    Busy brunch spot. Plenty of free parking in the lot but this place gets busy so we made sure to stop by after 1pm so we could get seated and not wait over 30 minutes in line. We waited 5 minutes on a Saturday around 1:15pm. The staff seemed stressed but were still efficient. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I enjoyed the bar seating they had and the nice decor like the bike on the wall. For food I was sooo excited to try the Almond Crunch French Toast as thats why I had this place bookmarked. Sadly it was a bit disappointing. The French toast was a bit burnt on the bottom and lacked the nutmeg or any sweetness or flavor the menu states it will have. Almonds I know will be a French toast that is on the less sweet side however it tastes so bland like where is the brown sugar or nutmeg? No nutmeg or brown sugar detected. My eggs over medium were made perfectly though and the sausage was good. For the prices being high and the food being standard I and the person I dined with agreed IHop or Dennys would've been cheaper and better or about the same quality food. Family Pancake House Redmond is my preference in Redmond still and the best cafe diner I've been to. This place is alright but nothing special.

    Nothing you can complain about - except maybe insane wait times. We waited for 90 minutes for a table of 2. Highly recommend Egg Benedict. 4 star for food because the vegetables omlette probably had no salt at all. You can customise pancakes - really recommend trying simple pancakes with pecan. It was a new experiment and loved it. Our server was really sweet - she made a mistake of getting omlette with bacon but she got us a replacement like within 5 mins. Also gave us $5 off from check.

    classic diner vibes so large portions with basic breakfast items but they do everything really well. go to team lunch spot in redmond and the service has always been good for us as a big group. after trying more of their menu, many of their items start to taste similar to each other but that just means it's all yummy.

    Superb brunch spot in Redmond! This is a local chain and each restaurant is decorated with a different theme. Lots of families and groups at this spot, creating a lively atmosphere. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I always struggle to choose between sweet vs savory. I went with the Triple Fruit French toast this time, but there were so many other options to try! Service was great even though the restaurant was very busy. Note that they may add auto gratuity for larger groups!

    classic egg benedicts with buttermilk pancakes

    Classic breakfast/brunch/lunch diner a plaza a little bit north of Redmond city center. Typical American diner type of decor. Mid size interior divided into a few sections. Very busy on a Sunday. They have an online waitlist that you can use so you don't have to wait at the restaurant as long. Menu has the usual like pancakes, eggs, burgers, sandwiches etc. I got the classic egg benedict and picked the pancakes for the sides (hash browns being the other choice). You can get a half portion or full portion. Full portion gets you the two muffins with ham and runny poached egg on top, with a healthy slathering of hollandaise sauce. Their sauce was pretty good, and so was the ham. Pretty good egg benedicts overall. Got 3 pieces of buttermilk pancakes which were pretty fluffy. Comes with creamy butter, and syrup which is warm and very watery, but was sweet enough. My friend got a half portion of the corned beef scramble, and it tasted decent and good amount of food for the "half" portion". Overall bill including tips was about $50, which is typical these days in the area.

    Great little old achool diner place. Extremely friendly staff and good coffee. I love how they have a half omellete version which is nicer than the full omellete option. Veggie omellete was great and the pancakes were not bad! Would highly recommend!

    Gorgeous decor, friendly service and yummy food, a perfect win! This place tends to be packed so make sure to join the waitlist ahead of time. The staff is generally able to accommodate any food swaps/ dietary restrictions which is a huge win! I got the California omelette and swapped the bacon out for broccoli! Omelettes come with a side of either hashbrowns or pancakes. If you're going in a group, I recommend at least one person getting the pancake side to share for the table! Portions for the pancake sides are generous! Also kid-friendly and comes equipped with crayons and coloring sheets!

    Best brunch place in town! They can split the day lates in two for sharing. Join in the line through their website to avoid the long wait. The only pancakes are so great! It comes with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Also love the corn hash. Everything is delicious!

    Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
    Porter I.

    The diner whole place is very cozy and traditionally styled. Service was direct and minimal. Not super welcoming for a first-timer, but we can't complain too much. The menu is very nice and has many Mexican breakfast dishes which I love. We went for the classic, diner-type breakfast. The Biscuits with Sausage gravy were a 3/5. The biscuits were dry and the sausage links both in the gravy and on the side were a little bland but good meat quality. Eggs were cooked to request. As for the eggs benedict, we enjoyed it! The sauce was creamy and smooth but we'd have preferred it to be a runnier egg. The avocado and fruits were fresh.

