Reviews for Magnuson Cafe & Brewery in Seattle, WA
Tater tots were quite good! Views were amazing when the sun was out. Will be back soon.
One of my favorite places to go in the spring/summer!!! This place has an amazing patio with a view, right across from the water... at Magnuson Park. You can eat outside, then go for a walk to watch the sunset! It's extremely dog & kid friendly, and a greatspot to meet up with your family or friends. I believe they have trivia night on Wednesdays (saw a sign for it while I wasthere) which I really want to go to! I always order the Chicken Cobb Salad and a flight of beer. Perfect amount for one person,and great portion sizes. Their fried chicken is perfectly crispy and so unique, I love it! Read more
Garlic fries were a let down. Fries were under seasoned. The oil tasted funky. Garnished with 5 sad pods of garlic that don’t... taste as garlic either. Thankfully the view is a consolation. What can you do. Read more
I'm fairly disappointed because I used to love this place but haven't been back in a couple of years until today. Their food... used to be amazing, but both my friend and I were highly disappointed with our meals. The avocado toast was on a piece of soggy,regular bread, and the biscuits and gravy had 2 tiny sad sort of biscuits. If you're just going for the beer, you'll probably befine. But compared to their previous quality, they have gone very downhill. Read more
I rented a bike and took the Burke-Gillman bike/hike trail at the NE side of Lake Washington. On the way back I left the trail... for a while and visited Magnusson Cafe&Brewery for a lunch. I took a salad and a soft drink, sat outside and and watch the lakeand beach while dining. A place worth visiting. Read more
Cute little spot with great food. Food is almost as good as the view. Be prepared for crowds if you go on a hot sunny day but... it's worth the wait. Read more
Scenic spot with a nice atmosphere, especially around sunset. We stopped in for a beer and food around sunset and had a great... time. This place faces the “wrong direction” for sunsets but it was still incredibly beautiful. Note that the space is veryfriendly to dogs. We loved it but I would avoid it you don’t want to hear some intermittent barking. Food was reasonablypriced with a good range of options. Vegetarian options were solid for a pub. Beer was a bit pricey, however, especiallycompared to the food. I had the black bean burger and tots. The burger was a little sloppily put together, but the flavor wasgreat. I’ll probably try something else next time. Read more
Go for the drinks, not the food. Pet friendly: Yes, outdoor area only Family friendly: Yes Parking: Yes FOOD: Crispy Chicken... Sandwich (buttermilk fried chicken thigh, mayo, pickles, lettuce) $10.50 (+$1 to make it spicy): This was an okay sandwich. Wesaw the crispy chicken sandwich come out and it looked really good (plus big) so we decided to try it out. Taste wise, itsnothing special or different from other chicken sandwich but I want to make sure to point out that if you "make it spicy" theycut your chicken piece in half and stack it. Not sure why they did it cause it actually makes the sandwich looksmaller. Grilled Cheese Sandwich (white cheddar, swiss, caramelized onions, house mustard, toasted sourdough) $7.00: This wasa sad looking grill cheese. It looks like something I would make at home... Tomato Soup $5.50: similar to the chickensandwich, nothing special. Its was good in the sense it was warm and great to drink on a cold day but meh. Kid's Burger(pickle, ketchup, toasted sesame bun) $4.50: I ordered the kids meal because lately I've been in the phase of comparingrestaurant kids items to their adult items. Most places that put an effort in the kids meals usually have a great adult menu(visual, taste, and effort)... so as you can see in the photo, this was one of the places that didnt really care. PLUS, one ofour friends order one of the "regular" burger and the kids burger was almost the same size LOL Kid's tator tots $2.90: Bestfood item! plain o' totes were the best thing out of every food item we ordered. DRINKS: Torpedo Stout: It was okay. I lovedark beers, especially stout but this was nothing to write home about. I honestly dont remember much about it so it tells youhow much I liked it. Peanut Butter Stout: THIS WAS THE BEST! I would definitely order this time and time again. I wouldhonestly come here just for this stout. It had a good hint of peanut butter with a slight chocolate finish. Both balanced verywell wit Read more
