Food was great, wait staff was very attentive (even though it filled up right after we got there), and the atmosphere is fun. If eating out is going to be expensive no matter where you go these days, you want to walk away full and satisfied and we were! It was extremely reasonable considering the quality! So thankful. Bacon, sausage and french toast were AMAZING!

I've been going by this place for years without realizing how good it is - I missed out!…read more We went on a Saturday at 9:30 and it was already bustling, although we were seated right away. We ordered the mole chilaquiles and the churro pancakes and were pleased with both dishes. The mole was great and a huge serving, and the pancakes were three huge fluffy pancakes with ice cream and whipped cream - we could each only eat half and now we've got leftovers- yay! Pancakes also came with eggs and three huge pieces of bacon that managed to be both thick and crispy - delicious. Service was super fast and friendly. We will certainly be back!

On a Sunday late morning, instead of going to have some breakfast brunch in Tacoma at Denny's (my…read morefavorite grand slam breakfast), the family decided to eat at this classic nice restaurant. There's no parking so we had to park on the streets around the area. The decor is very nice and classic. I liked it. The breakfast menu has everything you can ask for. The service is excellent, attentive and fast. I ordered the French Toasts with bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs. The french toasts are thick and the best I've had anywhere, very moist and flavorful with maple syrup. The egg benedict looks desirable. Yes, it's only a classic American restaurant New Orlean Style but the ambient and decor make it's nice and enjoyable. Too bad that I wasn't there long enough to try the Southern Cuisine. The place is loud, so everyone can talk to their heart desire and no one would care. I think it's a great Sunday Brunch for any family. The prices are quite reasonable IMHO.

Okay y'all... we went BACK to Back Sundays for some classic eats, and this time we brought my…read morecousin with us because apparently one visit wasn't enough. The FIRST time we went, we ordered from the dinner menu and when I tell you... EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD. We got the Jambalaya Grits BOMBBBB!!! The Cajun Chicken Pasta good. The Strawberry Chicken Arugula Salad refreshing and flavorful. And the Shrimp Delight another winner! Honestly, after that meal we were already talking about coming back for dinner again because there were SO many other things we wanted to try. So this time we came back for BRUNCH, and y'all... the Shrimp & Grits were GOOD. But the real surprise for me was the Country Fried Steak & Eggs with that jalapeño gravy. I did NOT realize I needed jalapeño gravy in my life like that. That sauce was EVERYTHING! The drinks were solid, the vibes were good, and the service was great. The desserts were probably the only thing that didn't really wow us they were kinda mid BUT honestly, everything else was easily a 10/10 in my book. And YES... we're definitely coming back. There are still too many things on that menu I need to try! BRUNCH TIP: If you want brunch, make sure you go between 9:00 AM-2:00 PM. Dinner starts at 2:30 PM, because they switch over the food/menu around then. So if you're looking for somewhere to eat, come with us! I'm always down for a good food adventure, and Back Sundays is officially on my "we need to go back" list. Food: 10/10 Vibes: 10/10 Drinks: Solid Desserts: Mid Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY.

Fried okra Strawberry lemonade and sweet tea. Everything was fried to perfection fish and chicken were crispy and juicy! Red Beans perfectly cooked! (Hate watery beans) And it looked beautiful. I mean check my pics. My only gripe and the only reason i did not give 5 stars .... the food was not seasoned. Not a spec of salt or spice. No pepper, no garlic powder, no onion powder, no cayenne. We were very confused lol I'm hoping it was a fluke because everything about this place is great . Especially the people who run it. So we will be back and hopefully the food will be seasoned because thats literally the only negative i have to say.

