Monte Cristo Deliciousness
Julia M.

Updating my review to 5 stars Shelly's food is delicious. I'd rather take it to go though. Called in an order for Monte Cristo breakfast with crispy hash browns. It was out of this world. with the delicious jam MMmmm..... my pickup was ready when i arrived only 11 minutes after I called it in.

Monte cristo and a couple country steak orders!

Breakfast Monte Cristo
Lindsey L.

We came here right before we had to get on a plane to fly home, there weren't too many people eating there so no wait. I was intrigued by the breakfast monte cristo. I wanted a big meal because I didn't want to buy airport food and that is definitely what I got - large portions! I wasn't a huge fan of the sandwich, I don't think the cheese was a good combo. I actually really wish I hadn't gotten cheese at all lol, but without the cheese I just knowwww it would've been good. I loved the jam it came with. My girlfriend had a pancake breakfast and it was humongous ! She wasn't a fan of the potatoes, I really liked the hash browns :) they were nice and crunchy!

Good hash browns, great jam
Ervin A.

The hash browns were good, the waitress was sweet. The jam was the star of the show. The pancake was chewy, the meat was low quality. There was a roach that popped out of the napkin dispenser, it ruined the entire experience. Our AirBnB host recommended this place, I really wanted it to be good, but unfortunately, it wasn't anything to write home about, I'm sorry Shelly...

Hangtown Fry with home fries
Morgan R.

A hometown diner, a small business -- glad to see an outfit like this in operation, and want to support them by giving them business. I went for breakfast on a Saturday morning - I started with Earl Grey tea (good, a full pot of tea using a Stash tea-bag, for only $2). My breakfast was a Hangtown Fry, and I'd driven down from Seattle, jut to try it. It came with a choice of toast (I went for the generous biscuit), and home fries (new potatoes, cut in pieces and cooked with salt, garlic and some other flavor-enhancing ingredients. The food came out promptly - the biscuit was far too big to finish, but it was fresh and good. It came with two tiny containers (one jam, one butter), neither of which were sufficient in quantity to properly cover the biscuit, so I sliced it in half, and used them on half. I'm sure I could have asked for more, but I didn't. Hangtown fry is one of my favorite breakfast dishes of all time -- I used to get it at Chinooks in Seattle's Fisherman's terminal, long after it was no longer on the menu -- but since the pandemic, they're not doing breakfast anymore (with a few rare exceptions). In any case, they set a high standard for the dish. Shelly's hangtown fry was more of a scramble than a traditional hang town fry, but it had all the right ingredients - scrambled eggs, spinach, oysters, onion, bacon. The eggs, bacon, and onions were all good. The oysters were OK, but would have benefited from separate pan frying in very light batter before being integrated into the dish. So, not as good as Chinook's used to make, but fairly decent. The home-fried new potatoes were oddly seasoned -- while they looked great (the way I usually like them), I wasn't a fan of the seasoning (I love garlic, salt and pepper, but there was something else there that threw the flavor off a bit). The restaurant itself was in a strip mall, and had booths and tables right out of the 1950s. The staff was friendly and helpful, though much like a traditional diner, there was nothing fancy about the decor or the service (the woman who waited on my table delivered food while talking to someone on the phone, then made a comment to the cook about a joke the caller had told her. So all-in-all, Shelly's was a good little joint, but I'm not sure I'll be making the trip back anytime soon. In other words, a good breakfast place for locals, not a place I would make a special trip for again. One minor annoyance - a charge for "non cash adjustment", or in other words, a credit card fee. I understand that card processors charge for their service, but at this point, I don't carry/spend cash anymore, and don't appreciate such fees. Better to adjust the prices, than nickel and dime customers with fees.

Irish Coffee and Bloody Mary
Michelle R.

The good parts: it was busy when we arrived on a late Saturday morning, usually a good sign. I ordered an Irish Coffee. They may have been short staffed - it took a good while. My Irish Coffee did pack a good punch - always good for this one-drink-buzz girl. Portions were also quite large. My omelette was quite big, stuffed with spinach and bacon. A good portion of potatoes were served with your meal. Not-so-good parts: service took awhile - they may have been short staffed. The Bloody Mary wasn't flavorful, just tomato-y. The food was okay for us, not great. Hubs ordered Chicken Fried Steak, but it wasn't his favorite. Ambiance was diner-ish. No music. Kinda felt packed in. Staff not friendly, not unfriendly, just doing their jobs. Still looking for a great breakfast spot near us!

Banana Foster French Toast Special and Fair Burger
Becky V.

Cute lil divey spot. Don't be surprised if there's a wait, they get packed fast! Love coming here regardless. Banana Foster French toast!! Just get it, trust me. Bloody Mary's are also a hit and did I mention only $5?

Brittney K.

Unfortunately we did not like our breakfast. Customer was ok, she was very nice but would spill coffee in our water every time she poured it. Grits were perfect! My husband ended up getting sick after eating the Benedict and he has a pretty strong stomach. We had to head home right after because he got sick from his food. My scramble wasn't good. My French toast was like the worse pieces of bread you could use. If you aren't picky you would probably won't mind the food maybe. I don't need it to be perfect but the cold coffee was what really ruined it for me. Refills were even cold.

Food was alright. Huge turn off was the slow service and a huge gathering of FLIES just buzzing around the restaurant near our table.

13 Coins SeaTac

Good day, Yelpies,…read more There's something quietly remarkable about a restaurant that survives not just decades, but generations of changing tastes--and still manages to feel relevant. This establishment, which first opened its doors in Seattle in 1967 before relocating to Sea-Tac in 1976 under the guidance of the original owner's wife, carries with it more than just longevity--it carries legacy. Its name traces back to Lima, Peru, inspired by Las Trece Monedas--a folkloric tale of a humble young man who, armed with only thirteen coins, pledged unwavering love and devotion to win the heart of a wealthy man's daughter. It's a fitting origin story for a restaurant rooted in perseverance, passion, and heartfelt hospitality. Half a century later, those same values echo through every plate and every interaction. The menu delivers consistently satisfying fare, and the service operates with a rhythm that only comes from years of refinement. But perhaps most impressive is the sheer ambition of it all--executing quality food around the clock, 24 hours a day, is no small feat. It's the kind of operational endurance that deserves recognition on its own. Whether you arrive for breakfast at dawn, a late-night dinner, or anything in between, this is a place that meets you where you are--and feeds you well when you get there. Cheers --The Dutchman

This is a place you come too when it's late and all the other great places are closing at 10Pm or…read moreso. I ordered the filet and it was mediocre. The mash potatoes were also very mediocre. It's not horrible if they didn't charge you $65 for this. The live music on a Friday night was not that good either. The chocolate moose was horrible The service was very good though I will say.
