    What a nice surprise! We had an appointment a few blocks away and were craving a late breakfast. We were so glad that we gave Totem Family Dining a try. Service with a smile and we were seated immediately in a restaurant that was 95% full. The menu is better than the standard breakfast fare and has some specialties mixed in. I had the malted waffle with sausage and my wife the stuffed French toast with bacon. Both were very good. I saw biscuits going to other tables that were the size of a softball. Some covered with gravy and heaping plates that looked awesome. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. That bacon was thick cut, cooked to perfection and tasted custom smoked. We will definitely be back as this is our new favorite when in Everett

    Monday morning and very busy. Servers friendly and efficient. Eggs Benedict truly amazing. Bacon sorry no photo was thick and perfectly cooked. Sub fruit vs hash browns. When time permits we'll be back

    #35 Chicken Fried Steak Barge
    Erin W.

    We came around 10:40 am on a Friday for brunch. There was a line, and people kept coming in after us, which shows how popular the place is! The staff was friendly and courteous, and the meal portions were generous. We enjoyed the #35 Chicken Fried Steak Barge and the Stuffed French Toast very much. The facility was clean and nicely decorated with a holiday vibe. Parking was easy, as there was a small parking lot in the front.

    Burger and hash brown

    I was looking for a restaurant and me and my wife found this place; and we just realized that weekend were packed, we have to wait until table was available. First off, the pancakes were delicious and the veggie burger was good too; make sure you know what you ordered or ask your server if you don't know the menu; price wise was inexpensive therefore many people flocked in.

    In short Basic diner in every way but you might be surprised at just how good the food is--and the whole place, really. In long It's been here for decades, and it's been a couple decades I've been meaning to get in here to try it. I've gotten here a few times and seen massive lines, so it's not like I've made ZERO effort...they just get SO busy. Finally made it in at 10:30 on a cold and gray October Thursday, and still had to wait a minute or two for our table. They're so friendly and cheerful, though, and absolutely always in motion doing something. This is the kind of place that almost seems like it has been open 24 hours for 50 years or something. Partly because the activity just never stops, and partly because it seems like maybe it's been a while since they put in new furniture. They have some hand-made benches covered with, you guessed it, totems, in a vaguely Coast Salish style. Respectful enough, and not really trying to use the iconography for profit. It's just kinda some of the decor. The people here are incredibly warm and gracious. We saw a server lean over to hug a guest who hadn't been in in a while, while on the other side of our table a guest was asking our server where he had been before he moved back here. He took the time to tell her his story even though his section was full. Then the server who hugged somebody was walking arm in arm with an older guest to steady her while she got her to her table. Man, oh, man, do we need more of this everywhere these days. But the food. You get two laminated menus. The all-the-time stuff is all appetizing, with many of the dishes you see mentioned most often as favorites. We both got specials--the bennie had brie and prosciutto. This is a place that might make fun of those things as pretentious ingredients, but here they use them and use them very well. it's a rich but well-balanced bennie with awesome muffin and hash browns along with it. The Totem Hash is a legit corned beef hash with tons of veg in it. I could actually go a little meatier with it but I still ate until I felt beached. That was definitely *before* I finished the plate. Between us we ate maybe 1.2 plates of food (out of 2). The biscuit is killer--tons of flavor and aroma, big, soft, chewy. Great with little bites of hash and bennie. They do so many extra little things here. Scratch soups, scratch freezer jam. You really feel like you're in somebody's home, especially when you add in how warm and welcoming the staff is. Prices are great even before you get to the portions. Once you factor in the knowledge that you can feed 2 people with most of the single dishes here, the prices are insanely good. So many things have to go just right to make a place this great, and we need places this great all over the place. I wish we had 100 more Totems, but I surely do appreciate how lucky we are to have the one.

    This has got that old school diner vibe, you could almost imagine Flo and Mel in the background. The food is really tasty and hot when it comes out of the kitchen. The customer service is quick and the wait staff are very kind. Will come back.

    Cozy family diner. Really wish we had more of these around. People knew each other in the neighborhood, were happy and just there for quality time. Food portions were crazy large and great! Service and operation were smooth. Super friendly and they had people in and out quickly even though the line seemed so long.

    We left Everett for Seatac on a Saturday so there was aa bit of a wait to get a table but nothing unbearable. The parking lot gets packed and I felt guilty parking in front of someone's house but what can you do? Prices are about what you expect, around $20 - 25 per person after you add tip and tax. The menu is huge and the portions are fairly generous considering the price of food in 2025. The pics kind of speak for themselves. It's solid, hearty food and we enjoyed ourselves considering I hadn't seen my cousin for years, it was just nice to sit down to a nice breakfast and hang out with him.

    Ham & cheese & toast & coffee.

    Food was hot. Fresh. & good. $75 for 2 with tip. Getting expensive to eat out for breakfast.

    Totem has a lot of options. We went with the typical breakfast of pancakes and eggs. Everything tasted great! The service was nice and speedy.

    Visited Totem with my sister earlier & I'm already planning to return tomorrow lol. I loved looking around the interior at the classic antique decor & old school diner seating. It's such a vibe & a place I think everyone should come to at least once. Our server was Sonny, which is such a fitting name for him given his disposition and level of service. My sister ordered a JR breakfast which comes with one pancake, bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese. I had the #15 and opted for sausage links, O'Brien potatoes, an English muffin and scrambled eggs with cheese. For drinks we had their coffee and green tea. Everything was good, serving just enough food portion wise & was well seasoned. Pricing is also fairly low compared to other breakfast/brunch spots I've reviewed. If you happen to find yourself on this part of town give them a try!

