Adventured to the Kidd Valley in Kenmore tonight, Tuesday 11 April 2023, and had a fun meal and dining experience. The building was easy to spot from Northeast Bothell Way and the parking lot was not too cramped. Finding my way inside, placing my order, and paying were straightforward. The workers I saw/interacted with were upbeat and took their jobs seriously.
The garlic fries were perfection to me as a garlic lover. Garlic was the dominant seasoning for my palate, though I could take a few fries and add some salt (salt and pepper packets were provided in the provisions area) and that was delicious as well. For the firehouse club, all of the ingredients were well seasoned on their own and melded harmoniously in my mouth. Bacon strips formed tentacles radiating out from the bun, making each bite contain both proteins (jalapeño bacon and chicken), pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and mayo. Altogether and each on their own were flavorful and satisfying.
I chose to sit outside, which I thoroughly enjoyed, even on a cool, crisp evening in early to mid-April. The noise from the road was not too loud and the music from the outdoor speaker system wafted over the vehicle noise as traffic fluctuated while I ate. read more
