Reviews for Ivar's Seafood Bar in Renton, WA
This is a family favorite! It's the fish and chips Ivar's is known for, set literally on Lake Washington. The food is reliable,... staff is always friendly, and the setting is relaxing. My favorite feature is the garage door style walls that they open up whenthe weather is nice. Read more
We stopped by here today with our kiddos for a cup of their famous clam chowder, bread bowl chowder and salmon chowder. The... chowders are delicious, great service and watch a view of Lake Washington. Read more

Best fast food seafood chain in town. Great place for lunch with a view. I come here regularly on my days off to enjoy the water... while eating salmon and fried clams. Read more
Great, affordable food with an excellent view! It came out quickly and fresh from the fryer. ???? I ordered the Seafood Combo... and it came with one piece of fish, fried shrimp, fried clams, and fries. Very satisfying. I also loved the condiment bar.Especially the cocktail sauce, tartar, and vinegars. Great place for a simple and quick meal. Read more
Came here on Friday afternoon lunch while visiting Renton. It was half full from about the 10 tables outside on the pier and... tables on the inside. Walked in and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Wanted to try the traditional fish and chips, soordered the Alaska True Cod, but also tried the Wild Alaska Halibut Fish and Chips. For the sides, ordered the Clam Chowder andCole Slaw. Within 10 minutes, they brought the order to the table. There were nice thick cuts of Cod and Halibut. Asked forsome malt vinegar as I don't like for tartar sauce or anything else to take away from the flavor of the fish. The fish was veryfresh and flaky on the inside with a nice fried crisp on the outside. The chowder thick, creamy, and also had nice chunks ofclam. It was a little too cold to eat outside, but the inside still provide a nice view of the water. After the meal, it was anice walk around the boardwalk right around the restaurant. I can imagine how nice it is to sit outside and enjoy your meal. This place had good quality seafood without paying the high restaurant prices. Read more
Great spot for an affordable lakefront lunch- Highly recommend the original fish and chips, jumbo or baby prawns, coleslaw and... original clam chowder as a go to for a delicious and cheap meal with family or friends. Halibut and chips are good but a bitpricey, and the salmon and chips are a bit too dry for my liking. Service is pretty prompt and the view is especially amazing-Attached is the photo of our view while me and my family ate. Highly recommend! Read more
I mean your paying $13.99 for nasty shrimp that hasn?t been cleaned. I know they just put in a fryer but Ivars needs to do a... better job of what they are serving to their customers. This is gross I lost my appetite and my money. Read more