    I have celiac disease and would like to eat there or get food to go. Are hashbrowns gluten free and can they be kept from cross-contamination? Are eggs and bacon gluten free and able to be kept from cross contamination?

    It may serve you best to call the restaurant.

    If there is a party of 5(including two kids ages 5-6 ), should I make a reservation, or how long is the wait on a Saturday?

    It is a popular restaurant so calling in for a reservation would always be a good idea. We last visited during in-between meal times and it was quite crowded.

    I see on the website now open for Dinner Wednesday through Saturday. What are the hours on those days?

    Ot open for dinner rite now. The hours are M-F from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm and Sat/Sun from. 7:00 to 3:00

    Is gluten free bread an option to toast?

    Yes. Yes it is.

    I know I came here way back in the day, but it was a different location and I remember enjoying it…read more I fully anticipated ordering breakfast as it was 9 am, but after looking over the menu I opted for lunch. Now coming in it was a little awkward as you walk in and the counter is right by the entrance just like most restaurants, but there were no signs that said wait to be seated or seat yourself. After standing there for a couple of minutes I saw people grabbing menus and congregating to the register. I was waiting for someone so it worked out well. You order and then take your number or in this case a magic 8 ball to the table(so they know which order goes where). This location is much larger than I remember. It had a very eclectic ambiance. More or less different types of tables and chairs everywhere, but gave off a homey vibe. The people that were working were very pleasant. We both opted for water, in which they had a water station for you to fill a cup and sit down. After sipping my water I noticed the glass I had was chipped and cracked, a chard actually chipped off in my hand. I took it back up to the front and exchanged it. Probably not the best idea to have all of the glasses stacked on top of on another. I ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich, in which upon ordering they had to check if they were ready to serve that. I was lucky enough that they were, although I did have a back up plan. The turkey sandwich came out with a mixed green salad with a dressing I was not sure of, but was very refreshing. The turkey sandwich on sourdough was very flavorful and I was very happy with my pick. I would definitely come back here and try more things, although the Cajun sandwich remains on my mind. One of the better sandwiches I have had in a long time!

    We have to begin by describing the vibe here -- I was picking up 80's Coffee House Vibes -- kinda…read morelike Everett's version of the Last Exit. (gotta climb in the Wayback Machine for that gem!) I loved that I saw at least six versions of my childhood dining room table, which felt so nostalgically comfortable that I wanted to crawl under one with my coloring books and my chocolate milk. But I digress -- you're supposed to be reading my review. I decided that I was in the mood for grilled cheese and tomato soup, so that's what I ordered. The tomato soup is really amazing -- so fresh tasting and delicious. But the sandwich was next level nom-ness. I opted to get it on sourdough because it's the best for dunking into the soup. Totes 'lish (I just thought I would type like one of the cool kids!! In conclusion, I want to talk about the service -- ordering was fairly simple, and the varied menu made it exciting to know there are so many choices. You order in line and the incredible wait staff brings the food quite quickly. With the vibe, the service and all the things, I am definitely coming back.

I don't know why, but I was surprised to see this amazing eatery here. The menu has beautiful fresh produce centric appetizers, entrees, salads, and more. I wasn't hungry but wanted to buy a drink anyway. The staff was busy making food and serving another family. The staff appears to be multi-functioned covering the back and the front. One of them handed us menus. The inside is modest-sized, well filled with tables and chairs. There are some seats outside, too. The Drink: Wylde Berry Smoothie, $12 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Wild blueberries, marionberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana, agave Noted as having 'Tons of antioxidants and fresh flavors', this is one of the best smoothies in recent memory. It is thick with tons and tons of berries. I don't think I need the agave since the banana gives it the sweetness. Regardless, this drink was amazing. $12 seems like a lot, but considering what it has, I think it is a fair price. I am giving it 4 stars for now. I hope to return for their food items, too.

I can say we were all pretty disappointed in this place. The staff was the only positive that we took away from this experience. Both servers that we encountered were both kind and attentive. The drinks and food however totally missed the marks. We all started off with drinks 2 margaritas, a gin gimlet and a beer between the four of us. The margaritas were terrible, like I am not sure how they put them as a feature drink. They had zero jalapeños and also offered no spicy margarita whatsoever. My wife's gin gimlet tasted like straight up lime juice. All were complete misses. Next we moved on to the food where each couple ordered a dozen wings. The X's and O's( fries and onion rings) and we also ordered a wedge salad. The wedge salad came out and idk how it was marketed as wedge when it was a bowl of salad completely engulfed in dressing(closer to soup than salad). Next the fries and onion rings came out and I'm not usually a stickler for what things cost, but $17 for like 6 onion rings and a very sad plate of fries. We expected a bit more for what we ordered for the table. Lastly the wings. While the flavoring of the wings were good, they came out not too warm to the touch and biting into them they were cold on the inside. Concerned that we may get sick from uncooked meat they assured us that they were precooked and just dropped into the fryer to finish them off. To me it is concerning that though they were precooked and still missed on hearing them all way, you may need to have a chat with your kitchen. Both of the servers were on top of it and ran both dozens back to have our order recooked. Second time around they were hot and crispy with good flavor(although the garlic boom boom wings were missing one of the sauces the second time around). It didn't matter, we ate them and paid. Not sure we will put this on our revisit list. Maybe the burgers or flatbread were the way to go, but out of 3 menu items and even the drinks.... There needs to be much more effort to everything here...