    Best place for breakfast in Redmond! If you're ever craving a hearty tradition breakfast, village square cafe is the perfect place!

    This is hands down my favorite spot in the city of Seattle. It feels like a nice quiet diner. The wait staff was doing their best to handle the rush and I think they did an amazing job. I ordered the monte cristo with a side of fries and it was everything that I could ask for. The food was filling and I loved the strawberry jam sauce. I wish I lived near this place so I could come back all the time.

    Hey, I was thinking of checking this place out, but I wanted to ask if you have any vegan items on the menu?

    Sadly, they do not have vegan options on the menu. You I could probably order black coffee, toast and fruits, but that would be about it. Unfortunately I don't know of any vegan options in the area, but good luck with your search!

But unfortunately, just like when I first tried Coastline Burgers in Kirkland, I thought it was A-O-K. Some positives of Coastline Burgers are that there's dedicated parking right by the building, is centrally located to the park, Redmond Town Center and other businesses downtown, and the friendly staff and outdoor seating. Again, the stone house building that Coastline snagged is truly a win for the place since it's one of the few historic buildings still standing in the area. But when it comes down to the actual food, the reason why you come here, I can't say I was all that jazzed. I ordered the classic burger with an extra patty, fries and a side of ranch. Is it weird that the best part of my meal was their house-made ranch? I know my ranches, and this one slaps. It's zesty, creamy and flavorful, which is what you need for dipping. This made the skinny fries all the more tolerable. However, I should say that in general, I'm not a fan of skinny fries where you need to grab a bunch to chomp on. But they're decent. They were crispy and freshly fried, so that was cool. But the burger was the biggest disappointment. I think the bun to beef ratio was off, tasting more of the dry bun than anything else. The beef itself was not bad, but wish it was just a tad more seasoned, especially to cut through the dry bun. But it was juicy and not well-done, which I liked, including my dog! Overall, for getting a burger in downtown Redmond in a casual spot where you don't have to wine and dine, Coastline Burgers is one of the few options to do so, if not the only one...question mark? If you're willing to spend more and not in a hurry, I'd recommend walking over to one of the restaurants around that serves a quality burger.

It felt lively without being too loud, and the staff was welcoming from the moment we walked in. The food was the highlight of the night. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but more importantly, everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. You can tell they focus on quality ingredients instead of overcomplicating the menu. The flavors were bold without being overwhelming, and each plate felt like it was made with care. Service was just as impressive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and checked on us throughout the meal without making us feel rushed. The timing between courses was perfect, which made the entire dining experience feel smooth and enjoyable. What I appreciated most was how everything came together--the atmosphere, the food, and the service all complemented each other. It's the kind of restaurant that's great for a date night, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a quality meal with family or friends. Woodblock is the type of place that reminds you why dining out can be such a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu, and it's an easy recommendation for anyone looking for one of the best restaurants on the Eastside.

The "+add brisket" option which costs $10 on top of the Mac and Cheese was the driest I've had in many years. They also removed menu items like duck chicken liver mouse which were really good.

I got the combo - Hawaiian chicken + karaage requesting extra salad instead of rice, as well as a half order of loco moco. It's nice that there is half order as a lot of Hawaiian restaurants tend to be full orders so it is incredibly hard to try a variety of options if you're solo or in a small group. The Hawaiian chicken and karaage both are juicy and delicious. It's great that the combo is the same price as the standard individual options so I got to try more variety without paying extra. I looked at the reviews and opted to remove the rice and get extra salad which was a good move - their chop chop salad is very delicious with a nice balance of dressing, cheese, and ham. I still had some rice from the loco moco, which was sufficient for me. The loco moco is good - I wished the patty was a bit less tough but the gravy and egg make up for it. Overall, great value and great food. I'd be a regular if I didn't live so far from Kirkland (1 hr drive for food can be challenging in busy schedules)

When a lady takes the order, she usually interrupts me at the "double baconmaster " and asks if I want onions pickles and whatever. So I have to say no, and say "no lettuce no tomatoes". She then asks again to confirm about onions and pickles etc. NOOOOOO I don't want anything more, just listen to what I want!!!
