The mason jars as water glasses set the tone from the beginning for a lousy, poorly orchestrated dining experience. My breakfast plate had cold toast, overly burnt potatoes and a barely edible omelette that tasted like someone took the top off a pizza and cooked it again in 2 eggs. The waiter was surly and we waited ages to get our food. My boyfriend's corn cakes were in theory very good, but also not warmed adequately. His omelette was bland, and the sausage accompanying it was cold. This was the 3rd time I tried eating there this year and I am still not impressed. I will not return there any more. Pros: Fun ambiance Cons: Lousy food, surly waitstaff, too crowded on weekends & holidays for breakfast

My food was overcooked, and did not taste authentic. When I first entered the restaurant, I had to stand for longer than necessary, then finally walked around trying to get someone to realize that I was there. When my food arrived, it was so terrible that I felt guilty about spending any money at all. The price is definitely not comparable to the quality. Right now, they are serving a North Beach (San Francisco). As a local Northern Californian, I was excited to see what they could do. I wasn't impressed with anything that I ordered and the service was slow. The only reason I would ever go back to this restaurant is if they changed their prices to "pay what you think it's worth" - then I'd probably save a lot of money. Pros: Good idea, good location. Cons: Value, quality of food & service, and atmosphere are all well below average.

Is it really that hard to actually toast BOTH sides of the bread when making toast? I find it truly disgusting. Please respond to this site- I will check it regularly- when you actually learn that toast generally consists of browning both sides of the bread- not lightly browning one side, and leaving the other completely alone. NOT GOOD. And when asked to fix please? THE ANSWER WAS NOOOOOOOOO! Super gross. Mushy. Toast. really? Is it that hard?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: None yet. I really want to like it, but yuck Cons: YUCK

I've been a loyal customer of the 5 Spot for over a decade now and still love it to death! Their rotating menu, which changes every 3 months, always keeps open the options for trying something new. And their standard menu is loaded with some of my favorites. The Brisket is the best I've ever had and the kids love the homestyle Mac & Cheese! Breakfasts and weekend dinner time can be crowded so come early and be prepared to wait a bit especially with bigger groups, but I promise it'll be worth the wait! Pros: Some of the best food in town for the $$ Cons: Not enough seating to handle the crowds

Let me start by saying that I eat a lot of Turkey sandwiches (5-7 per week minimum), so it is hard to impress me. I ordered the open faced turkey sandwich and was left speechless. The turkey was freshly roasted, mash potatoes creamy, and gravy flavorful. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. My wife had the special, a blackened chicken breast served open face with a red pepper aoili on the bun and covered with cheeese. It came with deep fried battered leeks, which we had never had. Real tasty. We also ordered the shrimp and okra app, but this can be avoided as it is really just a plate of deep fried stuff. Pros: Turkey, The Special

Breakfast was ok (that's about it). Gave them a second chance for dinner and won't waste my time going any further. Cons: The food and the service

i have only lived in seattle a couple of years, so maybee the place was bland and disapointing before, but itsgreat now. i was recomended by a friend and thought the idea of a changing menu and decore sounded unique and fun. and i was not disapointed. the place is lively and full of energy and color. the service was amazing and our waitress was very knowledgeable about beers, and ingredients in the food. i eat there regularly now. and one morning i went out to breakfast at another place closer to where i live. and its easy to forget how incrediable hashbrowns eggs and bacon can be, until i eat some that aren't. further making me appreciate how awsome the food at the 5 spot is! meat and potates hooray! ! ! Pros: atmosephere, service, wall art, tasty tasty Cons: kid friendly

My brother, father and I went to breakfast at 5 Spot, my brother and I both are in the service, I was in civilian attire and he in his uniform were refused service. As a member of the services, it is very sad when you are ignored and repeatedly told to wait another 20 min at a restaurant that obviously has openings (seating 5 families of equal size who also walked in after you) and repeating "For YOU it will be another 20 min" after almost an hour we left. This restaurant has had decent food in the past but will never have us as customers again. Pros: decent food Cons: bad service and high prices