Service was fast and attentive. The lady was really sweet to my grandbaby. She let my grand…read moredaughter keep a menu to play with while we waited. I included the photos of what everyone got. I was born and raised in Georgia so maybe that's why the taste is so bland. The meatloaf just tasted burnt and like they dumped half the container of pepper in it. The Mac N cheese was decent. They do give generous portion sizes. My son's shrimp Po boy was decent. The lettuse was not limp or wilted. My daughter's bidcuits and gravy looked flavorful but I've had jar gravy that had more flavor. The biscuits were moist. The hash brown were not crispy at all just soggy. I sent the meatloaf back requesting that it be removed from my bill. I took one small fork full to taste it. My daughters captain platter has a burnt flavor as well according to her. I did not try hers. If you want food that is bursting with flavor like true southern food, go somewhere else. But if all you care about is polite service and generous portions then this is the place for you.

Okay, this is the cutest Mexican joint I've ever been to!…read moreIt's like Mexican restaurant meets a little vintage cafe vibe. When you pull up to the restaurant, there's a cute "Tow Mater" truck with a fountain coming out of it. When you enter the restaurant, it's decorated beautifully. It's a walk up to order style. We ordered 2 burritos, a chilaquiles, 2 pancakes, a breakfast plate, a carne asada plate along with 4 hot chocolates. Everything, and I mean everything, was delicious! We've never had chilaquiles before, but so glad we tried it! It was actually my favorite dish out of all of them. Something about that refried beans, over easy egg with the sauce and chips were so good! Restaurant was very clean, even the bathrooms. Workers were nice. Food came out pretty quickly. My kids weren't very excited at first when we were heading there, but once we walked through the door they were hooked. We'll be back

I had the Reuben, it was delicious. like really good. The rye bread, the amount of meat, everything about it. Maybe a more pungent mustard is in order, like one with horseradish.. but that's a personal preference, wanting more acid and punch. Kids had kids stuff. It is what it is. The other half, had the special, mahi mahi dinner. She liked it I think. I thought it was a smidge more on the fishy side. Let's get to the service. I can ignore what were just normal, not stand out dishes; when the service is excellent. It was excellent. From arriving, to being seated to having our order taken very patiently. Stellar service.

My favorite bakery in the most dangerous location in Burien…read more Not dangerous because of crime. Dangerous because it's directly across the street from my gym. Nothing says "great workout" quite like immediately replacing every calorie you just burned with one of Bakery Nouveau's twice-baked chocolate croissants. I prefer to think of it as strategic carbohydrate replenishment. Everything here is exceptional. The pastries are buttery, flaky, and somehow manage to ruin every grocery store croissant for the rest of your life. The coffee is excellent, the staff is consistently friendly, and it's one of those places where it's impossible to leave with only the one thing you came in for. The neighborhood feels safe, parking is plentiful, and the only real hazard is convincing yourself you deserve "just one more pastry." Five stars. My spin instructor may disagree. Bakery Nouveau is worth every extra minute on the bike.

The service here is always top notch. Every employee I've spoken to is friendly and knowledgeable…read more The coffee is also delicious. I love that they make their own chocolate but I have yet to try it as I can't justify spending that much money on a chocolate bar. My favorite item is the twice baked almond croissant. The chocolate is delicious as well. They've gotten much better (in Burien, at least) at dialing in the perfect toast and not over doing it to make it a bit dry and bitter. I'm already planning my trip to pick up some more croissants!

I was surprised that the rest of the world (aka the people walking by on the sidewalk) disappeared while we had good conversation and great food.

Friends had grilled cheese sandwich and tator tots (also too bland), fish tacos, Caesar salad. All great except where noted.

We ordered the cheese curds along with the spicy dry rub wings. The cheese curds were delicious, and all of the dipping sauces were excellent, but for me, the real star of the show was the dry rub wings. They were perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and had just the right amount of spice. I also ordered the BBB Signature Cocktail without the whiskey, and it was refreshing and delicious. Our server was upbeat, fun, and incredibly sweet. In fact, every staff member we interacted with was genuinely kind and welcoming. The atmosphere felt like a true neighborhood pub, with plenty of TVs for watching the game and lots of regulars who clearly feel at home there. The guests seated in front of us were chatting with our waitress like old friends, which really added to the warm, community feel of the place. If you're looking for a laid-back neighborhood bar with great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely worth a visit

In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book.
