    Unknown sandwich with cole slaw
    Frank D.

    Group of 15 for lunch at 11:30AM when they opened. Service was fast and efficient and there was no problem with separate checks for each individual or couple. I had a Phila. cheese steak and my wife had a cob salad with fried chicken. Both were excellent although the cheese steak was served with au jus which seemed a bit unusual. Cheese was not Swiss but it was tasty. Rolls were what you would expect, not just bakery white bread. I had a "mystery beer" which came in a brown paper bag for $5. I got a brown ale that was very good. I took pictures of some of the other dishes our group ordered. Sandwiches came with fries or a generous portion of coleslaw. Some of the cleanest unisex restrooms I have seen. This is one of many highly rated restaurants in Issiquah so they have to be good. I would come back.

    Ladies room is large. Diaper station across from toilet. Clean.

    Stopped in for lunch on a sunny Seattle day. They have a good size outdoor dining area and people were taking advantage of it on this fine day. As the outside was full, we dined indoors in an area of booths to the left of the entrance. A larger area full of tables is off to the right, as are the restrooms. A bit of bar seating is available as are some high top tables nearby. We were greeted at the door by a person who appears to be the only FOH employee during our visit. He brought us to a booth, gave us menus, and took a drink order right away. There are quite a few beers on tap listed on boards over the bar. Suggestions were asked for and given. The menu is pub food. The interior is clean, however there is also a bit of storage going on in there. Not sure it they just had a delivery that needed to be moved or if this is usual. Our waiter was very pleasant and patient. The food was good quality and everyone was happy with their choices. The beers very much enjoyed. If you are a beer fan and are looking for a laid back, low key, bar/pub experience, this is a good option with food. A fair size parking area is out front. Restroom and dining room were clean.

    TGIF, checking out their Happy hours after work. It was not crowded when we first got there but it did get crowded. Parking is not that big because parking is for all businesses. It is not big happy hours food options, we ordered sample platter with Cheese curds, onion rings and chicken fingers. The onion rings were crispy, not too much batter, and bite size. The 3 pieces of chicken figures were okay, not dry and the batter also were not thick. My coworkers said cheese curds were good. We both go little cheese burger. It was good size for me. The bun was moist and meat patty not over cooked. Service was good. She came checked on us. It is like bar setting with a lot of booths with TVs. You can watching the games from most seats.

    We enjoyed sitting at the bar and having a burger and beer! Love their interesting burger combos and great seasoning on their tater tots! Highly recommend!

    Solid restaurant with quick friendly service, great tap selection, and an affinity for sports. Caught the Ms game here on Saturday, food and crowd were great!

    I recently visited Sunset Alehouse, and it's safe to say it's now one of my favorite spots in Issaquah DT! Known for their fantastic burgers and vibrant happy hour menu, this place truly lives up to its reputation. Their hamburger was delicious. The patty was juicy and perfectly seasoned, served in a toasted bun with all the fixings. We paired it with crispy fries, onion rings, tots & nachos from the happy hour menu- comfort food at its finest! Their happy hour menu is unbeatable, with mix of discounted drinks and small plates. I loved the craft beer options, creative cocktails and the local wine. The vibe was casual yet lively with multiple sports TV screens and staffs who made sure we were taken care of throughout. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or unwinding after work, this spot hits the mark. Also plenty of free parking spaces in the front. If you're in the mood for a burger and a fun happy hour, don't miss Sunset Alehouse. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. Bon appetite!

    Fried chicken sandwich - amazing flavors with just the right amount of hot honey

    Excellent fried chicken sandwich, tots, beer selection and Thai chicken sliders (which I turned into a salad since they took the lettuce wraps off the menu).

    French Dip
    Jonelle T.

    We've probably driven by this place a hundred times and never gave it a second glance since it's tucked in a corner next to the Dollar Tree. It's not much to look at from the outside and the inside is definitely on the divier side of things. My husband and I popped in for lunch recently and were pleasantly surprised by the food! It wasn't super busy during lunch time and we just made ourselves comfortable in a booth. We had the buffalo wings, french dip and the reuben. The wings were some of the best we've had in recent memory. They were super crispy and the buffalo sauce had the right amount of heat/tang. My reuben was spectacular. Corned beef, sauerkraut and thousand island sandwiched between two pieces of crispy, buttery bread and complimented with a side of tots. Yum. My husband's french dip was also good, but I thought the roast beef was a little on the dry side and the au jus was a bit salty for my liking. Overall, a great causal place to drop in for a beer and some quality pub food.

