    BLT and Onion Rings
    Lia J.

    Alpine is a solid restaurant, but not a place I'd write home about. It's clean and comfortable with adequate service. I like going here for bunch because they have so much variety on their menu beyond breakfast food available. Their onion rings are pretty good and their BLT is standard- middle of the road. I've also had their pancakes, eggs and sausage which all were pretty standard. Their drip coffee is okay.

    Good flavor, great portion size. Like the atmosphere. Service was nice they're really friendly. Steak was juicy and full of flavor and the house made biscuits were delicious! Will definitely be coming back!! Only think is I couldn't find drinks on the menu

    Ran into this place...looked inside and said...why not. It's a small food spot with a descent amount of seating inside. I ordered a Pancake Combo. Pancakes were kinda dry....bacon was good....one of sausage links weren't cooked all the way. I will say the cook seemed to be talking a lot on the phone and it's not a good look when my food comes out bad. I'll try out this place again and give it another chance in the future.

    Fish and chips

    A friend and I were attending an event close by and wanted to grab a bite to eat. We saw the Alpine and decided we'd give it a try. We walked in and the hostess/server said she had a booth in the bar. Super quiet up front, but the bar was popping in the back. Our beers came quickly and soon placed our order. My friend loved her cheeseburger and raved about it later as well. My fish and chips were good, and a nice sized serving. Our server was helpful and had great timing when checking back with us, with a smile and good personality! The only odd thing was a children's birthday party in the very back and had some very young children lurking next to our table for a bit. We agreed we'd both come back again!

    Maybe this is the old Noble Barton space??? I had bookmarked this spot to try the next time I trekked to White Center. We walked in to the smallish dining area and grabbed an open booth since there wasn't any sort of sign or host stand. After awhile I asked my friend if maybe we entered the wrong door since no one had acknowledged our presence at all. As I went to scope out the rest of the place, a server brought over a couple of menus. I was either going to blurt out French Dip but then saw the cheesesteak. Score for the kitchen that keeps the onions separate from the green peppers! Second plus that they had Coke products. Good sandwich and a tiny bit drippy - batter-type fries piping hot. Nice space with a good size bar, skee ball in the back, outdoor area and Big Mario's through another opening. Restrooms seem to be a free for all and I'm not sure how I feel about that. The pla We lucked out and found a parking space across the street.

    Best French Dip and their Pot Roast is to die for. The Alpine is always our go to place in White Center. You can also play Ski Ball here.

    Great food, good selection, friendly staff, cool place. Highly recommend. I got the Rueben with house salad and a Hefeweizen. Better than most places.

    Fried Chicken Dinner w/ extra gravy $16.99
    Craig T.

    I've only had the Fried Chicken Dinner at Alpine and that was enough to earn five stars. It's a crispy fry with the perfect amount of batter. It's well seasoned, not spicy, but one of the better fried chickens in the Seattle area. The mashed potatoes are from real potatoes, so that's a nice touch and the veggies seem to be fresh. You also can't beat the value of $16.99 given prices for Seattle. There's a front diner, bar half way through and a lounge in the back with some skeeball.

    We hosted a birthday party in the game room and had a great experience. From my first call to inquire about a group reservation through the event, everyone was so friendly and a pleasure to work with. Thanks to Dray for setting us up, and Colby who handled our group that night was awesome! Food and drink was perfect - wide variety of food options for everyone (especially the GF folks that don't do pizza). THANK YOU for a super fun time!

    Basic eggs, hash browns and "toast".

    Love finding cool spots like this! It's a wrestling themed bar on the south end of White Center…read more We went on a Friday early evening and there was free street parking along the street. There was not too many people and we got served right away by the bartender. They have some cool unique cocktails. I got the first one, which is a custom gin cocktail for about $15. I usually cringe at cocktails over $12 but this really was worth the $15 price tag. It was so balanced and nicely flavored and had a good strength. The place has bar seating and booth seating, and televisions all over showing football, wrestling, and more. They have a mini wrestling ring at the front, which is fun. I bet this place is so fun when they have special events. In the back they also have pinball, of course! And board games. The wall is covered in art and wrestling memorabilia which adds to the ambiance. We sat at the bar for a bit and the other guests were nice too - chatted with us, chatted with the bartenders. I think some people are regulars, which is cool. I really liked this lowkey unique bar and wouldn't mind making a trip out here again soon.

