    Brunch diner near the eastern end of the main street, on the corner of the intersection. Pretty busy for brunch on a Sunday. Definitely the busiest restaurant on the street at that time. Had to wait 20 min for a table for 4. Small-ish interior with the classic diner counter seats and also a few tables. Has a small outdoor area in front. Down-to-earth diner look, with some artwork by local artists on the walls. Standard diner menu, with breakfast items like omelets, benedicts etc on one side, and burgers, sandwiches and drinks on the other. I got the steak and eggs. Eggs, hash brown and toast are pretty standard, hard to get those wrong. The steak which was a 5oz sirloin was better than I expected. It was actually cooked to medium, not chewy and had decent flavor. There was enough food on the $19 plate to fill up. Food was served in reasonable time. Did take a few attempts to wave down someone to take our order and get the check, probably because it was busy.

    Delicious spot. We got there before the crowds hit since there was a protest. Very cozy and our waitress was so sweet. She was great.

    This place is terrific! Super close to the ferry dock. It was an hour wait, but worth it. They have a bunch of toys and games upfront for kids, which is absolute genius and I don't know why every restaurant doesn't do it. We played sushi go while waiting for our meals. The muffin of the day was a chocolate orange and the flavour was terrific. We got the breakfast burrito, which was enormous and I had half for breakfast and half for dinner that night. Citrus French toast was my favorite. The kale salad had a very strong olive flavour so make sure you like olives before you get it. Really like this place and will probably make it our go to when we go to Bainbridge

    Streamliner Diner is a cozy, friendly spot conveniently close to the Bainbridge ferry. I've been twice and the menu is simple with plenty of good options. The first time I tried the Potato Deluxe -- tasty, but the hash browns were a bit too soft for me since I prefer them crispy. On my second visit, the waffle was delicious, simple, and exactly what I wanted. Overall, great location, quick food, and a comforting, homey atmosphere. I'd happily come back. Friendly service as well!

    Best Breakfast ever!!! You gotta try the Biscuit's and gravy, it's definitely different than the rest. Onions for sure. The staff was so welcoming. It was already 3pm (closing) and they let my group another, like it was "no big deal". Thank you for that. Derreck, Seattle Mayor 2029.

    We were looking for a quick brunch spot on an early Sunday morning and decided to try the Streamliner. It's a diner. It's got diner fare. Not a lot of seating inside, but with some nice outdoor spots when the weather is nice. We had no problem getting a seat when we arrived. Something worthy to note: they have a lot of vegetarian options (noted by VEG on their menu). They're also downtown and quite close to the ferry terminal. I ordered their Basic Breakfast (2 eggs, toast, muffin or biscuit), and my girlfriend ordered their breakfast burrito. The Basic Breakfast was what it was called: basic. I got the biscuit, which was tasty, especially lathered with butter. Bacon was slightly overcooked. Eggs were fine. I got some pico de gallo on the side, which was all right (not spicy in the slightest.) My girlfriend's burrito was kind of a brick. There's no other way to describe it: rectangular, and fried in a pan. It was also quite dense and dry. She did not enjoy it.

    First time visiting Bainbridge and first time in this diner . I was a bit disappointed 'cause there were not too much customers --that led to us waiting for more than 30 mins to get our food,excluding waiting to get our orders . Also, the service needs more orientation on how to set the customers' table and needs improvementif dining . But then , the food has its consideration --it was good Space is well decorated yet too narrow...

    Cutest breakfast spot in Bainbridge. The breakfast burrito was the size of my head! Have a biscuit and fresh jam while you wait for your breakfast and wash it down with delicious coffee.

    Amazing biscuits! Even if you aren't a biscuit and gravy person, get one on the side and ask for jam.

    I don't think they take reservations. When we were there, it was first come first serve.

