cups with a smile. I just wish there was room for more seating since during peak lunch time, the food hall becomes packed and it's difficult to find an open table. If unable to find a seat, each of the eateries can pack your food to go. Otherwise, this is a wonderful spot for a quick lunch, catching up with a friend or an informal meeting.

    So far, so delicious, and almost just right…read more I've been SO excited to actually eat here after passing through to eat elsewhere. We ate at Crosta and La Baguette. Drank at Dote and eyed the Burger Bar. The HH pizzas are delicious and an excellent quality and price unmatched anywhere I've seen in the area. I enjoyed the mushrooms but would have loved them fresh and not marinated. The kids were very happy with their cheese and pepperoni (contact pizza as she called it). The French bakery next door has an awesome croque madame sandwich with bechemel sauce over the entire thing (I opted for the sauce on the side and they decided to put my cheese on the side too, which was a bad choice I didn't request). The sauce wasn't even warm and I missed my cheese on the sandwich. Next time I'll say easy sauce. They have a super delicious "hot fudge" dessert that is a brownie with a chocolate and cream mousse covered with a few brownie pieces and chocolate ganache. Oh my, I'm a baker and it was delicious! Also very grateful to find a Full Tilt ice cream selection on the east side for the first time! Baby girl was so thankful to find her blue moon front and center at La Baguette. The beer menu draft list at the burger bar was very tempting for my honey, he found a couple of new ones to try. They offer pints up to growlers. Also, my honey loves his lattes at Dote Coffee Bar. They take the time to make plenty of tasty foam for me that's well flavored and decorated with a whole bear face! The quality of food and presentation is outstanding at this food court, and I can't wait to make our way around each "station" so I can speak to all of the various tastes.

There were actual shops and…read morekiosks and the food court was like a Stranger Things 80's vibe with Sbarro's and McDonald's. It really felt family friendly and the candy shop upstairs next to the monorail was packed. I remember wanting to hang out on all levels of this mall and there was Crabtree and Evelyn, B Dalton books, and so many options. I even got my ears pierced here 3 x at Claire's. The wing that connect to Subway and Taco Del Mar was also a hang out spot and it was fun to have a Seattle home base to chill. Westlake was next to Macy's, and Gap was cool back then. I didn't shop there but remember the scent of Heaven and the super perfumy scents of the 90's and Tommy Hillfiger and Nautica jackets that I wore. Jay Jacob's was the spot for Tolo and Winter formal wear and Frederick's and Nelson's felt so bougie but special. I could even get all of my specialty 90's Timberland boots. Over the decades, Westlake reminded me of a mall that was taken over by a post apocalyptic crisis. Shops were empty, the decent ones that made malls cool left such as Foot Locker, and random swap meet looking stores and other junky stores popped up. There isn't the same feel and it feels like a random hodgepodge of leftovers. I remember when Lush was in the mall and the whiff of the essential oils made things feel festive during the holidays. With so many stores and shops having to leave, Westlake is still a shell of its former felt. Who knows what it will look like in the next 10 years. If you're from out of town, I would suggest skipping Westlake. Go to Chop House Row, Melrose Market for indie and local and SouthCenter or Bellevue Square for the all American mall experience.
