I want to like it, and I am not even sure why. The menu, in theory, is pure American food joy, but the execution is so so. There are times you want a burger and fries, but don't want to pay and arm and a leg, but also want booze. Well, this place doesn't necessarily satisfy the prior part nowadays, but if you are lazy on a Sunday afternoon, it can be an ok place to check out the games and get a burger.
Went to the "original" one for lunch on Friday, and as expected, your stomach doens't feel quite right for a few hours....but it was relatively tasty food and the waitresses have always been nice there. (All the RR's I have been too)

When I used to live on the eastside, I would go out of my way to come to this market. Sure, its a national chain, and yes, its expensive, but so much of the food there is SO good.
I liked the produce section and the prepared foods the best, but overall the brands they get there and the bulk food are really top notch.
If you are a vegetarian or health conscious, this market really caters to that vibe. Check it out.

I was excited when I initially found this place not too far from where I lived. That was short lived. Coming from Chicago, and LOVING Chicago style pizza, I admit, I am a tough critic.

So what do I think of Delfino's? Not even close to the real deal. Sure, it took as long to make one as in Chicago, but that is where the similarities end.
The only people who would think this is really Chicago style pizza are the ones that have never had the real deal.
If I was going to go to a place boasting chicago style pizza, I would go to Wallingford Pizza house first.

I like coming here on weekend mornings and getting something to munch on and a coffee. It's typically busy, but its a pretty large place and there is room to eat outside if its a decent day.
I have also come here for later meals and the sandwiches have been good and the people working there have always been pleasant.
I consider it a neighborhood bakery, but I know they have a few throughout the area. (and beyond?)

Leny's is probably what you would classify as your neighborhood dive, but amazingly enough a pretty diverse crowd can be found there most nights.
They have a nice selection of beer and hard alcohol, a decent jukebox, food until about 10pm, 2 pool tables, and darts.
If you want to go have some drinks, but still be able to have conversations and possibly meet interesting people, Leny's could be your place.

Cafe Lago is a dimly lit rustic italian restaurant right by Montlake Bicycles and 520. It looks nice on the outside, but most people don't think of food in that area, they are probably frustrated from a really lame commute and just want to get home.
Put that aside though and go order yourself a nice glass of red wine and the lasagna. I can guarantee you never tasted a better lasagna. (grandma's excluded)
If that's not your deal, they do have other good options, but at least once check it out. The place is a bit pricey though, so be prepared.

I typically listen to CD's in the car, but if I turn on the radio, the dial always ends up on KEXP. They have a great ecelectic range of shows, and always seem to have something good playing, even if I am not particularly into the genre.
Another good thing about them is that they really only have commercials around the time that they are trying to raise money for "user powered radio", and they have a great webcast you can get a stream from, and it has all the playlists.

This place is fun to come during the summer months and grab a good meal and margarita on the patio. It's right across the street from Greenlake, so if you are motivated, you can be healthy and take a nice walk afterward.
Tacos Guayamas has many restaurants in the Seattle area, but I think this one and the Fremont ones seem to be the best overall.

This place tries to make Chicago style pizza, and I only really ding it because its not even close...but, the pizza there is still pretty good.
If you are from this area, I would say its some of the best Seattle has to offer. Another place I recently have gone to and really liked was Northlake Pizza. These two places give you both sides of the pizza world. (from Seattle's perspective)
If you want to come here, prepare for a possible wait, its a small, cramped restaurant. If the patio is open, its definitely easier...
The owner/manager (at least I think he is one of them) is always very polite and accomodating as well. Check it out for some good pizza.

I have been living in Seattle for 6 years, and I have always meant to go to Ezell's, but for some reason, never made it...and I really had no excuse living in Cap Hill.

I have been living in Seattle for 6 years, and I have always meant to go to Ezell's, but for some reason, never made it...and I really had no excuse living in Cap Hill.
Anyway, long story short, got lunch there the other day and the service was quick, the price decent, and the food absolutely excellent. We got both the spicy and regular chicken, biscuits, and a couple sides.
If you go there around lunchtime (during the week), there will be a ton of Garfield high students hanging around, but they were all polite, so it was no big deal.
If you are looking for healthy food, don't go here, if you are looking for really tasty fried chicken in a to-go environment, this is definitely your place.