    Dinner from late 2025 Customers seem to have a love-hate…read morerelationship with Tomo, an Asian fusion restaurant, in White Center. Originally opened as a high-end restaurant with tasting menu only, the restaurant has since evolved to an la carte (optional family set), with a mix of Asian fusion and adapting to moderate-price offerings with larger portions. The owner/chef has a worthy pedigree, having worked at Canlis; Brady Ishiwata Williams presents a menu leveraging recipes from his Japanese grandmother with influences of local ingredients and other Asian flavors. The results are flavorful (occasionally salty), imaginative, and visually pleasing. The staff is very kind and helpful with menu explanations. The restaurant ambiance is streamlined modern. The Food: Klingemann Farms Pork Rib Chop, $48 - 4 Stars Impeccably covered in a tamarind glaze and served with broccolini, the pork rib chop is served slice with slices of butter lettuce for wrapping. Despite being slightly salty, it was a brilliantly prepared dish. Sablefish, $46 - 4 Stars The sablefish is seared and served with manila clams and kale. This is a 'brothy' dish, and I have to say I wanted to drink the broth. Alas, it was a touch too salty to literally drink the broth. The combination of clams on fish is unusual; they work well together. The kale hiding under the fish soaked up all the broth wonderfully. Tomo Caesar, $18 - 4 Stars Their signature salad adapts flavors of the chefs' Japanese side with bonito dressing and furikake. Lightly dressed and delicate in flavor, it is my kind of salad. Dry-Aged Steam Burger, $5 - 4.5 Stars This humble steam burger is their most popular dish, a bargain at $5. Served with caramelized onion and American cheese, it was surprisingly good, and I am not a burger fan. When we asked if we can order more (nearly closing time), the server winked at us and gifted us two more. Thank you! Albacore Taraki, $26 - 3.5 Stars Albacore slices are served in a ponzu and yuzu dressing. Delicate and delicious (but spendy for albacore). Chawanmushi, $16 - 2.5 Stars Their Japanese egg custard is served with sweet corn, enoki, and brown rice vinegar. While I love a good chawanmushi, the high-end variants all include seafood. The $16 price is very high for its ingredients. This restaurant has a 22% included service charge and no additional gratuity is requested. For the level of service we received, the 22% is legit.

    Quick early dinner at Tomo during the weekday. We have…read morereservation and were seated quickly. Bar tender was our server as well. Ordered halibut cudo and fried chicken. The halibut was fishy, not fresh. It's not a fishy fish, to get this fishy is alarming. Chicken has a hard batter shell, not much flavor in the chcken or batter, it's all in the glaze and dip. One piece was raw on the inside. Having eaten and cooked chicken for a few decades, i recognize undercooked chicken when I see and taste it. After I told my server about my chicken, the only response I got was "just so you know, the chicken is not raw on the inside". This was my only interaction I had with any server during the entire service. There is zero explaination about food when served, no checking in on the food once it's served. The pork rib was the only dish that tasted good. But it's $50 for about 8-10 oz of fatty pork sitting in soy sauce. Salmon was fishy, texture is strange and flavor is off, again leaning hard on the sauce to solve the poor flavor of the fish itself. I saw neigboring tables salad which is okay quantity for $18. When the bill came I understood why there is zero customer service, the 22% service fee is built in. I tip 20-25% regularly. But for nearly zero interaction, i could have ordered off of a ipad, have a robot deliver to my table. If you charge upscale price, service is part of the experience. The food is absolutely not worthy of returning, even at half the cost. The surrounding ethnic restaurants on the same street would provide you better food and service for about 30% of the cost.

Knowing how viral spots can get, we arrived early at 4:50 since they were listed to open at 5. By 5:30, no one had shown up. We checked their Instagram and found comments from other people who had the same experience from other days: showing up at opening time only to find the doors still closed. The owner had replied to one of those comments saying, "Life does unfortunately get in the way of being able to open right at 5 pm..." So apparently this happens somewhat regularly. Right as we were about to give up, someone finally pulled up and unlocked the place. We rolled down our window and he told us we needed to park somewhere else. That's fine. We waited a few minutes to let him get settled before walking in. There was no "thanks for waiting" or any acknowledgment at all. When we asked if they were serving food, he told us the sandwich guy "should be here around 6:30 or so," and suggested we grab a burger next door if we were really hungry. Honestly, that was such a letdown. We'd waited all day to eat, driven 50 minutes from Tacoma in the pouring rain, and were so eager to try their food, not the burger spot next door. We debated leaving but decided to make the best of it. We grabbed burgers next door, came back, and ordered cocktails. The drinks were fine, and the space itself is genuinely awesome, great vibe, super fun décor, and a lot of character. I mean they even play scary movies on a projector. Like, it's awesome. But the experience left us feeling more like an inconvenience than valued customers. I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, the lack of communication and hospitality overshadowed everything else.