    Grinder

    Love this place- nothing like it in Issaquah! A cute bar for adults with TVs for sports, large dining area for kids & a patio area outside. We wanted a great lunch with drinks & that's what we got! My husband & I love the grinder & chop salad to split- the grinder is amazing every time & the chop chop salad is so delicious too- plenty of food for two. Our friend was with us so he got the cerviche- so fresh & delicious with crispy corn dippers. My husband usually gets one of their beers on tap, I get a glass of wine & our friend gets vodka soda. Everything is reasonably priced, generous portions & excellent service- a must go to in Issaquah!

    The Black Duck is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant and bar in Issaquah. I can vouch for the…read moremushroom burger and the duck pizza, as well as some of the whiskey cocktails. The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

BLT (4): good thick cut bacon on toasted bread. Decent as well. You can add the works (all fixins) on anything. I'm glad I tried these other items but I'll probably stick with their burgermasters in the future. One detail I'll note during our last visit is their dine-in line management needs work. There were 2 lines forming without any coordination. One inside and one out the door. They need to have more clearly marked lines or some sort of management in place or you may potentially wait unnecessarily long. I still love the dining options though. Inside, in your car, or takeout/drive-thru. They even have warmed lockers to keep your food warm in secured lockers until you pick up. Nice new facilities! Overall, this has become one our favorite burger joints in the area. we'll definitely be back.

    We stopped in her last month and tried Burgermaster for the first time…read more The parking was not ideal, the spots they did have were incredibly tight and there were too many people and not enough spaces so people were double parking along the curb. It almost deterred us from stopping here altogether. At one point, I said it wasn't worth it and we should just go somewhere else, but my husband eventually found a spot. I liked that they have a lot of outdoor seating. We bring our little dog everywhere with us so that it important. It was also later in the afternoon and the huge Burgermaster logo on the building did a great job of providing shade. There were a lot of bumps in the service portion of our visit. The staff we interacted with seemed young and inexperienced but I am guessing they are still working out the kinks. A gentleman sitting at the table next to us outside got very angry that they did not take his name down correctly and kept calling for someone else, so his meal was just sitting there getting cold until he went to check. I had my husband wait inside after that and it was a bit chaotic. They weren't incredibly busy or anything but they just all seemed to be learning at the same time. The staff did try joking with us to lighten the mood but it was a bit awkward. We ordered a double baconmaster with onion rings, a mushroom burger with fries and a Tom and Jerry shake. It was $45 before tip for 2 people which is kinda crazy for fast food but we had high hopes. The burgers were standard and totally average as were the onion rings. I would give them all 3/5 but I thought the fries were above average. They were cooked and seasoned well. The shake was delicious. 5/5 all day, but it was so small. We asked for large but were told there was only one size available. They are missing out by not offering larger sizes and it makes zero sense. If I had known they what I know now, I would have ordered two shakes and some fries. I might come back when they are more established, even though my experience was left plenty to be desires because I think there is definitely potential here.

Time to Drinks: 8 Minutes Time to Order: 23 Minutes TL;DR Pros: Good portions and a decent burger / Cons: Very, very pricey! We arrived around 8:30 PM on a Thursday evening after hiking Mount Little Si and were promptly seated and served. I got a Rockstar burger, and paid to upgrade the normal fries to truffle fries. I got some sticker shock from the burger price at first, but they do include fries in the price so it's not as insane as it looks at first glance. I would say the truffle fries are definitely worth the upgrade, but only one person really has to do them - the portions are massive! We got a mix of sides to share. The onion rings (four to an order) are large and crispy. The tater tots were decent. I'd say the truffle fries are definitely worth an order if you are with a group. Definitely ends up a bit pricey at just under $60 for two drinks and a burger with the upgraded fries. I'd say if it were 20% cheaper or if they had options to order burgers without the sides to share one order of fries/tater it would be solid, but it is a bit pricey for what it is.

The economy is rough right now, but 2 burgers and fries, onion rings and a milkshake ended up being hella steep for the lower quality and it's hard to justify a return visit.
