Not a lot of greasy spoons open for early breakfast in the Cap Hill/First Hill area.  For all us ravenous hospital-folk walking off shift around 6-7am you would think there would be more options!  

Glo's is one that is relatively in the vicinity of…More »

Finally made it to the Bang Bang!

I see why there is much hype about this place.  Friendly staff, cute location and tasty vittles!

The unpretentious breakfast joint.  
A rarity it seems in the age of concept heavy restaurants.  Shanty Cafe is a classic greasy spoon with all the dishes you would expect to see.  I came here searching for my self-destructive breakfast obsession,…More »

so nice that Skillet has a permanent home!  Isn't that the American dream?

Luckily came here 10 minutes before they opened on weekday!  I can see why this place would be jammed packed for brunch on weekends.  There was already 8 people milling about outside wating for them to open at 7:30 am.  Some of the many positives.…More »

Macrina Bakery is almost legendary in Seattle.  
My first trip to the Belltown location was for the most part favorable.  I ordered the pumpkin tart but for some reason they initially gave me a chocolate chip cookie.  When I went back to tell them…More »

  Update - 4/2/2010

Sometimes the food here can be hit or miss.  I think I have found the formula at least for the dinner options.  Stick to the burgers.  I've had the chicken pot pie which was so so, also had the buttermild fried chicken which sounded better than it…More »

Missed the brunch menu so this review is about the in-between limbo time limited menu between brunch and dinner....

Missed the breakfast happy hour! Doh!

A little on the pricier side otherwise.  Went with the shared beignets first.  A bit heavier than Cafe Du Monde but still tasty.  Got the crawfish scramble which was okay, wish it had more crawfish but those…More »

For lovers of the classic greasy spoon! Or in this case, the greasy fork!

When I am feeling a bit self-destructive, I go searching for country fried steak or maybe a chicken fried steak.  The differences are up to debate but from what I understand,…More »
