Great restaurant/bar in ballard. Excellent service! For check in you give a phone number and they'll text you when a spot is available! Which is a great concept. I only had to wait about 10 minutes before recieving a text. The drinks were great and came out pretty fast after ordering. Bartenders on their game. I got the bloody mary and grapefruit mimosa. I wasn't too hungry and just got French toast which came with syrup and butter as well as jam! Will definitely come back for more food even if I have to wait a tad.

Not much was open for outdoor dining at lunchtime, but fortunately we happened on Hattie’s. Our table had a table-top heater which didn’t do much for our feet but kept the rest of us warm. For me, the best warming came from a wonderful sausage, bacon, and black-eyes pea soup that was a perfect antidote to the weather. I also had a great beet, walnut, and arugula salad. My spouse enjoyed his cheeseburger and fries and a NA beer. Service was pretty good as well. Good option for good comfort food.

Great experience, Jessica was awesome. The food was great and the drinks were even better.

Best meatloaf ever! I just can't order anything else on their expansive menu. I love this bar. Good drinks served by entertaining bartenders. Reasonably priced food in a cool dive bar. You gotta try this place!

Phenomenal brunch spot - there aren't many places that serve rice and beans with eggs in Seattle! The wait was about 20 minutes - standard for weekend brunch and the vibes were lovely. Loved the cute paintings on the wall! The best bit was the extensive bloody Mary menu. Can't wait to go back!

I was kindly greeted by the host and was told to select my seat. It wasn’t super packed on a Monday morning. The waitress was kind, patient and attentive. They have many hot sauces! The waitress kindly made sure my food was diary-free and made that part easy. The hash browns were somewhat crisp and a kind of mash which made for them to be flavorful not oily or gross like some restaurants. The toast was standard diner style and good. The bacon was thick and the scramble had generous ingredients. Great experience! Music was a style I liked. It was easy for me to work for an hour too. Ladro coffee available! So, I’ll be back! Thank you!

Best "sit down" burger I've had in Seattle. Burger was cooked a perfect medium rare, seasoned well and was properly juicy. Good pickles, good red onion and just overall a dang good burger. Nothing fancy about the fries but they were amazing and cooked perfectly. They must have amazing line cooks! Awesome vibe and environment and very friendly and engaging staff. Will definitely be coming back here often as there is so much more I need to try.Pro Tip: Order a side of their house made pimento cheese to dip your fries in.

Hands down one of the best restaurants I've experienced in a while. Each bite is unreal. 100/100. Do it.

Right in the middle of a busy street in Ballard where they have the farmers market on weekends. Decent service. Food was ok. Vaccine card and masks required.
