Unfortunately for my arteries, I have been compulsively eating every burger in Seattle.  The reuben burger at Dope is the best burger I've had so far.  It is perfect.

The Philly cheese steak sandwich is amazing. I've been going there since 1973 when it was one of the three restaurants in all of Issaquah. Definitely one of a kind.

Long lines at lunch time.  Their fries a little lame.  Easy menu.

Compared to other Hard Rock Cafes, this one is underwhelming in that the memorabilia is less-than-impressive (e.g., a signed (but presumably unused) guitar of Kurdt Cobain).
