    Side of bacon & toast.

    Cute little family restaurant near SeaTac. Great service, huge menu & portions, quality food.

    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 breakfast sandwich. Half and half.

    Fast friendly service. Great breakfast choices. It's a lovely neighborhood spot. Can't wait to go for lunch!

    Monte cristo and a couple country steak orders!

    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!

    Found this place while traveling and had a layover in Seattle…read more The vibes and atmosphere is amazing I loved it here felt like a local pub that's not located in the airport. Our server was amazing. Attentive and friendly. We ordered Calamari and Crab Mac n Cheese. The Calamari was great, tender and full of flavor. The crab Mac was just ok, It was bland and not a lot of flavor. It definitely has potential just needed basic salt and pepper and maybe some seafood seasoning because it really didn't have and flavor even the crab.... Other than that we enjoyed our time there and if we are ever back in Seattles airport I wouldn't mind coming here to try other menu items.

    Salty's at the Sea -- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport…read more We genuinely sought out Salty's at the Sea after seeing all the positive things posted online, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience was a little more conflicting than what we had expected. I ordered the steelhead with potatoes and seasonal vegetables, while Dan ordered the crab mac and cheese. We started with the crab toast and paired everything with a Coke for me and their Tropical Tea for Dan. The drinks were good, and the crab toast was even better. Dan really enjoyed the crab mac and cheese as well. Unfortunately, my entrée fell short of expectations. The steelhead itself was good, but the rice substituted for the potatoes was hard and clearly undercooked, and the broccoli was also quite hard. The rice was offered as a substitute because they were out of potatoes, and I have absolutely no issue with a substitution--especially in an airport. But when you're paying $120+ for a meal, the sides should still be properly prepared. One other thing to keep in mind if you're traveling: we had our carry-on and personal bags with us. We were asked not to place our belongings on the nearby tables. We noticed that guests seated at some of the surrounding tables were able to use nearby tables and high chairs for their belongings, so the policy felt a little inconsistent from where we were sitting. Overall, our review reflects our experience, which unfortunately left us disappointed and feeling like the meal didn't live up to the hype we had seen online. The fish was good, the starter was good, Dan enjoyed his entrée, and the service itself wasn't the overall main issue. It was primarily the quality of my sides and the overall value that left us feeling let down. That said, maybe it was simply a bad day for them. We're not saying this is necessarily representative of every visit, but based on our experience, we left feeling pretty disappointed after having such high expectations.

    On a Sunday late morning, instead of going to have some breakfast brunch in Tacoma at Denny's (my…read morefavorite grand slam breakfast), the family decided to eat at this classic nice restaurant. There's no parking so we had to park on the streets around the area. The decor is very nice and classic. I liked it. The breakfast menu has everything you can ask for. The service is excellent, attentive and fast. I ordered the French Toasts with bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs. The french toasts are thick and the best I've had anywhere, very moist and flavorful with maple syrup. The egg benedict looks desirable. Yes, it's only a classic American restaurant New Orlean Style but the ambient and decor make it's nice and enjoyable. Too bad that I wasn't there long enough to try the Southern Cuisine. The place is loud, so everyone can talk to their heart desire and no one would care. I think it's a great Sunday Brunch for any family. The prices are quite reasonable IMHO.

Honestly, after that meal we were already talking about coming back for dinner again because there were SO many other things we wanted to try. So this time we came back for BRUNCH, and y'all... the Shrimp & Grits were GOOD. But the real surprise for me was the Country Fried Steak & Eggs with that jalapeño gravy. I did NOT realize I needed jalapeño gravy in my life like that. That sauce was EVERYTHING! The drinks were solid, the vibes were good, and the service was great. The desserts were probably the only thing that didn't really wow us they were kinda mid BUT honestly, everything else was easily a 10/10 in my book. And YES... we're definitely coming back. There are still too many things on that menu I need to try! BRUNCH TIP: If you want brunch, make sure you go between 9:00 AM-2:00 PM. Dinner starts at 2:30 PM, because they switch over the food/menu around then. So if you're looking for somewhere to eat, come with us! I'm always down for a good food adventure, and Back Sundays is officially on my "we need to go back" list. Food: 10/10 Vibes: 10/10 Drinks: Solid Desserts: Mid Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY.

After seating ourselves and being greeted by a server (unfortunately I did not capture her name), we both opted for the fish and chips. I can't recollect a time when I had a bad experience with a fish and chips order, so I was optimistic that we were in for a treat. Less than 15 minutes later, two large plates consisting of four fish planks and a healthy serving of fries were being delivered to our table. Biting into the fries I thought, "these are hot, but taste like nothing." To obtain some form of flavor, I had to douse them in ketchup. Hoping that the same did not apply to the fish, I took a bite of one of the planks...no flavor as well. To give it some form of flavor, I had to saturate it in vinegar and use a healthy serving of tarter sauce. I understand that some restaurants are hesitant to pre-season food due to various preferences and allergies. However, I have never consumed food that tasted like what I would imagine the flavor of paper would be. The customer service was good...but if this was an indication of how their other meals taste, I can't honestly say that I could make a return visit.

My husband and I were visiting the Burien Farmer's Market and decided to stop in for lunch here. The day before our area experienced a heat wave. Apparently this effected this place of business. There were fans going everywhere, no a/c in place; I was hesitant to enter and I should have gone with my instincts. It wasn't awful so that we couldn't stand it, so we stayed. We had a very friendly waitress, wish I could remember her name but she was very good. I ordered a peach tea and my husband ordered a cider, I believe it was pineapple and another fruit based. I ordered the Ahi Taco Wrap and my husband ordered the Luna Fish and Chips. My husband's drink arrived with an apology from another server as she poured the wrong drink for him. He was gracious and took it anyway. Out come our plates. I tasted my husbands fish and found it seriously lacking in flavor; nothing great here. Now let's get to my Ahi wrap; I had serious issues with this.This includes tuna, avocado, cilantro lime coleslaw with chipotle aioli and lime on the side. House made chips and salsa were included. The wrap was hugely disappointing. The ratio of tuna to coleslaw was seriously off. 90 percent of this wrap was coleslaw. The chips weren't fresh and the salsa was just ok, had a sweet type of base, which I don't like in my salsa. The lime included was stale and I couldn't get a drop out of this. The chipotle was so so. The coleslaw had no distinctive cilantro lime flavor. This dish was entirely disappointing and priced at 19.95. Never again. My husband's dish had two pieces of fish and was priced at 18.50. So after the cost of the drinks, the meal was over 60. Shame on us for a few things: 1. For not looking closely at the prices 2. And for most importantly, for simply not grabbing a decently priced hot dog at the farmers market. I'm positive this would have been better and a better deal. We will not be back to this place. The only reason I gave this a one star was for the waitress and the peach tea. Seriously.

The Spam and eggs were simple but done just right--crispy, salty slices of Spam paired perfectly with fluffy eggs and rice. It's comfort food at its best, executed with care. The Portuguese fried rice was the standout. Packed with flavor, it had that perfect balance of savory, slightly smoky, and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite felt hearty and satisfying, with generous portions and well-seasoned ingredients that made it hard to stop eating. Overall, this spot turned out to be a hidden gem in the middle of the airport. What started as curiosity from a tempting aroma ended up being one of the most satisfying meals of the trip. Definitely worth stopping by if you catch that same irresistible smell.