We just recently came for a smash burger and the very delicious spicy Southern fried chicken sandwich and their stand-out fries. A couple of old-fashioneds went with this perfectly. The drinks were perfectly strong. We used to come for their burger night and get a chick-pea burger that was so savory and tasty. I didn't see it on a recent visit, but perhaps it will rotate in. Also among our historic favorites: BLT: my child's favorite one of all time A delicious tomato-based Italian beef soup with a thick slice of artisan bread It feels casual but special and is a great place to relax on the Island.

Where has this bit of heaven been all my life? The eggs perfectly poached little pillows, rich hollandaise, and huge pieces of king crab that make this dish a GAME CHANGER IMO. I'm eccentric I know but trust me. Try it. Safe to say my update was long overdue, as Cafe Hitchcock has officially earned its permanent spot for me when visiting Bainbridge! 5 stars!

The food is decent and the view is really nice on a pretty day. When they said 20 minutes for a patio seat for 5, we were in! Less than 20 minutes later we were seated on their deck. We ordered a variety of plates and everyone said their food was decent. I got the prawns and shrimp, which was tasty because you don't find that back home in Texas.

I love the managers and some of the long term staff. Today I decided to give it another go. Now, I'm going to say this KNOWING I'm insanely picky. I ordered the sashimi tuna tacos with no coleslaw. It was DRY - ZERO sauce. I dumped all the tuna into one little pile. I should have taken a picture. It was less than 1/4 cup of Tuna. Nearly $20 bucks. I took ONE bite. It was grizzly and tasted NOTHING like tuna sashimi. It just tasted like old fish. They were gracious enough to take it off my ticket. Then! Let's talk about the VOLUME ON THE TV! They've NEVER wanted to be considered a sports bar. Game is on but the volume is minimal to none. OMG. Tonight it was RIDICULOUS. I asked the bartender to please turn it down. She did, a little. But. When I'm YELLING across two feet at the bartender, she can't hear me and I can't hear her?!?! Then she kept talking with her back turned ‍. When I asked if she'd turned down the volume? She said "I did, but commercials are always louder in case you left the room". After paying $25 dollars for ONE glass of wine, I couldn't take it anymore. I send dozens of tourists here EVERY WEEK. I think they'd be fine. However, I won't be back anytime soon.

I was eager to return to this establishment, since I haven't been here in a few years. Regrettably, today's visit was a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be good again? THE ROSES: TMD is a restaurant I dearly want to like a lot more than I do right now. For those who are retro fans, the dining space, which is an impeccably restored authentic diner, is a real treat. Restrooms are clean. The staff, while sometimes rather confused, tries hard and is pleasant. THE THORNS: It's the food, stupid. This establishment, which used to serve authentic diner cuisine now seems to be excessively 'interpreting' dishes, and they're too derivative for their own good. The most egregious example was the Chicken Fried Steak, which was battered and fried *chicken* smothered in sausage gravy. Note to the owners/chefs: they call it Chicken Fried STEAK for a reason. I ordered the biscuits and gravy instead, which was uninspired. The sausage gravy itself was quite good, but the biscuits, which they boast about, were dry and hard. I get better out of a tube of Pillsbury 'Grands' buttermilk biscuits from the grocery store. My wife's Joe's Special was also a disappointment: the chunks of overdone ground beef appear to have been diced of bits of Sysco hamburger patties, and the dish was assembled with indifference. The tomatoes were uniquely flavorless, and the whole dish was rather under seasoned. On top of it all, a request for ketchup (which should always be at the table in a diner) was forgotten, and I was still billed for the more expensive CFS rather than the Biscuits and Gravy I ended up getting. Also sorely missed were the Bloody Marys. These were a highlight. Did they decide not to renew their liquor license? THE VERDICT: All in all, a once stellar homage to diners has slid into overpriced mediocrity. The building is the same, but the soul is gone. If you want a true diner experience, I suggest you ride the ferry over to Seattle and visit either Voula's (U District) of The Chelan Cafe (West Seattle). The Madison Diner is a DINO (Diner In Name Only). Neither recommend nor discourage. Your results may vary.
