I have to agree with Ass Man...its the best Thai food in Seattle.
A lot of times different dishes can look like they have the same flavor, but this place definitely does not. I forget which one it is but I believe my favorite noodle on the menu is the…More »

This place is a far cry from the droopy cheese laden soggy tortilla nightmare I call Mama's...its worth it for a trip just to watch the gaggle of 4' tall mexican ladies making the tortillas near the salsa bar...and the salsa bar! I love fresh…More »

I'm from NJ and I'm pretty picky about my pizza. That said, I've been able to dumb down my pizza snobbiness and even go so far as to eat at Pagliacci and Zeeks (yikes, I know...)

If you're in a conundrum about Piecora's vs Hot Mama's, I'd pick Hot…More »

Ok maybe this isnt exactly gonna keep you skinny...but unless you are insanely hungry any meal on their menu is $8 and under. The spicy fried chicken is really good (i'm a breading person...if only they could have chicken flavored breading -i dont…More »

This rating is for their happy hour. I have never eaten dinner here as I think its too expensive besides the fact that their happy hour portions leave me feeling like I just danced my ass off to Solid Gold. Yehoo!!

Two words...Muddy Buddy.

Peanut butter, brownie, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, frozen custard...share this with someone or you'll hate yourself. Nice way to top off a dinner at Spinasse.

The Muddy Buddy is a meal replacement.
